You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

"They're here."

Jiang Che responded, then turned to the hospital bed and called to Su Qinghe to wake up, "Qinghe, wake up, you're going to have surgery."

Su Qinghe opened her eyes and blinked twice. She hadn't been sleeping very soundly to begin with, and had woken up when she heard the nurse's voice.

As the surgery was about to begin, her anxiety reached an unprecedented peak.

But she didn't want Jiang Che to worry about her anymore, so she pretended that nothing had happened and sat up after lifting the covers.

Jiang Che still noticed her subtle action of gently biting her lip.

Are you scared?

Jiang Che went over and helped her stand up from the bed.

Su Qinghe's thoughts were exposed, so she could only nod and then buried her head in Jiang Che's arms.

She was genuinely terrified.

She was afraid that the surgery would fail and she would never see again, and she was even more afraid that once she went in, she would never be able to touch Jiang Che again.

"Don't be afraid, you'll feel better after a good night's sleep."

Jiang Che bent down slightly and tidied her messy hair. "Let's go, I'll take you there."

"Okay~"

Su Qinghe was like a child who couldn't be separated from an adult, clinging tightly to Jiang Che's arm and following him closely, seizing every moment to cherish by his side.

The two followed the nurse toward the operating room.

The corridor was deserted and quiet; the more tranquil the atmosphere, the more it could evoke fear and unease in people.

Su Qinghe felt her legs getting weaker and weaker, and she could only hold Jiang Che's arm tighter to avoid falling.

Jiang Che could feel the pain in his arm, but he didn't say anything and let her hold it.

Soon, the two arrived at the operating room door.

A tall figure in a white coat was leaning against the wall, flipping through medical records.

Hearing footsteps, the person looked up, revealing a bright and exquisite face.

It was Bai Yuning.

"Sister," Jiang Che called out.

Su Qinghe realized it was Bai Yuning and quickly greeted her obediently.

"Sister Yu Ning."

Upon hearing Jiang Che and Su Qinghe's voices, Bai Yuning closed the medical record book, then raised her eyes and looked at the two of them huddled together. After scanning them, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

"You're here."

Her tone was quite relaxed, probably because she didn't want to put pressure on Su Qinghe. She walked over and smiled, "Old Hu is already inside making preparations. This surgery is very simple for him, there won't be any problems."

"Qinghe, just think of it as taking a nap. When you wake up, your eyes will be healed." Bai Yuning said gently, reaching out to pat her head.

Although the words were spoken lightly, Su Qinghe, as the person involved, certainly wasn't so easily at ease.

She had actually prepared herself mentally for the journey, but the reason she didn't go in was because she wanted to spend as much time with Jiang Che as possible.

Jiang Che didn't urge her, and the young couple embraced face to face, creating a rather beautiful scene in the corridor.

"Alright, it's time to go in."

The nurses watched the young couple silently for a while. With the surgery time fast approaching, they had to urge them on, even though they didn't want to spoil the atmosphere.

Su Qinghe snapped out of her daze, tilted her head back, and looked longingly in Jiang Che's direction.

"Go."

Jiang Che reached out and tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, then lowered his head and kissed the girl's soft lips. "I'll wait for you at the door."

"Um."

Su Qinghe then slowly loosened her grip.

It felt like my backbone had been removed; I felt empty and uncomfortable all of a sudden.

The nurse came up to support her and then led the people inside.

As the sound of the electric door sliding rang out, the slender figure gradually disappeared from sight.

bang-

The operating room doors were closed completely.

Immediately afterwards, the red "Operation in Progress" light above the door turned on.

Jiang Che stood there in a daze, his gaze fixed on the tightly closed door in front of him, his brows unconsciously furrowed, his face full of worry.

Even knowing that the surgery was not high-risk, and even though the surgeon was Dr. Hu, a top ophthalmologist.

But he was still very uneasy and couldn't seem to put his mind to it.

After all, the person lying inside was Su Qinghe, his girlfriend whose eyes and heart were full of him.

At a young age, Jiang Che had already deeply understood what it meant to have a heart as heavy as a hanging banner.

"Alright, stop looking."

Jiang Che was suddenly patted on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Bai Yuning standing next to him.

She pulled her hands back and put them in the pockets of her white coat, then followed Jiang Che's gaze to look at the door, feigning curiosity as she asked, "Is this door really that nice? I've been looking at it for years and I still don't see anything special about it."

"..."

Jiang Che snapped out of his reverie, looked away, and gave a slightly awkward twitch of his lips. "I was just looking around."

"Alright, there's no point in looking. This surgery won't be quick; it'll take at least two or three hours. Just wait patiently."

Bai Yuning pointed to the bench in the corridor next to her, "Sit down for a while, don't just stand here like a doorman."

After saying that, she went over and sat down first.

Jiang Che looked at the gate again and couldn't help but sigh. Standing there was really no use.

He moved his feet and sat down next to Bai Yuning, but his eyes still unconsciously glanced towards the operating room.

A classic case of being physically in Cao Cao's camp but having one's heart in Han.

Bai Yuning turned her head slightly to take in her cousin's behavior.

She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. How come she never noticed before that this guy was such a romantic?

Oh no, he really is a hopeless romantic, but his previous infatuation has been relegated to history.

But it's only been a few days since they last met, and her cousin's attitude towards the young girl has changed so much.

It seems that Su Qinghe is quite capable.

Bai Yuning vaguely felt that there was a very high probability that Su Qinghe would become her brother's wife in the future.

"Hey bro," she nudged Jiang Che with her elbow.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Jiang Che replied absentmindedly.

Bai Yuning took two mints out of her pocket, tossed one to Jiang Che, and said, "Want to chat?"

Jiang Che took the candy, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.

Instantly, a refreshing coolness spread throughout his mouth, easing his long-tense nerves.

He raised an eyebrow at Bai Yuning and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"What else can we talk about? Of course, we'll talk about your little wife."

The moment gossip is mentioned, Bai Yuning's daily resentment and fatigue disappear, and she becomes as vibrant as spring flowers.

"How far have things progressed between you two?"

Jiang Che rolled his eyes at Bai Yuning, somewhat speechless. What time is it? This lady still has the mind to gossip about this?

"What step?" Jiang Che feigned ignorance.

"Don't try to fool me."

Bai Yuning rolled her eyes at him. "Your sister has seen it all, and you're practically a statue waiting for your wife. Stop hiding things from me, okay?"

She leaned forward, lowered her voice, and grinned mischievously, "Did you hit a home run?"
