Ji Shuyan scratched his heart and lungs as his desire for gossip was not resolved.
But Duan Zhi was obviously not going to continue. He turned over and covered himself with the quilt. After lying straight, he raised his head and smiled at him, “Good night, Uncle Ji.”
Then he closed his eyes.
Tsk.
Ji Shuyan thought, this guy is really not likeable.
He sighed. Knowing that he wouldn’t get an answer, he could only go to sleep silently.
This time, nobody disturbed him, and he fell asleep quickly.
Ji Shuyan’s accurate biological clock woke him up before eight o’clock the next morning. He frowned uncomfortably, his hand fumbled to pick up the phone by the bed and glanced at it with slightly opened eyes.
It was 7:55, five minutes before his alarm went off.
Ji Shuyan sighed, why do people have to work? It’s not like he wanted to take over the hospital himself.
In the beginning, he only tried his best to raise Ji Yuan well. Now that Ji Yuan has grown up, why hasn’t he retired yet?
He pondered painfully for five seconds, but still begrudgingly got up from the bed, brushed his hair, and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up.
When he passed by the sofa and saw the empty sofa with the quilt neatly folded into tofu cubes, he belatedly remembered that there was another person sleeping in his room yesterday.
Where is that guy?
He stared at the folded quilt in disbelief. He didn’t expect that Duan Zhi, who looked lazy, actually got up so early.
Ji Shuyan finished washing, got dressed and walked down. His face no longer looked like someone who was struggling to get up just a few moments back. The shirt with fine white lines on a blue background made him look extraordinarily refreshing.
He walked to the kitchen, and found Duan Zhi standing there, very familiarly frying eggs and toasting bread. His 1.9 metre tall frame made his kitchen table look pocket-sized.
Seeing him enter, Duan Zhi raised his spatula and greeted him, “Good morning, Uncle Ji.”
“Morning.” Ji Shuyan took a look at the kitchen counter, and found steamed buns, sesame balls, tofu nao, and fried dough sticks just bought from the store. It was a combination of Chinese and Western styles, and there were so many types, almost as if he was afraid of starving people.
He glanced at Duan Zhi.
Duan Zhi flipped omelette and explained, “I heard from Ji Yuan that you like Chinese breakfast, fried eggs and milk, so I simply made them all.”
Very sweet.

Ji Shuyan wasn’t polite with Duan Zhi either. He had gotten up early and was really a bit hungry. He took out the dishes from the cabinet and picked up a sesame ball to eat.
After swallowing half of it, he asked Duan Zhi, “Why did you get up so early? Your classes don’t start until 9:30.”
Duan Zhi transferred the fried egg onto the plate, “I couldn’t sleep, so I thought why not just get up and make breakfast.”
Ji Shuyan took another fried egg, “Why can’t you sleep at this age? Sleep more while you are young, otherwise by the time you’re my age, you won’t be able to sleep even if you want to.”
He sighed again; he really didn’t want to go to work.
It’s not like he can just not go. After all, this is his own private hospital. His father is happily living a semi-retired life where he can go fishing whenever he wants now that he has dumped the hospital on him.
The price for this is that he must start to work as an ox and horse.
He was clearly said to be the chief physician, but he already had many things pushed onto him at hand.
Duan Zhi turned off the fire and moved everything to the dining table.
Like an automatic follower, Ji Shuyan also took his bowl and sat down with him.
Although he looks like he doesn’t want to face the sorrows of life, he eats without hesitation. His cheeks were slightly bulging, like a hamster storing food.
Duan Zhi’s hands itched to poke it.
But if he really did this, Ji Shuyan would probably smash the bowl on his head.
He had to give up this idea. He sat down, took a bowl of tofu nao, tore the fried dough sticks and soaked them in the tofu nao.
Ji Shuyan showed a disgusted expression from across the table, “What kind of dark cuisine are you making? The fried dough sticks are not even crispy anymore.”
Duan Zhi wiped his hands, “My family eats it like this.” He scooped up a spoonful and asked, “Do you want to try?”
“Absolutely not.”
Ji Shuyan quietly finished his bowl of tofu nao. His depressed mood was finally soothed a little by the food.
He wiped the corners of his mouth, rinsed his mouth in the first-floor bathroom, and then stood up to get his briefcase and car keys.
He said to Duan Zhi, “I’m going to work. You and Ji Yuan can go to college by yourselves. If you want to drive, I have a car in the garage. Ji Yuan knows where the keys are.”
After saying that, he went to the door to change his shoes.
Duan Zhi slowly walked him to the door. Still wearing Ji Shuyan’s home clothes, his gorgeous facial features were particularly attractive in the morning light.
Ji Shuyan looked up, thinking that if outsiders saw this scene, they would most definitely think that the two of them must have been fooling around last night.
But Duan Zhi was thinking that his Uncle Ji was really not simple. He said that he wanted to keep a distance from him, yet he let him drive his car around casually.
How could he not be distracted and think wildly?
He thought rather sorrowfully, I also don’t want to be such an idiot, but it’s Ji Shuyan who had nothing to do other than bait me!
Seeing that Ji Shuyan had changed his shoes, he handed the briefcase to Ji Shuyan, “Be careful on the road.”
Ji Shuyan took it over, feeling something weird in his heart.
He and Duan Zhi were not familiar to this point, right?
But the person had already stayed overnight yesterday, and they had had a “frank exchange” at night, so it seemed redundant to be too pretentious.
He nodded, “Got it.” And then walked away without looking back.
Duan Zhi looked at his disappearing figure, and remembered what Ji Shuyan said last night, that he had seen him before he was brought back by Ji Yuan.
But what Ji Shuyan didn’t know was.
Before he knew Ji Yuan, he had met Ji Shuyan.
It was also winter, and he was standing in the station with an umbrella stuffed in his hand.
He raised his eyes and saw a distant figure, wearing a camel-coloured coat, with a lean and tall back. His swan-like neck was exposed under his black hair, white and beautiful, shining like a precious pearl in the crowd.
He has never been able to forget that sight, even to this day.
The first thing Ji Shuyan did once he reached the hospital was to turn on the computer and look at the day’s work schedule. Then, he went to take rounds, inquiring about the patients he was taking care of one by one, at the same time, leading the newly appointed doctors.
Bed 06 was a five-year-old girl named Zhang Rui, who was hospitalised due to congenital heart disease and atrial septal defect.
She had just finished the breakfast provided by the hospital and was playing with a doll on the bed. When she saw Ji Shuyan coming, she smiled sweetly, “Hello, Doctor Ji.”
She learned that his name is Ji Shuyan from the adults. Both her parents called him Dr. Ji Shuyan, so she followed suit.
Ji Shuyan also smiled a little, “Hello.”
He took a sterilized toy from his pocket and handed it to her, “It’s for you.”
Children always like this kind of surprise. So did Zhang Rui, who patted the bed happily.
Ji Shuyan rubbed her head and began to ask the routine questions which Zhang Rui answered very obediently.
Her parents are very busy, so they can’t be with her all the time. So, the nurse sitting by the bed, helped Zhang Rui with some questions that children can’t answer.
He is a cardiac surgeon. He has long been used to seeing life and death and will treat patients with a professional attitude. But this little girl was so obedient that she always reminded him of Ji Yuan when he was a child. Sometimes, he can’t help but be a bit gentler to her.
“Little Zhang Rui behaved very well today as well.” He imitated the other doctors to coax children, but he was nondescript, and his tone was a bit stiff.
It can’t be helped, the only child he has ever coaxed is Ji Yuan.
Fortunately, Zhang Rui was very convinced. She nodded, forming a fist with her hands, making her soft flesh tremble, “Mmm!”
Ji Shuyan smiled, but then saw the needles attached to the child’s hand, and his smile faded again.
He exchanged a few words with Zhang Rui, and then went to check on other patients of which some needed adjustments to the treatment plan. After a busy morning, he only had time to sit down and eat a bowl of noodles at noon. He closed his eyes and rested for barely half an hour when it was time for another meeting with the hospital department.
When Ji Shuyan entered the house again, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening. He didn’t get off work too late today.
He pushed the door open and hung the car keys in the foyer.
The villa was pitch black, so quiet that no sound could be heard, only his own shadow was reflected on the floor.
Ji Shuyan stood in the doorway for a few seconds. The summer vacation had just passed. A while ago, Ji Yuan lived at home every day and yesterday, he came back with Duan Zhi. Although it was a bit noisy, it was also lively.
Today, the house felt cold and deserted and a kind of lonely emotion grew inside him.
He walked into the kitchen, ready to drink cold water, and check out what to eat. He had been treating patients till now, and he hadn’t had dinner yet.
But when he opened the refrigerator, he was stunned.
There was a fresh-keeping container on the second shelf with a sticky note on it.
When he took it down, he saw “Midnight snack for Uncle Ji” in bold and clear characters.
Ji Shuyan looked at it for a few seconds, it was obviously written by Duan Zhi. Ji Yuan’s characters were standard, and he would not call him “Uncle Ji”.
He took out the fresh-keeping container and found that there were two rice balls inside, both of which were not too big, but the fillings were stuffed bulging.
He took the rice balls out, heated them briefly and then ate them with hot milk. The taste was mediocre, but crab sticks and beef were both his favourites. They could quickly soothe a burning stomach on a tiring night.
While washing the cups, Ji Shuyan blushed and thought, next time Duan Zhi comes to stay overnight, he can reluctantly prepare a suitable set of household items for him.
