supermarket……

Wutong looked at the obviously ill-fitting slippers on her feet, the T-shirt that was almost covering her knees, and her period that could come at any moment, and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll go change."

"Aren't you going to eat anything else?"

"No."

Wutong returned to her room and put on the red dress that had already been washed. Her hair, which had been messed up by the storm, was trimmed back to shoulder length by the nurses at the hospital to make it easier to receive IV fluids.

Now, with the shawl hanging down his back, he has a bit of an L&B vibe.

She finished tidying up and waited in the room for a while. When she came out, Dr. Su had already finished eating and put the dishes in the dishwasher. She asked, "Shall we go out now?"

Wutong hummed in agreement, walked to the door, and asked, "Can I borrow five hundred yuan from you first? I'll definitely pay you back in the future. If not, I'll give you an IOU."

Dr. Su was changing her shoes when she heard this and chuckled.

"Are you kidding me? I may not be rich, but I can still support you. Just eat my food and use my things for now, don't feel guilty."

"But……"

"If you say that again, I won't help you."

Wutong had no choice but to shut up.

Dr. Su opened the door and said, "That's a good girl."

good?

What is their relationship? How can you use such words so carelessly...?

Wutong felt awkward from the bottom of her heart, but if she asked him about it, it would seem like she was being heartless, so she could only keep her mouth shut and follow him out.

While waiting for the elevator, a neighbor came out and greeted Dr. Su warmly, pointing to the sycamore tree and asking, "Su, is this your girlfriend? She's really pretty."

Dr. Su smiled without saying a word, and Wutong awkwardly turned her face to the other side, which, in the eyes of the neighbors, looked like she was shy.

She took her hand and praised, "Girl, you are so lucky! Su is the youngest, most promising and handsome guy in our district. He not only has a good job, but he is also a very good person. He often provides free medical care to everyone. You are so lucky to have found him."

Wutong withdrew her hand embarrassedly and explained, "I'm not his girlfriend."

The neighbor, however, didn't believe her and said with a laugh, "Don't be shy, everyone goes through that phase. Auntie has to go home to cook for her grandson now. You two should come visit Auntie's house more often."

Wutong was about to explain when Dr. Su stepped forward to stop her, nodding to her and saying, "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

The neighbor walked away with a grin, leaving the two of them standing at the elevator door.

Wutong turned around speechlessly, wanting to ask him what he meant, but Dr. Su turned and entered the elevator, blocking the door and saying, "Hurry up and come in, or it will close."

She walked in, holding her breath, feeling that he was doing it on purpose.

Not only is her job good, but she's also a really nice person...

While riding the elevator, the neighbor's praise for Dr. Su still echoed in my ears, as if finding him as a boyfriend was like finding a treasure.

Wutong had met many promising and kind-hearted men in her life, but Dr. Su gave her a different feeling than any of them.

He was like a wolf hiding under a sheep's skin; although he made all sorts of well-intentioned gestures, he would still inadvertently reveal a little bit of his tail when he turned around.

Whether he's a wolf or a sheep doesn't matter; what matters is that she needs to rescue Duan Fufeng through him.

Wutong glanced at Dr. Su, said nothing, and silently suppressed her feelings.

Everyone has secrets; who doesn't live behind a mask?

As long as the goal is achieved, that's fine.

After exiting the elevator, Dr. Su drove Wutong to a nearby large supermarket.

The store was fully stocked with all kinds of goods. Wutong bought all sorts of essential items and filled a large bag to the brim.

Since she had no money, Dr. Su paid the bill. After getting into the car, she held out her hand and said, "Let me see the ticket."

"doing what?"

"have a look."

Dr. Su glanced at her. "You want to pay me back in the future, don't you? There's really no need. If you really want to repay me, just tell me about the world over there."

"The world over there? There's nothing to say about it." Wutong looked out the car window at the dazzling city lights and the bustling crowds, and said, "It's far inferior to this place."

Even the most prosperous Lingyun Prefecture and Pingzhou are not half as lively as this place at night, not to mention the various entertainment and technology.

Dr. Su smiled.

“I don’t want you to compare, just tell me about it… That girl once told me about the situation there, but I was distracted at the time and didn’t remember what she said at all. Now, thinking back on it, I still feel guilty.”

Wutong turned around in surprise and saw his sorrowful smile. Touched, she cleared her throat and said, "Then let me tell you. What do you want to know?"

What did you do every day back then?

What do they do? Lead troops into battle, handle government affairs... But if they say those things, they'll give themselves away.

Wutong thought back carefully and realized that her most normal life was still in Yuemen Pass, so she began to tell the story, half-truthfully and half-jokingly.

"The sandstorms there are very strong, and the weather is extremely dry. The thing I do most every day is clean..."

She talked on and on for a long time, and finally said, "My father also gave me a horse, which I named Fufu. Unfortunately, after one of my fathers went on a long trip, he died, and Fufu disappeared. I have never seen it since."

"You have horses at home?" Dr. Su asked, quite surprised.

"Ah."

"Why are there horses? For war?"

"No, use it as a cow."

Dr. Su was skeptical, but stared intently into her eyes.

Wutong asked, "What's wrong?"

Dr. Su didn't speak, but slowly raised her hand and brushed her cheek with her fingertips.

Wutong abruptly turned her face away, asking in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Dr. Su quickly withdrew her hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I mistook you for her... I'm sorry."

He apologized repeatedly and then stepped on the gas to drive off.

Wutong huddled in the corner of the passenger seat, covering her cheek where he had brushed against her, and suddenly asked, "Do you like that girl?"

Dr. Su paused breathing for a few seconds, then gave a wry smile.

"You saw it."

No wonder...

If he had loved the other person, his behavior could be explained.

Even so, Wutong still reminded herself in her heart that she had to be more wary of him in the future.

She only wanted to rescue Duan Fufeng and leave quickly; she had no interest in spending time with a strange man.

The days that followed seemed to fall into a certain pattern. Dr. Su went to work every morning and didn't return until evening, while Wutong would clean the house, cook dinner, and wait for him to bring back news of Duan Fufeng.

Dr. Su had told her not to overwork herself, as he had a part-time helper available every week, but Wutong was free anyway, so he just let her do as she pleased.

One day, while cleaning the TV cabinet, Wutong found a large stack of documents in the drawer and sorted them into file folders. She inadvertently discovered Dr. Su's degree certificate among them; he was currently an internist at the hospital, and the certificate showed his major as clinical medicine, which seemed normal. However, Wutong also found another degree certificate, this time in psychology.

Both certificates bear Dr. Su's name. Did he pursue a double degree in college?

Why didn't he choose to become a psychologist?
