“That’s great, actually, or else meeting just the two of us would be too hard,” Bai Xiao said playfully, leaning her head on An Zhiyuan’s shoulder as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
An Zhiyuan blushed, “Please don’t do this, it wouldn’t be good if others saw us.”
He shuffled his body to the side a bit.
Bai Xiao shook her head, “Don’t you have anything you want to ask me?”
This was the question that had troubled her all day. Now that her special ability had been discovered by An Zhiyuan, hiding was out of the question; it was preferable to be straightforward about it.
“If you don’t want to talk about it, I will never ask. I can only tell you to take care of yourself. Keep everything to yourself, tell no one, not even your closest kin. A secret isn’t a secret if too many know about it. I don’t want you to be in any danger,” An Zhiyuan earnestly advised Bai Xiao.
This was the woman he loved, and he was determined to protect her. A faint smile appeared on his resolute lips; his girl was a composed and decisive individual, full of compassion.
Thinking of Bai Xiao, the rigid lines of his mouth softened. When he had seen her that morning, those sparkling black eyes looked into his, her fingers warmly holding his, her slender fingers nestled in his broad palm, bringing him a thrilling warmth and emotion.
Every achievement in her work was earned through battle after battle, tirelessly earning the respect of others step by step.
Now she truly was Doctor Bai, and he would keep this secret, a secret forever.
He really wanted to hold her in his arms, stroke her silky hair, and let her lean against his sturdy body, to taste her lips, but he couldn’t. Here, he was the captain and had to set an example for everyone; those surging emotions would have to wait until they were alone.
“What are you doing here? You probably don’t know how startled I was when I saw you!” An Zhiyuan said as he watched her conscientiously eating her food, as though she was not holding just a bun, but a delicacy.
“I thought you knew why I was here,” Bai Xiao replied, tilting her head and looking at him with playful silence.
An Zhiyuan’s eyes filled with anger, “You mean…”
The rest didn’t need to be said; both understood well enough. It wasn’t many who would make such an arrangement with special consideration for Bai Xiao.
Li Dongliang definitely wouldn’t have transferred Bai Xiao to such a dangerous place. Traditional Chinese Medicine is different from Western medicine; it doesn’t show its strengths at the frontline. They both understood that, including the secret that Bai Xiao possessed, which others did not know.
That meant, having a traditional Chinese doctor at the front as a medic was almost unheard of.
Bai Xiao nodded, “Perhaps they hoped this arrangement would naturally drive us apart. If you hadn’t come here, I believe we’d be just as they wanted,” a fact both were clearly aware of.
Who most wanted them to break up…
“Those bastards, I didn’t expect her to be so harsh. No wonder this time when I returned, no one mentioned anything about you and me. I felt something was off. It turns out they were waiting for us here,” An Zhiyuan couldn’t contain his anger, for it concerned Bai Xiao’s life, which was an unforgivable crime.
Bai Xiao soothingly stroked his back, “Don’t be like this, you should be thankful to them. If it weren’t for their actions, we wouldn’t have a chance to meet here. This time it should be me saying, if I can’t return, you should marry someone else. But if we safely go back, I want to marry you.”
Under the night sky, their eyes locked in a gaze that neither could break.
