Su Niannian was so frightened that she sat up with a jerk. Fubao, who was sleeping next to her, was woken up and put his little hand towards her as if he was familiar with the place.
The surroundings were cold, without the nostalgic warmth of the past, which made the nightmare just now seem so real. For a moment, Su Niannian wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, lost all sleepiness, and kept her eyes open until dawn.
When the first trace of dawn appeared in the sky, Su Niannian asked Wang Guifen to keep an eye on the sleeping Fubao, while she slowly walked downstairs and called Liao Yu who was far away in the imperial capital.
There were so many things Su Niannian wanted to confirm across the cold telephone line.
"Excuse me, is this the dormitory of the dance team of the art troupe? I want to find Liao Yu from the first team. Yes, Comrade Liao Yu who has just been transferred. Could you please pass the message for me?" Su Niannian did not hang up the phone, but just waited quietly. After a pin drop silence on the phone, footsteps were soon heard.
"Hello, is it Nian Nian?"
"Captain, it's me. I want to ask you something."
"you say."
"Regarding the doctor Liao you introduced, I have already taken my brother to see him. The time for the operation has been arranged, but I am always a little nervous. How are his skills?" Su Niannian knew that it was impolite to ask this question, but for the sake of her brother, she was willing to give it a try. Fortunately, Liao Yu didn't care about these little things and laughed out loud on the other end of the phone.
"Don't worry. My second uncle has good skills and a good reputation. He has performed no less than a hundred similar surgeries. Of course, more importantly, he is the best person to me. Unlike other members of the Liao family, he and my mother have almost no communication. Otherwise, I would not introduce him to you. No problem, you can rest assured. I am waiting for good news from Brother Su."
With Liao Yu's reassurance, Su Niannian's mood stabilized a lot.
Maybe she was just willful, harassing Liao Yu because of a ridiculous dream. Thinking about it carefully, the other party might have just woken up and was still doing morning training. Su Niannian felt guilty and she clumsily changed the subject: "That's good. By the way, how is your mother? Has she gone to the capital to look for you..."
Liao Yu's voice was inexplicably lighter: "Not yet, but Captain Gao said that if my mother dared to come to the art troupe to cause trouble, she would make sure she made the other party pay for it."
Gao Shanyue is not Jiang Xiaofei, and the imperial capital is the other party's territory. No one can act wildly here. It can be seen that the two have a good relationship, which is not a bad thing for Gao Shanyue.
Su Niannian felt relieved and a smile reappeared on her face. She then talked to Liao Yu about other things, and the fear in her heart gradually faded away.
…
The Su siblings asked for leave early in the morning and booked a time before and after the operation.
Wang Guifen even asked Su Zhaodi to come from the mine to help take care of the baby, while she followed Su Niannian to the provincial capital to take care of Su Jianshan. Everything was arranged early in the morning, including the time. After Su Niannian arrived at the hospital, the first thing she did was to arrange for her brother to be admitted to the hospital. Then, she went to the office to find Dr. Liao. For some reason, when he saw the brother and sister coming, Dr. Liao's face looked inexplicably ugly.
Su Niannian handed him the prepared report.
"Doctor Liao, I'm sorry to bother you with my brother's matter."
"It's not a problem. This is what we should do." Liao Huaimin pushed his glasses and didn't even look at Su Niannian. He only told them that the operation would be done the next morning.
They were destined to stay in the hospital tonight. Su Niannian was busy running around and took the opportunity to call Gu Zhiye to inform him of Su Jianshan's surgery time. After the couple finished talking, Su Niannian slowly returned to the ward. Su Jianshan had already slept obediently on the floor.
Seeing his sister coming in, he smiled and said, "Sister, you and grandma sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor."
"..."
At Su Niannian's insistence, Su Jianshan slept in the next bed to keep himself awake. The two of them huddled together. Wang Guifen was very satisfied and said with a smile, "After your brother has the surgery, we can finally get rid of him. I have prepared some of the gifts. I just hope that the Shanyue family won't dislike him too much. Although this child is stupid, he is kind-hearted."
Su Niannian nodded, and in response to them, Su Jianshan's snoring became louder and louder. The other person's head drooped and he had already fallen into a deep sleep.
The next day.
Wang Guifen went to the hospital cafeteria to buy breakfast, which was scallion noodles. The brother and sister enjoyed the meal happily.
Watching her brother being pushed into the operating room, Su Niannian felt inexplicably uneasy as she couldn't see the look in Dr. Liao's eyes behind his glasses for some reason. She was about to ask a few more questions, but saw Liao Huaimin quickly walk into the operating room as if evading, and it seemed that he didn't want to talk much with the family members.
Compared with the enthusiastic attitude last time, the other party seemed like a different person, which made Su Niannian frown. She couldn't stand outside the operating room as calmly as Wang Guifen, so she could only pace back and forth anxiously.
Eventually, this emotion made Wang Guifen uneasy, and she said helplessly, "Good boy, stop turning around. Grandma is dizzy. If you really can't take it anymore, go out for a walk."
Su Niannian said "Oh" softly, thinking about it, it was indeed true.
She simply walked out, but when she passed by Dr. Liao's office, her eyes suddenly trembled. If she saw it right, the middle-aged woman who entered the other's office was actually He Guihua? !
Didn't they say that these two people had no contact at all and their relationship was distant? !
Why did He Guihua sneak into Dr. Liao's office for no reason? Su Niannian's eyelids jumped heavily. She reflexively grabbed the passing nurse and asked, "Hello, comrade! I want to ask, isn't Dr. Liao in the operating room?! Why, does he have to see other patients?"
Su Niannian pointed at the other party’s open office door.
The masked nurse took a quick glance and said, "That's not a patient, it's a relative of Dr. Liao's family."
Facing Su Niannian's shocked eyes, the nurse said, "He has been coming here so often recently that I'm familiar with him."
While the two were talking, He Guihua had already picked up the cloth bag and headed for the corridor outside. What did it mean that she came here so often during this period?! Did it mean that she had a good relationship with Dr. Liao?
When facing danger, Su Niannian always has a strong intuition. She feels that their excessive intimacy is not a good thing. That time in the art troupe, she had completely offended He Guihua. She really wanted to ask about the other party's real purpose of coming to the hospital, whether it was to find fault or pretend to meet by chance. She wanted to observe He Guihua's attitude towards her.
This is used to test the other party's purpose.
After making up her mind, Su Niannian raised her foot and ran towards the other person, but before she could catch up, someone suddenly grabbed her collar from behind, and a smiling voice appeared behind her.
"What do you call this?! Are we destined to meet each other? Comrade Su Niannian..."
