Feeling that it was unusual for the 2 of them to be mendacity collectively, Yi Zhize obtained off the bed, went into the toilet and took a bathe.

After washing up, Ou Tingyun was nonetheless sleeping soundly.

Yi Zhize helplessly known as him once more and mentioned, “Dr. Ou, it is nearly eight o’clock.”

“I will be out of right here at eight thirty to go to work, so make your self at residence.”

Ou Tingyun stared at Yi Zhize together with his slender eyes and whispered, “Zhize, you are too insensitive. Final evening you have been so drunk that I carried you to mattress via the ache of my wound. Now, you are leaving me to go to work by your self?”

Yi Zhize immediately felt responsible: “The wound has break up open once more?”

“Mmm.”

“Sorry, I am going to make breakfast now and take you to the hospital later.”

“I will not.”

“Let me borrow it first, then I am going to wash it and return it to you.”

“No have to return it.”

“Zhize is an efficient cook dinner, this omelette is scrumptious. Are you able to educate me someday?”

“No time.”

Ou Tingyun was persistent: “I’ve injured my hand, so I am unable to drive for some time, you must drive me to and from work.”

Yi Zhize completed his final sip of sizzling milk, “Okay.”

After breakfast, Ou Tingyun was taken to the hospital earlier than Yi Zhize went to work on the legislation agency.

An Rong, who had stayed up all evening engaged on supplies, greeted him with two darkish circles underneath her eyes, “Good morning, Mr. Yi. I assumed you were not coming.”

“How come?”

“You often come to work on time at 9 o’clock.”

An Rong instantly confirmed an understanding smile: “I do know, Mr. Yi is taking good care of the one that acted bravely yesterday, Mr. Ou. Proper?”

“Mmm.”

“How good.”

Yi Zhize: ……

When Ou Tingyun arrived on the workplace, You Shirui was finding out her papers, “Good morning, Instructor Ou.”

“Good morning.”

Her eyes sharply noticed one thing improper with the garments Ou Tingyun was sporting: “Instructor Ou, your outfit immediately appears a bit tight?”

“Sure, it’s kind of small. I did not go residence final evening, so I borrowed another person’s.”

“Oh.” You Shirui could not resist her nosy coronary heart and was deliberating the best way to ask.

To her shock, Ou Tingyun took the initiative and mentioned, “Guess whose it’s?”

“Instructor, you will have so many associates, how can I suppose?”

“Yi Zhize.”

“Mr. Yi!” You Shirui was excited, “You and him are already so shut, Instructor?”

“En.” Ou Tingyun mentioned solemnly, “Constructing a steady and intimate relationship of belief with a affected person is a should for a psychological counsellor.”

You Shirui checked out him with admiration, “You are proper, Instructor!”

She observed Ou Tingyun’s gauze-covered proper hand and was shocked, “Instructor, what occurred to your hand?”

Ou Tingyun smiled, “It is a crucial sacrifice to construct a trusting relationship.”

At 5pm, Yi Zhize remembered that he had promised Ou Tingyun to take him to and from work, so he packed his belongings and ready to depart the workplace.

An Rong was ingesting a cup of espresso and doing a little paperwork. When she noticed Yi Zhize’s intention to depart, she was shocked: “Mr. Yi, you have modified.”

Yi Zhize was puzzled: “What is the matter?”

“You by no means used to depart work on the proper time!”

Yi Zhize: ……

An Rong’s eyes have been shining: “Is it due to Mr. Ou once more?”

After selecting up and dropping off Ou Tingyun, Yi Zhize was driving residence when he all of a sudden acquired a cellphone name.

The particular person on the opposite finish of the cellphone claimed to be a health care provider from the emergency division of the A Metropolis Medical College Hospital. His grandfather Xie Decheng was taken to the hospital for emergency therapy attributable to a sudden coronary heart assault and requested him to hurry to the scene instantly.

Xie Decheng was the one household he had in A Metropolis and the elder he cherished probably the most.

On account of his superior age, Xie Decheng had at all times had coronary heart issues and it occurred so all of a sudden this time that Yi Zhize was somewhat panicked.

When he arrived on the emergency division of the hospital, Xie Decheng was mendacity quietly on a hospital mattress, his face peaceable.

“You are Xie Decheng’s relative?”

“En.”

“He had a slightly acute assault, however fortuitously he has been resuscitated.”

Yi Zhize was then relieved: “Thanks.”

The physician waved his hand, “It is best to thank this younger man extra, he introduced him to the hospital.”

Yi Zhize appeared to 1 aspect and instantly froze in place.

He hadn’t anticipated to see Mu Xin once more in such a scene – the pianist who had spoken just a few phrases to him.

Mu Xin smiled at him.

Yi Zhize had plenty of issues he needed to ask, however did not know the place to start out.

“What a coincidence.”

“Thanks.”

The 2 males’s phrases rang out nearly concurrently.

Yi Zhize fell into silence once more.

Mu Xin mentioned, “We could go exterior and discuss?”

Rigorously closing the door of the ward behind them, the 2 went to the window within the hall.

Mu Xin defined, “Mr Xie and I stay in the identical neighbourhood. Within the afternoon, I had simply completed a music workshop, and on my manner again, I occurred to stumble upon Mr. Xie all of a sudden collapsing on the roadside, so I introduced him to the hospital. Mr. Xie was extra cautious and had his paperwork and your contact data with him, so the hospital was in a position to notify you in time.”
