Chapter 189: Date

Being together constituted a date, and by that logic, the most common place she and he had "dated" was the operating room.

But on further reflection, there was nothing bad about this. It was where they had devoted their entire lives, striving for life, for ideals, battling together at the operating table—there was no more sacred a date than this.

She looked up at him with a smile, leaning on his shoulder.

He first dropped her off at her home, then when he returned to his own, Ning Xiang was still reading a storybook. Seeing him, she happily called out, "Daddy, I'm just going to read one last piece before sleep, can you help me read it?"

"Sure, come to the room," he said, tossing his car keys.

Ning Xiang hopped and skipped as she followed him upstairs, deftly climbing into her own bed, her round little head sticking out of the covers, waiting for him to read her a story.

He began to read, and before he had finished one story, Ning Xiang had fallen asleep.
