After sending the message, Yin Siyao leaned back in her chair, looking exhausted, and closed her eyes, wanting to rest for a while.
Post-operative fatigue overwhelmed my entire body like a tidal wave, and every bone in my body seemed to be screaming for rest.
But he remained on edge, knowing that Leng Keyan hadn't replied to his message yet.
Love really is a sweet burden.
With a sigh, Yin Siyao resignedly rubbed her sore eyes.
Undeterred, I picked up my phone, and the screen finally lit up.
Leng Keyan replied to the message:
"If you dare give the movie tickets and figurines to that intern, I'm running away from home. I'm serious this time, I'm not joking!!!"
It was followed by three angry exclamation marks, and the words conveyed a fierce and aggrieved feeling.
Yin Siyao stared at the line of text for a while, then couldn't help but laugh.
My nerves, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed completely at this moment.
A puppy is a puppy. Even if you're angry, just wave and coax it, and it will obediently wag its tail and come back to lick your hand.
Yin Siyao immediately typed a reply:
"Knowing there's a jealous person at home, I wouldn't dare give anyone else away. You stay home and sleep, I'll be back after my night shift."
The phone rang immediately after the message was sent.
Yin Siyao answered the phone, but before she could speak, a muffled voice came from the other end: "How did you know I didn't go back to my dorm?"
His voice was nasal, as if he had just cried, or as if he was holding it in, and also carried a hint of embarrassment and anger at having his little scheme exposed.
Yin Siyao leaned back in her chair, her voice soft yet gentle, like a slightly intoxicating cocktail: "You ran away just so I would coax you, didn't you?"
"Although I'm a teacher, I can't go to the boys' dormitory. So, the only place you can go is my house."
He had already guessed it when Leng Keyan ran away.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
You can hear Leng Keyan's soft breathing and the sound of the blankets turning.
"you······"
Leng Keyan sounded a little less confident, and her voice became even softer, "Since you already know, why didn't you just say so? Why... why did you keep sending me text messages to coax me?"
The tone was less of a question and more of a coquettish one.
Yin Siyao sighed.
The sighs were filled with weariness and helplessness.
"Yan Yan,"
Yin Siyao spoke slowly, as if carefully choosing each word, "Although I am much older than you, I am indeed not very used to the childish tempers among you young people."
"But I will learn to understand and be tolerant. Just don't run away when you're angry or block people so easily in the future."
She paused, then added, "Because it's you, I'm willing to indulge your little temper tantrums. I'll try my best to fulfill your wishes."
A person who has been working in society for many years and a student will have completely different ideas and values in many ways.
There was silence on the other end of the phone again, but this time the silence lasted even longer.
Yin Siyao could hear soft breathing and faint sobbing from the other end.
"Yan Yan, why are you crying? I'm sorry, I'm not good at comforting people. If I said anything wrong..."
"I wasn't crying, you misheard me."
Leng Keyan responded with a muffled voice, "I miss you, I miss you so much. Can I come to the hospital?"
His voice carried a clear sense of probing and anticipation.
Yin Siyao glanced at the time; it would be dawn in a few hours.
"no."
Yin Siyao refused decisively, "It's too late, don't run around recklessly. Go to sleep, I'll be off work soon."
"But······"
"No buts."
Yin Siyao's tone left no room for argument, "Don't stay up late, listen to me and go to sleep. I'll be right back after get off work."
Leng Keyan remained silent.
"Yan Yan, be a good girl."
Yin Siyao softened her tone and coaxed, "Even if you come to the hospital, I won't have time to keep you company. There are many patients tonight. Rather than sitting and waiting at the hospital, you might as well stay home and sleep."
"Then come back quickly."
Leng Keyan's voice sounded somewhat reluctant, "Run as soon as you get off work, no dawdling allowed."
"it is good."
Yin Siyao replied, "Go to sleep. Yan Yan is the best girl. I'll bring you breakfast when I come back."
"What kind of breakfast?"
"The pan-fried buns from that shop you mentioned wanting to eat last time, and the soy milk with sugar."
There was a rustling sound coming from the other end of the phone, and Leng Keyan turned over in bed.
"Buying breakfast will make it harder for you to get home..."
"I get off work early, and breakfast is on my way. There's no need to queue; it only takes five minutes."
"All right······"
Leng Keyan thought for a moment, "And..."
Yin Siyao asked patiently, "What else would you like to eat?"
"Movie tickets and figurines..."
Leng Keyan's voice turned fierce again, "You're not allowed to give it to anyone else, or I'll really get angry, and I won't be able to appease you."
Yin Siyao laughed again: "Okay, I won't give it to anyone else. Besides, it's so expensive, how could I bear to give it away so easily?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Keyan hung up the phone, satisfied.
The office fell silent again.
Yin Siyao put down her phone, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes.
The weight on my heart has finally been lifted.
That silly child, even though she was angry and felt wronged, she still couldn't help ignoring him.
Thinking of this, Yin Siyao's lips unconsciously curled up.
In the bedroom, Leng Keyan also put down her phone.
Yin Siyao knew she was waiting for him to coax her.
Yin Siyao knew she would be going to his house.
Yin Siyao knew she couldn't chase after him like a young man, shouting in the rain, begging him not to leave.
But Yin Siyao will love him in her own way.
Send text messages, reason with people, buy movie tickets, buy figurines, bring breakfast.
This is the most clumsy yet sincere tenderness that Yin Siyao, in his thirties, could give to him, who was in his twenties.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Yin Siyao finally finished her shift.
Standing at the hospital entrance, I yawned; my eyes were so dry and painful.
Despite her exhaustion, I went to buy the pan-fried buns and soy milk from the shop that Leng Keyan had been talking about for a long time.
On my way home, the morning rush hour hadn't started yet, the streets were quiet, and there were only a few pedestrians.
Downstairs in the apartment building, Yin Siyao looked up at her own window, which was dark.
Leng Keyan is probably still asleep.
I pushed open the door; the living room was quiet. The curtains were still drawn, and the light was dim.
Yin Siyao changed into slippers and placed breakfast on the table. She took off her coat and headed straight for the bathroom.
After a night shift and several surgeries, I was covered in the smell of blood and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
Hot water poured down, steam filled the air, and my fatigue seemed to melt away.
Yin Siyao closed her eyes and let the water wash over her body.
The orange-scented shower gel diffused in the air. Leng Keyan said he liked the scent, so he never changed it.
Twenty minutes later, Yin Siyao dried herself off, changed into clean pajamas, and walked out of the bathroom.
Leng Keyan was lying on the table.
She was still wearing pajamas, the neckline loosely revealing a section of her fair skin.
Her hair was messy, her head was resting on her arm, and her face was turned towards the bathroom door.
Most importantly, the two large dark circles under her eyes were particularly noticeable under the light.
Hearing the bathroom door open, Leng Keyan looked up and her eyes lit up instantly.
