Had she looked this haggard yesterday, he wouldn’t have been able to take action! He momentarily distracted himself and accidentally pressed the horn. She turned back at the sound, offering a brief glance in his direction.
He vaguely recalled a warm winter moment.
A girl in a light pink nightgown stood on the balcony, her skin like snow and her features striking. Beneath the nightgown, her delicate figure was subtly visible as she stretched her arms, smiling in the sunlight.
“Little one!” he called.
She turned back, leaving him with the sweetest smile. “Senior brother, good morning!”
That old love filled him with unforgettable memories, including his impulsive invasion of her body and the overwhelming pleasure that consumed him. He vividly remembered her arching back, biting her lip, black hair scattered on the seat, tears sliding down her cheeks. Yet, what he recalled most clearly was her sweet smile and warm greeting: “Senior brother, good morning!”
“Dr. Ye, I won’t disturb you from treating patients. Please!” I gestured for him to continue without the need for small talk.
Ye Zhengchen checked his watch. “It’s about time. Let’s have lunch together.”
“Okay!” I replied innocently. “I made plans with Qin Xue.”
“Never mind then! I’ll go back to the lab for coffee.”
“Coffee isn’t good for your stomach!” I sighed, unable to suppress my concern.
“Forget it, I’ll give you the lunch box I brought; it’s in the refrigerator on the second floor of the research room.”
His eyes sparkled with joy. “What about you?”
“I don’t want to eat leftovers. I’ll go to the cafeteria and have a big meal!”
“Thanks!”
…
Sitting alone in the cafeteria, with a bowl of noodle soup in front of me, I missed the mapo tofu and kung pao chicken I had made early that morning.
I picked up a few noodles and chewed them angrily, muttering, “Damn Ye Zhengchen, shameless Ye Zhengchen, playboy Ye Zhengchen…”
A pink lunch box was placed in front of me.
Then an even more familiar person sat down across from me. “You’re chewing me up just for a lunch box?”
I sprayed out the noodles in my mouth.
He handed me a glass of water.
I quickly took a gulp. “How did you get here?”
“Qin Xue just found me.”
“What did she want?”
