Chapter 687: You Will Always be a Child
Guo Jinnian was feeling extremely uneasy, as if she had a thumbtack stuck in her rear, and couldn’t sit still.
Seeing this, Si Chen said to Tong Yao, "Come out with me, I need to go over this with you."
Tong Yao understood and immediately followed Si Chen. Coincidentally, they bumped into a nurse they knew who took the opportunity to greet them.
Si Chen just nodded lightly and led Tong Yao to his office.
It was almost time for his shift to end, there weren’t many patients left in the hospital. Si Chen casually closed the door behind him and quietly said, "It’s almost the end of my shift. Hongwei will stay tonight to take care of Jinnian. We should go home and bring some food and toiletries. She has to stay in the hospital for a few days until her wound stitches can be removed."
Tong Yao had already guessed that Guo Jinnian would need to be hospitalized for a few days. However, she was a bit surprised when Si Chen mentioned Hongwei would be taking care. She unconsciously asked, "Isn’t it inconvenient for Hongwei to take care of Jinnian at night? I mean he’s a man, isn’t it awkward when she needs to use the bathroom?"
Si Chen rubbed Tong Yao’s hair while he let out a soft chuckle. "Why are you suddenly so confused? They’re both grown-ups now. There’s no harm in them developing their relationship a bit more. Maybe this could be a good opportunity for them."
After Si Chen pointed this out, Tong Yao finally understood. She grumpily said, "I’m not a child anymore, so stop ruffling my hair."
Si Chen ruffled her hair again. "In my eyes, you’ll always be a child."
Just as Tong Yao was about to respond, they were interrupted by a knock on the door. It was a nurse asking about the medication for a cancer patient. Tong Yao stood silently as the nurse, who was new and had met Tong Yao for the first time, kept sneaking glances at Tong Yao while Si Chen was speaking.
