When Qin Shi finished his surgery, it was nearly 11 o'clock, and the entire city of Yunzhou was quiet.

Night had fallen by this time, and many people had gone to rest.

He took off his surgical gown, removed his mask, washed his hands, and then dragged his tired body back to his office.

However, as he stepped out of the elevator and turned the corner, the person sitting on the waiting chair in the corridor, nodding his head, came into view.

He stopped in his tracks.

At this time, no one else is visiting the patient; only family members are staying with them in the ward, so the waiting chairs are empty.

At this moment, in the quiet night, in the long, empty corridor, a slender figure leaned softly against the back of a chair and fell asleep.

But these waiting chairs are hard, and it's uncomfortable to sit on them for a long time. It's even more uncomfortable to sleep with your head against the back of the chair like this.

She tried to find a comfortable position and leaned slightly against the back of the chair, but she still couldn't fall asleep soundly. Her body kept subconsciously adjusting, but no matter how she adjusted, she couldn't get into the most comfortable state; it was only slightly better.

And she was holding two insulated containers that she had packed in a canvas bag, hugging them tightly in her arms.

She would wake up as soon as she relaxed even slightly, look around groggily, and once she saw that no one was around, she would lean back and continue to sleep while hugging the thermos.

She was really exhausted.

Qin Shi stood there, looking at the person who was sleeping restlessly and uneasy, yet still tightly clutching the thermos. A surge of heat rose in his heart, burning through his blood...

He walked over quietly, his footsteps light.

Zhou Yi usually goes to bed around 9 pm, no later than 10 pm. This is usually when she is sleeping soundly, so she can still fall asleep at this time, but her sleep is not very restful.

As she fell into a deep sleep, the thermos she was holding unconsciously loosened its grip. She felt it, immediately opened her eyes, still half asleep, and remembered that she was waiting for Qin Shi, so she looked around.

Upon looking, she saw someone walking towards her from her left front.

He was dressed in a pristine white doctor's coat and wore gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze fixed intently on her as she walked steadily toward him.

Zhou Yi was stunned.

Are you done with your work, bro?

Thinking about it, Zhou Yi's consciousness cleared up considerably in an instant. She immediately stood up, holding the thermos, and happily asked, "Brother, is your surgery over?"

Qin Shi looked ahead and stood up. She was still not fully awake, her eyes were blurry. She was smiling at him, smiling very happily, like a child who had received candy, very sweet.

He moved his fingertips slightly, then bent his knuckles slightly, and closed them together, suppressing the rising heat in his heart. He came to her side and looked at her hair, which was messy from sleeping against the back of the chair.

Lots of hair peeked out and tickled her still-childish face.

He raised his hand and gently tucked the stray hairs from her cheek behind her ear.

His fingers were slightly cool and smelled of disinfectant, which made Zhou Yi shiver slightly. However, she quickly said, "Brother, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Eat quickly, or the food will get cold."

As she spoke, she took his hand and led him to the office, very proactively.

In fact, Zhou Yi is usually not very lively, and even a bit distant from Qin Shi.

But now, perhaps he has just woken up, is sleep-deprived, and is still groggy, or perhaps he has been thinking about not having eaten dinner and is worried that the food will get cold and won't taste good, so he has become more active and lively.

Qin Shi's icy hand was instantly grasped by a warm hand, and that soft skin, like a cloud, enveloped him in an instant.

At this moment, his heart was overflowing with passion, which he could no longer suppress. He grasped that soft hand and held it tightly.

Upon arriving at the office, Zhou Yi proactively took out the food from the thermos and arranged it on the desk.

After setting the food out, she looked at the person standing beside her, watching the food without moving, and asked in confusion, "Brother?"

Upon hearing her voice, Qin Shi's gaze flickered, and he hummed in response before sitting down in his office chair and picking up his chopsticks to eat.

Seeing his actions, Zhou Yi thought of something and asked in confusion, "Brother, don't you need to wash your hands?"

Qin Shi was a germaphobe and would always wash his hands before meals, as Zhou Yi knew.

Qin Shi paused slightly, then said, "It's been washed."

"Okay, take your time eating. I'll wait until you're finished before I go back."

"Okay, let's go back together."

"it is good."

Zhou Yi smiled and sat down in the chair next to him to watch him eat.

But gradually, worry appeared in her eyes.

The medical profession is exploitative.

She thought that she would spend more time cooking for her brother in the future, making nutritious meals to help him recover.

Qin Shi finished all the food that Zhou Yi brought. Zhou Yi was worried that some of the dishes might not suit his taste, but to his surprise, he ate them all and left nothing.

Zhou Yi noted down the dishes she had made that day, then went to wash the thermos and went back with Qin Shi.

Qin Shi and she lived in the same old neighborhood, just on different floors; Qin Shi lived on the third floor, and she lived on the fifth floor.

It's a bit far from the hospital to the neighborhood, but Qin Shi drives, and since it's past 11 a.m., there aren't many cars on the road, so it only takes about ten minutes.

Qin Shi escorted Zhou Yi to the fifth floor and watched her enter the house. He said, "Grandma's check-up is coming up soon. When do you have time? I'll go back with you and take Grandma for her check-up."

As elderly people age, unexpected events can occur, so they need to undergo a thorough physical examination at certain times.

Zhou Yi knew this and had always remembered it.

Hearing Qin Shi's words, Zhou Yi was slightly surprised and then said, "Grandma's checkup is still about a month away. I'm thinking of going back two days before Grandma's checkup. I plan to take five days off."

Zhou Yi quickly said, "Brother, you don't need to come back with me. I can manage on my own. I'll tell you the details when I take Grandma to the hospital. We can talk on the phone."

Every month, she would get medicine for her grandmother and show her medical records to her brother. He would tell her how to use the medicine, what to pay attention to, and about her diet. All of this was enough to exhaust his mind. He couldn't be allowed to go back with her anymore.

"It's nothing, I just need to go over there to take care of something."

So that's how it is. She thought her brother was going back with her on purpose, but that won't do.

Now that her brother has said this, Zhou Yi is relieved.

However, she quickly thought of a problem and said, "But when exactly do you need to deal with this, brother? Is it during the two days when Grandma has her check-up? Won't that take up too much of your time?"

“If it delays you, you go ahead and do your thing. I’ll take Grandma to the hospital. We can talk about it over the phone, it’s the same thing.”

"No delay."

Zhou Yi smiled for a moment: "Okay, I'll tell the boss about my leave request tomorrow, and I'll let you know when the time is confirmed."

"Ah."

Having said what he needed to say, Zhou Yi waved to Qin Shi: "Goodnight, brother."

Qin Shi stood at the door, looking at her sweet smile, and said, "Goodnight."

The door closed, and all was silent.

Qin Shi stood there, looking at the closed door, his fingers clenching tightly, and his eyes behind his glasses were extremely deep and intense at that moment.
