Chapter 10 Sickness
Su Qingyan went home and changed into a Maybach, which he felt was mature, stable, and low-key. Despite rushing to catch his car, he still couldn't avoid the evening rush hour. He tapped his fingers anxiously on the steering wheel. The shift schedule sent by his assistant showed that Zhou Cheng was on the day shift today, but it was already past his end time. He wondered if he had already left.
Su Qingyan had been feeling drowsy lately, but today, he was incredibly focused and clear-minded, thinking he'd recovered. But as soon as he finished, all the discomfort returned, and the traffic jam made him even more drowsy. Arriving at the hospital at a snail's pace, Su Qingyan headed straight for General Surgery Ward 2.
Two nurses on night shift were chatting at the nurses' station. They were regretting that they didn't have a day shift today and missed out on a handsome young man who looked as good as a star.
"Is he really that handsome? I still don't believe it. They must be lying to me. There are no photos."
"One person said it might be an exaggeration, but everyone at the nurses' station at the time said he was so handsome."
"He's going to look for that Chu... Chu what? I heard he's in a band. Could he really be a celebrity friend?"
"Linlin is a veteran in the fan circle. She said there's definitely no such person in the domestic entertainment industry."
"I think Dr. Zhou is already very handsome, but he can be even more handsome than him."
“They said it’s not the same style.”
Su Qingyan saw the two of them whispering endlessly, so he waited for a while and decided to interrupt them.
"Hello, is Dr. Zhou here?"
When they heard the voice and looked up, they were stunned for a moment.
Su Qingyan wore a three-piece suit, a burgundy shirt, no tie, and two buttons undone, revealing his fair neck and faintly visible collarbone. He also wore a gray vest and suit, with a matching coat over it. His hair was meticulously combed, and he even wore gold-rimmed glasses, giving him the look of a social elite.
"Is Dr. Zhou here?" Su Qingyan saw that they didn't answer, so he smiled and asked again.
"In...in the office, just finished surgery." The nurse who spoke felt like she had been injected with 10 doses of dopamine.
"Thank you." Su Qingyan put the few cups of milk tea she had just bought downstairs at the nurses' station and walked quickly towards the doctor's office.
The office door was open. Su Qingyan knocked symbolically, but when no one answered, he walked right in. Several doctors were sitting in the office, some explaining the patient's condition to the family, while others were typing on their computers. No one was paying any attention to him. He saw Zhou Cheng talking to a younger doctor while looking at a film.
"Doctor Zhou."
Zhou Cheng thought it was a patient's family member, so he responded and turned around.
He really hoped that he was dreaming and that this face should never appear in reality again.
"I-"
"Shut up." Zhou Cheng quickly interrupted him, then stood up and walked out of the office.
When the other people in the office heard the noise, they all looked over curiously. Zhou Cheng felt that these people's eyes were staring through him. He wanted to disappear or wake up immediately.
Su Qingyan followed him to the corridor outside and saw him unbuttoning his white coat.
"Doctor Zhou, are you off work? Want to have dinner together?" Su Qingyan walked up to him and said to him.
Zhou Cheng took off his white coat and put it on his arm, rolled up his sleeves and was about to punch him.
"Doctor Zhou, you're not off duty yet? My wife just passed gas. Can we eat now?"
Zhou Cheng quickly put down his fist and gave instructions to the patient's family.
Su Qingyan also distanced himself slightly from him, not wanting to be beaten. After the family members left, Zhou Cheng didn't even glance at Su Qingyan, and continued walking towards the duty room.
"Doctor Zhou, don't hide from me." Su Qingyan was not affected at all. She followed him into the duty room and locked the door.
"Wait until I finish talking before you hit me." Su Qingyan raised his hands in surrender. "I was drunk that night, so don't be angry, but it's true that I want to pursue you."
Zhou Cheng sneered and untied his tie and wrapped it around his hand.
"It's true that I want to beat you up."
"No, no, no, Dr. Zhou, your hands are so precious. You play the piano and perform surgery. It's not worth it to hit me." In fact, Su Qingyan felt her heart beating faster when she saw him untying his tie.
"This is for you." Su Qingyan handed him a small box.
"Take it." Zhou Cheng didn't take it.
"You left your watch by the pool last time. I saw it was broken, so I bought you a new one."
"Did we know each other before? Do you know me? If you want to play, change your target. I'm busy, Mr. Su." Zhou Cheng didn't want to make a big fuss. After all, he was still in the hospital and he didn't want to be the focus of discussion.
Su Qingyan felt that this was the most irritating thing he had ever heard someone call him "Boss Su." No one had ever spoken to him that way before; he was always the center of attention. Zhou Cheng saw Su Qingyan's frustrated expression and thought he would leave immediately, but he quickly recovered and even walked closer to press the box into his hands.
"Give me a chance, Dr. Zhou. Let me apologize for what happened at the ski resort last time.
Zhou Cheng didn't think the ski resort incident was a big deal; he thought the apology should have been made at the bar that day. But Su Qingyan didn't seem to think he'd done anything wrong. Zhou Cheng ignored him, put on his coat, and was about to leave. He was already ready to leave, but he thought the film of the patient who had surgery today was typical, so he explained it to the students in his training program.
He didn't expect Su Qingyan to follow him all the way to the underground parking lot.
"Can you please stop following me?" Zhou Cheng stood next to his car without unlocking it. He knew that as long as he unlocked it, Su Qingyan would be able to come in immediately.
"Doctor Zhou, I didn't want to talk to you about business."
Zhou Cheng snorted in his heart, what official business could he have with him?
"Lawyer Feng is my company's legal counsel. His father's surgery was a success. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the company."
Zhou Cheng saw that his serious look, coupled with the suit, made him look even more like a gentleman.
"Then I'm really doing you a great honor to have President Su come and thank you in person." Zhou Cheng opened the car door and got in. Sure enough, Su Qingyan followed him and sat in the passenger seat.
"Doctor Zhou, we are really destined to meet." Su Qingyan didn't expect that she could wear this kind of clothes in this season. Now her nose and cheeks are red from the cold, but she has to maintain her image.
"Do you want to go home with me?" Zhou Cheng asked him after driving out of the underground parking lot.
"Is it okay?" Su Qingyan didn't expect Zhou Cheng to send an invitation so quickly.
Zhou Cheng didn't say anything and concentrated on driving. After the car drove a distance, the temperature inside the car rose slightly.
Su Qingyan felt that the car was uncomfortable to sit in. It was cold and hard, like sitting in an ice cave. After all, it was a Mercedes, so why didn't they start it remotely? Zhou Cheng was wearing a thick down jacket so he wouldn't feel cold. Su Qingyan really never blamed himself for the problem.
On the way, Su Qingyan tried to find something to talk about, but Zhou Cheng ignored him. He drove aggressively, exceeding the speed limit and changing lanes frantically. The intense shove from behind made Su Qingyan feel like he was racing. Just when he thought he could finally go home with Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng's phone rang. He answered it without avoiding anyone, and Yang Luning's slightly anxious voice came through the car speakers.
"Zhou Cheng, I went to the duty room but couldn't find you. Where are you? A patient with gallbladder shock was transferred to the emergency room. If you hadn't left, I wouldn't have called the second line. It would take quite a while to rush here from home."
"I'll go back right away and make the preoperative preparations." Zhou Cheng said and turned around immediately.
"Hey, haven't you already gotten off work?" Su Qingyan was surprised to see that he didn't hesitate for a moment.
"You want to go down?" Zhou Cheng glanced at Su Qingyan and saw him shaking his head repeatedly with his eyes wide open. There was a little water in his eyes because it was too cold. His face was paler than before and his lips had no color at all.
She is indeed good-looking, but also really annoying.
Zhou Cheng calmly turned up the air conditioner and started driving again. This time, he completely let himself go and kept speeding. After rushing back to the hospital, he went straight to the operating room.
Su Qingyan stood in the ward corridor, hungry, feeling truly miserable. He asked his assistant to order food and then went to the nurses' station to chat with the night shift nurse.
The nurses should have been off duty by this time, but she hadn't left yet. Chatting with the handsome guy was much more enjoyable than going back to the duty room to sleep. It didn't take long for Su Qingyan to extract a lot of useful information from the nurse.
The meal arrived shortly after, still in Mr. Su's extravagant style. Over a dozen wooden lunch boxes, each adorned with a few fresh flowers, filled the meal. Su Qingyan placed Zhou Cheng's and her own portions in the duty room, and gave the rest to the doctors and nurses working overtime. Everyone was delighted but also a little surprised. How could the usually staid and boring Zhou Cheng suddenly have a wealthy friend?
Su Qingyan felt that he must have a real cold. Normally, staying up all night was no problem for him, but today he fell asleep sitting on the chair in the duty room at just 2 a.m.
