I hide the white roses behind me

"Do you want anything else? If not, I'll be back soon."

After walking out of the convenience store, Bae Zhuhyun weighed the paper bag in her hand and raised her hand to pick up a mask against the late March evening wind.

Announcements are made step by step, and days are passed step by step.

Probably because she was scolded when she debuted, but now she is used to it, and she can learn to look at the current situation calmly.

The performance of this comeback activity was not good. Just when the group was about to gain momentum and maintain an upward rhythm, the company gave them a "beat-breaking" title song.

The competition in this circle is so fierce. Once the rising rhythm is interrupted, their upper limit may be sealed.

Forget it, no matter how much you think about it, it’s useless. Artists are tools for the company to make money, and in the eyes of the company, tools don’t need to have their own ideas.

Even if the senior wants to continue his solo career, wouldn't it be difficult within the company?

Shaking his head, Pei Zhuxuan dismissed the incomplete thoughts in his mind and walked along the path towards the dormitory.

"Unnie, do you have much stuff? I'll pick you up."

In the Bluetooth headset, Jiang Seulgi's voice continued without interruption.

"No, I'll walk back slowly."

Rejecting the kindness of his teammates, Bae Zhuhyun moved slowly.

Going out to buy things was a good time to relax. As the captain, she had a lot of pressure that she could only digest by herself.

She has been a veteran trainee for many years. Although she has few who can be called friends, she knows quite a few trainees, such as Lin Nayeon, who has a good relationship with Kang Seulgi.

Everyone is considered a newcomer in the same period, but the new group from the opposite company is so popular...

Freeing his mind and thinking about things that he couldn't grasp, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly stopped and stood there.

She turned around suddenly and saw a figure hurrying into the alley next to her.

With a frown, Pei Zhuxuan turned back and quickened her pace, walking faster and faster.

"Unnie, what's wrong?"

Hearing that Bae Zhuhyun's breathing became a little heavy, Jiang Seulqi, who was about to hang up the call, raised the phone to her ear again.

"Maybe it's an illegitimate person, following me."

Taking advantage of the turn, Pei Zhuxuan glanced behind her again and saw the face of the person behind her and the camera in that person's hand.

She recognized the man, having seen him more than once.

Tsk, it’s really an illegitimate child.

"What? I'll pick you up now."

Jiang Seulqi's voice immediately rose, she connected headphones to her phone, grabbed a sweatshirt and ran out.

"we are at……"

Lowering his head and holding his hair with one hand, Pei Zhuhyun started running against the wind.

She planned to let Jiang Seulqi wait at the coffee shop she often went to near the apartment, and then go back to the dormitory together.

"Hey!"

Passing by the drug store nearby, Pei Zhuxuan, who was just running away, bumped into a person's back, almost knocking him down as he just walked out of the drug store, and he staggered to a halt.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Although there was an illegitimate child behind her, after all, she bumped into someone, and Bae Zhuhyun had to stop, hoping that this person would "let" her go as soon as possible.

"Pei Zhuxuan?"

The man's voice was full of energy, and he felt extremely tired.

"Doctor Lin? You are back."

Seeing this man's face, Pei Zhuxuan's pupils swayed. She didn't think about why she could almost knock down the tall Dr. Lin, and immediately supported his arm.

Dr. Lin seemed to be in bad condition, his face was pale, and his breathing was obvious and heavy. "Well, I just came back...why are you running?"

Feeling bouts of sweating on his back and chills all over his body, Lin Zengxian, who had just returned from medical rescue, braced himself and glanced at the direction Pei Zhuxuan was running from.

"There is an illegitimate child chasing me...are you sick?"

Seeing the bastard stop and observe from a distance, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly felt more confident.

Speaking of which, Lin Zengxian's medical rescue trip originally thought he would be back in half a month, but he didn't expect to delay his return for nearly a month. If he hadn't met now, Pei Zhuxuan thought it would take some time before he could see her.

As for why she wanted to see Lin Zengxian, it was because of the German Shepherd she saw when she met Kim Taeyeon in the company corridor that night.

To be precise, what Bae Zhuhyun wants to see is not the "Dr. Lin" who she once mistakenly thought was Kim Taeyeon's boyfriend, but the "Mr. John" who takes her to see the scenery around the world with his camera.

"Isasaeng? Get in my car and take you back."

Taking a step forward and blocking Pei Zhuxuan with most of his body, Lin Zengxian pointed to his car on the roadside.

The instantly recognizable Alpine A310 sports car.

"Are you having a fever?"

Walking slowly along Lin Zengxian's footsteps, Pei Zhuxuan did not move his eyes away and asked tentatively.

"Well, it doesn't matter, I am a doctor myself."

After opening the passenger door for Pei Zhuxuan, Lin Zengxian stretched out his hand to block the door frame to prevent Pei Zhuxuan from touching her head, and then motioned for her to sit in.

boom……

The car door was closed, and both the cold wind and the sasaeng following behind were isolated from the space dominated by "Mr. John". Pei Zhuhyun loosened his clenched fingers and felt that his tense emotions finally relaxed. Come down.

"Mr. John's" car is very clean, with a faint scent of medicinal agarwood, and the interior decoration is also very simple, which is in line with "Dr. Lin's" style.

Watching Lin Zengxian walk around the front of the car and walk out of the driver's seat door, Pei Zhuxuan's heart that had just fallen suddenly rose again.

Although the tall and majestic German shepherd dog is particularly conspicuous, will he admit that he is wrong?

No, Jiang Seulqi felt familiar after looking at the photo, so she shouldn’t be mistaken.

However, even if it is very conspicuous, can a German shepherd dog really confirm that "Dr. Lin" is "Mr. John"?

And what if Dr. Lin feels that "Mr. John" is his secret and is unwilling to admit it?

"If it is convenient for you to tell me the location of your dormitory, I will take you to the downstairs of the dormitory. If it is not convenient, then you can tell me a place you think is safe and I will take you there, or you can ask someone to pick you up. I'll stay here with you until the person who picks you up comes."

While Pei Zhuxuan was thinking wildly, Lin Zengxian opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.

He was about to start the engine and inserted the car key twice before inserting it into the keyhole.

In addition, Pei Zhuxuan could even see subtle changes in the expression on the doctor's face when Lin Zengxian's Adam's apple moved.

Is it because your throat hurts?

"Dr. Lin, I..."

Knowing that Lin Zengxian was ill and that Lin Zengxian had just come back, he wanted Lin Zengxian to go home and rest as soon as possible, but he was followed by an illegitimate child;

He had already gotten into the car and accepted the help. He didn't want Lin Zengxian to feel that he was being pretentious, but he saw Lin Zengxian looking very uncomfortable.

Pei Zhuxuan opened her mouth and searched her brain for a while, but still couldn't form a complete sentence.

"Ok?"

The breath exhaled from his nose seemed to be hot and smoking. Lin Zengxian put on his seat belt and tilted his head to look around him.

The headache was getting worse and worse, and he had to tilt his head and stretch his strength to feel a little more relaxed.

Suddenly, the car became extremely quiet.

Only the sound came out hesitantly from Bae Zhuhyun's earphones.

"Unnie, um, I can come pick you up...right?"
