She had a walkie-talkie in her hand and he could hear several other people’s voices on the other end .
“Rooftop, clear . ” That was Chi Yuanfeng .
“Garden, clear . ” That was Sheng Yize .
“Parking lot, clear,” yelled An Xiaxia . “Momo, hurry up! The guards are changing shifts in a moment!”
“Living quarters, clear . ” Fang Shanshan said teasingly, “Hey, have you seen your Cutie He yet?”
Su Xiaomo said cheerfully, “Teehee… I have . ”
She was over the moon .
Tapping on the window, she said, “Cutie He, open up!”
He Jiayu was very persistent . “No, I won’t! You should leave now! I can get you infected!”
Su Xiaomo pursed her lips, looking disappointed .
That softened He Jiayu up . He almost opened the window there and then to pull her into his arms .
However, he stopped himself after only moving a little closer to the window .
“I’m fine, really . Momo, go home . ” The smile He Jiayu gave her was like a spring breeze . Su Xiaomo rubbed her eyes and yelled, “Liar! You’re thin and ugly now!”
He Jiayu smiled mildly . “So, do you detest me now?”
“Yes! I do! Very much! Have you even seen yourself in a mirror? You’re haggard and stubbly! Cuddlie would be scared to tears if she saw you like this!” Su Xiaomo bellowed with tears rolling down her cheeks .
The howling wind was freezing cold outside . Tiny ice crystals fell on her face, melting instantly .
Su Xiaomo looked up at the sky in a daze . “It’s snowing . ”
“Yes, the first snow of this year . ” It was beautiful, but it was nothing compared with her .
Su Xiaomo pounded on the glass with her fist . “Hey, you! Be safe and take good care of yourself! You don’t have to save everyone! Come back to me alive — that’s all I care about!”
It sounded selfish, but that was how real she was .
“Alright . ” He Jiayu nodded .
Su Xiaomo wiped her tears, which made He Jiayu’s stomach lurch .
“Do you know why I’m here?”
“Yes . ” He did .
“Liar . How can you know?” Su Xiaomo made a face at him . “I’m a fairy and I’m going back to visit the heavenly court . The hospital just happened to be on my way . ”

He Jiayu smiled with her, but there was a bitter taste in his mouth .
She was afraid… that if she didn’t come now, she might not see him again . Wasn’t that it?
“I don’t think any less of you, actually . I’m proud of you… You’re a great doctor and you’ve saved so many people . He Jiayu, please keep yourself alive while you save others this time!” Su Xiaomo put away her teasing face and turned serious .
He Jiayu managed to squeeze out a smile . “I promise . ”
Chi Yuanfeng’s anxious voice came from the walkie-talkie at that moment . “Momo! Go back up! A patrol guard has spotted you!”
Su Xiaomo switched off the walkie-talkie and acted like a kid asking for candy .
“Gimme a kiss!”
He Jiayu was surprised . He then saw Su Xiaomo press her lips to the window glass and blink at him .
He could see his reflection in her black pupils .
His image filled her eyes .
He Jiayu hurried to the window and met Su Xiaomo’s lips .
Separated by the glass and in the first snow of the year, that was the closest and most distant kiss they ever had .
They had no idea if it was going to be their last kiss .
The cable pulled Su Xiaomo back up . She climbed onto the rooftop, got into Sheng Yize’s private helicopter, and promptly left the hospital .
She still remembered He Jiayu from just then — he was always smiling, but he cried today .
He said, “Thank you . I love you . ”
