Chapter 5 - Inner thoughts. As Jiang Xiaoshuai was sending a patient to the door, he saw two familiar silhouette not a far distance away. The muscles on his face flickered slightly. Damn! It's not even 3 hours since he left. Why did she send him back so soon?
This time round, Yue Yue was not pleased. She simply shoved Wu Qiqiong onto Jiang Xiaoshuai's body and walked off.
Jiang Xiaoshuai supported Wu Qiqiong into the room. Wu Qiqiong whined; It's a pathetic sight.
"Say.. buddy. I was kidding with you, why did you smash your head again? I don't think you should go as far as that if you missed me right?"
Wu Qiqiong grimaced, "She still wants to break up with me."
After cleansing his wounds, Jiang Xiaoshuai gave him some anesthetic and stitched up his wound. In order to relief Wu Qiqiong's anxiety, the two of them started with a little chat.
"What is it this time?"
Wu Qiqiong replied weakly, "complains about my stinginess."
Jiang Xiaoshuai burst out laughing.
"Do you think I'm stingy?" Wu Qiqiong felt hurt. "I just started my job two years ago and my wage is low. But I have never mistreated her. She wants an iPhone, I skimp and save for 3 month, and merely managed to squeeze out 5,000 CNY to get her one. She sets her eyes on a cosmetic package. More than 1K. I sold my own phone to get her that. I have been using this phone for 5 years now. Even after it had dropped into the toilet four times, I'm reluctant to change it."
"If you were to say that, I think your girlfriend made a wise choice." said Jiang Xiaoshuai.
Wu Qiqiong was so furious his eyes are about to explode. "Why?"
Jiang Xiaoshuai downplayed, "so that you can stop torturing yourself!"
Wu Qiqiong was boiling inside. He moved his head slightly which affected his wound. He grimaced in pain.
"Enough! Just stay there!"
Jiang Xiaoshuai adjusted Wu Qiqiong's head to an upright position and stared at him. Wu Qiqiong actually looked really good. He was fat when he first came here, and it twisted his facial features. Now that he's much slimmer, his features stands out. It is barely considered as above average. Although it's a pretty farfetched match for that goddess, but he seriously doesn't need to torture himself to such an extent.
"Doctor, how long will I take to heal this time?"
"It's not as serious, so if full recovery, probably one month."
For this entire month, Wu Qiqiong came to the clinic for prescription daily. After some time, the two grew close and Wu Qiqiong started telling him everything about himself.
"There's 3 of us children at home. I have 2 older sisters. My eldest sister has already passed 40 years old. Her kid is in high school now. My second sister got married to the Southern part of China. She just delivered a son this year. My father had Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) and was gone two years ago. I'm the third child of my family. An apple of my parents' eyes. They will shower me with all the good things. My second sister was always displeased because of that."
"I had been very promising since young. Always top in class. Everyone is proud of me around my neighbourhood. They're always saying 'you can never find another good kid like that third child of that family'. I have never done a single bad thing in my life. I'm good in school too. And once I'm home, I will help my mother with house chores. I remember that there's no scanner in bus when I was young. There was once I was squeezed out of the bus before paying the fares. I chased it all the way from one terminal to the other. After I paid for my fares, I strode home freely."
"I have never skipped a single class in university. I will receive scholarship annually. There was once my girlfriend asked me to skip class to accompany her shopping. I refused. The first time that we got a room, I laid in bed and watched TV for the entire night. Even when she wants to embrace me, I didn't messed with her at all. After I got a job, my colleagues are always taking things from the office home, I will never do that. If it's mine I will take everything, if it's not, I don't even touch it."
After listening to Wu Qiqiong's endless talking, Jiang Xiaoshuai couldn't help and exclaimed.
