A pack of milk powder, late-night chatter

Upon hearing the nurse mention that the money might be insufficient, the young man's expression darkened once more as he said, "Then... what should we do? That is all my assets..."

After changing clothes in the restroom, the young man, holding his shirt and that jacket, walked back to the front of the operating room and sat on the long bench, lost in thought. He stared blankly at a wall clock, which was moving neither fast nor slow; at that moment, both the hour and minute hands pointed to the twelve.

Yuwen Songyue became increasingly confused. After waiting for the nurse to finish calling, he asked, "Am I only thinking of myself? What about my child? Do I have a premeditated plan? What exactly are you talking about? I don't understand anything at all"

By the way, is it alright for you to be idling around here? Don't you have work to do? This time, it was the young man who spoke up

So, soon you will be going to university, right? There is less than a week left. That's wonderful... I wanted to take the high school entrance exam three years ago and then go to university. However, my grades were not sufficient, so I could only attend a vocational school, and now I work as a nurse...

"Hello, why not wipe yourself down? And while you're at it, change that shirt of yours; otherwise, not only the little princess you brought along, but you might also end up needing a number here," said a nurse, approaching the young man sitting in front of the operating room door with a towel and a hospital gown, smiling at him.

After a long while, the young man slowly uttered a phrase: "I hope... she will be alright..."

"Shall we chat?" The young man pointed to the tip of his nose and said, "What is there to talk about? With - illustrations - books"

Ah! I am so sorry, so sorry... I didn't expect it to be like this... So... what are your plans for the future?

Oh... I see. Although you tend to act impulsively without considering the consequences, overall, you are quite responsible. I hope my future boyfriend can be as responsible as you are... Haha, don't get the wrong idea! By the way, have you ever thought about sending your little princess to her mother's house?

Her mother? I do not know. I am not even aware of where she lives

Amidst the nurse's incessant chatter, the young man began to zone out once again. This was almost unbearable for the highly spirited nurse! She pushed him once more, but this time it was clearly too forceful, causing him to fall off his chair.

Then just send it back to your hometown! Balancing work and study while taking care of a child is truly not an easy task. Even if it is a product of your momentary impulse, the elderly might not mind it.

The nurse, seeing that she had been talking to herself for so long, appeared somewhat displeased. She pushed him and said, "Hey! You, man, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

Once again, it is merely two simple words. At this moment, it can be confirmed that this young man has completely disregarded the nurse's words, not absorbing a single word.

At this point, it was the nurse's turn to feel astonished. However, she expressed strong discontent regarding Yu Wensong's final remark, "Why should I take care of her?" She said, "Fine! I originally thought you were a man of feelings and loyalty, but it turns out you are just like what others say! Men only care about themselves! Once they are fine, they neglect others, even their own children! No wonder you became a father at such a young age; it seems that was not a momentary impulse, but rather premeditated!"

The young man glanced at the nurse, and upon seeing the two items in her hand, he said "thank you"

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" The nurse did not seem to leave after that; she sat beside the young man with a smile, seemingly quite taken with his dazed expression

Hmm... are you saying... hmm? Upon hearing this, Yu Wensong suddenly felt that something was amiss. He asked, "Am I supposed to send her back to her hometown? Why? Why should I send her back to her hometown? And also, why should I take care of her?"

"Don't talk nonsense... You must have many interesting stories to share. Why not tell me some of those stories? By the way, I'll return this to you first." As she spoke, the young nurse took out a handmade cloth pouch, which was indeed the young man's wallet.

The young man, without realizing it, bumped his head and got up from the ground, loudly questioning: "What are you doing!"

The nurse chuckled softly, hugging her knees, and said: "Don't worry! With Director Sun personally wielding the knife, even if the King of Hell himself were to come, he wouldn't be able to take that little princess's soul away."

... Yes, it used to be. However, it has not been for the past two months. Now that thing is almost like a piece of waste paper

Hmm? Medical expenses? Ah! Are you referring to that wallet? Although the specifics will only be known after Director Sun issues the invoice, it currently seems that with those two red bills inside... it might not even be enough to buy medicine...

Watching the young man take it and place it in his embrace, the nurse continued, "By the way, I just found your ID card in your wallet. Your surname is Yuwen? And your given name is Song?"

Plans? I have no plans. My hometown is in the mountains, and it is impossible to send me much money to continue my studies. However, I will not give up; next year I will retake the exam. During this time, I will work to save tuition while studying.

The young nurse pouted and said, "I’m not doing anything. Who told you not to listen to others chatting? I already mentioned that waiting is still waiting; chatting makes the time pass more quickly."

The nurse noticed a look of concern on the young man's face and said, "Oh? Are you worried about your little princess? Hehe, it's quite rare to see someone like you in this day and age. Very responsible of you! What about the child's mother?"

At this point, Yu Wensong finally understood what had happened. He smiled and sat down, saying: "No, you misunderstand. I am not her father, nor am I a relative. I do not know that infant, nor do I know her parents. She was found by me on my way home after finishing work."

The nurse chuckled twice, jumped up from her chair, and said loudly: "You don't need to worry about this! Our hospital's emergency measures are quite good according to the *manual*. As long as someone passes through that big door, my watch will ring. I'm just an intern, mostly responsible for reception and giving directions. It's not a big job. Most of the inpatients have already been discharged, and the few remaining are healthy enough to take down a bull! Anyway, since I'm just sitting around, why don't you keep me company and chat? Time is just waiting anyway. I must tell you, if you hadn't come tonight, I would have had to stare at Director Sun's terrifying face all night! Boo hoo... I heard that several interns in the past were so scared after working night shifts with Director Sun that they were bedridden the next day! How about that? Scary, right!"

With a push from someone, the young man seemed to finally come to his senses. He glanced at the nurse and casually said a couple of words: "Hmm... yes, I'm listening. What's the matter?"

Is that so

The young man nodded

Seeing the young man react, the nurse's expression softened slightly as she said, "Hey, it's pouring rain outside. Why didn't you take a taxi? You got completely soaked. What if you catch a cold? That would be even worse"

Hehe, why not talk about you instead

The young man touched the bump on his head, glanced at the red light above the operating room, and sat down helplessly, saying, "Alright, alright, what do you want to talk about?"

Her mother? The young man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know..."

The young man remained silent for a moment, and just when the nurse thought he had fallen into a daze again, he suddenly spoke up. However, he posed a question that left her perplexed: "Is the medical fee... still enough? And - picture - book"

Ah... I always thought that only men would abandon their wives and children in this world. I never expected that even among women there are those who do... Alas, what a pity. The nurse seems to be listening to a very interesting story, her face reflecting a look of curiosity.

The young man replied faintly, "Is that so..." Looking at his almost dazed expression, it was unclear whether he had truly understood or was simply responding off-topic.

Hmph! Fine! You don't understand, but I do! Who is in the operating room if not your daughter? Becoming a father at such a young age, you can't be considered a good person either

The two individuals had been sitting in the chair for nearly ten minutes when the young nurse seemed unable to hold back any longer. She said to the young man, "However, you are quite an interesting person. You didn't register, didn't ask for a consultation, and just barged into Director Sun's emergency room! You even cried out loudly, asking Director Sun to save your little princess. Since I started my internship, this is the first time I've seen Director Sun look so flustered!"

Upon hearing the nurse mention the word "university," the young man...! ... No, Yu Wensong's expression actually became even more unpleasant! After a long while, he quietly said: "No... you are mistaken... I... I will not attend university, because... I failed the university entrance examination..."

Oh... you really have the surname Yuwen! How interesting, I have finally met someone with a compound surname! Yuwen... Yuwen... this surname sounds quite pleasant. Ah! By the way, are you a student? I just found a student ID in your wallet.
