Chapter 572: An Accidental Encounter on the Train
That evening, while Lu Ye was washing the dishes, Bai Zhi quietly put away the thousand yuan she had borrowed from Ye Qingbai.
I planned to return it to Ye Qingbai when I went to the hospital tomorrow.
Then I realized that setting up a clinic would also require money.
Let's keep this for emergencies first.
She didn't tell Lu Ye that she had borrowed money from Ye Qingbai.
I'm afraid he'll lose face.
As her husband, he would also feel frustrated when she, a woman, went out to borrow money.
If she had known he had so much money, why would she have borrowed any?
The next day, after finishing treatment at the hospital for Officer Sun, I planned to go straight home.
I just finished watching Ye Qingbai yesterday, so I won't go today.
As a result, Shen Qian started talking to her about Ye Qingbai.
They said Ye Qingbai's stitches have been removed and reconstruction work will begin today.
After mastering the reconstruction techniques, you can be discharged from the hospital and return to your unit to rebuild your body yourself.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi said to Chen Qian, "Then you must give him a good talking-to. Don't be a workaholic. He must take it easy. The reconstruction must also be carried out strictly according to the plan you gave. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he pulls a muscle."
"Will he listen if I say so?" Shen Qian looked at Bai Zhi and said casually, "You should go and remind him."
"You're his attending physician, so of course he has to listen to you. You should have a good talk with him. I'm heading back now. Tomorrow, Lu Ye and I are going to the city to buy a motorcycle, and I'll ride it over and take you for a spin."
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
Shen Qian listened to Bai Zhi's words, and of course, as Ye Qingbai's attending physician, he should do his duty.
She devised a strict reconstruction plan for Ye Qingbai, along with his daily exercise routine and dietary considerations.
It took two whole pages to write.
Ye Qingbai was completely bewildered when he saw the densely packed papers she handed him.
His lips twitched slightly. "Dr. Shen, so many things to consider?"
Shen Qian looked at him expressionlessly and nodded, "That's right, you must strictly abide by the precautions listed here."
Ye Qingbai forced a smile and tried to reason with him, "There's no need to be so serious. My injuries are all healed. Just teach me how to rebuild them, and I'll practice when I get back. I'm tough as nails, there's really no need to be so meticulous."
"I'm a doctor, just listen to me."
Shen Qian didn't give him any room to discuss it; she was completely businesslike. "Put this away. Come back next week to change the dressing. Also, remember to rest."
"You can be discharged tomorrow morning."
After giving her instructions, Shen Qian turned and left the ward.
When the nurse came to bring him his medicine, she saw Ye Qingbai staring at the recovery plan that Shen Qian had written for him with a look of utter despair.
The nurse smiled and said, "Comrade Ye, our Dr. Shen really cares about you. I've never seen her so attentive to any patient before. She wrote two pages just for the medical orders."
Moreover, my handwriting was messy when I wrote medical orders in the past.
What she wrote to Ye Qingbai was clear and distinct.
Upon hearing the nurse's words, Ye Qingbai paused slightly and looked at her, "Really?"
"Of course!" The nurse was a lively and cheerful girl, and also quite gossipy. "You two seem to know each other very well. You're not her boyfriend, are you?"
Ye Qingbai awkwardly put away the two pieces of paper and coughed lightly, "Young comrade, don't talk nonsense."
"Since you're not her boyfriend, you must be her type. Does she want to pursue you?"
Seeing Ye Qingbai's embarrassed face, which was also flushed, the nurse smiled and said, "I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."
The nurse finished dispensing the medication and left.
Her words kept echoing in Ye Qingbai's mind.
He shook his head, dismissing the jumbled thoughts.
How could that be?
How could she possibly like herself?
It was just that, as an acquaintance, I was giving him extra care.
...
Bai Zhi had to go to the city to ride a motorcycle in the morning, and surprisingly, she couldn't sleep last night.
In Lu Ye's words, Bai Zhi was too excited to sleep.
Bai Zhi had no idea what she was excited about.
She remembered that when she was little, her grandfather would say he would take her to the market, and she would never be able to sleep for the nights beforehand.
Excited and looking forward to it.
I can't wait for dawn to break.
Now, she has seen it all.
I have everything.
It's unbelievable that there would still be such expectations.
She actually really likes this vibrant version of herself.
It is remarkable that someone who has experienced so much and lived two lifetimes can still have such enthusiasm and anticipation for life.
This is truly rare for her.
In the middle of the night, Lu Ye forced her into sleep, otherwise Bai Zhi wouldn't have the energy to go shopping.
In the morning, Lu Ye didn't make breakfast. He woke up his wife at seven o'clock.
When Bai Zhi sat up, Lu Ye had already brought all the clothes she wanted to wear and placed them on the bed.
"Wear this wool coat and a thin sweater underneath; it'll be sunny at midday."
Bai Zhi looked at the clothes he had carefully chosen for her, her fair face filled with sweetness and happiness, "Okay."
Lu Ye served his wife throughout the entire process of getting dressed and getting ready.
After she finished getting dressed and washing up, he said, "I didn't make breakfast today. Let's go out and buy some steamed buns while we're in the car."
"Okay, whatever you say."
The couple arrived at the bus station. Lu Ye bought breakfast and boarded the bus. He checked his watch and saw that there were still twenty minutes until departure.
"Let's eat first."
Bai Zhi took a cabbage bun, took a bite, and felt that the cabbage was a bit bland.
Lu Ye happened to bite into the potato and mustard green filling.
"Try this one, it's delicious."
Lu Ye held the steamed bun in his hand to his wife's mouth. Just as Bai Zhi was about to take a bite, she caught a glimpse of two familiar figures out of the corner of her eye.
She stopped biting into the bun instantly and looked at the car door in surprise.
"Come on, let's sit in the back."
"Sister-in-law Guifang, where are you going?" The people getting on the car were Liu Guifang and Wang Yumei.
Liu Guifang rarely wore the dark red woolen coat that she had worn on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and her hair was also neatly combed.
Hearing Bai Zhi's voice, Liu Guifang looked over and saw the couple. She smiled and asked, "Xiao Bai, Xiao Lu, what are you doing in the car?"
"We're going to the city to take care of some business."
Bai Zhi didn't mention buying a motorcycle, and Liu Guifang, fearing it would embarrass Wang Yumei, also didn't mention going to the hospital to see a specialist. "It just so happens that we're going to the city for a visit as well."
Liu Guifang pointed to the seats behind her and said to Bai Zhi, "There are seats in the back, let's sit in the back."
The two sat down behind Lu Ye and Bai Zhi.
Lu Ye continued to hold the steamed bun to Bai Zhi's lips, letting her taste it.
When Bai Zhi took a bite of the steamed bun, he considerately caught it with his own palm.
