Gu Baisheng called Zhang Tiantian every week.

Zhang Tiantian answered the call every time.

There was one time when the internet connection was good.

Gu Baisheng had a video call with Xiao Rong and Zhang Tiantian and saw them in the forest.

Behind them, there was a cabin.

It wasn't big and even looked a bit lonely on the mountain.

But Xiao Rong was smiling.

Gu Baisheng noticed his smile and knew that Xiao Rong was enjoying his life in Gui Town.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so happy.

Zhang Tiantian showed her the hare that they caught in the mountain, "Braised rabbit tastes so nice!"

"I feel that Xiao Rong gained some weight because you take good care of him."

Zhang Tiantian turned around to look at Xiao Rong on hearing this.

She looked so affectionate and shy, "The camera makes his face look bigger."

Gu Baisheng couldn't help laughing after hearing her words, "Is it true?"

Xiao Rong raised his hand to pinch his cheek and gestured smilingly, "You're right. I gained some weight. Look at my cheek now!"

Gu Baisheng smiled, "It's nice that you gained weight. It proves that Tiantian is a nice cook."

Zhang Tiantian asked, "When will you come to visit us, Dr. Bai? I'll cook braised rabbit for you."

Gu Baisheng was still in Gangcheng.

She hadn't finished Gu Cheng's surgery.

So, she couldn't find time to visit Zhang Tiantian in a short term.

After thinking about it, she said, "The earliest time I can visit you would be next summer."

"Summer?" Zhang Tiantian smiled, "It's nice to come here in summer, Dr. Bai! There'll be lots of flowers to watch and fruits to eat on the mountain. You'll like this place if you come to visit."

Xiao Rong was happy, and he gestured, "Are you sure that you'll come to visit us next summer?"

Gu Baisheng couldn't make the decision herself.

She turned around to ask Song Shuang's opinion, "How about going to Gui Town next summer?"

Song Shuang was looking for something next to the desk and he held up his glasses on hearing Gu Baisheng's question, "Why do you want to go to Gui Town?"

"To visit Tiantian and Xiao Rong."

Song Shuang looked cold, "Let's talk about it later."

Gu Baisheng was a bit embarrassed when she heard his answer.

She turned around to talk to Zhang Tiantian and Xiao Rong on her phone, "He's very busy with his work. We'll plan it and tell you ahead of time if we decide to visit you."

"Great!" Zhang Tiantian nodded, "You're welcomed at any time."

"We'll definitely come to visit you but we have to find a suitable time."

Xiao Rong gestured, "Don't work too hard! Take good care of yourself."

Gu Baisheng smiled when Xiao Rong showed his concern, "Don't worry. I take good care of... Blargh..."

She suddenly retched before she finished her sentence.

Before explaining to Xiao Rong, she put her phone on the desk and rushed to the bathroom to throw up.

Xiao Rong and Zhang Tiantian could only look at the ceiling.

They listened carefully to the sounds.

They could hear Song Shuang walking to the bathroom and taking care of Gu Baisheng.

Zhang Tiantian frowned worriedly and asked Xiao Rong, "What happened to Dr. Bai?"

Xiao Rong didn't know it either.

He waited for Gu Baisheng to come back anxiously.

In the bathroom, Song Shuang patted Gu Baisheng's back gently.

Gu Baisheng just threw up her dinner.

She suddenly felt pain in her stomach and kept vomiting.

Song Shuang frowned, "Why do you become unacclimatized after being here for a few days?"

Gu Baisheng was busy vomiting and couldn't answer.

Song Shuang patted her back.

After she had no strength to throw up, he brought her a cup of water and passed it over to her, "Rinse your mouth."

Gu Baisheng took a sip and rinsed her mouth before she spat it out into the toilet.

Then she stood up and tried to walk to the living room.

When Song Shuang helped her to the living room, she realized that she hadn't finished her video call with Zhang Tiantian.

She pointed at the phone on the table, "Could you please bring my phone to me?"

Song Shuang handed it over to her.

Xiao Rong squinted at Song Shuang's face.

Afterward, Gu Baisheng took the phone.

Zhang Tiantian asked her anxiously, "Are you OK, Dr. Bai?"

"I'm fine." Gu Baisheng felt much better after throwing up and she said helplessly, "After arriving in Gangcheng, I'm unacclimatized and I throw up very often."

Zhang Tiantian said, "You should rest more."

Gu Baisheng nodded.

She wanted to continue her conversation with Zhang Tiantian.

Xiao Rong gestured and wanted to check on Gu Baisheng, too.

But Song Shuang suddenly reached out and took Gu Baisheng's phone.

"She doesn't feel well now, and she will talk to you another day. Let her get some sleep."

Song Shuang's handsome face appeared on the screen.

He looked a bit cold and serious.

Zhang Tiantian was scared, so she nodded and stammered, "Well, please let Dr. Bai get some sleep, Dr. Song."

Song Shuang nodded gently.

He glanced at Xiao Rong's face carelessly.

Then he hung up the call.

After it was over, Song Shuang helped Gu Baisheng to the bedroom.

Gu Baisheng was unhappy, "It was not a big deal. I feel much better now and I still want to talk with them."

"You can talk to them whenever you want later. This won't be your last time chatting with them."

Song Shuang helped her to her bed and lifted the covers for her to sit.

Gu Baisheng put her back against the pillow and watched Song Shuang sitting at the bedside. When she noticed that he was wearing his glasses now, she couldn't help taking them off for him.

Song Shuang only wore his glasses during work.

So, he wore them occasionally.

He didn't have very strong glasses.

Therefore, not wearing glasses wouldn't influence his daily life and he would only wear them when necessary.

Because of that, Gu Baisheng rarely saw Song Shuang wear glasses at home.

And every time she saw it, she felt Song Shuang was too serious and more attractive.

"Why did you take off my glasses?"

Song Shuang reached out his hand to take his glasses from her.

Gu Baisheng wore the glasses herself.

Song Shuang took off the glasses for her when he saw it, "Don't wear other people's glasses. It's bad for your eyes."

"Don't worry. It's only a short time."

Gu Baisheng didn't think it would do her any harm by wearing his glasses for a few seconds.

Song Shuang was serious, "You can't wear them at all if they're diopter lens."

Song Shuang put the glasses on the bedside table.

Gu Baisheng noticed that he had been busy with his work all night long.

So, she was a bit worried, "Have you agreed on the date for Gu Cheng's surgery?"

"No, we have to stay longer in Gangcheng."

The main reason why Song Shuang was here was to perform Gu Cheng's surgery.

If he hadn't finished the surgery, he couldn't go back to Beicheng.

But Lu Jiacheng, Lu Jingsi's father, was waiting for his surgery in Beicheng, too.

Either of them could wait.

So, Gu Cheng's surgery had to be scheduled as soon as possible.

Song Shuang had been waiting for Gu Cheng's indicators to get back to normal, so he could perform the surgery.

"Can you finish his surgery before the new year?"

"Yes."

Song Shuang knew Gu Cheng's condition very clearly, so he could answer Gu Baisheng's questions right away.

"But it's very likely that the surgery will be scheduled on Thursday, the week after next week."

"Thursday, the week after next week?"

Gu Baisheng thought about it and realized, "Thursday, the week after next week is New Year's Eve."

"Yes." Song Shuang lifted his hand to pinch his eyebrows, "I thought I could finish the surgery earlier, but he has a heart problem. And his blood glucose and blood pressure are not normal either. The week after next week is the earliest time that his indicators can meet the surgical standards."

"I thought that we could return to Beicheng before New Year's Eve."

"I'm afraid we can't make it on time." Song Shuang smiled bitterly, "I think you have to stay in Gangcheng to celebrate New Year's Eve with me."

"Don't worry." Gu Baisheng smiled, "What matters most is the surgery. We can celebrate New Year's Eve in Beicheng next year."

Song Shuang smiled, "I'm happy that you think so."

Gu Baisheng touched her stomach, "I'm not sure whether my body will get better."

"We can see a doctor tomorrow."

Song Shuang said.

Gu Baisheng nodded.

Song Shuang raised his hand and caressed her cheek, "Go to bed now. I'll go to sleep after I get the files organized."

"Will it take long?"

Gu Baisheng asked him.

Song Shuang smiled, "Do you want me to join you?"

Gu Baisheng indeed thought so.

But Song Shuang hadn't gotten his files organized and he needed them at tomorrow's meeting.

She didn't want to disturb his plan.

She thought about it and said, "You can take your files here and I'll help you to organize them."

"Are you sure?"

Song Shuang wanted her to think it over.

Gu Baisheng said, "Just take them here. I don't want to sleep now."

"Is your stomach alright?"

Song Shuang lifted his hand and touched his stomach gently.

Gu Baisheng's pajama was really thin and she could feel the warmth of his hand. She couldn't help looking at him blushing, "I'm fine."

"Then I'll get the files."

Song Shuang withdrew his hand and fetched the files.

Gu Baisheng made some space for Song Shuang.

Song Shuang put all the files on the bed.

Gu Baisheng noticed that they were all about Gu Cheng's previous medical history, indicators and some data from abroad.

She instantly knew that the workload was heavy.

She was a bit surprised, "Do we have to organize all of them?"

"You can go to sleep if you're tired."

"No, I'll help you."

Gu Baisheng helped him to mark the important bits.

Song Shuang suddenly felt touched when Gu Baisheng helped him devotedly.

She didn't like organizing files.

But now she was willing to help him with that.

It was a way to show her care and concern.
