Life in siheyuan era

A craniotomy took more than five hours, leaving Shen Lanyin, the lead surgeon, exhausted.

However, the success of the surgery filled her with joy. She walked out of the operating room, stood firm, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and felt much more relaxed.

This breathing technique was taught to her by Zhou Zhiyuan. It was different from the breathing technique of the Five Animal Frolics, but it had an excellent effect on relaxation.

Whenever she used this breathing technique, his figure would rise in her heart, and then she would whisper to herself, "Idiot."

Zhou Zhiyuan was still that idiot. Although his reasons were very sufficient, and although she thought what he said made sense at the time, he was still an idiot.

The characteristic of an idiot is that he is easily hot-blooded. When he gets hot-blooded, he doesn't consider that the bayonet will cut his finger tendons, nor does he consider that a bullet can take his life.

Three years ago, he got hot-blooded again. It would have been enough to drive that figure back, but he insisted on attacking all the way, which was a way to drive the opponent deep, so he was trapped inside.

He is an idiot, Shen Lanyin was very sure, then walked into her office and heard a colleague ask, "Lanyin, should I buy you something to eat?"

She walked into the operating room at eleven o'clock, and hadn't had a drop of water or grain of rice since.

But she still didn't want to eat, gently shook her head, and replied briskly, "I'll be off work in a while, I'll just go home to eat."

Then she picked up her water glass and took a sip of water, and turned to look at the door at the sound of a colleague's greeting, seeing a slender figure walking in, Shen Lanyin gently pursed her lips.

Liu Mingxue had been pursuing her for more than a year, and she had refused him twice to his face, but he still had this attitude, "Lanyin, this is your first craniotomy, let's go out and celebrate."

Liu Mingxue tried every means to invite her to dinner, even inviting many people to accompany them.

Seeing his attitude, the doctors in the same room were naturally welcome, and they offered suggestions, saying that the beef in Modi Restaurant was good.

But Shen Lanyin replied indifferently, "I'm too tired today, I want to go home and rest."

She was indeed very tired. More importantly, Liu Junling had taken a day off today. Without this bodyguard by her side, she would not participate in any private activities.

But her colleagues wanted to go. Liu Mingxue wasn't just inviting Shen Lanyin alone, everyone had a share. Seeing her refusal, someone immediately said, "Lanyin, everyone is happy for you, we also want to celebrate for you."

As soon as this voice fell, another voice sounded: "Go ahead, have some red wine to relax, and you can sleep well at night."

Another voice came: "Tomorrow is Sunday, you don't have to get up early, you can relax tonight without any worries."

The attitude of her colleagues made her hesitate. She didn't want to go, but she couldn't ignore the attitude of her colleagues. Getting along well with her colleagues was what Zhou Zhiyuan told her. She had been working hard to do this for the past three years, and she couldn't create a gap because of a dinner.

She hesitated, and seeing her hesitation, her colleagues continued to persuade her, while Liu Mingxue stood aside with a smile on his face. He didn't need to speak at this time.

But at this moment, a clear voice came, "Can I join you?"

Hearing this voice, Shen Lanyin stood up with a whoosh, saw the grass-green figure at the door, and two lines of clear tears instantly slid down. Her legs softened and she sat back down on the chair.

And the colleagues turned their heads to look, and someone exclaimed in surprise: "Zhou Zhiyuan."

It had been more than three years since they had seen this figure. When asked about him, Shen Lanyin didn't answer. The scene of dark clouds instantly climbing onto her cheeks made them afraid to ask again.

And Liu Junling also didn't answer this question, tightly closing her lips to let the questioner know not to ask again.

Zhou Zhiyuan's name was a taboo on this floor. Many people speculated behind their backs, "Zhou Zhiyuan committed a lifestyle problem."

Liu Junling's boyfriend broke up with her because of this problem. With Shen Lanyin's character, she couldn't tolerate such problems even more.

Everyone thought that they had broken up, and then thought that Shen Lanyin had been hurt too badly, and had rejected all suitors for more than three years.

Liu Mingxue, who returned from Country Y, was very excellent and had been pursuing Shen Lanyin for more than a year, but there was still no development between the two, but it allowed everyone to benefit a lot.

People's mouths are short when they eat. After a few meals, everyone thought that the two were the most suitable pair, and it was inevitable to say good things behind their backs. Responding to Liu Mingxue's congratulations was also a kind of help.

But at this moment, Zhou Zhiyuan actually appeared, and squatted in front of Shen Lanyin, reaching out to gently wipe away the tears on her face, and said softly, "Silly girl, is this called crying with joy?"

These words reminded some people of the past. Zhou Zhiyuan still spoke like this, not comforting Shen Lanyin but taking the opportunity to elevate himself. What is called crying with joy? Does Shen Lanyin miss you so much?

And Shen Lanyin actually hugged his neck tightly, and murmured in her mouth: "Don't leave me."

And Zhou Zhiyuan seemed to be swearing: "I will never leave you again."

Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone suddenly felt their eyes heat up, and they had a feeling of wanting to shed tears.

A round of applause rang out, followed by the second and third rounds. In the applause, some people remembered the scene three years ago when Zhou Zhiyuan held Shen Lanyin's hand and walked towards the stairs.

This scene was replayed again. Those who knew and those who didn't know stood in the corridor and applauded, using applause to bless the two of them.

At this time, those who knew remembered the difference. Last time, Shen Lanyin's face was solemn, but this time she smiled so beautifully.

It was this beautiful smiling face that let the people who didn't know know how happy Dr. Shen was.

The two walked down to the fifth floor in the applause, and then saw the doctors, nurses, and patients pouring over. Seeing the two of them, the doctors and nurses standing in front raised their hands and applauded.

The two once again walked through the applause, hand in hand, out of this building.

But this time was different from last time. Zhou Zhiyuan didn't have a jeep. The two walked forward hand in hand, and Shen Lanyin said in a low voice, "Go see my mom."

Zhou Zhiyuan replied softly, "It's not solemn to see her at this time. It's more appropriate to formally visit tomorrow."

He thought that Shen Lanyin would object to this, but she replied softly, "I'll listen to you."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhiyuan turned to look at her, with a sunny smile on his face. Shen Lanyin was also looking at him and smiling. At this time, the two felt incomparably in sync.

Three years of separation made the two of them understand a truth: there is nothing more important than the two of them walking hand in hand.

At this time, there was no jeep or bicycle. The two walked out of the hospital gate hand in hand. Zhou Zhiyuan looked at Shen Lanyin, Shen Lanyin smiled gently, and squeezed his hand before slowly letting go.

The two were going to walk into that courtyard house together. Shen Lanyin took him to the station. She knew which bus route would reach Xinji Road.

She was very familiar with this bus route, very familiar with Ping'an Hutong, and also knew Zhao Ping and Zhang Shan. She often bought things at the store.

When the two walked into this courtyard house, it was already past five o'clock. Looking at the child in Third Aunt's arms, Zhou Zhiyuan knew that he couldn't put the label of infertility on Yan Jiefang, and Wang Daji's child called him "Second Uncle Zhou."

Walking into the middle courtyard, he saw First Aunt and Jia Zhangshi, and then saw a familiar figure walking out of the kitchen. Lin Shurong was preparing dinner.

Today, Lin Shurong was restless. She rushed home at four o'clock in the afternoon to prepare dinner, and still felt anxious in her busy work.

When she saw Zhou Zhiyuan's figure, her heart settled down.

Zhou Zhiyuan had been away for more than three years. He went to complete a secret and arduous task. This was told to her by his leader, Zhang Limin, in person.

She believed, believed that Zhou Zhiyuan was still living well in a distant place, still safe and sound, and that he would return to reunite with his family after completing his mission.

"Zhiyuan has gone on a long trip and will be back soon." She said this to her neighbors.

She still said this the second year, and still said this this year. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, she always firmly believed it.

Now, her firm belief was right, Zhou Zhiyuan was back.

She just hugged Zhou Zhiyuan tightly and said kindly, "You're back." As if Zhou Zhiyuan had gone on a long trip.

Then she turned around and walked into the house, lying on the kang and crying loudly. The pain that had been hidden for more than three years was all vented out at this time.

Seeing Lin Shurong lying on the kang and crying, Zhou Zhiyuan could only silently kneel in front of the heated kang. He knew his mother's suffering. After not seeing each other for three years, Lin Shurong's hair had turned a lot whiter.

And Shen Lanyin took off her shoes and got on the kang, gently stroking Lin Shurong's back. She had witnessed the appearance of these white hairs with her own eyes.

Lin Shurong's hair was half white, and Zhou Dehou's hair was also half white. Seeing Zhou Zhiyuan kneeling on the ground, tears instantly streamed down his face.

In these three years, whenever the two of them talked about Zhou Zhiyuan, they would scold this unfilial son. Even if he was performing a secret mission, it wouldn't delay him from calling home. He didn't have his parents in his heart, so there was no need to worry about this ingrate.

Zhou Dehou scolded him in his mouth, but he understood in his heart that the two of them were just using this method to comfort each other. Zhou Zhiyuan had an accident, what else could they do besides using this method to numb themselves?
