"Okay, what time do you leave tomorrow?"

"It's about nine o'clock in the morning. The specific time of coming back has not been determined yet."

"I have an operation at 8:30 tomorrow morning, so I can't see you off."

"It doesn't matter. Dr. Qin and I went together. We drove directly there. We both drove alternately on the way, so it wasn't tiring."

"Um."

The car was quiet for a few seconds, then Bai Junhua pushed the door open and said, "Be careful on the road."

Xu Yi nodded and watched her enter the house before starting the car and leaving.

————

During the next few days when Bai Junhua was on a business trip, the relationship between the two of them was not much different from before.

But there is an indescribable sense of gap.

Bai Junhua knew that this question probably came from the day she went to his house and about the meeting gift Ge Qin gave her.

She also seriously reflected on her own problems. In fact, she worried too much and thought too much. It would have been better if she had accepted it openly that day.

But Xu Yi didn't directly point out this matter, and she didn't know how to explain it.

On the day we returned to Kyoto, it happened to be raining heavily with thunder.

Because it was still early, and I still had to report the progress to the director of the department, as well as the future cooperation between their department and City C Medical University.

She sent a message to Xu Yi when she arrived, but Xu Yi didn't reply when she came out of the director's office.

Maybe it was because they hadn't seen each other for a few days, but she missed him inexplicably. Knowing that he had an early shift today, she went directly to the cardiac surgery department.

When crossing the overpass in the courtyard, Bai Junhua glanced down inadvertently.

I accidentally caught a familiar figure holding an umbrella, and a woman in a white coat stood beside me.

She paused in her steps and her eyes darkened.

I took out my phone and looked at the message sent nearly an hour ago, but there was still no reply.

The sound of rain became louder, and the rainwater that came in from the eaves splashed on her shoes. She just watched the two people leaving quietly for a long time before she looked away and walked back.

Before getting in the car, Xu Yi's phone call came.

She picked up, "Huh?"

"where?"

"Hospital, just ready to leave." She sat in the car.

"PARKING LOT?"

"Um."

"Wait for me for five minutes."

Bai Junhua paused, "Okay."

Xu Yi is a very punctual person, and as expected, five minutes later, he opened the door of the passenger compartment of the car and got in.

Bai Junhua looked at him with a slight smile on her lips, "Are you so on time for getting off work today?"

"I had two surgeries today, which ended more than half an hour ago." Xu Yi looked back at her, "Didn't we agree to have dinner together today? Why do we have to leave first?"

"It's not because you haven't replied to messages..." She thought about it for a moment, but she really didn't have the temper to bear it, so she said directly, "Actually, I just went to your department and saw you holding an umbrella with Yan Shu."

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, "Then why didn't you call me?"

"I haven't responded to your messages, so I thought you were busy..."

"I just went to the laboratory department, and I happened to meet Yan Shu on the way back. She was trapped in the laboratory without an umbrella, so we went back to the department together." Xu Yi explained.

"Yeah." Bai Junhua nodded.

"Don't believe me?" Xu Yi frowned, feeling that she deserved to be a little perfunctory and cold.

Bai Junhua smiled helplessly, "I don't believe it, I know it's impossible for you and Yan Shu."

But if it were another woman, the level of pantothenic acid might be really different.

Moreover, she did feel a little uncomfortable just now.

"But, why haven't you replied to the message?" I thought in my heart, so I asked the question out loud, not intending to hide it.

"Do not have time."

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment. Bai Junhua pursed her lips. She couldn't tell what she was feeling, but the uncomfortable feeling seemed to have become more intense.

Xu Yi also realized that his words seemed to be a little emotional and a bit off.

He changed the subject, "What do you want to eat?"

"That pickled fish shop we went to before?"

"good."

Bai Junhua started the car and drove out of the underground parking lot.

The rain was not letting up, and there was no spare umbrella in the car. When they arrived at the restaurant, they both rushed over.

This meal was more bland than any previous meal.

It was a rainy day, and Xu Yi was tired after having two surgeries. After the meal, the two of them stayed in the car for a while, and Bai Junhua drove him back.

It rained for five or six days in Kyoto before it cleared up.

Her relationship with Xu Yi is still the same, without any progress.

Bai Junhua felt very annoyed, but she didn't want to argue with him about these things, especially since he was really busy these days. Sometimes he stayed up all night and slept for four or five hours before being woken up.

Everyone looked very tired.

In comparison, she is much more relaxed.

The invitation to teach at the Medical University in City C has come out, and she accepted it. She needs to attend two classes every Monday and Thursday. The hospital has already made arrangements.

But she didn't find a suitable opportunity to talk to Xu Yi about this.

During the lunch break, Bai Junhua called Xu Li, mainly because she wanted someone to help her figure out how to solve the problem.

After all, continuing like this is not an option.

"What are you thinking? Have you ever thought about marrying my brother?" Xu Li asked on the other end of the phone.

She looked at the blue sky. After Xu Yi mentioned marriage so many times, she must have thought about it.

However, there is some resistance in my heart.

It's not that I resist marrying him, it's that I resist getting married so soon.

In fact, flash marriage does not exist in her life dictionary.

"I thought about it, but... I think it's too early, and it's not the time to get married, and... the beginning of the two of us was actually quite dramatic, and there wasn't much seriousness in it."

"I never thought that when you start a relationship, you have to go to the end. There are many variables in the middle, and there is a possibility of marriage and divorce. I will not really commit to a man just because of a few sweet words. Maybe...

"

After a while, when the relationship is completely stable, her mood will become different.

Before these words could be said, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind, "So, you are just bored for a moment, and you just want to fall in love with me to pass the time?"
