Zhang Qian looked at her intently for a long time.
In fact, Zhang Qian wasn't completely oblivious; Lin Shuyu's kindness indeed moved him.
But as long as he thought of her grandfather Jing Taicheng and her relentless pressure on He Tang,
that bit of emotion instantly vanished.
He withdrew his hand from her palm without a word, slowly moved his body, and lay back on the hospital bed.
He lay on his side, his back facing Lin Shuyu, and said, "Get some sleep. Jin Ling is coming over tomorrow morning to discuss a case with me. I need to keep a clear head."
Zhang Qian used this as a reason to refuse communication with Lin Shuyu.
Lin Shuyu felt disappointed, but she couldn't say anything.
She got up from the chair and lay down on her own bed.
Moonlight filtered through the curtains, spreading silver radiance across the floor.
But in the quiet hospital room, neither of them could fall asleep.
Each lost in their own thoughts.
