Nothing happened that night. When Li Xiangnan woke up from bed, the clock had already pointed to 7 o'clock.

The factory hospital’s working hours start at 8 a.m., and he has an hour to take care of personal hygiene and breakfast issues.

The warm sunlight outside the window shines into the house, making the small house feel a little warmer.

Calculating the time, it was just right to get up and have breakfast, so Li Xiangnan did not lie in bed and quickly got up and put on his clothes.

First, he lit the fire of the coal stove, fanned it vigorously with a palm-leaf fan for a while, and saw sparks starting to fly up from the coal. He then put the copper kettle filled with water on it again and let it burn. He then quickly grabbed a bowl of flour from the flour bag, mixed it, and put it aside to let the dough rise.

When he came back after washing up, the water was almost boiled and the dough was almost done rising. It was more than enough for making a few pancakes or noodles.

Take the toothbrush mug, put the towel in your pocket, open the door and prepare to go out.

As soon as the door opened, two familiar figures were seen not far away.

Sun Jie, deputy chief of the security department, waved his hand from a distance and shouted, "Xiao Li, someone is looking for you. I brought them to you!"

He frowned and took a look. Lin Muyu was holding a net bag and nodded at him with a smile as beautiful as a flower. Her eyebrows were curved like crescent moons, as if she was very happy to see him.

"Doctor Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Muyu parked his bicycle, smiled, patted his cross-body bag, and said with a smile: "You forgot, I'm here to deliver a report to your factory leader!"

She was wearing a simple white shirt today, with straight trousers underneath, and round-toed leather shoes with white socks showing through her insteps. She looked indescribably graceful and elegant in these ordinary clothes.

Li Xiangnan looked at them for a moment and nodded, stepped aside, and said hello: "You're here really early! Doctor Lin, Chief Sun, please come in and sit for a while!"

"Yeah!" Lin Muyu did not look down on the house. He looked at the small house from outside and walked in.

At this time, Sun Jie came over and grabbed Li Xiangnan's arm, hooked his chin towards the room with a hint of meaning, and said enviously: "Xiao Li, you are really a talent. You just came here and you hooked up with our great doctor Lin!"

"Section Chief Sun!" Li Xiangnan was stunned for a moment, then a hint of bitterness appeared on his lips, "You are really joking, Doctor Lin and I are innocent!"

"I understand, I understand everything!" Sun Jie poked his waist, "I can't see that, it's because Doctor Lin is interested in you! Who would come to see you so early in the morning for no reason! Look in that net bag, maybe there is a gift for you! I saw it at the door just now, and it scared me. When Doctor Lin first came to our factory hospital, it caused a sensation. Everyone couldn't walk when they saw her. I didn't expect that no one could catch her eye for such a long time, but you kidnapped someone as soon as you came! Hehe!"

Hearing these words of envy and admiration, Li Xiangnan lost his temper. He handed over a cigarette and said helplessly: "You really misunderstood! Didn't you hear Doctor Lin say that he was here to deliver the report..."

"Haha!" Sun Jie stretched his head and looked inside secretly, saying with ill intention: "Why didn't she go directly to Director Liu's office, but came to you? Xiao Li, you are taking advantage of her and still acting cute, this is your fault..."

At this point, Sun Jie deliberately raised his voice, "Xiao Li, everyone else is hoping to be misunderstood as dating Dr. Lin, but you insist on explaining to me! Dr. Lin will be unhappy to hear that!"

After saying that, looking at Li Xiangnan's frustrated expression, he smiled and patted his shoulder, saying enviously, "A talented man and a beautiful woman, I think you are the only one in our entire factory who can win over Dr. Lin! Tsk tsk, your marriage has come on your first day at work, we are all so envious! Hey, you don't want such a beautiful girl, are you stupid?"

"..."

Lin Muyu stood in the house, listening to the words outside that seemed to be deliberately spoken to her, and her face suddenly turned red.

She really had no intention of dating Li Xiangnan.

But for some reason, when he heard Sun Jie, the deputy chief of the security department, say that Li Xiangnan kept explaining to him his innocent relationship, he suddenly felt a little lost and conflicted.

In a daze, the bare-walled scene in the hut caught my eye. I saw the residence that my second brother Lin Weimin had mentioned. It was cramped, simple, and dilapidated. For some reason, my heart ached.

It was only seven o'clock in the morning, but the temperature in the room had already begun to rise. The hot wind blew against her face, forcing her to hide in the shadows to feel cool.

Although the hut is not damp and cold, it is so hot in the summer. How can people survive there?

Fortunately, her father had promised her and her second brother last night that he would arrange for Li Xiangnan to have a house as soon as possible.

As he was deep in thought, the sunlight at the door was blocked and Li Xiangnan walked into the room.

"Where is Section Chief Sun?" she asked hurriedly.

"Brother Sun went on patrol! He worked the night shift last night and took over from someone else at eight o'clock. He patrolled once and went home!" Li Xiangnan went to the table to pour some water, took out the fine tea leaves from the cabinet, brewed them, and handed them to Lin Muyu, "Doctor Lin, have some tea! It's a little hot this morning!"

"It's still early. The air outside is not that hot. It's your room facing the sun that's too hot!" Lin Muyu waved his hand under his chin to fan himself.

"I only have a palm-leaf fan here, which was given to me by Uncle Qin. You can fan yourself with it first. Sorry!" Li Xiangnan handed over the fan.

"Why are you saying sorry to me? I just have an opinion that the house that Director Xing bought for you is in poor condition!" Lin Muyu's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at the furnishings in the house with reluctance.

Li Xiangnan laughed and didn't respond.

He had found a job in Yanjing, his household registration had been settled, and the factory said it was going through the procedures for housing. This small house was just a transition, and he felt that there was nothing unacceptable about the short-term hardship.

Lin Muyu, who was standing next to him, waved a palm-leaf fan, bringing a cool breeze. She said in surprise, "It's only your first day here, and you've already gotten to know the concierge, Mr. Qin, and Section Chief Sun, and you're even familiar with Officer Cui. Doctor Li, you have great communication skills!"

"That's just average!" Li Xiangnan said modestly, then looked at the net bag she put on the table and asked, "By the way, Doctor Lin, do you have anything else to do? I haven't washed up yet!"

"Last night, my brother... I happened to see someone selling toilet water when I passed by on the street, so I brought you a bottle! Yesterday, Director Cui told me that you live not far from the factory hospital. I thought that there are many forests here, and it's summer, so you will inevitably suffer physical pain, so I took the initiative to give you a bottle! Don't refuse, I'm rewarding you for saving a young man yesterday!"

Lin Muyu bit her lip to suppress her nervousness. She almost let the cat out of the bag just now and told the story of her second brother Lin Weimin.

Now that Li Xiangnan doesn’t know that she is Xiao Qiao’s third sister, this is a good opportunity to observe him and see what kind of person he is.

"Dr. Lin, thank you so much! I won't be polite then! I felt really bad last night!" Seeing her take out a bottle of floral water from her pocket, Li Xiangnan did not refuse, "Last night, Lao Qin also made me some wormwood to smoke mosquitoes, and in the middle of the night, I don't know where a few more appeared from. They really choked me!"

"Pfft!" Lin Muyu laughed, covered his mouth, and took out the lunch box from his pocket, "I bought too much breakfast this morning, and you didn't have any, so help me out! Otherwise, I have to take it back, which is troublesome!"

As she spoke, she opened two lunch boxes, and put a fried dough ring, two steamed buns, a lion head and a small portion of pickles in each box.

Did you buy too much? Did you buy too much on purpose?

Li Xiangnan was stunned, and then pointed to the dough that was fermenting on the side, "Doctor Lin, my dough is still fermenting, I will prepare it to make noodles later, you..."

"That doesn't matter. Can't you handle this little thing?" Lin Muyu covered the lunch box and glanced at his watch. "It's still early. I'll make noodles for you. Go wash up! Maybe we can eat it when we come back!"

"..." Li Xiangnan was stunned and suddenly felt that this scene was a little strange.

"Hurry up, why are you standing there in a daze? Go quickly!"

But before he could say anything, Lin Muyu pushed him out the door.
