Chapter 108 - Confession

"Rumble …"

His phone suddenly vibrated, causing Lin Sitong to almost jump out of shock.

Lightly looking around, Lin Sitong met Zhang Ke's pair of thief eyes. She squinted her eyes, and waved her fist at Zhang Ke as if showing off, and her eyes fell on her phone once again.

For some reason, Lin Sitong suddenly felt a bit nervous.

He gathered up his courage and unlocked his phone. A new message appeared on the screen.

Senior Brother: Why is there such a thought?

There was no rejection or affirmation. When Lin Sitong saw this reply, her heart that had been speeding up gradually calmed down, a wave of emotion rose in her heart. It was unknown whether she heaved a sigh of relief or disappointment.

Dong: You've helped me so much. I've been back for so long, it's normal to treat you to a meal of thanks ~

Senior Brother: No need, you are my junior sister.

Lin Sitong's mind heated up, her fingers could not control her brain as she quickly typed out a line of words — —

Dong: Is it because I'm your junior sister that you treat me so well?

Hair... It was sent out!

Lin Sitong stared at her phone, she wanted to travel back to tens of seconds ago and tie up her hands.

The person didn't reply for a long time.

Lin Sitong bit her lips lightly. Was she scaring Senior Brother?

Just as Lin Sitong lost all confidence and was about to close the app, the person on the other side finally sent a message.

Senior Brother: No.

A burst of pleasant surprise instantly came into Lin Sitong's mind.

Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

But in the next moment, his smile froze on Lin Sitong's lips.

Senior Brother: I already said, you are very talented and shouldn't be wasted.

Dong: Is that all?

Lin Sitong pursed her lips, the smile gradually disappearing from her face.

The other side didn't want to talk about this anymore, so they changed the topic.

Senior Brother: I will see you when the time is right.

Lin Sitong's finger hovered in midair, and after a good long while, she sent a "good" word over, and quickly exited the software. She looked at the darkened Mobile Screen in a daze.

"Dr. Lin?"

"Lin Sitong!"

Someone seemed to be calling him.

Lin Sitong blinked her eyes, and slowly woke up from her thoughts. As soon as she reacted, she saw that everyone in the office was looking at him.

"How... "What's wrong?" Lin Sitong stuttered in fright.

Zhang Ke sneakily glanced over.

Following Zhang Ke's line of sight, Lin Sitong saw Pei Qingheng standing at the entrance of the office, with a handsome face facing the light, looking at him.

"Dr. Lin." Pei Qingheng slowly said, "I have something to talk to you about."

"Oh …" Lin Sitong weakly replied as she slowly stood up and walked towards Pei Qingheng.

After Lin Sitong left, what was initially a quiet office suddenly exploded into an uproar, as everyone was discussing what kind of punishment Lin Sitong would receive this time round.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with the Dr. Lin. If it was me, I would have made the same diagnosis. It's just that the patient she met was too difficult to deal with. " Fang Kaiyuan revealed an expression of teeth pain.

"Yeah, what bad luck."

"From the looks of it, Director Pei does not plan to protect her anymore, right?"

"Ai, I can only see the newbie laughing, but I can't see the old one crying."

"Who's the new guy?"

"Of course, of course …" The man mouthed the word "Chu".

Zhang Ke could not help but frown: "Aren't you all very idle?"

Alright, Dr. Zhang. I know you are protecting Dr. Lin, so we won't say anymore. That person teased them as she walked out of the office.

Lin Sitong had no idea how the discussion about him in the office had turned out, so she quietly followed Pei Qingheng into his office.

"Director Pei, what do you want to talk about?" Lin Sitong stood at the side of the door, unwilling to take another step closer into the office, she straightforwardly asked.

Before Pei Qingheng could reply, Lin Sitong said again: "If it's about that patient, I'm sorry, I don't want to talk about it."

After saying that, Lin Sitong raised her head and looked Pei Qingheng straight in the eyes, "I think Director Pei should be clear that there is nothing wrong with my diagnosis, and there is nothing wrong with the outcome of the diagnosis."

"That's not the problem." Pei Qingheng's amber eyes flashed with helplessness, "Do you think I don't believe you?"

"You believe me?" Lin Sitong asked.

Recalling the cold expression on Pei Qingheng's face before, Lin Sitong's heart started to have some uncomfortable feelings.

He should not have such an expression. It should be...

In front of Lin Sitong's eyes, the corner of Pei Qingheng's mouth rose, his smile was frivolous and evil, but her eyes were extremely serious.

What was he thinking about …

Lin Sitong was shocked by her sudden thought.

She had initially scolded Zhuo Junyan for stepping on two boats, but what difference was there between her current thoughts and his?

Thinking back to the reply the Senior Brother gave him and also thinking back to what Zhang Ke had told him on the roof, Lin Sitong pursed his lips, feeling that it was a bit bitter.

"…" Pei Qingheng opened and closed his mouth as he said something.

However, Lin Sitong, who had sunk into her own emotions, could only watch in a daze, and could not hear what Pei Qingheng had said at all.

After a while, she came back to her senses. "I'm sorry, what did you say just now?"

A trace of helplessness appeared in Pei Qingheng's eyes. "Didn't you hear what I just said?"

Looking at Pei Qingheng's expression, Lin Sitong's chest began to accumulate complicated feelings.

It shouldn't be like this.

Lin Sitong closed her eyes, she did not want to stay any longer, so she bent down suddenly and bowed to Pei Qingheng, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Director Pei."

He then turned around and quickly left.

Looking at Lin Sitong's back, which seemed to be escaping for her life, Pei Qingheng's eyes darkened. The finger in her pocket touched the cold outer shell of the phone.

He had just told Lin Sitong a lot, explained his relationship with Chu Xue, and told her how much he truly loved her.

In his entire life, Lin Sitong was the only one who could make him bend his waist and explain things, and was also the only one who moved his heart.

But Lin Sitong's reply was — "I'm sorry."

Only the Senior Brother can do it? ~ Can't Pei Qingheng do the same?

Pei Qingheng's amber eyes flashed with complex emotions.

Escaping Pei Qingheng's field of vision, Lin Sitong wandered around the hospital's garden in a daze. Looking at her watch, Lin Sitong saw that it was time to get off work. She sighed.

Ever since he returned home, he had become more and more unlike her.

Lin Sitong! Don't forget your own dream! You want to be a good doctor!

After he finished breathing his last, Lin Sitong took a deep breath, braced himself and walked out of the hospital.
