Chapter 17: A Night in the Hospital
I was fantasizing about it, when suddenly the door of the ward was pushed open, and a female nurse wearing a white hat, a bright white nurse's uniform, and a wooden notebook in her hand walked in.
"Are you Zhao Xiaowen?" The little nurse asked.
"Yes!" I responded.
"Here, it's a thermometer!" She handed me the thermometer and said, "Hold it under your armpit, take your temperature, and I'll pick it up later." With that, she turned and walked out.
I put the thermometer under the warm armpit, so cold feeling, I shivered, but this cold feeling was only a few seconds, and after a while, the cold thermometer was warmed by my body temperature, about ten minutes or so, the little nurse who had left before pushed the door and walked in.
"Is it enough? Measure it and give it to me! She said to me.
I slowly took the thermometer from under my armpit and handed it to her.
She took the thermometer and looked at the light and said, "You didn't measure it just now, the degree on this thermometer is wrong, measure it again!" β
The little nurse handed me the thermometer again, and I thought, no, isn't this just another way for me to enjoy the cold feeling?
I reluctantly took the thermometer and took my temperature again!
"This time it's going to be clamped, it's not good for a while, and it's going to be measured again!" The little nurse lost her words and turned away!
I thought to myself, how could it be? Shouldn't there be any problems just now?
About ten minutes later, the little nurse walked in again.
"Take out the thermometer and show me!" The little nurse walked up to me and reached out and asked me for a thermometer!
I slowly took the thermometer from under my arm socket and handed it to her, she took the thermometer and shone it into the light, and suddenly looked down at me without saying anything.
"What's wrong?" I asked, surprised.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" The little nurse suddenly asked.
"What on purpose? Could it be that the number on the thermometer is wrong? I asked, confused.
"What do you say?" The little nurse looked up at me and said.
"But I really took my temperature just now!" I said hurriedly.
"Really? I don't believe it, I can't take your temperature? The little nurse said angrily.
I saw the little nurse shake the thermometer violently with one hand, and the other hand reached out to me, pulled my collar, and then forced the thermometer under my armpit, and at the same time pressed my arm tightly with her hand.
I was speechless by her sudden movements!
After a while, I dared to raise my eyes to look at her, she was now on her knees on the hospital bed, completely riding on me, only to see her staring at me fiercely with two big watery eyes, so close, it made my heart a little creepy!
"You, what are you going to do here?" I whispered slowly.
"Take your temperature!" The little nurse responded.
"How can you take someone's temperature like this?" I said confusedly.
"Who asked you to take your temperature twice in a row and didn't measure it well, don't come to something hard, I'm afraid I'm busy taking your temperature this night!" The little nurse shouted at me.
I felt her spit all over my face.
I was about to wipe the little spit on my face with my hand, when suddenly the little nurse reached out and helped me wipe it away.
"I'm sorry! Spit in your face! The little nurse's tone softened.
"It's okay! Look at the way you look, it looks like you just graduated from college! Listening to her softened tone, I began to ask.
"How do you know?" The little nurse asked curiously.
"Judging by your age and looks, especially your experience as a nurse!"
"Oh? Am I inexperienced? The little nurse asked.
"That's right! Feel like an intern! I looked at her and said.
"You can't take your temperature, your eyesight is not bad, I'm indeed an intern!" The little nurse said.
"That's pretty much it, it's not necessary to take the patient's temperature like this, and when someone comes in, I thinkβ" I paused and continued, "At first glance, it's an inexperienced intern!" β
"You don't have to worry about this, that's how I act!" The little nurse raised her body slightly and said.
"Almost, huh?" I asked.
"No! It's only been eight minutes, and two minutes to go! The little nurse said.
I thought to myself, is it necessary to time so accurately?
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Why are you asking for my name? Do you want to complain about me? She asked, surprised.
"How so? You are so conscientious and responsible, how can I complain about you? I just want to get to know you and make friends with you! β
"I'll tell you my name, but you must not complain about me, it will affect my regularization, my name is Su Su, Su who woke up, Su who is without makeup, what about you?" The little nurse said with some caution.
I smiled and said, "My name is Zhao Xiaowen!" Nice to meet you! Rest assured, you are a good nurse, how can a good nurse be complained? β
The little nurse also smiled and said, "It's time!" She took out the thermometer under my armpit, shone it into the light, and then climbed off of me and said, "Normal temperature!" β
Then she picked up the wooden board record book that she had brought in before, wrote something on it seriously, and shook the thermometer vigorously after writing, and then said: "I'm on duty tonight, if anything happens, there is a white button above the head of the bed, as long as you press it, the corresponding bed number bell in the duty room will ring, and I will rush over as soon as possible, remember?" β
I glanced at the little nurse and nodded, "Remember, don't worry!" β
After the little nurse left, I lay quietly on the bed alone and fell asleep unconsciously, and when I woke up, I didn't know what time it was, and I felt quite thirsty.
I got up from the bed and carried the water bottle in the room, and found that it was empty, I wanted to press the button at the head of the bed and ask the little nurse to help me bring some water, but thinking about this little thing, it is better not to trouble her, maybe she is busy, maybe there are more people who need help more than me, I saw a few paper cups on the tabletop at the bedside, and I picked up one of them and walked out of the ward to find water to drink.
In order to prevent I from not being able to find my ward for a while, I deliberately looked up at my room number when I left the ward door, "No. 2212", why are there so many "2"? No wonder I'm so "2", even going to someone else's house as a guest will be smashed and seriously injured, it seems that I am really "2", I joked to myself.
After going out, I felt that the scale of this hospital is still very large, the deep corridor in front of the ward door is bottomless, whether it is left or right, I can't see the end at a glance, I don't know where to go to find water to drink, I think I can only choose a random direction to go, looking at the deep corridor one by one closed ward doors, I am embarrassed to knock on the door to borrow water from them.
At this time, I saw that the safety indicator was installed under the wall of the corridor, and with the direction of the safety indicator guide, I chose the direction to the left, and walked forward step by step, and when I was halfway through, I saw the nurse duty desk, which turned out to be not at the end of the corridor, but embedded in the middle of the corridor wall.
I guess that in the middle of the corridor to the right, there should also be a nurse's desk that is also embedded in the corridor wall, so that the two will have a symmetrical beauty, and at the same time, the wards on both sides can also be taken into account.
When I got to the nurse's desk on duty, the first thing I saw was the clock hanging on the wall, and it was already half past eleven in the middle of the night, and I thought to myself that I had slept for a long time just now.
I raised my eyes and looked around, and suddenly found something that I didn't know before, in fact, doctors or nurses on night duty are not like vigils that do not sleep all night, but there is a room next to the duty desk that is specially prepared for doctors or nurses, and at night, if there is nothing to do, the doctor or nurse will go to this room to rest.
I saw two water bottles on the ground in the duty desk, and quickly walked in and poured a glass of water, when I looked up, through the window, I saw a blue mosquito net hanging on the bed in the room, and two people were sleeping in the mosquito net, and they were hugging each other sideways, I took a closer look, and the one sleeping in front was the little nurse Su Su who helped me take my temperature, and there was a boy sleeping next to her I hadn't seen, I didn't know, maybe it was a doctor in the hospital, maybe it was her boyfriend.
As for what kind of relationship there is between the two of them, it's not something that I, an outsider, can guess casually, no matter what, if men and women can sleep together, the relationship must be extraordinary!
I thought to myself, whether he was a doctor at the hospital or her boyfriend, they were bold enough.
I sat on the chair on the nurse's duty desk with a glass of water, first drank a glass slowly, and after drinking, I poured another glass, and then walked to ward "No. 2212" step by step with the glass of water.
The corridor was quiet, I walked and observed, I saw "No. 2212" ward, I turned and walked in, just entered the door, I was so frightened that I almost dropped the paper cup full of water in my hand to the ground.
At some point, there was another person in the room, and it was a woman, she was lowering her head, her hair was coiled, her figure was somewhat familiar, and because she was facing away from me, she couldn't see her face clearly.
"Who are you?" I asked, surprised.
She heard my question and quickly turned to look up at me.
"Hong Ye?" I was surprised and said, "Didn't you go back?" Why did it suddenly come back again? β
She coiled her hair, clamped it with a clip, then stood up and said with a smile: "After I went back, I couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, I thought about a lot of questions, and I felt that I still couldn't rest assured, so I got up and took a taxi." β
"I see, thank you for your concern!" I sighed and continued to walk in with a glass of water, and I suddenly found that Hong Ye's hair was very cute, tender and a little bit of classical beauty.
"That's not necessary, when I first came in, I found that you were not in the room, I touched the quilt and it was still hot, I knew that you shouldn't have gone far, maybe go to the bathroom or do something, I took a shower after I went back, and washed my hair by the way, this hair hasn't dried much yet, I had to tidy up my hair while waiting for you to come back." Hong Ye said with a smile.
"I just went and poured a glass of water!" I said.
"Running out of water in a water bottle?" Hong Ye asked in surprise.
"Yes!" I nodded.
"I'm going to get a bottle!" She said.
"It's so late, where are you going to fetch water?" I asked, confused.
"Don't worry! There is a boiling water room at the end of the corridor, I will go and fetch water, and I will come in a while! With that, she went out with a thermos.
After she went out, I took a sip of water with a paper cup, and then put it on the bedside cabinet, and continued to lie on the hospital bed.
After putting the thermos away, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me.
Seeing that she kept looking at me, I asked suspiciously, "What are you watching me do?" βγ
Hong Ye thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that there are some things I don't know how to say to you." She looked a little embarrassed, she looked away from me, and then turned back to look at me.
"What's the matter? You say! I asked.
"That day, my family knocked on the door to find your residence, I saw your residence, you live in the same room with your senior, right?" She began.
"Yes!" I nodded.
She continued, "If I remember correctly, you said you were just staying with your seniors for a while, and when you got a job, you had to find a place to live again, right? β
"Yes! I said it. I continued to nod and said, "I'm only staying there for a while, so it's impossible to stay there for a long time, but what's wrong with that?" β
"I think so, since you want to spend money to rent a house to live in, it is better to live with me, first, I will make amends to you and exempt you from rent, and second, my three-bedroom house happens to have an empty room that no one lives in, and it is empty, so it is better for you to live, I don't know if you dislike my place?"
"How so? It's too late for me to be happy. I thought to myself that this is a pie falling from the sky, just to solve the problem that I am about to find a house to live in, and save a lot of expenses, it is really a relief in the snow, my heart is happy, and quickly said: "Think about it, I can even live in the place where the senior, your place is much stronger than the place where my senior lives, how can I dislike it?" β
Hong Ye nodded with a smile and said, "Then it's decided, after being discharged from the hospital tomorrow, you will move directly to my house." β
"Okay!" I smiled and nodded.
"It's not too early, you are a patient and need to rest quickly." She pulled the quilt off the hospital bed and covered it for me.
"What about you?" I asked.
"I, you don't have to worry, I still have to take care of you, if you are really tired and want to sleep, I can just take a nap next to me for a while." She said with a smile on her face.
"Alright! No, you can just sleep by the bed for a while. I responded.
"I will!" She nodded.
Then I closed my eyes, and a feeling of sleepiness gradually hit, but I never fell asleep, maybe because the light was always on, and I could feel the slightest movement in the outside world.
At first, it was quiet, but after a while, I heard the sound of Hong Ye getting up and walking around the ward, then the sound of pouring water, the sound of drinking water, and the sound of putting a water cup, and then she sat on the edge of the bed again, and after about a quarter of an hour or so, she lay down next to me gently and slowly, and her movements seemed to be afraid of disturbing me.
Then I could feel her hair close to me, my nose could smell the fragrance of her hair, it was refreshing, and then there was silence all around, and after a while, I could clearly feel the sound of a slight but even breathing next to me, and I knew that Hong Ye was asleep next to me.
I don't know if she has covered the quilt, I want to move my hands and feet, but I unexpectedly find that I can't move at all, my consciousness is clear, but my brain can't control my body, just like this, with this seemingly asleep, in fact, the consciousness is very clear The wonderful feeling lasted until dawn.
