Chapter 57

For the whole day, Xu Qin pays attention to the news of the fire accident of the bar at Liu Ye Tan’s batter.

Since the early morning meeting at the hospital, she doesn’t contact Song Yan, but she knows that the situation might be intense.

The fire accident has led to a lot of victims, basically it should not create a large-scale discussion but because of the explosion and firefighter’s dead and the background of the bar owner, it creates heated discussions.

A lot of netizens feel sorry for the firefighter’s dead, at the same time they are doubting the reason of the fire explosion, whether there’s something more behind it.

Xu Qin isn’t too interested to the arguments, she is waiting for the official clarification from the government.

By the time the clarification is out, she feels that she could guess Song Yan’s situation.

But in the mid-afternoon, there’s still no official news. She feels she is too worried.

Xiao Nan feels melancholy too. This morning she asks for a half day off and goes to the fifth hospital to visit Tong Ming. The time she is back her eyes are red like a rabbit.

Tong Ming has burn all over his body, in addition, his spleen is ruptured. The time he is conscious, he is in pain. Xiao Nan feels sorry for him. She retells the story to Xu QIn.

Xiao Bei comforts her and sighs. “It’s hard.”

Xiao Nan says: “I’m okay if someone scolds me, but I feel …….” She cries.

Xu Qin says calmly: “Why should you mind those comments, don’t worry.”

She says those words and the nurses are startled.

Xiao Xi says in a low voice: “Xu Yi Sheng (Doctor Xu) could to comfort people now? I don’t hear it wrongly right?”

Xu Qin: “It’s better for you to put your attention at your work rather than being idle.”

“Okay.”

Xu Qin puts on hold her thought about Song Yan. Song Yan said to her to not worry, he would handle everything well. He wouldn’t let her be disappointed.

She believes him.

Today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday. In this situation, he wouldn’t have a day off.

It’s weekend yet they couldn’t meet each other.

Xu Qin stands in front of the washing stand and washes her hands. She couldn’t help but to sighs. She wipes her hands and returns back to her office.

This time the emergency department is not too crowded, it’s a bit peaceful so when someone is shouting, ti could be heard so clearly.

Inside the Tong Yi Sheng (Doctor Tong)’s consultation section.

A man is shouting: “What kind of doctor you are, I’m in pain now, give me Dilantin.

Xu Qin looks over.

That man’s body is so skinny and it is shivering.

“Would you give it to me or not?

Tong Yi Sheng is a newbie, she has no experience. Looking at the man is turning fierce, she looks timid but she insists: “I couldn’t give it to you, I still don’t how how do you get your symptom….”

“I already told you that my head is so painful!” That man is losing control of his emotion and starts to slap on the table: “Give me Dilantin right now!”

Several doctors and nurses come over to take a look.

Xu Qin looks at that man and says to a nurse with a low voice: “He is taking drugs and wanting to make a trouble. Call the security.”

The nurse is startled and running away to look for a person.

“Give me Dilantin right now!” That man roars again and slaps the table again.

Tong YI Sheng’s face turns pale: “Calm down! Cool down! I would check you first——“

“Would you give it to me or not!” That man suddenly takes out a knife, Doctor Tong yells and takes step back. She starts to shiver.

That man’s eyes are red, he starts to flip everything out.

Xu Qin sees that the nurse is back after calling the security guard, she puts her hands inside her pocket and wants to leave. But Doctor Tong has lost her head out of fear. She notices Xu Qin and calls after her for help: “Xu Yi Sheng!”

That man seems to break out for drug addiction, he couldn’t find the medicine. He just wants to break up, he just turns his head and looks at Xu Qin. He starts to be fidgety and rushes toward Xu Qin: “Give me Dilantin!”

Xu Qin turns her body and wants to run.

But he is too fast, he could hold her shoulder and twists her arm. Xu Qin notices that the situation is getting bad. Xu Qin tries hard to break free, but then she sees the knife. The knife injures her hand.

Xu Qin is surprised.

The knife cuts her right hand’s wrist.

This time the security guards come over and hold that man.

That man keeps on yelling and yelling.

“Hurry up call director Guo!”

Everyone turns their head to look at Xu Qin. Xu Qin is holding her bleeding wrist. Her face is pale and she yells: “Find director Guo!”

Several doctors see her injured hand and all of them are surprised. They immediately give a call and several nurses take her to the operating room.

………….

………….

Xu Qin lays on the table, her forehead is placed on her left arm. Her face is full of cold sweat, she says nothing.

Doctor Guo looks at her injury, it’s not deep. It doesn’t hurt the nerve so it wouldn’t affect the way she works.

She is scared, yet she doesn’t dare to use anesthetic. Doctor Guo just lets her be. It’s a minor injury, she should be able to bear the pain.

After she is treated, Doctor Guo said: “Now it’s winter, it’s a bit dry. It would hardly inflamed. But you should be cautious , eat a bit of anti-inflammatory medicine. Don’t let it be wet. Don’t move your injured wrist.”

Xu Win nods and thanks him. She just leaves.

When she is out, she notices that professor Xu is sitting on the bench at the corridor. His face is sour, he seems to be waiting for her.

Xu Qin is startled, she starts responding. The professor should hear that she is injured.

“Professor Xu…”

The professor’s face is very bad, he stands up and walks toward the emergency exit. Xu Qin follows after him.

Professor Xu starts to lash out to her: “Do you know how important the hands are for surgeon? How could you be so irresponsible?”

Xu Qin was silent at first, she knows that he cares for her. But then she starts to explain: “I usually pay attention to it, this time it’s just an accident. I was about to go away but that man saw me.” She looks at his angry face: “It’s great that everything is okay.”

Professor Xu keeps a straight face and doesn’t look at her, he asks: “What did Doctor Guo say?”

“It’s just a minor injury. It’s okay. I’ll pay attention to it.”

“These days you should take a rest, your hand should be well first before you come back.” Professor Xu is getting ready to leave then he stops: “ Later on you need come over to fill in for the evaluation of the resident physician, it would be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

Xu Qin is startled; “I pass the evaluation?”

“You should, it’s not a surprising matter.”

“Professor.” Xu Qin calls after him and says in simple way: “I know that you are helping me, thank you.” She then bows to thank him.

“It’s not a help.” Professor Xu says, “It’s a rare thing to have someone as talented as you, the hospital should want to train you….. Xu Yi Sheng (Doctor Xu), you should remember for any profession the one that could help you all along is yourself.”

Professor Xu just goes away.

Xu Qin stands there silently for a while, she looks at her injured hand and then takes her phone to browse the news.

There’s still no news about the fire accident from government official.

She takes a deep breath and walks toward the window, she looks around.

The sun starts to set.

She returns back to the emergency department. Today she feels that her mood is fluctuating so rapidly.

She goes to the administration office to handle her sick leave. Before she gets off the work, she goes to talk with Xiao Xi and friends. Everyone is relieved that she is okay.

The time she is about to leave, the television starts to broadcast the news:

“…….. After the fire accident at Liu Ye Tan bar street created explosion, Ministry of Public Security formed investigation group urgently to dig out the truth. Through the night, they conducted the investigation of the fire accident, which had led the death of four people and thirteen people are injured. This afternoon, the investigation group held a press conference about this fire scene. They published a report. For their quick response, it shows how professional they are. They would manifest the great work of firefighters on scene, they would also give financial support for the dead firefighter. At the same time, they would investigate the firefighting department officials, who is suspected to receive a bribe. The Liu Yue Tan’s leader would be investigated as he is suspected to violate the rule……….”

People who are watching the TV start to discuss about it.

“I just told you right there’s something fishy about it, that greedy government official should be captured.”

“That investigation group is very great.”

“They are so fast!”

Xiao Nan is relieved: “Xu Yi Sheng, what you said is too true. This matter is progressing in a good way.”

Xu Qin smiles lightly and leaves.

He does what he said.

………..

At night, the courtyard is quiet and peaceful.

Xu Qin is flipping around on the bed. She waits for a long time, yet her phone is not ringing yet.

She knows that Song Yan is busy.

From the news, she clearly knows that he has done what he said. But she really wants to hear his voice. She wants to hear it directly from him.

She waits and waits, and she just falls asleep. When she is unaware about the time, her phone starts to vibrate.

She immediately wakes up and indeed it’s a message from Song Yan: “Are you asleep?”

“No.” She replies, her heart is beating so fast.

After several seconds, he calls her. She answers it and immediately asks: “Are you still busy?”

“No.” He says gently: “Why aren’t you asleep? Did you lie?”

“I feel that you would call me today?” She smiles. Because she just wakes up, her voice is a bit soft and raspy.

He laughs: “Did you watch the news?”

“Em.” She nods, her head brushes the pillow and creates the rustling noise.

He couldn’t help but to laugh: “I couldn’t see it if you nod, stupid.”

She smiles: “But you could hear it ah.” She flips her body again: “….. Quick tell me, how could you persuade the investigation leader?”

“The investigation leader also wants to solve this matter perfectly too. He told them that another way would have malpractice and hidden damage, then I gave him a perfect solution.” Song Yan says in simple way.

Xu Qin stays inside her blanket and smiles. She says: “That time you should be very handsome.”

He asks back: “Huh, have I ever not be handsome?”

“Huh!” She flips her body again and lays down on his bed.

Song Yan asks: “What about you? Did you encounter anything bad?”

She curls up and says: “I met a man, who had a break out because of drugs. He came to ask for Dilantin, he used knife and cut my hand.”

He sounds worried: “You are okay right?”

“I’m okay. It’s just a minor injury. I’m on my day off right now.” She says.

He listens to her voice and knows she is okay, but he says to her: “In the future if you see that kind of person, be away from him. Okay?”

“I know.” She says. His sound is so enchanting for her, her heart feels sweet.

She flips her body again and lays her head on the top of the pillow.

Song Yan listens to his movement.

“You are laying on your stomach?”

“Em. I’m laying on my stomach on your bed.”

“…….”

He takes a deep breath and imagines she is wearing a shortie on his bed. He sighs: “This time I should be at home and hugging you.”

She laughs and says: “You haven’t had asleep for the whole day right?”

“Em, I’m tired, I want to sleep….” He stretches his body and says: “I also want to sleep you.”

“But this week we couldn’t meet, we should wait till next week.”

“Maybe we could meet during work time.”

“It’s better to not meeting during work time.” She says quickly: “It might be something bad. Let’s not meet during work, at wait patiently for another weekend.”

“Okay. But for Tuesday, there’s the award ceremony for the last time earthquake rescue, would you go?”

“Ah, I would go.”

“That time tell me where you sit.”

Xu Qin’s eyes turn bright: “You could sit down with me.”

“Of course, I couldn’t.”

“Then why are you asking me?” She snorts.

He laughs; “I would steal a glance at you ah.”
