Chapter 1256: Chapter 1255: A Bit Chilly
Director Liu didn’t expect Ye Qiu to be so generous, not even charging the patient a single cent. The middle-aged man also seemed somewhat surprised.
Now Ye Qiu didn’t stay further; as he made his way out, he thought it was rare to be here, so he planned to find Wen Xin and go out for dinner with her.
Upon reaching the office and seeing Wen Xin inside, she naturally appeared delighted when Ye Qiu arrived.
She had heard that Ye Qiu had been coming to the Affiliated Hospital to see patients these past few days, but he would leave right after his consultations.
“Wen Xin, when do you get off work?”
“Shift change at six-thirty.”
Generally, Wen Xin worked the day shift, which wasn’t as tiring. Now, Ye Qiu saw it was only a little past four in the afternoon, so there was still plenty of time.
Ye Qiu sat directly opposite Wen Xin. Her job mainly involved arranging shifts for the female nurses, managing their leave requests, and patrolling the wards to check both the nurses’ work and the patients’ statuses.
Overall, it was certainly easier than being an ordinary nurse before.
Wen Xin knew that this transformation was because of Ye Qiu. Otherwise, she might still be the most poorly evaluated nurse, as she used to be too afraid to speak up.
…
After Ye Qiu left, the middle-aged man entered and looked at the young man, asking, “Son, how do you feel now?”
“Dad, I think I’m really cured!”
“Of course, patients treated by Dr. Ye, whether it’s cancer or other incurable diseases, all get fully cured.”
Liu Chun said.
If that’s indeed the case, the middle-aged man thought it was truly wonderful.
However, they couldn’t stay in this place for long. Without even conducting further examinations, they hurriedly paid the remaining hospital fees and rushed to complete the discharge procedures.
Once they were far from the Affiliated Hospital and returned to the unfinished building in the suburbs, they stood before a mirror and peeled off the layer of fake skin from their faces. The middle-aged man quickly turned into an old man, while the young man reverted to the middle-aged man’s appearance after tearing his disguise.
They never thought that using this method could deceive Ye Qiu and even have him save their lives.
The young man was remarkable, and both felt a bit fearful now.
“Senior brother, we really owe it to you this time! So, are we planning to look for that lady’s body again?”
They were talking about Xia Jing’s body, but last time Xia Jing wasn’t killed by the other party, and the middle-aged man was directly captured.
In this situation, they certainly didn’t dare to target Xia Jing again, even though she was a yin-life woman perfectly fitting their requirements.
“Let’s look for other targets, and put that aside for now.”
…
At six-thirty in the evening, after Wen Xin switched shifts with another head nurse, she changed out of her nurse’s uniform, and left the Affiliated Hospital with Ye Qiu.
As they got into the car, Ye Qiu asked, “What do you feel like eating?”
“I’m easy, whatever you want.”
Wen Xin thought it didn’t matter what she ate; it was more about who she was dining with.
Ye Qiu drove away from the Affiliated Hospital to a hot pot restaurant.
Entering winter, having hot pot was undoubtedly the most comforting.
Arriving at the hot pot restaurant, they went inside, and a waitress led them to a seat in the corner.
“Hello, is it just the two of you?”
The waitress asked.
“Yes, just the two of us.”
When it was time to order, Ye Qiu chose several types of meat dishes and a broth base, then asked the waitress to put in the order.
After the waitress left, the two started chatting, mostly about Wen Xin’s hospital gossip. Of course, it wasn’t her being nosy; she merely heard it from the other nurses. With such a big hospital filled with patients, their families, and doctors, gossip naturally abounded.
“Sir, here’s your clear broth, and all other dishes are served. Please enjoy.”
The waitress also brought over the utensils and left.
About fifteen minutes later, when the broth was boiling and ready, Ye Qiu and Wen Xin started eating and talking. Unexpectedly, just as they were about to finish, Xia Jing and her friend Xiaomei arrived; they were also there for hot pot and spotted Ye Qiu upon entry, so they approached.
“Dr. Ye, have you finished eating?”
Xia Jing approached with a waft of fragrance. Wen Xin gave Ye Qiu a curious look, unsure of what relationship he had with this beautiful woman.
“Just about.”
“Do you mind if we join you?”
“Go ahead, feel free to order some dishes yourselves.”
Indeed, that night when Xia Jing asked Ye Qiu to attend her high-class club, she had been thinking about finding the right person since then.
However, she realized it was like searching for a needle in a haystack. Xia Jing also knew that with her situation, she might end up lonely her whole life.
Xia Jing called the waitress, and after she and Xiaomei ordered a few dishes, they started eating.
Soon, Xia Jing found Wen Xin somewhat familiar.
“I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
Ye Qiu had many beautiful women around him, like the Shen Xingru sisters. In her casual outfit rather than a nurse’s uniform, Wen Xin felt familiar.
When Xia Jing remembered, wasn’t this lady the same who danced the tango with Ye Qiu at her high-class club that night?
“Hi, I’m a nurse at the Affiliated Hospital.”
Wen Xin said.
So she was a nurse; no wonder she was with Ye Qiu.
Seeing Wen Xin was full, and there wasn’t much to chat about with Xia Jing, Ye Qiu called the waitress to settle the bill. But Xia Jing was determined not to let Ye Qiu treat them this time.
“Dr. Ye, let me treat you.”
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Wen Xin still didn’t want to return to the dormitory so soon when they got into the car. Thus, Ye Qiu drove to the riverbank.
Upon reaching the riverside, they got out of the car. Wen Xin, wearing not much, felt a bit cold as the river breeze hit her.
“Ye Qiu, I feel a bit chilly.”
Wen Xin said.
Ye Qiu wasn’t wearing much either, but he wasn’t afraid of the cold. Hearing her say that, he pulled Wen Xin closer and hugged her by the riverbank. Wen Xin’s whole body seemed to soften, but for some reason, the warmth from Ye Qiu felt very comforting.
As Wen Xin nestled in Ye Qiu’s embrace and he kissed her hair and ears, she felt even more soft and feeble, whispering, “How about we don’t go back tonight?”
