Linx Hospital. A private ward equipped with full medical facilities. "Grandpa, Little Mo is here to see you." Though the person hadn’t arrived, a cheerful female voice reached first. Then, the ward door was pushed open from the outside. Jin Jumo walked in carrying a pot of clivia in her arms, smiling as she looked at the "sleeping" old man on the bed, seeking favor. "Grandpa, Little Mo brought you your favorite clivia, take a look, do you like it?" Jin Jumo placed the clivia on the bedside cabinet, casually tossed her bag to the side, and sat down broadly on the edge of the bed, holding the old man’s hand. "Grandpa, there’ve been so many activities at school recently, I’ve been dead busy and haven’t visited you in several days, please don’t be mad at me." The old man lay quietly in the bed, and besides the slight fluctuations of the ECG in the ward, there was no other response. Jin Jumo seemed accustomed to the old man’s "silence," merrily talking about recent events at school, much like a cheerful little sparrow. Ying Jingyao was routinely making rounds. Just as he reached outside the ward, he heard the soft, lilting voice of Jin Jumo. A glint flashed swiftly in Ying Jingyao’s eyes. He clenched the long fingers holding the medical record book slightly before he pushed the door open and walked in. Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Jin Jumo turned her head in confusion to look and, seeing the visitor, her soft pink lips curved up, "Oh, it’s you, Doctor Ying." Ying Jingyao looked at Jin Jumo’s youthful and charming face. He concealed the heat deep in his eyes and raised an eyebrow, "You’ve been away for quite a while, haven’t you? You’re becoming unfamiliar with me." "Doctor Ying, please spare me. There’s just been too much happening at school lately, so I haven’t come to the hospital. During this time, thank you for taking care of my grandpa, Doctor Ying." Jin Jumo stood up, looked earnestly at Ying Jingyao, and said. Ying Jingyao saw Jin Jumo being so formal, nearly bowing in thanks, and his face softened slightly. He hummed lightly with furrowed brows, "You used to call me Brother Ying when we met, but now you keep saying Doctor Ying. Such politeness is almost heartbreaking." "..." Jin Jumo paused slightly, not expecting this to be his concern. She thought he was reprimanding her for not coming to look after her grandpa recently. Embarrassment flashed across Jin Jumo’s face as she awkwardly rubbed her forehead, dryly laughing, "Ha, ha, I didn’t notice..." Due to her embarrassment and uneasiness, a blush spread across Jin Jumo’s fair and tender cheeks. Her beautiful lips pursed slightly, and two faint dimples appeared intermittently at the corners of her mouth. Her watery, bright Taohua eyes darted around like top-grade black glass, purely clear and bright. Ying Jingyao’s gaze was like a magnet fixed on Jin Jumo, each inch of his view tightly attracted by her. His thin lips curled into a gentle arc, "Then remember from today on. Next time, you’ll be penalized!" After all, being grandpa’s attending doctor and considering the care and kindness given during grandpa’s hospital stay, Jin Jumo had no choice but to smile and nod upon hearing this. After completing his routine check on Jin Jiancheng, Ying Jingyao said to Jin Jumo, "May I have the honor of inviting this beautiful lady for a cup of coffee?" "..." Jin Jumo was slightly stunned, "Now?" Ying Jingyao looked at her, with an unwavering gaze indicating to Jin Jumo, yes, indeed, now.
