Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Lin Zheng, who was thin-skinned, went back for a day, but Jingzhi didn't contact him until the next day.

He wondered if she was unhappy because he ran away without her.

After struggling for a long time, he finally called her after work.

But the person who answered the phone was the nurse Wang Qi whom she had been talking about.

"You're the one who's causing trouble... uh... Lin Zheng, right? Jingzhi isn't here. She's in surgery right now and probably won't be out for two or three hours."

Lin Zheng's heart sank suddenly.

He stood up, gripped the corner of the table with his right hand, and his voice began to tremble uncontrollably:

"What's wrong with her? What happened to her???"

Hearing Lin Zheng's panicked tone, Azhi looked over and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

Wang Qi on the other end of the phone seemed to realize that her words were likely to be misunderstood. She smiled embarrassedly and explained:

"I mean, she's at work, doing a craniotomy on a patient. You know, it's major surgery, and she won't be out for hours."

Lin Zheng held the phone in his hand, supporting his forehead which was throbbing with fear, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

How could that woman be so stubborn?

The poison had just been removed from my neck, and the wound hadn't healed completely yet.

He waved to Azhi who came over and Xiaoyu who came running after hearing the noise, saying that everything was fine. Then he sat down again, drank a sip of water, and said to the phone:

"She'll be out soon. If you see her, please tell her I'm looking for her."

"Ok."

……

Lin Zheng didn't expect that he would wait from morning to noon.

It was almost time for dinner, and Lin Zheng didn't want to miss the appointment again, so he decided to take the initiative to go forward.

Afraid that she would run back and forth and miss work, Lin Zheng packed two meals and went to the hospital.

Having been here once before, he was familiar with the route this time. He walked straight through the emergency department and ran towards the building behind.

There were a lot of people on Monday, so Lin Zheng learned his lesson this time and climbed the stairs instead of taking the elevator.

As soon as he climbed to the second floor, he met Wang Qi, whom he had spoken to in the morning.

When Wang Qi saw him, he was stunned at first, and looked at him secretly, then focused his attention on the thermal bag in his hand.

"Well... what a coincidence! There was a patient with a cerebral hemorrhage just now. The situation is urgent and she is in the operating room again."

Wang Qi smiled awkwardly.

Lin Zheng tightened the bag in his hand and said calmly: "It's okay, I'll wait for her in her office."

Wang Qi shrugged. "That's fine. I'll go get busy first. Feel free to do whatever you want."

……

Still in the same old position, Lin Zheng was now standing between two dimly lit offices, feeling quite uncomfortable.

As for surgery, he should know that it is a task that requires the collaboration of multiple people.

She and Xie Yao are partners, there is no reason for him not to be here.

But Lin Zheng always couldn't help but think in that direction.

She wiped Xie Yao's sweat and handed him a knife.

Maybe, my fingers will touch his...

Even though he was definitely wearing gloves, he just couldn't say it was okay...

Lin Zheng's brows were furrowed, and he was confused for a long time, until a young nurse came over and asked him who he was looking for. He then waved his hand and pointed to the office on the right.

After sending the nurse away, afraid of causing trouble for Jingzhi, he quickly pushed the door and walked into her office.

When Lin Zheng's gaze fixed on the sofa next to the computer desk, he was stunned again.

In the right corner of the sofa, a large bouquet of lily of the valley was placed diagonally.

Lin Zheng's eyelids were twitching.

He put down the thermal bag, gritted his teeth, and walked over.

A white greeting card with gold foil was inserted in the gap between the branches.

She is my girlfriend and we are close, so why can't I look at her!

No, even if we are together, she still has her personal privacy and freedom. How can I interfere too much in her social life?

Lin Zheng was torn between his conscience and his desires.

He stretched out his hand several times, but he pulled it back with his clenched fist.

The only people who knew that she liked this kind of flower were generally her close sisters and the two men.

The greeting card was slightly opened at an angle of about ten degrees, and the exposed pen tip was very sharp. It was obvious that it did not look like it was written by a girl.

The most important thing is that he also recognizes Lao Hu's handwriting.

This brushstroke is obviously unfamiliar.

So there is a high probability that Xie Yao gave it to her in the morning.

With this guess, Lin Zheng looked at the bouquet of flowers more and more displeased.

But he couldn't move her things, so he simply pulled a chair, sat with his back to the sofa, and leaned against her desk.

Lin Zheng touched the bag which was still a little hot, and looked at his watch. He didn't know when she would come out.

Eating alone is tasteless.

Lin Zhenggang opened the bag, but was afraid that the heat would escape, so he closed it again silently.

He took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket.

I sent a text message to Azhi and asked about the situation in the store.

Fortunately, after Lao Hu was scolded by him, the flow of people in the store returned to normal.

Azhi and A Bing can handle it for the time being.

Only then did he feel relieved and continued to sit and wait.

I was bored during this time, so I propped up my face with one hand and looked at her workstation.

As I was looking, I suddenly noticed a cell phone placed inconspicuously in the file rack against the wall, with the phone tilted upside down.

It's hers.

Lin Zheng pursed his lips and repeated the words that had just come to his mind.

She has her freedom, he needs to give her some private space...

But that cell phone, like a devil, kept tempting him.

Lin Zheng struggled in his heart for several minutes, and finally stretched out his hand very slowly.

The moment she was about to touch it, her mind suddenly recalled the look she gave her yesterday.

Firm, gentle.

He shouldn't have had any doubts.

Lin Zheng bit his lip, suddenly feeling as if he had done something wrong, and a sense of guilt grew in his heart.

The hand was stretched out and was about to be retracted.

He was startled by the sudden lighting of his cell phone screen and the ringing of its ringtone.

He tilted his head slightly so that his eyes were parallel to the screen and glanced at the first few words of the text message he had just received.

Xiaoyu: Mom, little brother Ren is bullying me again. If Uncle Jiu were still here, he would definitely not...

Nothing, I only read half of the secret and it was really frustrating.

Lin Zheng's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river).

First of all, how did Xiaoyu get a cell phone?

Secondly, who is Uncle Nine?

Nine dads?

Or is it the dad whose name contains the number nine?

Lin Zheng narrowed his eyes, and this time he had no choice but to touch her phone.

After all, Xiaoyu, the zombie, is extremely intelligent and won't easily feel close to a person.

This direct action of calling him dad made him feel a sense of crisis again.

He picked up her phone, first said sorry to the air in front of him, and then unlocked the screen.

Before he could click on Xiaoyu's text message, he was stunned again by the call log interface on the screen, which he had not yet closed.

Who is this [A Shy and Innocent Malaysian]? ?

He called once at 11:35, and Lin Zheng continued to scroll down. He didn't call yesterday, but he talked on the phone the day before yesterday, and the day before that.

Lin Zheng curled his lips in displeasure.

He clicked on the note with his index finger. He wanted to see which wild man was...

Looking at the familiar mobile phone number on the screen, Lin Zheng blinked very slowly.

Suddenly, he heard an awkward cough from inside the room.

This is... just a coincidence.

A capital A, it was very pleasing to him, shyness and innocence, he could accept it, but...

"Malo...what does that mean?"

He was muttering when a voice suddenly rang out from behind him:

"Because you run faster than a monkey on Sunday morning, idiot."

Lin Zheng was so focused that he didn't notice anyone coming in. He was so frightened by the sudden sound that his hands shook and he almost dropped her phone.

"You... are back?" Lin Zheng wanted to put down his phone, but he was anxiously wondering who that "Nineth Dad" was.

Just as I was struggling with the issue, she snatched the phone away and put it into the pocket of her white coat.

"Come and bring me food? Didn't wait too long?"

As she spoke, she took off her mask and went to the sink next to her to wash her hands.

Lin Zheng turned around and stared at her straight. He saw the bouquet of flowers out of the corner of his eye and his mood suddenly became worse.

Seeing her clenching her fists and hitting her lower back from time to time, the negative emotions in his eyes were instantly replaced by heartache.

Lin Zheng took two pieces of paper and came over to help her dry her hands. Then he pulled her to sit on the sofa and let her face away from him.

He massaged her hard waist gently but with a little force.

Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, her body swaying slightly as he massaged her, and she said:

"Why aren't you talking? I was just asking you a question."

Lin Zheng was stunned. He was just feeling jealous and worried about her. It took him a while to remember the question she had just asked.

"I just arrived."

Then he asked, "Nurse Wang, didn't you say you just entered the operating room?"

Jingzhi paused, then chose to tell Lin Zheng the truth:

"Doctor Xie was worried that I wouldn't be able to handle two surgeries right after I recovered, so he temporarily replaced me."

"..."

Lin Zheng was silent.

He didn't know what to say.

From a public perspective, what Xie Yao did was right. After all, human life is at stake.

Personally, even as a friend, his concern for her is within a reasonable range.

If he is still jealous, that would be too much.

However... he felt as if there was a stone blocking his heart, making him inexplicably unhappy.

"Come on, you brought so much, you must not have eaten yet, come with me--"

Jingzhi, who had just walked to the side of the desk, was suddenly hugged from behind by Lin Zheng.

In silence, he subconsciously looked towards the unlocked door.

This is a workplace, and gossip-loving nurses may push the door in at any time.

But the person behind him seemed insecure and held him very tightly.

There was no other way, she could only take him to the door and lock it.

As soon as the door was locked, she was pulled over.

A dark shadow covered her, and Lin Zheng kissed her fiercely and urgently. She was afraid of being discovered by the staff on duty at the nurse station outside, so she didn't dare to make too much noise.

The soft "hmm" squeezed out from the bottom of her throat was her resistance.

Fortunately, Lin Zheng had not completely lost his mind. After there was a knock on the door, he withdrew his lips and tongue in time and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Azhi, why did you lock the door? I was just about to ask you if I could help you bring food to the cafeteria."

Jingzhi rolled her eyes slightly. She thought that she was just bringing lunch, but she really wanted to watch the fun.

She just didn't believe that they didn't see Lin Zheng coming.

"I'm eating, go eat it quickly!"

Jingzhi replied unhappily.

Wang Qi's voice rang out from outside the door again, "Well... always remember that this is a hospital. You must stay calm."

Jingzhi gently hit Lin Zheng on the back.

Although Wang Qi couldn't see it, the shame in her heart grew stronger.

Jingzhi: “…I know.”

……

Jingzhi pushed away Lin Zheng, who was still clinging to her arms, took his hand, walked away from the thin door panel, and sat down in front of the desk.

Jingzhi lowered her voice: "What's wrong with you? I know you are not such a tactless person."

"Xie Yao sent you flowers."

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked, but as soon as she asked, he began to feel inexplicably aggrieved, and his hands on his knees clenched into two big fists in an instant.

Jingzhi turned her head and glanced at the flowers behind him, "Did you look at the greeting card?"

"No." Lin Zheng curled his lips, "I won't touch your things easily."

"...Then you just took my phone." She raised her eyebrows at him and said with a hint of sarcasm.

Lin Zheng opened his mouth and then closed it again in confusion. After several attempts, only one sentence remained: "Zhizhi..."

"Ok?"

"Feeling insecure again?" She leaned forward with a smile, gently lifted his chin, looked directly at him, and explained:

"I confiscated his flowers. He wanted to give them to me this morning, but I refused. He then forced them in. Before I could take them out and throw them away, the hospital called 999."

Lin Zheng also attended medical school, so he understood the meaning of 999.

The depression in my heart has eased a little, but there is still a knot in my stomach.

"It's not just that reason. Just now...Xiaoyu sent you a text message."

Jingzhi was stunned at first, and then a bad premonition arose in her heart.

"Well, I haven't had time to look at it yet." She opened the Velcro on the insulation bag and took out the box inside while saying:

"Eat first, and then—"

“…Who is Father Nine?”

The sudden question made Jingzhi freeze in place.

Damn Xiaoyu!

I shouldn’t have bought you a cell phone. You’ve killed me!
