Chapter 8 Chapter 8 The school bully wearing a baseball cap
Instead of talking face to face, they could breathe and think about their words over the phone. Xing Kui decided to put it aside for now and get to know Jiang Yuming through WeChat first.
His profile picture is a rose bush. I don’t know where it was taken. It is red and white, growing together. It is just like him, wearing a white coat, but gorgeous.
His nickname is "No Surgery Tomorrow", which seems to indicate that he doesn't like going to work. After all, there are very few people in the world who like going to work.
His circle of friends...Okay, Jiang Yuming didn't post on the circle of friends just like her, so when he clicked on it, it was all blank.
But Xing Kui has now decided to make a change. The car accident made her realize that life is impermanent. She wants to try to do things that she had thought about but did not do before, such as deleting friends, sleeping with handsome guys... and posting on WeChat Moments.
The circle of friends can record traces of life. She doesn’t want her relatives to know nothing about her after her death and only say "What a pity, she is not married yet."
Xing Kui did it right away. She took a picture of the snow scene outside the window and tried to post her first circle of friends. She was very excited, but then her hand froze in the text box for a long time.
What words should she use? Isn't she someone who gets melancholy about the passing of time? Uh... uh... she looked at what others were posting.
Xing Kui exited the editing page and looked through her Moments.
The first message came from Auntie, her mother's younger sister: "No matter how busy or tired you are, you must pay your insurance bills. It's already difficult for young people to find jobs, and we can't put any more pressure on them. Come on, son!" (Photo: Mother and son photo)
The second message was from her uncle, her mother's cousin: Please move your hands to make a fortune... (Forward: sdcd link)
The third one is from my uncle. I don’t know what the relationship is, but I call him uncle anyway: The morning is the beginning of the day, and I am bathed in the beautiful morning light… (I can’t bear to read it anymore, I must have copied it from the Internet)
Xing Kui's eyes went darker and darker. In the end, she didn't add any words, but only posted the picture of the window view.
Okay, Xing Kui, you tried posting on Moments, you're working hard to break through! Very impressive, praise you!
It was snowing lightly today. Xing Kui leaned against the head of the bed. Snow of this degree would not accumulate on the ground, but would only make the ground slippery. She wondered how many patients Huide would receive from car accidents today. She hoped that they could all survive.
Her hand has been getting better recently, and the doctor said she could do some moderate hand exercises. She downloaded Candy Crush on her mobile phone and was looking for fun on her own.
After exhausting her physical strength, she went on Kiwi Film and Television again. Xing Kui had worked diligently over the years, but had not watched a drama in its entirety. The banner on the homepage of the website showed a drama called "See My Stars", which she had some impression of.
It is a recent hot drama, a fantasy drama. She heard from a friend who had deleted the movie that the third male lead flipped the table, was more popular than the male lead, and was super handsome.
Xing Kui is skeptical. She has been severely deceived by her star-chasing friends. What some people call handsome is the kind that only fans can see!
Click to see whether it's true or not. A special advertisement for VIPs begins to play, and a nurse comes in from outside: "Bed number eight."
"Hmm?" Xing Kui looked up.
"Get ready. Go to the first floor of Building 4 up ahead at 6:00 for an MRI. Bring your health card."
"Isn't my turn tomorrow?" You have to wait for several days to get an MRI at Huide. I heard that it won't be like that in the future, as Huide is about to purchase another MRI machine.
"Someone in front of you quit. Remember, be there at six o'clock sharp, on the first floor of Building 4. The directions are on the reservation form. Bring your health card."
The phone showed that it was already past five o'clock. For others, it was no problem to arrive at six o'clock, but it was very difficult for her with her mobility problems.
This happened a bit suddenly. Xing Kui moved from the bed to the wheelchair with difficulty. She wanted to hire a temporary caregiver. The wheelchair was electric and she could push it by herself, but she was afraid there might be obstacles outside.
However, there was no nurse outside. The elevator arrived with a ding. Xing Kui pursed her lips and pushed the wheelchair into the elevator alone.
The hall door closed and two nurses poked their heads out from another ward.
The nurse said to the nurse on the left: "Why are you stopping me? It's fifty yuan per push."
The nurse patted him on the right, half covering her mouth: "Be more careful, how dare you earn the money of bed number eight? Last time, Lao Li wanted to recommend her lawyer, but he was fired the next time.
Do you remember, Xiao Chen? That intern nurse? I just pricked her a few more times, and she got fired. She's been to the hospital making a scene several times.
Bed number eight, it's a plague! I wouldn't dare accept her order for 500, let alone 500. I might consider 5,000..."
Xing Kui didn't know why she couldn't see the nurse, but it didn't matter. It was better to rely on herself than on others. If she was careful, she should be fine.
But no matter whether she was in the elevator or outside, there were always people looking at her strangely. Xing Kui lowered her head to look at the route marked on the MRI appointment form, trying hard to ignore the prying eyes.
The sight was too strong, filled with words like "so ugly" and "so miserable". Xing Kui lightly grasped a corner of the paper and decided to go to Taobao to buy a hat when she returned to the ward.
The wheelchair was suddenly held down by someone, and the young girl's voice rang out: "Where are you going? To get an MRI? I'll push you there."
Xing Kui raised her head back. She was a girl of about twenty-four or twenty-five. There were still many good people in the world: "Thank you." She smiled.
"You're welcome, just call me Xiao Chen."
"Thank you." Xing Kui thanked again. If she came across a vending machine later, she would buy something to thank it.
Building No. 4, where MRIs are performed, has a stepped corridor with slopes on both sides for wheelchairs and strollers to pass through. If there is no one pushing the wheelchair, it would be very dangerous for a person in the wheelchair to slide down.
It was great to have someone to help her. Xing Kui leaned back in her chair and relaxed. Her hands were tired from pressing the controller for a long time, so she loosened her grip a little.
"Your hands hurt, don't they?"
"Yeah, it's much better now."
"Isn't it more painful when the nurse gives you an injection?"
"Yeah, sure." Who wouldn't feel pain when being pricked by a needle?
"Does it hurt as much as if I were fired?"
In front of the slope, Xing Kui suddenly grabbed the handrail and felt a malicious needle-like prick from above his head. Looking at the slope, the hairs on his back stood on end.
The person behind him was trembling: "If you hadn't reported me in a double-faced way, I wouldn't have been fired! I won't be able to work in a big hospital anymore. I'll have to stay in a small clinic. You've ruined my life!"
The wheels of the wheelchair were shaking at the edge of the slope. Xing Kui stared at the slope and struggled to move her back. This person wanted to push her down from here!
Wansheng Hotel private room.
"No one has arrived yet? What are you looking at?" Li Chengchuan frowned, because he had not left Xing Kui for more than ten minutes after the car accident, and his heart was beating unsteadily.
Jiang Yuming stood nearby, seemingly looking at a snow scene on his phone. He swiped quickly, so Li Chengchuan couldn't see clearly. He didn't care, "Contact the monitoring room and have them check on Xing Kui."
"Old Li, you're watching her too closely. You really look like a pervert who would install surveillance cameras in her house." Jiang Yuming, holding his phone, casually walked two steps away from Li Chengchuan and jokingly said, "Even when we brothers have dinner together, you choose a hotel close to Huide."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Jiang Yuming smiled frivolously and tapped the screen with his finger. The screen that Li Chengchuan could not see lit up, and the page showed that he had a one-sided conversation with the monitoring room not long ago.
[Doctor Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the patient.]
[Doctor Jiang, she is taking pictures.]
【She is browsing her Moments.】
[She seems to have posted on WeChat Moments.]
She downloaded the game Candy Crush.
She is playing Candy Crush.
It's only been a few minutes since the last message, she should still be playing games.
Huide Hospital monitoring room.
In order to complete the task assigned by his superiors, the security guard who stared at the surveillance camera without blinking successfully achieved the result of eye soreness. He ate melon seeds and played cards with other security guards in the room, completely unaware of the horrifying scene being played out on the surveillance camera behind him.
People were coming and going in front of Building No. 4 of Huide Hospital, but no one noticed that Xing Kui was in danger.
She gripped the handrail so tightly that her nails almost broke the skin on the handrail. Alarm bells rang wildly in her head, vibrating like the wings of a flying bee.
The wheels of the chair were on the edge of the slope. If the person behind her gave her a slight push, she would be doomed.
Bones that have just experienced a car accident cannot withstand another fall and may be fractured, causing severe pain.
Calm down, Xing Kui! You have to calm down! With her hardware damaged, Xing Kui couldn't think clearly. She wanted to hammer her chaotic brain, but she was afraid that if she let go of the armrest, she would fly away without support.
Wake up, Xing Kui! If you are not awake, who can save you? Xing Kui pinched her fingers hard, using words like "first" and "then" in her mind to sort out connections, forcing herself to find logic in the chaos.
First, the other party said that she was fired and reported, from a big hospital to a small clinic - the other party was the nurse who gave her an injection when she entered the hospital. She was fired because of a fault, but was mistakenly blamed on her.
Then, the other party was very angry with her and wanted to take revenge on her - the hospital had security guards to deal with dangerous situations, and as long as she could calm the other party down and delay time, they would arrive.
Finally, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. If the security guard is too late or unreliable, is there anyone around who she can ask for help?
And how could she calm the other party down? He was emotionally agitated, and her denial of the report would only infuriate him further.
The levels of Candy Crush that I played today flashed in my mind. One elimination may lead to the elimination of a whole game. To achieve that, I need to find the core of the whole game, which is the support point of all Xiao Chen's emotional behaviors.
What fueled her anger? What fueled her vengeance? Big hospitals, small clinics... big, small... Xiao Chen cared about her future.
"If you push me down here, your life will be even worse." Xing Kui clutched the handrail, her lips trembling, but her voice was firm. "You can still go to the clinic now, but if you push me down, you will go to jail."
The wheelchair was pressed against the edge, and Xiao Chen hesitated and was afraid.
"You have to go to jail for me. Do you think it's worth it?"
Xing Kui scratched the handrail. She was also afraid, but she forced herself not to be controlled by the fear. While speaking, she observed the people coming and going around her.
Is there anyone who can subdue Xiao Chen and pull her wheelchair down at the same time... There is a boy ten meters to the side and front. He is very tall and wears a baseball cap. He seems to be asking the guide for directions.
There is hope! He turned in her direction!
"If you go to jail, your life will completely fall apart." Xing Kui said seriously, "You won't even be able to enter a small clinic in the future. What will your parents think of you? Have you decided to accept such a future?"
"No, no." The person behind him murmured helplessly, and the wheelchair moved back very slightly.
Xiao Chen was even more timid. She had the desire but not the courage to do it. After hearing what Xing Kui said, she became worried about the possible consequences.
"I can help you." Xing Kui softened her tone. "Pull me back and I will pretend that this never happened. You are still young and just got lost. I promise that even if someone finds out, I will plead for you and won't let you have a criminal record."
Ahhh, that boy, don't go over there! Xing Kui almost screamed, suppressing her emotions and speaking softly to Xiao Chen.
In fact, every inch of her muscle was tense. The tall boy in the baseball cap walked past her. There was no one around who looked stronger than him. She could only hope that the security guard saw the surveillance and realized from the surveillance that she was in danger.
"Hey." A voice between that of a teenager and a mature man sounded, and a wheat-colored hand pressed Xiao Chen's shoulder. Then, a nimble arm quickly locked Xiao Chen's neck and threw him into the building.
The wheelchair lost its driver, and its wheels instantly slid over the edge of the slope. Xing Kui was horrified, but was quickly pulled back along with the chair.
"Are you okay?" It was the boy wearing the hat. Under the brim of the hat was a fierce face, wheat-colored, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked to be about twenty years old, like a college student, with an alluring aura of a school bully.
He actually controlled the wheelchair with one hand. The sleeves of his army green cotton jacket moved up, revealing a part of his forearm with clear lines and a sense of strength.
Safe! Xing Kui, who had been on the brink of life and death, looked up at the boy, her eyes curved and she smiled, pale and sweet, like a small cake.
The boy stared, then looked away stiffly, his ears red.
The security arrived and restrained Xiao Chen. The security captain who reported to Jiang Yuming was about to cry. He saw Xing Kui playing Candy Crush, so he went to play a few rounds of poker. Who knew something would go wrong during this time?
Doctor Jiang specifically reminded people to pay attention to Xiao Chen. The security captain played a joker card and was almost scared to death when he turned his head and saw the surveillance camera. He ran out of the monitoring room with his men. Fortunately, with the help of enthusiastic people, nothing serious happened.
"Are you not hurt anywhere?" the captain asked respectfully.
With such a conflict, everyone walking around paid attention to her. Xing Kui felt the wound on her forehead burning from being stared at. She dropped her hand to her leg and lowered her head silently: "I'm fine."
The black shadow blocked the light falling on her hands, and a hat covered her head, hiding the hideous wound on her forehead.
It was the wheat-skinned school bully who put his baseball cap on her head and pressed the brim down unceremoniously.
"The police have been called." said the captain.
"Bed number eight!" Xiao Chen was restrained by two security guards, one on each side. He struggled violently and screamed at Xing Kui, "You said you would plead for me! I can't go into the police station!"
Xing Kui looked at her and scratched her fingers: "I'm not... that honest. You have to pay the price for your mistakes."
