First update
Qin Yao glanced at Xu Yun strangely, wondering why the woman in front of her hated her? Is he surprised at her good needlework? Or maybe he just can't stand her being with Gu Cheng?
"Your embroidery is so beautiful. I don't have that skill. Young girls should learn more from you." Xu Yun kept praising.
Nurse Xu has gentle features, but her voice is not very pleasant. She speaks in an old-fashioned way and is used to dragging out the pronunciation of words. Even her ordinary household words have a tone of "earnest advice", as if she is speaking to you from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Yao was disgusted by her approaching her. He was obviously not speaking from the heart, but he was deliberately getting close to her. What was he planning?
Qin Yao packed up her things, sat down at her desk, picked up a literary magazine, and didn't talk to Xu Yun, which made Xu Yun feel bored.
"Xiao Qin, Head Nurse Ge told me about you. I waited for you to come to me, but you never did. I took the initiative to come to your house today to eat your and Captain Gu's wedding candy."
"I'll tell you some secrets of being a woman."
Qin Yao waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Nurse Xu. But I am an honest person. I hope to face my relatives and friends with my true self."
Xu Yun said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pass the probation period?"
"You can pretend for a while, but not forever. If you can't get over it, forget it. There are plenty of men on the island."
"I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap."
Xu Yun came to the corridor, her face was extremely dark and gloomy. She actually failed to make friends with Qin Yao? Shouldn't we treat Qin Yao, this stupid woman, as a good elder sister whom we can confide in?
When they become closer, Xu Yun will be able to gossip about Qin Yao, feel sorry for her, and let her quarrel with Gu Cheng.
But Qin Yao refused to make friends with her.
Xu Yun rolled her eyes and had another idea. She didn't take a nap at noon, and she praised Qin Yao's craftsmanship to everyone she met, "Nurse Qin is good at sewing. She is embroidering a handkerchief for Captain Gu."
"The embroidery is very good, even more delicate than the embroiderers employed by the ancient royal family."
"If you want to learn, you must go and ask her!"
Qin Yao herself hadn't started sewing yet, but her reputation for sewing skills had spread throughout the hospital. In the duty room, a group of young girls joked, "Xiao Qin, I didn't expect you to have this skill."
"You're hiding it from us."
Qin Yao sneered in her heart, this Nurse Xu is really a big mouth.
"Xiao Qin, can you teach me?"
"Nurse Qin, please teach me too."
…
Qin Yao was surrounded by a group of young girls. At this time, everyone had a few handkerchiefs for daily replacement. Handkerchiefs were not expensive, the cheapest ones were a few cents, and the expensive ones were several yuan or even tens of yuan. The cheapest ones were white, and the ones with patterns and colors were more expensive. The silk ones were the most expensive.
Solid color handkerchiefs are cheap, and many people like to buy solid color ones and embroider their names on them. If you have good embroidery skills and can embroider patterns on the handkerchiefs, the handkerchiefs will immediately be worth a few cents more.
Qin Yao had seen the handkerchiefs in the supply and marketing cooperatives at that time. Although there were many patterns, most of them were brightly colored "flowers in bloom" with big red and purple flowers. Young girls did not like this kind.
The handkerchiefs sold in the city’s department stores have simple and elegant patterns, but they are expensive.
Qin Yao's magnolia handkerchief has infinite appeal to young girls. The pattern is elegant and there is a man's name on the side. They also want to embroider one for themselves or their partners.
"Xiao Qin, this handkerchief is so beautiful. Captain Gu will definitely like it."
"Captain Gu wants to praise you for your beauty and intelligence!"
"Teach me, and I'll treat you to a meal."
Qin Yao did not explain, but took out the handkerchief and showed it to everyone, and then rejected everyone: "Don't come to me, I don't have time to teach you right now, I can't take care of myself. You might as well ask Nurse Xu instead of asking me. She is gentle and has a good personality, and she will definitely teach you carefully."
"I'm still young and don't have the patience to teach others. If I meet someone who is clumsy, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my temper."
"Nurse Xu is different. Has anyone ever seen her scold anyone?"
…
Isn’t it just praising someone? Qin Yao smiled and added to Xu Yun's reputation. If she had the same personality as Zhang Yufei, she would definitely be very nervous and would not dare to refuse requests from outsiders, for fear that others would dislike her.
But Qin Yao is not a pushover and she is determined not to take on such thankless work.
"You go and beg Nurse Xu, can she really refuse you?"
The other women looked at each other in bewilderment. After thinking about it, it made sense. Xiao Qin still needed a girlfriend, and Nurse Xu was well-known for her virtue, so it would be better to trouble Nurse Xu with this matter.
So a few interested little girls turned to Xu Yun and pestered her to learn needlework.
"Nurse Xu, I heard you are good at sewing. Can you teach us how to embroider a handkerchief?"
Xu Yun shot herself in the foot. She asked in confusion, "Why don't you go to Xiao Qin to learn? She embroiders so well, she's young, and her patterns are what you young people like."
"I'm older than you, so my aesthetic taste is old-fashioned."
A nurse said, "It's okay, Nurse Xu, just teach us a simple one and we'll all follow you."
"Xiao Qin still wants to date someone, so we shouldn't bother her."
"Yes, they still have a probation period."
Each of them spoke in a more considerate manner than the other. For these young nurses, Xu Yun was an ideal teacher.
Qin Yao is young, but when she was dating Captain Gu, Captain Gu was so imposing that whenever he came to see Qin Yao, his face was cold and arrogant, as if he was a leader coming to inspect the unit, which made people feel terrified.
Some people like him, while others, when seeing him, are like mice seeing a cat, and they wish they could lower their heads and crawl into a hole.
Not all girls want to run into guys.
"Nurse Xu, you wouldn't be so stingy as to reject us, would you?"
"Yes, we came to you because we heard that you are the kindest."
"Nurse Xu, when I saw you, I felt very close to you, like my own sister from my hometown."
"Yes, that's right." Xu Yun could hardly keep the smile on her face. She was annoyed at Qin Yao's stubbornness, but she was busy trying to maintain her reputation as a gentle, kind and helpful person. "Okay, okay, I'll teach you."
"Let me make it clear first, my embroidery is not as good as Xiao Qin's."
The others said in unison: "It's okay, as long as you are patient, Master!"
"Nurse Xu is famous for her patience and gentleness."
Xu Yun maintained a gentle expression on her face, but she was so angry that she felt like vomiting blood. She was upset and the more she thought about it while holding the needle and thread, the angrier she became. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her fingertips and blood oozed out.
When the other girls saw this, they were surprised and said, "It's been stabbed and it's bleeding!"
"That's serious! How deep is the wound?"
"Nurse Xu, please be careful."
Xu Yun's lips trembled, and she managed a smile: "I'm old, my eyesight is not good, and my technique is not stable. How about you ask Xiao Qin?"
The young nurse said, "Nurse Xu, please don't be so modest!"
"Xiao Qin is at a critical time in dating, and there are so many of us surrounding her. It seems like we have bad intentions and are trying to stop her from dating. We are still waiting to eat wedding candy."
"Just take your time, don't rush."
Being stared at by so many eyes, Xu Yun's face was burning. If she refused Qin Yao again, it would be considered as "having ulterior motives" and interfering with other people's relationship.
"Nurse Xu, please do me a favor and let Xiao Qin wrap a big wedding candy for you."
Xu Yun lowered her head, her breath stuck in her chest and she couldn't lift it up. She wanted to stamp her feet and beat her chest. She was so angry that her hands were shaking. She was so angry that she was dying!

Qin Yao did not embroider the handkerchief in the duty room, but moved to the dormitory. Zhang Yufei knew about her mediocre craftsmanship, but did not tell anyone and did not ask who embroidered the magnolia handkerchief.
It can’t be that Captain Gu embroidered it, right?
Qin Yao originally wanted to copy the magnolia template given by Gu Cheng, but after embroidering a corner, she felt that the pattern was too complicated and it would be better to keep it simple. She drew a sketch and decided to use cross-stitch to embroider a creative little yellow duck.
Cross-stitch stitches are simple and not easy to make mistakes. Qin Yao embroidered a little yellow duck very professionally, and added her and Gu Cheng’s surnames.
At least it's just a handkerchief, and it's a bit overwhelming!
When Gu Cheng came to find her, Qin Yao presented her handkerchief to him like a treasure, "Captain Gu, come and see the handkerchief I embroidered."
"Is it embroidered?" Gu Cheng was very happy, a smile appeared on his cold face. He touched his nose to hide his expectation and happiness.
"Dangdangdang." Qin Yao spread out her little yellow duck.
Gu Cheng: “…”
In the lower right corner of a solid-colored handkerchief, there is a crooked fat duck squatting, and the two words "Gu-Qin" are embroidered on the side.
He touched the duck, which was no bigger than his two fingers, and with a slight fold of his handkerchief, the duck disappeared.
"Why is it a duck?" Gu Cheng frowned. It was completely different from what he had imagined. Was he going to use this handkerchief in front of outsiders and say that his girlfriend made it for him?
To be honest, the little duck embroidered by Qin Yao is not ugly, it is very cute. But it is not suitable for a 1.8-meter-tall man like him, but only for kindergarten kids of four or five years old.
Qin Yao: "Next time I'll embroider a giant panda for you!"
Gu Cheng rubbed his brows, no longer holding any expectations, "Don't just one, embroider two, it will look better in pairs."
"Okay." Qin Yao gritted her teeth. Gu Cheng's reaction made her very unhappy. They were not boyfriend and girlfriend now, but at least they were in an ambiguous state of "more than friends, but less than lovers".
This was his reaction to the handkerchief embroidered by his ambiguous partner.
A basin of cold water was poured on his head, and his favorability dropped by 30 points. Qin Yao even wanted to kick him.
In fact, she stretched out her leg and kicked him, "If you don't like it, give it back to me."
Qin Yao reached out to grab the handkerchief, but Gu Cheng held it tightly, "Give it to me and it's mine. Don't even think about taking it back."
Gu Cheng put the handkerchief into his pocket and tapped her forehead: "Remember, you still owe me eight."
"Giant pandas, two."

Gu Cheng got the little yellow duck handkerchief. According to his previous personality, he would never carry it with him. What would it matter if it was seen by outsiders? He's so funny that he's dying.
But this was embroidered by Yaoyao herself!
"I was drugged..." Gu Cheng himself found it weird. Qin Yao gave him two handkerchiefs, one was light pink, embroidered with magnolias, which was the first handkerchief Qin Yao gave him; the other was light yellow, embroidered with a little yellow duck.
He actually liked the second one better than the first one.
I pinch the fat duck on it to play with it when I have nothing to do. It has become a habit after a day. This handkerchief is suitable for daily use. The little yellow duck is in the lower right corner. I hold it in my palm and outsiders cannot see it.
He didn't know that Political Commissar Zhou had a sharp eye: "Did your girlfriend embroider this handkerchief?"
Zhao Mingjin's eyes widened, "Yes, it's Xiao Qin."
Political Commissar Zhou was still curious: "I heard your girlfriend is good at sewing."
Zhao Mingjin was envious, "Captain Gu, take a look."
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Both he and Dr. He were defeated by Captain Gu. Zhao Mingjin was open-minded. Losing is losing, and he can just wait to eat the wedding candy.
Gu Cheng's calm face showed no emotion. He took out two handkerchiefs, unfolded them, and boasted in his tone: "Xiao Qin embroidered them for me."
Political Commissar Zhou and Zhao Mingjin looked closely and saw a magnolia flower and a little yellow duck.
The two were completely confused. Was this embroidered by one person?
Political Commissar Zhou pointed at the magnolia flower and said, "I like this one. It's well embroidered."
"This little duck is adorable." Zhao Mingjin asked curiously, "Were all these embroidered by Xiao Qin? That's not right, Captain Gu, could it be that you embroidered this duck?"
Political Commissar Zhou choked on his own saliva: "Cough cough cough——"
Gu Cheng's face darkened: "This was embroidered by my girlfriend."
Zhao Mingjin dug deeper and asked, "Why is it a little duck?"
Gu Cheng glanced at him calmly, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He crossed his arms and said calmly, "She said it was embroidered for our future little tiger girl."
"I'll use it in advance."
"Little girl, think long-term."
Zhao Mingjin: “???!!!!”
