When Su Tang woke up the next day, the space beside her was already empty.
Only a slight indentation in the pillow and the faint, crisp scent of Lu Xiao remained.
She sat up and touched her face. It was a little hot.
Su Tang took a deep breath and gave a somewhat helpless smile.
'A modern woman like me, getting flustered by a pure, innocent young man. How embarrassing.'
She feigned composure and shook her head, pushing aside those flirtatious thoughts.
Today was her first official day as a medical intern. She couldn't be late.
After washing up, Su Tang changed into a plaid shirt and straight-leg pants.
She deftly braided her jet-black hair into two pigtails. The person in the mirror had clear eyes, filled with a resilient, unyielding spirit.
She recalled Lu Xiao's assessment of her and smiled.
'A paper tiger? Even a paper tiger has to be able to bite!'
Breakfast was the usual congee and coarse grain steamed buns from the canteen, left on the table.
