Lai Xingchen was the closest to the center of the storm, his accompanying family member had left to take a walk downstairs as they couldn't stand it anymore.
It's not that Lai Xingchen didn't want to be far away, but he really was powerless to move!
He had just undergone surgery and couldn't move at all!
Weak, pitiful, and helpless, these traits were fully manifested.
As the person in the neighboring bed got up again, Lai Xingchen closed his eyes deeply,
"Captain Jiang, are you waiting for someone?" he asked.
Countless times throughout the afternoon, even a fool could understand.
"You ask too many questions!" he said coldly.
If this were under normal circumstances, this annoying conversation would definitely have earned someone a five-kilometer weight-bearing exercise.
After all, this was typical of a certain someone.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the nickname "Devil."
"Captain Jiang, do you know Doctor Lu?" Lai Xingchen asked in desperation.
Jiang Ye's throat suddenly felt dry, he reached to adjust his already unbuttoned collar before responding,
"Curiosity killed the cat, have you heard that saying?"
Lai Xingchen immediately shut his mouth, his hand forcefully covering it.
Indeed, the response from Captain Jiang had been very clear already.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a Little Nurse walked in:
"Lai Xingchen, time to take your temperature, you know how to do it, right?" she asked.
Cough cough, this is probably common knowledge even for a three-year-old.
"Under the armpit, I know."
It would take five minutes before the thermometer could be taken out, and just as the nurse was preparing to leave, Lai Xingchen quickly asked out loud,
"Hey, Little Nurse, um, why hasn't Doctor Lu come?"
"Doctor Lu is on leave, do you need him for something?"
"No, no, just asking casually, how long will he be on leave?"
"He'll be back the day after tomorrow."
This is terrible, I'm doomed!!!
With Doctor Lu not around, wouldn't the air conditioner next to me just keep getting colder? Content orıginally comes from novel_fіre.net
Lai Xingchen now fully understood, his own Captain Jiang and Doctor Lu...
Jiang Ye, who wasn't deaf, tightly pursed his lips upon hearing the news of the leave.
Although silent, it felt like the intense chill in the air dissipated a lot.
As the nurse left the ward, Lai Xingchen innocently blinked at Jiang Ye,
"Captain Jiang, Doctor Lu is on leave."
He sighed earnestly to himself.
The man had already settled back on the bed, his face cold, and he snorted through his nose,
"My hearing is fine!"
Okay, now it's crystal clear!
Since learning about the woman's leave, Jiang Ye left the hospital that night to return to the fire station.
The next day, he just came for the IV, leaving right after without staying a moment longer.
Until the day Doctor Lu returned from leave, early in the morning, a certain someone had already left the station.
Doctor Lu arrived early at the department and habitually checked the conditions of the patients.
The last one was Lai Xingchen.
Before entering the ward, Doctor Lu had to muster several rounds of mental preparation to push the door open.
But upon entering, he was relieved to find the person wasn't there.
"Doctor Lu, good morning!" Lai Xingchen greeted enthusiastically, which was strangely warmer than before.
"Morning, how's your wound recovering? Does it hurt?"
"Not at all, Doctor Lu, your surgery was excellent." He buttered up quickly.
Doctor Lu nevertheless lifted the blanket to personally check,
"Hmm, the wound indeed is healing well. Keep it up and take your medications on time."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll definitely follow the doctor's orders!"
Others might not follow, but it was imperative to obey Doctor Lu.
Doctor Lu didn't know Lai Xingchen's current thoughts and didn't know that someone had appeared at the door.
Doctor Lu's motion of pulling the blanket stopped abruptly, then quietly, he readjusted it.
The man had been blocking the doorway without moving, just staring straight.
When Doctor Lu approached, he suddenly spoke,
"I'm busy, please make way."
He refused decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.
The man's eyes quickly flickered with a hint of helplessness,
"Then when are you free? I'll wait for you."
Oh my, when had the Devil Jiang ever been in the station?
Doctor Lu scrutinized the man before her, her red lips slightly parting,
"I don't know, and I think we have nothing to discuss, so let's not waste time, right?"
