Chapter 16 - Is that okay?

Tan Yuanyuan stayed.

 

She didn't resign. When she got to the office, she apologized to Shen An seriously, but her eyes were very red.

 

Shen An asked her to go home and rest and come back to work tomorrow. She shook her head and said it was okay, because there were many clients tonight and she was afraid that Shen An would be too busy.

 

The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the clinic will have a day off, but Shen An never took a holiday off. He has nowhere to go, so his original plan was to stay at the clinic until six o'clock in the evening and then go to the gym to play badminton after dinner.

 

But now, he has other plans.

 

After Miao Zhanpeng came over, Shen An stayed for two more hours. The clients who made appointments at noon were rescheduled at eight o'clock in the evening. Some of them came late, so he waited for an extra half hour.

 

By the time he came out after finishing his work, it was already 9:10 pm.

 

He looked at his phone. Ever since he sent that voice message, Bai Li had never replied.

 

He put on his earphones and called Bai Li while running in the direction of Dongxin Community. No one answered the first time or the second time.

 

He persisted until the fourth time, when Bai Li finally picked up.

 

"Have you eaten?" he asked.

 

His voice in the receiver was particularly magnetic. Bai Li rubbed her numb ears and said in a low voice, "...Hmm."

 

"What were you doing just now?"

 

“…applying medicine to the cat.”

 

Another call came on his phone. Shen An glanced at the call note displayed on his watch and said to Bai Li, "I'll have to take this call."

 

It's from Ten Thousand Arms.

 

Invite him to dinner tomorrow night and tell him that Hu San will also be there.

 

Shen An understood and said, "Brother Wan, sorry to trouble you. I’ll be there on time tomorrow."

 

He didn't call Bai Li back, and ran for more than 20 minutes to the bottom of the 20th building in Dongxin Community, and then decided to call Bai Li.

 

The weather was hot, and he had been running for so long. He was covered in sweat, and his voice was breathy when he spoke, "I'm downstairs at your house."

 

Bai Li was stunned and asked in a panic, "...Why, why?"

 

Shen An chuckled, "Why do you think?”

 

"I... I don't know..." Bai Li walked to the kitchen window in a panic, looked down, and sure enough, she saw someone standing in the darkness.

 

"Are you going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Shen An took out the cigarette, lit it, and breathed out slowly.

 

"No, I won't go back." Bai Li said softly.

 

"Then, I'll take you out.” He chewed on his cigarette, his voice was vague and hoarse, but it was particularly charming.

 

"No, no, I'm not going out." Bai Li's ears were itchy and her voice trembled a little.

 

"I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow." Shen An chuckled, ignoring her refusal, chewing on his cigarette, and said in a low, dumb voice, "Do you have water? I'm thirsty."

 

Bai Li could understand the tone of his words. He clearly wanted her to come down and meet him.

 

She bit her lip, so nervous that the pores all over her body exploded, "...I...I'll put it at the door, you can take it yourself."

 

A laugh escaped from Shen An's throat, "Okay."

  

After saying that, he strode to the third floor. Bai Li was not as fast as him. She always drank cold water. She poured a glass of water. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a man standing at the door of her house. She was so frightened that she stepped back and screamed softly.

 

Naturally, she didn't wear a hat, sunglasses or mask at home. Her fair face was completely exposed in front of the man, and her beautiful eyes widened in fear, with black and white pupils inside, clean and clear.

 

Wearing home clothes, pure white long-sleeved trousers, her long black hair is draped over her shoulders, making her palm-sized face even more attractive.

 

However, Shen An just stood there without moving, looking at her with a smile in his eyes, "Water, give it to me."

 

Bai Li’s and was shaking so much that when she handed it over, the back of her hand was covered with water.

 

She lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at him. Shen An took the glass of water and drank it in two gulps, and held her hand when he returned the glass to her.

 

Bai Li’s body trembled, and she looked at him in fear, her eyes panicked and helpless.

 

Shen An let go in time, "I'm leaving, please close the door."

 

He took a few steps back and took the initiative to close the door. Then he leaned against the door and knocked lightly, "Is it locked?"

 

There was a noise from inside the door, and then Bai Li's soft voice came, "...Hmm."

 

"Then I'm leaving." After Shen An finished speaking, he leaned against the door quietly and listened for a while. It wasn't until he heard Bai Li's tiny "hmm" that he turned around and walked out.

 

He ran back and parked his bike in front of the clinic.

 

The moment he got on the motorcycle, he thought of Bai Li's resisting and frightened eyes, which made him feel a little distressed for no reason.

 

He didn't know what Bai Li had went through before. He only knew that this was the first time he wanted to hug her urgently and longingly.

 

He wants to drive away her fear and anxiety. He wants her eyes to be filled only with happiness.

 

After returning home and taking a shower, he stood on the balcony, smoking, moving the flowers from the living room to the balcony to get some air, and then watered the flowers.

 

The flowers are wilted and the leaves are drooping.

 

He took a photo and sent it to Bai Li and asked her: ["Does it look like you?" 

 

Bai Li replied after a long while: [...Where does it look like? 

 

Shen An sent a message, his low voice was filled with laughter, the laughter was hoarse and had a pleasant texture.

 

"They all like to keep their heads down."

 

Bai Li blushed and received another photo from Shen An. He was holding a leaf with his long knuckles, followed closely by a voice message.

 

When Bai Li opened it, she heard a dark and magnetic voice falling on her ears, which was so intoxicating.

 

"I'm holding hands with it."

 

Bai Li's face suddenly turned red. One second he said the flower looked like her, and the next second he said he was holding hands with the flower. The subtext was... holding hands with her.

 

"Is that okay?" he asked.

 

Bai Li’s head was so hot that she didn't understand at all whether he was asking about the flowers or herself.

 

But she replied with trembling fingers: [Okay. 

 

Shen An spoke again, his voice pleasant and low, making Bai Li’s ears numb and itchy.

 

"Remember what you said."
