Qian Lai deftly propped up the pillow and gently patted it: "Come on, lie down on top of me."
Just now, when she said "patient's family member," Qiao Muting felt a secret thrill, but he tried his best to suppress the smirk on his face.
Standing to the side, Zhu Yong knew that he was the most superfluous presence in this beautiful scene.
My mind raced, and I finally found a suitable reason.
"Hey, Joe. I'm worried about those two kids, I need to go to the police station to check on them."
Qiao Muting then remembered the important matter: "There may still be some of Liu's second son's men who have escaped the net."
"Old Zhu, we need to get the police to round them up as soon as possible. Otherwise, Liu Shifan's wife and..." He glanced at the man in front of him, "will not be safe."
"Yes, we can't have peace of mind as long as they're not safe. Don't worry about getting better, Joe, leave everything to me."
After Zhu Yong finished speaking, he rushed out of the room.
At this time, the patient in the next bed had not yet returned, leaving only Qiao Muting and Qian Lai in the room.
The air seemed to freeze instantly, and the room was so quiet it was almost unbearable.
Outside the window, cicadas, seemingly oblivious, sang their irritating "songs," somewhat alleviating the awkwardness brought on by the stillness.
Suddenly, the ward door was pushed open without warning, and a nurse rushed in, shouting, "Bed number two is getting an IV drip."
Get an IV drip!
She had to protect him from all contact with women.
Qian Lai panicked a little: "Can I do it?"
The young nurse looked her up and down, then asked incredulously, "You can do that?"
"I'll give it a try."
"That's settled then. You'll be responsible for any consequences that arise." She looked at Qiao Muting on the hospital bed.
The other person nodded with a relieved expression: "Okay! Let her give it a try."
The nurse said: "These two are really blinded by love."
One of them was truly daring, and the other was truly daring to let her do it!
Qian Lai skillfully tightened the tourniquet, then gently patted the back of his hand twice, and the blue veins quickly became clearly visible.
Immediately, disinfection, injection, advancement, blood return, and needle removal were all completed in a few seconds.
Qiao Muting was so focused on her intent expression that he didn't even feel a bit of pain as the pressure band on his hand was removed.
"Nurse, is this alright?"
Is that okay?
This is comparable to my own technique.
The nurse swallowed hard and said aloofly, "Keep an eye on it, call me when it's finished." Then she turned and left.
"You can do this too?" Qiao Muting was once again impressed by this girl.
“When I was in the countryside, I participated in a rescue team. I learned from the doctor in our village.”
She made up a story, and Qiao Muting just smiled and accepted it without a shred of doubt.
"Thank you so much for today. I'm so grateful you arrived in time. Otherwise, I really don't know what would have happened."
Even now, Qian Lai is still shaken by the experience.
"You're here today, also to protect Jiang Yunshu?"
A hint of disappointment flashed in Qiao Muting's eyes as he thought about what had happened that morning.
He came here specifically to see her.
In the afternoon, under the guise of handling the patient transfer at the People's Hospital, the real purpose was to go to the newspaper office to wait for her.
He knew that today was the day she was due to submit her manuscript.
The last time we ate at the state-run restaurant, I heard her mention to Hua Cheng that she would come to see Hua Rui on the next deadline for submitting her manuscript.
So, he came here to try his luck.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as I parked the car, I saw a familiar figure seemingly drifting through the alley in the distance.
He didn't pay any attention and walked straight into the newspaper office lobby.
Upon asking, it turned out that the familiar figure was indeed the one who had just left.
He then took off after him, his long legs giving way.
However, we were still a little late.
"You came to return my things this morning, why didn't you come up?" He didn't answer Qian Lai's question directly, his tone was extremely gentle, but with a hint of pitifulness.
Qian Lai looked up at him. She had been avoiding seeing him and thinking about him for the past few days, as if she had no interest in doing anything.
My heart aches unbearably.
This feeling might have been similar to having a crush on a school heartthrob during one's youth, but it wasn't particularly profound.
This experience was incredibly painful.
"I didn't have time this morning. I happened to run into your colleague, so I asked her to help me out."
"I thought you never wanted to see me again."
"How could that be? We're still friends."
Qiao Muting hesitated, wondering whether he should ask her that question.
He paused for a moment, his Adam's apple bobbing, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why can't I like you?"
Qiao Muting looked at the girl in front of him with sincere affection and expectation, waiting for her response as if he were waiting for a verdict.
He was so direct!
"Have some water!" Qian Lai didn't dare look him in the eye, so she changed the subject, and her subordinates frantically started looking for a water glass.
No!
"I'll go downstairs and buy you some soda. It's too hot."
She turned to leave, but Qiao Muting grabbed her hand.
"I'm not thirsty."
No, you need to drink more water.
Qian Lai broke free from his large hand and ran out of the room in a panic.
She needed some time to sort out her thoughts.
She wasn't oblivious to the tenderness in Qiao Muting's eyes.
The implication he was making was somewhat frightening to her.
If all else fails, just talk to him and make things clear.
But she didn't want to see him sad and disappointed.
Seeing his disappointment now makes her feel so sorry for him.
Where did the young lady who used to remain unmoved even when men knelt at her feet go?
