Chapter 87 Are you Belle?
"Miss Jian looks to be around 20 years old, right?" the man asked, his voice a little deep.
Jian Yan pursed her lips and thought for a moment: "21 years old."
"You are in the prime of your youth. I don't know what's bothering you, Miss Jian, that makes you want to do something so drastic." The man's tone contained a hint of admonition, and it was clear that he was genuinely trying to persuade her.
Jian Yan lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Chen Chu paused for a moment and then said, "No matter what, as long as you're alive, there's hope."
Jian Yan only looked up when she heard the man's strong footsteps leaving the restaurant, and her gaze inevitably fell on his broad and powerful back.
She sighed softly.
He was indeed not Dr. Chen Ci.
The voice, movements, and mannerisms are all unlike the person's.
...
Around 10 p.m., Ye Qingning finally finished watching a movie on the projector screen in the ward. She rubbed her eyes, got out of bed, and planned to wash her face, put on a face mask, and go to sleep.
Xiao Cui suddenly rushed in from outside, panting, and said to her, "Miss Ye, my best friend is heartbroken and is threatening suicide at home. Can I go and see her...?"
Yet another person who doesn't cherish life.
Ye Qingning sighed: "Then you should go quickly. You can stay with her tonight. I'll be fine here."
"Are you alright by yourself?"
Ye Qingning raised her right arm: "I only have a minor arm injury, everything else is fine. You go and take care of her first."
"Okay, thank you, Miss Ye." Xiao Cui hurriedly packed her bag and left.
Ye Qingning went to the bathroom to wash up as usual. Since she could only move her left hand, it was a bit slower. So when she came out after putting on a face mask, she saw that there was someone else in the ward at some point.
Chen Ci, dressed in a pink suit, leaned casually against the headboard with one hand in his pocket, watching the last frame of the movie frozen on the projection screen.
Only one wall lamp was on in the room, casting a dim light. From Ye Qingning's perspective, she could only see Chen Ci's slightly desolate profile.
His eyes and brows were hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to discern his emotions, but Ye Qingning keenly sensed that his words at this moment were completely different from his usual ones.
Surprisingly, it possessed a rare depth.
Hearing Ye Qingning's movement, Chen Ci turned to look at her, his expression instantly shifting to one of nonchalance.
"I came to check on you before I left work. Are you feeling alright?"
Ye Qingning walked to the wall and turned on the headlight: "It's fine, except for the discomfort in my arm... By the way, when can I remove the splint? It's quite inconvenient to have only one arm."
"In my opinion as a quack doctor, it should take at least seven days."
Ye Qingning sighed, "Seven more days...it feels so long."
Chen Ci paused for a moment: "Does your arm... hurt a lot?"
Ye Qingning shrugged: "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little inconvenient. You know, girls rely on their right hand for skincare and makeup every day."
Chen Ci's gaze lingered on her face, which was covered by a face mask, then he smiled and said nothing more.
Ye Qingning climbed back onto the bed and turned off the projector screen. Seeing Chen Ci still standing, she casually asked, "Do you usually get off work at this time? It seems being a doctor is quite tiring."
Chen Ci remained silent for a moment before asking instead of answering, "You also like watching the movie 'Beauty and the Beast'?"
"It's alright." Ye Qingning raised her hand and pressed the corner of the face mask: "I like to watch a lot of different types of content. I can learn while watching and also cultivate my mind."
Chen Ci raised an eyebrow slightly: "Don't you think the boss looks a lot like that beast?"
Ye Qingning was taken aback, then nodded and waved her hand: "No, no, your boss is much more handsome than a wild beast."
Chen Ci chuckled softly: "So you're Belle, the one who heals beasts?"
