Chapter 2090: Endless Phone Chat

“There’s no experiment. I’m just messing around with you. I can’t go to the hospital to find you anymore. I’m so bored.”

She would always come by, and when Xu Shu was seeing patients, she’d sit beside him with earphones watching shows. If he wasn’t busy, she’d take off the earphones and watch together with him.

Thanks to her, Xu Shu had watched all the popular TV shows and movies of the moment. However, he had never watched any of them completely, piecing together the plot from bits and pieces he saw and listening to her commentary.

When he’s not around, she sits at home and can’t seem to enjoy watching shows on her own.

“I’m only here for a month. When I’m about to leave, I’ll return with Yaen Chi. If you can wait, save all the episodes, and when I get back, we’ll watch together.”

“No way! They’ll finish airing a whole show in a month!”

Xu Shu asked, “Then what should we do?”

“Brother Shu~~” Xu Tingting whispered, “How about I come to the Capital City to hang out with you?”

Xu Shu sat up in surprise, “Tingting, where are you now?”

Initially, Xu Tingting didn’t understand why he suddenly asked this. After a moment’s reflection, she burst into laughter, “I haven’t come. I’m at home. I just wanted to ask first. I won’t act on impulse.”

Xu Shu felt relieved. He was worried the little girl might be rash and really come looking for him.

“Tingting, I haven’t rented a place. I’m staying at temporary housing allocated by the hospital. It’s very cramped, like a double room in a hotel. I share it with another colleague. The bathroom is communal, and there’s no kitchen. I eat three meals a day at the hospital. If you really come, not only is there nowhere to stay, but you’d also have to find me for meals, and I wouldn’t be able to spare time to take care of you.”

Rarely serious, Xu Tingting didn’t dare to get playful. “I understand. You’re there for study and exchange. I hold back from bothering you during the day. I just miss you too much.”

Xu Shu’s expression softened, and he soothed with a gentle tone, “It won’t be long. I’ll come back once I’m done. Be good at home and don’t annoy your second brother, or I can’t protect you if you get into trouble.”

“I know!”

Xu Tingting pouted, “I called to check on how you’re doing, but ended up getting lectured. Brother Shu, you’re too strict!”

Really?

Xu Shu immediately regretted it, speaking even more tenderly, “I’ll find time to visit a local specialty shop and send you some goodies. How about that?”

“That sounds great!”

Just two sentences were enough to cheer Xu Tingting up. Her voice sounded revitalized, and Xu Shu chuckled, “Then be good and wait for me at home.”

“Okay!”

He glanced at the time on the car display, “It’s getting late, play a little longer then go to sleep, don’t stay up too late.”

“What about you? Are you on night shift at the hospital every night?”

“Not really. They don’t schedule me for surgeries yet. I’ve been having a relatively easy time these past few days, no night shifts, and finish work early. I’m heading back to the hospital to check on Yaen Chi and then going back to the dorm.”

“Is the dorm far from the hospital?”

“Not far, just at the back gate of the hospital, across a street.”

Xu Tingting asked, “Then describe to me, how to get there, are there any good eateries on the street, how are your colleagues at the hospital, are they easy to get along with, how’s the food, is it tasty?”

“Well…”

She asked, he answered, and for things she didn’t ask, he filled in the details.

It’s only been two days, not much could happen, yet talking to her, he didn’t miss a single detail.

About half an hour passed, and Xu Tingting gradually went silent. Xu Shu guessed she might be lying in bed making this call and waited a bit before softly calling, “Tingting?”
