The Veterinarian (1v1) (H) - 16
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."

He's sometimes pushy tbh but he's still a gentleman actually
ReplyDeleteWhen compared to similar pushy men though 💀
DeleteI like him. He’s certainly assertive but he clearly wants to protect and help her.
