Qi Qun took a deep breath, her tears already beginning to pool at the corners of her eyes, "Weihuan, I have lived a long life. I don’t expect much anymore, all I hope for is that you three can live peacefully, have successful careers, and find a suitable spouse. That would be enough for me! Weihuan, will you promise to stay at home today as a favor to me?"
Li Weihuan ultimately ignored Qi Qun’s pleas and left. His patience had been ground thin over the years!
He understood his mother’s character thoroughly, which is why he was somewhat skeptical of her tears and affection!
As soon as he left the house, his phone started to ring. It was a call from Bai Yuchuan, "Can you join us? If not, we’re leaving!"
"Wait!" Li Weihuan shouted, "I’m on my way!"
Once in Yuchuan’s car, Li Weihuan furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Are we going to the hospital? Or to your sister’s?"
Li Weihuan remained silent. Originally, he planned to visit the hospital to take the injured bastard out a second time to repay his sister.
But on the journey, he hesitated!
He recalled the words Mo Yan had said to him earlier: regardless of the situation, Lu will try to suppress it, but if it can be suppressed once, it cannot be suppressed a second time...
So, was Mo Yan reminding him that rushing forward once, twice, was enough, and now it’s time for him to grow up!
He closed his eyes, rubbed his face, he can’t be willful anymore!
He had already lost Nanxi, did he have to lose his sister too? No more!
"Drop me off at the crossroads ahead!" He said.
Bai Yuchuan was stunned, looking at him in disbelief. Clearly, he thought he had heard wrong!
"Drop me off at the crossroads ahead..."
Li Weihuan repeated, his voice firmer than before!
Lun Ying was surprised when she received a call from Li Weihuan.
Li Weihuan invited her to lunch, and she declined.
People are strange. What you think is right might be wrong, and what you think is wrong might be right!
Gui Xi was right, she had finally found a peaceful life, and she shouldn’t break it because of one person!
"I’m on duty today, I don’t have time!" She said.
"You’re on duty even during lunch?"
"So you don’t even have a lunch break? Is Gui Xi being too harsh!"
"What’s Gui Xi’s phone number, I am going to call him..."
"...Weihuan!" Lun Ying took a deep breath, Weihuan was still as mischievous as he used to be, nothing had changed!
"I’m on duty because of the hospital’s arrangements, it’s the hospital’s regulations. It’s not Gui Xi’s fault! So why do you want to call him?" She asked.
Alright, Li Weihuan could understand Lun Ying’s professional duties. But since he was here, he wasn’t ready to just leave, he wanted to see her!
"Then apply for leave, or find someone to cover your shift! I’ll cover your salary cut! Can you do that?" He suggested.
"This is not about the money!" She responded.
"Then what’s the problem?" Li Weihuan was confused, "Or, is it that you don’t want to have lunch with me?"
"Then come out! I’m waiting for you! Also, you better hurry, I haven’t eaten breakfast, I’m hungry!" He said, and hung up before Lun Ying could refuse.
Lun Ying held the phone, stunned, until a colleague called her, she came back to her senses!
"Nurse Wang is looking for you. She needs you to check the patients in the west wing, and organize all their medical records to send over by noon!"
Lun Ying pursed her lips, watching her colleague about to leave, and hurriedly called out to her, "Youyou!"
"Youyou, um...well, I’m not feeling well today and I wanted to ask if you could cover my shift..."
"What’s wrong? Are you okay?"
"It’s nothing, I’m just exhausted from these shifts recently!"
Lun Ying tightened her grip on her phone, she felt the weight of telling her first lie!
Her colleague nodded, "I agree, you’ve been following up on several major surgeries these days, it’s strange if you’re not tired... You go back and rest, leave the rest to me, but don’t mention anything about taking shifts. You’ve covered for me many times in the past and every time I offer to repay you, you refuse, it makes me feel bad... This time, consider it my chance to pay you back!"
"Thank you so much, Youyou!"
"No need to be polite, it’s no trouble!"
Lun Ying returned to her resting room and changed her clothes. She looked at herself in the mirror and was fairly satisfied.
When she walked out, she ran into a colleague. Seeing Lun Ying, she exclaimed, "Wow, Lun Ying, you look so pretty. Are you going on a date?"
"No... no!" Lun Ying gave an awkward smile, not knowing what to say!
Last time, some of her colleagues saw Li Weihuan and Lun Ying together, and the gossip spread among the nurses. Lun Ying didn’t defend herself, only explaining when asked by colleagues, "We’re just friends!"
But in the end, she realized that the explanation was useless. The rumor lost steam because Li Weihuan did not appear again after that day.
The residual heat of the gossip gradually cooled down!
The colleague gave a knowing smile, "Alright, if you don’t want to say it, we understand. Go ahead, don’t keep him waiting too long!"
"It’s really not..." Lun Ying wanted to explain something, but the pager on the nurse rang. She waved her hand at Lun Ying and left, even making a thumbs-up gesture. Lun Ying was both helpless and speechless!
This time, Li Weihuan didn’t wait for her in the hospital, but in a corner a bit distant from the hospital!
Lun Ying couldn’t see him anywhere, and it wasn’t until he actively called to guide her that she found him!
"You’re so hidden, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you were on the run!" Lun Ying teased. She had her hands in her pockets and looked at him indifferently!
Li Weihuan’s lip corner twitched, she was right, at this moment, he was indeed running away!
