This person is clearly a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, yet he is excessively lucid.
Chapter 42 Affection in the Sunset
"It's the weekend today, so I won't disturb you while you're on your date with your girlfriend."
"I'll give you another full day off, let you rest for a couple of days, clear your head, and be able to come back to work on Monday, okay?"
After the two finished eating at a small restaurant near the hospital, they walked side by side on their way back to the hospital. Lu Haifeng slowed down and casually asked Yu Chenzhou beside him.
"No problem, I'll definitely be able to get to work on Monday."
But are you sure you want to give me a day off?
"Regarding Gu Mo's misdiagnosis dispute, the other party specifically requested my intervention. Are we just going to let it go like this?"
Yu Chenzhou turned his head to the side, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes full of confusion, and his tone carrying a hint of confirmation.
"Hehe, you can rest assured, this matter has been completely resolved and has nothing to do with us anymore."
Lu Haifeng waved his hand, answered in a relaxed tone, then turned to look at Yu Chenzhou, his face showing undisguised admiration, and continued:
"Your ex-girlfriend, Su Qinghuan, is such a waste of her talent not to become a professional negotiation expert."
She somehow managed to persuade the emotionally agitated patient's family.
Afterwards, the Gu family used their connections to transfer the patient to Hong Kong overnight, and even specially invited a top foreign surgeon to perform the operation.
Otherwise, how do you think the Gu family could remain so calm and collected, without causing any trouble at all, given how fierce the public outcry has been?
"Is that so?"
Why haven't I heard any news at all?
When did this happen?
Yu Chenzhou's eyes widened slightly, his face full of surprise, and his tone was clearly astonished.
Yu Chenzhou knew all too well just how eloquent Su Qinghuan was.
After all, she is the female lead of this novel, and her inherent "idiocy-lowering aura" is no joke.
This aura always makes people around her inexplicably believe in her.
"I'm not sure of the exact time, but I heard the surgery was completed yesterday."
By the way, after the surgery, Gu Mo and Su Qinghuan stayed in Hong Kong to take care of the patient. Judging from the situation, they probably won't be returning to Shanghai anytime soon.
So you don't need to worry at all. You'll run into them at the hospital or elsewhere later, so you won't feel uncomfortable.
Lu Haifeng stopped and carefully recalled the information he had heard from others before answering seriously.
"So that's how it is. No wonder they went to Hong Kong."
I've been wondering these past few days why Su Qinghuan hasn't been coming to me every day to talk and persuade me like she used to. It seems she's no longer based in the area.
Yu Chenzhou nodded in sudden realization, his doubts instantly dispelled.
However, the thought that Su Qinghuan had gone to Hong Kong with Gu Mo made him smile with amusement. This was getting interesting.
In the original story, the root cause of her and Gu Mo's complete falling out was Su Qinghuan. The two of them fought fiercely over her.
But now, the thought of Gu Mo replacing him and becoming the sucker who would be exploited by Su Qinghuan's family filled Yu Chenzhou with inexplicable pleasure, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.
In this way, he would no longer need to target Gu Mo. After all, watching Gu Mo being entangled by Su Qinghuan's family, being morally blackmailed and unreasonably demanded was quite amusing.
As Yu Chenzhou imagined Gu Mo being dragged down by Su Qinghuan and living a miserable life, a hint of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes, and a chilling smile appeared on his face.
Lu Haifeng happened to catch a glimpse of the inexplicable smile on Yu Chenzhou's face. The coldness in that smile sent a chill down his spine, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
His instincts were frantically reminding him that Yu Chenzhou in front of him was definitely up to no good.
The afternoon sun dappled through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows, and a gentle breeze carried a slight chill.
Therefore, Lu Haifeng dared not linger any longer and quickened his pace without hesitation, saying almost as if he were fleeing:
"I have a ton of urgent work to do in my office, so I won't go with you. I'll be leaving now!"
Yu Chenzhou watched Lu Haifeng's hurried figure disappear into the distance, almost running, raised an eyebrow, and couldn't help but sigh softly:
"No wonder he's in the position of dean; his dedication is truly admirable."
After speaking, Yu Chenzhou withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards his office.
Since he just ended his suspension and officially returned to his post today, there are still many backlogged procedures to be completed, and the handover of various tasks needs to be implemented one by one.
So Yu Chenzhou spent the entire afternoon buried in his desk, methodically making thorough preparations for the formal work to come.
It was evening, time to get off work.
Yu Chenzhou tidied up the documents on his desk, picked up his coat, and left the hospital directly. He then drove towards Xiao Yilin's company.
Ever since Xiao Yilin's mother, Song Shuwan, learned that her daughter was planning to have a child, she has made this a top priority and strictly forbade Xiao Yilin from working overtime late into the night, for fear of ruining her health.
To ensure her daughter could get some rest, Song Shuwan even asked her husband, Xiao Tianhe, to arrange two experienced vice presidents for Xiao Yilin's company.
With the assistance of these two vice presidents, Xiao Yilin's work pressure was greatly reduced. Not only could she go to and from get off work with Yu Chenzhou every day, but she could also enjoy her weekends off in peace.
When Yu Chenzhou's car came to a smooth stop in front of Xiao Yilin's company, Xiao Yilin, who had changed out of her work clothes and was wearing a dress, was walking out of the company carrying an exquisite bag.
The company's employees were already used to Xiao Yilin being driven to and from get off work by a private driver every day, and sometimes they would even take the initiative to greet Yu Chenzhou.
Xiao Yilin skillfully opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. While gently fastening her seatbelt, she glanced at Yu Chenzhou in the driver's seat and casually asked:
"What are your plans for today? Where are you going to take me?"
Yu Chenzhou wanted Xiao Yilin to experience the sweet feeling of being pursued with care.
So every day after get off work, he would carefully plan various dating activities, taking her to all sorts of interesting and romantic places in Shanghai.
Sweet Love Road, known as a "holy land of love," has walls along the roadside covered with couples' confessions of love.
The North Bund of Shanghai offers a blend of artistic romance and thrilling fun.
The old streets and alleys along the Huangpu River are home to a variety of unique delicacies;
There's also the tranquil and elegant Yuqing Road, filled with the shadows of plane trees.
They have already visited and experienced all of these places.
"I haven't decided yet. Is there anywhere you particularly want to go?"
As Yu Chenzhou slowly started the car, he asked gently.
"The weather is perfect right now, how about we go to the Pudong Art Museum?"
I heard from a friend that the Hall of Mirrors there is a great spot to watch the sunset, and you can catch the whole sunset.
After watching the sunset, let's find a good restaurant nearby for dinner. What do you think?
Xiao Yilin tilted her head and thought for a moment, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes, before making a suggestion to Yu Chenzhou.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, let's go to the Pudong Art Museum."
Xiao Yilin's suggestion surprised Yu Chenzhou slightly; he hadn't considered a place like an art museum.
However, he quickly realized what was happening and nodded in agreement with a smile.
Previously, Yu Chenzhou couldn't understand or even be interested in artistic works like paintings at all.
Now that he has acquired Gu Kaizhi's painting skills, he has even less interest in these things, and could even be said to look down on them.
So in the past, when he was planning dates, he would instinctively skip places like art galleries.
But if you're looking to watch the sunset, the Pudong Art Museum is definitely one of the best places in Shanghai.
The Hall of Mirrors inside the museum has become a popular spot for watching the sunset over the Bund due to its unique architectural design.
As the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the huge glass curtain wall into the hall, the interplay of light and shadow with the view of the Huangpu River and the Bund's architecture outside the windows creates a captivating and exceptionally romantic atmosphere.
At 5:30 p.m., the originally scorching and dazzling sunlight gradually softened and slowly withdrew its sharpness.
Sunlight streams through the iconic glass dome of the Pudong Art Museum, casting dappled shadows on the polished floor. The light and shadow shift slowly over time, creating a poetic effect.
Yu Chenzhou took Xiao Yilin's hand and walked step by step up to the mirror hall on the third floor.
As soon as I entered the hall, I found that there were already quite a few people standing there to enjoy the view.
Because it was the weekend, the majority of the people here were couples on dates, huddled together, whispering secrets.
"There were so many people on the weekend, but luckily we arrived in time and didn't miss the best time to view the scenery."
Xiao Yilin was slightly out of breath, probably because she had walked upstairs in a hurry.
Her fingertips rested lightly on the cool glass railing, her gaze eagerly fixed on the river view outside the window.
Since the two started going out on dates after get off work every day, Xiao Yilin has been bringing an extra set of elegant casual clothes in her bag every morning for convenience, and then changing into them in the company's break room after get off work.
Today she wore a light apricot chiffon dress, the skirt flowing lightly and gracefully, making her slender figure appear even taller and more elegant.
A gentle breeze slipped in through the open vent, softly swaying her skirt. The movement of the skirt overlapped with the shimmering river view reflected in the mirrored hall, as if she were immersed in a flowing, beautiful painting.
Yu Chenzhou's gaze fell on Xiao Yilin's wind-blown hair, his eyes so tender they could melt your heart.
He gently raised his hand and brushed away the stray hairs from her forehead. His fingertips inadvertently touched her delicate skin, bringing a slightly itchy sensation.
His gaze then swept across the wide Huangpu River outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and he pointed to a relatively quiet corner by the window, saying softly:
"Look there, right in front of the Bund's collection of international buildings, it's a fantastic spot to watch the sunset."
Yu Chenzhou said with a slight hint of regret:
"Unfortunately, we arrived a little too late; the best viewpoints had already been taken."
"Whether the location is good or not is not very important."
Xiao Yilin gently shook her head, then grasped Yu Chenzhou's hand in return, their fingers intertwined tightly, before slowly resting her head on his shoulder.
With a sentimental expression on her face and her eyes quietly gazing at the setting sun on the horizon, she spoke gently.
"The important thing is that you're the one watching the sunset with me."
Upon hearing this, Yu Chenzhou felt a warmth in his heart. He didn't say anything more, but simply tightened his grip on their clasped fingers, responding to her feelings with his actions.
The sky was now completely tinged with a gentle hue, the edges of the originally clear blue sky now tinged with a faint orange-pink by the afterglow of the setting sun.
It's just like the blush on the cheeks of a young girl experiencing her first love, delicate and captivating.
The wide Huangpu River shimmered with golden sunlight, which sprinkled on the water like a layer of scattered gold.
Several ferries slowly sailed across the river, leaving golden ripples on the calm water. The ripples gradually spread out and then disappeared.
The iconic skyscrapers on the opposite bank, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Central Tower, were gradually bathed in a warm golden light by the setting sun.
The originally cold and austere steel and concrete buildings have taken on a gentle and tender charm at this moment.
The two stood close together in front of the glass window, quietly watching the ever-changing scenery outside, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.
The evening breeze brought warmth, and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the two of them. With her beloved by her side, Xiao Yilin felt dizzy, as if she were drunk.
Although she didn't drink a drop of alcohol today, her heart was completely intoxicated, filled with happiness and sweetness.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yilin pointed to a fluffy, soft white cloud on the horizon with her other finger, her eyes sparkling like a curious child, and whispered to Yu Chenzhou:
"Look at that cloud, it's round and soft, doesn't it look like a cotton candy?"
Her tone carried a childlike innocence, making her sound exceptionally adorable.
Yu Chenzhou looked up in the direction she was pointing, and the white cloud was indeed fluffy and white, with a round shape, just like a cotton candy.
A gentle smile instantly filled his eyes, and he responded softly:
"It's so similar! It's so similar! After we watch the sunset, I'll take you to a long-established dessert shop. Their cotton candy pudding is especially special and very famous."
Hearing Yu Chenzhou's gentle tone, as if coaxing a child, Xiao Yilin's heart was instantly filled. She smiled sweetly, her eyes curving into crescent shapes.
She raised her hand and made a cute V-sign, deliberately acting adorable, and coaxed in a soft, sweet voice:
"Little brother, Linlin was so well-behaved and cute today, could you make an exception and have two marshmallow puddings?"
Yu Chenzhou was amused by her adorable appearance and laughed out loud. He deliberately put on a serious face and said:
"No, that won't do. Each person can only have one a day, that's the rule. Unless…"
He paused deliberately, looking at Xiao Yilin with an ambiguous gaze.
"Give me a kiss, and I'll share mine with you."
Xiao Yilin's cheeks flushed slightly, but she did not hesitate at all, and did not disappoint Yu Chenzhou's expectations.
She tiptoed slightly and gently placed a soft kiss on Yu Chenzhou's cheek. After the kiss, she gently bit her lower lip.
The two were not talking loudly, as if they were whispering, but the Hall of Mirrors was crowded with people watching the sunset, and the space was relatively enclosed. The couples on either side of them could clearly hear their conversation.
The couples all instinctively looked over, their eyes filled with envy. No one expected that they, as fellow couples, would be fed a mouthful of dog food by this couple.
Fortunately, the two did not continue to "spread the sweetness" because the sun was gradually setting, and the colors of the sky were becoming more intense and brilliant.
The orange-pink gradually transitions into a vibrant crimson, which then gradually blends into a deep purple, with multiple colors intertwined in layers.
It was as if a skilled painter had accidentally spilled his palette, scattering the most beautiful colors across the sky.
Soft sunlight streams through the massive glass curtain wall, creating dazzling light and shadow patterns on the smooth mirrored walls of the Hall of Mirrors.
The constantly shifting light and shadow elongated and overlapped the figures of everyone in the hall, creating a blend of reality and illusion, as if placing one in a dreamlike and enchanting world of light and shadow.
Upon witnessing this breathtaking scene, many people couldn't resist taking out their phones and cameras to capture this beautiful moment.
In order not to break this rare peaceful atmosphere, everyone tacitly turned off the flash and shutter sound.
Xiao Yilin also took out her phone, opened the camera, and kept taking pictures of the sunset and river view outside the window, recording this romantic moment.
She took more than ten satisfactory photos before finally putting down her phone.
Turning her head, she found Yu Chenzhou staring intently at her with eyes full of tenderness.
In Yu Chenzhou's eyes, the magnificent sunset reflected on Xiao Yilin's face, giving her skin a faint blush, making her even more beautiful than the stunning sunset outside the window.
The moment their eyes met, time seemed to stand still.
From Yu Chenzhou's deep eyes, Xiao Yilin clearly understood the deep affection and love hidden in his heart.
Yu Chenzhou slowly raised his hand, his fingertips gently brushing a strand of hair beside her cheek, the movement as gentle as if he were touching a fragile treasure.
He leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear:
"No matter how grand and magnificent the sunset at the art museum is, it can't compare to the smile when you look up."
The river breeze sweeps across the dazzling lights on both banks, but my eyes, from beginning to end, have only ever held you.
Yu Chenzhou's deep, gentle voice seemed to possess a magical power, each word penetrating Xiao Yilin's heart.
Her heart skipped a beat, as if a deer was pounding in her chest. Her eyes instantly became hazy, and her rosy cheeks resembled the most splendid sunset on the horizon.
She didn't say anything, but subconsciously moved closer to him, gently wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing her cheek against his warm chest, feeling his steady heartbeat.
Yu Chenzhou tightened his arms around her, holding her close, his chin resting gently on the top of her head, savoring the fragrance emanating from her hair.
The two stood there quietly, watching the sunset slowly sink below the horizon, casting its last dazzling golden light upon the river.
As the last rays of the setting sun faded into the horizon, the sky gradually darkened, turning into a deep navy blue.
The lights on the opposite bank also lit up one after another, row upon row, gradually forming a sea of lights.
Under the illumination of the lights, the Bund's collection of international buildings appears even more magnificent and dazzling.
Xiao Yilin slowly raised her head, stood on tiptoe, and placed a gentle yet affectionate kiss on Yu Chenzhou's lips. Her voice, slightly magnetic, softly said:
"Darling, this is the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in my life."
Yu Chenzhou lowered his head and gently returned her kiss, his voice so tender it could melt water, every word brimming with affection:
"For the rest of my life, I want to see every sunrise and sunset, every beautiful scene with you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yilin could no longer contain her surging emotions. She threw herself into Yu Chenzhou's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and offered him a passionate and deep kiss.
Influenced by the couple, some shy couples blushed and hurriedly packed their things to leave.
Some couples with their families secretly decided not to bring their children next time, while covering their children's eyes and hurriedly leaving.
Many daring couples have followed suit, embracing and kissing in the romantic light and shadow.
The staff in the Hall of Mirrors couldn't stand it any longer. They coughed lightly a few times, but when that didn't work, they coughed loudly a few times, which finally interrupted the couples who were passionately kissing.
After being interrupted, the people in the Hall of Mirrors gradually dispersed and headed to their next destination.
Yu Chenzhou and Xiao Yilin walked out of the Pudong Art Museum hand in hand.
Although their figures have gradually faded into the distance, a beautiful legend has quietly been left behind in the Pudong Art Museum because of them.
Couples who watch the entire sunset together here and share a passionate kiss will be blessed by the God of Marriage, and will be able to walk hand in hand through the long years and become a couple who grow old together.
