    Chapter Index

    Shen An threw the fishy-smelling underwear into the trash can.

    He chewed on his cigarette and turned on his phone. WeChat was once again filled with red unread messages, except for the column at the top, which was empty and without any messages.

    He licked the tips of his teeth and smiled a little.

    He’s biological clock has always been accurate, and he gets up on time at half past six every day, but today due to some… force majeure, he was half an hour late.

    It was already 7:13 when he came out of the shower. Shen An changed his clothes and went to the bun shop to buy breakfast. The proprietress saw him coming and diligently cleared the table for him.

    Shen An raised his hand and said, “Pack it.”

    “Where’s your girlfriend? Haven’t you found her yet?” the landlady asked while packing. “I know a girl, she’s pretty, two years younger than you, she works as a clerk, she works just a street over. If you think it’s okay, I’ll wait for her to come later, and I’ll ask her for her number.”

    A group of young girls buying buns nearby all secretly looked at Shen An.

    Shen An had long been used to it, and raised his eyebrows and said, “No, I’ve found it.”

    “You’re tricking me, right?” The landlady put two more tea eggs into the bag for him, tied the bag before handing it to him, “I asked you last time, and you said you found it. Where is the person? When will you bring him to have a look.”

    Shen An paid the money, raised his eyebrows and smiled, “In a few days.”

    “Really?” The landlady was dubious and said with a smile, “Then I’ll be waiting.”

    As soon as Shen An entered the clinic, Tan Yuanyuan covered her face and said shyly, “Brother An, you are so handsome today!”

    Shen An was noncommittal, put his breakfast on the table, looked at his watch, and then walked to the front desk to look at last night’s duty record.

    Miao Zhanpeng washed his face and came out. When he saw Shen An, he asked, “Brother An, are you going out today?”

    Shen An pointed his finger and said, “Well, what’s wrong?”

    “No, you are dressed differently today than usual.” Miao Zhanpeng pointed his thumb at him, “He is more handsome than a model.”

    Tan Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide, “Where are you going? Are there any big customers today?”

    “It’s none of your business.” Shen An picked up the appointment form and said to her, “Give me two hours at noon. During the other time, you can make a new appointment with the guest.”

    “Okay.” Tan Yuanyuan was serious for less than two seconds, then she stretched her head and asked, “Brother An, where are you going at noon?”

    Shen An knocked on the table, “It’s working time now.”

    Tan Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue, “Oh.”

    In the morning, a female customer brought a dozen small black snakes. Tan Yuanyuan was okay with all the animals, but she couldn’t accept rats and snakes. Fortunately, she only had to register and did not need to have close contact with these “cute pets”.

    After the guests left, she complained to Shen An, “Thirteen snakes, she can actually tell who is who, and even gave them a string of English names!”

    Shen An ignored her.

    After he washed his hands, he took out his mobile phone to read the WeChat messages. When he came over in the morning, he sent a message to Baili and asked her what she planned to treat him to for lunch.

    However, Baili’s dialog box was empty, and she didn’t reply to a single message.

    A guest came in at the door, and Tan Yuanyuan was busy registering. Shen An made a gesture to Tan Yuanyuan, entered the office with his mobile phone, and dialed Bai Li.

    As soon as the call was connected, I heard Baili’s soft cry covering her mouth from the other end, “…how long will it take you to arrive…I’m so scared…”

    Shen An’s eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, “What’s wrong?”

    Bai Li cried for a while, and then she probably realized that she had accidentally answered Shen An’s call. She didn’t speak for a while, only sobbing a few times.

    There was a violent knock on the door on the other end of the receiver, accompanied by the man’s roar, “What a psycho! I know you’re in there! Open the door and get out!”

    The sound gradually weakened, and it must have been Bai Li who covered the receiver.

    Shen An took off his white coat and went to the table to get the motorcycle keys, “Send me the address and I’ll go there now.”

    “No need…my friend will be here soon.” Baili’s voice had a heavy nasal sound.

    “Bai Li!” Shen An got angry. He suppressed his anger and said patiently to her, “Give me the address and I will drive them away. Don’t let him hurt you. You are obedient and stay in the room.”

    Bai Li sobbed again before saying, “Okay.”

    When Shen An rushed out, he even forgot to take his helmet. All he could think about was Bai Li hiding alone in the room, covering her mouth and crying, feeling aggrieved and helpless.

    It’s going to kill him. He wants to fly to her now.
