Zhou Shuning went to the hospital to get his sprained ankle checked out.
When he opened the consultation room door, he discovered that the doctor was none other than the little brat who used to follow him around.
The good news: They knew each other.
The bad news: He had serious doubts about the doctor's medical skills.
Could he still make a run for it?

Gu Xiazhi was seeing patients today. While looking at a patient's chart, he stared at the name and pondered. It was far too familiar, a name he could never forget.
The consultation room door opened, and Gu Xiazhi abruptly looked up. What he had been thinking about became reality.
"Brother Zhou?"
"Huh? Woof, woof, woof?"
When Gu Xiazhi called his name, Zhou Shuning instinctively blurted out the joke they used to share.
Gu Xiazhi responded with a bark: "Woof, woof, woof!"
Another patient had just opened the door: ? Did they have to bark a few times before the doctor would see them, too?

The awkwardness in the consultation room lingered until a week later. For days, Zhou Shuning had tossed and turned, wondering whether Gu Xiazhi would go crazy and show up at his door.
Just after eleven that night, someone knocked on his front door.
Zhou Shuning: It's over. He's come to find me!
When the door opened, a familiar face appeared.
Zhou Shuning: "What do you want at this hour?"
The other man shoved the bag in his hands into Zhou Shuning's arms. Inside was some massage oil for sprains and bruises.
Zhou Shuning: …
Gu Xiazhi said expressionlessly, "My mom heard about it from your aunt, so she told me to bring you the oil."
In an unnoticed corner, Gu Xiazhi's hand trembled behind his back. He was thrilled to see the person from all those years ago again.

That night, the air was thick with tenderness. The puppy was gentle, considerate, mature, and composed, nothing like the childish boy he had been back then.
"Brother Zhou, are you satisfied with my handiwork?"
As a pair of hands massaged Zhou Shuning's ankle, the crafty puppy spoke in a suggestive tone.
"It's not bad."
A forbidden desire that had been sealed away for years stirred once more, its heartbeat burning hot: a cycle that began with the words "Brother" spoken over and over that year.
