    After Shen An finished eating, he received another call from Tan Yuanyuan.

    He had an appointment for surgery in the afternoon. The customer asked him to do it and was unwilling to change the time. Tan Yuanyuan had to call to ask when he would be finished.

    Shen An glanced at his watch, “In half an hour.”

    Bai Li pursed her lips and sipped the milk. Shen An didn’t know what she liked to drink, so she bought seven or eight different drinks. When she saw that she picked hot milk, she knew what she wanted and put the other cold drinks aside.

    She drank the milk, wiped her mouth, and put on her mask and sunglasses again.

    Shen An pulled up her hat for her, patted her head gently, and said with a tenderness that he didn’t realize he had, “I’ll take you back.”

    Bai Li refused in a low voice, “…No need.”

    Shen An didn’t mean to solicit at all. He clasped her wrist and led her out, holding a large bag of unfinished cold drinks in his hand.

    Bai Li was too weak to struggle away, and her voice was as quiet as a mosquito, “Shen… I can… walk by myself.”

    Shen An stopped, turned around and looked at her, but didn’t let go, just asked, “What did you call me?”

    Bai Li lowered her head, not daring to speak out.

    With a smile in his eyes, he asked again, “What did you just call me? Call me again and I will let go.”

    She’s ears suddenly felt hot, and her voice trembled, “Doctor Shen…”

    The little girl’s voice was soft and fell in his ears, making his internal organs feel indescribably happy. He let go of her wrist, moved his knuckles down a few points, and grabbed her hand.

    Bai Li was startled and her whole body froze.

    “Can I be held like this?” he asked.

    Bai Li was confused, and her body was shaking terribly. She subconsciously pulled her hand back, but she couldn’t. The man’s strength was neither light nor heavy, but he held her tightly.

    “If you don’t like it, just say it.” He’s voice was low, but it was full of confusion, “Can I hold you like this?”

    Bai Li’s face turned red, she shook her arms and pulled back, her voice was soft and small, and still trembling, “No… no…”

    “Okay?” Shen An deliberately pretended not to hear the word ‘no’ in front of her, holding her hand and walking forward.

    Baili’s whole body felt like it had been boiled by boiling water, and her neck and ears were burning. She pulled back hard, her voice anxious and crying, “Shen…doctor, let go…”

    Shen An squeezed the soft hand and gently let go of her.

    He turned around and gently rubbed her face with his fingertips through the mask, “Are you crying?”

    Bai Li lowered her head and shook her head lightly.

    “Hate me?” he asked again.

    Baili’s body was still in a tense state of being held by He, tense and uneasy. When He asked this question, she subconsciously looked up at He in panic. When she saw He’s dark eyes, she lowered her head in panic. After a moment, she shook her head slightly.

    “Okay, I get it.” Shen An raised the corners of his lips lightly and took She to take a taxi at the intersection.

    This time he did not sit in the passenger seat, but sat next to Baili.

    Baili looked out the window the whole time, not daring to look at he at all.

    Shen An looked at her nervously wringing her fingers and called her in a low voice, “White pear.”

    Bai Li shrank her shoulders slightly and turned her head very lightly, but her eyes were lowered, still not daring to look at he through her sunglasses.

    “I listened to the playlist you shared.” He deliberately eased her tension and started singing without warning, “I have crossed mountains, rivers and seas, and also passed through mountains and seas of people… Sorry, it’s out of tune.”

    Bai Li was stunned for a moment, and only later did she realize that he was making her laugh.

    She turned her face to look out the window, bit her lip and smiled softly, and her twisted fingers stretched involuntarily.

    After getting off the car, Shen An walked her to the door. Before leaving, she patted her on the head through her sweater and hat, “I’m leaving.”

    Baili waited for he to leave, then touched the top of her head in slow motion.

    She took off her mask and sunglasses, and when she walked to the bathroom, she saw herself in the mirror, her face flushed as red as fire.

    She turned on the faucet and quickly splashed water on her face.

    Her fingers accidentally touched the swelling on her forehead. She took a deep breath. When she raised her head and looked in the mirror, the scene of the man lowering his head and getting closer came to mind for no apparent reason. He opened his thin lips slightly and let out a warm breath.

    She covered her face and even closed her eyes tightly in shame.

    Shen An walked to the door of Room 202 on the second floor and took a photo. After going downstairs, he got on his motorcycle and returned to the clinic.

    Several guests were waiting for him. He put a bag of cold drinks on the table, left one for Tan Yuanyuan, and distributed the rest to several guests.

    He put on a white coat, washed his hands and disinfected, and after working in the operating room and diagnosis room for more than an hour, he finally had time to take a drink of water and rest.

    He sat on the sofa in the lobby and stretched his shoulders and neck. He took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat. His eyes fell on the top column and he suddenly discovered that Baili had transferred 5,000 yuan to him.

    There was also a sentence on it: [Sorry, I made you go to the police station and fined you. I hope you will accept the money.】

    he pressed return.

    Then he pressed the voice button and said, “Change to something else, free of charge.”

    Because he had been busy for more than an hour and didn’t speak much, his voice was slightly hoarse. Baili on the other end of the phone felt his ears burning. He replied after a while: […What do you want?】

    Shen An twitched the corners of his lips and spoke again.

    Bai Li bit her lip and opened it gently. A man’s hoarse voice came from the receiver:

    “Next time you hold hands, don’t refuse me.”
