Chapter 563: Alarmist
Ye Qingbai bent his uninjured arm, trying to prove his physique, "You know, I'm strong and healthy, I can recover from this little injury at home, why would I stay in the hospital for a week and have to get IV drips all day?"
He can't exercise even if he stays here.
My stomach feels softer these past two days.
His abs have all disappeared.
He needs to get back to work as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if your business skills decline, you won't be able to make a living in the future.
Bai Zhi said, "Since we're here, we'll listen to the doctor."
"The main thing is that I don't feel any discomfort. It takes 100 days to recover from a bone injury, so I'll just let it heal on its own. Will it heal faster if I stay in the hospital?"
No matter how much Ye Qingbai complained, Bai Zhi chose not to respond, saying, "This is not my responsibility. You should talk to your attending physician."
“My attending physician is Shen Qian. I told her, but she ignored me and even complained that I was making a fuss. You have a good relationship with her, and I can tell she listens to you. Why don’t you talk to her? Let me go back to the team, or let me stay at your house.” Ye Qingbai looked at Bai Zhi with bright eyes and made his request.
Thinking about the embarrassing scene in the ward yesterday, he felt too ashamed to stay any longer.
Especially since he has to face Shen Qian every day.
Bai Zhi, "..."
She said irritably, "Why would you come to my house to stay? Do you expect me to take care of you, you injured person?"
She doesn't have time to care for patients right now; she has more important patients who need treatment.
Bai Zhi's disdainful tone hurt Ye Qingbai deeply. Just a few days ago, she had moved him, but now she was so cold towards him.
“What’s wrong with you taking care of me? We’re family, and family should take care of each other. Don’t you have a room at your house? I’ll stay there. My only problem is my arm injury, but I can move around without any problems. I won’t cause you too much trouble.”
Ye Qingbai said boldly, "Besides, I won't stay at your place for free. I'll pay for my meals, okay?"
Staying at my cousin's house at least makes me feel a bit better.
He can return to his unit and resume his normal work after staying for two days.
“This is not up to me. If the hospital agrees to your discharge, you need to apply to the military before my family can accept you.”
"We'll discuss it further after the doctor assesses your condition."
Bai Zhi asked him, "It's lunchtime, I'm going to the cafeteria. Are you going to wait in the ward for your hospital meal, or are you going to eat in the cafeteria by yourself?"
Ye Qingbai hurriedly got off the hospital bed and quickly put on his shoes. "I'll go to the cafeteria with you."
Bai Zhi gave Ye Qingbai a coat to wear, and the two went to the hospital cafeteria for lunch.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Shen Qian.
Upon seeing Shen Qian, Ye Qingbai nudged Bai Zhi and whispered, "Xiao Zhi, Dr. Shen is over there. Talk to her later and ask her to let me be discharged."
Before Bai Zhi could speak, Shen Qian turned around and looked over.
Upon seeing Bai Zhi, she waved and called out, "Hurry up."
The two walked up to Shen Qian, and Ye Qingbai forced a polite smile as he greeted her, "Dr. Shen."
"Hmm." Shen Qian turned her face away somewhat uncomfortably.
Let's go.
Upon entering the cafeteria, Ye Qingbai clamored for chicken legs, but Shen Qian didn't respond at all.
Bai Zhi sensed that the atmosphere between the two was somewhat subtle.
She subtly observed Shen Qian's expression and saw that she had no intention of giving Ye Qingbai any dietary advice.
He got himself some food and put it on the table.
She seemed to be avoiding Ye Qingbai.
Seeing Ye Qingbai's eyes darting around the windows, Bai Zhi reminded him, "Cousin, as long as you don't eat spicy or greasy food, you can eat anything. Take a look and I'll bring it to you when you've decided."
Ye Qingbai headed straight for the window with chicken legs, but shook his head, "No need, my hand is fine."
"Then I'll head over first." Bai Zhi ate simply, ordering steamed buns, cabbage and tofu, and a bowl of soup.
Besides, during the Lunar New Year, the hospital cafeteria really doesn't have much good food.
Many of the dishes were indeed... well, let's just say they were not very good.
Putting aside whether it tastes good or not, its appearance alone makes it unappetizing.
No wonder Ye Qingbai was insisting on being discharged from the hospital.
How is my cousin doing now?
Mentioning Ye Qingbai, Shen Qianyan suppressed the subtle emotions in her eyes and said, "The medicine hasn't finished yet, it should take a few more days. But his arm will need to be reconstructed after it heals, otherwise its function will be limited."
Bai Zhi nodded, "Okay, then let him stay here in peace and get more medication for a few more days, otherwise he's prone to infection."
Ye Qingbai came over carrying a lunchbox, and upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, his expression became subtle. "How could I get infected?"
Bai Zhi spoke with righteous indignation, her fair face unusually serious, "Of course you can! Any wound can become infected. If you're discharged from the hospital and start training blindly without paying attention to the bacteria in your wound, your arm could be ruined in serious cases."
Shen Qian's expression became subtle upon hearing Bai Zhi's words.
There's no need to be so alarmist.
Ye Qingbai rolled his eyes and retorted irritably, "Is it that serious? My comrade was injured before and it wasn't this serious. He rested for a few days and then went back to work."
“Everyone’s constitution is different.” Bai Zhi said to him seriously, “Health is the foundation. Since there’s nothing to do during the New Year, you should take good care of yourself. First, heal your wound, and then let Dr. Shen evaluate it to see how to do reconstruction. Otherwise, if you are discharged from the hospital in a daze now, your function will be limited later, and you may not even be able to hold a gun steadily.”
Ye Qingbai had originally hoped that Bai Zhi could talk to Shen Qian about letting him be discharged from the hospital, but she was even stricter than Shen Qian.
That sounds so scary.
It's as if he'd have to have his leg amputated if he didn't stay in this hospital.
He couldn't disbelieve the doctor's words, nor dared he disobey them, so he could only mutter, "Fine, I'll stay."
Ye Qingbai gnawed on a chicken leg in a huff.
The chicken leg already didn't have much flavor, and now it tasted even blander.
"When do you take a break?" Bai Zhi asked Chen Qian while eating.
"I'll rest the day after tomorrow," she said. "I can only rest after the patient is transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward and everything is stable."
Bai Zhi calculated that the day after tomorrow is the eighth day of the first lunar month.
"Are all the shops in the county town open by the eighth day of the lunar month? Let's go take a look." She asked Chen Qian.
Shen Qian replied, "Some of them are open, it just depends on what you're selling."
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the county town usually holds a folk performance, which lasts until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
There are many people on the street, so some shops are very open.
"I want to buy a motorcycle; it's too inconvenient to travel back and forth like this."
Bai Zhi said this, and Shen Qian agreed, "You know, buying a motorcycle is more convenient. If I lived far away, I would definitely buy one too."
Upon hearing Shen Qian's words, Ye Qingbai, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, suddenly became interested and said, "Then you two can each buy one, and it will be cheaper."
When Bai Zhi adopted his suggestion and decided to buy a motorcycle, Ye Qingbai's mood immediately brightened.
That way, he can hitch a ride on his cousin's motorcycle.
Of course, the prerequisite is that she buys a car with more horsepower.
