Kyoto City, Renhe Hospital.
Heavy snow fell from the sky, causing the temperature in Kyoto to drop by four or five degrees overnight.
Nurse Xiaoqing did not wear a nurse uniform today. She wrapped herself up like a round ball. Facing the snowflakes dancing in the sky, she held a small flower umbrella in one hand and the other hand firmly on her arms holding a thermos, and slowly "rolled" into the hospital.
It wasn't that Xiaoqing didn't want to walk faster, it was just that the weather was terrible. There was already a thin layer of ice on the ground, and if Xiaoqing walked too fast, she might fall. Tonight, Xiaoqing was bringing Dr. Yu a midnight snack.
Ever since they'd worked together to deal with Zhao Yunxiang, Xiaoqing and Doctor Yu's relationship had skyrocketed. In public, they were still just doctor and nurse, but when others weren't around, Doctor Yu was already calling Xiaoqing "dear."
Xiaoqing has been in a good mood these past few days. She's already 25, and because she's a bit overweight, she still doesn't have a boyfriend. Xiaoqing's parents are ordinary workers from Kyoto City. They've been sending her on blind dates since last year, and they're embarrassed that their daughter has been left without a boyfriend at this age.
Xiaoqing's looks were too ordinary: a round face, thin, arched eyebrows, and eyes so small they looked like they were squinting. Aside from her fair complexion, her appearance was the kind that wouldn't stand out in a crowd. Consequently, Xiaoqing's love life was always unsuccessful. Of the boys who were interested in her, Xiaoqing despised them for not having a Kyoto hukou, fearing they were using her as a springboard to move to Kyoto. Of the boys Xiaoqing was attracted to, nine out of ten despised her for her appearance, and the remaining one simply ignored her.
Dr. Yu was recruited from abroad by Director Hao of Renhe Hospital after he spent a lot of effort and offered a high salary. His status in Renhe Hospital is somewhat detached.
Dr. Yu is unmarried and doesn't have a girlfriend. Two months after he started at Renhe Hospital, he's already caused a stir. Unbeknownst to him, several nurses nearly broke their heads trying to get a job with him.
Xiaoqing failed to get the opportunity to work with Dr. Yu in the department, but Xiaoqing was lucky. Even though she stayed in the sparsely populated intensive care unit, Dr. Yu still appeared by Xiaoqing's side.
Dean Hao treated talented individuals with great favor. At Renhe Hospital, Dr. Yu had his own private laboratory. Even the dormitory he was assigned was top-tier, even larger than Zhao Qingshan's previous apartment, boasting four bedrooms and two living rooms spread over 120 square meters. Only three other experts in the entire hospital enjoyed such privileges. Even Dean Hao and his family of three were squeezed into a room of just over 90 square meters!
In recent years, with the increase in the number of doctors, Renhe Hospital built a new dormitory building next to the original dormitory building. Dr. Yu’s house is in the new building, just facing Zhao Qingshan’s house.
A dormitory building like this is a "luxury house" that Xiaoqing may never be able to own even if she works hard for her whole life.
Dr. Yu was interested in Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqing was determined to seize the opportunity. A young and promising doctor like Dr. Yu, even if a bit unattractive, was the perfect marriage partner for all the unmarried nurses in the hospital. Not to mention Dr. Yu's handsome appearance, which attracted scores of unmarried young women like moths to a flame.
These past few days, Dr. Yu and Xiaoqing's conversations have mostly focused on Zhou Yuanyuan, the "vegetative" patient. Dr. Yu felt deeply regretful after not being able to keep Zhou Yuanyuan hospitalized that day. Dr. Yu has questioned Xiaoqing countless times, meticulously, about everything from Zhou Yuanyuan's hospitalization to her discharge. Xiaoqing had been Zhou Yuanyuan's personal nurse since her arrival. Xiaoqing struggled to recall anything, but aside from knowing she was unconscious, she hadn't noticed anything unusual about her.
Doctor Yu was not very satisfied with Xiaoqing's answer and asked Xiaoqing to think about it again and again all day long.
Xiaoqing complied, but she felt a little skeptical. A "vegetative" patient experiences the same things every day. Xiaoqing had been thinking about it for the past few days, but she couldn't think of anything unusual about Zhou Yuanyuan. Xiaoqing didn't understand why Dr. Yu was so concerned about Zhou Yuanyuan, but she wisely didn't ask the question out loud.
Kyoto is a bit cold in winter, and most people wear thick cotton jackets.
Dr. Yu told Xiaoqing this morning that he would be working overtime in the laboratory today and might have to work all night, so he told Xiaoqing that she didn't have to wait for him to go home.
Xiaoqing was off today, and after busying herself cleaning Dr. Yu's house for half a day, she suddenly felt that being so heartless wasn't the right thing to do. Her boyfriend was working overtime all night, so wasn't this the perfect time for her to show her virtuous side?
Remembering that she had secretly seen Dr. Yu's pale face when she woke up in the morning, Xiaoqing went to the market to buy an old hen and made chicken soup for the whole afternoon. It was delicious and she was going to give it to her "dear doctor boyfriend" as a snack.
The weather was too cold. If it weren't for her passionate love supporting Xiaoqing, she wouldn't want to go out in such cold weather.
At 9:30 in the evening, Xiaoqing put on a thick cotton-padded jacket and a woolen coat over it, and only then did she feel a little warmer.
Before going out, Xiaoqing wrapped a long scarf around her head, covering the area below her nose tightly, then she held the thermos in her arms and walked towards the hospital in the heavy snow.
In order to give Dr. Yu a surprise, Xiaoqing deliberately did not call Dr. Yu to inform him.
As a long-time employee of Renhe Hospital, Xiaoqing was very familiar with the hospital. She knew that Dr. Yu's laboratory was located in a three-story building next to the outpatient clinic. This building was called the Medical Technology Building and housed more than a dozen laboratories, all of which were run by elites in the medical field.
Xiaoqing hugged the thermos, and the warmth of the thermos warmed Xiaoqing's heart. Xiaoqing thought that after Dr. Yu finished drinking her "loving chicken soup", she might be able to talk to Dr. Yu about marriage.
Xiaoqing walked in the quiet corridor, the only sound she could hear was the "thump thump" of her shoes. To make it easier to walk, Xiaoqing didn't wear high-heeled boots today, but a pair of rubber-soled sneakers.
Seeing Dr. Yu's laboratory right before her eyes, Xiaoqing smiled. In this freezing weather, drinking a bowl of hot chicken soup was definitely the greatest enjoyment in life.
Xiaoqing gently turned the handle of the laboratory door and called out, "Honey, I'm here to bring you some midnight snack."
Then, Xiaoqing's eyes widened and a look of fear appeared on her face.
"Ah~!" A shrill scream came out of Xiaoqing's mouth.
First set a small goal, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju mobile version reading website:
