Section 7

"Kang Zhu, it's your turn..." A loud voice interrupted the broadcast.

Kang Jian hung up the phone, Bai Yan lay back down on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and had just begun to doze off when "bang, bang..." someone knocked on the door urgently

The white goose suddenly lost all its strength, unable to stand, and had to lean on Kang Jian's arm to sit down at the table

"Bai Yan, why are you not in the hospital?"

Bai Yan coldly informed her that she would be taking an additional three days off. Liu Jing was left in tears, feeling utterly helpless

Kang Jian stubbornly held her hand, hailed a taxi, and sent her back to the apartment before bidding farewell

As soon as the door opened, it was immediately followed by a loud "bang" as it closed again. She clutched her chest, all drowsiness vanished.

Good

Kang Jian did not call again, nor did any chance encounters occur, and Bai Yan had almost forgotten this episode. It was only when she happened to watch television and accidentally flipped to Binjiang Channel, seeing Kang Jian in a meeting or on a visit, that she would remember that she knew this person.

Kang Jian hesitated for a moment, then stiffly reached out his hand and touched her hair. "There is nothing worth caring about; it is all in the past. The one who is my girlfriend is you, not anyone else. Don't say anything about affecting my future; I already dislike being labeled as a 'second-generation official.' My future depends on my own efforts; no one can obstruct it or assist me."

White Goose

In early November, various ministries and agencies organized all employees to participate in the annual health check-up at the hospital. This is a benefit provided by the organization and also a good opportunity for the hospital to generate revenue. Each examination department increased its staff and worked overtime to accommodate the health check-up participants

Leader Kang, upon exiting the hospital gate, found Yonghe Soy Milk to his left and Da Niang Dumplings to his right. Both places offer good breakfast options at reasonable prices

Leader Kang, I... I just feel like this is some kind of daydream. You are serious and dignified, holding a high position, and possessing profound depth; how could you possibly engage in such a naive game as love at first sight? This is not a romantic drama, who would believe it, such a clichéd plot... Hmm...

The white goose stared in astonishment, its eyes wide open, meeting his fervent gaze

You are truly brave. After a long while, she let out a breath, bit her lip, and said, "Leader Kang, I am flattered by your affection for me, and of course, there is a bit of vanity involved. I won't say anything more, is that alright? You could hire a private detective or find someone trustworthy in the public security department to quietly inquire about my family's situation at the Yun County Yue Opera Troupe, and then you will understand why we are no longer in the same country.

Work and off work, the days have quietly turned over many pages again

Bai Yan truly felt like going crazy, suddenly sitting up from the bed with a start, her hair disheveled, her face drawn, and she impatiently complained, "I'm here, I'm coming!" with her tone rising sharply at the end

Recently, in the city, I have been extremely busy preparing for the inspection for the establishment of a civilized city, and I haven't had the chance to call you. Kang Jian rubbed his forehead, as if to account for the days of silence that had passed. I sent someone to Yun County; in fact, it doesn't make much difference whether I went or not, Bai Yan is still the Bai Yan I know.

Hehe, she chuckled awkwardly, hurriedly rushed into the bedroom to put on an outer garment, used her hand to comb her hair into a bun, wiped her face with a cold towel, and then finally opened the door, "Leader Kang, please!"

You ... ... " She raised her head, her expression puzzled

The white goose widened its eyes and said, "You... do not care about those?"

Kang Jian's voice, Bai Yan murmured, "I am on leave, is there something?"

Bai Yan returned to the apartment, took a hot bath, washed her clothes, tidied up the room, had a simple meal, and then fell into a deep sleep

Kang Jian stood beside her, his hand resting on her shoulder, "What unresolved issues do you have? Speak them all out!"

In the case of a three-day consecutive holiday, it usually involves the white goose working two night shifts, followed by Friday, and then combined with Saturday and Sunday

In a state of drowsiness, I was suddenly awakened by a series of urgent ringing sounds. At first, I thought it was the alarm clock, but upon opening my eyes, I realized it was my mobile phone

After a kiss, the initiative was no longer in Bai Yan's hands, and Leader Kang's offensive was like a raging tide, advancing courageously forward

I am in the ultrasound room

Bai Yan felt that her mind was somewhat out of control. She slowly sat up, leaning against the headboard, and looked out the window. The sky seemed to be brightening, but there was no sun.

Kang Jianyu stood outside the door, exuding an air of elegance and grace.

Then let go! The white goose's lips were somewhat pale, and its body trembled from the cold

Kang Jian replied solemnly: "If it truly comes to ruin, I have no regrets. Personally, I believe that a well-grown pillar has little to do with whether its counterpart can enter the hall or not"

The beginning of emotions is not like solving an arithmetic problem, where there is a definite answer. Your gaze, your tone, and every little gesture of yours are all reasons, is that acceptable? Bai Yan, I am very serious. Be my girlfriend, and let us see how we get along.

Kang Jian's warm lips suddenly sealed her endless chatter

"What exactly are you talking about?" Kang Jian interrupted her, "I haven't had the B ultrasound yet! I just went to the operating room to look for you, but I didn't see you. Later, shall we go have breakfast together? Are you coming to the hospital or should I come to pick you up? After the physical examination, I have no other plans this morning"

Kang Jian cast a sidelong glance at her and handed her the paper bag in his hand

The white goose did not respond, merely gazing at him in bewilderment

But she was mistaken; if he were so easy to deal with, they would not be standing here together now

Kang Jian grasped her hand extended in the wind, "Bai Yan, wait a moment. We were not from the same country before, but if given the opportunity to interact, we will find common language and shared interests, and gradually we will become like siblings."

She took it; the paper bag was still a bit hot. Looking down, she saw rice balls, soy milk, and shrimp dumplings, enough for two servings

There is no possibility. The white goose wanted to withdraw its hand, but he held on tighter.

I can manage the kitchen, but I absolutely cannot handle the hall. Leader Kang, you should sharpen your insight and see clearly; a talent like you must not be ruined by my hands. Bai Yan earnestly advised, feeling a strong sense of helplessness rise within her; this person is truly stubborn.

Bai Yan chuckled and shook her head: "Leader Kang, may I ask what you like about me?"

No matter how busy Kang Jian is, he makes sure to take at least two occasions each week to pick up Bai Yan from the hospital after work, and they often have dinner together. If time permits, he arrives half an hour early to wait for Bai Yan at the hospital. The small restaurants near Bai Yan's apartment frequently bear witness to their presence, and the young owners often mention to anyone who asks that the handsome assistant to the mayor in the city has a girlfriend with two dimples on her face, which makes her very charming

"You have never tried, so how can you be sure it is impossible?" Kang Jian's gaze was piercing.

The white goose suddenly opened her eyes, instinctively associating it with something. She took a gentle breath, trying to keep her tone calm, "Leader Kang, is there something bad that has been detected? Do not worry, if discovered early, it can be surgically eradicated..."

Hello ... ... "Bai Yan" closed her eyes, drifting into a near-sleep state.

Liu Jing happens to be in the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient department this month, exhausted every day and lamenting how fortunate Bai Yan is

In the small apartment, for the first time, a member of the opposite sex has visited, and a strange current of air is gently wafting through.

The white goose is almost certain that after parting tonight, the two individuals will immediately become two infinitely extending parallel lines, never to intersect again.
