Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

After leaving Principal Kang's office, Lin Bufan checked the time and didn't immediately join the Love Apartment group. He turned out of the school gate, bought a small cake at a roadside dessert shop, and went straight to the hospital.

When Lin Bufan walked into the ward carrying the cake, Chen Nanxing was sitting at the head of the bed, chatting and laughing with her parents. Her face was rosy and her eyes were bright, she didn't look like a patient at all.

Because Chen Nanxing's condition improved, the gloomy look on Chen's father and mother's faces disappeared, and there was a relaxed smile between their brows.

"Uncle and aunt, Nanxing, what are you talking about so happily?" Lin Bufan greeted them with a smile and placed the cake on the bedside table.

"Xiao Lin is here!" Chen Nanxing's mother immediately stood up enthusiastically. "We were just talking about Nanxing's embarrassing childhood. This child has recovered quickly and is full of energy now."

Chen Nanxing's father also smiled and nodded: "Yes, thanks to you, Xiaolin."

When Chen Nanxing saw Lin Bufan, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curved up noticeably: "You're here."

"It seems that I came at the right time. I will have the pleasure of listening to stories." Lin Bufan pulled over a chair and sat down.

Chen Nanxing's mother looked at Lin Bufan, then at her daughter, who was beaming with joy. Suddenly, she tugged at her husband's arm and said, "Old man, I seem to remember the doctor saying we should confirm the time for tomorrow's checkup. Should we go and ask now?"

Chen Nanxing's father was stunned for a moment and said blankly: "Really? Didn't the nurse just say..."

"Oh, you have such a bad memory!" Chen Nanxing's mother pulled Chen's father up without saying anything and said to Lin Bufan with a smile: "Xiao Lin, sit down for a while and talk to Nanxing. We will be back soon."

Lin Bufan naturally understood what Mother Chen was thinking, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Oh, okay, take care, uncle and aunt."

Chen's father and mother walked out of the ward and gently closed the door. Father Chen scratched his head in confusion and asked in a low voice, "Old lady, when did the doctor say he was going to confirm the examination time? Why didn't I hear it?"

Mother Chen rolled her eyes at Father Chen and dragged him a few steps to the end of the corridor: "The doctor didn't say that! I made it up!"

"Huh?" Father Chen was even more confused: "Why did you make this up without any reason?"

"You're such a blockhead!" Mother Chen poked Father Chen's forehead in frustration. "Don't you see what our daughter is thinking?"

"What are you thinking?" Father Chen blinked blankly.

Mother Chen came closer, pointed towards the ward, and gave a meaningful look.

Father Chen followed Mother Chen's gaze and looked at the tightly closed ward door. He was stunned for a few seconds, then his eyes suddenly widened and his voice rose involuntarily: "You mean... Nanxing likes Xiaolin..."

"Shh! Are you going to die?" Mother Chen was so frightened that she quickly covered Father Chen's mouth with her hand and looked around nervously: "Keep your voice down! We're still in the hospital! Are you afraid that others won't hear you?"

Father Chen broke free from Mother Chen's hand, stamping his feet anxiously and saying anxiously in a low voice, "How could Nanxing like Xiaolin? Have you forgotten that girl who looks exactly like Hongdou? Isn't that Xiaolin's girlfriend? Our Nanxing...what's going on? This is...this is nonsense!"

Mother Chen sighed, a look of helplessness and loneliness emerging on her face: "Do you think I don't know? But Nanxing is already thirty years old. She never even looked at any of the candidates I introduced her to before. Now she finally falls in love with someone. How can I say cold water on her? Besides, what's Nanxing's situation now? She's just starting to get better. Do I dare to say anything? What if it upsets her..."

Father Chen opened his mouth, but thought of his daughter's recent improvement and the long-lost glow on her face, and swallowed the words back. He sighed heavily, his shoulders slumping, and he lowered his head in silence. The only sound in the corridor was the smell of disinfectant and the faint sound of footsteps in the distance.

……

Meanwhile, in the ward, Lin Bufan cut a small piece of cake for Chen Nanxing, then pulled out several lollipops of different flavors from his pocket and placed them on the bedside table. He casually said, "Here, I've prepared all the special medicine for you for the next few days. Strawberries, oranges, peaches... take turns. I have something to do here, so I might be busy for a few days. I won't be able to come over every day to supervise you taking your medicine."

Chen Nanxing was nibbling at her cake when she paused imperceptibly, her grip on the small plastic fork tightening slightly. She quickly raised her head, her bright smile still on her face, and said briskly, "I know, Great Doctor Lin! Go back to your business. I'm not a child; I'll eat on time."

Although Chen Nanxing disguised herself well, Lin Bufan still caught the fleeting look of disappointment in her eyes, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, fleeting yet clear. A thought struck him, and he deliberately leaned closer, lowering his voice and speaking mysteriously, "Why? Can't bear to leave me? Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. If I say I can cure anything, I never give up halfway! When we're done with this, I'll take you somewhere nice to celebrate your complete recovery. I guarantee it'll be a hundred times more enjoyable than almond tofu and boating in the park!"

Chen Nanxing's cheeks flushed slightly, not knowing whether it was because of Lin Bufan's sudden approach or the teasing in his words. She shoved Lin Bufan in a scolding tone, the force as light as a feather brush. "Who can't bear to part with you? Stop being so conceited! I'm just... just worried that without you around, this lollipop won't be as effective."

"Don't worry about that!" Lin Bufan patted his chest and assured, his face full of confidence: "This exclusive secret recipe of mine is all about long-lasting effects! Not to mention a few days, even if it lasts for a month or so, the efficacy will be amazing! Just rest assured and wait for me to come back and take you out for some fun!"

Hearing this, the remaining haze in Chen Nanxing's eyes completely dissipated, and his smile became bright and genuine again. He nodded vigorously: "Well! Then I'll wait for you."

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Bufan glanced at the time and stood up: "Okay, I really have to go. You should have a good rest, take your medicine on time, and contact me anytime if you have anything."

"I know. Be careful on the road." Chen Nanxing leaned against the head of the bed and waved at Lin Bufan with a smile.

After leaving the hospital, Lin Bufan reunited with the main group of Love Apartment, and the group began their tour in Kyoto.

Hu Yifei is still the energetic person in the team, directing everyone to various attractions;

Zeng Xiaoxian never forgets to show his "cheap boy" nature anytime and anywhere, making all kinds of jokes and making people laugh and scold;

Lu Ziqiao...well, Lu Ziqiao is not here. He has left the team and is galloping on horseback!

Zhang Wei, Guan Gu Shenqi and Zhan Bo also left the team at the same time, but the three of them were fooled away by Lu Ziqiao!

Chen Meijia, Lin Wanyu, and Tang Youyou were immersed in various snacks and souvenir shops, shouting and yelling;

Lin Bufan and Qin Yumo followed at the end of the team. The two of them stuck together tightly, looking as if they were stuck together with 502 glue.

After a full day of exploring Kyoto, everyone was exhausted. From the Great Wall to the Forbidden City to the crowded streets of Nanluoguxiang, Hu Yifei's itinerary could be described as a "special forces tour." In the evening, exhausted, the group returned to their hotel and found a random, seemingly pleasant restaurant for dinner.

At the dinner table, even Zeng Xiaoxian, the most boisterous of all, just buried his head in his food, occasionally grumbling feebly. Chen Meijia wailed, "My feet don't even belong to me anymore." Lin Wanyu and Tang Youyou slumped back in their chairs, too lazy to even sort out their shopping sprees. So, everyone unanimously decided not to go anywhere tonight and return to the hotel after dinner to rest.

After returning to the hotel, everyone said good night to each other and went back to their rooms.

Although he is very tired, just as Lin Bufan and Lan Weiwei said, no matter how busy he is at work, he will insist on at least three hours of exercise before going to bed every night!

After finishing, Qin Yumo snuggled in Lin Bufan's arms, her fingertips unconsciously drawing circles on his chest. Her voice was filled with the laziness of the aftermath and a hint of imperceptible loss: "Bufan... I have to go back tomorrow."

Lin Bufan tightened his arms, buried his face in the crook of Qin Yumo's neck, and said sullenly, "Why are you leaving so soon? Can't you stay a few more days? Look, Yifei and the others are still going to play for several more days."

"I want to, too," Qin Yumo sighed, turning to face Lin Bufan, his eyes filled with helplessness. "But I've already asked the company for several days off to promote the movie. I've already taken a lot of leave on and off during filming before, and it's really unacceptable to delay it any further. The director is already having some complaints."

"So many rules at this broken job!" Lin Bufan grumbled in dissatisfaction, then his eyes lit up and he propped himself up and looked at Qin Yumo: "Yumo, why don't you quit? I'll invest in you to start a company in the cosmetics field that you're good at. Then I'll give you the distribution rights for the products developed by Xiaohei's subsidiary. You can be your own boss and rest whenever you want. You don't have to worry about other people's opinions anymore!"

Qin Yumo's eyes lit up instantly, as if they were star-studded. "Really? Are you willing to support me in going it alone?"

"Of course!" Lin Bufan patted his chest and assured, "We have all the funds and resources you need! I've always felt that you were being overshadowed by your current company. With your ability and vision, you can definitely succeed on your own!"

Qin Yumo excitedly hugged Lin Bufan's neck and kissed him hard on the face, but after calming down, she shook her head and said, "Thank you, Bufan. But... even if I really have to leave, I have to finish the work at hand. The director who led me is actually very good to me. She gave me many opportunities. I can't just leave. I have to at least stand guard for the last shift and handle all the work that needs to be handed over."

Looking at Qin Yumo's serious expression, Lin Bufan could only pretend to be reluctant but also indifferent and said teasingly: "Then... I will go back with you tomorrow? Anyway, I have been to Kyoto many times."

Qin Yumo felt warm in her heart, but she could see Lin Bufan's reluctance to leave, so she found a reason for him not to go back: "Don't worry. Yifei and the others rarely come here, and they are having a great time. As half the host, how can you run away early? Just stay with them for a few more days. I'll go back to take care of my work and wait for you to come back."

Seeing that Lin Bufan still looked reluctant, Qin Yumo leaned forward and kissed the corner of his mouth, saying softly, "Okay, it's settled. It's not like we'll never see each other again. I'll just be going back a few days earlier than you."

Early the next morning, Lin Bufan sent Qin Yumo to the airport, and Zhan Bo was also with him.

There is no way. Zhanbo is now the "stabilizing force" of Xiaobai's subsidiary, and he is absolutely indispensable.

Not long after Qin Yumo and Lin Bufan said they were leaving yesterday, Zhanbo received a notice from the company stating that there were some emergencies that required him to go back and deal with!

And this has nothing to do with the message Lin Bufan sent to Andy!

Uh--

Ok!

In fact, it was Lin Bufan who sent a message to Andy, asking her to call Zhanbo back.

Although the relationship between Zhanbo and Wanyu is not as good as in the original drama, there is nothing we can do about it, because Zhanbo is too busy with work!

But! Now that Qin Yumo is gone, Lin Bufan naturally has to seize the time to develop in-depth with Wanyu, and as Zhanbo is an unstable factor, it is better for him to leave!

Although Qin Yumo and Zhan Bo were sent away, the remaining few people were not affected at all and were still as excited as ever.

For the first two days, everyone maintained their collective actions, traveling to various scenic spots under Hu Yifei's "wise" command. But soon, differences emerged.

Zeng Xiaoxian had little interest in historical and cultural sites, and was clamoring to experience the "real Kyoto nightlife";

Chen Meijia and Tang Youyou are more obsessed with the endless shopping malls and specialty shops;

And Hu Yifei... she seemed to want to complete all the possible routes within one day in the shortest possible time, but it was obvious that everyone's physical strength was not enough to complete this difficult task.

So, after an afternoon that Hu Yifei had arranged to be like a triathlon, everyone collapsed on the sofas in the hotel lobby and engaged in a friendly and peaceful "group negotiation." In the end, Zeng Xiaoxian successfully persuaded Guan Gu Shenqi to join him in exploring "urban legends."

Chen Meijia and Tang Youyou formed the "Shopping Maniac Duo";

Hu Yifei brought along Zhang Wei, who seemed weak but had unexpected endurance, to continue her plan of "conquering Kyoto."

Naturally, Lin Bufan and Lin Wanyu came together. They looked at each other and saw the consensus of "leisure vacation" in each other's eyes.

"How about we... just take a walk, eat and shop around, without rushing?" Lin Wanyu suggested with a smile, her tone cheerful.

"That's exactly what I want." Lin Bufan stretched out his hand, Wanyu took it naturally, and they smiled at each other.

Over the next few days, their itinerary became unusually relaxed. With no fixed destination in mind, they slept until they woke naturally, then leisurely ventured out. They would spend entire afternoons in an obscure park, watching the elderly play chess and children play; they would wander into a bustling alleyway, searching for the legendary authentic douzhi (soy bean juice) and jiaoquan (fried dough sticks); and on a sunny afternoon, they would stumble into a quiet cafe, share a piece of cake, read a favorite book, and occasionally exchange a few words, creating a warm and tacit atmosphere.

The relationship between the two has heated up again after it warmed up during the filming of the movie!
