Chapter Seventy-One: Self-Assertiveness

After a long struggle, Lu Jisheng finally ate the first piece of meat.

The cost is a soaking wet hospital gown and a sore arm.

He looked at the time, and it was nearly nine o'clock in the evening. It was already dark outside, and through the lights lit up in the hospital building opposite, he could see the scenes in the wards.

He got up and walked to the window, so that he could see more clearly.

Some people wrapped their legs in steel plates, some people wrapped sand cloths around their heads, some people hugged their families and cried bitterly, and some people were looking out the window like him.

Lu Jisheng clenched his fists and turned to leave the conference room.

As soon as he closed the door, he saw Lu Jiwen waiting for him outside the door.

"Why are you here?" Lu Jisheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

A cleaning aunt was cleaning the corridor, and when she saw Lu Jisheng coming out of the conference room, she took the cleaning tools into the house to clean it.

"I'll wait for you." Lu Jiwen looked taken for granted, "You have been in there for so long, I am worried that you have a problem." Hey? Why are your clothes wet? ”

Only then did Lu Jisheng notice that his soaked hospital gown had not yet dried, and it was crumpled and sticking to his body.

"Oh, it's a little hot in the house just now." Lu Jisheng casually made up a reason and walked to the ward.

Lu Jiwen immediately followed, squinting his eyes with a look of distrust: "This hospital is all central air conditioning, why is your house suddenly hot?" Brother, did you move the wound yourself? ”

"Well, a little bit of exercise."

"What?! Didn't Dr. Song say he wouldn't let you move? You can't do this, brother, you have to listen to the doctor. ”

"I know." Lu Jiwen stopped at the door of the ward, there was no light in the room, and with the help of the light in the corridor, he saw Jing Sheng and Xue Ziyin sleeping on a bed.

"Don't be so anxious knowing you, a more professional private doctor will come to treat you in a few days...... Well, brother, why don't you leave? Lu Jiwen said as he walked, and almost bumped into Lu Jisheng.

Lu Jisheng stood in place with one hand in his pocket, looking at Jingsheng who was sleeping on the bed.

"When will you get an extra bed?" He asked, his gaze not moving.

"In the afternoon, your lawyer had just left." Lu Jiwen replied, following his brother's line of sight, he also noticed the two people on the bed.

Xue Ziyin still maintained the posture of holding hands with Jing Sheng, and the two slept opposite each other with a quilt.

"Oh~" Lu Jiwen jokingly hugged Lu Jisheng's shoulder, "Brother, are you very bitter?" People don't wait for you to go to bed first! Hahaha. ”

Lu Jiwen smiled very gloatingly: "But it doesn't matter, there is your dear lovely brother here to accompany you." ”

"Shh Lu Jisheng stretched out a finger to block his brother's mouth, then slapped away his hand on his shoulder and walked towards the bathroom.

"Brother, what are you going to do, do you want to go to the bathroom?"

"Take a bath." The hospital gown was still wet and sticky to my body, which was very uncomfortable.

"Oh, do you want me to help you? You don't have a handy hand. ”

"No, you don't." Lu Jisheng turned around and made a gesture of closing the door, with a relaxed expression, "You stay here and watch the door." ”

"Good girl, I'm not a puppy, why do you want me to guard the door!" Lu Jiwen was very dissatisfied with this, and he also wanted to take a bath!

"Hmph." Lu Jisheng showed a smug smile, "Are you bitter in your heart now?" ”

After saying that, he snapped and closed the bathroom door.

Jian Fan took off the work clothes he had worn for the day and threw himself on the bed.

He now lives in a chain hotel outside the hospital, and the small space is crowded with many patients' families. Many people smoke and chat loudly in the house, and the environment is very noisy.

Ring, ringing, the phone rings.

Jian Fan took his phone out of his pocket, and if it hadn't vibrated when a call came, he would have almost missed the call because he couldn't hear the ringtone.

He opened one eye and looked at the phone screen, and the caller ID was his mother.

Jian Fan supported his tired body with his arms and walked outside.

He quickly came to a relatively quiet place on the side of the road and picked up the phone: "Hey, Mommy. ”

On the opposite side was a middle-aged female voice full of anxiety: "Xiao Fan, have you eaten?" ”

Only then did Jian Fan notice his rumbling belly, he had been busy in the hospital all day today, and he didn't have time to eat.

"I've eaten it, Mom. Don't worry about me. ”

"I'm not worried about you! Tell me, if you don't come back to a good villa at home, you just stay in the hospital to suffer, can you not worry your mother? I'll tell you, the day after tomorrow, oh no, you'll have to pack up and come back tomorrow, and I'll ask the driver at home to pick you up. ”

"No, Mom, I'm really not tired here." Looking at the brightly lit building of the hospital opposite, with patients and family members coming in and out of the door, Jian Fan felt a sense of mission as a volunteer.

And...... Jian Fan moved his gaze to the top window he used to look at, where there was another reason for him to stay in the hospital.

Even though the window went out early this day for some reason, it was dark.

"Then mom will send a few people over to help you, so as to lighten your burden."

"Well, it's good to send a few more people over, there are a lot of people here now, and there are not enough volunteers."

The other end of the phone sighed heavily: "You, you just look at everything too idealisticly." Post-disaster recovery is a very complex and tedious process, and it cannot be achieved by your own efforts. ”

"But the more this happens, the more I want to stay here. There are a lot of people here who need me. ”

The blackened window stood out among the brightly lit wards.

"Well, I'll discuss with your dad and send a few of the best doctors in the house, do you think so?"

"Okay." Jian Fan tilted his head and stared at the window at a different angle, "It's best to let Uncle Shiran come with me, I haven't studied medical skills, and I don't understand a lot of first aid knowledge." ”

"No, Uncle Shiran is going to rest abroad with you. Mom will send at least six people to volunteer for you at the hospital this time, on the condition that you are obedient. ”

"Mom, how do you decide before you discuss it with me? I'm not going. "It's a gamble.

"I don't care, my mother has already decided, just three days later, after a long time, you will start to drag it out again. You start preparing tonight, Mom's ticket has been bought for you, and Uncle Shiran will accompany you when the time comes. ”

"I really don't want to go. I still have a lot to do here. Jian Fan looked at the window again, and there was a faint light from a mobile phone flashlight coming from inside, but the height was too high for him to see the details inside.

There was silence on the other end of the line.

"Xiao Fan, today your father went to the Earthquake Bureau, they said that the geology of M City is still unstable, and it is very likely that there will be a slight aftershock, although it will not kill many people like before, but there is also the possibility of injury."

"You can't be so willful, Mom has already made the biggest compromise."

Jian Fan lowered his head, exhaled softly, and said in a very small voice, "Okay then." However, Uncle Shiran had to stay in the hospital to help, otherwise I wouldn't go. ”

“…… It's up to you. ”
