Because of hospital regulations, she didn't say much, but she didn't miss a single thing about the conversation between Lin Xiaoxiao and the old lady next to her, which is how she learned that Lin Xiaoxiao was Su Li's student.
Chen Kang realized he had mistaken the person for someone else, and he had just scolded the person. He was about to stride to the ward, but after taking two steps, he stopped.
He just criticized someone, and now he's going to apologize? Doesn't that seem a bit too forced? Wouldn't it seem more natural to explain during the inspection?
That's what I was thinking, but my legs had already moved on their own.
When he arrived at Su Li's ward, he found that Lin Xiaoxiao was not there. He sighed and left in disappointment.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Su Li talked for a while, and then Su Li got sleepy. She took the opportunity to go to the toilet, took out a pretty hairband from her spatial storage, and found the nurse on duty.
When Lin Xiaoxiao came out, the nurse she saw was the same one who had just come with the doctor.
"Hello, nurse." Lin Xiaoxiao greeted her.
The nurse looked up and saw Lin Xiaoxiao. "It's you. What's wrong?"
"I see your hair is very well-maintained. Such beautiful black hair is just too beautiful. I noticed you as soon as I arrived. You're cute, and your hair is a huge plus." Lin Xiaoxiao deliberately tried to get closer to her.
The young nurse was overjoyed to be praised by such a beautiful woman. She started chatting with Lin Xiaoxiao in a corner, and the two quickly became closer.
There was no way around it; China is a society based on personal connections. She didn't like it, but for the sake of convenience, she had to follow that system. If she followed the rules written on the wall, things would get stuck, with one procedure after another, making things quite difficult.
However, when getting things done, knowing someone you know can make a huge difference in efficiency.
After handing over the pretty headband, Lin Xiaoxiao expressed her needs: "Nurse, I'd like to ask if there are any beds available for accompanying persons or extra beds at night so that the person accompanying them can rest?"
The nurse immediately understood. "You're asking this to your teacher?"
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "That's right. If the caregiver doesn't get enough rest, it will also affect the patient's condition. Both of them are getting on in years..."
The young nurse seemed to really like Lin Xiaoxiao. Not only was she very thoughtful, but she also kept praising her and even gave her such a beautiful headband. She had never seen this style of headband before at the supply and marketing cooperative. Wearing it out would definitely attract a lot of attention.
She immediately took Lin Xiaoxiao to the next ward, which had only one patient and two empty beds.
The nurse pointed to two beds and whispered in Lin Xiaoxiao's ear, "You can sleep in either of these beds, just make sure they're tidied up during tomorrow's shift change."
These days, there are few hospitalized people, and no one patrols or monitors the area. It's not a big deal to let someone you know stay in an empty bed, provided that it's not dirty and you don't eat there or do anything like that.
Lin Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with what she saw and thanked the nurse repeatedly.
"You're welcome. This headband is so pretty. Did you make it yourself?" The nurse couldn't help but take out the bright red headband and look at it again.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "To tell you the truth, when I was a sent-down youth in Heilongjiang Province, there was a small workshop in the brigade that made clothes and hair accessories. This headband was made in our area."
"Not just headbands, but also clothes, hair ties, handkerchiefs, and many other beautiful styles."
“These headbands are very popular where we live. Not only do supply and marketing cooperatives ask us for them, but even department stores sell our products.”
Lin Xiaoxiao gave a brief explanation of the situation.
When asked, she had to say that if she publicized it, she might be able to make a name for herself in Beijing. Even if not, it would make the nurses happy, showing them that what she had was unique in Beijing.
While the teacher is hospitalized these past few days, I might be able to do something to help.
Sure enough, the nurse was even happier to hear this. This headband was even sold in department stores. Department stores sell good and high-end things. She instantly felt that Lin Xiaoxiao was a generous and sincere person.
After settling Zhang Feng's accommodations for the night, Lin Xiaoxiao returned to Su Li's room.
Su Li was still sleeping, so Lin Xiaoxiao tidied up the mess on the cabinet and took out a book to read for a while.
Time flew by, and it was already getting dark. Su Li woke up, and the teacher and student talked for a while before Lin Xiaoxiao went to the state-run restaurant to pack up her food.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped outside, he caught a glimpse of a white figure following behind him out of the corner of his eye. "Comrade, wait a moment."
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced over and raised an eyebrow. The man was very handsome. Yes, very handsome. Unlike Han Qiushi's masculine good looks, this male doctor was delicate and beautiful.
Upon closer inspection, the man's figure looked somewhat familiar; it was the young male doctor from before. "Um? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's nothing, it's just... I was a bit too harsh just now."
"I thought you were Teacher Su's child. I apologize to you." Chen Kang walked up to Lin Xiaoxiao, and it seemed as if he could smell a pleasant fragrance.
Looking up, he saw Lin Xiaoxiao's delicate features and porcelain-white, healthy skin, and he felt inexplicably nervous.
He had met many beautiful girls, but a beautiful woman with such spirit and resolute eyes was rare in this era.
Lin Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, and then smiled: "Oh, I see. The teacher just explained to me that you are a kind person, but I didn't take it to heart. In fact, I should thank you."
Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Chen Kang breathed a sigh of relief. "No...no need. Teachers who educate and nurture should not be treated like this." Chen Kang spoke very softly, but it was enough for Lin Xiaoxiao to hear him.
"Doctor, thank you. If I may be so bold as to say this, it is good to have a kind heart, but too much rigidity can lead to ruin." In this era, doctors were not as respected as they are in later generations. If they said the wrong thing, they could easily ruin themselves.
If he encounters someone like Lin Xiaoxiao who is understanding, that's fine. But if he encounters someone petty, the outcome is unpredictable. Lin Xiaoxiao only mentioned it because he paid for Su Li's surgery. If it were someone else, she wouldn't bother with it.
This time, Chen Kang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up as he looked at Lin Xiaoxiao. "You're right, I'm prone to impulsiveness. Thank you for your thoughtful reminder."
"Are you going to get food? Teacher Su should eat more meat these days..." After chatting for a while, the distance between the two gradually closed.
Lin Xiaoxiao also wanted to listen to the doctor's advice, so she didn't rush to create distance between them.
Good-looking men and women standing together attract a lot of attention. Many people in the hospital know Chen Kang and have been secretly gossiping about whether Lin Xiaoxiao is Dr. Chen's girlfriend. They think the people pursuing Dr. Chen are not good, but this girl is a good match for Dr. Chen.
This might be pleasing to the eye in other people's eyes, but it was glaringly obvious to Han Qiushi.
