Shi Nian's first thought was; it couldn't be Xu Binchen right? It hasn't even been five minutes yet, how can he be so fast?
Then she thought that the footsteps didn't match. Xu Binchen's footsteps were swift, distinctive and heavy. He had long legs and he walked fast too. Sometimes Shi Nian had to pull on his shirt for him to slow down.
But this one…it was airy, light and almost silent.
If she didn't strain her ears, maybe she couldn't have heard it too.
Her heart jolted and she didn't know why, but goosebumps rose along her arms. The person had been standing on her door for a while. Shi Nian could see that person's shadow formed beneath the slight gap of the door.
Who was it?
Nurse Zhang? No, it wasn't Nurse Zhang's shift today.
Doctor Chun? It couldn't be. Doctor Chun always returned home when his shift ended.
So, who could it be?
