"It’s okay, it’s just a few steps."
"I’ll walk you out too." Shen Shuci followed along.
As Xiang Xiaoyuan left the ward, the old lady was still smiling and telling her to co and visit whenever she had ti. Watching the three of them leave the ward, she couldn’t help but laugh, "This young girl is quite shy, is she too timid to co in?"
Only Jiang Jinsang and Huo Qinqi knew the inside story. After exchanging a glance, one of them lowered their head again and continued playing their Minesweeper ga.
Tang Wan and Shen Shuci walked her to the elevator.
Xiang Xiaoyuan looked apologetically at the two of them, "I’m sorry to trouble you."
Tang Wan just smiled, "It’s not really trouble... Technically, you acted bravely back then, so I should be thanking you, not the other way around. Last ti you ca, you bought a lot of things."
"It’s really not necessary to co often."
"With you doing this, I feel a bit uneasy in my heart."
The last ti Xiang Xiaoyuan visited, Tang Wan felt a bit strange. Their relationship really wasn’t to that extent, and today there was a misunderstanding, she had to reevaluate this young girl.
"Back then, when I acted bravely, I didn’t help much, but last ti, thanks to you, I was able to intern at the hospital, so I..." Xiang Xiaoyuan’s voice was very small, as if she needed to try extrely hard to articulate each word clearly.
"Thanks to Wanwan?" Shen Shuci raised an eyebrow.
"I happened to et her and Doctor Zhou during the last interview. With my grades, it wasn’t easy to get the internship. I must have benefited from that encounter; I’m doing this just to thank you."
During the last chance encounter at the hospital, and having had a al with Zhou Zhongqing, the hospital isn’t that big, and there were quite a number of interviewees at the ti. News spread easily...
Even if Zhou Zhongqing didn’t say anything, once the hospital heard they knew each other, they’d show so leniency. As long as the grades weren’t too bad, they’d offer an internship opportunity.
Tang Wan was in a trance, rembering the words Jiang Jinsang didn’t finish that day...
[The favor repaid is more than just a al...]
But back then, Tang Wan didn’t think too deeply about it...
Shen Shuci simply said, "Maybe you’re overthinking it. Being able to intern here definitely relied on your own efforts; there’s really no need to co over every day."
"I..." Xiang Xiaoyuan bit her lip tightly, twisting her clothes with her hands nervously, "I have no ill intentions."
"I know." Shen Shuci, always direct, said, "I’m just letting you know there’s no need to visit and delay your work. Right now, you’re just an intern; you should focus your energies on your job."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Tang Wan, intending to pull her away. Unexpectedly, Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly called out in a trembling voice:
"Shuci Sister."
Shen Shuci halted, and Tang Wan was also taken aback.
"Maybe you don’t rember anymore. I didn’t expect to run into you last ti in Pingjiang. Actually..." Her voice was caught in her throat, "Visiting is secondary, I... just purely wanted to see you."
Shen Shuci then turned around, looking at her earnestly.
"You might not rember , we were all quite young back then." Her voice had a slight tremble, "At that ti, you were taken away by the Liang Family, and that night, you shared all your saved snacks with us. We were all very envious of you."
"Later, everyone was adopted one after another. We were so young back then, communication wasn’t as advanced as it is now, and many people didn’t want others to know they were born as orphans..."
"Being able to et you, I’m actually very happy, just wanted to see you."
Shen Shuci pursed her lips, "You recognized in Pingjiang back then?"
"You were on TV before, quite famous, but at the ti I was too shocked. I only recognized you at the police station later, but it seed like you didn’t rember , so I didn’t dare to speak up."
"Later, I asked you out for a al, and you didn’t show up?"
"I was busy working, really didn’t have the ti."
Shen Shuci just smiled, "When I saw the na, I did think it was familiar, but you’ve changed so much, I thought it was soone with the sa na..."
Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled shyly, "Didn’t expect you to rember ."
"I do rember."
At this mont, the elevator arrived. She pointed at the elevator, "Well... I’m leaving now, can we... keep in touch?"
"Mm." Shen Shuci nodded with a smile.
The young girl lowered her gaze, perhaps excited to reunite with an old friend after a long ti, her face flushed red. She greeted them and entered the elevator.
After the elevator door closed, Tang Wan looked at Shen Shuci in surprise, "Auntie, is she really soone you knew before?"
"At the Pingjiang Police Station, when I saw her signature, I had suspicions. But we hadn’t seen each other for over ten years; she changed so much, and there are always people with the sa na in this world. To suddenly ask if she lived in the orphanage, it wouldn’t be polite..."
