The Golden-Eyed Life of a Security Guard

Di Liuyue returned to her home and threw all the clothes that Gu Yuebai had bought for her on the floor.

Lying on the bed, tears streamed down my face.

Gu Yuebai was unaware of Di Liuyue's true feelings; he assumed that Di Liuyue was merely pretending to be his girlfriend to deceive his mother.

The next day at daybreak, he took a plane back to Yuncheng.

At the Song family clinic, Song Lan hadn't seen Gu Yuebai for the past few days. She asked Wu Yueming, but he didn't know where Gu Yuebai had gone either.

Knowing that she could reach him by phone, Song Lan felt too embarrassed to contact Gu Yuebai.

She's been staying at the clinic these past few days. Even when Liu Xiang comes to see patients, she doesn't have the energy to deal with him.

But the more she saw Liu Xiang, the stronger her longing for Gu Yuebai seemed to become.

She had never felt this way before when she was with Hu Zhiwei. Even when they first met, and Hu Zhiwei pursued her every day, she never missed him.

Liu Xiang now sees patients in Song Lan's clinic, and with his title as the chief surgeon of the People's Hospital, more and more people are coming to Song's clinic for treatment.

Before, when Gu Yuebai was at the clinic, not many people came for consultations. After Liu Xiang came, the clinic became much busier.

Moreover, Liu Xiang always used the heroic deeds of Gu Yuebai, who treated more than 3,000 patients at the People's Hospital, to promote his work, which aroused people's curiosity about the young miracle doctor Gu.

But the more this happened, the deeper Song Lan's longing for Gu Yuebai became.

Feeling unacceptable, going deeper.

This is perhaps a true reflection of Song Lan.

They first met at Yunlu Mansion, when he was just a security guard.

Song Lan lives alone in her empty room. Whenever she needs rice, oil, or water delivered to her home, she often contacts Gu Yuebai to provide door-to-door service.

At that time, I didn't think Gu Yuebai was particularly outstanding.

Later, when Hu Zhiwei's affair was exposed, Gu Yuebai told her about it, and at that time she hated Gu Yuebai to the core.

On the night she agreed to divorce Hu Zhiwei, he forced himself on her. At that moment, she thought that marrying Hu Zhiwei was the biggest mistake of her life, and that she would have been happier if she had married a security guard.

When the Song family clinic was in trouble and Zhou Rong and her daughter were in critical condition, the first person she thought of was Gu Yuebai.

Gu Yuebai came to her when she was most helpless and vulnerable.

Perhaps it was Gu Yuebai who entered her heart that made Song Lan fall deeply in love with him.

Or perhaps, it's in an unintentional caress, in the moment of mutual fusion, that one becomes completely devoted to him.

She only became so jealous and uncontrollably so when she discovered that more outstanding girls were getting closer to him.

She cried at home, but Gu Yuebai left.

If Song Lan hadn't overheard Gu Yuebai and his mother's conversation, she would still be sulking.

She idly twirled a pen on a makeshift table at the far end, her head drooping on her arm, her mind constantly thinking of Gu Yuebai and all the little things they had shared.

As dusk settled, Song Lan watched the patients gradually leave. Occasionally, a white shirt would make her feel a sense of disorientation, as if Gu Yuebai had returned.

Liu Xiang packed her things and came to Song Lan's desk. "Xiao Song, I'm leaving get off work now. I'll come back to see patients next Sunday."

Song Lan barely came to her senses and awkwardly agreed.

"Little Song, when is Doctor Gu returning?"

Liu Xiang lost the last bet, but he genuinely admired Gu Yuebai's medical skills and was hoping to learn a thing or two from him.

"I don't know either... Perhaps he won't come back." Song Lan said bitterly, "Director Liu, he's no longer here. You don't need to keep your promise and come to the clinic every week to see patients anymore."

Liu Xiang, however, was very stubborn. He immediately raised his hand and said, "No, I'm the kind of person who can afford to lose and let go. Since I've lost, I must keep my promise."

"Alright then, thank you for your hard work. It's time for you to go back and rest."

After seeing Liu Xiang off, Song Lan looked around at the clinic entrance but didn't see Gu Yuebai. She dejectedly returned to the medicine cabinet counter and stroked the stone ladle, which seemed to still retain Gu Yuebai's body heat.

She slumped back into the innermost cubicle, slumped over the table, her long hair obscuring her face.

"Sister Lan."

"Moonlight White?"

She stood up instantly and rushed outside.

The pharmacy clerk looked at Song Lan awkwardly and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister Lan, I'm about to leave work. Do you need me to lock the door?"

It was the waiter calling. Song Lan shook her head in disappointment: "No need, I'll stay a little longer. I'll lock the door myself."

"Then I'm leaving."

"Let's go."

The waiter left, and as dusk settled, the dim neon lights shone into the clinic, illuminating Song Lan's fair and pretty face, making her appear exceptionally beautiful.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to sit by the Ruijiang River, where she might still be able to sense Gu Yuebai's presence.

She pulled down the roller shutter door and locked it herself.

"Sister Lan!"

A shout came from behind.

Song Lan felt her heart skip a beat; the voice sounded like Gu Yuebai's.

Is it him?

Or is it just my own hallucination?

She slowly stood up and turned around.

When she finally saw Gu Yuebai, dressed in a short-sleeved white shirt and light blue jeans, pulling a suitcase, standing in front of her, her heart clenched.

Gu Yuebai opened her arms, waiting for Song Lan's embrace.

Without hesitation, Song Lan rushed to him and threw herself into his arms.

She hugged Gu Yuebai tightly around the waist, tears streaming down her face.

"I thought...I thought..."

Gu Yuebai hugged Song Lan tightly, stroking her hair. "What did you think? Did you think I wouldn't come back?"

"I hate you! Gu Yuebai! Why didn't you give me any news? I looked for you everywhere—the hospital, the Imperial Garden, the Ruijiang River—everywhere you might go. But I couldn't find you..."

Song Lan wept as if lamenting, her longing, at this moment, like aged wine, finally revealing its true flavor.

"Fool, I had some business to attend to and went to Kyoto. I stayed there for a day and then rushed back."

Song Lan raised her head, her eyes misty and filled with tears, and looked at him.

"What are you going to Kyoto for?"

Gu Yuebai flashed his signature smile. "I can't say."

"Hmph, out chasing girls again, huh?"

Gu Yuebai felt a little flustered, but he didn't show it.

He remained silent for a while before Song Lan realized she had said the wrong thing again, and quickly explained, "I didn't mean to interfere with you, I just..."

"Just jealous?" Gu Yuebai's lips curled up slightly.

Song Lan patted Gu Yuebai's chest. "I love you, I love you so much. Gu Yuebai, I can't live without you. You've been gone for so few days, and I feel like I've lost my soul. I'm always absent-minded."

"Really? Then I'll treat you to something nice tonight. Hehe."

"You're so bad!"

Gu Yuebai pulled Song Lan along, hand in hand, walking happily.
