The two of them strolled along the street, watching the distant sky turning pale, the occasional bird calls from the roadside trees, and an autumn breeze blowing, bringing a hint of coolness.

It was a little after five, neither too early nor too late, and most of the breakfast shops near the hospital were still closed. The only option was McDonald's, but Lin Xiaowan stopped in front of the door and didn't want to go in.

"I want to eat something hot, but I don't want to eat McDonald's. I'm tired of it after working the night shift." Lin Xiaowan said, looking at the McDonald's M logo.

Zhang Yang searched the road and saw a cart selling pancakes in the distance.

"How about a pancake?"

"Such a greasy thing..." Lin Xiaowan's face showed a look of disgust.

Zhang Yang frowned. This was difficult. Either they had to walk farther away from the hospital, or the two of them would just stay on the side of the road and wait until dawn.

Seeing his embarrassment, she pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm just teasing you. Such greasy food must be delicious."

Zhang Yang's mouth twitched: "Doctor Lin, since when did you start to like telling jokes?"

Lin Xiaowan raised her chin towards him: "I learned it from someone."

Zhang Yang was speechless. She was like two different people in her daily life and at work, and she would often do some naughty things.

The owner of the Jianbing Guozi restaurant is a middle-aged lady. Zhang Yang ordered two Jianbing Guozi with bacon and eggs.

The old lady scooped up a spoonful of batter skillfully, turned her wrist slightly, and spread the batter evenly into a circle. As the heat rose, Lin Xiaowan's gold-rimmed glasses were covered with a thin layer of mist.

Providing meticulous service to customers at all times is one of the principles of a professional bootlicker.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang reached out to help her take off her glasses. Lin Xiaowan was stunned and didn't know what he was going to do.

He just wiped it with the corner of his clothes, and the lens immediately became bright again.

"Who asked you to use clothes to wipe me?" Lin Xiaowan said with a slight frown, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Zhang Yang grinned and said, "How about I blow some air into you again?"

Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at him, snatched the glasses from his hand and put them back on his nose, as if she was afraid that he would really breathe on the glasses.

At this time, two fragrant pancakes were out of the oven. They each had one, accompanied by a cup of hot soy milk, and slowly walked back to the hospital.

Lin Xiaowan took a bite of the pancake, which made a crisp sound. She asked casually, "The person who underwent surgery today is very important to you, right?"

Zhang Yang hesitated for a while before saying, "He was the director of the orphanage when I was there. His illness this time was also very sudden. I had no choice but to trouble you."

Lin Xiaowan smiled and said, "I am a doctor. It is my job to cure diseases and save lives. It seems that you are a sentimental person. The director of the orphanage deserves your help."

Zhang Yang said: "If he hadn't taken me in back then, I don't know if I would still be here now."

Seeing that he was still somewhat worried, Lin Xiaowan said, "Don't worry, you have to trust my medical skills. The patient will wake up later in the day and should be fine after recuperating for a while."

Zhang Yang nodded and changed the subject: "By the way, I saw you at the mall last time. Why did you leave with your foreign friends without saying hello to me?"

He deliberately changed the subject, mainly because he didn't want to talk too much with the client about the orphanage.

Unexpectedly, this sentence choked Lin Xiaowan. Why didn't you say hello?

I felt guilty, of course I felt guilty. Although I had told Zhang Yang before that I was a lesbian, I also told him that I was single now.

She stammered, "It's just... it's hard to explain to my friend what our relationship is, for fear of causing misunderstanding."

It's really hard to explain. From the way Jian addressed Zhang Yang, it can be seen that she had misunderstood.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's okay, just explain it however you think it should be explained, don't worry about my problem."

He is very clear about his positioning, which is to provide emotional value to customers. As long as the customers are happy, it doesn't matter how he feels.

Lin Xiaowan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhang Yang did not realize Jian's identity at that time, but why should she be relieved?

Her mood suddenly relaxed, and she finished the pancake in just a few bites. She then turned her eyes to the half that Zhang Yang had not finished eating.

Zhang Yang looked at her, and before he could protect his bag of pancakes, she had snatched it away.

"Hey, Dr. Lin, that's half of what I ate. If you don't have enough, we can buy another one."

Lin Xiaowan held the half in her arms and said, "No, I just want to eat another half. If I buy more, I won't be able to eat it anymore. It's a waste."

Zhang Yang was speechless. Doctor Lin was really weird sometimes. Why wouldn't he let go of even half a pancake?

She laughed and played like a child who had stolen honey, trotted a few steps in front of him, and raised her hand to stop a taxi.

Before getting in the car, she turned around and waved, "I'm going back first. Call me if you have anything."

In fact, Jane was very unhappy when she came out, and she couldn't leave her alone, an Englishwoman, at home, so she had to go back quickly.

"Okay, be careful on the road." Zhang Yang also waved to her.

……

After returning to the hospital, Zhang Yang went to the intensive care unit to check on Uncle Li. He hadn't woken up yet. The nurse said that he had been given a large amount of anesthesia and it would take at least half a day for him to wake up.

He and Aunt Chen had been busy all night and were very tired, but he still asked Aunt Chen to rest for a while before coming back to take over for him.

He waited until eleven o'clock in the morning, when Aunt Chen had already taken a nap. He was already very tired and finally lay down on the accompanying bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't know how long he slept, but his nose moved and suddenly a familiar fragrance came to his nose.

He had often smelled this fragrance for more than two years and suddenly sat up. It was a conditioned reflex. Normally, he had to do something to please Miss Shi at this time.

Wait, wasn't I in the hospital?

Zhang Yang was confused and rubbed his eyes. When he looked carefully, he saw that the familiar person appeared in the ward.

Her slender back, her long, straight legs, her black shoulder-length hair, and her favorite white dress paired with brown boots.

Even if this figure was mixed in with ten thousand people, he would be able to recognize it at a glance.

Zhang Yang was stunned: "Yuxuan, why are you here?"

Shi Yuxuan looked back at him, the afternoon sun shining through her face, emitting a layer of pleasing white light.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile as warm as a crabapple flower: "Your family member is sick and hospitalized, so of course I am here."

Zhang Yang was even more stunned: "No... I'm asking you, how do you know I'm in this hospital?" "Thanks to netizens Xuri Xiangsiqian, Xiaoshu Du Shuren, Dongfang Si, and I am Foke for the reward"
