Chapter 2437 White Lies
When practicing medicine, Jiuyao wears a mask throughout the process, which not only prevents her from being recognized by acquaintances, but also saves her from unnecessary trouble.
Because Gu Hanye said that she had a face that made people fantasize.
I don’t know if it’s because she was wearing a mask, but no one came to harass her anymore.
Even male patients who come to see her are rare.
However, she never told Gu Hanye that she came to work in the clinic.
If she told him the truth, he might not disagree, but he would definitely be worried about her.
Jiuyao didn't want to make Gu Hanye more anxious, but she really wanted to do this job because the process of treating people could bring her a great sense of accomplishment and made her feel that her value was more than just being a housewife.
That's why Jiuyao applied for the job of doctor in this small clinic without telling Gu Hanye.
To prevent him from coming to the clinic and making trouble again, making her feel both amused and embarrassed.
This clinic is newly opened, not big, and is neatly decorated with a light aroma of Chinese medicine. As soon as you walk in, you feel as if you have experienced a kind of Zen, and your whole body becomes peaceful.
The colleagues are all nice. Everyone seems to be focused only on medicine and there is no intrigue, so Jiuyao likes working here very much.
It was another Monday. Jiuyao left her daughter with her father, sent Xiaoche to the art classroom, and hurried to the clinic.
She shared a clinic with another female doctor named Wang. Mrs. Wang was very welcoming, and Jiuyao affectionately called her Sister Wang.
As soon as she entered the clinic that day, Sister Wang told her that a boy had been waiting for her for a long time. He had been there since morning and had not eaten lunch. He was so hungry that he went to buy food and would probably be back soon.
Jiuyao put on a white coat and a mask and asked Sister Wang, what is the boy's name and is he here to see her for medical treatment?
Sister Wang smiled very ambiguously, "I don't know her name, but she said she knew you two years ago and had been looking for you ever since. She happened to find out you were working here, so she came to meet you."
Jiuyao couldn't figure out who it was. Since they weren't here to see a doctor, she didn't pay much attention. She tidied up her desk and prepared to start work.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Sister Wang smiled ambiguously again: "Hey, I'm here right now!"
Sister Wang then loudly said, "Come in." Jiuyao looked up and saw a big boy in a white T-shirt walking in.
The boy was quite tall and had a delicate appearance. He looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and he had a student-like look on his face. He must still be in school.
After looking at the boy for a few seconds, she still couldn't remember when she had ever treated him.
However, she has seen many patients, and except for some special cases, most of them did not leave any impression on her, so it was not surprising.
"Are you looking for me?" Jiuyao asked.
"Yes, are you free now?" The boy's eyes looked sincere and a little nervous.
Jiuyao nodded and said, "Please sit down." She pointed to the chair opposite her desk.
The boy sat in front of her with his hands on his knees, as if he was holding a student meeting.
Jiuyao straightened her back when she saw him sitting so straight. "What's the matter with you looking for me?"
The boy pursed his lips and glanced at Doctor Wang next to him, "Can I have a few words with you alone?"
Jiuyao was stunned. "Just say it here. I can't leave my post without permission."
This was of course an excuse. She just had a vague feeling that what the boy wanted to say to her might not be related to the disease. So there was no need for a private chat.
The boy didn't force it. He was silent for two seconds and said to Jiuyao, "My name is Yan Jin. Maybe you don't remember me, but two years ago, you treated me for stomach problems. I went to other hospitals at that time, but other doctors just prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs or stomach medicine and told me to pay attention to my diet. Only you discovered the cause of my illness, saying that I was under too much mental stress and had poor sleep, which led to my physical problems. You enlightened me and prescribed the right medicine for me. After I recovered from my illness, I always wanted to thank you in person, but later I found out that you no longer worked in that hospital."
After listening to him, Jiuyao smiled and said to him, "You're welcome. I'm a doctor. It's my duty to help you cure your illness."
"No, it's different. You didn't just cure my stomach. If you hadn't said those comforting words, I might... I might have... died. That's why I always remember you and have been looking for you for a long time..."
The boy's eyes were more sincere. Jiuyao smiled at him and said a few polite words to him, saying that he was not required to thank her and that it was just her job. Then she picked up the water cup and took a sip.
She thought that the boy had said everything he wanted to say and it was time for him to leave.
But the boy didn't leave and continued, "I...I like you very much. Can you be my girlfriend?"
Jiuyao almost spit out the water, but luckily she calmed herself down in time.
"Are you still in school?"
"Yes...but I will graduate!"
“…”
The boy's sincerity was so cute that it made her feel even more sorry, but what else could she say to a child?
I had to say gently: "Thank you for liking me, but I'm already married. The most important thing for you now is your studies. When you go to college, you will naturally meet..."
Before she finished, the boy said, "I took the college entrance examination in my freshman year of high school and was admitted to the university I wanted to attend. I'm already a sophomore this year."
Jiuyao nodded, oh, he is also a top student.
"Then you are very good." She said with a smile, as if that was all she could say.
"So you don't have to treat me like a child."
Jiuyao sighed: "But I have a lover and a child, so... I'm sorry."
The boy pursed his lips, as if he was depressed for a moment, but he quickly cheered up and said firmly, "It's okay. I will come to see you again after I graduate from college. By then, if you and your lover are still as happy as you are now, I will definitely not bother you again."
Jiuyao sighed helplessly and thought to herself, it would be better if this silly boy just talked about it and never came to her again.
Otherwise, with Gu Hanye's domineering nature, once he knew that this stupid boy wanted to steal his wife, beating him up might be the least of his worries.
The key is that it might also implicate her.
When Gu Hanye got jealous...it really made her legs go weak.
However, after the boy named Yan Jin finished speaking, he stood up from his chair and placed the paper bag on her desk: "This is for you. You must wait for me."
Jiuyao was just about to return it to him when he turned around and ran out of the clinic.
Sister Wang smiled and closed the door of the clinic. She said with emotion, "No wonder people say that as long as you take good care of yourself, your husband will pass the college entrance examination. It's really true! I'm so envious!"
Sister Wang loves to joke, and Jiuyao doesn't mind much, so she just smiles helplessly.
Then she opened the paper bag left by the boy. Inside was a bird-shaped night light. She pressed the switch and the fat bird emitted a warm orange light.
Jiuyao looked at the night light and couldn't help laughing.
The gift is not expensive and seems like something a child would give, but being liked by others is always a happy thing.
…
In the evening, Jiuyao packed up her things and prepared to pick up Xiaoche.
But after walking out of the clinic, he found that he had forgotten a medical book, so he turned back.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my office, I heard Sister Wang’s voice on the phone.
"Dean Gu, it's me. Today, a college student came to see Jiuyao..."
Jiuyao was stunned. Dean Gu?
She withdrew her hand from the door handle, stood in the corridor, and listened to the call quietly.
On the phone, Sister Wang told "Dean Gu" how the boy confessed his love to her and how she responded.
Then, Jiuyao figured out many things.
Why did I happen to see the recruitment notice of this clinic when I was looking for a job?
Why are there almost no men who come to see her for treatment?
Why did she come home late several times because there were many patients, and Gu Hanye didn't ask the reason.
Also, why have I never seen the legendary dean in more than two months of working here?
That’s because this clinic was opened by Gu Hanye!
And this warm and caring Sister Wang was actually entrusted by Gu Hanye...
Suddenly she felt like a fool, being kept in the dark by Gu Hanye, but for some reason, she was not angry at all this time.
Even couldn't help laughing.
She wanted to be a low-key doctor, so Gu Hanye opened a clinic for her in a low-key manner. Although he had people paying attention to her secretly, which seemed dishonest, except for helping her block most of the male patients, he respected her in everything else.
In this way, she was happy and he was relieved.
So rather than saying it's a deception, it's more like a white lie.
But it was really difficult for him to make her happy.
…
That night, Gu Hanye sent a message saying that he would work overtime until very late, and told Jiuyao not to wait for him and to go to bed if she was tired.
At nine o'clock, Jiuyao went to see Xiaoche, who was already fast asleep. She fed her daughter the last time before going to bed. After her daughter fell asleep in her arms, she put her little daughter in the small crib next to the big bed, and then went to bed and prepared to sleep.
I just lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
Thinking about the two months I worked in the clinic, and considering that this was Gu Hanye’s clinic, I felt a lot of emotions in my heart.
As a doctor, no matter how skilled you are, you cannot satisfy everyone and it is inevitable that you will encounter unreasonable patients.
She is not good at arguing with others, let alone quarreling. When she was seeing patients at the last Chinese medicine hospital, if she encountered unreasonable people, she would usually choose to remain silent, or say, "If you insist on saying that, I have nothing to say," and only thought of how to respond the next day.
Once I arrived at the clinic, the situation was very different.
Every time someone made trouble, there would be a colleague standing in front of her, either helping her to argue her case or directly fighting back. Sister Wang from the same clinic even took an unfair slap for her.
Rather than saying that Sister Wang is Gu Hanye's spy, it would be better to say that she is a bodyguard arranged by Gu Hanye to be by her side...
So when she knew the truth, she couldn't blame anyone at all, and she just felt warm in her heart.
It was Gu Hanye who helped her keep all the messy people and things out of the door, so that she could live like a princess in a fairy tale in this cruel real world...
Of course, Gu Hanye has concealed the truth from her for so long, so she can’t just let it go. She has to at least scare him.
Thinking about what she was going to say to Gu Hanye later, Jiuyao was even more looking forward to him coming home earlier.
But Gu Hanye never came back. She waited and waited, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
It was not until her daughter cried in the middle of the night that she suddenly woke up, hurried out of bed, walked to the crib, checked on her daughter, and found that it was time to change her diaper.
After I changed my daughter's diaper, I looked at the clock and it was already three o'clock in the morning.
And Gu Hanye hasn't come back yet...
