She slowly gathered her thoughts, sighed inwardly, and then heard Liu Xia question her: "Is it hard to answer? You have no friends, so just say it!"
What do you want me to say?
Li Meiqin's eyes were full of helplessness as she tried to persuade Liu Xia: "I know you like Dr. Fu, but a man like Dr. Fu would never be interested in a nurse like us."
And you... you've already treated Dr. Fu as your possession. Whenever you see him talking to other women, you... you wish you could separate them. To be honest, this kind of thinking is really bad.
For example, regarding what just happened, you were bothered by Song Lan and Dr. Fu laughing and joking, but did you ever consider that they were talking about work, or that they were just exchanging greetings after accidentally bumping into each other?
You didn't think about those things; you just felt that Song Lan and Dr. Fu standing together was an eyesore. So when Dr. Fu came over, you said some random things in that strange tone. Xiaoxia, take my advice, give up those feelings. Your feelings for Dr. Fu will never lead anywhere.
"Mikoto, you don't happen to like Dr. Fu too, do you?"
Liu Xia's gaze fell on Li Meiqin with unusual complexity. She spoke directly in a declarative tone. Upon hearing this, Li Meiqin simply looked at her quietly without responding.
"It seems that's indeed the case!"
Her face turned ugly. Liu Xia seemed to have forgotten that Li Meiqin was her friend. She sneered, "I'm not trying to be mean, but with your looks, where do you get the idea to like Dr. Fu? Besides, I haven't hidden my feelings for Dr. Fu from you. Since you know that, why are you still competing with me?"
What's most outrageous is that, in order to make me stop liking Dr. Fu, you actually said those things, Mikoto. Let me tell you the truth, it's impossible for me to back out voluntarily!
"I don't have the kind of ulterior motives you're talking about."
Li Meiqin said indifferently, "There are quite a few people in our staff hospital who like Dr. Fu. I don't deny that I am one of them. But liking him is one thing, but I don't think I am worthy of Dr. Fu. So, I never hoped that we could be together."
"We're not three-year-olds, who are you trying to fool?!"
Liu Xia pouted.
Clearly, she did not believe what Li Meiqin said.
"We're friends, don't you even have the most basic trust in me?"
Li Meiqin's eyes were clear, as if she could see into Liu Xia's heart. When their eyes met, Liu Xia looked indifferent: "So what if we're friends? Even brothers keep clear accounts when it comes to their own interests, let alone us, who are just friends."
"Fine, if you won't listen to advice and don't trust me, then do as you please."
After leaving those words, Li Meiqin went to work without saying anything more to Liu Xia.
Liu Xia didn't linger. After the two disappeared from the duty room, a medium-sized, plump nurse came out of the duty room. She rolled her eyes at Liu Xia's retreating figure and muttered, "Does she really think she's a fairy? No one else is worthy to be paired with Dr. Fu. Only you, a shrew, are worthy?"
This nurse was none other than Wang Ping, the nurse who had recently had a quarrel with Liu Xia, which had implicated Song Lan.
...
As a nurse, Song Lan's job is anything but easy. While she can't say she's constantly on the ground during her workday, there's absolutely no way she can slack off.
Time flew by and it was already mid-afternoon.
"I'm so busy, I'm so tired!"
After finishing an IV drip for one patient and helping another to the restroom, Wang Ping finally had a moment to rest. She raised her left hand and gently patted her shoulder, then quietly stretched her waist and whispered something to Song Lan.
"Our job is definitely not easy."
Song Lan responded with a smile.
One nurse is responsible for six to eight beds, which means she is responsible for six to eight patients. Each patient's condition is different, and as the nurse in charge of them, she must pay close attention to their clinical condition at all times.
Changing dressings, changing IV drips, helping people to the toilet, and taking notes—in short, she has virtually no free time throughout the day. In addition, she also has to go to the operating room to assist whenever there is surgery.
Perhaps due to limited medical conditions and resources, all the medical staff in the staff hospital were fully utilized.
"You're going to the county town to take the medical licensing exam at the end of the month. How confident are you of passing?"
"How can you say for sure?"
"If you pass the exam, you will become a doctor in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of our staff hospital, and you won't have to be so busy like you are now."
"We're paid by the government, so it's only right that we're busy. It has nothing to do with what position we're in."
"Okay, your awareness is higher than mine."
Are you being modest?
Song Lan asked Wang Ping with a smile.
"No, I just feel that I'm not as enlightened as you, that's the truth."
Wang Ping waved her hand.
"Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to go change the IV drip for bed number six."
With that, Song Lan turned and left.
Wang Ping stood there for a while, and when she heard one of the patients she was taking care of calling "Nurse Wang", she quickly moved to the ward diagonally opposite where she and Song Lang were standing.
As time passed, there was only about half an hour left before I could get off work.
Song Lan helps a patient to get a blood test, unaware that a grand conspiracy is about to unfold against her.
"Are you hiding something in your pocket?"
Li Meiqin and Liu Xia each took the IV drips for the patients they were caring for and headed to two adjacent wards. Suddenly, Li Meiqin glanced into the left pocket of Liu Xia's nurse uniform and asked her casually.
"Hide something? What could I possibly hide? Are you glued to me, watching my every move?"
Liu Xia said with an annoyed expression.
"I saw you go to the pharmacy to see Yang Mingqiang not long after I started work this afternoon."
Upon hearing Li Meiqin's words, Liu Xia glared at her and said, "What's wrong with me looking for him? We grew up together. Is it illegal for me to go and say a few words to him?"
"I think there's something going on between you and Yang Mingqiang."
Li Meiqin said, "I also saw Yang Mingqiang give you something, and you quickly stuffed it into your pocket after taking it."
Liu Xia glanced at Li Meiqin and said indifferently, "He gave me a White Rabbit milk candy to sweeten my mouth. Do you want one too?" Before Li Meiqin could speak, Liu Xia snorted and raised her chin, saying, "It's a pity that I've already eaten the one Yang Mingqiang gave me. He probably doesn't have another one in his pocket. You probably won't get one if you want it."
Would I crave a White Rabbit milk candy?
Li Meiqin said, "Xiaoxia, there are some things you can't do, otherwise, it will be too late to regret it."
"Can you shut up?" Liu Xia said impatiently. "Go and get your patient an IV drip. Stop chattering in my ear. It's so annoying." She took a few quick steps and went into a ward.
Seeing this, Li Meiqin naturally didn't say anything more and stepped into the next ward.
When she finished setting up the IV drip for the patient and went to find Liu Xia, she discovered that Liu Xia was somewhere busy and she couldn't find her anywhere.
