Song Shuang led Gu Baisheng into the consulting room.

He closed the door.

Then, Gu Baisheng had heartburn.

She grasped her clothes over her chest.

Seeing that, Song Shuang opened the window immediately.

In the winter of Gangcheng, a cold wind came in through the window.

People would be chilled.

Gu Baisheng's hair was blown in the wind. She was no longer angry or impetuous.

Song Shuang poured her a cup of water.

He gave it to her.

Gu Baisheng looked up at him. She pressed her lips together as she was sorry. Then, she held the cup, sipped the water, and apologized, "I'm sorry that I made trouble for you."

Song Shuang pulled a chair and sat beside her. He looked at her and asked, "Why did you become so emotional?"

"Many people are talking."

Gu Baisheng didn't want to look into his eyes.

She still remembered what the two nurses said in the dressing room.

"What do you mean?"

Song Shuang did not understand her.

Gu Baisheng put the cup on the table and grasped Song Shuang's hand, "Shen is your son, but they said that he wasn't!"

"That's not true."

Song Shuang said calmly.

Gu Baisheng's was assured. She continued, "That was what I said, but they didn't stop gossiping. They said that you killed Shen and you didn't want to keep him at all. And..."

"They were talking nonsense," Song Shuang interrupted her and held her hand. He looked at Gu Baisheng seriously and said, "Shen is my son and I love him. I would die for him if I could bring him back to life. I've never seen him as a problem. He is the best gift I've received from you, Shengsheng."

Gu Baisheng stared at Song Shuang.

Her eyes were wet when she heard Song Shuang's words.

She suddenly wanted to cry.

But she felt something wrong.

It seemed that she had opened Pandora's box. She thought of many things.

However, it was difficult for her to think of everything.

She couldn't figure them out even though she wanted to.

Things were complicated in her head.

She held her head.

Song Shuang looked at her worriedly, "Do you have a headache again?"

Gu Baisheng shook her head, "I feel unwell."

"Take a rest first."

Song Shuang helped her to sit on the sofa.

Gu Baisheng looked up at Song Shuang, "Is the operation about to begin?"

Song Shuang nodded, "Yes."

There were only 20 minutes left.

Gu Baisheng held her head sadly, "My head is jumbled. I can't perform this operation, Song Shuang."

Song Shuang consoled her gently, "That's fine."

"But they don't believe you."

She looked at Song Shuang earnestly, "I said that you could perform this operation. But they said they didn't believe you as you failed in your son's operation."

"Do you believe me?"

Song Shuang asked her.

Gu Baisheng nodded, "I believe you."

"That's good enough," Song Shuang touched her face and smiled, "I don't care whether they believe me. I'm encouraged as long as you believe me."

Gu Baisheng stared at Song Shuang in a daze.

Song Shuang knew nothing about sweet talk.

He never sweet-talked to make Gu Baisheng happy.

His sweet talk was what he had in mind.

Gu Baisheng threw her arms around Song Shuang's neck.

Song Shuang was hugged. He patted her back and said, "Have a good sleep. We will have dinner at home and spend New Year's Eve together after I finish the operation."

Gu Baisheng embraced him and nodded, "I'll be waiting for you."

A colleague of Song Shuang came to Song Shuang's consulting room and saw him consoling Gu Baisheng.

Seeing it, his colleague immediately took a step back.

But Song Shuang already knew that somebody was there.

He turned around and saw his colleague taking a step back.

As soon as Song Shuang saw his colleague, he knew that it was time for the operation and Shao Tianze asked someone to inform him.

He said to Gu Baisheng gently, "I'm going to perform the operation."

"Try your best."

"OK." Song Shuang said.

Gu Baisheng then let Song Shuang go.

Song Shuang smiled, "Won't you kiss me to encourage me?"

Gu Baisheng was a bit surprised.

Song Shuang smiled and kissed her forehead, "That's OK. Let me kiss you instead."

Gu Baisheng's eyes widened as she was kissed.

Song Shuang touched her hair and left the consulting room.

He closed the door for her.

His colleague saw that he left the room and said, "Dr. Song."

Song Shuang raised his head and wasn't gentle anymore. He nodded and said, "Let's go to the operating room."

Then, they left.

...

Su Yuanyi was talking with Mr. Li from Gangcheng Police Station about the autopsy report. At that time, he heard that there was something wrong with Gu Cheng's operation.

Mr. Li was listening carefully.

But Su Yuanyi heard two nurses' conversation.

"I heard that there was something wrong with Mr. Gu's operation."

"Before the operation, the intern from Gangcheng fought with Huang Jiaqi. Huang Jiaqi was almost strangled."

"Huang Jiaqi is mean. She must have said something stupid, or the intern wouldn't get angry. I've talked with the intern. She's nice."

"It's said that Huang Jiaqi spoke ill of the intern's husband Song Shuang."

"I guessed right. Huang Jiaqi has said something stupid."

Su Yuanyi stopped talking.

Mr. Li noticed that he stopped talking and looked up at him.

He saw Su Yuanyi looking at the door.

"Mr. Su?"

Su Yuanyi focused on his work again when Mr. Li called him. He apologized to Mr. Li smilingly, "I'm sorry. What was I talking about?"

"You said that the dead person had been hit with a blunt instrument and had been whipped. And he has broken his bones long ago."

"OK. Let's go on."

Su Yuanyi stayed focused again and talked with Mr. Li about the autopsy report.

Half an hour later, he finished talking with Mr. Li.

He looked at his watch. It was 9 o'clock.

Gu Cheng's operation had begun.

As some medical workers were in conflict before the operation, someone might be asked to quit the operation.

After all, it was dangerous for medical workers who were in conflict to cooperate with each other.

Gangcheng Hospital was careful in this respect.

Such an accident would be prevented.

Su Yuanyi closed the door of his consulting room.

He entered the elevator.

Then, he took the elevator to the floor of the surgical clinic.

Some capable surgeons were asked to perform Gu Cheng's operation.

The department of surgery was quieter than usual.

Some workers recognized Su Yuanyi and greeted him.

Su Yuanyi responded politely.

When he arrived at Song Shuang's consulting room, he knocked on the door.

No one answered.

So, Su Yuanyi opened the door.

Then, he saw Gu Baisheng sleeping on the sofa.

He looked at the corridor to make sure that nobody was there and then walked into the room.

The coat draping around Gu Baisheng's shoulders had fallen off the sofa.

She felt cold and folded her arms.

When Su Yuanyi walked towards her, he felt a gust of wind.

He raised his eyes and saw the window open.

He picked up the coat on the ground and draped it over Gu Baisheng.

Then, he closed the window.

There was no more wind in the room.

He naturally drew the curtains.

Su Yuanyi squatted beside the sofa and looked at Gu Baisheng.

Gu Baisheng frowned and rolled over like she felt something.

However, a sofa was narrower than a bed.

She almost fell to the ground as she rolled over.

Su Yuanyi immediately caught her.

He put her back on the sofa, and she wakened.

Gu Baisheng rubbed her eyes and sat up. She was surprised, "Su Yuanyi?"

Su Yuanyi smiled, "Hi."

"Why are you here?"

After Song Shuang left, she was still dazed. So, she lay on the sofa and fell asleep.

She was frightened when she rolled over.

She almost fell to the ground.

Seeing that she was awake, Su Yuanyi said, "I heard that you argued with a nurse. I worried about you and came here."

Gu Baisheng was upset when she thought of what happened in the dressing room this morning.

"I argued with her, but I'm fine now."

"Really?"

Su Yuanyi didn't quite believe her.

Gu Baisheng raised her eyes, "Do you hope that I'm not fine?"

"No. I'm your friend and I certainly hope that you're okay," he asked as if he knew nothing, "Shouldn't you operate on Gu Cheng today? His operation has begun. Why are you sleeping here?"

"I quit. I have a headache, so I can't perform an operation."

"Do you have a headache?"

Su Yuanyi looked at her thoughtfully, "Why?"

"I thought of many things. I'm not sure whether they have happened. I'm dazed."

"That means they have happened," said Su Yuanyi.

Gu Baisheng looked at him, "How do you know?"
