"Ah?" Gu Nian was stunned, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he shook his head, "I don't know."
"Since my dad passed away, I have lost contact with his students in the medical school. In fact, I am not very familiar with Dr. Lu. I just happened to go to the hospital for a check-up and met him that day."
Gu Nian actually felt a little guilty when she said this. After all, she and the man had obtained the certificate and still lived under the same roof.
It's true to say that I'm not familiar with it.
Si Xue nodded, then winked at Gu Nian and said, "I had dinner with him a few days ago, and I felt... how should I put it, he still seems to have feelings for me."
At this moment, Si Xue's face actually showed a hint of a little girl's eagerness to try. She said, "I want to get him back again."
Gu Nian subconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, wanting to encourage her, but suddenly she felt a little breathless.
The beautiful face opposite her had a certain confidence that she must win, as if if she thought about it, the man would look back.
...He will indeed come back.
After all, Si Xue was right. How could Lu Shiqian not have feelings for her?
That is the person that Dr. Lu has been keeping close to his heart all these years.
Gu Nian's eyes fell on the air blankly, watching the people in the cafe come and go, just like the passers-by who would meet and be separated in this life.
Suddenly she couldn't stay any longer.
Gu Nian stood up: "Doctor Si, I suddenly remembered that there are still some internship materials that have not been sorted out. I have to go back first. We can make an appointment another day when we are free."
"Okay." Si Xue also stood up and suddenly asked: "Where do you live? Do you want me to take you back on the way?"
She smiled at Gu Nian and said, "We can interact more often in the future."
Gu Nian blinked helplessly.
Where to live? Not in your sweetheart’s apartment?
But how could she say this?
Gu Nian shook his head, "It's still the same address as before. If you don't get along, don't bother."
After coming out of the coffee shop, Gu Nian took a taxi directly back to Lu Shiqian's apartment.
She couldn't make sense of Si Xue's words today.
I wonder if she really has no one to talk to, or is she sensing something and testing her?
But it doesn't matter anymore.
She had already made up her mind to divorce Lu Shiqian.
Whether or not these two people renew their relationship will have nothing to do with her.
Gu Nian took out the key and opened the door. There was a pair of black leather shoes on the shoe rack.
She raised her eyebrows, he was back.
Gu Nian changed her shoes and looked up into the room. The blackout curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows were pulled aside, and warm sunlight shone on the carpet. The man on the chair raised his hand to support his chin, and held a case in his other hand to read carefully.
Facing the light, his whole body seemed to be coated with a golden halo, his angular profile was exquisite and three-dimensional, his eyebrows were deep, and his thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed as if there was a layer of mist, cold and distant.
Lu Shiqian turned around when he heard the sound, his face expressionless, "I'm back."
Gu Nian looked away and hummed, "Why did you come back so early today?"
"Um……"
Lu Shiqian changed his posture, raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows. There was a light blue color under his eyes, showing obvious fatigue, "I stayed up for two days in a row, and since I have no more surgery, I came back to rest."
"Then why don't you go get some sleep?"
When these words were spoken, Gu Nian felt a little regretful.
His tone was too concerned, but he didn't necessarily need his concern.
The man's faint eyes fell on her face, "Read this case."
He asked again: "Have you eaten?"
Gu Nian nodded, "Eat whatever you want, how about you?"
"have eaten."
Gu Nian sweated a little and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
"I'm going to take a shower first."
She said nothing more and walked towards the master bedroom.
This master bedroom was originally Lu Shiqian's room. It is decorated in a simple style, with a light silvery gray wardrobe and an off-white bed.
After getting married, he gave this room to her.
She was also lazy and didn't modify anything.
Maybe it’s because I feel from the bottom of my heart that this is not my territory.
So until today, there are just a few more dolls on the bed and two more carpets on the floor.
Nowhere in this huge house, from the living room to the bedroom, could one tell that this was the residence of a newlywed couple.
There is no intersection with ordinary daily necessities, let alone wedding photos and so on.
It's funny to say that when we got married, we didn't even discuss sleeping in separate rooms. It seemed like it was just the way it should be.
Do they both understand in their hearts that this marriage is just a temporary solution and will not last long?
That's why we treat each other with respect like roommates and don't disturb each other.
Gu Nian took a shower and wiped her hair with a lot of thoughts. When she came out, Lu Shiqian was still sitting in the previous place looking at the cases.
She thought for a while, sat not far from the man, and said casually: "I met Si Xue in the mall today."
Lu Shiqian paused for a moment, then turned over a page of medical records with an unsteady expression, "Yeah."
This reaction is wrong, why do you look so indifferent?
Do you want her to continue talking, or do you want her to stop talking?
"If you don't ask, what did we talk about?"
Gu Nian licked the corner of his mouth, feeling a little nervous, and felt that he and he finally had a common topic.
She knew very well that Lu Shiqian couldn't really care about Si Xue.
The man really raised his eyes and looked at her with a heavy gaze, "What did you say?"
His tone was not as indifferent as before, but seemed to have a questioning tone.
The expression on his face seemed to say, if you have to ask me, then you should make it clear.
Gu Nian raised his eyebrows.
This is the right reaction.
He should be concerned about whether he said anything to Si Xue that he shouldn't have said.
Just as Gu Nian was about to speak, the remaining water droplets on her hair almost fell and wet the wool carpet under her feet.
Lu Shiqian's eyes followed the dark water stains on the carpet, and he said with a not so good expression: "Go and blow dry your hair."
Gu Nian: "..."
As for that, how precious is your carpet.
But there was no doubt in Lu Shiqian's eyes. She dared not say anything in anger, so she had to stand up slowly, take the hair dryer from the drawer, and plug it in.
She deliberately turned the hair dryer on as high as possible.
The hot air blew out from the hairdryer, accompanied by a strong sound, venting her dissatisfaction.
Lu Shiqian noticed her childish movements from the corner of his eye, his deep eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, the wind suddenly stopped.
As soon as Gu Nian put away the hair dryer, the man spoke from behind her: "Keep talking."
She secretly gritted her teeth and asked Si Xue, was she so impatient?
Gu Nian turned around angrily and caught Lu Shiqian's sight.
At that moment, her anger suddenly disappeared.
What's there to be angry about?
Anyway, he never belonged to her.
Gu Nian tilted his head and said word by word: "What do you think I will say to her?"
She leaned over to pour a glass of water and took a sip.
"You..." Displeasure flashed across Lu Shiqian's brows, as if he had determined that she had caused Si Xue trouble, and his tone was a bit harsh, "She can't stand the stimulation now. She could do it in the first place..."
"I know."
Gu Nian interrupted him and said in a calm voice, "Stomach cancer?"
Lu Shiqian pursed his lips and looked at her with complicated eyes without saying a word.
To be honest, Gu Nian still admires herself a little.
Her husband, because of the behavior of other women, she could actually make a smile and said, "Don't worry, I didn't say anything."
After saying this, the expression on the man's face seemed even uglier than before.
She couldn't understand. He already said he wouldn't bully his sweetheart, so what else could he be angry about?
Lu Shiqian closed the case and stood up with a gloomy look, "I'm going to sleep first."
After saying that, he raised his feet and strode toward the room.
As she passed by Gu Nian, she could clearly smell the faint scent of sandalwood mixed with the smell of disinfectant from Lu Shiqian's body.
Her eyes subconsciously followed Lu Shiqian's back, watching him get farther and farther away from her.
At that moment, an impulse poured into Gu Nian's mind.
She didn't want to see Lu Shiqian's back like this for the umpteenth time.
Gu Nian spoke, her voice a little hoarse: "Wait a minute!"
The man's slender figure paused, and before he could turn around, he heard the girl's calm and clear voice coming from behind -
