Xiao Lin walked down the hallway of the school hospital, the sound of his leather shoes crisp against the concrete floor, his grip on the medical records tightened as he pushed open the door to the ward.
"Niu Niu, have you been good today?" A smile filled his handsome face, the white coat he wore emitted the scent of disinfectant; Xiao Lin was accustomed to soaking his work clothes in disinfectant before wearing them again, simply as a habit without any particular reason.
"I've been good, but mom hasn't been." Her sweet voice carried a hint of protest upon seeing Xiao Lin, her pouting lips made a smacking sound.
"Ah, why does our lovely Niu Niu look unhappy? Come, here's a gift." Xiao Lin lovingly stroked Niu Niu's hair, placing candy in her palm: "Tell Brother, how hasn't mom been good?"
"Mom she..."
"Niu Niu!" Dan Qing sat up from the bed, her voice stopping her daughter's unrestrained words: "Don't disturb Dr. Xiao, be good."
