As the lunch break was about to end and Gu Ran's condition had improved since the morning, Zhuang Jing and the others left.
In the ward, Gu Ran was alone.
He found his smartphone—despite being ill, he'd brought it instinctively. Smartphones had become modern people's secondary oxygen supply.
He opened his contacts; no missed calls and no unchecked messages.
Su Qing and Chen Ke probably got his updates from He Qingyan.
Opening his chat with Su Qing and summoning the keyboard, his fingers hovered for a moment, thinking that Su Qing must be at school working, and so he put the phone back down.
Even though they often chatted during work without hindering each other, why did he suddenly feel he'd be disturbing her by messaging while he wasn't at work?
Gu Ran picked up his phone again and opened MasterClass.
He only listened for a while before feeling nauseous, reminiscent of his first bus ride to the city for middle school. The bus seemed to him like a tumbling washing machine.
