Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Ling looked at the pile of herbs on the table and her emotions were complex.
“How often does Sister He come?” Ye Ling asked.
“About once every two days. She usually comes at night, probably afraid of being seen by others. She only came earlier today,” Yun Jie replied.
Ye Ling nodded, not saying more.
Soon, it was nighttime, and the pharmacy required someone to be on duty. The person on the night shift would have a day off the next day. Ye Ling said to Yun Jie, “I’m on duty tonight. You can go to the break room to rest.”
While the other person didn’t have to be on duty, the pharmacy usually had two people on duty at night for safety.
Yun Jie nodded and stretched, saying, “Alright, I’ll roast the sweet potatoes first.”
After a short while, Yun Jie came back with two piping hot sweet potatoes. She handed one to Ye Ling. After they finished enjoying the sweet and tender potatoes, Yun Jie headed to the rest area.
Before leaving, Yun Jie took out a few books from a cabinet under the counter and handed them to Ye Ling. She said, “These books were brought by Sister Gao. Many of them cover topics within the scope of the medical license examination. Sister Gao always encouraged Ji Mei and me to study hard, aiming to obtain our medical licenses as soon as possible. So, when we have free time, Ji Mei and I read these books. You can also read them during your night shifts.”
Ye Ling flipped through the books, and she noticed that there were notes in many of them, likely made by Gao Min during her previous readings.
This pleasantly surprised Ye Ling, and she nodded, saying, “Alright, I’ll read them carefully.”
Yun Jie smiled and commented, “I believe you’ll be the first among the three of us to obtain your medical license.” Then she added, “I’m off to rest.’
After Yun Jie left, Ye Ling selected a book titled “Emergency Medicine” from the pile and began to read it attentively. She felt a bit regretful for not bringing a pen and paper. When she encountered challenging sections, she read them aloud in a soft voice to enhance her memory.
While Ye Ling was deeply engrossed in her reading, she suddenly felt something was amiss.
Ye Ling raised her head. When she suddenly saw the person standing in front of the door, she was shocked and almost shouted.
The figure looked familiar. Ye Ling recognized it for a while before standing up abruptly.
Min Nan? When did he arrive? How long had he been waiting outside?
Ye Ling walked out from behind the counter, and Min Nan approached her.
“Big Brother Min Nan, why are you here? How long have you been here?” Ye Ling couldn’t hide her astonishment in her voice.
When they parted ways the day before, she felt a touch of sadness, thinking it might be a while before she saw Min Nan again. Yet, unexpectedly, on her very first night at work, she found Min Nan here.
Min Nan’s lips curled up slightly. “I happened to be passing by, and I noticed you were reading, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”
Happened to be passing by? Was it just a coincidence? Ye Ling wondered in her heart.
Nevertheless, she didn’t press the issue and hastily said, “Well, come inside quickly. It’s quite cold outside at night, so make sure you don’t catch a cold.” Min Nan responded as he entered, “If I get sick, you can take care of me, right?”
Ye Ling helplessly glared at him. “Even so, you can’t be so nonchalant about being sick!”
As Ye Ling glared, her bright and round eyes sparkled like stars in the sky, making her exceptionally attractive. Min Nan’s heart skipped a beat, and his gaze remained locked on Ye Ling for a while before he finally averted his eyes. “Alright, I was wrong.”
The tone of the man carried a touch of accommodating tenderness, and even some indulgence, and his deep, magnetic voice, combined with the words, created an atmosphere tinged with a hint of ambiguity.
The man’s words were like feathers lightly brushing against Ye Ling’s heart, eliciting a ticklish sensation. Ye Ling’s heartbeat quickened, and she almost didn’t dare to look up at Min Nan.
She quickly poured a glass of water for Min Nan and noticed that the pharmacy’s door was still wide open. Feeling a bit guilty, she closed the door halfway to prevent anyone from seeing her and Min Nan together when they arrived.
However, with the door now closed, the atmosphere between the two became even more unusual.
“It’s already so late,” Ye Ling said. “You’d better head back soon. Be careful on the way back.”
Min Nan had just received the glass of water from Ye Ling and hadn’t taken a sip when he heard her words..
