Chapter 52: Can I Go Up?
After Liu Xiaoai woke up in the morning, Qi Huange had already left, and there was a bought breakfast on the table, xiaolongbao, tofu brain, and a plate of small pickles, a typical Chinese breakfast, and a note next to it: "I went to work, remember to eat breakfast, it cooled down again today, and I went out and wore a second set of beige down jackets on the left hand side of the wardrobe." โ
Standing in place for a while, Liu Xiaoai sat down and ate one bite at a time, obviously thinking that the tears were gone, but her eyes were still moist.
At seven o'clock, Liu Xiaoai finished eating and was about to change her clothes and go out, opened the wardrobe, hesitated slightly, and picked up the second set of beige down jackets on the left-hand side, this one is thicker than yesterday's clothes, but she ......
Liu Xiaoai shook her head and drove some distracting thoughts out of her mind.
After two classes in the morning, Liu Xiaoai received a call from Yu Wei's parents, and the second elder insisted on inviting her to dinner, but Liu Xiaoai couldn't get rid of it, so she had to agree.
At noon, Qi Huange sent a message: "Do you want to have lunch together?" โ
Liu Xiaoai thought about it and didn't reply.
After a while, Qi Huange called, Liu Xiaoai hesitated, walked out of the office and picked it up.
"Xiao Ai, do you want to eat together at noon?" Qi Huange didn't seem to be affected by Liu Xiaoai's failure to reply to text messages.
"No, I have something." Liu Xiaoai's voice was faint.
Qi Huange was stunned for a moment when he heard Liu Xiaoai's tone, and then said with concern: "Xiaoai, are you in a bad mood?" Isn't it too tired? โ
Hearing Qi Huange's concerned voice, Liu Xiaoai didn't know why her heart became irritable: "It's okay." She said impatiently.
Qi Huange was silent for a while: "Then I'll ...... at night" She wanted to say that I would pick you up for dinner, but thinking of the time she got off work last night, she changed her words: "Then we'll see you in the evening." โ
"Let's talk about it." Liu Xiaoai hung up the phone and leaned against the cold tile wall and breathed heavily.
Qi Huange silently put the phone back in the pocket of his white coat, his brows furrowed, and he didn't understand what was wrong with Xiao Ai.
"Doctor, doctor, we are Yu Wei's family, how long does Yu Wei need to stay in the hospital?" A middle-aged man's voice interrupted Qi Huange's thoughts.
Qi Huange's impression of Yu Wei was still relatively deep, she turned her frowning expression just now, and a smile appeared on her face, "You are Yu Wei's father, right?" Yu Wei is arm bone-bone, punctured blood vessels, but fortunately did not hurt the nerves, currently need to cooperate with our treatment to stay in the hospital for a week of observation, no complications can be discharged, but two weeks later to the hospital to remove the plaster, you don't have to worry, as long as he cooperates with our treatment, he will get better soon. โ
"Oh, thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor." Yu Wei's father nodded gratefully.
Qi Huange laughed: "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank Yu Wei's teacher, she came to the hospital with Yu Wei yesterday, and she also went through the hospitalization procedures for Yu Wei, and now such a responsible teacher is rare." "When it comes to Kwa Liu Xiaoai, she has never been stingy.
"Hey," Yu Wei's father replied, "We know, why don't we invite his teacher to dinner at noon today, so we have to thank her." โ
After Qi Huange heard this, his heart was disappointed for a while, it turned out that Xiao Ai's matter was this...... But she quickly smiled: "Really? Then go quickly. โ
"Thank you, doctor, then let's go, thank you." Yu Wei's parents walked a few steps and turned back to Qi Huange to say thank you.
Qi Huange waved to them, and just as she was about to go back to the office, she heard another emergency patient in the hall, and she hurried over, during working hours, she didn't have time to think about other things.
At noon, Qi Huange sat in the hospital cafeteria and symbolically ate a few bites of food and couldn't eat.
"What's wrong? Unappetizing hospital meals? Dr. Qu Nan came over and asked with a smile, she was another female doctor in the emergency department: "I couldn't eat when I first came, but it's good to get used to it." โ
Qi Huange smiled: "No, I'm not hungry." โ
"I'm tired all morning, how can I not be hungry," Qu Nan said while eating: "I heard that our emergency department also has to implement a three-shift system, and now it's too tiring to be in black and white, I've been in the emergency department for two years, and my girlfriends say that I look a lot older than before, alas, ......"
"Doctor Qu doesn't look old at all," Qi Huange said politely, and then frowned: "Let's work three shifts...... The director didn't mention it this morning. โ
"Hey, you definitely don't know our director's temper when you first came, everything will not be announced until he is ready, I heard Nurse Xiao Li say that she saw the director being on a shift when I came just now, I guess, I will definitely have a meeting to talk about this before getting off work." Qu Nan ate two mouthfuls of rice tightly and wiped his mouth: "I've eaten, you hurry up and eat some more, otherwise you won't be able to hold it in the afternoon, I'll go first." โ
"Let's go together." Qi Huange stood up and said with a smile: "I'm really not hungry, let's go." โ
The emergency department is different from other departments, there are patients with different symptoms sent in all the time, and the nerves of emergency doctors are tense all the time, and such high-intensity and long-term work is also one of the reasons for the high turnover rate of emergency departments.
Within an hour in the afternoon, Qi Huange rescued five patients, an old man who committed suicide by quarreling with his wife and drinking โกโก, a junior high school girl who cut her wrists because her parents did not agree with her boyfriend's relationship, a little boy who fainted from food poisoning, a heart patient who stopped breathing because of cardiac arrest, and an old man who had difficulty breathing due to pulmonary edema and spit white phlegm. The period also included the sudden condition of some patients lying in hospital beds.
The high load made Qi Huange forget the time, and the director said that she only looked at the time when the meeting was held, and it was already half past seven in the evening, she sighed, cheered up and went to the office.
"In order to improve the rescue rate of our emergency department and the quality of everyone's rest, starting tomorrow, our emergency department will also implement a three-shift system, 3:00-11:00 is the morning shift, 11:00-19:00 is the middle shift, 19:00-3:00 is the evening shift, the electronic version of the schedule I have sent to the WeChat group, the form I posted here, everyone remember to take a look, the shift system has changed but the shift system is still the same." Director Xue shook his spirits.
Coming out of the office, Qi Huange and Qu Nan went to the ward to prepare for the shift, Qu Nan asked about the patient's situation and wrote it down in the ward round: "Fortunately, we are on the middle shift tomorrow, and we can sleep lazily tomorrow morning, if it is the night shift, we will definitely leave this tonight." โ
"The director won't be so cruel to us," Qi Huange rolled a patient's eyelids: "Come, look up, good, very good," she wrote in the notebook: "You recover well, and you can be discharged from the hospital after two days of treatment with us." โ
"Thank you, doctor."
Qu Nan pouted: "Then you didn't see the director cruel to us, but I went to a whole class and a day shift in a row, and I just fell asleep on the floor when I got home, fortunately it was summer, if it was winter, I would definitely freeze to death, I see, the director just saw that you were there, so that we could be in the middle shift tomorrow." โ
"Director, see me? How do you say that? Qi Huange looked at Qu Nan strangely.
Qu Nan waved his hand: "The director appreciates you, everyone in our department knows it, so don't pretend." โ
Qi Huange frowned, and was about to speak, Qu Nan bent down and smiled to communicate with the patient, "Remember to take medicine on time, the situation is much better, if there is anything uncomfortable, you must respond to us in time." โ
"Alright, Dr. Qi, let's get off work together, shall we?" Qu Nan straightened up and asked Qi Huange with a smile, completely missing the appearance just now.
Qi Huange didn't have to ask* anymore, nodded and turned to leave, after changing her clothes, she said hello to Qu Nan and hailed a taxi, reporting the address of Liu Xiaoai's apartment.
Ten minutes later, Qi Huange stood downstairs, she looked at the lights on the eighth floor, rubbed her hands that were stiffened by the cold wind, and dialed Liu Xiaoai's phone; "Can I go up?"
Liu Xiaoai curled up on the sofa with Xiao Q pillow, said a faint "en", hung up the phone, got up and opened the door, hidden, and then went into the kitchen and put the meal that was unintentionally left in the microwave oven at night.
Two minutes later, the microwave made a tinkling sound, Liu Xiaoai lowered her eyes and brought out the food, and before she could take a step, a pair of slender hands appeared in her sight and took the food.
"Leave it for me?" Qi Huange's tone was full of surprise, and Liu Xiaoai passed by her, "No, it's redundant." โ
Qi Huange smiled and didn't speak, put the food on the table, picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, Liu Xiaoai glimpsed and said, "Have you washed your hands?" "With a little reproach.
Qi Huange laughed when he heard this, and kept laughing into his heart: "I washed it, I washed it twice with soap, and I washed it with laundry detergent twice." โ
Liu Xiaoai turned her head in embarrassment and didn't look at her, her eyes stared at the boring TV, the air in the living room was gradually thinning, and Qi Huange's storage zร i was like a domineering tree snatching the few oxygen in the living room, making Liu Xiaoai feel difficult to breathe and almost suffocated.
"I'll go to sleep first, don't forget to lock the door when you leave." Throwing down this sentence, Liu Xiaoai fled back to the bedroom.
Qi Huange was stunned, ate a few bites of food hastily, cleaned up the dishes, Qi Huange thought for a moment and knocked on the bedroom door.
"Come in." Liu Xiaoai pulled herself out of the quilt.
"Can I stay here tonight?" Qi Huange asked with a smile, his eyes unspeakably lonely.
"Then your ......" Liu Xiaoai wanted to say what to do with your girlfriend, but she tried hard, but she really couldn't say this sentence, and let her heart break This sentence, the hand under the quilt grabbed and released, and then grabbed it, and finally let go, "Whatever." Liu Xiaoai turned her back to the door.
It was precisely for this reason that she didn't see the tears that quickly accumulated in Qi Huange's eyes after she said casually.
"I'm going to take a shower." Qi Huange said happily.
Liu Xiaoai closed her eyes tightly and bit her lower lip, looking regretful, how could she ...... And you are soft-hearted? After being entangled in her heart for a while, the aroma of shower gel hit her nose, and then she was hugged into a soft embrace, Liu Xiaoai subconsciously tightened her body, Qi Huange was stunned for a moment, let go of Liu Xiaoai, and pretended to be fine, "I'll go to middle school tomorrow, and I'll send you in the morning, right?" โ
"No need," Liu Xiaoai looked lazy, "And I remember that Dr. Qi just returned to China and hasn't bought a car yet, right?" How to send me? โ
Qi Huange pinched Liu Xiaoai's arm and said angrily, "How can you speak?" But ......" she stretched her tone closer to Liu Xiaoai: "In order to pick up and drop off beautiful women, I can consider buying a car." โ
If everything hadn't happened, Liu Xiaoai would definitely be shy because of Qi Huange's *, and then gently talk to her, but ...... Liu Xiaoai snorted coldly, broke free of Qi Huange's hand grabbing her arm, and her voice was stiff: "Sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow." โ
Qi Huange's hand was raised in the direction of Liu Xiaoai, and finally put it down, and slowly lay down, she turned off the bedside lamp, her expression was casually sentimental in the sudden darkness, and her clear voice was extremely thin in the dark:
"Good night."
