Huo Shenxiu bent down and frowned: "Didn't you go back?"
Su Mi hurriedly rubbed her eyes and sat up straight: "Well...are you done with the professor's work?"
Looking out the window, it's not completely bright yet, probably around five or six o'clock.
I slept by myself for an hour or two.
"Have you been waiting here?"
She nodded: "I was thinking of you alone... I was afraid that I would be too busy, so I stayed here with you."
His eyes moved: "Aren't you afraid?"
A woman was standing alone in the deserted corridor of the hospital in the early morning.
An old man has just left the ward opposite, which makes him a little intimidated.
Su Mi shook her head.
What's there to be afraid of?
After he passed away before, she came here in the same way.
Huo Shenxiu tucked her slightly messy hair behind her ears, took her hand and pulled her up: "I'll take you downstairs, and let the driver take you back first."
She hesitated: "What about you? Won't you go back?"
"I need to go to the funeral hall that has been reserved for Professor Liu and explain that there are also friends of his who were alive. They also need to send invitations to attend the memorial ceremony. You know, the professor has no descendants or relatives, so I can only give him full authority to take care of it.
.”
She hummed and looked at a ward in the corridor:
"Is Dr. Gu okay?"
He understood that she was probably still thinking about what Professor Liu had entrusted her with before her death.
I've probably been thinking a lot since last night.
He led her to change direction and walked towards Gu Qingruo's ward.
Su Mi walked a few steps before coming back to her senses: "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you ask Doctor Gu about it? Go and see for yourself." He led her to the ward without hesitation and knocked on the door.
After a while, a weak female voice came from inside:
"Come in."
The two of them went in.
Gu Qingruo felt much better after taking a sedative. She was lying on the bed and crying silently. When she saw Huo Shenxiu and Su Mi coming in, she shed her tears and said, "Second Master, Miss Su is here."
Huo Shenxiu asked: "Are you feeling better?"
Gu Qingruo nodded: "It's okay." She turned over and got out of bed: "...I want to see the teacher again."
Huo Shenxiu stopped him: "Professor Liu's body has been prepared to be sent to the mourning hall. Let's wait until the time of condolences to go over and send him on his last journey."
Gu Qingruo's eyes turned red again, and it took her a while to calm down: "Thank you for your hard work, Second Master. Originally, I, the student, should be solely responsible for taking care of the teacher's affairs."
"Professor Liu is my attending doctor and my benefactor. He is responsible for everything."
Gu Qingruo sighed: "I'm not familiar with Tancheng. I may need help from the second master for the funeral ceremony later. If there is something I don't understand, I may have to continue to trouble the second master."
Su Mi's eyelids twitched.
These words clearly indicate that she will still have contact with Huo Shenxiu.
And it was a legitimate reason that Huo Shenxiu couldn't refuse.
Huo Shenxiu said calmly: "It's okay, I will let Han Fei be responsible for the professor's funeral. If you need anything, you can tell him."
Su Mi's eyebrows relaxed.
Gu Qingruo saw that he was pushing the assistant, obviously avoiding dealing with her, and her face was startled. She glanced at Su Mi inadvertently, with a bit of ridicule in her eyes.
He also brought Su Mi in.
This was specifically to tell Su Mi that he had nothing to do with her.
Gu Qingruo didn't say anything, and said very self-awarely: "That's right. The second master is busy with things, so it's really not easy to disturb you all the time."
Huo Shenxiu said: "After the funeral, you can go back to North America first. Don't worry, I will comply with Professor Liu's wishes. If you need anything there, you can also tell Han Fei directly and he will help you arrange it. In short, Professor
I will not break your promise to me before you die."
Gu Qingruo's expression changed again.
The professor asked him to take good care of himself before he died. Where is the material care?
He knew it well but was deliberately vague.
He also took the initiative to ask her to go back after the funeral.
She remained calm and straightened her slender body: "No, thank you, Master. I have a legitimate job and a house in North America, so I shouldn't need Master's help."
Huo Shenxiu said everything he needed to say and didn't linger any longer: "Then you have a good rest."
After saying that, he and Su Mi left the ward.
He sent Su Mi downstairs, walked out of the elevator, and walked towards the car. Halfway through, Su Mi stopped.
He also stopped and stared at her: "Why, didn't I explain it clearly to Doctor Gu just now?"
Su Mi looked at him: "Professor Liu asked you to take good care of Gu Qingruo before he died. You know exactly what he meant... Do you really plan to let her leave after the funeral?"
Huo Shenxiu calmly said: "There are many ways to take care of people. Do you need me to sacrifice my appearance every time? I am not in a special industry."
Su Mi couldn't help but laugh, and asked cautiously: "Then didn't you lie to Professor Liu?"
He clearly promised Professor Liu last night.
"Professor Liu will forgive the white lie."
She said nothing more.
He took two steps closer to her and whispered: "Professor Liu said those words before he died just because he cared so much about Dr. Gu, a student, that he might not even notice you coming. You don't need to take his words to heart."
As long as Gu Qingruo is not in his heart, Su Mi is satisfied and doesn't care what others say: "I know."
He saw a blush on her little face, and she seemed to be in a much better mood, feeling much relieved for no reason.
I couldn't help but lean in front of her pink cheeks: "Are you not angry now?"
She was a little panicked and denied it: "I...I'm not angry."
"Then you're not jealous?"
"...I'm not jealous either!"
When she is anxious, her tone will be a little bit coquettish, just like a little girl.
He felt an inexplicable fever on the back of his neck. Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early in the morning and the private hospital was quiet with few people, he couldn't help but bully her and kissed her forehead unexpectedly.
She was stunned.
But he immediately regained his senses, slid his hand down to pull her, led her to the car, and asked the driver to take her back to Huayuan.
**
A week later, Suburban Research Laboratory.
After Gu Qingruo finished testing the medical equipment, she got down from the workbench and took off her gloves and mask.
Professor Liu's funeral has completely ended.
However, she did not follow Huo Shenxiu's wishes and return to North America immediately.
Instead, he moved to a research laboratory in the suburbs.
After the teacher passed away, except for the funeral, she almost never saw Huo Shenxiu again.
Huo Shenxiu didn't come to the research room much anymore.
If you want to know about the research progress, you can always call and ask Xiao Shao.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingruo's eyes seemed bright and dark, and she was lost in her thoughts.
It seems that Huo Shenxiu really has a crush on his ex, Su Mi.
I don't want her to have the slightest misunderstanding about him.
Even if she deliberately discredited Su Mi and ruined Su Mi's impression in front of Huo Shenxiu...
Still couldn't help Huo Shenxiu's feelings for his ex growing stronger day by day.
What is supposed to come will always come.
It's quite funny.
Now it is difficult for her to meet Huo Shenxiu, so how can she possibly destroy the relationship between him and Su Mi?
