Just one word made Su Ye heave a deep sigh of relief.
It seems it wasn't avoidance; she simply hadn't checked her phone.
"I've been too busy lately, Jiang Yi..."
Shen Qifeng paused, then said, "Not just her, there are other patients, several of them aren't doing well, I've been living at the hospital, with very little time to rest, and I really haven't had time to look at my phone."
"...You've worked hard," Su Ye said.
Shen Qifeng painted his situation so bleakly, she didn't really have much to say.
"Not at all."
Shen Qifeng looked at her, smiled, "Seeing you, I don't feel tired at all."
He peeled a tea egg and placed it on the dish in front of Su Ye, urging her to eat it quickly.
Having taken a tissue, he elegantly wiped his fingertips clean, then took out his phone: "You sent me a messa..."
His finger tapped the screen, and Su Ye's message popped up right away.
A crisp sentence "Let's talk again" was enough for Shen Qifeng to understand what Su Ye wanted to talk about.
