When the call came, Li Ming answered it almost immediately.
"Hello, who is this?" Li Ming's loud voice came through the receiver, and it was obvious that he didn't have her phone number saved.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't care, after all, they were not very familiar with each other.
"Brother Li Ming, it's me, Lin Jiaojiao."
After Lin Jiaojiao finished speaking, Li Ming suddenly became quiet. No one knew what he was busy with.
Lin Jiaojiao looked puzzled. Why did she feel that everyone was acting strangely today?
Could it be that the store has been under too much pressure recently?
"Brother Li Ming, are you listening?" Lin Jiaojiao continued.
There was chaos on Li Ming's side, and there was even a sound like porcelain falling to the ground.
"Brother Li Ming, did I... disturb you?" Lin Jiaojiao asked softly.
Did he have a fight with his girlfriend? That phone call from her was really sinful.
Just when Lin Jiaojiao was considering whether to hang up the phone, Li Ming spoke.
"Ah... no need to bother you, Lin Jiaojiao, it's you. Sorry I didn't save your number. What's going on?"
Lin Jiaojiao thought for a moment and slowly said, "Do you know what happened to Brother Wei these past two days? Is he in good health?"
Li Ming heard this, his voice revealing confusion, "Everything was fine when he was at work today, why are you asking?"
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and continued, "Oh, by the way, his voice sounded a little strange today, as if he was getting angry."
"Oh, I see. Thank you, Brother Li Ming." Lin Jiaojiao said.
"It's okay, it's nothing, there's no need to thank me." Li Ming said, and suddenly laughed mischievously and groaned, then teased: "I know you two have a good relationship, but Wei Chao is really fine, don't worry."
"Also, don't let your imagination run wild as a little girl."
Lin Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I see. Thank you, Brother Li Ming. You should get some rest early."
Li Ming: "You're being polite again, okay? I'm hanging up."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiaojiao stared out the window in a trance. Li Ming had been with Brother Wei the whole day, and he said he was fine, so Brother Wei must be fine.
Is she too sensitive? Maybe Brother Wei is just tired today.

In the ward
Li Ming hung up the phone and was now cleaning up the mess like a hard-working little bee.
I was so excited that I accidentally broke the cup.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..." Li Ming muttered softly, sweeping with a broom in his hand, like a sweeping monk chanting sutras.
"Wei Chao, you're so unlucky this time. You hired a part-time intern, and you hired a psychopath. He was so emotional, and the situation was really out of control. Fortunately, there were so many of us. The customers at that table were also really unlucky. No, it should be said that the customers were just as unlucky as you. Let me tell you..."
Wei Chao's ears were almost callused from hearing Li Ming's words, because Li Ming had said this many times today.
It happened on Sunday. A new part-time employee accidentally spilled coffee on a customer. Before the customer could hold him accountable, the employee started arguing with the store. After some mediation, the store compensated the customer, the employee admitted his mistake, and the matter was over.
But today the new employee offended another table of guests. They were trying hard to mediate when the employee suddenly became ill, picked up tools and started indiscriminately attacking. Fortunately, there were many people around at the time.
He really regretted not firing the new employee as soon as the incident happened on Sunday.
But it’s okay, he was the only one with a more serious injury, and he got into trouble today because of work, so he doesn’t have to spend money on medical treatment himself.
And his injuries were not serious, he just bled a lot, which looked scary.
Fortunately, the customer was fine, otherwise the whole store would be in trouble and he would probably lose his job.
Wei Chao came back to his senses, and Li Ming was still chattering...
Wei Chao half leaned against the bed, holding his forehead, staring at Li Ming, and suddenly asked, "Li Ming, are you thirsty?"
Li Ming looked up in confusion, thinking that Wei Chao was simply concerned about him. He felt warm in his heart, thinking that it was worth it for him to come and take care of him so late at night.
"I'm indeed a little thirsty, but you're injured, I can do it myself." Li Ming said, put down the broom, sat next to Wei Chao, picked up the water and drank it without hesitation.
After all, he was the one who bought the purified water.
When others visit patients, they buy them fruits, but he buys purified water and gives them a cup as a gift, and the cup even breaks. He is really different!
"Wei Chao, why didn't you tell Lin Jiaojiao that you were in the hospital?" Li Ming drank half a bottle, then closed the bottle cap, leaned on the bedside table with one hand, and asked curiously.
Wei Chao is such a fool. He doesn't even know how to use such a ready-made self-torture trick. He relies on his own slow hints. How can he ever catch her? He is really a hopeless child.
The main reason is that he is not proactive yet!
He just received a call from Lin Jiaojiao. He was about to blurt out the answer, but was silently interrupted by Wei Chao. Otherwise, how could the cup be broken?
What a waste...
Wei Chao twirled the orange in his hand and said, "If I told her, Jiaojiao would definitely come over given her personality. It's not safe for a girl to take a taxi here so late at night."
Li Ming nodded, agreeing with this point. "Indeed, pretty girls should avoid crowded places at night. You should always be on guard against others!"
"But that's not right. You can ask her to come over tomorrow."
As he spoke, seeing that Wei Chao didn't say anything, he chuckled twice and whispered, "Wei Chao, why didn't I realize that Lin Jiaojiao spoke so sweetly before? She always called me Brother Li Ming and was quite polite."
