Chapter 10, Childhood Sweethearts with a Deep Connection

Bai Yueguang had not yet spoken when Lin Nanfeng waved his hand and left first. Bai Yueguang felt an emptiness in his heart, as if there were a hole there, with a howling cold wind rushing in, whipping at his soul

This night is destined for no one to sleep

Bai Yueguang originally had unresolved feelings in her heart. Upon seeing Lin Nanfeng collapsed on the ground, she truly panicked and forgot the grievances between them. At this moment, with the crisis averted, her expression turned cold. Without saying a word, she broke free from the grip Lin Nanfeng had on her wrist and attempted to leave. Lin Nanfeng quickly got up and chased after her; this time, he could not let Bai Yueguang escape.

He has been educated to be a gentleman since childhood. Unfortunately, he could only grasp Su Linglong's shoulders and try to distance her from himself. However, as soon as they were slightly apart, Su Linglong pounced fiercely into his chest again

Lin Nanfeng repeated once again: "What I mean is, that matter is not your fault"

In the hospital room, An An suddenly jumped onto Professor Chen's lap. Professor Chen was old enough to be her grandfather. An An's mother looked at Professor Chen with a gaze that seemed to carry both reproach and apology. Professor Chen, holding An An, appeared to be completely unconcerned. He smiled and teased An An, asking, "What do you want to be when you grow up, An An?"

Only Ji Xu was at a loss. In the span of a single night, his two childhood companions seemed to have completely changed, and despite living in the same building, he had hardly seen them.

The flustered Bai Yueguang stood anxiously in front of the elevator, feeling quite anxious. After just experiencing a scare, it seemed that cold sweat was breaking out on her back. The elevator had been stopped on the first floor for quite some time before it finally began to ascend slowly. Bai Yueguang furtively glanced around, appearing as if she feared that some malevolent creature might suddenly leap out from beside her

Chen Shan: "You are all aware of her condition; it is like a ticking time bomb, with danger present every minute and every second. Nanfeng, hurry up, Professor Chen is waiting for you, and you must enter the operating room with him immediately"

Bai Yueguang thought for a moment and recalled the information that Lin Nanfeng had mentioned recently. After piecing it together, she immediately arrived at the conclusion: "It should be the cardiology department"

Bai Yueguang looked up at him: "Then you ... ... "

You stand up

Bai Zhenhua sat high on the bed, resembling an emperor, and pointed to another lunch box, asking: "What is inside that?"

This state of despondent living continued for a while, and several families became aware of the low spirits, choosing not to disturb the children out of consideration

Bai Yueguang could not help but break the awkwardness: "You ... ... "

Classmate White Moonlight

Under the cover of night, warm lights gradually illuminate, and the family building still emits the fragrant aroma of dinner on time as usual

Su Linglong did not wait for his response and proactively lit her lighter, bringing it close to the end of the cigarette he was holding. To Lin Nanfeng's astonishment, Su Linglong unceremoniously reached into the pocket from which he had just taken out the cigarettes, skillfully pulled out a pack, took one out, placed it in her mouth, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled a long plume of smoke.

Lin Nanfeng was still wearing a surgical gown, and sweat was seeping from his forehead. That night, they had snatched An An back from the hands of death. At this moment, everyone was utterly exhausted, to the point that they could barely hold on in the hospital corridor

An An's father went out to do business in another city when An An was very young. Later, his business grew larger and larger, and An An's father took on a new lover outside. Just like in all the clichéd ethical dramas, An An's father returned and forcibly divorced An An's mother, relinquishing custody of An An. Aside from regular video calls, he has never returned to see An An, not even during this time when An An was seriously ill and hospitalized

Even under the sunlight, Bai Yueguang felt a chill behind her and thought it was better to keep a distance. Bai Yueguang pushed An An and turned to leave, but after just a few steps, An An, sitting in her wheelchair, suddenly bent down and rested her forehead on her knees. She appeared to be in great pain, her hands tightly clutching the area over her heart.

Bai Yueguang praised: "What a beautiful name, An An. Where are your elders? Why are you out here wandering alone?"

Bai Yueguang stood up in fear and trepidation, noticing that the teacher's expression was not good. He angrily questioned, "How can you still laugh after witnessing such a tragic scene?"

Lin Nanfeng! Are you being a rogue?

Su Linglong felt a bit dazed: "This is the first time you have smiled at me like this."

Bai Song also imitates: "Alas, these two children"

He sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and finally found a moment of rest

Su Linglong smiled helplessly and said meaningfully: "From the first moment I saw you, I knew we were of the same kind."

Bai Yueguang gathered her courage and approached the mother who was on the brink of despair. She did not know what to say, as any words at that moment would feel hollow. An An's mother seemed indifferent to Bai Yueguang's presence, her entire being focused on the operating room.

The little girl said: "My name is An An"

The white moonlight remained indifferent, as she propped her chin on her hand, lost in thought, her eyes vacant as they gazed ahead, a foolish smile on her face. Gu Yao, feeling helpless, chose to ignore her.

Su Linglong asked: "Will you not keep me?"

At this moment, the male protagonist appeared, slowly walked in front of the white moonlight, took off the diamond ring from the aircraft, knelt on one knee, and said to the white moonlight: "Moonlight, marry me"

"Why choose the profession of a doctor? It is the profession closest to pain and death." Su Linglong asked again

Bai Yueguang closed her mouth, feeling somewhat delighted: "Is there still mine?" As she spoke, she was about to reach out to lift the lid. Just as she was about to do so, Bai's mother swiftly slapped her hand away before she could touch the lunchbox lid

Lin Nanfeng asked, "What shall we play? Dou Di Zhu?" Lin Nanfeng was guessing the games that Bai Zhenhua could play based on his age

Lin Nanfeng did not say much, only responding with a single word: "Able."

Bai Yueguang was startled and quickly crouched down to ask: "An An? What’s wrong? Where do you feel unwell?"

On the other side, Bai Yueguang was walking in the hospital with her mother's lovingly prepared chicken soup lunchbox. The thought of having to walk a long distance to reach Lin Nanfeng's office made her feel a bit apprehensive. Upon exiting the inpatient area, she saw a person approaching her with a birthmark that covered half of their face, and she wanted to turn around and run. However, she had no intention of offending anyone, and such a reaction would be too impolite. She simply felt a sense of fear towards various oddly shaped patients and could not bring herself to look directly at them.

However, she had no intention of offending anyone, and such a reaction would be too impolite. She simply felt a sense of fear towards various oddly shaped patients and could not bring herself to look directly at them.

To say that seeing him embrace another person did not make Bai Yueguang angry, at this moment, being forcibly stopped by him, Bai Yueguang was truly angry

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, as I unknowingly married a man who is also my future father-in-law (son-in-law)? The two of them swallowed hard, and without a word, quickly canceled their accounts and exited the game

Shall we get married

An An bit her finger and thought for a moment, then said: "Because I often see Sister Qiao Qiao, Sister Si Wen, Sister Xiao Xiao, and many, many nurse sisters secretly watching him. They always discuss him, so I want to be like him! I also want to become a popular person like him. Once I become the most popular person, my dad will come home!"

Gu Yao furrowed her brows and said to Bai Yueguang: "Yueguang, you need to go out quickly now, to the small square outside."

It was precisely the time when there were many people, and it was a sunny day, with sunlight streaming in. The gossip among the coming and going staff was fervently ablaze, curiously observing these two peculiar individuals

Bai Yueguang went straight to Lin Nanfeng's office after arriving at the hospital, only to find it completely empty, without a single person in sight. In a state of helplessness, she had no choice but to inquire at the nurse's station. The nurse at the station informed her that Dr. Lin was making rounds in room 1612, and she could go directly to find him. Without a second thought, Bai Yueguang headed straight to room 1612.

The two individuals held hands, ascending step by step. Although it was merely a residential building, it evoked the feeling of the Champs-Élysées. The white moonlight was immersed in the wonderful atmosphere, until they were suddenly brought back to reality by Lin Nanfeng's "wall slam" at the corner of the staircase.

An An's tears flowed down: "Sister, do you also know that I won't live long, which is why you are unwilling to be friends with me, unwilling to take me out?" An An sobbed, and her crying broke Bai Yueguang's heart.

However, cherishing life like Bai Zhenhua, how could he easily leave without truly feeling at ease? Moreover, in the past few days, he and Uncle Qin in the next bed have been enjoying lively conversations together. Both having experienced "life-and-death surgeries," they hit it off immediately, often staying up late into the night discussing the "ultimate meaning of life"

Lin Nanfeng suddenly furrowed his brows, turning his head to look behind him. Sure enough, Bai Yueguang was standing not far away, holding a lunchbox with a dazed expression on her face. Lin Nanfeng panicked; he could no longer care about any gentlemanly demeanor and pushed Su Linglong aside. Su Linglong, with tears on her face, clearly already knew of Bai Yueguang's presence. She wore a blank expression, neither sad nor happy, and the tears on her face made her even more stunning, yet her eyes held no trace of emotion.

Uncertain how much time has passed, it feels as though a century has gone by, the white moonlight has never dared to leave. She always feels that this matter is her fault, that she has the responsibility to remain here until she confirms that everything is safe and sound.

Bai Yueguang noticed that Gu Yao's expression was off and assumed that something had happened to Lin Nanfeng. She quickly tore off her hairpin and took off her high heels, rushing towards the exit of the hall. Everyone followed her outside, and no one noticed the sly smile on Gu Yao's face.

In the quiet of the hospital at midnight, it seemed one could hear the coughs coming from the inpatient ward. Just when they thought this endless wait would grow heavier like the night, the "surgery in progress" light suddenly went out, and An'an's mother abruptly stood up and rushed over. The operating room door opened, and Professor Chen walked out, looking exhausted. An'an's mother hurriedly approached and asked anxiously, "Professor Chen, how is An'an?"

Bai Zhenhua's appendectomy caused quite a commotion. After staying in the hospital for several days, he finally found a satisfactory doctor to perform the surgery

The two spoke in unison: "No!"

At the airport security checkpoint, Lin Nanfeng stood with one hand in his pocket, facing Su Linglong, who was wearing large sunglasses. The airport announcement once again provided information about the flight to the United States, but Su Linglong remained unmoved.

She kept murmuring, as if these words were not only directed at Professor Chen, but also served to comfort herself

Lin Nanfeng walked over and opened his arms: "Alright, are you reassured now?"

She stood at the doorway of the ward, tiptoeing to peer inside. Strange, the ward was also empty; not a doctor in sight, nor even a patient.

She parted her cracked lips, her voice hoarse, and asked almost humbly: "Doctor Chen? An'an's illness still has a great chance of recovery, right?"

Imperative sentences? Gu Yao widened her eyes, Bai Yueguang is now speaking to her using imperative sentences?

White Moonlight, in a daze: "Ah? Where to?"

The white mother quickly nodded: "Yes, she is in the room, I will go call her"

In the afternoon, there were no classes, and Gu Yao, as usual, drove Bai Yueguang home. However, as soon as Bai Yueguang got into the car, she commanded, "Don't go home, go to City Hospital No. 1."

In the center of the elevator, an elderly man with a dark complexion, leaning on a cane, stood with an imposing presence, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on Bai Yueguang.

Gu Yao was even more surprised; hadn't she just been discharged from the hospital a few days ago? Today, Bai Yueguang was acting unusually. She did not speak further and resignedly started the car to take her to the hospital

Su Linglong smiled and asked, "Who? That girl? Besides her, who else? One more? Two?"

After an entire night of rescue efforts, An An finally emerged from life-threatening danger and was transferred to a general ward. As soon as the young girl woke up, she began to fuss. Seeing various tubes inserted into her body and being unable to move, she started to throw a tantrum, and it took a great deal of effort to calm her down

After school at noon, Bai Yueguang seemed to have no negative emotions. It is important to note that for a low-achieving student like her, who values every minute, each moment is hard-earned. Gu Yao felt that Bai Yueguang had become increasingly strange lately

Lin Nanfeng remained silent, while Su Linglong continued, "The profession of a doctor has become a good disguise for people like us. Indeed, spending all day dealing with those in deep pain, one becomes accustomed to suffering, and naturally becomes indifferent and hard to approach. Who would still look at us with strange eyes?"

Lin Nanfeng nodded, not stating whether he had played before. The two each occupied a computer, opened the game, and logged into their accounts

Su Linglong clearly did not expect to be asked in return, "Me?" She forced a smile and said, "My father is the dean, so of course I have to become a doctor"

At noon, Bai Mu arrived at the hospital ward carrying two insulated lunch boxes to deliver food to Bai Zhenhua. At that moment, Bai Yueguang was sitting bored on the chair beside the hospital bed, yawning. Bai Zhenhua twitched his nose a few times, catching the scent of the specially customized hospital meal, and immediately closed the game on his iPad, deftly setting down the small dining table beside the bed.

Lin Nanfeng finally walked out, accompanied by Su Linglong. Lin Nanfeng's demeanor was unusual; he seemed to look right through her. Bai Yueguang took the initiative to approach him, nearly in tears, yet death is an irreversible matter

Bai Yueguang was taken aback: "Ah?"

Little girl: "Who are you looking for, sister?"

An An nodded vigorously: "Good!"

White Moonlight: "Really?"

At that moment, the stairwell door on their floor suddenly opened, revealing Chen Shan. Chen Shan's face was pale with urgency, and he spoke to Lin Nanfeng and Su Linglong in a trembling voice: "Hurry, An An has been taken into the operating room!"

Lin Nanfeng: "You ultimately allowed her to take a glance at such beautiful sunlight before leaving; she departed with ease"

Lin Nanfeng sighed as he stroked Bai Yueguang's hair; she still misunderstood him

The door to the consultation room is tightly closed, and loud discussions can be heard from within. However, at this moment, any sound feels like sharp silver needles piercing the woman's nerves

However, reality did not provide Bai Yueguang with more space for contemplation. A shadow loomed overhead, and the unique smell of formalin emanating from a certain person suddenly surged into her nostrils. Fortunately, this scent, which Bai Yueguang had originally despised, had long since transformed into a deadly temptation. ... Thus, at this moment, she was able to calmly accept the lips of that certain person

The white moonlight has never concealed her emotions, and her helpless smile has already crept up to the corners of her mouth. That smile is not mocking, yet it surpasses mockery, as if it is a forced disguise to cover the shattering of hope. However, this reaction is too mechanical and too pale.

Lin Nanfeng did not dare to let go even the slightest bit, and for the first time, he spoke in a low voice: "This time I was wrong, it is not as you saw."

At the Bai family dining table, Bai Yueguang and Bai Mu were attentively serving dishes to Lin Nanfeng. Bai Song and Bai Zhenhua sat in the corner, biting their chopsticks as they watched piece after piece of meat fly into Lin Nanfeng's bowl

In this game, Bai Zhenhua was under the impression that victory was assured. If the opponent had no prior experience, this would become a means to mock Lin Nanfeng. However, if the opponent had played before...

Lin Nanfeng no longer hesitated, he took a few steps and exited the stairwell

Bai Yueguang calculated the distance and, looking at An An who was crying uncontrollably, finally agreed. After leaving a note on the table nearby, Bai Yueguang pushed An An down to the garden.

Bai Zhenhua was choked, what does 'can' mean? How can he continue this conversation? After pondering for a moment, he stood up and forcibly pulled Lin Nanfeng into Bai Yueguang's room, turning on both the desktop and the laptop.

The white moonlight stepped out and squeezed into Lin Nanfeng's embrace: "The crisis is averted, from now on I will keep a closer watch on you"

She gently placed the lunchbox in her hand on the ground and said, "This is from my mother." After saying this, she ran downstairs without looking back. At that moment, Lin Nanfeng realized he needed to shake off Su Linglong's hand; he wanted to run down and chase after Bai Yueguang, shouting as he pretended to head downstairs.

An An's mother did not seem to be completely at ease; she tugged at Professor Chen's sleeve and said almost pleadingly, "Really? My An An will be alright, won't she?"

Everyone was taken aback, and then they all burst into laughter, even Lin Nanfeng, who usually had a high threshold for humor, couldn't help but relax the corners of his mouth. Professor Chen asked, "Why do you want to be him? How can one person be another person?"

Lin Nanfeng: "Oh? Is there a second type of person in this world?"

The tears of the white moonlight fell like broken beads, and this emotional knot tormented her for a long, long time. Every night, she dreamed of An An, and her guilt made her restless. She even wished she could take An An's place and bear everything for her

Lin Nanfeng's hand, which was clicking the mouse, became stiff

The other two individuals supported each other, limping as they approached. The man with the swollen face asked, "Which department's doctor treated this little child?"

Lin Nanfeng was somewhat astonished; the director's daughter, who usually presented herself as a refined young lady, was indeed not what he had expected in this manner.

The weariness in Lin Nanfeng's voice became more pronounced as he hoarsely said: "Stop messing around, I have been working all night and I am very tired now"

Professor Chen, with a lack of energy, instructed: "You all should go about your tasks and not forget the meeting in the afternoon"

Bai Yueguang still feels very guilty: "But I ... ... "

Lin Nanfeng said softly: "Goodbye"

In the bedroom, Bai Yueguang thought it was her mother Bai coming in. As she sat up, she realized it was Lin Nanfeng. For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. This was not the first time Lin Nanfeng had come to her room; when they were young, they always gathered together—today at your house, tomorrow at mine, the day after at hers. Now that they have grown up, this was still Lin Nanfeng's first visit, and it seemed that nothing had really changed.

An An's mother seemed to have found the answer, as she sincerely bent down and bowed. This poor mother had regarded the doctors as deities, placing all her hopes in them. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her entire face appeared somewhat puffy. After bowing, she staggered away.

Bai Yueguang was taken aback, "Enjoying oneself?" It sounded strange. She wanted to raise her head to ask, but was held tightly by Lin Nanfeng, unable to move.

Lin Nanfeng: "What is your uncle's online name? I would like to invite you to the school grounds."

After Bai Yueguang finished washing the dishes for Bai Mu, she walked into the living room and saw Lin Nanfeng and Bai Zhenhua sitting on the sofa with strange expressions. They were fixated on the television, which was playing an advertisement, as if they were watching it with great interest

Lin Nanfeng looked at the white moonlight that had already disappeared from view downstairs. He longed to rush down immediately to chase after her, but An An was in a critical situation here

Bai Mu directly ignored him, turned around, and pulled up Bai Yueguang, who was yawning with her mouth wide open, shoving the lunchbox in her hand to her.

Bai Zhenhua scoffed and mocked, "You are out of touch! Only old folks play Dou Di Zhu. Have you ever played 'Dream Back to Wulin'?"

Pity the hearts of parents everywhere. The last time the mother and daughter came for hospitalization, the woman was still a patient, loving, and elegantly dressed mother, but at this moment, she seems to have completely changed into a different person

"What are you doing...?" The white moonlight finally asked a rather ambiguous question, speaking hesitantly. Moreover, once she finished speaking, she realized it herself, and the expression on her face became even more awkward

Bai Yueguang's face flushed; she did not expect to be caught off guard by a little girl. She quickly changed the subject: "What is your name?"

During Bai Zhenhua's recent illness and hospitalization, he was greatly assisted by Lin Nanfeng, who took care of many matters, even accommodating some of Bai Zhenhua's unreasonable requests. Bai's mother was very grateful for this, and whenever she mentioned Lin Nanfeng, her praises would flow endlessly, her eyes sparkling like crescent moons. Although Bai Zhenhua pretended to be dismissive, he was well aware in his heart that Lin Nanfeng had indeed helped him a lot.

But you have already locked yourself in the house for a month

Nine years later

The entire class burst into laughter, and the teacher, infuriated, puffed his cheeks and glared, yet found no way to refute it. The final outcome was that twenty points were deducted from the score of the Bai Yueguang course.

Bai Yueguang was so frightened that she quickly got up. This middle-aged man in a wheelchair was even more terrifying than the one with the half-black birthmark just now. His head was wrapped in thick bandages, his arm was in a sling, and his face was so swollen that it was impossible to discern his original appearance

Lin Nanfeng: "No matter how many, I need them all"

Although the two were originally here to get married, the surprise before them still caused Bai Yueguang to cover her mouth in excitement, moved to tears.

It has been a month since we last met, and Lin Nanfeng has not shaved the stubble on his chin cleanly.

Not far away, a whistle brought Su Linglong's thoughts back. A Spanish man with deep-set eyes and a bushy beard approached, wrapped his arms around Su Linglong, and gave her a passionate kiss.

The assistant expressed some grievance: "But Director, there was clearly no one before we closed the door, and I also went in with you, so I couldn't just stand at the door."

Lin Nanfeng: "Let's go, goodbye"

At this moment, the three individuals in the pavilion heard the sounds from this direction, and they quickly approached Bai Yueguang, each limping. Bai Yueguang felt anxious, unsure of their intentions.

The white moonlight covered her mouth, unable to believe what she saw. Then, a small aircraft slowly flew in front of her, lowering a rope with a diamond ring tied to it.

In the operating room, Professor Chen, Lin Nanfeng, and a group of elite doctors from the hospital, all wearing masks, were gathered around the surgical table working diligently, while nurses occasionally stepped forward to wipe the sweat from their brows

Su Linglong did not linger, but instead walked towards the security checkpoint with the Spanish man.

On the other side, after Bai Yueguang ran out of the auditorium, a fountain outside suddenly shot up a water column several meters high, while on the adjacent open space, roses were arranged to spell out the words "Bai Yueguang, I love you," with the word "love" directly replaced by a heart shape.

Since An An left, Lin Nanfeng has taken a long leave of absence at home, and it has been more than a month. He neither goes out nor sees anyone. Bai Yueguang has not spoken a word to him in this month; how could she not feel sad? As soon as she returns from school, she locks herself in her room as if under a spell, also not going out or seeing anyone.

Realizing her own blunder, Bai Yueguang cleared her throat but could not muster a single word of rebuttal. She felt frustrated, her mind racing with thoughts of how she should retaliate, yet Lin Nanfeng dealt her another heavy blow.

The hospital has a regulation that patients must turn off the lights and go to sleep at the designated time. The young nurse on night rounds was almost in tears due to the childish resistance from two gentlemen over fifty years old.

Bai Song, in high spirits, held the old man's hand and brought him to Lin Nanfeng's doorstep. Once the old man entered, he never came out again. Until the evening, Bai's mother remained uneasy; she had scolded Bai Song for an entire afternoon, worried that this child would bring unknown people home. Therefore, under the pretext of delivering dinner, Bai's mother went upstairs and knocked on Lin Nanfeng's door.

Go away

Bai Yueguang, in a daze, walked out the door holding the chicken soup. Seeing the chicken soup walk away, Bai Zhenhua could only hug his lunch box and drink the soup, unable to suppress his resentment as he muttered: "I see you are about to recognize someone else as your son"

The sounds inside were intermittent and unclear, only to be interrupted for a moment by the faint discussions before the consultation room door was suddenly flung open from the inside. Professor Chen strode out, his brows tightly knitted, his complexion as dark as thick, gathered storm clouds.

The white moonlight was astonished

Bai Yueguang coldly uttered an "oh" and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Lin Nanfeng forcibly pulled her back, gently kissing her hands near his lips. Bai Yueguang's mind buzzed, and she felt goosebumps all over her back. Lin Nanfeng did not give her a chance to react; he directly wrapped his arms around Bai Yueguang and whispered into her flushed ear: "I didn't intend to rush this, but a lot has happened recently. Life is short, so we should seize the moment."

Bai Yueguang has already forgotten how to cry, yet her hand does not wish to let go. Being able to lean against Lin Nanfeng's chest once more, listening to the steady and powerful beats of his heart, Bai Yueguang feels an immense happiness, as if she has been waiting for this day her entire life. She also thinks of An An's heart, hoping that in another world, she can possess a healthy heart.

Lin Nanfeng's mood was evidently somewhat downcast, so being as clever as she was, she did not approach him to strike up a conversation, but instead quietly stayed by his side, offering her companionship throughout.

A silence fell between the two again, and Lin Nanfeng spoke: "It's not your fault"

Lin Nanfeng stopped Bai's mother and said, "No need, I will go."

In the stairwell, Bai Yueguang climbed the stairs, drenched in sweat; ascending eight flights of stairs was no simple task. She must not have checked the feng shui before leaving home today, as her journey was fraught with difficulties, forcing her to retreat down the stairwell.

As the time approached, Lin Nanfeng stood up to take his leave. Seeing this, Bai Mu hurriedly asked Bai Yueguang to see him off

The door opened, and the old man was about to leave when Lin Nanfeng called out to him, "Professor Chen." It is unknown what the two discussed for an entire afternoon, but Lin Nanfeng seemed to be a bit more talkative. The next day, he surprisingly agreed to go out for a meal. After this continued for a week, although Lin Nanfeng had not returned to his previous state, he was clearly no longer as despondent.

Outside the operating room, a woman stared intently at the illuminated words "In Surgery" on the door. Not far away, the white moonlight followed her. She felt an overwhelming sense of guilt; if it weren't for her taking An An downstairs, perhaps An An wouldn't have suddenly fallen ill. She was filled with self-reproach, unsure of how to explain the situation to Lin Nanfeng. And that mother, surely An An's mother, must be filled with hatred towards her at this very moment, resenting her for taking her daughter downstairs, which led to this disaster

Lin Nanfeng hurriedly sat down and embraced Bai Yueguang, who was crying inconsolably on Lin Nanfeng's shoulder, her sobs echoing dramatically. She kept repeating her apologies. Lin Nanfeng gently stroked her back and comforted her in a soft tone: "It is not your fault; no one blames you for this matter"

Taking advantage of Bai Mu's speech, Bai Zhenhua swiftly lifted the lid with lightning speed; even if it was meant for someone else, he wanted to take a look, even if he couldn't eat it

Bai Yueguang swallowed hard, hesitating for a long time, until the elevator doors were about to close, when she finally uttered a phrase that seemed directed at no one in particular, "Ah, I forgot to bring my things!" and then she hurriedly ran away

Su Linglong did not answer his question, but instead said: "Ignored since childhood, reclusive, with few friends, able to solve everything on my own, without needing a second person; an additional person is just a burden"

An An's mother, upon hearing this, suddenly felt darkness before her eyes and collapsed straight forward. A group of nurses rushed over to support her and half-carried her away.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Bai Zhenhua stood at the entrance, watching his daughter sitting on the bed, crying while holding a little rascal. Bai Yueguang's crying paused for a moment, and just as Bai Zhenhua was about to intervene in anger, a hand reached out from behind, twisting his ear and dragging him away, followed by the sound of Bai Mu reprimanding Bai Zhenhua. Bai Song obediently and sensibly closed the door.

Mother Bai turned sideways and tucked the lunchbox to the other side of her body: "Drink your own chicken soup"

After Bai Yueguang regained her senses, she heard the teacher calling her, and she replied loudly, "Here!"

Bai Yueguang was blocked in her path, and Lin Nanfeng grasped her wrist again, gazing into her eyes, and said: "Don't go"

"Classmate Bai Yueguang! Please stand up."

Director Liu could no longer vent his anger on others and had no choice but to leave briskly with the documents in hand. Professor Chen let out a long sigh and also left slowly. The last to leave was Lin Nanfeng, followed quietly by Su Linglong as they both exited the conference room.

Gu Yao: "The First Municipal Hospital is in the opposite direction from my home, it's very far. What do you want to go there for? To treat your brain?"

Professor Chen managed to squeeze out a smile and said to An'an's mother: "Rest assured, with so many doctors and nurses here, we will do our utmost to help little An'an overcome the illness and regain health"

Professor Chen patiently comforted, "We need both the family and the patient to maintain an optimistic attitude, as this is more conducive to treatment. An'an's mother, you should go back and be with An'an; if she wakes up and doesn't see you, she will surely be upset."

Bai Yueguang encouraged herself in her heart, tightly gripping the handle of her lunchbox with both hands, her head tucked down like a quail, her eyes half-closed as she hurriedly walked past that person. Finally, as she distanced herself from the person with the half-face birthmark, she turned back to glance at the receding figure and let out a long sigh of relief

In front of the window in the stairwell, Lin Nanfeng recalled the scene in the hospital room just now, and he felt even worse. He rummaged through his jacket pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, and after pulling one out, he could not find a lighter no matter how hard he searched. Suddenly, a slender hand reached out from behind him, holding a lighter in front of him. With the cigarette in his mouth, he was taken aback and turned around to find that it was none other than Su Linglong, who had been clinging to him closely lately.

Lin Nanfeng nodded and then walked away with Professor Chen

Lin Nanfeng seemed to notice An'an's embarrassment, so he took the initiative to step forward and ease the situation, saying to An'an: "Since An'an wants to be me, why not also become a doctor in the future? That way, An'an will never get sick, and An'an can also protect mom to ensure she is always healthy"

Lin Nanfeng parroted her phrasing and replied perfunctorily: "I am studying medicine, so of course I will become a doctor"

The two stood silently in the stairwell smoking, when Lin Nanfeng suddenly spoke: "You ... ... "

Su Linglong: "Wasn't everything just fine a moment ago?"

A warning sound "dong" echoed, and a dialog box popped up stating, "Sorry, you cannot engage in PK with your partner."

She could do nothing but nod. Lin Nanfeng smiled as he placed the ring on her finger, then stood up to embrace her, and the two shared a kiss. The onlookers timely offered their applause. This pair of childhood sweethearts, who fell in love at first sight, finally achieved their happy ending

Lin Nanfeng had no intention of leaving, nor did he have any desire to converse with those around him. Su Linglong took the initiative to speak: "Is this your first time handling a patient like this?"

When she heard the bad news, Bai Yueguang's mind went blank; she never expected that the lovely little girl would leave so suddenly. Guilt surged within her as she anxiously awaited Lin Nanfeng's emergence from the operating room

Since Bai Zhenhua stayed in the hospital for a while, even his temperament has changed. He used to be an old-fashioned person, but now he has completely become a trendy elder, doing whatever the young people do.

Bai Mu shot him a glare, expressionless as she replaced the lid, urging Bai Yueguang: "What are you still dawdling for? Hurry up!"

In the school's general public class, the teacher was passionately recounting modern history, while the big screen displayed one after another image of the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of Beijing. Gu Yao quickly highlighted the key points in her notebook with a few swift strokes. When she looked up again, she once more heard the faint, almost imperceptible laughter beside her.

Bai Yueguang's reaction was not right; she seemed to have become a different person. Lin Nanfeng was anxious to step forward, but was pulled back by Su Linglong. Bai Yueguang looked at Su Linglong holding Lin Nanfeng's hand, standing on the stairs a few meters away, as if avoiding a plague victim, unwilling to approach and even more reluctant to speak.

Bai Zhenhua: "One zero one zero eight eight"

Bai Yueguang's mind was filled with countless thoughts, such as why Lin Nanfeng suddenly became so wild? Why were his kissing skills so exceptional? What else would he do after the kiss?

Gu Yao could no longer tolerate it, and she quietly reminded, "Bai Yueguang, you have been acting like a lovesick fool all day long. Have you been enchanted? Wake up!"

Today is a rare good day for the Bai family, as Bai Zhenhua is finally discharged from the hospital after his wounds have nearly healed. Bai Mu is packing up in the hospital room, while Bai Song is huddled in the room, unwilling to step outside, only daring to run back and forth in this small space. Since Bai Yueguang returned yesterday, she has been acting strangely, hardly speaking at all. Despite everyone's inquiries, they could not get much out of her, so Bai Mu simply ordered her to assist Bai Zhenhua with the discharge procedures. Since Bai Yueguang returned yesterday, she has been acting strangely, hardly speaking at all.

At the entrance of An'an's hospital room, Professor Chen stepped out, followed closely by Lin Nanfeng, who gently closed the door

Su Linglong suddenly rushed over and wrapped her arms around Lin Nanfeng's waist, burying her head in his chest. Lin Nanfeng was taken aback by this sudden action and wanted to push Su Linglong away. However, to his surprise, he felt a dampness on his chest as Su Linglong began to sob softly, causing Lin Nanfeng's hand, which was poised to push her away, to lose its strength in that moment

Bai Yueguang said cheerfully: "I am revisiting the old site where my father was hospitalized."

This was originally a minor surgery, and Bai Mu planned to bring Bai Zhenhua home for a period of quiet recovery as soon as possible, to spare the whole family from the constant unrest—having to take turns keeping vigil at the hospital every day, running back and forth to the hospital, which was too exhausting

Lin Nanfeng smiled rarely and said, "Yes, An An is a superhero. She needs to get better quickly and become a highly skilled doctor to help many suffering people, okay?"

Bai Yueguang felt somewhat uneasy, as the atmosphere was too strange. It seemed they had not reached this stage, and besides, did he not have a beauty by his side?

An An walked over, shaking the arm of the white moonlight, and pleaded, "Sister, please take me for a stroll in the garden."

Perhaps in her subconscious, Bai Yueguang believed in Lin Nanfeng, which is why when Lin Nanfeng took the initiative to apologize, she surprisingly felt a sense of relief. However, she then thought that after all, she had no real connection with Lin Nanfeng, so why should she care whether he was embracing that beautiful doctor?

Yes, lips! Lin Nanfeng actually kissed her

Lin Nanfeng: "At that time, An'an's situation was already very dire. Her illness was unpredictable. If you had not come to accompany An'an, given the circumstances, it is very likely that she would have fainted alone in the ward, and no one would have discovered her."

Today the weather is particularly sunny, and An'an, sitting in a wheelchair, appears especially happy, with a constant smile on her face

Bai Yueguang quickly stood at a distance, bowed at a ninety-degree angle, repeatedly saying "I am sorry," not daring to look at this "terrifying" person. Before the other party could speak, Bai Yueguang was so frightened that she directly ran away.

Bai Yueguang pouted, and Bai Zhenhua chimed in from the side: "Yes, it's not for you." After saying this, he reached out his hand, only to have Bai's mother strike his hand once again.

The man with a half face covered in a birthmark was the first to rush over. He crouched down, covering half of his face, seemingly afraid of scaring the children. He spoke softly, saying, "Don't worry, little one, Uncle will go call the doctor right away." Without wasting a moment, he ran off frantically into the distance

Bai Yueguang cautiously approached, crouched down, and brought her trembling hand to Lin Nanfeng's nose. She was startled; why was there no breath? Bai Yueguang was terrified and quickly pushed Lin Nanfeng down to the ground, making her lie flat. In her urgency, she even forgot the first aid methods. She knelt beside Lin Nanfeng, frantically pounding on her chest without any technique, while shouting for a passing nurse.

Bai Yueguang crouched down and said to her: "I am looking for Dr. Lin, little sister, do you know him? He was just here making rounds."

Lin Nanfeng did not remain silent this time, but only responded to her with a terse question: "What about you?"

An An's eyes lit up with joy as she asked, "Really? Then am I not a superhero? A superhero who saves everyone!"

Professor Chen felt a surge of compassion upon seeing An'an's mother in front of him

Before the words could leave his mouth, Su Linglong interrupted him, raising her wrist that held the cigarette: "What? Is it not allowed?"

Bai Zhenhua put down the spoon and said, "Are you trying to surprise me? We are already an old married couple, so let's not go through that routine. Just take it out quickly."

As she turned around again, she suddenly bumped into someone, but the person seemed a bit "short". Her legs were struck by a hard object, causing her to fall headlong into the arms of a person in a wheelchair.

Unlike the gentle kiss from last time, this is a fiery and passionate kiss, reminiscent of the scenes in classic foreign films where the male and female leads are entwined—why mention foreign films? Because foreigners are more open, just like Lin Nanfeng at this very moment

As she raised her small fist and prepared to continue, Lin Nanfeng quickly sat up and grasped both of her hands. He rubbed his chest and said, "I think your teacher is going to be exasperated, unable to even perform the most basic rescue. What is this? A performance of breaking stones with the chest?"

The woman, who had been sitting at the door of the consultation room for so long that she seemed almost "frozen," suddenly stood up with a "swish." She got to her feet and staggered forward, nearly falling over, but fortunately, the doctor beside her caught her.

Ding! The sound of the elevator doors opening startled Bai Yueguang, causing her to tremble all over. As the elevator doors slowly opened, the fear within Bai Yueguang could no longer be contained.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, the hazy light seemingly adding a layer of "dreamlike" effect to the surroundings. The white moonlight gazed at Lin Nanfeng, who appeared enhanced by this effect, causing her heart to race and her face to flush with embarrassment.

Bai Yueguang saw Lin Nanfeng tightly embracing another beautiful woman while on her way to deliver chicken soup. At that moment, she felt no anger or any other strong emotions; she simply felt as if her strength had been drained in an instant and found it somewhat amusing. She felt ridiculous for her recent "daydreaming" and also for her own existence.

The white moonlight did not hear, still laughing

Lin Nanfeng quietly walked to the stairwell, standing by the window with a somewhat vacant expression. He had never been particularly fond of children, especially those mischievous and boisterous ones. However, the thought of such innocent and lovely children, akin to angels, who had yet to experience this bizarre and fantastical world... and the possibility of them facing an early exit from it, made his heart feel a pang of bitterness.

The person with the crutch said, "Alright, I will first go notify the cardiology department. I am not sure who Old Bao just went to inform, so I will make another trip to ensure everything is foolproof"

Bai Yueguang hesitated; she did not refuse the little girl's request, but she had only known An An for a few minutes.

Professor Chen and a group of people exited An'an's hospital room, and their expressions were evidently somewhat unusual after stepping out of the room filled with laughter and joy

A large group of doctors followed Professor Chen out one after another. Director Liu looked at the departing figure of the woman with some displeasure and turned to reprimand the assistant beside him: "What are you doing? Is the consultation room a place where family members of patients can come and go as they please? What if something goes wrong? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on it?"

Director Liu has a bad temper. Just as he was about to reprimand, Professor Chen waved his hand and interjected, "Forget it, just be more careful next time. The situation this time is special, and you have seen the mental state of the family member. How can we bear to blame them?"

The little girl giggled: "Are you looking for Brother Lin? Why haven't I seen you before? Are you his girlfriend?"

His voice seemed to possess a magical quality, swirling from the cochlea of the white moonlight and directly penetrating her heart, and she surprisingly remained obedient and did not move again

Lin Nanfeng: "You are mistaken, you are you, and I am I, I have friends"

The white moonlight gazed upon the lovely girl, as sunlight spilled onto her sickly pale little face, seemingly making her complexion appear a bit healthier, which finally brought her some comfort.

At this moment, as she entered the room, the light was ample, and Bai Yueguang finally noticed how pale the little child's face was and how weak her body appeared. Bai Yueguang could tell that An An was a lively and active child, but for some reason, she seemed to always hesitate to make any sudden movements

Su Linglong whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The feelings of people like us are fragile, yours must be the same, right"

Lin Nanfeng revealed the first smile in over a month: "Professor Chen came in the afternoon, and we talked a lot; I feel much better now"

Bai Yueguang is completely baffled; when did these two become so harmonious...

Lin Nanfeng did not respond, and Su Linglong did not require an answer; she merely used this opportunity to break the long-standing silence.

Bai Yueguang was taken aback; she even began to doubt whether Lin Nanfeng had just undergone a soul-transplant surgery. Is this still the Lin Nanfeng she knew? The ever-cold and indifferent academic benchmark in the family dormitory?

Lin Nanfeng did not respond to the words, turning his head to continue quietly emptying his thoughts

Professor Chen, with a face full of sorrow, helplessly said: "An'an has now reached a dead end; this plan is a 'desperate gamble.' Otherwise, continuing to drag this out will ultimately lead to..."

Mother Bai: "Send chicken soup!"

The words of the child were not pleasant to the ears of the adults present, yet everyone tacitly refrained from showing any unusual reactions. An An's mother felt somewhat embarrassed and was at a loss for a moment. As An An's treatment team, they had some understanding of An An's basic situation. Moreover, this was An An's second hospitalization; this lively child was a "little star" in the inpatient area, often running around, and over time, everyone had noticed this child.

On this day, an elderly man found himself at the bottom of the residential building.

The crowd agreed and then dispersed. Their group had recently been specifically responsible for An'an's condition. Due to the grim outlook of An'an's illness, which posed a potential life-threatening risk at any moment, frequent meetings and continuous research on treatment plans became their daily routine

Gu Yao elbowed her, and Bai Yueguang nearly fell to the ground

Just now in the hospital ward, the doctors from their team brought many toy gifts for An An, and everyone did their utmost to cheer her up. An An's innocent and bright laughter seemed to linger in the air, and she remained mischievous, pulling Xianya's hair one moment and tugging at Chen Shan's sleeve the next, seemingly full of boundless energy. Who would have thought that such a child harbors a heart that is precariously beating, one that could stop at any moment?

This is the first patient in Dr. Lin Nanfeng's career, but tonight, this patient has left their hands... The little girl who said just a few days ago that she wanted to be discharged to go to the amusement park with him is now no longer here

Bai Yueguang shook her head: "No, you need to seek your parents' consent first."

In the nearby flowerbed, three individuals were seated at a stone table, engaged in a card game. Bai Yueguang found them familiar and, as she pushed her wheelchair closer, she realized that these were the same three people who had frightened her into climbing the stairs some time ago: the man with a half-face birthmark, the uncle with a swollen face, and the grandfather with a cane

The white moonlight has already forgotten fear, only looking at them with gratitude. At this moment, they are not patients with physical defects, but angels

An An pointed to the hospital room and said, "I live here, my mother just went to talk to Grandpa Chen, she just left."

Just as she was standing on tiptoe to look around, she suddenly felt a tug at the corner of her garment. She looked down and discovered a pale-skinned little girl tugging at her clothing.

Lin Nanfeng: "How have you been lately? Are you doing well?"

Fortunately, the hospital ward beds have not been very tight recently. Bai Mu went to seek help from Lin Nanfeng, and after Lin Nanfeng made several efforts, the hospital finally allowed Bai Zhenhua to stay for a longer period.

An An pleaded pitifully: "It's just a quick stroll around the garden." As she spoke, An An pointed to the wheelchair by the bed and said, "Sister, there is a wheelchair here; otherwise, please push me down in the wheelchair."

Lin Nanfeng: "When will this treatment plan be implemented"

White Moonlight: "What happened?"

Hearing that the little girl was in this hospital room, she must be Lin Nanfeng's patient. With this thought, Bai Yueguang felt that she had gotten a step closer to him. She patiently opened the door and took An'an's small hand as they walked into the hospital room

He then walked directly into the bedroom of the white moonlight, and Bai's mother looked at Lin Nanfeng's back, unable to help but let out a long sigh: "Alas, these two children"

After watching them leave, Lin Nanfeng turned around, and a head peeked out from behind a nearby pillar, curiously looking around.

Bai Yueguang said with self-reproach: "No, if it weren't for me, An An wouldn't..."

How is that possible

On this day, the Bai family had just finished dinner when the doorbell rang. Bai's mother was somewhat astonished when she opened the door, as it was unexpectedly Lin Nanfeng. Lin Nanfeng smiled calmly and asked, "Auntie, is Yueguang home?"

The washboard is a nickname given to Bai Yueguang by Su Linglong based on her figure. In fact, Bai Yueguang's figure is already quite good, but Su Linglong, who grew up eating American food, has an even more voluptuous figure

Bai Zhenhua exclaimed: "You still say the same thing! I only have one chicken leg in mine, look at his, he has two!"

While the teacher on the podium paused to drink water, he caught a glimpse of the white moonlight. The teacher was very angry, and the consequences were severe. What is the most terrifying thing? It is not the distraction during class that is the most frightening; rather, it is the sight of a student grinning foolishly while a passionate teacher is showing photos of the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion.

Professor Chen sighed deeply, and Lin Nanfeng nervously asked, "Professor? Are we really going to use that plan?"

Professor Chen seemed to have his mouth sealed by something, remaining stiff for a long time. His gaze could not bear to look at this helpless mother, and he uttered three words: "I am sorry ... ... "

Before the rescuers arrived, Lin Nanfeng could no longer hold back and coughed a few times, opening his eyes. Bai Yueguang, seeing that her "rescue technique" was effective, thought that since he looked very tired and weak upon waking, it would be better to give him a few more hits, the more the better

It is not for you

Bai Yueguang lowered her head: "Not good."

After the meal, Bai Yueguang accompanied Bai Mu in the kitchen to wash the dishes. Bai Zhenhua sat on the sofa, feeling increasingly frustrated. He picked at his teeth and provocatively said, "Hey, bookworm, do you think you can play with our Yueguang looking like that?"

In the distance, a large group of doctors and nurses surged towards this side, and Bai Yueguang saw Lin Nanfeng among them. They took An An away, leaving only Bai Yueguang and three patients who had come to help behind. Everyone looked at each other, all letting out a sigh of relief. Lin Nanfeng had indeed noticed Bai Yueguang, but due to the urgency of the situation, he hurriedly left without saying a word to her. Although Bai Yueguang felt somewhat uncomfortable, she understood that saving lives was more important.

Do you want to suffocate yourself? This kiss did not last long, and it ultimately ended with Lin Nanfeng taking the initiative to withdraw. The reason is simple; he noticed that Bai Yueguang was too "immersed" and had forgotten to breathe

Bai Yueguang was holding a pile of data sheets, glancing at them as she walked. After passing by a massive object placed on the ground, Bai Yueguang hesitated and turned back, retreating. Why was Lin Nanfeng lying on the ground? ... He was completely still, drenched in sweat; it couldn't be ...

Su Linglong graciously introduced: "My new boyfriend has come to pick me up, and this time it is truly time to say goodbye"

The white moonlight brain seemed to suddenly become enlightened, thinking rapidly, and she replied: "Because I felt the happiness of life today"

This is for Nanfeng. I heard from Teacher Lin that this child has been very busy lately, having not returned home for several days, spending every day in the hospital. During our family's hospitalization, Nanfeng has been quite helpful, so I took the liberty of making an extra portion of chicken soup for him to help replenish his health

During the wedding ceremony of Bai Yueguang and Lin Nanfeng, the groom Lin Nanfeng suddenly went "missing," causing a state of panic among the Bai family. At that moment, Gu Yao received a phone call, and after the call ended, she walked up to Bai Yueguang.

At the entrance of the consultation room on the fifth floor of the hospital, a woman with a pale gray complexion sits on a chair outside the door. Her head is bowed low, and although the weather has already warmed up, she is unusually dressed in an out-of-season coat, clutching the collar tightly around herself, as if she is experiencing two different seasons from the others in the same world

Let us compare and see who plays the game better

An An could no longer speak, and beads of sweat began to form on her forehead. Bai Yueguang did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly called for help loudly. However, there were very few nurses here, and there was no one who could hear her. Bai Yueguang looked at An An's painful expression, and she could not leave An An behind to find a doctor on her own

The two gazed at each other, and Bai Yueguang was momentarily taken aback, while Lin Nanfeng remained silent. As the two exchanged a "deeply affectionate" glance, the corridor's sensor lights went out.

At this moment, the unsuspecting Lin Nanfeng finished his last puff of smoke and casually tossed the extinguished cigarette butt into the nearby trash can. Su Linglong also extinguished her cigarette and followed suit, throwing it into the trash can.

Professor Chen shook his head: "In the next few days, take good care of An'an. This child is naturally lively and active, so do not let her get too worked up, and maintain a good mood."

Bai Mu only handed him a lunch box. Since Bai Zhenhua fell ill, he had increasingly resembled a child. He happily took it, opened the lid, and the rich aroma of chicken soup wafted towards him, making him unable to resist taking several big sips. Once his thirst was somewhat alleviated, his gaze naturally drifted to another lunch box in Bai Mu's hand.

An An is my first patient, the first patient of my professional career, yet she... she left in that manner. I also have my own emotional knots.

An'an, do you understand that you must stay quietly in your room when your parents are not home

Lin Nanfeng nodded. After asking, Bai Yueguang once again leaned on Lin Nanfeng's shoulder; she truly wished to cry out all the sadness she had felt throughout the month

Lin Nanfeng smiled and said, "I just enjoy doing laundry"

An An pondered for a long time, her small face scrunched up as if she were truly and earnestly contemplating. An An looked around the room, from the flower pot on the windowsill to the fruit on the table, from the uncle on the far left to the sister on the far right. Suddenly, An An clapped her small hands, as if she had found the answer, and pointed at Lin Nanfeng: "I want to be him!"

Lin Nanfeng could not help but let the corners of his mouth rise as he looked at the delicate and alluring face of Bai Yueguang, emitting a soft "mm" from his throat

Although the two families live just one floor apart, this white moonlight is not the same as that white moonlight. As long as she can spend more time with Lin Nanfeng, she is willing to do so
