I hide the white roses behind me

Chapter 17 Time has passed

On the outskirts of Stockholm, a cool place near the North Pole.

The unremarkable school gate and the plain, square red buildings are the Karolinska Institutet.

In the place closest to the school gate, there is a red building with a simple and solemn appearance. It is a standard Swedish-style building. The interior decoration has the simplicity and fashion of a typical Nordic style, with large glass windows that absorb sunlight and a lot of greenery. The garden of plants contains a sense of transparency and vitality.

This is where the world-renowned Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine is judged.

The famous Nobel Forum Building.

With an almost pious mood, Hanyu Airi, dressed in school uniform, gently walked through the corridor with many photos of Nobel Prize winners in medicine hanging on both sides, and walked towards the end with a clear purpose.

There is a round table with a diameter of about two meters, which can accommodate more than [-] people. The table is decorated with a circle of soft leather. No one is allowed to put drinks or other sharp objects that may damage the table on the table.

This is the "altar", this round table is the round table for the selection of winners by the Nobel Prize in Medicine judging committee.

There was no selection today, and there were no members of the Nobel Prize in Medicine judging committee at the round table. It was as quiet as ever.

Cautiously stopping far enough outside the "altar", Hanyu Airi saw the backs of two familiar figures who were also standing outside the "altar".

"And finally, answer that question, Lin."

The thick figure with hands behind his back, and the deep male voice, looked extraordinarily solemn against the background of the "altar".

"Ms. Mikael?"

Hanyu Airi couldn't help but raised her steps forward to get closer, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't hold back.

She bit her lip, swallowed her throat, put her fingertips into her palm, and slowly exerted force, her knuckles turned white.

The person who spoke was her and Lin Zengxian's teacher.

She didn't know why the teacher brought Lin Zengxian here suddenly, and she didn't know why Lin Zengxian was often silent recently.

"Doctors should stand by the side of those who are suffering from illness. This is the only thing I am sure of now. If my treatment saves a life, I will thank all those who helped me. If the patient dies after my treatment is ineffective, This very heavy responsibility should prompt me to humbly review my own deficiencies.”

Standing beside the teacher, Lin Zengxian, also in school uniform, turned his back to Airi Hanyu's gaze, looked at the round table, and made every word solemn and clear.

"Really? I know, be mentally prepared, you will be very hard in the future."

Indistinctly, Airi Hanyu heard the teacher's sigh.

"Yes, thank you teacher."

Bowing deeply to the teacher, Lin Zengxian turned and walked in the direction of Hanyu Airi.

Seeing the look of "solemn" in Lin Zengxian's eyes, she didn't say much, bowed slightly to the teacher's back, then put her hand in Lin Zengxian's palm, and followed the man's footsteps.

"What happened?"

Walking out of the building, out of the school gate, to welcome the new holiday and the new sunshine, Airi Hanyu hugged Lin Zengxian's left arm, poked his head slightly and looked at him.

"I'm not going home this holiday."

Feeling the temperature of the sun, breathing in the fragrance of white roses on Hanyu Airi's body, Lin Zengxian raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and stretched out towards the sunlight that gradually enveloped the two of them.

"Aren't you going home? Are you going to stay at school?"

Although she didn't know what was going on, but she could feel the vigorous and positive emotions in Lin Zengxian's heart, Airi Hanyu smiled calmly, and raised her hand, fingers spread out, and stretched out towards the sun.

"Well, trust me, you keep saying I'm going to be a good doctor."

Turning to look at Hanyu Airi, Lin Zengxian took her hand and placed it on his heart.

"Believe me, I will always believe you."

In Lin Zengxian's memory, that was the best smile he had ever seen.

The sun was getting stronger and embraced the two of them thoroughly.

Until the field of vision is full of pure and fiery light.

……

"Airi..."

Opening his eyes, looking at the incandescent lamp on the ceiling, Lin Zengxian turned over and sat up from the sofa, raised his hand and patted his forehead lightly.

Ruge Hospital, the cardiothoracic surgery office was quiet.

It was a quiet night.

After getting up and leaving the sofa, putting on a white coat, Lin Zengxian opened the office door, stood in the corridor and stretched, and decided to take a walk in the hospital as a walk.

"Huh? Is there anyone here so late?"

Passing by the VIP ward, Lin Zengxian saw a man in a black sweater standing at the front desk, his face covered by a mask.

"Sorry, it's past visiting hours and I can't let you in without an appointment."

The nurse at the front desk very firmly refused the visitor's request to visit.

"what's the situation?"

There were two patients in the VIP ward that I was in charge of, and Lin Zengxian walked over there as a matter of course.

"Doctor Lin, this gentleman wants to visit."

The dialogue had been deadlocked for several rounds, and the nurse was having a headache on how to calmly persuade this stubborn visitor away, but when she saw Lin Zengxian, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, I know that my request will embarrass you, but I don't have other time to visit the hospital, can you please..."

Although wearing a mask, the other facial features exposed outside the mask, fair skin and slim figure are still enough to judge that this young man should have a good appearance.

"You, visit, who?"

Although he usually paid attention to etiquette, Lin Zengxian couldn't understand the fast speech and long sentences of the person in front of him, so he simply interrupted the visitor.

"I……"

He only uttered one word and did not continue. The visitor lowered his eyes slightly, frowned slightly, and his eyes wavered uneasily twice, showing hesitation.

"Already, beyond the time, no way."

Facing this person who was covering up and didn't speak clearly for some reason, Lin Zengxian expressed his attitude seriously, motioned to the nurse to let her follow the prescribed procedures, then turned and walked aside.

Now that he's here, he won't stand on the sidelines, but he doesn't need to act yet.

"Doctor, please wait a moment."

The young man reached out to stop Lin Zengxian, speaking hastily.

Lin Zengxian glanced down at the hand in front of him, expressionless.

"sorry."

The young man hastily withdrew his hand, and the gentle apology between his brows and eyes indicated that he did not mean it.

"You, visit, who?"

Lin Zengxian repeated the question.

The young man paused for a moment, blinked his eyes quickly, and breathed more obviously, and then met Lin Zengxian's gaze.

"Kim Taeyeon, I'm here to visit her."
