Chapter 132: 105 This crispy candy heart, is indeed extraordinarily sweet (1 more update)_1

Before finishing his shift, Lu Han took a detour to Tongtong’s ward.

When Tongtong saw Lu Han, his eyes lit up with joy, "Doctor Lu, you’re here? Where’s Doctor Jiang? Why didn’t she come with you?"

"Doctor Jiang is just a colleague of Doctor Lu. Tongtong has been misunderstanding; she is not my girlfriend. It’s not that wherever I go, she must be there, nor wherever she goes, I must be there. Understand?"

"..."

"Tongtong has had his surgery, and he just celebrated his tenth birthday, isn’t it time he grew up?"

"Yes, Tongtong misunderstood, I’m sorry, Doctor Lu." Tongtong was a child who knew to correct his mistakes, and since he had made one, he should apologize to Lu Han.

Lu Han patted his little head, "No need to apologize. It’s also Doctor Lu’s own fault for being so slow at finding a girlfriend that I let our Tongtong worry about my lifelong affair. But Doctor Lu’s slow bird has finally flown home. Are you happy for me, Tongtong?"

"Huh?" Tongtong didn’t understand the meaning of ’flown home’.

"It means I have a girlfriend now. She’s even prepared a big gift for Tongtong. When she has time, she will bring it along to visit you, okay?"

"Okay, thank you Doctor Lu, and Doctor Lu’s girlfriend." The little guy wouldn’t refuse a gift.

"You little rascal." Tongtong’s mom was dissatisfied that the boy agreed to everything so easily. They had already caused Doctor Lu a lot of trouble with their stay in the hospital, and with the previous misunderstanding, Tongtong’s mom felt even more uneasy inside.

"Doctor Lu, I’m really sorry. Tongtong kept saying Doctor Jiang was your girlfriend, and his dad and I actually believed it. This morning in the ward, we misunderstood you and Doctor Jiang, making you explain to us after your shift."

"No, I didn’t come specifically to explain. It’s my girlfriend who wants to visit Tongtong. I just came to tell you in advance so you won’t be caught off guard," said Lu Han with a smile, making sure not to pressure them.

"Thank you. Doctor Lu’s girlfriend is as kind as Doctor Lu," said Tongtong’s mom gratefully, "but his dad and I are leaving tomorrow. It will be the elderly folks at home looking after him here. I’ll let them know."

"Alright, you’ve worked hard."

"It’s you and your girlfriend who’ve worked hard, Doctor Lu. You’re off now, right? Come on, let me walk you out. Tongtong, say goodbye to Doctor Lu."

"Goodbye, Doctor Lu," Tongtong quickly said.

"Tongtong’s mom, please stay, I’ll be leaving first." Lu Han moved towards the door, not letting Tongtong’s mom walk him out.

"Okay, Doctor Lu, take care," she said.

Not long after Lu Han left, Tongtong’s dad came back. He had brought some boiled water, and then he said to Tongtong’s mom, "I’ve got the train tickets for tomorrow, the four o’clock one."

The man’s voice also choked up, filled with a deep sense of reluctance and reminiscence.

Tongtong’s mom glanced towards her son, thinking about the fact that although their son hadn’t been discharged yet, they, as parents, had to go far away to earn for the family’s expenses.

Feeling a bit reluctant, yet helpless.

Some say not to have children if you can’t afford it, but in fact, when they had Tongtong, they had money. No one would have expected that their stable business would suddenly suffer such heavy losses due to a natural disaster.

Having fallen from their previous prosperity, they had no choice but to work to pay off debts and maintain the basic needs of their family.

Putting her emotions in order, Tongtong’s mom thought about what Doctor Lu had just told them and said to Tongtong’s dad, "We can’t afford to misunderstand Doctor Lu and Doctor Jiang as a couple anymore."

"Hm? Why not? Doctor Lu and Doctor Jiang would make a handsome couple, and didn’t Tongtong say they were dating? Why the secrecy?" Tongtong’s dad naively asked.

Tongtong’s mom smacked him lightly, "What secrecy? Doctor Lu himself denied it. He said he’s not dating Doctor Jiang, and from now on, we must not spread such talk."

Tongtong’s dad: "..."

"Yes, dad, Doctor Lu said he’s already ’flown home,’ and also, he said that when his girlfriend has time, she will come to visit me with her and the gift," Tongtong happily chimed in.

Tongtong’s dad teased him, "I think our Tongtong is probably looking forward to the gift Doctor Lu’s girlfriend will bring more than meeting her, right?"

Tongtong’s mom couldn’t help but laugh on the side.

Making the best of a bad situation was exactly what this family was doing.

As the family of three chatted and laughed about Doctor Lu and his unseen girlfriend in the ward, outside the door, Jiang Shanshan’s hand, holding a carton of milk, slowly clenched, her knuckles turning white.
