At the time of ringing up, Zhang Kai was about to go home by car.

While Gu Baisheng scolded him on the phone, "Zhang Kai! Bobo is so loyal and kind to you. How could you betray her! If you cease to be faithful, you can tell her honestly instead of cheating on her! You are just harming Bobo!"

Zhang Kai was dumbfounded by her, "What? What are you talking about?"

"You know better than me what I am talking about!"

Gu Baisheng sobered her calm voice up.

Zhang Kai could not make sense of it, "I'm just on my way home. But suddenly you gave me a call. What on earth happened?"

"I wonder what on earth happened! Why did you lie that you were jogging at night?"

Zhang Kai had been a policeman for a long time.

So he figured out quickly what Gu Baisheng meant after a short deliberation, "You doubt I was telling a lie?"

"Then how could you explain? I heard every word between you and the woman beside you. You are both disgusting!"

Gu Baisheng could not retell their dialogue calmly.

Her face turned red with anger.

Gu Baisheng was calling up him while walking around the house with fists clenched under Song Shuang's gaze.

Without doubts, she would have definitely punched Zhang Kai if he had been in front of her.

Zhang Kai recalled what he said to his female colleague.

He burst into laughter, "What the hell are you thinking about? I'm just..."

"Don't fool me! You mustn't be jogging at night!!"

Gu Baisheng interrupted him resolutely.

Zhang Kai knew lying would blow up the affair.

So he honestly told her, "I indeed wasn't jogging at night. I was pursuing a robber!"

Gu Baisheng was silent for a moment.

"Catch a robber?"

"Yes! Please recollect what I was talking about with my female colleague!"

Gu Baisheng thought it over.

Kai!

Please hurry up...

I'm done...

It sounded like they were having sex...

Gu Baisheng was still skeptical, "If I find you're lying to me..."

"Let me send you the photo of the robber."

Zhang Kai sent the picture on phone to Gu Baisheng.

There was a time stamp on the photo.

Gu Baisheng checked it to find it was the time when she called him.

She sighed with relief.

"Now can you believe in me?"

Gu Baisheng twisted her mouth, "Then why did you lie to me?"

"Recently, Bobo always has been worried that I would die in my post. Perhaps she was influenced by certain TV dramas... So these days I keep my assignments at night as secrets in fear of rendering her anxious."

"But why did you keep it a secret even to me?"

Zhang Kai laughed, "You are the best friend of Bobo, so I'm afraid you would tell the truth to Bobo and make her worried. Let alone I'm working in Gui Town far away from Beicheng."

Gu Baisheng recognized the truth.

She nodded and warned him, "I won't tell her, but you'd better explain clearly to her, or she would imagine bad things. Now she is suspecting you are cheating on her."

"I'll explain to her. Don't worry."

Zhang Kai could not wait any moment after hanging up. He phoned Qu Xiaobo immediately.

Gu Baisheng relaxed a little after getting the right message across.

She looked up to Song Shuang and found he had been reading a book on the bed for a while.

Song Shuang was quiet when she did the phone call.

It was too quiet that she almost forgot his existence.

She placed her phone on the night table and walked towards Song Shuang.

Song Shuang felt the light was blocked out by her and raised up, "Everything was done?"

"Yeah."

Gu Baisheng knelt on one knee on the bed and fell into Song Shuang's arms.

Song Shuang naturally accepted her hug.

He took her in his arms, "What on earth happened?"

"Zhang Kai was on a business trip to Gui Town where trouble would increase on holidays. He happened to meet a robber tonight. So he was not jogging but chasing the robber with a female colleague."

Song Shuang understood.

He could not help laughing.

Gu Baisheng raised up to gaze at him, "You also think it's funny, don't you?"

Song Shuang nodded with eyes looking at her gently, "Sure."

"I thought too much and misunderstand Zhang Kai."

Song Shuang stared at her, "In that case, everyone else hearing the dialogue must misunderstand him."

"It's too dirty," Gu Baisheng recalled the wheezes. She frowned in Song Shuang's arm, "You know, the dirty wheezes."

"That's right."

Song Shuang fondled her hair gently with his fingers.

Her hair was as soft as silk.

Freshly washed, the hair was still wet.

He twined her hair with fingers and his heart was softened.

"I would spend ten hours doing the surgery tomorrow."

"Well, let's sleep now."

Gu Baisheng knew ten-hour surgery required the best physical strength and energy.

It was important to get enough rest the night before.

Song Shuang dropped his gaze on her, "You are so considerable. Tomorrow is also Chinese New Year's Eve."

"I'm happy that I can spend New Year's Eve in Gangcheng."

Gu Baisheng looked up at him.

Song Shuang scratched her lovely nose," After the operation, I'll take you to go around this city."

"Yeah."

Gu Baisheng nodded.

Seeing her lovely countenance, Song Shuang realized this moment once was in long-long ago.

When was the last time Gu Baisheng lying in his arms talked pleasantly about Chinese New Year's Eve with him?

Three years ago?

Four years ago?

Or five years ago?

He thought he could no longer experience this moment in his life.

But out of his imagination, they were talking gladly about Chinese New Year's Eve in a cozy home together, again.

"Shengsheng," Song Shuang called her name.

She noticed his unusual.

She raised her head, "What’s up?"

Song Shuang gazed at her, "Let's spend every year like this together, shall we?"

"Of course!" Gu Baisheng said, "From now on, every year we can spend Chinese New Year's Eve like this year. Oh, the whole family will spend the day together, and I will bring my..."

The word "mom" was about to blurt out.

She immediately corrected herself, "I will bring my Auntie Hu, and if there is a chance, you can have your families with us."

"My parents will accept you."

The Song Family refused to accept her as his wife. That was simply useless recalcitrance.

As long as he never changed his mind.

What can the Song Family do with him?

He only loved Gu Baisheng forever.

No matter how much pressure his parents put on him, he would never cease to be faithful.

He would never let her go.

It was a deal.

Gu Baisheng smiled, "It's time to sleep."

Song Shuang dropped his gaze and got closer to her slowly. The tip of his nose touched the tip of hers. He kissed her.

It was such a soft and sweet kiss that it seemed to be a butterfly touching a raindrop.

Gu Baisheng fluttered her eyelashes. She read his secret words from his gentle eyes.

"You..."

"I want to serve you tonight."

Gu Baisheng bit her lip.

Song Shuang smiled slightly. He reached to switch off the night lamp beside the bed.

...

Gu Cheng's operation was under the spotlight.

The media got the exact time of Gu Cheng's operation.

All was camping out at the gate of the Gangcheng Hospital.

The reporters wanted to interview the surgeon and the persons in charge.

Song Shuang arrived at the hospital early.

Under the arrangement of Shao Tianze, he had already entered through the south gate of the hospital, before the reporters would stop him as the chief surgeon.

Those reporters waiting at the north gate knew nothing about this.

They thought Song Shuang hadn't arrived yet.

Shao Tianze sighed at the numerous reporters at the north gate from the windows of the conference room, "Reporters in Gangcheng are in such a hot pursuit."

Gu Baisheng kept silent.

She stood beside Song Shuang obediently.

She had already known something about the reporters in Gangcheng.

Those reporters were feverous about the private matters of giants and stars.

At the slightest sign of trouble, the reporters would be out in force.

And they were determined to get to the bottom of every matter.

Compared with the reporters of Yuncheng and Beicheng, reporters here were much crazier.

Shao Tianze pulled up the shutters.

Song Shuang was in good spirits.

No one could imagine what he did last night with full energy.

The meeting began at seven in the morning and lasted until eight.

The operation would start at 8:40.

The meeting was over. Every member participating in the surgery was preparing for the operation.

Gu Baisheng was about to change clothes in the dressing room.

Meanwhile, she heard the dialogues of some nurses who would be also in surgery.

"Well, the chances of success were slim. What if it failed?"

The nurse next to her replied while fixing the clothes, "Well, then we can only express our condolences."

Listening to their dialogue, Gu Baisheng suddenly said in courage coming from nowhere, "We won't let it fail."

Hearing her resolute words, the two nurses both looked towards her in surprise.

Gu Baisheng trenched her teeth, "Song Shuang's surgery never failed before."

"Never?"

One of the nurses could not help laughing, "Miss, you are too confident about him."

Three of them had already put on their masks.

So the other two did not recognize that they were talking with Song Shuang's wife.

The nurse blurted out one failed surgery performed by Song Shuang she knew.

"Dr. Song was impressive, but he also couldn't promise a 100% success rate. If he could, how could his son die?"

This sentence, resembling a sharp sword, hurt Gu Baisheng deep without precaution.

Gu Baisheng opened her mouth with no words out.

The other nurse asked, "Or...he failed on purpose?"

"No!"

Gu Baisheng blurted out excitedly in a very high pitch.

Both nurses were dumbfounded by this.
