That night, in order to be alone with Lu Kai, I accidentally slanted my foot while walking at night. My entire ankle was so swollen that I couldn't even put on my shoes. Fortunately, I used a secret ointment made by an old professor in the hospital to reduce the swelling. However, even though the swelling was reduced, my ankle still hurt so much that I didn't dare to step on the ground. Yanzi came to the dormitory to visit me after she heard the news. She scolded me for being a stupid woman. Even a bitter trick could not move a man's heart. It would be great if I had the same charm as her. I had to admit that I was indeed mentally retarded when it came to relationships. In the past, when I was dating Gu Cheng, I was also like a log. I never took the initiative to ask him out. After we got married, I was still like a shy girl. I was even more passive and conservative in my husband and wife life. Now that I think about it, perhaps it was my boredom that gave birth to Gu Cheng's cheating. Therefore, everything has two sides. I can't attribute the failure of our marriage to Gu Cheng's fault.
The Spring Festival was approaching. My colleagues in the department were discussing how to go home for the Spring Festival, but I was unlucky enough to tiptoe in the dormitory to recuperate. I had a hard life. After resting in the dormitory for five days, I felt uncomfortable all over. Seeing that my foot had already subsided and that it didn't hurt as much as before, I rushed to the hospital to work.
The Head Guard was arranging the Spring Festival shift. When she saw me standing in front of her safe and sound, she couldn't help but smile happily."Ye Qiu, is your foot alright?"
I smiled and nodded." Thank you for your concern. It's fine now!"”
"That's good. I'm arranging shifts for the Spring Festival.”The Head Guard asked me. Although she felt sorry for me, the staff in the department were already nervous. It could be said that each radish was a pit. I rested for five or six days, and the sisters in the department must be very busy. Besides, arranging shifts during the Spring Festival every year was her biggest headache. People didn't want to go home all year round, but the special department of the hospital couldn't close down. Those nurses with high qualifications were always picky about whether it was worth it or not. Therefore, arranging shifts became the most difficult thing. I'm all alone this year. I originally planned to go on a trip to the south with Yanzi, but Yanzi values her lover more than her friends. She insisted on going overseas for a holiday with her old boyfriend. Since I don't have any plans for the seven days of my annual leave, I might as well work a few more days for the chief nurse. Firstly, I can earn some overtime pay to honor my mother, and secondly, I can kill this empty and lonely time.
"Chief Protector, I'm fine. Just arrange a few more days for me!”I righteously decided to help the Head Protector solve the problem.
The Head Guard looked at me gratefully and smiled, but there was still a trace of pity in her eyes. She knew that I volunteered to be on duty during the Spring Festival because I wanted to let the busy work numb my injured heart. The other sisters were all moved by my selfless sacrifice, but Liu Xue, that heartless thing, actually snorted coldly and glanced at me. In her eyes, I was deliberately showing off. I can't be bothered to argue with a scum like her who measures a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. As long as the other sisters know my good intentions, it's fine.
The sisters in the department all held my hand excitedly and kept saying,"You're so nice!" I was immersed in the joy of being praised by them and actually forgot that I had promised Xiao Zhang to take over her duty. Xiao Zhang had just been in the hospital for a year. Because she was a temporary worker, she had to stay on duty in the department during holidays. Now that she had finally made it to the end of the year, she wanted to go back and spend the new year with her parents. However, she was afraid that the head nurse would arrange shifts for her, so she privately asked me to take over her duty for a few days. I agreed without saying anything. Now that the Head Guard has to arrange shifts, I have to remind her quickly, lest Little Zhang say that I'm a person who goes back on my word.
"By the way, Head Protector, I'll be on duty for Little Zhang this year. Let her go home for the New Year!”I hurriedly said with a smile on my face before the chief guard announced the duty list.
The guard looked at me with pity and finally nodded silently. The result of the shift arrangement was that I was on duty for three days: New Year's Eve, the second day of the second lunar month, and the fourth day of the fourth lunar month. Actually, I had already expected that I would be worth these few days because no one was willing to stay in the department to be busy during these few days every year. In the end, I could only force those junior nurses to do it.
The day before New Year's Eve, I went back to my mother's place and told her that I would be on duty for a few days during the Spring Festival. Her heart ached for me and told me to take care of my health. She also said that she would go to the hospital to deliver food to me. I directly rejected her kindness, the reason being that it was inconvenient for her to go out because she was old. Besides, there was food in the hospital canteen. It was just that there were fewer chefs during the New Year, and the quality of the food was not as good. I was puzzled that my mother didn't mention Gu Cheng at all this time, nor did she ask about our relationship. Seeing that my mother wasn't nagging as usual, I felt a little uncomfortable. I stayed at home for a few hours before rushing back to the hospital.
On New Year's Eve, every household was filled with laughter, couplets, and firecrackers. The adults and children were all very busy. The street where the hospital was located was filled with the sound of firecrackers. Colorful fireworks danced endlessly in the dark night. The outside world was so beautiful and wonderful, but I was trapped in this huge white tower, wearing a large nurse's uniform. I was like a terrifying ghost in the middle of the night, patrolling the sleeping patients one by one.
There weren't many patients in the hospital during the new year. The dim lights in the corridor looked gloomy. I walked quickly through the corridor alone and carefully checked every patient through the glass window outside the ward. I was afraid that those old and weak people would die of heart disease in their sleep. There are only a dozen patients in our department now, and I'll be done with my rounds very soon. When I returned to the office, I saw the doctor on duty with me eating the love supper that my wife had sent me. I couldn't help but feel hungry. He asked me to wash my hands and eat together, but I refused his kindness. It wasn't that I didn't want to eat, but when I saw this scene, I remembered the scenes when I was on duty in the past. Every time Gu Cheng would send a big bunch of snacks over and he would only leave after I was full. But today, I was alone. If I ate other people's food, I would definitely be so sad that tears would flow down my face. In order not to be stimulated by other people's happiness, I took a few medical records and sat down. I refused to write them down. At this moment, my phone rang. I thought it was Yanzi venting her conscience and calling to wish me a happy new year, but when I picked up my phone, it was a QQ message. "Happy New Year's Eve!"”I replied sadly,"What are you happy about?" I'm on duty!" He quickly replied,[What a bitter life!] Seeing this, my mood seemed to improve a lot. I replied cheerfully,"Without my hard work, there would be no human health!”
"Haha, I thank the angel in white on behalf of the whole world! Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten dinner, but I'm hungry again after working for a while. Now I'm just missing supper. You're not going to send it to me, are you? Haha!" After chatting with him countless times, we were no longer unfamiliar with each other. Joking was a common thing.
"I can't give it to you. Just make do with a bowl of instant noodles!”
"That's the only way!" I knew that the internet was virtual, but I felt a little sad for some reason. I had no idea who Silent Leaves was or where he was. How could such an ethereal person appear in my life and bring me delicious supper in the middle of the night?
"Then you should be on duty. I still have something to do, so I'll get off first!”Yeh Luo sent a smiley face and went offline. Every time he went online, he would only chat with me for a few words before leaving. I was used to it. After all, we were both adults. We had too many things to do, unlike those college students who spent 24 hours a day online. After putting down the phone, I felt even hungrier. I looked at the clock on the wall. It was already one o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, I had prepared instant noodles for emergencies. I was soaking instant noodles and listening to music on my phone when someone suddenly knocked on the door. I stood up warily and sighed at my bad luck. There must be another emergency patient. When I opened the door, it was actually a young man who delivered fast food. I was puzzled that they were still open at this time. It seemed that I wasn't the only one who was fighting on the front line on New Year's Eve.
"You're Ye Qiu, right? This is your fast food!"
"I'm Ye Qiu, but I didn't order anything! Are you mistaken?"
"It can't be wrong. Mr. Lu ordered this for you!”The young man handed me three lunchboxes. Before I could react, he turned around and left. I took the lunch box and closed the door of the department. My mind was in a mess. Mr. Lu? Could it be Lu Kai? Why was he so thoughtful? That's not right. Only Mom, Yanzi, and Ye Luo knew that I was on duty. Could it be that Yanzi's big mouth told Lu Kai? Actually, he should have sent me food. He didn't even come to visit me when I sprained my ankle last time. I placed the lunch box on the table and opened it to see that it was my favorite braised eggplant and fish-flavored shredded pork. I couldn't help but sigh at Yanzi's thoughtfulness. She even told Lu Kai what I liked to eat. I didn't think about eating anything when there was food. It was more important to fill my stomach. I wolfed down the lunch box in front of me and swept it clean. I touched my bulging stomach and secretly laughed that I wasn't far from happiness. As the saying goes, a hero can't pass the test of a beauty. No matter how loyal Lu Kai is, Yun Shu is no longer in his life, and I, a beautiful woman, am still hanging around in front of him. Can he really be cold-hearted? An eminent monk? It's not that he doesn't have feelings for me, it's just that he's a little retarded like me when it comes to relationships. He's half a time slower than the average person. As I thought about it, I couldn't help but laugh out loud in excitement. I took out my phone and wanted to call Lu Kai to express my gratitude, but every time I had an idea, something would happen. Mom actually called at the wrong time.
"Qiuqiu, are you done?"
"What time is it? Why aren't you sleeping?" I was a little anxious to hang up on Mom.
"I just finished watching the Spring Festival Gala. I can't sleep at home alone. You should rest when you have time. Don't tire yourself out!”
"Got it. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up!"
"What's the hurry? What do you want to eat when you go home tomorrow? I'll prepare it for you early!”
"Whatever. My phone is running out of battery. I'm hanging up!”Just now, my phone showed that it had run out of battery. Now, after nagging a few words with my mother, my phone actually ran out of battery and stopped. All my thoughts became bubbles. Lu Kai, Lu Kai! Why is it that everything in the world doesn't think highly of me when I'm dating you? Even my phone doesn't support me. It seems that if I want to be with you, I have to give up a thousand times more courage and endurance than others. I drooped my head and suddenly felt very sleepy, but the office was equipped with cameras. It was impossible to sleep openly. I could only take a professional book and spread it on the table, covering my face and slowly falling asleep.
