Chapter 17: I don't have that mind for the time being
Bai Cang's body trembled, "You ......"
"Okay, Doctor Bai, I'll go back, I'll listen to you!" Ning quickly let go of him again, as if what had just happened had never happened, she opened her hand and walked towards the ward in a chic and cheerful manner, the wind blowing her clothes like a butterfly.
It was clear that it was not a gorgeous dress, but Bai Cang felt that it was the brightest scenery in spring, vivid, enthusiastic, and full of enthusiasm for life.
He didn't know when, but he felt his heart beat a little. He was frightened by himself, unwilling to believe that he would be attracted to a yellow-haired girl so quickly, preferring to comfort himself because he was shocked by her last words.
Well, yes, she said he had forgotten her, but he didn't feel like he was the slightest bit impressed, maybe..... Is it true that what is he missing?
She wouldn't tell him directly, she had to go into her heart to know the answer. This...... How is that possible?
No matter whether he is now or Bai Cang in ancient times, he has irreplaceable feelings for Ning Ke, how can he easily enter the hearts of others.
Perhaps, it was just a prankββ in the end, he could only comfort himself like this.
However, in the days that followed, she followed her like a shadow, and he could not escape from her sight all the time.
She didn't mess around, if he went to check on her, she would sit honestly, and only stare at him with those big watery eyes, and see that he blushed, and she couldn't help but laugh. If he's not checking and is just in the office or doing something, she'll be in the area he can see but not too obvious, making it seem as if she's just showing up unintentionally.
But he knew that she certainly wasn't unintentional, she meant it. She just wanted him to be able to see her wherever she was!
At first, he could withstand the pressure of her gaze, but as time went on, he began to feel all kinds of uncomfortable, and even couldn't concentrate on his work.
So, one day, when he checked her recovery, he had a showdown with her directly.
Of course, his statement was more tactful, and he didn't want to hurt her self-esteem.
He said, "You're recovering well, and if there are no accidents, you can be discharged in two days." β
He spoke calmly and earnestly, like a doctor speaking to a patient in general.
After hearing this, she raised her eyebrows, "You said I'm okay?
I don't know why, although Bai Cang is telling the truth, she is still a little weak when she looks at her like this, and she doesn't dare to look at her eyes at all.
He pretended to bow his head to take notes, and nodded unnaturally, "Well, yes, your surgery was originally successful, there was no rejection, and the recovery was good." β
"Oh, I see. She replied lightly, and there was not much reaction, so flat that people were a little unaccustomed to it.
Bai Cang also looked up at her a little strangely, but she didn't look at him, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, and the side face that was calm and almost a little dead was a little pitiful.
He pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, so he left.
But I don't know why, since he hit him, he himself is still a little uncomfortable, and he always feels that he has done something wrong. He passed by her hospital room several times, and she sat in front of the bed in a daze, her mother was talking on the side, and she ignored it, looking really unhappy.
He didn't even have the courage to go in, he knew that he had broken the heart of a girl chasing, and he was not qualified to say anything more.
That night, he didn't have to be on duty, and Ning Ke's mother called him home for dinner.
He realized that he hadn't visited for a long time, so he went to buy fruit and vegetables he knew how to cook after work.
Ning Ke's mother really regarded him as her own son, and made a table of dishes early, which was like a sumptuous New Year. And Ning Ke's father was helping to make vegetables, and he didn't forget to pour the good wine that had been treasured for many years.
Originally, Bai Cang wanted to show his hand, but this time he didn't have a chance.
He was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Next time, you must leave the opportunity to me, so that you can also taste my craft." β
"Oh, no, no!" Ning Ke's mother took off her apron and pulled him into the seat with a smile, "Your hands are used to save people, not to cook!"
Bai Cang also smiled, "Before saving people, you must first feed your stomach, right? In the years I was abroad, I made my own food when I had time, and I was really not used to eating Western food." β
"Poor child. Ning Ke's mother was even more distressed when she heard him say this, so she filled him with a big bowl of soup, "Come on, come on, drink more, in the future! With us here, you don't have to eat Western food, what you want to eat, just tell me, I'll make it for you!"
Bai Cang looked at the dishes on this table, and then looked at the two old people sitting beside him, and suddenly felt at home, as if his parents had not left, and he was still a child with parents.
His heart was hot, and he even felt a little hot in his eyes, so he quickly lowered his head and drank the soup, not wanting to expose his emotions.
"Drink slowly, drink slowly, don't choke, there's a lot more!" Ning Ke's mother saw that he drank too much, not to mention how happy she was, and she smiled so much that her eyes were almost out of sight.
Ning Ke's father poured him a drink, "Anyway, you don't have to be on duty at night, you can accompany me to drink, the car will be in the garage first, and I will drive to pick you up from work tomorrow." β
"Good!"
Bai Cang rarely drinks alcohol, and every time he drinks, he almost always accompanies Ning Ke's father.
Ning Ke's mother has been busy serving vegetables to the two of them, interjecting a few words from time to time, nothing more than work or something, but she spared a few big circles, and she didn't say the most critical place.
Bai Cang noticed her desire to speak again, put down the wine glass, and asked her with a smile, "Do you have something to ask me?" β
"Hehe, this, you found out!" Ning Ke's mother rubbed her hands and laughed a few times, before she asked cautiously, "How are you and that Xiao Ke developing?"
The last time she met, if she hadn't been sad because she thought of Ning Ke, she should have said a few words to Ning Ke. However, even if she didn't speak, she thought it was very good just by the girl's smile.
If she can, of course she hopes that Bai Cang can get out of the past, find a girl she likes, and start a new life.
Bai Cang had already guessed that she would definitely ask this question, and he had already made a draft in his heart, and as soon as she asked, he immediately took over, "She's a good girl, but she's just my patient." β
"Huh?" Ning Ke's mother showed a disappointed look on her face, "It's just a patient? Isn't it together? Last time her mother called my own mother." β
Ning Ke's father also looked at it, and couldn't help but say more, "Yes, I heard that girl is also interesting to you, how can you say that she is just a patient? Xiaobai! Don't blame your uncle for talking too much, if you think it's okay, then give it a try!"
"Uncle and aunt, I really don't have that mind for the time being, this matter...... Let's talk about it later!" Bai Cang broke the thoughts of the two old men with one sentence, and it was also true, Ning Ke had just been gone for a month, how could he accept others so quickly?
In general, this meal was indeed enjoyable, like a complete family of three, and the three of them did not mention Ning Ke very tacitly, and that name became a tacit wound or memory for each other.
Bai Cang drank a little too much tonight, so he went back a little earlier, and the car didn't drive, and stopped in the garage of Ning Ke's house.
Sleeping until midnight, he had a dream, in which Ning Ke took Chu Junyue and their child, told him that she lived happily there, and then thanked him for everything he had done.
He could only look at her, unable to utter a word, and she quickly waved her hand, turned and walked away.
At that time, he reacted and was about to catch up, when suddenly, the phone rang noisily.
In a trance, he thought he was still in a dream, and shouted in a daze, "Ke'er...... Ke'er, are you going don't go, don't go......
However, the noisy sound continued, endlessly.
He couldn't open his eyelids, his head was a little dizzy, and he didn't want to wake up, but the phone rang again and again, and he gradually lost his sleepiness and woke up.
There was an unfamiliar number jumping on the mobile phone, he glanced at it and didn't want to answer, thinking that it was a scam call or something, after all, he knew very few people in China, and even fewer friends, and no one would call in the middle of the night.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the other party simply changed the landline of the hospital to call, and this time, he naturally didn't dare not answer.
As soon as the phone was answered, before he could speak, there was a panicked and sad cry on the other end.
"Doctor Bai, hurry up and come to the hospital, Xiao Ke! Xiao Ke is uncomfortable in her heart, and she can't do it!"
Bai Cang was stunned for a moment, "Aunt Ning?"
"It's me, Doctor Bai, you come to the hospital quickly, Xiao Ke has a problem, I'm afraid she ......" Rather my mother couldn't go on, she was left crying, Bai Cang wanted to ask something, but couldn't ask anything.
In the end, he could only get up and comfort her, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll come over immediately." With that, he casually put on a coat and went out.
At that time, it was two o'clock in the morning.
He didn't drive the car back, and he didn't see a taxi in front of the apartment, so he walked two blocks before stopping a taxi and rushing to the hospital.
However, by the time he went to the Ning Ke ward, she had stabilized, and the doctor on duty was cleaning up.
"What's going on?" he gasped and walked in, he had just run in, so his breath hadn't stabilized yet.
When the doctor saw him coming, he was stunned for a moment, "You don't have to be on duty, why are you here?" and ....." He moved his nose, wanting to say that Bai Cang had drunk, but he wanted to be cautious in front of the patient, so he changed the conversation, "Well, the patient is fine, I did a detailed examination, and there is nothing wrong, it may just be rejection!"
Bai Cang nodded, "It's hard work, this is my patient, let me do the rest!"
The doctor understood and left on the spot.
Bai Cang stood and walked over, preferring to lie on the bed with his eyes closed, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and he had lost his usual playfulness and agility at all, like a delicate flower beaten by frost, which was pitiful.
"Are you better?" he didn't know it, his voice softening a little.
Ning opened a crack and said weakly: "Why are you here? Don't you really want to see me?"
