Zhou Guangtao took the item Yàn Luòxī had placed on the table and held it in his palm. He looked at her and said, "We are both young; most things should prioritize our careers. Besides, you’re only going for a month and not permanently leaving. He lowered his voice slightly, saying, “If true love lasts forever, why worry about being together every day”

Yàn Luòxī felt warmth in her heart, with an indescribable sweetness welling up from within. She held Zhou Guangtao's hand and pouted playfully, "The company notified me that I have to leave tomorrow at noon. This means we'll be apart tonight and won't see each other again for a month…"

Zhou Guangtao looked into Yàn Luòxī’s eyes, which were like ripples on water, sparkling with intense light. She seemed slightly bashful and her cheeks blushed faintly, reminiscent of a fully ripened peach. He felt mesmerized by the sight, pulling her hand to kiss it gently, "I can wait for you this month, but when your training is over, you have to move in with me." Both were young men full of vigor; who wouldn't have thoughts about their beloved

Yàn Luòxī blushed. Zhou Guangtao looked at her with ardent sincerity and an extreme affection that made it impossible for her to refuse.

The two laughed heartily as they enjoyed this meal, then walked hand in hand through the summer night streets of Beijing. Both young faces were aglow with romantic splendor.

Even though she felt her phone buzzing repeatedly inside her pocket and knew that Li An would be furious when she got back, Yàn Luòxī still didn't want to leave Zhou Guangtao. She snuggled beside him, wishing they could walk like this forever.

In the end, Zhou Guangtao walked Yàn Luòxī to her dormitory building and handed a brand new phone box from his car over to her, "Here is your mobile."

"Oh." Yàn Luòxī took it and fiddled with it, asking, "Is the receipt inside"

"Hm" Zhou Guangtao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Well... I'm afraid that if something goes wrong with my phone, having a receipt will make things easier!" Yan Luoxi laughed awkwardly.

Zhou Guangtao tenderly pushed the stray hair from her face behind her ear and then leaned down to kiss her. "Sometimes you act like an immature child, and other times you're extremely shrewd—I don't even know which one is the real you!"

Yan Luoxi felt a bit guilty when he said that; she initiated a kiss on him, saying with a chuckle, “Hehe, parting gift!”

Zhou Guangtao wouldn’t miss such an opportunity. He wrapped his arms around Yan Luoxi’s head and deepened the kiss.

They had just drunk some alcohol earlier; their mouths were filled with a rich fragrance. Zhou Guangtao's soft lips lingered on Yan Luoxi's, over and over again, from passionate to intimate. Yan Luoxi was utterly bewildered in her mind as she blushed and closed her eyes, letting herself get lost in the scent of Zhou Guangtao.

After a long while, Zhou Guangtao reluctantly let go of Yan Luoxi’s mouth, hugging her close to his chest. He calmed his rapid breathing after a moment or two, saying, "I really don't want to leave you."

"Nor do I want to leave you!" Yan Luoxi sighed silently as her phone continued to vibrate persistently in her pocket. How could this battery last so long

Zhou Guangtao kissed her forehead and said, “What time will you be leaving tomorrow I’ll see you off.”

"You don't need to see me off. You just started working again, you must be very busy." Yan Luoxi firmly refused, "I'll walk back with my colleagues."

"Alright," Zhou Guangtao nodded his head as if making a firm decision, then reluctantly let go of Yan Luoxi and turned to walk towards his car.

Yan Luoxi pretended to walk toward her dorm building. Just before entering the building, she suddenly heard Zhou Guangtao calling out from behind, "Luoxi!" She quickly turned around.

The moonlight tonight was exceptionally bright, casting a glow on the tall figure of Zhou Guangtao, making him appear even more distinguished; his eyes, as luminous as stars, had an irresistible and resolute charm. He smiled at her and slowly said, "Luoxi, take care of yourself, remember to call me."

"Okay." Yan Luoxi nodded seriously, watching Zhou Guangtao get into the car and drive off. She stood there for a moment more before sneaking out onto the roadside and hailing a taxi back to the hospital.

By now it was late at night, and the entrance of the inpatient department was quite deserted, but Yan Luoxi's face still wore a smile, her mind filled with Zhou Guangtao's image. His gentleness, his consideration, his handsomeness—everything about him was etched deeply into her heart. It seemed like she couldn't contain her overwhelming affection and sweetness surrounding her, making her feel that life was so beautiful and full of hope, completely forgetting the danger ahead.

Yan Luoxi briskly walked to Li An's ward; at this hour, Li An should have been asleep. She carefully pushed open the door to his room and was hit by a strong smell of cigarette smoke.

Who is it So lacking in manners, smoking while visiting someone!

Yan Luoxi grumbled inwardly with displeasure; upon entering the ward, she found Li An half-sitting on his bed, head bowed as he lit a cigarette. One hand held the lighter; the blue flame flickered gently, casting shadows that highlighted his handsome face and narrow eyes.

"Aren't doctors supposed to advise against smoking How come he's smoking then" Yan Luoxi stopped in her tracks, standing there and watching from afar as Li An was smoking with his head lowered. She could tell that Li An was brewing a temper; it would be wise for her to keep her distance.

Li An did not look up at her but asked softly, "Where’s the phone"

"This... this is it." Nervously, Yan Luoxi pulled out the phone. There were 89 missed calls on it – all from Li An.

"Give it to me."

It was only right for him to reclaim his property; Yan Luoxi approached Li An with a fearful heart. Her dark eyes, as pure and clear as gemstones, betrayed her nervousness and anxiety. She did not dare hand the phone directly to Li An but instead placed it on the bedside table.

Li An extinguished his cigarette gracefully and suddenly flung out his arm; Yan Luoxi shuddered in fright, instinctively covering her head for protection.

She soon realized that he was not going to hit her. Instead, the brand-new, expensive mobile phone she had cherished was sent flying across the room, smashing against the snow-white wall on the opposite side with a loud crack and shattering into pieces which scattered all over the floor. A startled ICU nurse who had just entered promptly jumped back out.

The handsome face of Li An darkened with fury as he roughly grabbed Yan Luoxi’s chin in his hand, completely merciless; his grip was so painful that she felt her jawbone must have been crushed.

"Where did you go You little bitch! Did you not hear the calls I made to you What is this mobile phone for if it's not to contact me back Why didn't you answer my call, huh" Li An growled into Yan Luoxi’s ear, his breath seeming to exude a bloodthirsty aura.ning her head away and ignoring him.The next morning, when the sky just started to lighten up, Li An sneaked into Yan Luoxi's room again. Because she feared that the servants might bring her child at...
