Chapter 51
I'm hungry, I want to eat a puppy~
It was in the early hours of the morning.
The emergency building of the People's Hospital is like a lighthouse in the desert of life, forever shining with endless light in the long dark night.
The bar street wasn't far from the hospital, only about a ten-minute drive away, but Cheng Sangluo felt the journey was agonizing and kept urging the driver to go faster.
The moment the driver slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of the hospital, she shoved the car door open, turned around, picked up the light-footed Lin Jin, and rushed towards the emergency building.
This man was more anxious than ever before; he even threw down fifty yuan for the fare without bothering to get change.
Her steps were hurried and disordered, but fortunately steady enough. The worry that spilled out in her haste was rare, easily betraying her concern and care that she had vehemently denied.
Even though the night breeze was cool, it couldn't beat the stuffiness of wearing a formal suit.
She worked tirelessly, her body covered in sweat, her face flushed with heat, and beads of sweat clinging to the tip of her nose.
Lin Jin held her neck silently, a satisfied smile playing on her lips. She secretly sighed that her foot injury hadn't been in vain, feeling a bit of relief that she had turned misfortune into blessing.
Seeing the puppy's serious and anxious look, a pang of heartache rose in her eyes, and she softly called out, "No one's been killed, why are you so nervous? Be good, walk slowly, okay?"
"No, I need to rush to get an emergency appointment. If I've broken a bone, I might need surgery, and I'll probably have to spend the night in the hospital." The person who had been silent the whole time finally spoke, and the unyielding look in his eyes carried a hint of assertiveness, which Lin Jin found quite endearing.
Perhaps feeling that her attitude was too harsh, Cheng Sangluo softened her voice and muttered, "Although you don't say it hurts, I can tell you're in a lot of pain. Your face is pale. You can really endure it."
Lin Jin was stunned by the silent attention of that heartless person, but quickly transformed into a gentle expression reflecting the moonlight.
She tilted her head and leaned on Cheng Sangluo's shoulder, letting out a few clear, cool laughs, and couldn't help but say narcissistically, "Is the little puppy so worried about me? Don't deny it~"
Cheng Sangluo did not slow down, but glanced down at the pale-faced madwoman.
At this moment, her temper was better than before, and even her complaints were like soft cotton candy, "What time is it, and you're still in the mood to joke? It seems your foot injury isn't serious enough."
"Who said that?" Lin Jin tightened her arms around the dog's neck, complaining playfully, "My feet hurt! It hurts so much~"
I really need the comfort of a puppy right now~
As Cheng Sangluo hurried into the emergency building, she immediately looked around for a wheelchair rental place, so much so that she didn't notice a white figure walking towards her.
Lin Jin, however, had sharp eyes. She noticed the woman approaching gracefully and greeted her with a light smile: "Sister Chi, I'm sorry to trouble you with such a late trip."
Cheng Sangluo was quite surprised. This was the first time she had ever seen the crazy woman so polite, actually taking the initiative to speak politely to others, and her tone even had a layer of obedience.
She followed the gaze and saw the female doctor in the white coat with a gentle smile and a calm and composed demeanor.
She couldn't quite describe the other person as cold, because they exuded an intellectual gentleness, but they also lacked excessive enthusiasm.
In comparison, she appears far too anxious and uneasy.
Chi Jue is the chief physician of orthopedic surgery at the People's Hospital and also the third shareholder of Yunxing Health and Wellness Center. She can prescribe the right medicine for the right condition, which is why Lin Jin asked her to make this trip in the middle of the night.
"It's alright, I've already registered. Let me take you to get an X-ray first." Chi Jue put his hands in his pockets, nodded calmly, and then focused his gaze on Lin Jin's congested ankle. "Tell me, what happened?"
"I got beaten up by Lin Sheng's men," Lin Jin said lazily, leaning against the puppy, answering truthfully as if nothing had happened.
Chi Jue's eyes were very calm, and his temperament was as serene as water. Even when he heard that Lin Jin's foot had been injured, he did not show the slightest surprise.
She lifted Lin Jin's ankle and performed a quick examination. The bruising was severe, and even the slightest touch would cause sharp, throbbing pain, indicating an injury to the ankle joint. "What hit you like that?"
"The baseball bat hit them really hard."
The person who asked the quick question was Cheng Sangluo. In fact, she hadn't seen how Lin Jin was injured; she just guessed and gave a very convincing answer.
Unable to resist, she asked again, "Um, Dr. Chi... is this foot injury serious?"
"Baseball bat?" Chi Jue looked up at the nervous Cheng Sangluo and made a preliminary judgment: "If it was hit particularly hard, it is very likely a fracture. We will make further plans after seeing the X-ray. If surgery is needed, we will have to wait for the hematoma to subside."
"Oh, okay...okay...I'll do whatever you say..." Cheng Sangluo nodded repeatedly like an obedient schoolchild, making it seem like she was the one who was hurt.
Lin Jin's sparkling eyes fell on the puppy's face and she couldn't bear to look away. Her nervous and cautious demeanor made even a second glance a bonus.
Cheng Sangluo couldn't see, but the person in her arms looked like an eternity in a single glance.
Seeing that Lin Jin was completely infatuated, Chi Jue simply smiled and didn't disturb her.
She didn't sit idle either, and instead instructed Cheng Sangluo: "Go run an errand later and buy some tissues and toiletries, and also buy a few bottles of mineral water to keep on hand. If nothing unexpected happens, my judgment will be correct; there's a high chance we'll need to go through the hospital admission procedures."
"Okay, okay, tissues... toiletries... bottled water..." Cheng Sangluo mumbled, repeating what she needed, then quickened her pace to catch up with Chi Jue. "Is there anything else I need to buy?"
Chi Jue was infected by her cautious emotions and couldn't help but tease her: "Relax, look, even the injured person isn't as nervous as you."
"Am I...am I nervous?" Cheng Sangluo awkwardly twitched her lips, then stubbornly insisted, "Where am I nervous? Am I?"
Coincidentally, Chi Jue walked into the radiology department's overtime room, greeted his colleagues inside, and then instructed, "Leave her to me, you go outside for some fresh air."
"Oh, okay." Cheng Sangluo responded, carried Lin Jin to a bench, and then squatted down to get her high heels, asking softly, "Is there anything else you need me to buy? Are you hungry?"
Lin Jin, her eyebrows slightly raised, scrutinized the puppy's earnest yet adorable face, then whispered in her ear, "Hungry, want to eat the puppy~"
Seeing the puppy's ears and neck instantly turn bright red, she contentedly placed her hands on either side, tiptoed, and tried to swing it, but even the slightest movement brought excruciating pain, forcing her to squint and endure the pain, "Hiss..."
"Hey! Can you stop moving around?" Cheng Sangluo scolded shyly, but when she noticed that Chi Jue was also looking her over, she got up and quickly left.
Lin Jin craned her neck to watch the fleeing figure, muttering to herself sullenly, "How many times have we slept together? Is she still so shy?"
......
During the break while waiting after filming, Chi Jue walked up to Lin Jin with his arms crossed, a rare look of gossip on his face. "Is that the girl you were waiting for?"
Lin Jin raised an eyebrow and asked smugly, "How about it? Isn't she cute?"
"She's an honest person." Chi Jue had a good eye for people, and his assessment was quite fair. "I can tell you've bullied her quite a bit."
"What bullying? She's great in every way, except she's as stubborn as a mule. I call that being a good dog trainer." Lin Jin spouted some twisted logic, then suddenly remembered something and immediately changed to a more conciliatory expression. "Sister, can I ask you for a favor?"
Chi Jue immediately refused: "No, every time you beg me with that look on your face, it's never anything good. You're a wicked person."
"It's not like I'm asking you to do anything illegal or criminal." Lin Jin wrinkled her nose, spitting out the bad idea in her mind: "If I don't have a broken bone, could you please help me get a few days of hospitalization?"
"Do you think this is a tourist resort? How can you occupy medical resources like this?" Chi Jue could see through Lin Jin's little scheme. He just wanted to use the injury to make trouble for the honest man. "If you're sick, get treatment. If you're not sick, go home and date. Don't you find this place unlucky?"
"Okay, okay, Sister Chi is right." Lin Jin smiled wearily, glancing towards the stairwell every now and then.
The puppy had been gone for about twenty minutes, which made her a little distracted. She couldn't help but take out her phone and think about whether she should call and urge it back.
Such prompting is actually very simple, just a few swipes on the screen, but it is also somewhat difficult, because Lin Jin always thinks that the person should take the initiative in everything they do.
The quiet waiting area couldn't create much excitement, and this brief separation felt like an eternity.
Thinking that it was a rare opportunity to meet Lin Jin, Chi Jue took the chance to suddenly bring up an important matter. "Jin, I've thought it over. I can't take on the surgery you planned. After all, it's illegal to perform such surgery without the patient's consent. You should consider the other person's feelings more. It's better to be honest than to hide it from them. Some things can be kept quiet for a while, but they can't be kept quiet forever."
On the other side.
Cheng Sangluo ran outside the hospital for a while and finally found a 24-hour convenience store.
This person is contradictory. He always criticizes Lin Jin and is quite stingy with himself, but he is incredibly generous when it comes to buying things for hospitalization.
At this moment, she stood in front of the shelf with a shopping basket, throwing anything useful into the basket.
Besides the necessities Dr. Chi mentioned, she also selected a bunch of other things.
Thinking that Lin Jin was a figure who commanded the world, her phone should be kept in constant working order, so she waved her hand and a power bank worth over a hundred yuan appeared in her basket, and she even thoughtfully included a charger set in case of emergency.
Even though she knew that the elegant woman wouldn't even look at fast food, she still bought a bunch of different flavors of eight-treasure porridge.
Yes, we must buy milk, and it has to be low-fat and high-calcium, since the crazy woman is lame and calcium supplementation is very important.
Passing by the snack section, she paused for a moment, tilting her head to scan the dazzling array of snacks, wondering whether Lin Jin would eat them.
The next second, several large bags of potato chips were piled up in the basket.
When she reached the cashier to pay, Cheng Sangluo listened to the beeping sound of the QR code scanning, each sound piercing her ears and causing her heart to bleed.
She was somewhat annoyed that she had been too generous, after all, she earned her money through hard work and couldn't have it all by chance.
But she also felt that it was all her fault. If she had been more careful when fighting with those people in the parking garage, the crazy woman wouldn't have gotten hurt.
This soft-hearted god ultimately took all the blame upon himself.
The cashier packed the two large bags of items and reminded them, "Hello, this is 381 yuan."
So, the puppy burst into gold coins with tears in its eyes.
