Chapter 37: First Physical Contact
"It's the end of the year again, and you're leading the departments to do business planning and budgeting."
"Assist Zhou Ru in collecting summaries of various departments."
"Urge the Ministry of Agriculture and Planting to complete next year's planting plan before the end of the month, and calculate the revenue share between us and Mr. Qiu this year with the Ministry of Finance...."
Mr. Chen arranged the work of Li Xiang standing in front of his desk one by one.
Li Xiang said while recording with a pen
"Okay, the planting plan of the Ministry of Agriculture can come out next week, and the revenue share of Mr. Qiu can be released the day after tomorrow......"
"Bah, I've made a lot of progress."
Mr. Chen has not criticized Li Xiang for a long time.
Lately, they seem to be praising her.
Li Xiang suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen.
In the morning she began to feel a little comfortable, thinking that it should be a cold.
She bent over, holding the table with one hand and her lower right abdomen with the other.
The notebook and pen fell to the floor.
Beads of sweat poured out of her forehead with a pained expression.
"Li Xiang, what's wrong with you?" Mr. Chen walked up to Li Xiang from his seat and asked with concern.
"Belly... Child... Hurt. Li Xiang said slowly in a very small voice.
"Sit down." Mr. Chen helped Li Xiang to sit down on the sofa.
Li Xiang was so hurt that tears came out.
Li Xiang ran to the office hall and shouted to the driver.
I found that everyone had already left work.
Mr. Chen stretched out his hands and bent down.
Holding Li Xiang in his arms, he ran out desperately like a tiger chasing after him.
"I'll take you to the town's health center, you bear with me."
"Thanks... Thank... Old... Total. ”
"Shut up and don't talk."
Li Xiang pressed his head against Mr. Chen's chest.
The left hand was on Mr. Li's shoulder, and the right hand continued to cover his lower abdomen.
Mr. Chen gasped, and beads of sweat fell on Li Xiang's face.
Arrived at the parking lot outside the scenic area.
Mr. Chen opened the car door, put Li Xiang on the co-pilot, and fastened the seat belt for her.
He wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with a tissue.
The chest of Mr. Chen's shirt was already soaked with their sweat.
Mr. Chen started the car and made a piercing sound of tires rubbing against the ground.
Mr. Chen glanced at Li Xiang from time to time while driving, ran two red lights in a row, and arrived at the health center.
Mr. Chen carried Li Xiang out of the car to the bed.
Li Xiang curled up and lay on his side.
The doctor looked at the situation and pressed Li Xiang's abdomen, which made Li Xiang scream "ah" in pain.
"The preliminary judgment is appendicitis."
Mr. Chen stared at the doctor eagerly and asked, "What should I do then?" ”
"We can only treat conservatively and inject him with antibiotics to reduce inflammation."
"What is conservative treatment?"
"Inject first, then observe, and if there is no improvement, you will be transferred to the city for CT and decide whether you need to have excision surgery depending on the situation."
"Then please inject her. How long does it take to see results? ”
"I can't tell, depending on the physique and condition, some take a few hours, some take 1 day, or it may be other diseases."
Mr. Chen listened to the doctor's words, walked to the hospital bed and squatted next to Li Xiang.
He touched Li Xiang's forehead and said to Li Xiang gently:
"When the doctor injects you with anti-inflammatory drugs, I'll take you to the city hospital."
"No... with..."
"I can't help you, the doctor said that it may be another disease, and I must send you for a thorough examination."
More than 10 minutes after injection.
Mr. Chen leaned down and hugged Li Xiang to the car.
There was no traffic jam at night, and I drove for more than 30 minutes to the emergency room of a tertiary hospital in the city.
After examination by the doctor on duty, appendicitis was diagnosed and needed to be hospitalized for observation.
Mr. Chen took the hospitalization slip and paid the fee.
He pushed Lee to the inpatient department.
The doctor gave Li Xiang an infusion.
Mr. Chen guarded her.
In the middle of the night, when she got better, Li Xiang fell asleep, and the moaning of the patient next door woke her up.
She opened her eyes and saw Mr. Chen lying on the edge of her bed.
She began to recall how anxious Mr. Chen had been when she was sick from this afternoon to now.
He also takes such good care of himself.
And when I was held by Mr. Chen...
It's a pity that my abdomen hurt so much at the time that I didn't even experience the feeling carefully.
For the first time, she saw Mr. Chen's tender chivalrous bones.
"If only I had gotten sick earlier, or if I had been sick often." Li Xiang actually thought so.
Li Xiang saw Mr. Chen's head move, and immediately closed his eyes.
Mr. Chen raised his head and covered her with a quilt.
He looked at Li Xiang, combed the hair on Li Xiang's forehead with his hand, and then gently stroked her face along his cheeks.
Li Xiang enjoyed the warmth of this moment, his heart "banged", and his face flushed slightly.
He is like two people with his usual fierce appearance.
She couldn't understand it, she didn't know how much it meant.
After hearing the sound of the medical staff taking the temperature, Mr. Chen quickly removed his hand and called softly, "Li Xiang, take the temperature."
"It's strange that you call me Li Xiang."
"What's that calling you?"
"Xiao Li, don't you keep calling me that?" Li Xiang smiled and showed a neat row of teeth.
"Looks like you're in good spirits."
"Ouch, no, it still hurts."
"You just keep pretending, doctor, the patient here says his stomach hurts."
"Hee-hee, lie to you."
Li Xiang's mind flashed, and he thought of a very important question, which is more appropriate to ask at this time
"Chen. Are you really Mr. Qu's nephew? ”
"Pig brains, listen to other people's nonsense."
"I'm afraid......"
"Afraid I'll eat you?" Mr. Chen made a grimace.
......
The two of them are like colleagues from their superiors and subordinates, and they are clearly a couple.
Fellow patients praised Chen for being a good boyfriend.
Li Xiang said that he was happy in his heart, but Mr. Chen didn't hear it.
Li Xiang also needs to be hospitalized for a day of observation.
Mr. Chen hired a nurse to take care of Li Xiang, and he went back to the office first and came back in the afternoon.
