Mu Anan caught the flash of stiffness on Huo Xians face.

She didnt rush him and sat quietly on the steps, waiting for Huo Xian to explain.

Huo Xian kept silent for a long time. Suddenly, he lowered his head and chuckled.

When he got up, he jumped onto the steps and sat on a seat one step higher than Mu Anan. His long legs stepped on the steps next to Mu Anan.

Do you mind smoking? He suddenly asked.

If you give me one, I wont refuse.

..

Mu Anan shrugged. She raised her hand to comb her hair and tied it into a ponytail.

Huo Xian sat behind her.

Usually, Mu Anan kept her hair cloaked. So her face could not be seen very clearly, except for the many black moles on her face.

Now that Mu Anan had tied her hair up, her ears and neck were exposed.

Her small ears were cute, her neck was slender, and her skin was cold and fair.

This was the standard of beauty.

Curly Hair.

Mu Anans soft voice pulled Huo Xian back to his senses, Huh? What the Can you change the way you address me? Curly Hair is not cool at all.

Mu Anan gave him a silent look and left him to take his time to empathise.

She didnt want to bother Huo Xian about how to address him, How long are you going to put it off?

Huh?

Hurry up. 1 still have to go back to work. Mu Anan s.n.a.t.c.hed the cigarette and lighter from his hands and lowered her head to light it.

Huo Xian s.h.i.+fted his body to the side.

Mu Anan stepped on the stairs with one leg bent and leaned against the wall, casually pulling her long ponytail.

Huo Xian teased her, Anan, youre acting more like a gangster than even I am.

Mu Anan raised her eyes and ignored him.

Huo Xian chuckled.

Mu Anan looked wonderful everywhere. She had a good figure, a slender waist, and an aura that was different from other girls.

Instead of being pretentious and bashful, she was frank and direct.

He had nothing to be shy about, Alright.

After saying this, he s.n.a.t.c.hed the lighter back from Mu Anans hand and lit a cigarette himself.

After taking a puff, he confessed, I was the one who stole the medical records.

I know. Dont talk nonsense.

Huo Xian was speechless.

He silently glanced at Mu Anan and sneered, Im here to look for my mom.

As soon as the words came out, a message came in on Mu Anans phone.

It was from Seventh Master.

She unlocked the phone and glanced at Huo Xian, Is your mother hospitalized?

Seventh Master: Im done.

Mu Anan replied: Yes, Im having a heart-to-heart talk with Huo Xian now.

After sending the message, Zong Zhengyu called.

Mu Anan was a little surprised and quickly hung up.

Huo Xian was about to tell a story to Mu Anan and was interrupted by this.

Mu Anan bit the cigarette in her mouth, Sorry, go ahead. Just let me reply to a message.

Mu Anan: Seventh Master, Seventh Master, I cant take your call. Huo Xian has something to say. He seems very sad. We have to be polite. Ill call you back when 1 get back.

As Mu Anan just finished her reply, Huo Xian had already smoked most of his cigarette.

Although he was not very familiar with Mu Anan, he naturally wanted to tell her some things since he had been caught red-handed now.

From the time I understood, 1 was aware that I didnt have a mother. My family said that she died of dystocia. Later, I eavesdropped and found out that my mother had some psychiatric problems and was living in a hospital. This one? Mu Anan asked.

She lowered her head and looked at the quiet phone.

Master Seven didnt send another message.

Yes, she is in this hospital.

Huo Xian fell silent after answering.

Mu Anan had thought that it would be difficult for her to speak about this, so she had been waiting quietly and listening.

However, after three minutes had pa.s.sed, he had no intention of continuing.

Mu Anan deliberated for a moment and finally asked, Since you know that your mother is in the hospital and that you are also doing your interns.h.i.+p here, why didnt you just look for her directly?

I dont know what she looks like, nor do I know her name. Huo Xian replied softly.

Mu Anan was listening to her phone, but her heart was touched when she heard this.

When she looked up, she saw Huo Xian grinding his cigarette b.u.t.t with his head lowered, looking like an abandoned child.

At that moment, Mu Anan felt a sense of empathy.

Back then, after she saw her mother and grandfather die tragically, she felt abandoned by the world for a long time.

Although she was sympathetic, Mu Anan did not know how to comfort him.

He opened his mouth but didnt say anything in the end. He remained silent.

Huo Xian, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders unconcernedly, After all, she is my mother. 1 just want to know what she looks like and what her name is. I want to see her and take care of her.

Can you find out just by stealing medical records directly? Mu Anan asked.

Huo Xian didnt answer immediately.

He took out a second cigarette for himself and smoked silently for a while before saying, After I heard the news, I looked for traces of my mother at home and also tried to beat around the bush. I couldnt ask for anything, but I found a book of medical records from the mental hospital.

It happened in your third year of high school? Mu Anan guessed.

Huo Xian was immersed in his own story. He was surprised to hear Mu Anans question. How did you know?

Hmm Chen Hua and you were in the same high school, so she had heard about it. After all, you were already popular at that time.

Its the natural thing to do. 1 was a campus star, I could fight and I was handsome, and it was understandable that my every move attracted widespread attention.

It was originally a sad topic, but Huo Xians sudden narcissism broke the heavy atmosphere.

When Huo Xian came over and showed his handsome mixed-blood face in front of Mu Anan, Mu Anan mercilessly pushed him away and brought the topic back to business.

Since that, have you found any clues after stealing so much?

The smile on Huo Xians face disappeared instantly at Mu Anans question.

He lowered his eyes, No.

Mu Anan acted as if she expected it and did not show much emotion.

She looked down at her phone.

Seventh Master still did not reply. She did not know if he had gone to work again, but she felt a little disappointed.

Yet Mu Anan did not show it.

She changed her posture slightly and went up a step. She sat beside Huo Xian and patted him on the shoulder as if they were brothers.

Its fine. 1 am here. Tell me about the characteristics of the case. Ill read it for you every day when Im on duty and Ill ask Dr. Chen about it too.

Mu Anan was very open-hearted.

..

She just felt that Huo Xian was a good person. Because of Chen Hua and her empathy, she wanted to help him.

However, she did not notice that her casual pat on the shoulder had hit Huo Xians heart.

For many years after that, when he recalled it, it was all about the dark stairway to safety.

Two cigarettes and the simple and honest promise of a girl.

However, youre also an intern doctor here. You can check on them during a regular ward round. Why do you steal them? Youre getting yourself in trouble. Mu Anan couldnt help but complain.

Huo Xian was helpless, I didnt want to steal them.

Hmm?

Nothing.

Theres one more thing. Mu Anans expression turned serious, When I was changing s.h.i.+fts, senior told me that the person who stole the medical records was going to kill someone. If the doctor and the security guards didnt arrive, you would have killed the patient in Room 723.. Whats going on?
