Chapter 8 Can I treat Dr. Xu to dinner tonight? Xiao Zhier...
Xiao Zhier waited outside until the classmate in charge sent him a message saying that two programs were over before he dared to go back.
After all, Xu Ze followed him out. When the two of them ran away, they were not conspicuous because of the exploding little mermaid on the stage which attracted everyone's attention. But if Xu Ze were to go back alone at this time, Xiao Zhier said that he would feel guilty.
He thought about it and finally decided to take Xu Ze to the backstage and put him back into the parents' team after the party.
Anyway, Xu Censheng also participated in the performance, so it was reasonable for Xiao Zhier to bring the parents of the participating classmates to visit the class.
After Xiao Zhier forced himself to justify himself, he confidently took Xu Ze around to the side door of the conference hall and went straight to the backstage.
There are many backstage performers and staff, but no matter what, Xiao Zhier's class must be the most conspicuous.
Because they have a handmade rockery.
Even at this time, the fat mermaid was half lying on the rockery and letting students from other programs take photos with him.
Xiao Zhier looked at his enthusiastic classmates, then he silently lowered his head, opened his social account and searched it. Looking at the term that had soared to the third place in the hot search, he felt suffocated.
Xiao Zhier sighed deeply, looked up at the fat mermaid in his class and was about to say something, but suddenly his pupils shrank slightly: "Be careful!"
Xu Ze was originally leaning close to Xiao Zhier and saw the hot search terms on his mobile phone. The young man couldn't help laughing, but the person next to him suddenly yelled and ran out like an arrow!
The sound of collapse was deafening. Xu Ze turned around in panic and saw that the handmade rockery had collapsed. Dust and paper pieces were flying everywhere. Xu Ze felt a chill in his heart and he rushed over uncontrollably.
"cough……"
Kneeling in the ruins, Xiao Zhier felt a sharp pain in his body. His head was covered in sweat. The sweat mixed with the dust, making Xiao Zhier's face gray and white, like a cat curled up in the ruins.
In a trance, Xiao Zhier couldn't even tell where on his body the pain was more intense.
"Xiao Zhier!"
A familiar voice sounded beside his ears, and Xiao Zhier took a deep breath. Before he could say anything, the man had already half-knelt beside him, lifted up the props that had fallen from both sides and pressed on Xiao Zhier's back, and raised his hand to lightly support his shoulder: "Don't move, I'll handle it, don't move!"
Xiao Zhier realized belatedly that it was Xu Ze who came.
Xu Ze frowned. He quickly observed the fat mermaid who had half of his body pressed on Xiao Zhier's arm. After not seeing any obvious external injuries, he raised his hand and patted his buttocks: "Does it hurt anywhere? Can you get up by yourself?"
The fat mermaid also fell hard and was dizzy. Fortunately, he was blocked by the decorative relief on the wall when he fell. This gave Xiao Zhier the opportunity to rush over and catch him. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured with his mermaid tail.
He came back to his senses when he heard Xu Ze's voice: "I'm fine!"
The classmates around also gathered around and everyone worked together to help the fat mermaid up. Although the fat boy looked careless, he was only an eighteen-year-old child after all. He looked down and saw that his fish tail was stained with blood, and he panicked.
The little fat boy's voice was filled with tears: "I'm not hurt, come and see my teacher!"
Xu Ze didn't say anything else. He took the tissue that a classmate had found and simply cleaned the blood on Xiao Zhier's arm. He didn't dare to move him rashly. Instead, he squatted beside him and gently pressed Xiao Zhier's waist and legs.
He was so anxious that he was fuming, but his face was exceptionally calm. Xu Ze's voice was soft and soothing: "Brother Xiao, don't be afraid. Tell me where it hurts? Does it hurt where I press?"
Hearing Xu Ze's voice, Xiao Zhier suddenly felt severe pain all over his body, so painful that his eyes were unconsciously filled with tears.
Don't panic, absolutely don't panic at this time.
Xiao Zhier closed his eyes and tried hard to suppress the panic that was welling up in his heart. After a few seconds, he felt that the feeling as if his whole body was in pain was gradually fading away, and he truly felt the sharp pain in his arm.
Xiao Zhier took a breath, his voice trembling a little: "Xu Ze, my left arm hurts a little..."
In order to prevent the props from collapsing under the weight of the fat mermaid, the prop team made a metal bracket inside during the production. However, perhaps because of the fat mermaid's struggle the day before, the metal strips that the students had fixed themselves had become loose, and it finally collapsed.
Xu Ze looked at the piece of metal bar stuck in Xiao Zhier's arm. The sharp edge was about one centimeter long and almost all of it was pressed into the flesh of Xiao Zhier's arm. Blood was oozing out, and it looked particularly hideous.
He pursed his lips gently, and after confirming that Xiao Zhier had no other serious injuries, he helped Xiao Zhier up with the help of his nephew: "It's okay, I'll take you to get it treated, it's not a serious matter, don't be afraid."
Xu Ze simply wrapped Xiao Zhier's elbow with his coat, deliberately covering his bloody forearm.
Xiao Zhier noticed Xu Ze's thoughtfulness, and his slightly pale lips curled slightly. Xiao Zhier gently patted the fat mermaid's shoulder to indicate that he was fine. He called Xu Censheng over and gave him a few words of advice, then was half-hugged and half-carried by Xu Ze and walked out through the side door.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhier's car was parked not far from the conference hall. The two got in the car in a few minutes and were driven to Shaocheng Hospital by Xu Ze.
As the car drove out of the campus, Xiao Zhier's hands couldn't stop shaking. He tilted his head to look at Xu Ze, and after a long while he managed a smile: "Thank you, Doctor Xu, for being out on duty today."
Xu Ze pursed his lips tightly. He didn't say anything until he saw the traffic light at the intersection turned red. Xu Ze drove the car slowly to a stop. Then he turned to look at Xiao Zhier: "It's too dangerous for you to rush over like this."
Xiao Zhier still had tears in his eyes, but he smiled at Xu Ze: "It's better for me to be injured than for my students to be injured. You know that these little brats are very fragile..."
He looked into Xu Ze's eyes, and as he spoke, his voice gradually became lower.
Xiao Zhier himself knew that it was actually quite dangerous for him to pounce like this. Xiao Zhier actually had no idea how the skeleton in the prop was made. In addition, with the weight of the fat mermaid classmate, if he landed in the wrong place, Xiao Zhier could easily have his bones cut and suffer serious injuries.
Xiao Zhier actually knew it all.
But he still did it. After all, they were his students, and Xiao Zhier had the responsibility to protect their safety.
Xu Ze also understood Xiao Zhier's thoughts, and because he understood, Xu Ze was particularly irritable.
After all, this incident was just an accident. Xiao Zhier did nothing wrong in wanting to protect his students, and the fat mermaid was just a little bit of a show-off, so it wasn't her fault. The students in the props group had already used more metal accessories to reinforce the equipment for safety reasons, so it naturally couldn't be their fault.
Ultimately, it was just an accident.
Xiao Zhier bit his lower lip hard, suppressed the anger surging in his chest, and said in a low voice: "Next time, don't do this again."
Xu Ze looked at Xiao Zhier seriously: "Even if you don't consider yourself, you should always think about Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Ling. The elderly are old and can't stand the stimulation."
Xu Ze's words accurately hit Xiao Zhier's soft spot. Xiao Zhier lowered his eyes to look at his arm. The environment did not allow it, so Xu Ze did not take out the metal strip. At this time, the thing was still stuck in his flesh. Bright blood slowly but continuously seeped out from the wound, dyeing Xiao Zhier's clothes red and soaking the coat Xu Ze wrapped around Xiao Zhier's arm.
Yes, Ms. Ling Chunhua is afraid of blood. If she saw herself in this bloody and miserable state, she would probably faint.
Xiao Zhier thought so, he looked at Xu Ze: "I know, I won't be so impulsive next time, but I would like to trouble you to keep it a secret for me, don't tell my grandparents."
There was a hint of pleading in his eyes, which made Xu Ze's heart soften.
The young man was silent for a moment.
Xiao Zhier saw that the traffic light at the intersection had turned green and the car was moving slowly. There was a hint of coquettishness in his voice: "Please, keep it a secret for me, okay?"
Xu Ze sighed softly, and he turned the car and drove into Shaocheng Hospital: "You go home every day, how can you hide such an injury?"
Seeing Xu Ze had given in, Xiao Zhier breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, I rented a house outside. I'll call my grandparents later and tell them that I'm going out with friends during the holiday and won't be back."
It's a coincidence that Xiao Zhier decided to rent a house near the school last week, but he hasn't finalized it yet. He has been picking and choosing for several days and just signed the contract yesterday.
He had originally planned to go home every day, but it had only been a month since the start of the school year and four accidents had already happened to students in Xiao Zhier's class. His home was far away and if he encountered rush hour traffic during his repeated commutes, Xiao Zhier would waste two or three hours on the road, which really exhausted him both physically and mentally.
Although the school also has dormitories for teachers, they are mainly provided to teachers from other places, and they must be applied for in advance. Xiao Zhier is a local and his family is relatively wealthy, so of course he cannot compete with teachers whose families are from other places for these places.
Xiao Zhier originally wanted to take advantage of this holiday to tidy up the house, but just when he had almost finished moving things, something went wrong today.
But fortunately, he asked his friends to help move things after signing the contract yesterday. Otherwise, given Xiao Zhier's current condition, he wouldn't even dare to enter the house.
Xiao Zhier even felt a little fortunate.
As he was daydreaming, his thoughts wandered when he felt a chill on his arm, which had been numb from the pain.
Xiao Zhier looked down and found that he had been taken by Xu Ze into a small operating room next to the emergency room. The handsome and cold-looking Doctor Xu was applying iodine to his arm with a stern face.
Xu Ze's movements were already very gentle, but they would still affect Xiao Zhier's wound from time to time. Xiao Zhier took a deep breath, and his intact hand subconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes.
Xu Ze's hands were extremely steady. He completed the disinfection meticulously. Only after he gave Xiao Zhier a local anesthesia did he feel like talking to him: "You owe me another favor."
The anesthetic gradually took effect, and Xiao Zhier only felt that the sharp pain in his arm gradually turned into a dull pain, and the throbbing pain from the flesh became numb and slight. He knew that the metal strip should be taken out later. Xu Ze spoke to him because he was afraid that he would be too nervous.
Xiao Zhier was really a little scared. He had always been spoiled by his family. The most serious injury he had ever suffered was probably the bloody hole he got bitten by a stray cat when he was a child.
At that time, Xiao Zhier cried so hard that he almost fainted, and this time the wound was much more serious.
Xiao Zhier's expression was a little stiff. He looked at Xu Ze's face and said in a trembling voice, "How about I treat Dr. Xu to dinner tonight?"
