Chapter Four

Fortunately, no matter how expensive the car is, the price of a tank of gas is almost the same. Su Tang can still afford this amount of money. Su Tang inserted the car key back into the keyhole under the steering wheel. Shen Yi still showed no intention of getting out of the car. He took a leather document bag from below the windshield and handed it to her.

ーーYou can hear some before the age of three.

Among these characters, whose voice sounds the best?

Shen Yi leaned his body to the side and looked at her seriously.

Shen Yi is also persevering.

No need, no need... The transportation around here is quite convenient. I can just take the subway.

Shen Yi seemed to have not gone to bed. The printer in the study has been rustling. Su Tang did not disturb him either. After finding the car key under the broccoli in the refrigerator's vegetable box, she went back to the living room to watch TV. She watched until six o'clock, then went to the guest room to freshen up and change clothes. When she came out, it was exactly half past six, and Shen Yi appeared in the living room dressed neatly.

Su Tang hurriedly rolled down the car window and shouted out, only to realize that even if she shouted until her voice was hoarse, he would not turn back.

Shen Yi straightened his body by supporting the seat cushion, smiled apologetically, raised his hand to tidy up his messy hair on the backrest of the seat, and Su Tang handed him the car keys. However, Shen Yi did not reach out to take them, but took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Shen Yi smiled helplessly and nodded gently.

Fortunately, he only saw her in the sanatorium. If it were true that they grew up together like Lao Chen said, her student days would definitely be overshadowed by his academic excellence.

Su Tang spoke sincerely, and Shen Yi did not hide the hiding place of the key anymore.

Shen Yihao easily held back his laughter, but couldn't hide the deep laughter in his eyes. He moved his phone closer to Su Tang and typed out the message word by word to show her.

Shen Yi nodded and walked over to sit down on the sofa next to her, with a faint trace of fatigue in his smile.

Su Tang wailed with a black face, clenched his fist, and pounded the shoulder of the person who was laughing on the sofa again, "Didn't you say your Chinese is not good!"

Su Tang unbuckled her seatbelt and turned her head to let the person sitting in the passenger seat see her lips. "We have arrived, go back to the ward and rest."

At 9 o'clock, gather for registration, then proceed one by one in alphabetical order of surnames. If each person takes five minutes, it will be at least 11 o'clock before it's my turn.

There is no trace of a second person living in Shen Yi's home, although the bathrobe has been cut off, it is still obviously brand new, and there is still a slight discomfort typical of new clothes when worn close to the body.

First, one must endure hardships and cultivate determination, exert physical and mental efforts, deprive oneself of food and rest, and disrupt one's established ways. This is to stimulate the mind, cultivate patience, and enhance one's abilities. It seems that our ancestors have said something like this.

Shen Yi nodded with a smile.

If you drive the car away, it will increase the difficulty of my escaping from the hospital again.

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment.

华正离这里有点远 , 开车去吧。 Translation: Huazheng is a bit far from here, let's go by car.

This reason is worth considering, but it cannot withstand scrutiny. Su Tang was just a little shaken, and he caught the logical loophole in it. "I drove your car away, you can still take a taxi. It's so convenient to take a taxi at the hospital entrance. Why is it difficult?"

Su Tang took it over in a daze, but before she could unwind all the white lines on the document bag, Shen Yi had already gotten off the car and left.

Shen Yi nodded slightly, looking at her with some anticipation.

Shen Yi stopped coughing under Su Tang's sharp gaze, restrained a bit of laughter, and earnestly typed.

This evaluation is too high. I don't have such great ambitions, nor have I suffered so much. But still, thank you for caring about me.

I have been studying in the United States. My Chinese is really not good, so I am still learning. I just saw this sentence on TV and thought it was well said, so I remembered it.

This program has no subtitles. Su Tang stared at the screen for over a minute while the commentator's mouth didn't stop for a second. Su Tang couldn't recognize a single word and felt increasingly frustrated. She had no choice but to turn down the volume and officially give up.

Then you should go to sleep for a while, it's already so late.

As Su Tang watched Shen Yi's figure walking towards the hospital building, she suddenly had a strange feeling.

Heaven will bestow great responsibilities upon this person, but first... Su Tang, with great emotion, finished reciting the beginning, but suddenly forgot what comes after the first "but first". Thinking that Shen Yi's Chinese is not good, and that he can't understand common idioms, he must not have read "Mencius". So he decided to summarize it himself and said seriously, "First, torment him a bit."

Su Tang rolled her eyes, but couldn't argue back because she had never read the book "Mencius". She remembered very clearly that she first learned about this passage from this TV drama.

Shen Yi played with the complaining words full of flavor, smiled empathetically, and suddenly realized that his surname's pinyin also starts with the letter S.

Has your work been completed?

Su Tang glared at him with a sidelong glance, her face full of disbelief, "Where did you see it on TV?"

Su Tang was still sighing while hitting the East and West with a hammer. Shen Yi gently patted her arm and handed her the phone.

When others watch TV, they usually comment on which character looks the best. Su Tang has never thought about this question. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "The Empress Dowager."

Su Tang was stunned for a moment, pointing to the TV screen and saying, "You mean these?"

How can he remember so clearly, while she remembers it like this...

Su Tang shook her head and said, "It's quite exhausting to adjust to the time difference. I'll just go home and catch up on sleep after the interview tomorrow."

Who pities you? I am just being objective... Su Tang felt guilty and wanted to quickly change the subject that was inappropriate for her status. She looked up at the clock and said, "It's already past four. Didn't you say you would rest after finishing work at four? Go rest quickly."

Su Tang finally chose a TV drama channel, holding her cheek to watch Xiao Yanzi outsmarting Rong Ma Ma. Just when she was so engrossed that she almost wanted to strangle Xiao Yanzi on behalf of Rong Ma Ma, Shen Yi came out of the bedroom and walked into the living room.

Su Tang no longer felt comfortable asking him what illness he had. She looked up and saw people dressed in ancient costumes all over the screen. Suddenly, she remembered a phrase from an ancient book and couldn't help but look at Shen Yi and said, "I think there is a saying from our ancestors that is particularly suitable for you."

My attending physician starts work at 8 o'clock, we should be able to make it if we leave at 6:30.

In the vegetable and fruit box in the refrigerator's refrigeration compartment.

The subway does not go directly, and you have to transfer to a bus, which is very time-consuming.

After taking the medicine, Shen Yi did not leave the bedroom. Su Tang scratched his head at the door and saw him sitting by the bedside wearing a pair of glasses, engrossed in playing with his laptop. He seemed to be very focused on his work, so Su Tang didn't disturb him and sat alone on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

Shen Yawei was momentarily stunned, looked up at the screen where the kind and smiling old man was holding Qing'er's hand, and thought for a while. He kept watching until the camera switched to another character before withdrawing his gaze, nodding slightly with some regret.

She seems to have really met him somewhere.

This file bag was brought out by him from home. Su Tang thought it was something related to his work. He didn't finish it last night and wanted to bring it to the hospital to continue. Looking at him handing it over, she couldn't help but stare for a moment and asked, "Is this for me?"

It must have been a very familiar voice, but unfortunately, I couldn't hear it when I met her.

If it weren't for his natural inclination towards tranquility, he wouldn't have been able to live these silent days so calmly.

Su Tang sighed in frustration, "It's really infuriating how people compare themselves to others..."

Su Tang felt a little relieved and asked boldly and gently, "Is it because of illness?"

Has his car not been refueled for a long time?

Su Tang sat beside Shen Yi and clearly saw the entire process of him typing this sentence on his phone. It was natural, smooth, calm, and with a hint of nostalgia, as if an old centenarian was reminiscing about some local customs from his youth.

Sigh.

She didn't sleep all night, at least the strong jet lag supported her. Shen Yi also didn't sleep all night, and his mental state was noticeably worse. He fell asleep shortly after getting on the car, and didn't wake up until Su Tang parked the car in the parking lot of Boya Hospital. Shen Yi slowly woke up amidst the sudden trembling of the seat.

Shen Yi's expression seemed somewhat surprised. Su Tang smiled and added, "Her voice sounds like my grandmother's."

Shen Yi smiled helplessly.

Shen Yi did not immediately say goodnight, and instead watched the lively group of people on TV with interest. He took out his phone and sent a question.

Shen Yi didn't hesitate to type out his response.

Okay. Su Tang readily agreed and then reached out his hand to him, "But you have to hand over the car keys first, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Su Tang just gave birth to some sadness for him, and suddenly realized what this sentence meant. In astonishment, he twisted his tongue and asked a sentence structure that was enough to infuriate a carload of Chinese language teachers, "Have you... have you heard a voice?"

Shen Yi smiled helplessly, lowered his head and typed.

The last one in the list is a financial channel, currently airing a program analyzing stock forms. Watching the commentator in a sharp suit passionately spouting nonsense in front of the camera, Su Tang suddenly remembered the phrase Shen Yi wrote on her phone that could be lip-read. Out of curiosity, she pressed the mute button on the TV.

Shen Yi smiled innocently, neither confirming nor denying, put away his phone and stood up. He gently patted Su Tang's shoulder twice, bidding her goodnight.

Shen Yixiao laughed too much and started coughing softly. His cough was a bit weak, so Su Tang dared not to bother him anymore and could only stare at this reserved person with frustration.

ーー"Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame"

Shen Yi's face still carries a smile, just not as bright as before, gentle and soft, which makes Su Tang's heart tender, without a trace of temper.

Su Tang felt a bit abrupt when she asked the question. Before she could feel embarrassed, Shen Yi smiled and nodded, then lowered his head to type the next line.

Don't you want to go sleep for a while?

Su Tang "pu" laughed out loud. To be able to push the attending physician to this extent, his dark history must be quite spectacular. "Then why didn't the attending physician confiscate your car keys together?"

Su Tang has no research on cars, but she has driven a variety of cars. At least she can still feel the quality. Conservatively estimated, the total sum of her first month's salary and bonus is not enough to buy a set of original tires for this car.

Shen Yi's television has quite a few paid channels, with a majority of them being finance-related. There are also channels for movies, TV dramas, and animations. However, even so, Su Tang scrolled through hundreds of channels from beginning to end, but still couldn't find any program worth watching.

The ecological environment in the eastern suburbs of S city is the best, with no messy factories or concentrated commercial areas. Correspondingly, there is no convenient public transportation system either. She noticed it all the way when driving here. The nearest bus stop to Shen Yijia's home is at least ten minutes away by car, and she didn't see many taxis either. If he changes his mind at the last minute, she will have to withdraw from the interview. She noticed it all the way when driving here.

The attending physician confiscated my wallet.

I cannot drive. The attending physician forced me to take paid leave for the driver. I am not in cahoots with Lao Chen.

Su Tang used a flat-bottomed pan to shovel the broken glass into the kitchen trash can. After all the fuss, Su Tang's T-shirt was already soaked with sweat. Since she couldn't leave for a while, Su Tang simply took a shower in the bathroom of the guest room, put the dirty T-shirt and pants into the washing machine in the guest room, and wrapped herself in the coffee-colored men's bathrobe placed in the guest room wardrobe.

In the refrigerator ... ....

Shen Yi's eyebrows curved, and he generously displayed a full smile, as if the rain had cleared and the sky turned blue, the clouds parted and the sun appeared, causing Su Tang's heart to tremble.

Su Tang was amused by the familiar sentence pattern at the end. After a brief hesitation, she said, "Then I'll borrow it and come back to help you fill up the gas."

Shen Yi suddenly leaned back on the sofa and laughed, his shoulders shaking with laughter. Su Tang felt a little guilty and reached out to tug at his arm, saying, "I'm serious, why are you laughing?"

Su Tang was amused by this answer, "Did you plan this while cooking?"

What time does the interview start?

Su Tangcai, he is probably a person who naturally enjoys tranquility.

Su Tang subconsciously looked up at the wall clock, 4:03. She remembered the line of text he typed on the computer screen. He was supposed to work until four o'clock and then take a break.

Su Tang insisted, "Then I'll take a taxi."
