Chapter 625: 625: Showcasing the Heart of a Few Feet of Banana Leaves

Now, she understood that he indeed could be persuasive.

At that moment, Shen Chi’s cell phone rang. It was on the side as he was driving, so he said to Xu Chaomu, “See who it is.”

“Oh.”

Xu Chaomu picked up his phone, and it turned out to be Shen Di.

“It’s Sister.”

“You answer it.”

Xu Chaomu hesitated a bit. She hadn’t been home for nearly a week; how could she start this conversation…

“Answer!” Shen Chi barked.

“Oh, what are you snarling at,” Xu Chaomu retorted with a pout.

“Sis,” Xu Chaomu glared at him and answered the call.

“Chaomu, where are you?”

“I’m in Fourth Brother’s car, heading towards the Shen Family,” Xu Chaomu replied.

“I forgot to bring an umbrella when I went out, and I’m currently at Luo Medical Group; ask Achi if it’s on the way.”

“On the way,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

“Fourth Brother says it’s on the way.”

“Okay then, I’ll wait here for you. Call me when you arrive,” Shen Di said gently.

“Alright, Sis,” Xu Chaomu said. “By the way, where is Mr. Qin?”

“I sent him to buy me some food. He’s probably also stuck on the road because of the heavy rain now; let’s pick him up later,” Shen Di said with a laugh.

“Okay, Sister, wait for us for a bit, don’t be in a hurry,” Xu Chaomu said.

“I’m not in a hurry, and neither should you be. The roads are slippery when it’s raining; tell Achi to be careful driving.”

“Mhm.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chaomu glanced at Shen Chi.

“Sister went to the hospital again?” Xu Chaomu felt quite upset.

“Yes, I guess she’s running out of the medicine she brought from Australia.”

Xu Chaomu felt as if something was stuck inside her chest; the feeling was not pleasant, but there was no way to get rid of it…

Luo Medical Group.

Shen Di was standing at the entrance of the hospital. The rain outside was really heavy, and she tilted her head slightly to look at the chaotic sky.

The strong wind blew her long hair, which gently caressed her cheeks. The wind brought rain, which fell on her face, cold and chilly.

She reached out to catch the rain falling from the sky; as soon as she stretched out her hand, the rain wet her palm.

Soon, her palm was filled with transparent rainwater.

When it was full, the water would flow through the gaps between her fingers, and quickly, new rain would fill her palm again.

She looked up, squinting her eyes to watch the earnestly falling rain.

The wind lifted her long hair and the hem of her ankle-length sapphire blue dress, while the several bracelets on her wrist collided to produce a “ding ding ding” crisp sound.

There were many people in the hospital, constantly passing by her side; she stood still, quietly watching the rain.

Gradually, a faint smile curved her lips.

She also liked to watch the rain when she was in Australia.

“Dr. Wen, shall we go sing karaoke after work?”

“No, I have to come back for the night shift later.”

A familiar voice came from behind her, cultured and elegant, yet deep and magnetic.

That voice, Shen Di knew all too well.

She withdrew her hand and lowered her head to walk away from the doorway, planning to find another place to stroll.

“Alright, bye, don’t work too hard,” a few young nurses waved at Wen Zhiyuan.

Wen Zhiyuan saw the blue silhouette not far away, nodded at them, and then strode forward.

He was dressed in a white coat, having just come out of the operating room and had yet to change out of his work attire.

Shen Di was walking ahead; as she did, an arm blocked her path.

“What a coincidence, Miss Shen,” Wen Zhiyuan said blandly, his face expressionless.

Shen Di slowly raised her head, her eyes cool.

“Indeed, quite a coincidence, Dr. Wen.”

“Feeling unwell?” Wen Zhiyuan furrowed his brows, his bright eyes fixed on her.

“My health is quite good. I was planning to come for a pre-marital checkup. Unfortunately, I encountered heavy rain and also unfortunately ran into Dr. Wen.”

“Don’t try to lie in my place,” Wen Zhiyuan said mercilessly. “Our hospital is not conducting pre-marital checkups today.”

“Yes, that’s quite unfortunate. I didn’t investigate beforehand, otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to this hospital,” Shen Di looked at him.

Their gazes locked, neither of them yielding.

Shen Di truly did not expect to find Wen Zhiyuan working at this hospital.

She only knew it was the best private hospital in C City but had not expected that Wen Zhiyuan had become a doctor here after returning to China.

“Your boyfriend didn’t come to pick you up?” Wen Zhiyuan asked, frowning.

He certainly didn’t fail to detect the sarcasm in Shen Di’s tone. Even after five years, she still had the same disposition.

“He went to buy me some snacks. He’ll be here shortly,” Shen Di replied nonchalantly.

“It’s cold in the rain; don’t stand outside.”

Wen Zhiyuan’s voice was cool and detached, and after speaking, he seemed to sigh.

Turning around, he left Shen Di, opened the umbrella in his hand, and headed for another building.

The rain was pouring down; soon, his figure disappeared from her sight.

Shen Di looked ahead, where the air was filled with misty rain and blurred water vapor. Raindrops fell on the ground, causing tiny splashes of water droplets.

In the low-lying areas, the rainwater accumulated, forming small ponds, and the air was saturated with the scent of rain and soil.

He walked under the umbrella, each step firm, his spine straight as a pencil.

After turning a corner, when Shen Di looked ahead again, his white figure was gone…

The continuous rain sounded in her ears; the world seemed blurred and formless as dusk gradually fell, and the wind kept blowing her dress, yet she didn’t feel the slightest chill outside.

No one witnesses a solitary rain by the western window; it lays bare the heart in every inch of the banana leaves.

“Adi.”

At that moment, a man in a deep blue shirt approached, his hands carrying a bag of snack wrappers.

Rain fell on him. In his hands was only a newspaper for shelter, which, however, was already soaked through.

“Chen!”

Shen Di called out, her face anxious; why didn’t he wait for the rain to stop before coming over?

Qin Chen hastily stepped under the eaves, finally out of the rain.

Shen Di quickly took out a face towel from her bag and wiped the rain trailing down his face.

“Why didn’t you wait for me in the shop?”

Seeing that his shirt was wet, now almost ink-black, Shen Di was worried.

Qin Chen shook off the rain on his body; thankfully, aside from a bit of cold, there was no great harm.

“I was worried you’d be waiting anxiously,” he said with a smile.

“It’s my fault; suddenly, I really wanted sweets,” Shen Di smiled, continuously wiping the rain off him.

“I’m fine; I brought you rainbow candy, as well as milk candy, coconut candy, chocolate candy…you pick,” Qin Chen raised the shopping bag.

Shen Di laughed, “Am I being too greedy?”

“I want some too!” Qin Chen also laughed.

“Come inside,” Shen Di pulled him into the hospital. “Should I find you a change of clothes?”

“No need; it’s summer, like going swimming,” Qin Chen said.

“So… shall we have some candy?”

“Hmm… that, we can do.”

Qin Chen set the shopping bag on the chair, picked quite a few candies out of it.
