Chapter 1122: Chapter 1116: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (Final Conclusion) Part 4

"I miss you!"

Bai Lu was already hungry to the point of panic, and now her heartbeat quickened, her face flushed with color, and for a moment, she inwardly cursed not good.

This Young Master, when he gets saucy, really is the death of her!

But as much as she complained in her mind, a thread of sweetness welled up in her heart.

She bowed her head, her lips curved slightly, and her fingers moved swiftly as she replied with the same concise four characters.

"I miss you too!"

A thousand words couldn’t compare to the sentiment in "I miss you!"

"Junior Sister, what are you looking at, you look so happy!"

A familiar voice drifted down from above. Bai Lu looked up to meet Lu Qingxu’s eyes, which were brimming with a smile.

She smiled and nodded at him, "Senior Brother, are you on the night shift?"

Lu Qingxu saw her changing the subject and tactfully didn’t press further, simply handing over the lunchbox he was carrying.

"Yes, I’m on the night shift. I heard at the Nurse Station that you had a major surgery today, you haven’t eaten or drunk anything for over a dozen hours. Coincidentally, I haven’t eaten dinner either, so I ordered a pancake for us. It’s still warm, you should eat quickly."

Bai Lu was indeed famished, or else she wouldn’t be sitting here waiting to regain her strength before heading back to her office.

She took the lunchbox gratefully and sincerely said, "Thanks for the timely help, Senior Brother. I was just thinking I might faint right here in the corridor from hunger."

Though she had once rejected Lu Qingxu, after the awkward phase passed, their relationship gradually returned to the cordial brother-sister dynamic of before. Occasionally bringing each other a meal or late-night snack, whether it was him or her, didn’t seem like a big deal.

After all, given their profession, situations like nearly fainting from hunger in front of the Operation Room were not uncommon.

Whether as senior and junior or as colleagues, bringing a bite to eat to one another was no big deal.

Bai Lu uncovered the lunchbox and picked up a piece of pancake, biting into it with gusto.

"Delicious, Senior Brother, do you want some?"

Lu Qingxu shook his head, "You eat, I’ve already eaten."

Once Bai Lu had finished the pancake and contentedly belched, having drunk more than half a bottle of water, she finally felt her strength return.

"Senior Brother, thanks for the pancake. It’s like I’ve been fully revived," she said.

Lu Qingxu shook his head with a smile, "It’s nothing, not worth mentioning."

A moment later, he turned to look at her again, "Junior Sister, congratulations on you and Young Master Yan."

Obviously, he had also seen that post in her Friends Circle.

Bai Lu smiled broadly in return, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Lu Qingxu smiled too, "Be happy!"

...

The time Bai Lu was supposed to rest was thus taken up by research and surgery, but she harbored no complaints.

This was, after all, always the focus of her life.

In these last few days, she also needed to keep herself busy to reduce the time spent missing Yan Xu, letting busyness dilute the longing in her heart a little.

That Yan Xu, aside from sending a message on the day of the surgery, there was no word from him for the next few days. Bai Lu responded to his message full of girlish sentiments, which he seemed not to have seen, as he hadn’t replied to this day.

Bai Lu could completely understand the unique nature of his work and that it was beyond his control. Busy as she was, worried as she might be for his safety, overall, her mood was still quite good.

However, Yan Yuan, the elder entrusted by Yan Xu to Bai Lu’s care, was worried that she would feel neglected due to his work and it might cause a rift between them. So, during meals, he would deliberately speak in favor of his nephew and grandson.

Bai Lu certainly understood the old man’s mindset and inwardly chuckled, but on the surface, she obediently agreed.

"Grandpa, I understand. Like me, don’t I often have to return to the hospital just because of one phone call?"

As it turned out, Bai Lu’s words were prophetic.

On the seventh day after Yan Xu left for his mission, Bai Lu suddenly received a notification from her superiors that an epidemic of unknown origin had broken out in a remote village in the Northwest. The Public Hospital and all Branch Hospitals took it very seriously, working overtime for two days to organize core personnel from all hospitals to study the Epidemic Reports sent from the epidemic zone.

As a key member of the Hospital Side, Bai Lu naturally attended the Seminar.

The epidemic in the area exploded on the third day, with the first medical team sent from various cities feeling powerless. The latest Epidemic Report showed that the disease was spreading to surrounding villages at a terrifying speed.

Along with the Epidemic Reports sent back, there were also reports from the epidemic area medical teams requesting reinforcements.

That day, key members from the Public Hospital and Branch Hospitals gathered together. The Dean first explained the critical situation in the epidemic area, and at the end, called for volunteers from among the key staff to sign up for support.
