Lu Cong rubbed his stressed brow as he walked, "Just got out of the operating room, planning to go home."
"Great timing! Swing by the bar on your way and help me send a woman back to her hotel."
Lu Cong: "Send a woman back to her hotel? What's going on?"
Mo Shiting responded dismissively: "You'll know once you get there."
With that, he hung up the phone.
Lu Cong: "???"

By the time they returned to Blue Sky and Blue Sea, it was already midnight.
Mo Shiting carried Gu Li straight up the stairs and, after a moment's hesitation, decided to put her on his own bed.
He took off her shoes, covered her with a blanket, and was preparing to leave when she grabbed his finger.
"Brother Ting..."
The girl's drowsy voice carried with it a bewitching, innocent charm.
Something stirred in Mo Shiting's heart, and he turned to look at her. Her eyes were tightly closed. Maybe it was just sleep talk after all.
As he tried to pry her fingers off of his, she suddenly opened her eyes.
