Shao Jingque covered her face and ran all the way to the terrace where she had hidden and cried on the first day. She squatted in the corner and burst into tears.
At this moment, she felt unprecedented powerlessness. She didn't know why she insisted on doing so, nor did she know whether her insistence was right or wrong.
She cried so hard that she was almost suffocating. Tears of grievance kept pouring out like a valve that couldn't be closed. Her heart felt like it was being gripped by a big hand and it hurt so much that she could hardly breathe. Her mind couldn't help but recall every hurtful word Lu Zhan had said. Every time she recalled it, her chest felt like it was stabbed by something. The sadness in her chest was so heavy that she couldn't breathe.
At this moment, she just wanted to hide in this deserted corner and relax. Sadness, embarrassment, confusion, self-doubt...all kinds of emotions wrapped around her, making it impossible for her to think and make decisions rationally.
An embroidered handkerchief suddenly appeared before her eyes out of thin air——
Shao Jingque looked up suddenly in shock, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't see who was coming, but she heard a strange female voice saying with concern:
"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying so hard? Is something wrong?"
She didn't expect that she would be seen crying even if she hid away. Shao Jingque quickly wiped away the tears in front of her eyes with her hands, only to find that it was a nurse standing in front of her.
She stood up somewhat embarrassedly, trying to force a smile on her face:
"It's nothing, I'm just a little stressed out, I just need to vent my emotions."
The nurse saw that she didn't take her handkerchief, pouted, and silently took her hand back, but her expression of concern did not diminish:
"Weren't you quite happy when I met you just now? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Did you have a fight with Chief Lu?"
Shao Jingque looked at the nurse in surprise. How did she know that she and Lu Zhan had quarreled?
And when I looked carefully, I found that this nurse was not a nurse in the intensive care unit at all. When had she seen me?
The nurse saw Shao Jingque looking at her in surprise, as if she didn't recognize her at all. She felt embarrassed and annoyed, so she could only patiently remind her:
"What? You forgot me so quickly? Didn't we just meet in the laboratory? My name is Chen Chunyan, and I'm a new nurse in the laboratory."
After hearing what she said, Shao Jingque remembered that he seemed to have met a new nurse in the laboratory just now.
But she was crying so hard at the moment that she couldn't even think of Chen Chunyan, whom she had only met once.
After being reminded, Shao Jingque nodded, looking apologetic:
"I remember now. I didn't recognize you just now. I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter. The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. You will remember it after seeing it a few times."
Chen Chunyan seemed very enthusiastic, but Shao Jingque really didn't want to chat with a nurse she just met. She was only thinking about finding a reason to leave.
At this time, Chen Chunyan spoke again:
"By the way, did you have an argument with Commander Lu? I was just passing through the corridor when I heard some loud noises coming from Ward 502."
Shao Jingque's face flushed. She had forgotten in her excitement that the hospital door wasn't soundproof. Fortunately, she hadn't started an argument with Lu Zhan right from the start. Otherwise, if Dr. Fan had heard what she said in anger later, wouldn't it have been even more embarrassing?!
Just as I was daydreaming, I suddenly noticed something strange in Chen Chunyan's words:
"Do you know Lu Zhan?"
Didn't she just report in today? Why did she keep calling him Chief Lu, as if she knew him very well?
Chen Chunyan nodded as a matter of course:
"I was transferred from the Anfeng Town Health Center. Chief Lu was in our town at the time providing disaster relief. If he hadn't led us all to the mountains, I'm afraid everyone in our town would have been drowned. In total, Chief Lu saved me twice!"
Then he said earnestly:
"Commander Lu is a great hero. He's seriously injured now because of us... ordinary people. Jingque, please be more patient and don't argue with him. Letting Commander Lu recover properly is the most important thing right now."
Hearing her say this, Shao Jingque's face turned even redder.
She didn't expect to have a quarrel in front of the people rescued by Lu Zhan. She just felt awkward:
"Okay, sorry to have made you worry. Don't worry, I will take good care of Lu Zhan. I'll go back first!"
She wanted to leave after she finished speaking, but unexpectedly Chen Chunyan grabbed her.
Shao Jingque turned around in surprise, only to see Chen Chunyan speaking to her in a low voice with a mysterious look on her face:
"Are you guys arguing because of Doctor Fan?"
Shao Jingque's eyes widened. Could it be that her voice was so loud that everything she said was clearly heard?
Chen Chunyan knew she was right when she saw her expression. She felt a surge of gloating in her heart, but said with a worried look on her face:
"When we were in the evacuation area, I felt that Doctor Fan must be interested in Chief Lu, but I didn't expect Chief Lu to have a family. Doctor Fan's behavior... Tsk, you really can't judge a person by his appearance!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue. Shao Jingque only felt a buzzing in his ears, and his mind suddenly went blank.
It was true that her argument with Lu Zhan just now involved Dr. Fan, but she was mainly angry at Lu Zhan, feeling that he was deliberately ignoring and avoiding her, and she didn't really think there was anything wrong with Dr. Fan.
But now, listening to what Chen Chunyan said, Doctor Fan was really concerned about Lu Zhan...
Seeing Shao Jingque's face turn pale, Chen Chunyan knew that what she said had worked, and continued to fan the flames:
"I can't stand any sand in my eyes. If I had known you earlier, I would have told you long ago. I wouldn't have let you foolishly watch Doctor Fan hanging around in front of Chief Lu every day."
"You might not know this, but we were trapped on the top of a mountain. Doctor Fan came to rescue us by helicopter. As soon as she got off the plane, she rushed straight to Commander Lu. We were all stunned. We thought it was Commander Lu's wife."
"She came and did nothing. Without saying a word, she went into Chief Lu's tent. The door curtain was closed. I don't know what she was doing there..."
“…”
Chen Chunyan kept talking, her hand still tightly grasping Shao Jingque's sleeve, fearing that Shao Jingque would leave before she finished listening.
When she heard the nurse from the laboratory department say that Shao Jingque was a relative of patient No. 502, she felt like the sky was falling.
If her opponent was Dr. Fan, she would still have the confidence to compete, but her opponent suddenly became Shao Jingque, who was so beautiful that even she was stunned by her beauty, so she felt that there was definitely no hope at all.
But the devastated Chen Chunyan refused to give up. She endured the humiliation and agreed to date the rude Liu Jincai. She had finally made it to the provincial military hospital and had just gotten close to Chief Lu. How could she give up now?!
