Beijing Colors Lingering

The main hall of the Cheng family's old residence.

Ji Yan nodded to Cheng Su and Kang Yiqi and greeted them politely: "Grandpa Cheng, Grandma Cheng, I haven't visited you in a long time, I'm really ashamed."

After he finished speaking, he handed the gift in his hand to the servant.

Every time Ji Yan visits the Cheng family's old residence, he feels a little touched.

He had lived here with his mother for several years, and the Cheng family treated them both very well.

They even helped him in his studies and career.

Cheng Su waved his hand dismissively and said, "We know you're busy with work. Young people should focus on their careers."

In Cheng Su's mind, Ji Yan has always been a good child with ambition.

The Party Secretary of the First People's Hospital of Beijing told him that Ji Yan not only has extremely high talent in the medical field, but is also very hardworking and down-to-earth, and has a benevolent heart to heal the sick and a pair of skillful hands to save lives.

Cheng Su used to think that Ji Yan and Sui Sui were a good match, and he probably wouldn't object if they were together.

Cheng Su did not have an absolutely strict concept of social class, and Ji Yan was very capable. He skipped grades during his studies and was eventually recommended to the Department of Medicine at Peking University.

Later, he also achieved great success in medicine, so his future was naturally very promising.

However, they are just friends.

Sui Sui had no romantic feelings for Ji Yan, and Ji Yan seemed to regard Sui Sui only as a friend, or perhaps a younger sister.

Therefore, Cheng Su never had any similar thoughts again.

Kang Yiqi looked at Ji Yan and said with a kind expression, "You young people should focus on your careers."

She has always liked this child very much; he is a very steady and honest person.

Next, Ji Yan chatted with Cheng Su and Kang Yiqi.

Cheng Su knew they were going to the hospital to visit Ji Yan's mother, so he didn't talk to Ji Yan for too long.

Ji Yan's mother was a great benefactor to the Cheng family, so it was only natural for her to visit her in the hospital every year.

Not long after, Ji Yan drove Shen Jinsui to Huaheng Hospital.

-

After arriving at the hospital, Ji Yan and Shen Jinsui went to the ward to visit Aunt Ji.

After a while, Ji Yan went to the office of Aunt Ji's attending physician, Ying Wenjun, while Shen Jinsui remained in the ward.

In the office, Ji Yan carefully reviewed all of his mother's recent medical reports, and then discussed his mother's condition with Ying Wenjun.

Ying Wenjun knew that Ji Yan was a neurosurgeon at the First People's Hospital of Beijing. Among the young doctors, he was not only talented and skilled, but also hardworking and humble.

Whether as a colleague or an elder, Ying Wenjun admires him greatly.

Ying Wenjun would be happy to see him work at Huaheng Hospital in the future.

About half an hour later, Ji Yan returned to the ward.

Shen Jinsui stood up, looked at Ji Yan, and asked, "How is Aunt Ji doing now?"

Ji Yan slowly said, "Dr. Ying said that Mom's condition is stable, her brain function is well preserved, and there is still a possibility of her waking up."

Shen Jinsui nodded slightly upon hearing this. She learned about successful cases of patients who had been in a vegetative state for six or even fifteen years waking up.

Ji Yan glanced at his watch and then suggested to Shen Jinsui, "Sui Sui, are you free tonight? How about we have dinner together?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jinsui glanced at her phone screen and was about to reply when a message popped up on the screen.

After unlocking her phone, Shen Jinsui opened WeChat and saw a message from Zhou Yancong.

Are you still in the hospital?

Then, Shen Jinsui looked up at Ji Yan and shook her head slightly, "I'm sorry, I already made plans with a friend to have dinner with him tonight."

"It's alright, we can have dinner together next time." Ji Yan's lips curved slightly, his expression gentle, and his voice clear and melodious.

However, a fleeting, almost imperceptible hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

Shen Jinsui smiled faintly and nodded in reply, "Okay."

After saying that, she unlocked her phone and typed a reply to Zhou Yancong's message: "Yes, I'm still in the hospital."

The next second, Zhou Yancong sent a message: [I'm on my way, I'll arrive at the hospital entrance in about fifteen minutes.]

Shen Jinsui: [Okay.]

A moment later, Ji Yan asked her, "Sui Sui, where are you going to eat tonight? I'll drive you."

Shen Jinsui turned off her phone screen, looked up at him and shook her head, explaining, "You don't need to see me off, my friend will pick me up later."

"it is good."

About ten minutes later, Shen Jinsui looked at Ji Yan and said, "I'm leaving now."

Ji Yan quickly said, "I'm going home now too, we can go out together."

“Okay.” Shen Jinsui did not refuse and walked out of the ward with him.

After Shen Jinsui and Ji Yan left Huaheng Private Hospital, they stood under a towering tree.

She glanced ahead; Zhou Yancong hadn't arrived yet.

Ji Yan asked, "When will your friend arrive?"

Shen Jinsui glanced at her phone screen. "It might take a few more minutes."

At this time, traffic is just starting to get congested, so Shen Jinsui didn't plan to send a message to urge Zhou Yancong.

Ji Yan nodded slightly. "Are you settling in well at work in Nebula?"

“The work atmosphere is great, and it’s also a job I like,” Shen Jinsui replied, her voice soft and clear.

"That's good." Ji Yan nodded.

"Ah."

At that moment, Shen Jinsui's phone vibrated a few times in her palm.

After she unlocked the app, she checked the messages in the work group.

Ji Yan lowered his eyes and stared at Shen Jinsui, just in time to see the smooth lines of her face.

Her slightly upturned, round fox-like eyes were clear and lively, and her bright and beautiful face also had a girlish innocence.

At this moment, the warm, dappled sunlight filtered through the branches and fell on her long, glossy black hair, making her bright blue eyes sparkle like stars.

Several years have passed, and the little girl who used to call him Brother Ji Yan has grown into a young adult.

Ji Yan was suddenly lost in thought, and subconsciously slowly raised his hand, wanting to gently touch the top of her head as he used to.

He quickly realized his inappropriate behavior and casually straightened his collar.

Shen Jinsui noticed Ji Yan's gaze, turned off her phone screen, and then looked up at him.

Seeing that he looked thoughtful, Shen Jinsui asked curiously, "Ji Yan, what are you thinking about?"

Ji Yan replied calmly, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about the surgery next Monday."

Shen Jinsui didn't think much of it after hearing it, but then she remembered the message He Zhenzhen sent at noon that day, asking her to find some time to ask Ji Yan for his opinion on her.

After careful consideration, Shen Jinsui finally spoke up: "Did Zhenzhen chat with you?"

"Ah."

"Then what do you think of her?"

Ji Yan understood what Shen Jinsui meant. After thinking for a moment, he pursed his lips, a faint smile appearing on his face, and said gently, "She is a very lovely girl. I wish I had a younger sister like her."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jinsui realized that Ji Yan had no feelings for He Zhenzhen.

She wasn't surprised by this.

Ji Yan continued to focus all his energy on his work, just like before, and didn't think about matters of the heart.

After a moment, Shen Jinsui's lips curved into a smile, her eyebrows carrying a faint hint of amusement. "Yes, Zhenzhen is indeed very cute."

Not far from them, a few minutes earlier, a Rolls-Royce Phantom Skywalker slowly came to a stop.

Immediately afterwards, the rear window slowly rolled down.

Zhou Yancong wore a pair of black sunglasses on his high nose bridge, his arm casually draped over the car window, his deep gaze looking ahead through the lenses.

The moment Zhou Yancong saw Shen Jinsui's graceful figure, he felt instantly at ease.

Su Yuxin approached Shen Jinsui that day with a bottle of medicine powder.

After examining the bottle of powder, Zhou Yancong's men told him it was a potent aphrodisiac.

Thinking about this, Zhou Yancong felt a lingering fear.

He couldn't imagine what he would do if something had happened to Shen Jinsui that day.

With such malicious intentions, Zhou Yancong naturally wouldn't let Su Yuxin off the hook; he had to make her suffer the consequences of her actions.

Therefore, she will never appear in front of Shen Jinsui again.

Then, Zhou Yancong noticed the man standing in front of Shen Jinsui.

If Zhou Yancong wasn't mistaken, the man was trying to reach out and touch Shen Jinsui's hair.

At this moment, the two were having a pleasant conversation.

Shen Jinsui even flashed a bright smile at that man, which Zhou Yancong found extremely offensive.

Who is that man to Shen Jinsui?

Is he a friend Shen Jinsui has known for a long time?

At that moment, Zhou Yancong's deep, dark eyes rippled slightly, and he pursed his lips. This usually calm and composed man was stirred by a scene not far away.
