That night, Qianxing tossed and turned, dreaming and waking up, and it seemed that he couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.

This experience exhausted her to the extreme, and it wasn't until four or five in the morning that she finally couldn't bear the mental exhaustion and fell asleep.

However, she didn't sleep well this time. Only about two hours later, Qianxing suddenly woke up from her dream. When she opened her eyes, she realized that it was already dawn.

This realization suddenly woke her up.

At the same time, what happened before was intertwined with last night's dream, making her feel even more confused.

How long had she been dreaming? How many things had she dreamed about?

Is this the morning when she and Huo Jin had a nice porridge together, or... another morning?

Qianxing couldn't help but press her forehead, turned her head inadvertently, and suddenly saw her mobile phone on the bedside.

Unlike the tattered cell phone she had before, this one is new.

She bought it yesterday.

yesterday……

Yesterday she broke her mobile phone while catching a pervert in the morning, so she went to buy a new mobile phone. When she came back from the police station, she went directly to the hospital to find Huo Jinbei. In Huo Jinbei's office, they...

Qianxing suddenly opened the quilt and got out of bed, opened the door and walked out, directly arriving at the door of Huo Jinbei's room.

Standing at the door of his room, she was about to reach out and knock on the door. She raised her hand in the air, but paused.

If he hadn't woken up yet, wouldn't she have disturbed him?

But at this moment, she really couldn't hold it back and wanted to appear in front of him eagerly to confirm to him that what happened in his office yesterday really happened.

She raised her hand in the air, clenching it into a fist and then unclenching it, and then clenching it into a fist again. She struggled several times, but still couldn't make up her mind.

"If you really don't know whether to knock on the door, you can open the door and take a look first."

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, and Qianxing's whole body suddenly froze.

After a while, she turned around with some difficulty and saw Huo Jinbei standing next to the dining table.

At this moment, he was wearing home clothes, with an apron tied around his waist. There was a chopping board on the dining table in front of him. There was flour, a rolling pin, and stuffing on the chopping board. In his hand, there was a dumpling.

It slowly took shape and was then placed among more than a dozen companions.

Then, Huo Jinbei slowly raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes clear, gentle and calm.

Qianxing was a little stunned at first, but after seeing his appearance, he suddenly couldn't regain his senses.

Huo Jinbei's appearance made her feel strange and familiar at the same time.

Strange because compared to Huo Jinbei some time ago, he seemed to be much less cold and indifferent.

Familiar because... the Huo Jinbei she met at the beginning seemed to be like this...

Qianxing unconsciously took two steps closer to him, and her eyes fell on his face with a somewhat straight gaze.

Seeing her stiff limbs and expression, Huo Jinbei suddenly waved to her.

Like a puppet on strings, Qianxing walked up to him obediently.

Then, Huo Jinbei stretched out his hand and touched her forehead with the back of his clean hand.

"Do you have a fever?" Huo Jinbei asked.

Qianxing shook his head.

Huo Jinbei took off his hand, glanced at her, and asked, "Didn't you sleep well?"

Qian Xing nodded.

Huo Jinbei looked at her again and said, "I told you that you don't have to get up early today. You can go to sleep for a while."

Qianxing's mind was in chaos, she just thought that what he said was what he said. He told her to go to sleep for a while, she nodded randomly, and then turned around obediently.

But the moment she turned around, something suddenly flashed through her mind.

She suddenly turned her head again and looked at Huo Jinbei in front of her.

Huo Jinbei was about to roll out the dough again, but when he saw that she had come to her senses again, her expression seemed to be different, he stopped what he was doing, took a tissue to wipe his hands, and looked at her quietly.

This time, it was Qianxing's turn to ask questions.

"You told me not to get up early yesterday because you would get up and prepare breakfast?"

Hearing this question, Huo Jinbei lowered his head and looked at the pile of things in front of him. It was obvious that he had answered her question.

But facing Qianxing's somewhat anxious gaze, he still nodded slowly.

"You went to bed so early yesterday just so you could make dumplings in the morning?" Qianxing asked again.

Huo Jinbei shook his head.

Qianxing's heart couldn't help but make a "dong" sound, but she heard Huo Jinbei say: "Making dumplings was a temporary idea. As for going to bed so early yesterday, it was because I had reached the critical point and had to rest."

Qianxing was startled for a moment, and then she remembered that he had just experienced two days and one night of working shifts, either in the operating room or seeing patients, all of which required a high degree of concentration and consumed a lot of energy.

That means——

"Then when you came back yesterday, you didn't say much because you reached...the critical point?" Qianxing asked again.

Hearing Qianxing's question, Huo Jinbei slowly crossed his arms.

"Yes." He looked at her, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Qianxing looked at him blankly, and it took him a while to remember that he indeed had another question to ask him.

"We..." She looked at him, and after a long time, she only said these two words.

"Huh?" Huo Jinbei raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting for her to continue.

Qianxing couldn't help but pursed her lips.

"What are we?" Seeing that she seemed unable to ask, Huo Jinbei simply helped her continue.

"We, we..." Qianxing repeated these two words, but his voice became lower and lower.

Huo Jinbei seemed to have trouble hearing, lowered his head, moved closer to her, and continued to be tempting: "What are we?"

As soon as Qianxing raised her eyes, her eyes fell on his lips.

At the same time, the message she got yesterday suddenly echoed repeatedly in her mind——

If it happens once, it’s a dream. If it happens three or five times, it’s not a dream after all, right?

Qianxing's eyes slowly moved up to meet Huo Jinbei's eyes.

His eyes were clear in black and white, as clear as water.

It is not a cold spring in the mountains, but a gurgling spring water.

Qianxing suddenly leaned forward and pressed her lips against his.

This time, she is proactive, sober, and most importantly, follows her heart.

This is the first time in a long time.

Huo Jinbei just stood quietly without moving.

He really didn't move. Whether it was his hands, lips, or the arc of his neck when he lowered his head, they remained unchanged.

Until Qianxing slowly left his lips, pursed her lips again, and raised her eyes to look at him.

"Are you sure?" Huo Jinbei suddenly asked.

confirmed.

Not a dream.

Qianxing thought this, but just bit her lip and did not answer.
