Chapter 551: Enemies
Bai Zhi carried a thermos to the inpatient department to visit Ye Qingbai.
When I went in, Shen Qian was there too.
She stood there, seemingly angry, her expression not very pleasant.
Bai Zhi greeted him with a smile, "Dr. Shen, you're here too?"
When Bai Zhi suddenly arrived, Shen Qian was taken aback at first, and then began to complain to her, "I worked hard to get lunch for your brother at noon and brought it over, but he only ate a couple of bites and left it there. Ask him what he meant? If he doesn't eat it, I won't get him lunch next time, and he can go to the cafeteria to eat by himself."
Ye Qingbai pouted and muttered, "My leg is fine, it's not like I can't eat at the cafeteria, but I'm getting an IV drip at noon, so I can't leave."
If he goes to the cafeteria to eat, he can pick and choose the delicious food.
What did Shen Qian send him?
Plain rice porridge, green vegetables, and steamed buns—no meat at all.
He hadn't eaten meat for several days.
I didn't sleep well last night, and I feel like I'm floating when I walk.
If he continues to recuperate like this, when he returns to the army, let alone the usual high-intensity training, he probably won't even be able to complete a five-kilometer cross-country run.
Ye Qingbai actually complained, which made Shen Qian's face even uglier. She scoffed, "Fine, then you'll have to take care of your own meals from now on. I won't get you any more food, and the other nurses in our department don't have time to help you either."
Shen Qian's words posed absolutely no threat to Ye Qingbai.
He had planned to eat in the cafeteria by himself starting tomorrow.
In addition, his attention had now fallen on the thermos in Bai Zhi's hand.
His cousin had promised him yesterday that she would stew pork ribs for him.
I didn't expect it to arrive so soon.
He asked with a smile, "Xiao Zhi, what did you mention?"
As expected, Bai Zhi's answer did not disappoint him: "I stewed some pork ribs for you."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Shen Qian added irritably, "He needs to eat light food."
"It's okay, the ribs are edible. I stewed them so they're not greasy."
Bai Zhi placed the thermos on the table and began looking for a lunchbox in the drawer. She said to Shen Qian, "I made a lot, so you can have some too. You didn't sleep all night, you must be tired."
Bai Zhi's words warmed Shen Qian's heart and moved her deeply.
She sighed and rolled her eyes at Ye Qingbai. "It's really hard work. I only get a few hours of sleep before going to work, and I even get him meals. He still complains about me. The food for patients in the cafeteria is just so-so. It's not like I cooked it."
Ye Qingbai heard that Shen Qian hadn't slept all night.
To his surprise, Bai Zhi knew that Shen Qian hadn't slept all night.
He then realized that Bai Zhi must have come to the hospital last night as well.
This explains why Lu Ye came to his hospital room out of nowhere.
He was probably accompanying Bai Zhi.
When he arrived, he was of no use and could only wait in the ward.
Ye Qingbai's tone softened, and he chuckled, "Dr. Shen, I don't dislike you, it's just that my body really can't take it anymore."
Bai Zhi said to Shen Qian, "Please sit down. I've prepared a small bowl for you both to serve you ribs."
Shen Qian was angered by Ye Qingbo and originally wanted to leave.
But the moment Bai Zhi opened the thermos, the aroma of the ribs wafted out, and she couldn't take her step.
To be honest, she was getting tired of eating in the cafeteria every day.
I keep reminiscing about the meal I had at Baizhi's house on New Year's Eve, but unfortunately I've been too busy these past few days to go.
There's no way she can go to his house for a meal, and now that she's practically offering herself up, why wouldn't she eat?
So she shamelessly sat down on the bench.
Bai Zhi filled Ye Qingbai's lunchbox with pork ribs and soup, and also filled a small bowl for Shen Qian.
"Eat up and try my cooking. I even added white radish."
Ye Qingbai took it and asked Bai Zhi with concern, "Cousin, have you eaten?"
"We've already eaten, you two go ahead and eat."
"Alright, then I won't be polite." Ye Qingbai wolfed down his food, but Bai Zhi reminded him, "Cousin, you should drink more soup, otherwise it will be hard to digest."
Ye Qingbai swallowed the meat in his mouth, spat out the bone, and said, "Look at what you're saying. I've only seen this little bit of meat in all these days. What's so hard about it? I can digest it even if I'm lying down. My digestive system is perfectly fine."
Seeing how much they enjoyed their meal, Bai Zhi felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Shen Qian ate two pieces of pork ribs and drank a bowl of soup before putting down the bowl.
"I'm still busy, I have to go now."
She stood up, glanced at Ye Qingbai, and said to Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, come out for a moment, I need to talk to you about something."
Ye Qingbo pouted in dissatisfaction when he saw Shen Qian talking to Bai Zhi behind his back.
Girls are just so troublesome.
Bai Zhi followed him out.
She asked Chen Qian, "What's wrong? Is something wrong with that patient?"
"He was perfectly fine when I came over this morning, but now that I'm in charge of him, I'm really worried. Do you want to come with me to check on him?"
Because she had received further training at the Nancheng Military Region Hospital and had relevant clinical experience, Director Liu specifically assigned this patient to her care.
This made her feel honored, but it also increased the pressure.
"Now?" When they left in the early morning, she told Dean Liu that she would come back tomorrow.
Shen Qian looked at her with expectant eyes, "Yes, I'll feel at ease if you go and see me now. This is the first time I've been in charge of such an important critically ill patient. I'm really afraid something might go wrong, and I can't bear the responsibility."
If it's a simple case of external injury, she can consult other experienced colleagues if she has any questions.
But that patient's situation was special; if he suddenly became agitated, she wouldn't know how to give him an acupuncture.
Previously, in situations like this, the only option was to use sedatives.
Now that we have Angelica dahurica, we definitely need to use new treatment methods.
So she wanted to ask Bai Zhi to come over and take a look, to give her advice.
"Okay, I'll tell my cousin and go with you to see him. Go get me some clothes first."
Bai Zhi agreed to her request, and Shen Qian's solemn face instantly relaxed. She happily said, "Okay, I'll go prepare the clothes right away."
Bai Zhi returned to the ward.
Ye Qingbai was still happily gnawing on the ribs.
Seeing Bai Zhi come in, he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Zhi, why did Dr. Chen call you? Why are you two talking behind my back? Is she saying bad things about me to you?"
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes and said irritably, "No, what did they say about you? You should just focus on recovering."
Bai Zhi looked at Ye Qingbai and earnestly advised, "Dr. Shen is a very responsible and good doctor. You should cooperate with her more. People work hard enough every day. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be the one to do the meal service. She must be doing this because we know each other. She delivers your meals every day, and you still complain."
"Okay, okay, I'll eat whatever he beats from now on." Ye Qingbai finished speaking, his eyes darting around as he looked at her with a smile. "But you also have to promise me that you'll bring me a meal every now and then."
Knowing that she would be coming to the hospital for the next few days, I readily agreed, "Okay, I'll bring you food every day for the next two days."
