Chapter 772: Chapter 516: Minor Injury
The second watch of the night.
—————–
When Zhou Mikang had Li Dajun cooperate with the action before, he left Wang Lei’s phone number with him, instructing him to inform Wang Lei at the first sign of any issues. Therefore, it was no surprise to Chuxia that he would notify Wang Lei.
But Wang Jing, unaware of this arrangent, looked at Wang Lei with so worry: “Aunt, how did Li Dajun get your number? Could it be that he’s still not over it?”
“Ah?” Wang Lei was taken aback, “I hadn’t really thought of that, but let’s not worry about it now. Let’s bring your dad ho first. If Li Dajun really has any ideas, I won’t let him have his way, don’t worry.”
Chuxia quickly said, “Auntie, Sis, the number was left by Zhou Mikang; I forgot to ntion it to you.”
Wang Jing let out a long sigh of relief: “That’s good, that’s good. I’m really on edge now, ready to view everything in a negative light.”
Wang Lei sighed, looking at her niece apologetically: “It’s my fault.”
“Aunt, why take the bla for yourself again?” Wang Jing looked helpless, “I’m an adult now; I can’t always live under your protection.
Besides, who would have thought that Wang Jun and Wang Nan would turn so bad? Not even , who always disliked them, expected this. It’s good in a way, everyone can be at ease after this.”
“Yes, it’ll be simpler moving forward, I’m just afraid…your dad might still soften his heart.”
“Sigh!” Wang Jing sighed too, her face filled with worry.
“Nothing has happened yet; what are you both fretting about?” Chuxia looked at the aunt and niece pair speechlessly, “After you get Uncle Wang ho, have a good talk with him. He’s not oblivious; he knows who treats him well and who doesn’t.”
Wang Jing sighed again: “Chuxia, we’ll definitely talk to my dad when we return, but the main issue is Wang Jun. He’s so dear to him, viewed like a lifeline. Even if Wang Jun’s actions are disheartening now, the mont he pleads, Dad will forgive everything.
What my aunt and I are worried about is Wang Jun changing his tactics. At that ti, should we intervene with Dad or not? Not intervening would make us feel bad seeing him suffer, but intervening might let Wang Jun take advantage, sigh!”
“Then what’s the point of worrying now?”
“No point.”
“So that’s settled. Helping Uncle Wang now at least eases your conscience and guilt. Just follow your heart, and as for future matters, whether it’s family or friends or partners, relationships vary; they can’t be forced.”
Hearing Chuxia’s words, Wang Lei couldn’t help but smile: “For soone so young, you talk like soone who knows it all. But there’s sense in what you say. Alright, we’ll stop overthinking and deal with the current situation first.”
“That’s the spirit.” Chuxia waved her paws at the two of them, “Hurry up then.”
Once Wang Jing and Wang Lei left, Liu ijun looked at Chuxia admiringly: “I couldn’t tell, but you’ve got quite a life philosophy. If it were , I wouldn’t advise them like that.”
“What life philosophy? They’re too involved to see clearly. As an outsider who isn’t connected to them, I can naturally see the problem clearly. And you, since you don’t know what they’ve done, might not say what I did.”
“I’d never say that,” Liu ijun shook her head honestly, “I know my own limits. But the more ti I spend with you, the more I realize how different you are from us.
Sotis, you’re even more childlike than us, but other tis, you seem to understand so much more. I can’t even tell which is the real you.”
“People are contradictions themselves, and the real is just like this: there are things I’m good at and things I’m not…” Glancing at the ti, Chuxia nudged Liu ijun, “There’s still a quarter of an hour before work starts; let’s go check what those two are up to in the dormitory.”
“Alright.”
The two hit it off, jogging to the dormitory. At the door, they lightened their footsteps and peeked inside through the crack. Luo Xiaoqiong and Yun Doudou were there, each with a small mirror, carefully grooming their eyebrows.
In this era, no one wore makeup except for performances, so the only things to do were washing shirts a little cleaner, turning out collars, applying so hair oil, and tidying eyebrows. As for lipstick, not only was it hard to find, even if you bought so, no one dared to wear it, or they would get written up.
Of course, the turned collar idea was impossible for military doctors. While working, they had to wear a white coat over the military uniform, and when not, they couldn’t turn out their shirt collars in military uniforms, so eyebrows and hair were their only options.
After observing outside for a while, Chuxia suddenly pushed the door open.
“Crash!” The mirror in Yun Doudou’s hand fell to the ground, imdiately shattering into many little pieces. She instinctively clutched her chest and gave Chuxia a fierce glare: “Annoying! You scared to death!”
“Haha, if you’re not doing anything shady, what are you afraid of?” Chuxia stepped forward to take a closer look at her, taking the tweezers from her hand. “Let fix them for you, okay?”
“Make look pretty.”
“Sure.” Chuxia teased while plucking her eyebrows, “Didn’t you say you weren’t dressing up? What’s with you two then?”
“Does a friend do this?” Luo Xiaoqiong rolled her eyes at her. “You’re the one who said, out of respect, we should spruce up to welco them, and now you’re mocking us. What’s your intention?”
“To expose your hypocrisy.” Chuxia snorted with laughter. “They’re not strangers, do you need to put on a facade? If you two et your sweethearts looking like a ss after such a long ti apart, that would really be strange.”
Luo Xiaoqiong pointed at her: “Rember what you said. You and Zhou Mikang might also be apart for a long ti. I want to see what you do then.”
Chuxia put on a mature face: “Comrade, you must understand that being married and not being married are different.” Luo Xiaoqiong pouted back at her, “Comrade, don’t forget, you’re a year younger than .”
“It’s not about age, my heart is more mature than yours.” Chuxia said as she reached for the mirror from Luo Xiaoqiong and handed it to Yun Doudou, “Look, satisfied?”
With perfectly arched crescent eyebrows, she looked gentler and cuter. Yun Doudou gave her a thumbs up: “Not bad, since you made prettier, I’ll let you off the hook for not keeping company with the little mirror.”
“Co fix mine.” Luo Xiaoqiong handed the tweezers to Chuxia, “If you don’t make prettier than Doudou, I won’t be your best friend anymore.”
Chuxia took the tweezers, glanced at her, then at Yun Doudou: “If I have the skill to make you prettier than Doudou, I might as well beco a plastic surgeon.”
“Hate you!” Luo Xiaoqiong angrily pushed her, and Chuxia happened to have the tweezers at her eyebrow, accidentally pinching her eyelid and making it bleed.
Yun Doudou anxiously shouted, “Oh no, not only is it not pretty, but disfigured!”
Chuxia quickly found so disinfectant cotton, gently wiped the wound, and applied so ointnt, sighing: “Xiaoqiong, let this be a lesson. When letting others do your eyebrows or ears, don’t be reckless.”
“You ssed up my face and you’re speaking coldly.” Luo Xiaoqiong looked in the mirror with tears streaming down, “With this ugly face, how can I face people?”
“It’s just a tiny cut, it’ll heal in two or three days…” Chuxia felt guilty, but an apology wouldn’t help now, so she comforted her, “When my brother cos, I’ll admit my mistake, and I’ll give you my favorite badge, okay?”
“You said it?” Luo Xiaoqiong broke into a smile, “No backing out.” She had her eye on Chuxia’s jade badge for a long ti, but despite being generous with other stuff, Chuxia wouldn’t give it to her. Now trading a small injury for a big badge was too worth it!
“I said it, no backing out.” Chuxia’s heart ached, she had painstakingly found that jade badge, which would be priceless in the future. Of course, she didn’t plan to sell it, she genuinely liked it and wanted to keep it as a nto. Now it was gone with the tweezers.
Yun Doudou looked at Luo Xiaoqiong, whose grin nearly reached her ears, with disdain: “This girl is too cunning, I definitely suspect she did it on purpose.”
“Such a petty mind, I wouldn’t dare do it on purpose. What if an eyeball popped out?” Luo Xiaoqiong retorted with rolling eyes, “If you let cut your skin too, I’ll give you the badge.”
“Alright, co, cut .” Yun Doudou leaned her head forward, “Whoever backs out is a little puppy.”
“You’re really out of your mind. Who would seriously ask soone to hurt them?” Luo Xiaoqiong backed away in fright, “Even if you want to, I won’t dare. What if Zhou Hanliang finds out and shoots ?”
“He won’t, I promise, go ahead and cut.”
“Work ti is here, let’s go.” With no other choice, Luo Xiaoqiong retreated in a hurry.
Yun Doudou smugly raised her eyebrows: “Scaredy-cat, playing tough with , too green. When I was a kid and saw sothing I wanted to eat, I wouldn’t mind burning myself to swallow it.”
Chuxia: “…”
Liu ijun: “…”
Seeing the two of them speechless, Yun Doudou awkwardly smiled and tried to make it up: “Haha, don’t give that look, I was young back then, only about eight or nine, later I wasn’t so greedy.”
With nothing to do in the afternoon, Chuxia went to the ward of the man she had operated on. The man could already move around a bit. Seeing her, he seed embarrassed, and the woman gave him a look, warmly welcoming her: “Doctor Xiao Lin, thank you, my husband’s wound healed especially fast. The other patients are envious.”
The young girl accompanying them chid in: “Yes, my dad had the sa surgery, even before Uncle Wang, yet he still can’t get out of bed. If we had known, we would’ve co to you.” (To be continued.
