Chapter 149: Gu Jingyi is still alive
Lu Ye was sitting next to Bai Zhi at that moment. He listened to her calmly recount her situation during this period, and his eyes were filled with guilt.
A dull ache shot through my cold, hardened heart.
It turns out that during the treatment of her illness, she endured so much pressure from his family and lived such a repressed life.
His second aunt was bullying his girlfriend so much, and he didn't even know it.
He reached out and took her hand.
He said to Lu Shaoan in a deep voice, "Second Uncle, if you want Doctor Ye to treat my Second Aunt, go to him yourself. Don't make things difficult for Xiao Zhi."
Old Master Lu made no comment, and Lu Shaoan's face turned ashen. He knew that Bai Zhi's attitude meant she could not forgive Wang Shufen.
What else could he say?
Just then, Lu Shan came home from get off work, and Zhang Ma had prepared dinner, inviting everyone to eat in the dining room.
Wang Shufen stood in the corner of the living room the whole time, listening to Lu Shaoan and Bai Zhi's conversation.
At first, after Lu Shaoan said so much, she thought there was a chance.
Bai Zhi should show respect to Buddha, not monks.
Perhaps they will agree to treat her illness.
She almost went over to Bai Zhi to apologize and reconcile with her.
Who would have thought that Bai Zhi would show no respect whatsoever and expose all the things she had done?
Wang Shufen could only shrink back again; at this point, she was too ashamed to come out.
When Zhang Ma, carrying the food, saw Wang Shufen standing at the corner, she respectfully said, "Second Madam, it's time to eat."
"Oh, okay."
Wang Shufen had no choice but to come over.
She has been in a very bad mental state these past few days, especially at night. She suffers from insomnia and vivid dreams, and even when she does fall asleep, she can't sleep soundly.
I felt extremely weak.
Lu Shan said this was related to her illness not being under control; the medication she was currently taking only had a pain-relieving effect.
Not only does it not cure the disease, it also masks its progression.
She feels very unwell, which means that her illness has been in an active phase.
It was completely out of control.
The more Wang Shufen thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the more frightened she became, the more anxious she became.
Originally, when Lu Shaoan went to talk to Bai Zhi about the treatment, she had high hopes.
Since her boss, Mr. Lu, has intervened and spoken so sincerely, Bai Zhi will surely give him some face.
Who would have thought she would be so tough?
Now that her legendary doctor grandfather has returned, she has every right to be arrogant.
Wang Shufen dragged her ailing leg to the dining table, saw Bai Zhi, and forced a smile to greet her.
"Auntie, please sit down." Bai Zhi said indifferently and gave her seat to Wang Shufen, while she herself sat down to Lu Ye's left.
Lu Shan sat next to Bai Zhi, separating her from Wang Shufen.
Wang Shufen's dream of talking to Bai Zhi was shattered.
With Lu Ye and Lu Shan surrounding her, Bai Zhi ate her meal quite quietly. With Lu Ye around, she didn't even need to pick up the food herself.
After dinner, Bai Zhi greeted Grandpa Lu and went upstairs to her room.
She was tired after a long day and wanted to rest early.
As soon as he entered the house, Lu Shan followed him.
"Xiao Zhi, can we talk?"
Bai Zhi looked at her and chuckled, "Okay, come in."
She let Lu Shan in, pulled out the only chair in the room for Lu Shan, and sat down on the edge of the bed herself.
"Dr. Lu, what can I do for you?" she asked.
"It's nothing really, I just wanted to talk to you."
Lu Shan had a cool and aloof expression, but Bai Zhi could tell that she was preoccupied with something on her mind.
Bai Zhi just looked at her, waiting for her to say something next.
She believed that Lu Shan would never come in and chat with her for no reason.
Lu Shan pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Bai Zhi and smiled, "Last time you said that Niu Niu's second uncle must still be alive, that sentence really encouraged me."
When she mentioned Niu Niu's second uncle, Gu Jingyi, Bai Zhi's expression became complicated.
“You’ve been in Nancheng for so long, I find you quite amazing,” Lu Shan said again.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi smiled and shrugged, "Amazing? What makes you say that?"
"I feel that you have a very unique power that is inconsistent with your age in your behavior and actions."
Lu Shan looked at her, her cool eyes filled with admiration, "And your medical skills are nothing like someone who has studied for three years. Let alone traditional Chinese medicine, even if we study Western medicine for three years, we can only learn the basics. I entered medical school at eighteen, and it has been eleven years now, and I still don't have your confidence and ability."
Bai Zhi laughed it off, "Dr. Lu, that's different. You're on the operating table, where a single mistake could be a matter of life and death. I can learn as I go and treat patients at the same time."
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, Lu Shan didn't say anything more, and the two fell silent again.
After a long while, Bai Zhi looked at her and said,
"Dr. Lu, Comrade Gu will definitely return safely, you can trust me."
When Lu Shan met Bai Zhi's firm and resolute gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
Last night, she dreamed of Gu Jingyi. He was covered in blood and standing in front of her, smiling at her.
In her dream, she shouted at him urgently, asking where he had gone and why he hadn't come back.
He wiped the blood from his face and said something she couldn't understand.
He said, "Someone will tell you where I am."
She woke up with a start and couldn't fall back asleep.
Because of that dream, she has been absent-minded all day.
Especially Gu Jingyi's meaningful words in the dream.
And the expression on his face when he smiled at her was so genuine.
It felt so real, it didn't feel like a dream at all.
She never believed in metaphysics, but today, she wanted to be superstitious just once.
She thought of Bai Zhi.
She remembered her saying that Gu Jingyi was still alive.
"Xiao Zhi, you said Gu Jingyi is still alive, is that just a comforting thought?" Lu Shan looked at her, trying to get a satisfactory answer.
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "It's more of a comfort than a belief. Look at Lu Ye, he suffered such great danger, but he still came back. So, I believe Comrade Gu will also come back, even if he is seriously injured or has a near-death experience. They will always come back alive, simply because there are people who love them waiting for them at home."
As Bai Zhi said this, she couldn't help but think of Gu Jingyi from her previous life.
Disfigured, lame...
He really lost half his life.
In his previous life, Lu Shan never came to the clinic to see him.
So, in her past life, Lu Shan sacrificed herself for Gu Jingyi?
Bai Zhi's feelings also became complicated at this moment.
When Lu Shan said that Gu Jingyi was alive, she was obviously just trying to comfort her.
But she could tell that Lu Shan truly had feelings for Gu Jingyi. If Gu Jingyi didn't come back, Lu Shan probably wouldn't date anyone else in her life.
As a woman herself, she felt sorry for Lu Shan.
Even if we have to wait, at least we should have something to look forward to.
Bai Zhi's words did offer Lu Shan some comfort.
But it wasn't enough to completely ease her emotions.
"Dr. Lu, the fact that we haven't heard from Comrade Gu yet might actually be good news?"
Lu Shan looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Hmm? Good news?"
Bai Zhi leaned closer to her and whispered mysteriously, "Think about the nature of his profession. Could it be that he was doing some kind of work that needs to be kept secret? If something really happened to him, the news would have come back long ago. How could there be no information at all?"
After all, Gu Jingyi's profession was special, so Bai Zhi didn't dare to say much and could only subtly remind Lu Shan.
I hope she understands what I mean.
Of course, Lu Shan is a smart person, and she must have thought about the information that Lu Shan just reminded her of.
