Chapter 9

If you were a man, I might think of you

Zhou Shi also rubbed his brow, sat up, loosened his tie, and said: "Come."

Is it him who has the problem, or is it myself who has the problem

... ...

In that moment, I did not know whom to call

The nearby Da Bao nodded vigorously, saying, "You should have notified me no matter what. If I were there, I would have definitely dealt with those bastards."

Ruan Qianqian glanced sideways and said, "How do you know so clearly?"

Her indifferent nature never made her feel that this was a problem; she did not need the so-called understanding and flattery from these people. The Earth does not stop rotating because of one person, and similarly, the Earth does not start rotating because of one person

It has always been this way, you have not noticed

Four men wearing baseball caps are sitting in the car

Just as Zhou Shi was leaving, Da Bao and Yu Weiwei rushed into the hospital room carrying large and small bags.

Dabao interjected: "Really, I thought with your usual indifferent nature, you would definitely push her away and run off by yourself."

Zhou Shi also deliberately slowed down his pace, following behind Xiao Nansheng.

... ...

"You can do anything, just get up quickly."

The cold wind was howling outside as a few people walked out, chatting as they went. When they passed by the inpatient department, Zhou Shi also looked up at a certain window on the second floor, where the light was still on

Ruan Qianqian did not turn back, leaning against the window, naturally putting her hand into her pocket to feel for her phone

... ...

... ...

Everyone considers her aloof, arrogant, and selfish

Zhou Shi also remained silent, holding onto Xiao Nansheng, and continued to walk forward without revealing any emotions. A silver-gray van was parked downstairs

Ruan Qianqian followed her gesture and looked over; the girl in the photo had a charming smile, her appearance was not outstanding but also not unattractive

"Forget it, no matter how fierce she is, she is still a girl." Yu Weiwei shot a glance at Dabao.

Xiao Nansheng also noticed and glanced at Zhou Shiyi, "It's already past 2 o'clock, and she hasn't slept yet? Should I go up and check?"

Da Bao also wore a苦脸; in just a few hours of this night, he lost so much just playing Dou Di Zhu.

Xu Sheng kicked the person on the sofa with his foot, "Hey hey hey— you said you would come to keep your brother-in-law company during the night shift, and now you are here sleeping soundly. Aren't you ashamed? Get up, get up, it's no fun playing Dou Di Zhu with just four people."

Ruan Qianqian glanced at her and said, "Who said I have seen through the worldly affairs?"

The school anniversary is coming up in a few days, I wonder what you will do then! Yu Weiwei spoke with a tone of exasperation, "Of all times for this to happen, it really is something!"

The nurse said: "Quite a few, one even pursued him, but he rejected her"

Dabao disagreed, "How can that be? Xuanxuan will miss me."

Da Bao and Xu Sheng did not notice the changes in the two of them and continued to chat in a casual manner

Who knows? Perhaps seeing that woman is beautiful, one might approach her first

She can take care of it, but only the person closest to her

The gaze is wandering, the speech is unclear, and there is deceit.

She patted the little nurse on the head and said, "Do you nurses at the station like him a lot?"

The young nurse took half a day to react, and when she finally did, her face turned red.

... ...

Zhou Shi was also leaning on the sofa sleeping, while the three were playing Dou Di Zhu.

Ruan Qianqian buried her head directly into the pillow, blocking out her ear-piercing voice. Yu Weiwei said little; with a cold glance, Da Bao immediately covered his mouth and fell silent

Zhou Shi was thoroughly awakened by the noise, lazily opened his eyes, and with a hint of annoyance at being disturbed, asked, "Do you want to play Texas Hold'em with me?"

Well, originally the nurse said that another person would be arranged to move in, but just now she said that person will not be staying, so I will have a room to myself

She opened her eyes slightly and, in a hazy and indistinct manner, saw that the window was open, no wonder.

Do not make a fuss, with your captivating way of speaking, do not come again next time

2:00 AM

Clearly, I remember having closed the window before going to bed, so how is it open again

To speak frankly

She suddenly felt a wave of discomfort in her chest and needed relief, casually saying: "If I can't go up, then I won't go up, it's just a program after all"

Brother, shall we go up and take a look

The biting cold wind surged in, and she was only wearing a thin hospital gown, unable to suppress a shiver as her gaze inadvertently swept over a shadow on the ground

He can't even handle one woman

In other matters, Ruan Qianqian listened quietly, only interjecting when she heard her mention Zhou Shiyi. Moreover, from the window of the nurse's station, one could see the hospital's basketball court, where she could almost always see Xiao Nansheng and Zhou Shiyi playing together every afternoon

Yu Weiwei said: "Hmm, I am exhausted, I just fell asleep. What happened with both of you? Why didn't you notify us earlier? Moreover, in a situation like yesterday, how could you just run off alone?"

As night fell, the outside was pitch black, the trees swayed wildly in the wind, and the windows were wide open, allowing the cold wind to rush in with a menacing howl. Ruan Qianqian was awakened in the middle of the night, feeling increasingly cold, as the blanket could not retain any warmth.

Ruan Qianqian did not provide an explanation, after all, it was merely her own speculation. If this matter is indeed related to Zhang Man, then it is not just a simple case of usury; perhaps both Chen Qibei and her father are victims.

Why has it taken so long to come down

What the hell

Her emaciated figure limped away, appearing somewhat lonely

Who says otherwise? Do you know what the boys in our class say about you? They say that our Miss Ruan, being such a selfless and unambitious person, is pure and ascetic. Anyone who wishes to pursue her must first renounce worldly desires...

She didn't take it seriously at all, "Does he have a girlfriend?"

Ruan Qianqian then began to feel amused

Although she is beautiful, she is indifferent to others and never takes the initiative to approach anyone unless necessary. As a result, other girls find her difficult to get along with and do not want to make things awkward for themselves. Most of the boys who want to pursue her are scared off by her aloofness and her formidable karate skills.

Xu Sheng rushed over this time, "Get up right now, I absolutely do not want to play any landlord with your brother-in-law! Damn it, four 2s with two kings, how am I supposed to play that! Get up, let's play Texas Hold'em."

The public expressed their agreement

Yu Weiwei and Dabao sighed in unison

In fact, they all do not know

A wisp of wind slipped in through the window, bringing with it a withered yellow leaf that landed at the foot of the bed

You are mistaken

She let out a sound, did not speak further, took one last look at the court, and then turned around, leaning on her cane as she walked away

Dabao shook his head and said, "You are just a girl in your early twenties, so why do you always have this look of having seen through the world?"

Hmm. Yu Weiwei sighed: "... Actually, everyone has misunderstood. They say you are indifferent and never care about others' feelings, but that is not who you are at all. Why can't you be a little more warm and approachable? That way, people won't misinterpret you."

She looked down at her feet, wrapped in plaster bandages, large and clumsy, a comical sight.

In fact, Ruan Qianqian does not need anyone to accompany her; she can entertain herself quite well. The inpatient conditions at Zhongli Hospital are quite good, with clean and bright wards, well-equipped facilities, and a rehabilitation center on the ground floor that is set up like a gym. On the third floor of the staff canteen, there is also a café and a lounge.

When Zhou Shi also felt tired, he would stand under the hoop with Xiao Nansheng, chatting and smoking. Occasionally, their gazes would collide at a certain point in the air. Generally, at that moment, he would brush off the ash from his cigarette and casually avert his eyes.

Xu Sheng almost forgot that during his university years, he designed several game software similar to Texas Hold'em, and he made quite a bit of money from it

Several people were accompanying Xiao Nansheng during the night shift at the hospital

Perhaps due to her personality, Ruan Qianqian had few friends at school, except for those in dormitory 507

Ruan Qianqian wanted to take the elevator to the basketball court, but after glancing at her feet, she had no choice but to give up

No... no... not much...

"... ... there is none, Dr. Xiao said there is none"

As soon as he entered, Dabaobao cried out in despair, "Oh, heavens, my darling... how could you do this? What on earth is wrong with you?"

Is that so? Xiao Nansheng's face showed a hint of doubt

Yu Weiwei looked around and discovered that this was a double occupancy room, but the other bed was empty. She asked, "Are you living alone?"

no response

Accompanied by the moonlight, a shadow passed by the window

... ...

She sent Dabaot to the city to buy a mobile phone, so that he could watch videos when there was nothing to do, daydream when he felt bored, and after enough daydreaming, go to the nurse's station to chat with the young nurse. The young nurse was also very talkative, often sharing stories about the hospital, or discussing Dr. Xiao, or other topics. In short, she had an endless stream of things to talk about.

Ruan Qianqian looked at the small leaf, feeling a sense of curiosity in her heart

Dabao and Yu Weiwei went back during the day to attend to the school anniversary matters, and then came to the hospital to keep her company in the evening

Yu Weiwei continued, "Abei came back crying and told us that you two ran into a dead end yesterday. When those people rushed in, and you protected her under your body, she really didn't expect..."

As I passed by the minivan, fragmented words drifted over with the sound of the wind

If Zhang Manru really wanted to harm her, why go through such a roundabout way?

It is quite late now, and apart from the nurses' station, most patients are asleep.

Suddenly, the lights went out

No, it is two.

Oh, how come she never noticed before that he plays basketball so beautifully

The nurse called from behind: "Where are you going? You still need to do rehabilitation later."

Who on earth is responsible for putting you in this state, oh my goodness

There is a sister at our nursing station who likes him very much, and she asked me to inquire with Doctor Xiao

That is quite good, as living with others is not very pleasant after all

She stretched her hands and feet, got up to fetch the cane by the bed, and limped over to the window. The moonlight hung hazily at the edge of the sky, casting a pale white glow that quietly slipped into the room, creating mottled shadows on the floor

Dabao said: "How about we go out to eat something first? I'm a bit hungry, and we can continue when we return"

It is a shadowy figure

Xiao Nansheng had an innocent look on his face

Is it still a problem with him from my side

Ruan Qianqian glanced at her, lacking seriousness, "Remove the character 'look'"

Why would there be someone in her room in the middle of the night

Hum

Zhou Shi also left, and Ruan Qianqian bit her teeth as she stared at his back

Greatly in agreement: "9494 --"

She didn't come to work today. The nurse pointed to a photo wall of nurses on the wall, saying, "That one, the one with the straight bangs."

A few people walked past the van, and Zhou Shi and Xiao Nansheng turned their heads simultaneously to glance at the window on the second floor

Do you not have any thoughts about him yourself

You ... ... a girl, how can you do this

Ruan Qianqian pointed at Dabao and said, "You should not speak"

... ...

Xiao Nansheng noticed that his expression was not very good when he came out, which further confirmed his thoughts. He walked over and patted him, his eyes filled with profound meaning, and asked: "Eleven, have I seen her somewhere before?"

It greatly disrupts the artistic style

Over time, the young nurse finally noticed something unusual and questioned, "Hey, why do you keep asking about Dr. Xiao's younger brother? Do you have a crush on him?"

Did she tell you?" Ruan Qianqian shook her head: "I didn't expect it either, I thought those people only wanted money.

"Which sister? Point her out to me." She looked around.

Zhou Shi also ignored him, turned over, and continued to sleep

Da Bao angrily said: "When did you become so desperate?"

Ruan Qianqian nodded and asked, "Has Abe gone back?"

Before you, I am a person devoid of desires, having seen through the worldly affairs. Yet, when I stand before him, I transform into a woman who is scheming and predatory like a wolf.

How is it outside? These matters have nothing to do with her
