Chapter 5 Chapter 5 She would be this brother's ideal type
Jiang Yuming tilted his head back, resting it against the cold iron door behind him, staring at Li Chengchuan with a meaningful smile.
"Lao Li, you have such a sense of crisis."
The evening light shone through the narrow window high up on his face, like a rose gilded with gold, untouchable and gorgeous. "Okay, then today will be the first day of my impotence."
Jiang Yuming shrugged nonchalantly. He couldn't possibly lift her up to Xing Kui anyway. She wasn't a supermodel, nor was she wild. She was well-behaved and sensible, which completely hit his sore spot. "Don't think everyone treats Xing Kui like you do."
"That's because you have poor vision, but you'd better keep it up." In Li Chengchuan's eyes, his fiancée is the best in the world.
Jiang Yuming thought it was funny. Time would tell who was the one with the real lack of vision.
The coldness on the back of his head reminded Jiang Yuming of the coldness of Xing Kui's hands. Xing Kui's type was not within his preference, but there was no doubt that she was pure and innocent, and quite pleasing to the eye.
"Find a way to give Xing Kui a cell phone, and let her use yours, how stuffy."
Li Chengchuan edited the message and glanced at his good brother coldly. "Do I need him to remind me?" He took his phone from Xing Kui just to give his assistant instructions.
At six o'clock, Xing's mother returned to the ward with several bags of dinner, set up a table by the bed, and opened the thermal box on the table.
As he unpacked the food, he couldn't stop praising it: "It's truly a great hotel, the service is excellent! They even gave me a thermos, and the price is affordable. Kuikui, try it later and see if it's delicious. The hotel manager said they're developing a nutritional package for patients. If you like it, I'll order it from them."
Xing Kui smiled at her mother. She was used to the pain now. It really wasn't as painful as before. She still had no appetite, but she had to force herself to eat something.
"What's this? A cashback card for positive reviews?" Xing Kui pulled out a red and gold card from her bag. "Big hotels also offer these?"
Xing's mother smiled and said, "It's a lottery card. The manager said the first prize is the latest mobile phone!"
In bed number seven, Li Chengchuan was handling group affairs on his laptop. He clicked on WeChat in the lower right corner and sent a message to his assistant.
The keyboard tapped out four words: [Well done.]
At Wansheng Hotel, the hotel manager, a team of gold medal nutritionists, and more than a dozen people were crowded around Li Chengchuan's assistant, guarding his mobile phone.
As soon as they saw the big boss's reply, everyone either clenched their fists with joy or patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief. That was great, that was great. Time was tight, and they had downloaded a template from the Internet to make the lottery cards, and luckily nothing went wrong.
After Li Chengchuan clicked the send button, he quietly raised his eyelids and looked at Xing Kui. She smiled optimistically at Xing's mother, opened the outer packaging of the chopsticks, and then threw the lottery card and the outer packaging of the chopsticks into the bag... Throw into the bag?
Honey, why don’t you scratch it off?
The indwelling needle was stuck in Xing Kui's right hand, making it inconvenient for her to hold chopsticks. She was struggling with the pigeon meat.
Xing's mother opened the steamed egg pot and said, "Why did you just throw the card away? Why don't you try it?"
"Didn't you see the prizes? First prize is a phone, sixth prize is points. I'm sure I'll get points if I scratch the ticket. This is all a scam by merchants to make money and trick you into buying again."
Li Chengchuan moved the mouse, clicked on the affirmation he had just given to his assistant, and right-clicked to withdraw it.
Who asked them to set the minimum reward as points?
At the Wansheng Hotel, the assistants, who hadn't laughed for long, felt as if the sky had fallen when they saw the message "'The King of Hell, who must not be provoked', has withdrawn a message" pop up on their phones.
No, they did it perfectly, didn't they? They even emphasized on the card that it was "100% guaranteed to win"!
Afraid that Xing's mother wouldn't believe him, Xing Kui took out the lottery card again and pointed at the words on it: "Look, '100% Winning'. Writing words like that in such large letters, enticing people to scratch the lottery, must mean they are confident they won't lose money. Want to win a cell phone? It's probably one in millions."
Li Chengchuan: "..."
He moved his lips, not knowing how to join the conversation between mother and daughter. Seeing Xing Kui was about to throw the card back into the bag - "Give it a try."
Xing Kui turned her head away and saw Li Chengchuan staring at her from the bed next to her. His handsome face suddenly made her feel hungry.
"Let's give it a try. Wansheng is of average size, so the chances of winning in their lottery draws won't be low. Surviving a disaster will surely bring good fortune later on, maybe."
Maybe, if she can't win a mobile phone, she can still win other prizes. Xing Kui glanced at the prizes on the points list, coupons, canvas bags with hotel logos, packages of a certain price... She was not interested in these.
But Li Chengchuan was right. She had the same chance of getting into a car accident as she did among millions of people. Why couldn't she win the equally low-probability jackpot? They were all the same probability, so why could she only be unlucky and not lucky?
His heart was pounding, and Xing Kui moved his injured hand, touched the silver-gray coating, and slowly scraped it off.
The golden words "First Prize" came into view. Xing Kui was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "Mom! Mom! First Prize!"
Seeing Xing Kui's excitement, Li Chengchuan was also happy about it. He turned his head back to look at the notebook, and a smile was suppressed at the corner of his mouth away from bed number eight.
Finally, the phone was given away.
The mother and daughter were excited for a while, and Xing's mother called the hotel manager to confirm.
Manager: "Really? Wow, Ms. Xing, you're so lucky! Congratulations on winning the grand prize! I'll deliver your prize to the hospital tomorrow morning and give you breakfast as well."
Xing Kui felt it was not real and looked at the lottery card again and again.
Xing's mother didn't suspect anything. She noticed an extra pair of chopsticks in the hotel takeaway bag and called out to Li Chengchuan, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Do you want to join us?"
Li Chengchuan was about to agree when Xing Kui flipped through the card and said, "No, he's a mysophobe."
This one sentence made both Xing's mother and Li Chengchuan embarrassed.
It's over. The impression he made on his mother-in-law...
At night, Li Chengchuan also lost points with his mother-in-law because Xing's mother would snore loudly when she slept.
Li Chengchuan couldn't sleep, and Xing Kui couldn't sleep either. They turned over and looked at each other.
In February, white snow flakes were floating outside the window, and the small window high above the door let in the warm yellow light from the corridor. Not to mention, this eye contact was quite atmospheric, if Xing Kui didn't have pain on her head and body.
Judging from the films taken so far, Xing Kui has no fractures for the time being. Fortunately, she had the car accident in winter and was wearing a lot of clothes, especially her coat, which was a densely woven windbreaker.
However, there are also cases where no fracture is found on the same day but is discovered later. Her legs and arms are difficult to move at the moment. Jiang Yuming said that it is best to wait a few days until the soft tissue contusion is better and then take an MRI for further examination.
The most serious injury was to the head. First, there was a scratch on the forehead. The wound was very deep and required twelve stitches. Second, there was damage inside the head, with some intracranial hemorrhage and concussion.
Xing Kui's head ached and she felt tired, but her mother's snoring was too loud. Her mother had been running around for her for several hours and was tired. She couldn't wake her mother up without conscience.
Looking at Li Chengchuan, Xing Kui curled her lips apologetically and said, "I'm sorry."
The patient got out of bed. Xing Kui looked at his long legs, the black slippers wrapped around his feet, and then he approached her. Eh?
Li Chengchuan bent his knees and half-knelt beside her bed. He covered her ears with his warm palms to suppress her snoring: "Go to sleep."
Go to sleep, and then be sure to wake up tomorrow.
Xing Kui stared at him blankly, his two arms narrowing her vision, making her feel as if she could only see Li Chengchuan in the whole world. It was very warm, she thought, and she was right, there was really a sense of atmosphere when looking into his eyes.
Hey, Xing Kui, stop thinking about it. I mean well, how can I let you do whatever you want? Go to sleep, go to sleep.
I fell into her story in a daze. Xing Kui came from an ordinary family. Her parents were factory workers. She studied hard when she was a student and worked hard after graduation. She was honest and hardworking for more than 20 years, but she was almost killed in a car accident.
She has experienced the unpredictability of life. Today, Dr. Jiang helped her delete the friends who had been sucking away her energy for many years. She felt very refreshed. There are many things she wanted to do but didn't do before, and she wants to try to do them in the future.
She was lucky in the lottery today. God bless her. I hope she will meet many good people in the future. It would be best if there are more handsome guys like Jiang Yuming and Li Chengchuan. She has never slept with a handsome guy yet, hehe.
Hey, does Bodhisattva accept this kind of wish?
Xing Kui frowned in her sleep, then raised the corners of her mouth in an instant. Never mind, let’s make the promise first.
Li Chengchuan knelt beside Xing Kui's bed. He didn't know what she dreamed about and why she was so happy. But it didn't matter. As long as it was a good dream, he could help her realize it even if she wanted to travel in space.
The moon gradually set, it was not yet bright outside, the snow was still falling, and the vastness spread under the dim blue sky. A strange nurse pushed the door open, woke up Xing Kui, and wanted to draw her blood.
She was startled when she saw the thin needle in her daze. Later she realized that it was a routine blood test. She grabbed the quilt and endured the pain, looking at the bed next to her. Why didn't he need to take the test?
Later, another nurse came to measure blood pressure. Why didn’t the patient in the next bed need to have his blood pressure measured?
With the support of Xing's mother, Xing Kui prepared the urine test tube and came out of the bathroom. No, why was the person in the bed next to him not eligible for any examination?
Walking past bed number seven, Xing Kui couldn't help but turned her head and said, "Well... forget it." Maybe each disease is different.
The sun had risen completely, and the sky after the snow was a fresh white. On the road outside Huide Hospital, an ordinary-looking gray car was driving.
The owner of the car is Dr. Jiang Yuming, an orthopedic surgeon known at Huide Hospital as a "patient killer." He sits in an ordinary car, but its appearance alone makes the interior feel luxurious.
He was wearing headphones and the phone on the stand showed that he was on a voice call.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Li doesn't pay any attention to me. He was dumped by his fiancée. Do you think he's going to be depressed and drunk at home? He doesn't even have the energy to shave his beard. He's decadent and miserable. He's a master of desk cleaning."
"...Your brother Li likes cleanliness. He is busy and has no time to check the group."
"I understand. He's turning his grief and anger into motivation to work and earn his 1 billion! Hey, I've already bought my plane ticket. When I return to China, I'm going to teach that woman who abandoned him a lesson."
Jiang Yuming turned the steering wheel. Now he was the only one who knew that the mysterious fiancée had never hurt Li Chengchuan, she just lost her memory.
The chatterbox on the phone was genuinely upset for Li Chengchuan: "I'm so pissed off! Brother Li is over 30 years old, and it's so hard for his old house to catch fire, and who had the heart to put it out so quickly?"
Jiang Yuming drove into the parking lot and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Maybe you can be cruel."
"? Where's that fiancée I'm talking about?"
Yes, Li Chengchuan’s fiancée would definitely be this brother’s ideal type.
"Don't joke with me, Brother Jiang. Brother Li and I are iron-clad brothers. If Brother Li likes the woman I like, I will definitely give her up. Wow, this brotherhood really touched me. I'll say it again and record it."
Jiang Yuming stopped the car, closed the door, waited nonchalantly for the person on the other end of the phone to finish speaking, then hung up and smiled.
He had no intention of explaining the truth. Firstly, it was Li Chengchuan's private matter; secondly, he liked to be a bystander watching the show; thirdly, he had cleared Xing Kui's friend list, so why not give her some new ones?
Several family members who came to visit the patient walked past Jiang Yuming, holding milk in their hands. Jiang Yuming paused, reached out to open the car door again, got in the car, and drove out of the parking lot.
The security guard saw this and said, "Doctor Jiang, why are you leaving right after you arrived?"
Jiang Yuming smiled and said, "Go buy a box of milk for the good kid."
