At first, Bai Yan had no reaction to what Dr. Xu said about hanging an IV.
It's an infusion, it's very common.
It can also cool down quickly.
But when Meng Hechuan paid the fee and took the medicine back to the nurses' station, Doctor Xu pushed a small steel cart over. When Bai Yan saw the equipment on the cart, she was dumbfounded.
Medical conditions in the 1980s were not that good. Even in large hospitals like the Air Force General Hospital, their infusion needles were rubber tubes that Bai Yan had never seen before.
Bai Yan looked at the glass syringe in Doctor Xu's hand, which was almost as thick as two fingers, and swallowed.
Is the level of disinfection of this syringe up to standard?
"Comrade Bai Yan, right?"
Meng Hechuan answered for her, "Yes."
...
...
Doctor Xu put a cuff on Bai Yan, and Bai Yan yelled, "Wait a minute!"
She retracted her hand. "Actually, I just need to take some medicine. I don't need an IV drip..."
"Comrade Bai Yan, your temperature is too high. It's hard to lower it without an IV. Also, you have a rash due to the high fever. If you don't get an IV, the course of the disease will be prolonged, which will affect your training or work."
Meng Hechuan came over and made the final decision, "She is receiving an IV."
"He also said that he was not Huang Shiren... When I heard that it would affect my work, I wanted to give me some strong medicine right away."
Bai Yan's mumbling was not loud and Meng Hechuan didn't hear it clearly.
When I wanted to ask, Dr. Xu was already holding Bai Yan's hand to find a vein.
"Chief Engineer Meng, this woman's blood vessels are too thin to be found. I see she is a little afraid of needles. Can you help her find something to hold onto to relieve her tension?"
Meng Hechuan stood aside and naturally reached out his hand, "Catch me."
Bai Yan raised her eyes.
Catch him?
She didn't move, and pulled back her hand that was tied with the cuff, instinctively refusing to be pricked by this old-fashioned needle.
"Chief Engineer Meng, this isn't appropriate..."
"I'm your superior, and when necessary, you're my back to defend. There's nothing inappropriate about that."
In the clinic, the light was dim and the man's profile was calm and frank.
Bai Yan curled her lips, "You sound so righteous, but you're just worried that if I don't get the IV, I'll get better slowly and it'll affect my work."
This time it was closer, and Meng Hechuan could hear it clearly.
With a cold glance, Bai Yan shrank her neck and stretched out her hand obediently.
"Comrade, hurry up. I'm the only one on duty in the emergency room today. I have to go out after I give you the IV!" Doctor Xu adjusted the medicine and urged her.
The dangling white syringe was dangling in front of her. In panic, Bai Yan didn't dare to look and closed her eyes.
He spinelessly grabbed Meng Hechuan's outstretched left hand.
The next moment, the cold needle was inserted into her vein.
It was just as Dr. Xu said, her veins were too thin to be found.
So Dr. Xu pulled out the needle and inserted it again, repeating this process several times.
Bai Yan gasped in pain, and unconsciously squeezed Meng Hechuan's hand.
"Okay, pay attention to the drip rate. Come to me in advance to change the medicine after this bottle is finished."
Doctor Xu gave a few instructions and before leaving he glanced at the two hands that were still clasped together.
Bai Yan didn't let go of her hand, so Meng Hechuan could only nod towards Dr. Xu to show that he understood.
Bai Yan dared to slowly open her eyes only after she heard Dr. Xu's voice.
There were only two of them left in the infusion room.
She realized later that her hand was still clasped with Meng Hechuan's. Her back stiffened and Bai Yan let go of her hand.
"Thank you, Chief Engineer Meng. I'm fine now."
Meng Hechuan put his left hand back into his pocket and sat next to her.
"Chief Engineer Meng, please go back first. There is a doctor here. I can do it by myself."
Bai Yan couldn't stand the atmosphere, she stared at the thick needle piercing her hand with her eyes downcast, "Actually you...Actually I..."
She stammered, singing like a song, "I got sick today because I neglected the weather, but now that I'm in the hospital, I should be well again soon. You don't have to worry that my illness will affect the progress of the exchange class. When it's daybreak, I can go directly to the exchange class classroom..."
As she talked more and more, and her words became more and more outrageous, Meng Hechuan could no longer bear it.
He turned his head, his eyes thicker than the night outside the window, "Bai Yan, why do you think I came back and reappeared in front of the exchange class classroom in the middle of the night? Do you really think I feel like I just saved Comrade Xiao Ruan on the way?"
"Isn't it?" Bai Yan asked almost subconsciously.
The pressure on the man next to him dropped instantly.
The clinic was empty and silent late at night, and the flickering incandescent light made his pupils glow coldly.
Something is lurking and coming out.
Bai Yan felt inexplicably flustered, "Meng... Hechuan..."
She pursed her lips, pretended to move her seat casually, and wanted to run away.
But the man was blocking the way.
He seemed to be born with a sense of intimidation, and his gaze pierced Bai Yan's face. "You called my name?"
Bai Yan clenched her fists suddenly.
Meng Hechuan lowered his eyes, took his hand out of his pocket, leaned forward, and smoothed Bai Yan's stiff and clenched palm, "Don't use force when the infusion is infused."
The rubber tube is opaque and only the red color can be vaguely seen.
"The blood is flowing back."
His hands were cold and Bai Yan's temperature was high.
Every time he stroked her, Bai Yan trembled.
It gave me goosebumps layer after layer.
Most of the light was blocked by his body, and the only thing Bai Yan could see was the collar of his blue shirt.
Suddenly, his hand paused slightly under Bai Yan's palm, and his index finger unconsciously hooked it hard, as if to confirm something.
The sudden scratching in her palm made Bai Yan panic. She pulled her hand back and said, "Chief Engineer Meng, have you forgotten that you are still doubting my identity?"
The other hand that was not receiving the IV drip was placed on his chest, not hesitating to hurt himself, "My identity has not been thoroughly investigated yet..."
"Bai Yan, on your palm——"
"I'm sorry, comrade, this is the medicine you need to take. I forgot to give it to you just now."
Doctor Xu's footsteps were heard at the door, and Bai Yan and Meng Hechuan jumped away at that moment.
"Here, although you are receiving an IV, you still have to take medicine at the same time. Do you have a cup? The water room is in front, there is hot water."
Meng Hechuan stood up and pulled his wrinkled uniform, "Thank you, I'll go get a cup from the car."
After saying that, he walked out quickly.
"Hey, don't be so anxious. I have a clean cup here." Doctor Xu didn't stop him. He turned to Bai Yan and said, "Chief Engineer Meng is very good to you subordinates. It's rare to meet such a leader. Last time, he also brought another female comrade who fainted to see the doctor..."
Bai Yan forced a smile.
Is it rare?
But he clearly brought Ruan Xiaohui to see the doctor.
Because of his deliberate misleading, Meng Hechuan now only thinks that Ruan Xiaohui is the benefactor who took his epaulettes and saved him in Baijia Village.
He should be responsive to her every request.
The incandescent lamp was too bright, and without any obstruction, it made Bai Yan dizzy.
She drooped her eyelids and forced herself not to think too much. She had to remember Meng Hechuan's future fate. She should have a bright future in her life again and should not walk on the same path forever.
