Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu will come back and spend the night tonight.

"What happened to Xingchen?"

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother coming down from the second floor and Shen Li asked directly.

I was in a hurry and drove very fast when I came back just now. The journey that usually takes 30 minutes took less than 20 minutes today.

Seeing Shen Li coming back, Mrs. Shen looked upstairs and said, "If I could find out, would I still call you back?" She added, "She has been lying on the bed motionless for the whole night. When I asked her questions, she just said she was fine."

"Is that what it looks like when nothing happens?"

Shen Xingchen looked depressed, and Mrs. Shen was more worried than seeing Shen Li feeling depressed.

Girls are always more valuable than boys.

If there was no other way, she wouldn't have called Shen Li back.

Over the years, she could naturally see that in Shen Xingchen's heart, she was more dependent on Shen Li, because Shen Li took care of her more and educated her more.

After hearing what his mother said, Shen Li went upstairs without saying anything else.

When he arrived at Shen Xingchen's room, Shen Li raised his hand to open the door, and saw Shen Xingchen lying on the bed at a glance.

Even though he hadn't opened his mouth to speak, even though he hadn't asked her anything, Shen Liguang could tell from her back that she had run into trouble, something at work.

On the other side of the bed, Shen Xingchen heard the sound of the door opening again. She did not turn around, but said weakly: "Aunt grandma, I'm fine. I'll be fine after a good sleep tomorrow. I'll get up and eat tomorrow."

Listening to Shen Xingchen's words, Shen Li didn't say anything, but just walked over.

When he reached the bed, he pulled out the chair next to it and sat down.

Hearing the noise behind him, Shen Xingchen was startled at first, then he raised his head, turned around and looked to the side.

The moment Shen Xingchen saw that it was Shen Li who came back, he was instantly surprised.

The next second, his eyes turned red.

She didn't know why, but the moment she saw Shen Li, she suddenly felt wronged and wanted to cry.

Despite trying hard to control my emotions all night.

After staring at Shen Li for a long time, Shen Xingchen shouted with a little grievance: "Uncle."

The little girl seemed to have been through a lot when she heard the word 'uncle'.

Then he asked, "Uncle, why are you back?"

Shen Li did not directly answer Shen Xingchen's question. He just raised his hand to stroke her hair and asked, "Why don't you eat? Why don't you come downstairs?"

When Shen Li asked this question, Shen Xingchen just looked at him with red eyes without saying anything.

She didn't know what to say or where to start.

Shen Xingchen didn't say anything, and Shen Li didn't ask her any more questions. He just stroked her hair to comfort her.

Shen Li’s gentleness broke Shen Xingchen’s psychological defenses no longer.

She jumped up from the bed, opened her arms and hugged him.

With her face pressed against his, she was still sad, extremely sad.

Even though she had just told Shen Li some time ago to try to let him go, to try not to like him, but the moment she saw him, he was still everything to her.

Shen Xingchen rushed over to hug her, and Shen Li placed his hands on her back, stroking her gently to comfort her.

The two hugged each other for a long time, and Shen Xingchen said softly: "The operation this afternoon failed, and the patient died on the operating table."

When Shen Xingchen finished speaking, Shen Li's right hand, which was stroking her back, paused.

He said that he didn't speak harshly to her a few days ago and they communicated well, so she shouldn't be in such an emotional state.

After a pause, Shen Li gently stroked her back again.

At this time, Shen Xingchen continued, "Although Professor Zhao said before the operation that the success rate was not high, I was still affected by seeing the patient die during the operation."

After a pause, Shen Xingchen continued, "I wonder if the situation would be better if Professor Lin was here today."

After Shen Xingchen said this sadly, Shen Li comforted her and said, "You have tried your best. This is not your fault."

After Shen Li finished speaking, Shen Xingchen buried his face in his chest.

Yes, despite all the efforts, I failed to save the other person’s life and failed to let him live longer.

The same goes for her relationship with Shen Li. They try so hard and like each other so much, but they can't be together.

Shen Xingchen buried her face in his chest. Shen Li said, "Xingchen, you will face many such things in the future, and you will see more, even the most selfish of human nature."

"Yeah." After listening to Shen Li's words, Shen Xingchen first responded, and then looked up at Shen Li: "Uncle, life is so tiring."

Shen Xingchen had this feeling a long time ago. He had to study when he was a child, work when he grew up, and deal with the mess in life.

All in all, happy days are always few and far between.

Shen Xingchen said she was tired, and Shen Li rubbed her hair.

How can life not be tiring?

The two of them hugged each other quietly. Mrs. Shen listened outside the door for a long time but didn't hear what they were saying.

Inside the room, after being hugged by Shen Li for a while, Shen Xingchen's mood slowly recovered.

There is no way, Shen Li can heal her. As long as she sees Shen Li, she will feel like there is a mountain behind her and she is not afraid of anything.

It's quiet at night.

Slowly withdrawing from his arms, she said, "Uncle, I'm fine." Then she added, "I just thought of my parents."

The moment the operation was declared a failure, Shen Xingchen subconsciously thought of the time when she was six years old and her parents were in a car accident and she was sitting alone outside the operating room.

Alone and abandoned by the whole world.

So, facing the failed operation for the first time today and the patient who passed away, Shen Xingchen was in a low mood.

Shen Xingchen stepped out of his arms, and Shen Li said, "It's all over. Your parents are always by your side. They will protect you."

Then he added: "If you are still affected by it in the future, then see if you can change jobs."

If she would always be affected, Shen Li would not want her to continue being a doctor.

"Uncle, I will adjust."

After staying here with Shen Xingchen for a while, Shen Li got up and went back to his room.

As a result, when he opened the door and was about to go back, he saw his mother outside.

Without speaking immediately, he closed the door first.

Mrs. Shen saw that he had closed the door, so she asked, "What's wrong with Xingchen today? Why is he so depressed?"

Shen Li said: "The surgery this afternoon failed, and the patient died on the operating table."

When Mrs. Shen heard this, her heart immediately tightened: "Just tell her not to be a doctor, otherwise she will always have to face these things."

"I'm much better now. Mom, you can go back to your room and rest. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes."

As he said this, he turned Mrs. Shen around, asked her to go back to her room, and then he went back to his room as well.

Inside the room, Shen Xingchen was lying on the bed with his eyes open. Suddenly, there was a movement at the door, and it seemed like someone was opening the door.
