Before leaving work in the evening, Han Xi called Lu Jinghan to tell him not to pick her up, as she was going to dine with colleagues.
In a private room of a certain club, everyone sat around the dining table chatting enthusiastically. They occasionally toasted Song Yan, expressing admiration for his experience and medical skills, and mentioned they had read many of his reports in the news.
Song Yan chatted happily with everyone, and now and then he served Han Xi, who was sitting beside him, with a natural demeanor that seemed like he was taking care of a family member.
When the meal was almost over, Song Yan went to the restroom. Upon leaving, instead of returning directly to the room, he stood in the corridor smoking a cigarette.
He leaned over to tap the ash into the ashtray, and when he lifted his head, his eyes suddenly turned gloomy, creating a discordant feeling with his otherwise gentle demeanor.
