In the morning, Lin Nanfeng, who had been on duty at the hospital all night, looked a little tired. He stood up and walked to the window, stretching his limbs and shoulders. The sun outside the window was warm and bright. There were already patients in hospital gowns walking downstairs by the flower bed. At the hospital gate in the distance, the flow of people was increasing.
Lin Nanfeng yawned silently. Life was peaceful and it was time for him to go home and have a good sleep.
Suddenly, the office door opened, and Professor Chen hurried in with a briefcase. He took out some documents and changed his coat, as if he had something urgent to do.
Lin Nanfeng couldn't help but step forward to help Professor Chen lift up one of his sleeves and asked, "Professor Chen, why are you here so early? The doctors and nurses on duty haven't left work yet."
Generally speaking, experienced professors like Professor Chen do not need to work night shifts like them. When it is their shift, they just need to come to the hospital on time.
Professor Chen straightened his collar, threw a stack of pictures he had just taken out of his briefcase to Lin Nanfeng, and said, "I've got a task for you."
Lin Nanfeng frowned slightly. He thought something unexpected had happened, so he asked nervously, "What mission?"
Professor Chen pointed to the stack of pictures and said, "Do you see the girl in the picture?"
Lin Nanfeng flipped through a few daily photos in his hand, nodded, and said, "Yes, I saw it. Where is her X-ray? Where is the routine test report? Which ward number is it?"
Professor Chen quickly waved his hand and explained, "This is the dean's daughter. She just came back from studying abroad and is coming to our hospital for an internship!"
Professor Chen continued, "The dean originally asked me to help take care of his daughter, but I had something urgent to do. You young people have a lot of topics to talk about, which is much more interesting than an old antique like me."
Lin Nanfeng was relieved when he heard that it was not an emergency. Although it was okay to pick someone up at the airport, he was extremely tired and didn't want to go even if the dean's mother wanted to come.
As he was talking, Professor Chen had already walked to the door. He turned around and added, "The girl who insisted on riding a big horse last time is in the hospital again. I don't know what the situation is this time. I'm anxious to go over and take a look. I'll leave this matter to you."
After saying that, Professor Chen walked out without looking back, and Lin Nanfeng had no choice but to accept his fate.
He looked at the time, then at the photo in his hand, and finally picked up the car keys on the table and walked out helplessly.
At the airport luggage carousel, a stylishly dressed girl with short hair stood impatiently in the crowd waiting for her luggage. Her black sunglasses covered most of her face. The middle-aged women in the tour group beside her were chattering and taking photos. She pushed the luggage cart to the side and hid. She raised her hand to look at her exquisite watch and tapped the handle of the cart impatiently.
Lin Nanfeng was holding a conspicuous sign in the crowd, with the three characters "Su Linglong" written on it in a perfunctory manner, standing out among the crowd waiting to be picked up at the airport. Lin Nanfeng had obvious dark circles under his eyes, and his face was full of impatience. He put one hand in his pocket and held a sign with the other hand, staring at the international flight arrival exit boredly.
However, at this moment, in front of the luggage carousel, when she was almost pushed onto the conveyor belt by the burning passion of the aunt tour group, Su Linglong finally waited for her luggage. She happily squeezed past the aunts in front of her, apologized, and happily took back her own suitcases.
The aunt would scold from time to time: "You are such a little girl!"
Su Linglong had no time to think about anything else, and hurriedly pushed the cart towards the exit. A man with a short haircut and a gold chain caught up with her, his slightly protruding belly trembling slightly as he jogged. The man with the gold chain tried hard to keep up with Su Linglong, walking side by side with her, and asked in a flattering and dialectal voice, "Sister, did you just come back from the United States?"
Su Linglong took off her sunglasses and looked him up and down, but didn't recognize him.
Seeing that the beauty ignored him, the gold chain brother continued to strike up a conversation: "I'm on the same flight as you. We were sitting next to each other just now, across the aisle. We're very close!"
Su Linglong still didn't reply, but just gave a fake smile as a politeness.
She knew someone was coming to pick her up today, so she quickened her pace and pushed the cart out in a hurry. The gold chain brother persevered and always followed the steps of the beauty in front of him.
"Sister, add me on WeChat. Meeting is fate. I'll treat you to dinner at a five-star hotel someday."
Su Linglong frowned, but still forced a standard smile and declined: "Sorry, I don't use WeChat very often."
Brother Jinlian slapped his thigh and smiled, with a look of satisfaction on his face. He said, "No need for WeChat! No need for WeChat! Let's talk about Qiuqiu! Do you have Qiuqiu's number?"
Su Linglong was already impatient, but she still maintained her composure. She grinned, forced a smile, and replied, "I don't go online very often. Sorry, I have something to do and I'll leave first."
After saying this, Su Linglong prepared to leave quickly, but she didn't expect that Brother Gold Chain was still not giving up and was determined not to give up until he got her contact information.
"There are not many traditional beauties like you nowadays. I like girls like you who don't use the Internet. There are all kinds of bad people on the Internet. It's better not to use the Internet! Such a wife is reliable and obedient. Come on, give me your phone number, we can send text messages!"
Su Linglong couldn't even laugh this time. She was so scared that she quickly pushed the cart and ran away. Unexpectedly, the other party stepped heavily on the wheel of her luggage cart with one foot and held the handle of her cart tightly with the other hand.
"Sister, you are so unreasonable! What's wrong with giving me the contact information?"
Su Linglong: "Let go, I'll call security if you do this!"
"Hey, no, I'm not a bad person. I just want a contact number, what's wrong with that? A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman!"
Su Linglong looked around, hoping someone could help her. Suddenly, a slender arm stretched out, separating Brother Gold Chain from Su Linglong. Brother Gold Chain was forced to let go and retreat.
Lin Nanfeng stared at the big brother with the gold chain. Su Linglong was also very smart. She knew that the person coming was to help her. What's more, this tall man looked very elegant and handsome, so he was definitely not a bad person.
Su Linglong hugged Lin Nanfeng's outstretched arm and said, "My boyfriend is here to pick me up."
Lin Nanfeng looked at the hand that was suddenly around his arm and frowned.
Brother Gold Chain looked the two of them around. Although he coveted this beauty very much, he couldn't take her by force. Since she had a boyfriend, he had nothing to say. He could only touch his nose and withdraw awkwardly.
After Brother Gold Chain walked away, Su Linglong let go of Lin Nanfeng's arm and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for your help."
Lin Nanfeng: "It's okay, it's just a piece of cake."
Just as Su Linglong was about to turn around and leave, Lin Nanfeng suddenly stopped her and asked, "Excuse me, did you just get off an international flight?"
Su Linglong nodded, and Lin Nanfeng asked, "Has the flight from the United States arrived at nine this morning?"
Su Linglong took off her sunglasses and nodded solemnly, "Here we are. I came back on that flight."
Lin Nanfeng silently unfolded and raised the sign in his hand, pointed at the three words "Su Linglong" on it and asked: "Are you...?"
Su Linglong was also a little surprised and nodded: "I am...you are?"
Lin Nanfeng briefly introduced himself, and then took the initiative to help Su Linglong push the car, and the two walked towards the parking lot together. Su Linglong looked at the back of Lin Nanfeng pushing her luggage, and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that this internship trip back to China would be very interesting.
Bai Yueguang was patiently waiting for Gu Yao, who had a procrastination problem, to finish her get out of class downstairs at the School of Economics. A little wild cat downstairs ran past her with its butt sticking out and meowing. Her eyes lit up, and she remembered that she had talked about cat sterilization in class today. The excessive reproduction of stray cats and the spread of diseases between cats are very difficult problems, so sterilization surgery is necessary. Moreover, sterilization surgery is not a harm to cats, but a protection. On the basis of effectively controlling the rapid reproduction of cats, it also effectively avoids a series of reproductive system diseases of cats and prolongs the life of cats.
Looking at the coffee-colored spotted cat walking proudly in front of her, Bai Yueguang couldn't help but wonder, there are so many stray cats in the school, I wonder if this one has been sterilized...
Bai Yueguang's eyes were fixed on the little cat's twisting butt. She stood up quietly, rubbing her hands, thinking about which angle to start from.
The little cat seemed to sense a strange breath in the air, and it froze and stopped rubbing its fur. The little cat slowly turned its head, and suddenly its eyes went dark and it fell into a soft embrace.
Bai Yueguang smiled obscenely. Fortunately, it was a male cat, otherwise female cats would not be able to tell from their appearance whether he had undergone sterilization surgery.
The little cat struggled with all its might. A man can be killed but not humiliated. Cats also have dignity. Being held in the arms of a human of the opposite sex, who obviously has bad intentions, and who also wants to turn its body over with its belly facing upwards, is too shameful...
Bai Yueguang straightened his face, imitated Lin Nanfeng's usual poker expression, and said coldly: "I'm a doctor, don't be afraid, be good."
Just as Bai Yueguang was "fighting" with the cat in her arms, suddenly a familiar male voice called her from behind.
"moonlight?"
Bai Yueguang looked back blankly, and the person standing behind her was Meng Xin. At this moment, she was still wondering whether the cat in her arms had undergone sterilization surgery. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Bai Yueguang dropped the cat, and the kitten got a chance to escape, and immediately disappeared into the flower bed next to it. Bai Yueguang patted the cat fur on his body awkwardly, and explained with a dry laugh: "Well, I'm just checking the sterilization status of stray cats in the school."
Meng Xin was surprised: "What?"
Bai Yueguang explained helplessly: "Hey, you laymen, don't look at cats with tinted glasses. Sterilization surgery is a beneficial medical protection method."
Meng Xin was speechless. He was not surprised at all. Looking at Bai Yueguang's current state, she seemed to be the same carefree girl as before. It seemed that the incident between him and Liu Ying had not affected her at all. Realizing that his pursuit during this period of time did not give him the slightest status in Bai Yueguang's heart, Meng Xin felt a little bitter. But no matter what, he had to do what he promised.
Meng Xin looked at Bai Yueguang solemnly and said, "Yueguang, I have something to tell you."
Bai Yueguang suddenly shouted his name exaggeratedly: "Meng Xin!"
Meng Xin was frightened by the sudden voice, and asked weakly with a trembling voice: "What's wrong..."
Bai Yueguang poked his bandaged forearm with her finger and asked, "Why is your arm broken?"
Meng Xin was full of black lines on his face: "It's just a small bruise, no fracture..."
Bai Yueguang: "How about I help you take a look? We just talked about pet sterilization today."
Meng Xin's eyes widened, and Bai Yueguang quickly explained: "No, no, don't misunderstand me. The sterilization class is taught in the practical classroom. What I meant is that I just came back from the practical classroom, and I have a few bottles of disinfectant in my bag. I can help you treat the wound."
Meng Xin quickly declined Bai Yueguang's kindness: "No, the minor injury from a few days ago has already healed. I came here today because I have something to tell you."
"moonlight!"
Just when Meng Xin was about to speak again, Gu Yao walked towards him quickly in high heels at the entrance of the teaching building not far away, looking straight at Meng Xin with eyes that were so cold that they seemed to be able to shoot out ice, as if he was a patient with the plague.
Meng Xin didn't want to cause a verbal dispute, so he quickly grabbed Bai Yueguang's shoulders and said quickly, "Yueguang, I want to apologize to you. I was wrong in some things before. If you have any problems in the future, just speak up."
After saying that, Meng Xin let go of Bai Yueguang and left in a hurry, leaving Bai Yueguang standing there in a daze, confused.
When Gu Yao ran up, she only saw Meng Xin's fleeing back.
Gu Yao pointed her chin disdainfully in the direction where Meng Xin fled and asked, "What did he say to you?"
Bai Yueguang shook her head: "I don't know, I was apologized for no reason."
Gu Yao: "Oh, Master Meng actually knows how to apologize."
Bai Yueguang: "Maybe he was moved by me."
Gu Yao rolled her eyes: "What do you have that can move him? Is it your touching IQ or your worldview full of pink bubbles?"
Bai Yueguang: "I just gave him some common knowledge about pet sterilization. Maybe he was dazzled by the powerful light of the angel in white on me."
Gu Yao was speechless and walked away, complaining as she walked: "If you can smell the disinfectant in the hospital for more than two hours, I will believe that you are an angel in white."
Bai Yueguang hurriedly trotted to catch up: "Veterinarians are also doctors! There is no division of labor in medicine!"
Bai Yueguang got home earlier than usual because she had borrowed Gu Yao's car today. As soon as she reached the door of her house, she noticed something unusual. First, the door was wide open. Usually at this time, Bai's mother would be busy cooking in the kitchen, and she would keep complaining about Bai Zhenhua, but today it was strangely quiet.
Bai Yueguang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be a burglary ? She remembered the scene in the movie "Léon: The Professional" where Matilda came home to find her family brutally murdered...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tighten the strap of her backpack and walked slowly, getting closer and closer to her home.
The atmosphere was stagnant, and the sound of a child crying seemed to be heard in the air. Bai Yueguang took out the disinfectant from her bag, holding a bottle in one hand, with the spirit of blowing up a bunker. She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and rushed in screaming.
Bai Yueguang didn't see clearly what was in the house, but she felt a figure sitting on the sofa in the living room. Without saying a word, she poured two bottles of disinfectant over.
Bai Song screamed and jumped up from the sofa. The collar of his shirt was neatly attached to his neck, and the hem was tucked into his school uniform pants without leaving any space. After being splashed with two bottles of disinfectant, the neat shirt became messy, and the hem of his shirt also came out halfway from his pants.
Bai Yueguang was relieved when he saw that the other person was his own brother. Bai Yueguang relaxed and looked at Bai Song from head to toe with a smile. Although he looked disheveled, he still looked like an unruly punk.
The street rock kid on Bai Yue's optical TV greeted him in a way that he did, punched him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "You finally have a new look that suits you."
Bai Song's eyebrows were almost twisted into knots, and he glared at Bai Yueguang. When a joke is not responded to, all jokes become extremely awkward. Bai Yueguang gradually put away his smile and said, "I was just joking, you don't have to be so angry, why didn't you even close the door at home today, I thought there was a burglary."
Speaking of burglary, Bai Yueguang just remembered that they had been making a fuss for a long time and didn't seem to see their parents come out. Bai Yueguang asked: "By the way, aren't my parents home?"
Bai Song's eyes were already filled with tears. He choked up and handed the half-wet note on his hand to Bai Yueguang. Bai Yueguang was frightened by Bai Song's reaction. She didn't dare to joke anymore and read the contents of the note carefully.
"Your father is in critical condition... He was taken away by the 120 ambulance from the City First Hospital. You should take care of yourselves for dinner first."
The key parts of the note were wetted by disinfectant. Why was Bai Zhenhua taken away by the 120 ambulance?
Bai Yueguang was also anxious. She asked Bai Song: "What is written in this position?"
Bai Song shook his head: "It's all your fault! Wouldn't it be better if you didn't wet the note?"
Bai Yueguang: "But haven't you seen it?"
Bai Song's face turned red and he stammered in anger: "I...I...I don't know that word!" Then Bai Song burst into tears and his emotions collapsed.
Bai Song opened his mouth wide and cried so hard that his saliva and tears mixed together.
“Wow… Although I know… wuwuwu, I know that the fate of an artist is always full of setbacks… wuwuwu… But I didn’t expect this day to come so soon. I can’t adapt to the life in a single-parent family yet… wuwuwu… an orphan and a widow… wuwuwu…”
Bai Song raised his red face and asked Bai Yueguang with a sob: "Is life always so hard?"
Bai Yueguang was already in a state of confusion, and Bai Song's crying made her even more flustered. All the diseases beginning with the word "acute" flooded into her mind, and Bai Zhenhua's voice and smile flashed through her mind frame by frame.
The hospital, the place that they avoided as much as possible, how could she bear to let her father lie in that cold place! No, she must take Bai Song to see her father for the last time!
Bai Yueguang grabbed the backpack and pulled Bai Song straight out of the house.
It was dinner time when the brother and sister arrived at the hospital. After asking the front desk, they ran straight to the ward. They ran breathlessly in the hospital corridor, knocking over the nurse who was delivering medicine and squeezing the wheelchair patients. Several patients with crutches dropped their crutches and jumped to avoid them, leaning against the wall.
Arriving at the designated ward, Bai Yueguang pushed open the door. It was a two-person room. An uncle sitting on the inner bed had just accepted an apple handed to him by his wife. He was a little startled when he saw two people coming in.
Bai Yueguang and Bai Song ran to another empty bedside to look at the information card, on which were written the three words "Bai Zhenhua" in black and white. Bai Yueguang reached out and touched the messy bed. The rough cotton and linen white sheets were not warm at all. Her eyes turned red and she was instantly panicked.
Bai Song turned around and asked the uncle who was leisurely eating an apple on the bed next to him: "Uncle, where is my dad in this bed?"
When the uncle in the next bed heard the child calling dad, he was sure of the person's identity, so he said with confidence: "Old Bai is your father! He just passed away!"
Bai Yueguang suddenly turned her head, her features twisted in great sorrow: "Gone? You said... my dad is gone?"
The uncle in the next bed nodded blankly: "Yes, your mother was here just now..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Song also hugged Bai Yueguang and burst into tears. The brother and sister sat on the bed and wiped their tears.
"What are you doing?"
A familiar voice sounded, Bai Yueguang and Bai Song looked up at the same time, Bai's mother was standing at the door of the ward. Bai's mother walked in, followed by Bai Zhenhua who was walking slowly.
Bai Song opened his mouth wide and murmured, "It's not the seventh day yet..."
Bai's mother slapped Bai Song on the back of his head and scolded, "You damn child, what unlucky words are you saying!"
Bai Yueguang was very brave. He ran straight to Bai Zhenhua and pinched his arm hard, causing Bai Zhenhua to grimace in pain.
Bai Zhenhua covered his arm and cursed: "Did you two take the wrong medicine today?"
Bai Yueguang and Bai Song looked at each other for three seconds, then suddenly smiled broadly and rushed over to hug Bai Zhenhua.
Bai Song cried softly, "Dad, we were so scared. I thought I had lost you forever."
Bai Yueguang looked up and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you that requires you to stay in the hospital?"
Bai's mother continued as she tidied up the messy bed: "Your father just has common acute appendicitis. It can be cured by removing it. It's a minor operation. Didn't I leave a note for you?"
Bai Yueguang lowered his head and said, "The note was wet, and the words were blurred. Only Bai Song saw the entire note, and he didn't recognize the words."
Bai's mother shook her head and sighed, and helped Bai Zhenhua lie on the bed, complaining, "Your father is such a squeamish kid. The doctor said he should come to the hospital for surgery tomorrow, but he's so scared that he has to find that celebrity doctor who often appears on TV health programs. Not only is it expensive, but it's also hard to get an appointment! After he moves in tonight, he can't have surgery until the day after tomorrow. Plus, he'll have to stay in the hospital for a week to rest and recover, so he'll have to stay here for nearly half a month."
Bai Zhenhua lay on the bed, curled up in the quilt, his whole body stiff, his limbs motionless, he seemed very nervous. Bai Yueguang felt the same way, after all, the fear of hospitals was inherited from her father.
The uncle next door suddenly said, "You are such a lucky family, with a son and a daughter. But you really scared me when you started crying just now."
Bai Yueguang suddenly thought of something, and she said with a complaining tone: "Uncle, it was you who just scared us by saying that Dad was gone."
The uncle was confused, scratching the back of his head and said, "Your father is gone. He just took your mother out for dinner."
Bai Yueguang was speechless and could only blame himself for taking things for granted. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Today was truly the day with the most ups and downs in the past twenty years.
That night, Bai's mother wanted to take Bai Yueguang and Bai Song home to sleep, but Bai Zhenhua started to get restless. He had a stomachache, wanted to drink water, and his back started to itch. Bai's mother sighed. After half a lifetime, she still didn't know him? He must not dare to stay in the hospital alone. He usually had to bring someone to accompany him when he came to the hospital during the day. The father and daughter were exactly the same in this regard. Bai's mother had no choice but to send Bai Yueguang and Bai Song out to take a bus home, and she stayed to accompany him.
As soon as Bai's mother left with the two children, Bai Zhenhua's discomfort immediately disappeared. He stretched calmly, picked up the apple on the bedside and ate it in big mouthfuls. The uncle who was watching TV in the same room with him was puzzled and asked, "Old Bai, you just have appendicitis, why do you have to stay with me at night?"
Bai Zhenhua looked quite helpless, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Ah, who said it wasn't true? She was worried about letting her go, and she insisted on staying to take care of me! Alas, what can I do? There's nothing I can do. I can't drive her away!"
After saying that, Bai Zhenhua bit off half of the apple in one bite.
The uncle next door smiled and said, "You are so lucky. Look at my wife. She leaves at a certain time and doesn't even come in the evening."
Bai Zhenhua smiled and waved his hands: "What kind of blessing is this? It's so annoying."
At this time, Bai's mother suddenly opened the door and came in, scaring Bai Zhenhua so much that he choked on an apple. She had just sent the two children away and saw this scene when she returned to the ward. Bai's mother hurried over to help Bai Zhenhua pat his back and said, "I'm not a monster. Seeing you so scared, I'm afraid you have done something wrong."
Bai Zhenhua said stubbornly: "When did I say I was scared? It was you who suddenly came in and disturbed me!"
Bai's mother stopped what she was doing and deliberately frightened him, "Oh, in that case, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go home and spend time with my two children."
Bai Zhenhua's face was tense, his lips were tightly pursed, and he said nothing. He quietly pulled Bai's mother's handbag over and sat on it, resisting silently...
Early the next morning, Bai Yueguang took Lin Nanfeng's car to the hospital. As soon as they arrived at the door of the ward, they heard noisy sounds inside.
The two walked in, and saw Bai Zhenhua and his mother arguing with a young nurse. All three of them were blushing. Bai Yueguang stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Bai's mother: "The celebrity doctor your father had an appointment with suddenly fell ill. I'm afraid we have to change doctors."
Bai Zhenhua: "I don't trust other doctors to remove the appendix. That doctor often appears on health programs, so he must be reliable!"
Bai Yueguang advised: "But even if you appear on a health program, it doesn't mean that I can help you remove your appendix..."
Bai Zhenhua rolled his eyes and said, "Then let you try the surgery! I'll just find a doctor to cut you open!"
Bai Yueguang felt so frightened that she quickly covered her ears with her hands. She didn't want to hear such a bloody thing.
Lin Nanfeng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up and asked the nurse, "Which doctor did they make an appointment with before?"
When the young nurse saw Lin Nanfeng, she recognized him as the intern Dr. Lin. She immediately came over as if she had found a big tree to lean on and said, "That's Dr. Qin, who is always sent out by our hospital to give lectures."
Lin Nanfeng understood and asked again: "What happened to him?"
The nurse said to Lin Nanfeng, "It's said that there's something wrong with his stomach. Doctor Qin is a very busy man, like a celebrity, he goes on TV shows and gives speeches everywhere. His stomach wasn't in good condition to begin with, and now he's probably suffering from overwork."
Lin Nanfeng nodded. Seeing that Dr. Lin was acquainted with this family, the nurse did not stay any longer and immediately left.
Lin Nanfeng picked up the several pages of medical checklists on the bedside table and took a look at them, his face as calm as ever. Bai Zhenhua was so nervous that he didn't dare to speak, fearing that Lin Nanfeng would suddenly say something "ferocious" after reading his medical checklist.
Lin Nanfeng put down the list and said, "Uncle Bai, let me help you contact other doctors for your surgery."
Bai Zhenhua's face turned pale, and the blood on his lips faded. He asked in a hollow voice, "What...what happened?"
Lin Nanfeng: "Doctor Qin can't perform surgery anymore, and he has been giving several lectures recently. I'm afraid he is tired and not fit to work anymore."
Bai Zhenhua was a little skeptical and asked, "Who should we replace him with?"
Lin Nanfeng: "Appendectomy is just a minor operation. Don't worry, Uncle Bai. Any doctor in the hospital can do it. Doctor Zou, who has a lot of experience, is a good one."
Bai Zhenhua's stubborn temper came up, and he said nervously, "That won't work. I don't want Yueguang and Xiaosong to be alone for the rest of their lives. If the child's mother remarries, the stepfather will definitely hate them. They are so naughty and cause trouble everywhere."
The faces of the people in the ward were as black as coal. What kind of brain circuit could make them come up with such ideas?
Bai's mother couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly in an unquestionable tone: "Nanfeng, aren't you also a doctor ? Since your uncle Bai is so troublesome, why don't you just do the surgery? Anyway, it's your training."
Bai Zhenhua sat aside with his face flushed. Bai's mother patted Bai Zhenhua's belly and said generously: "Don't worry, you can cut your uncle's belly like a steak."
Bai Zhenhua was so scared that his face turned pale. He glared at Bai's mother. Although he knew that as an intern, Lin Nanfeng might not really perform surgery on him, the thought of him having to step into the operating room and pass the knife to observe and learn was a bit unbearable.
"Let's just ask Doctor Zou, that's it! It's settled!" Bai Zhenhua talked to himself and agreed with Lin Nanfeng's suggestion.
The bed dispute that had lasted the whole morning finally subsided. Bai's mother smiled as she escorted Lin Nanfeng out of the ward, and pushed Bai Yueguang to take Lin Nanfeng back to the office. Bai Zhenhua pouted and lay back on the bed in anger, and Bai Yueguang's hope of squeezing her father aside to get some sleep on the bed was shattered.
She yawned and was very unhappy. She muttered, "Does Lin Nanfeng still need my protection to get back to the office? Human traffickers only steal children. Can you imagine which thief would steal a 1.8-meter-tall guy and run around the streets?"
Bai's mother glared at her and said, "You kid, your father is in the hospital thanks to Nanfeng's help, what's wrong with you seeing him off?"
Bai Yueguang had no choice but to escort Lin Nanfeng to the office.
On the way, Bai Yueguang had a dark face and was very unhappy. She questioned: "You don't even know how to be polite. Look at the look in my mother's eyes. She wants to throw us all out in exchange for you."
Lin Nanfeng put one hand in his pocket and said coldly, "Aunt is smart. She takes the essence and discards the dross."
Bai Yueguang couldn't figure it out: "What do you mean?"
Lin Nanfeng smiled and said, "Nothing. Praising you is the inevitable process of progress."
Bai Yueguang really didn't understand, so she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I guess I was confused by the smell of disinfectant."
To go to Lin Nanfeng's office, they had to go upstairs. When they were waiting for the elevator, several nurses pushed a pregnant woman lying on the bed and blocked the elevator entrance. They had no choice but to wait silently behind them. The group entered the elevator. In the quiet elevator car, Bai Yueguang and Lin Nanfeng consciously shrank to the corner and stood well, trying not to hinder the actions of the pregnant woman and the nurses. The pregnant woman on the bed began to have labor pains, and several nurses comforted her softly. Bai Yueguang's scalp numbed when she heard the pregnant woman's painful cries. She couldn't bear to see others in pain, so she couldn't help but turn her head in the direction of Lin Nanfeng.
Suddenly, Bai Yueguang felt her wrist tightened and a pain came over her. She looked down and found that the pregnant woman had grabbed her wrist hanging by the bed in a panic. The pregnant woman's hand was very strong, and soon Bai Yueguang's wrist turned red. Bai Yueguang couldn't help but scream. The pregnant woman's painful cries became louder and louder at this moment, as if she was suffering from something extremely painful. Bai Yueguang was also very scared, and she dived into Lin Nanfeng's chest beside her like a quail.
The nurses stepped forward and offered their hands to the pregnant woman to hold tightly, trying to save Bai Yueguang's wrist. The pregnant woman seemed to realize that she had grabbed a stranger, so she quickly let go. Bai Yueguang was still in shock, listening to the wailing that was getting more miserable than the last. She just hoped that the elevator would arrive soon. The hospital was really like hell.
A young nurse beside him seemed to recognize Lin Nanfeng, and she took the initiative to greet him: "Doctor Lin, is your shift today?"
Lin Nanfeng nodded, looked at her and said, "You were transferred to the obstetrics and gynecology department?"
The young nurse nodded. She glanced at Bai Yueguang who was still curled up in front of Lin Nanfeng's chest and dared not look up. She smiled and joked, "Doctor Lin's girlfriend? What a lovely personality. It doesn't matter. We girls all have to go through this."
The light-hearted tone that was originally intended to ease the atmosphere turned into "bad news" in Bai Yueguang's ears. She didn't care about anything else. She only realized that all girls could not escape this nightmarish pain.
Sure enough, Lin Nanfeng felt the person on his chest suddenly stiffen, and then a chill came over him. Lin Nanfeng gently patted Bai Yueguang's head on his chest, and the soft hair slipped through his fingers. Lin Nanfeng's heart softened. He spoke in a rare way, as if to coax her: "If you marry a doctor, you won't feel any pain."
Suddenly, the elevator door opened with a "ding" sound. The young nurse smiled and nodded goodbye, then followed the others and quickly pushed the pregnant woman out of the elevator.
Bai Yueguang seemed to have heard nothing. She kept curling up on Lin Nanfeng's chest and shivering. Bai Yueguang remained motionless until the elevator door closed again and opened again after reaching the floor where Lin Nanfeng's office was located. Lin Nanfeng pushed Bai Yueguang away, and Bai Yueguang woke up from a dream with a pale face, as if she had walked through the gates of hell.
"Are we there? We're safe, safe..."
Bai Yueguang muttered to herself as she followed Lin Nanfeng out of the elevator door. Lin Nanfeng walked in front, and Bai Yueguang followed closely behind in shock.
When they arrived at the office door, they found a group of people gathered at the door for some reason. Lin Nanfeng stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all here?"
Chen Shan, who was also an intern, standing at the door of the intern's office said happily, "Nanfeng, you came at the right time. There's a new intern today! She's beautiful and has a great background."
Lin Nanfeng: "Who is worthy of so many people coming to watch? Someone important?"
Just as Chen Shan was about to speak, a clear female voice suddenly rang out: "Lin Nanfeng."
The crowd gathered at the door made way for a passage, and Lin Nanfeng walked in. He found that there was quite a big scene inside, with several directors and professors standing there. The person surrounded by everyone was none other than Su Linglong, whom he had met at the airport.
Su Linglong stood gracefully beside his desk with a generous and appropriate smile.
"Hello, Lin Nanfeng, my name is Su Linglong. I'm a new intern and I'll be sitting next to you. I'm grateful for your guidance." Su Linglong extended her right hand in a friendly manner.
Lin Nanfeng also extended his hand and shook it back before letting go. The onlookers were talking about how the new director's daughter looked quite arrogant and had been indifferent since she came. Why did she only smile at Dr. Lin? Dr. Lin was handsome and Miss Su was beautiful and intelligent. It seemed that the two of them were quite a good match.
The director kept winking at Lin Nanfeng, signaling him to entertain Su Linglong more warmly, but Lin Nanfeng remained indifferent and remained aloof with one hand in his pocket.
Suddenly, an urgent and loud voice outside the office came through the crowd: "Nanfeng! I can't get in!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw a petite figure jumping up and down at the outermost edge, holding up a cell phone and shouting, "I'll take you here. My mom just sent me a message, asking you to come to my house for dinner tonight. She's going to make braised pig's trotters! I'm leaving now!"
There was a sound of footsteps jumping away.
Although the onlookers didn't know who Bai Yueguang was, this girl's few words shattered Dr. Lin's aloof image, and they couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Lin Nanfeng was embarrassed, the director was confused, and Su Linglong frowned. She didn't know what the relationship between Lin Nanfeng and that girl was.
Lin Nanfeng took the initiative to speak: "Please sit down. When Professor Chen comes, he will tell you other things."
Su Linglong raised her eyebrows. Was this considered speaking on her own initiative? She shrugged and sat down at her seat. The director saw that there was nothing else to do, so he gave a few instructions and left, and before leaving he also drove away the crowd that was watching.
