First Time Accompanying the Patient

Jinxing Restaurant.

"Xiao Pan, you can only stay in Fengshan County for a week. I'll send you back next weekend. You can decide whether you want to come home with me and squeeze in, or stay in a guesthouse. You can come with me to experience life at the grassroots level for the next few days."

"Brother, why is it only a week? I still have about twenty days before school starts, I can stay for two weeks. Can you let me stay a few more days?"

"That won't do. First, the teacher only approved it for a week, and second, my work schedule is quite full next week, so I won't have much time to take care of you. You should stay for a week and then go back to prepare for the start of school. Don't leave with something you forgot. Besides, isn't there another holiday? If you're still interested in life at the grassroots level, you can come back again."

"Sigh, my dad..."

Liang Pan was feeling a bit down. Although he was happy to come to Fengshan County and didn't want to be tied down at home, the thought of only having seven days left made him feel a little emotional.

"Xiao Pan, remember this: there are no parents in the world who don't love their children, so you should try to be more understanding of your parents, okay?"

"Okay, I understand."

Liu Yun, who was standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Xiao Pan, didn't I tell you to save my number? If your brother Lin is busy later, I'll show you around, how about it?"

"OK......"

Liang Pan shouted happily, but was interrupted by Lin Xiao the next second.

"Get lost, stop causing trouble here." Lin Xiao pointed at Liu Yun.

"Little Pan, it's not that your brother won't help you, but look at our Secretary Lin, he's so domineering that I can't afford to offend him, so you should just listen to your brother Lin."

Liu Yun joked, then added, "Oh, by the way, I think you shouldn't go home and squeeze in. Why don't you just book two rooms at the guesthouse? It'll be more convenient that way. What do you say, Secretary Lin?"

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, that works too. I'll go and get it done in a bit."

Just then, Lin Xiao's phone beeped with a text message. After opening it, his expression turned somewhat strange.

"What's wrong? If you have something to do, you can go ahead. I'll keep an eye on Xiao Pan."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiao said, "Okay, keep an eye on him for me. After we finish eating, get me another room at the guesthouse. Xiao Pan, listen to Brother Liu's instructions; I'll be back soon."

"Okay, bro."

Lin Xiao then took a taxi to the hospital.

In the ward, Song Wanqing lay on her side on the bed, holding the TV remote control in her hand, idly changing channels. Under the incandescent light, her delicate body appeared somewhat lonely against the backdrop of the light.

A knock came at the door. She immediately put down the remote control, straightened up, and looked at the door with a slightly flushed face, saying, "Come in."

Lin Xiao pushed open the door and entered, only to see that angelic face looking at her pitifully, with a pair of beautiful and charming eyes that seemed to speak, and a shy smile on her cheeks.

Lin Xiao's heart trembled once again, and a certain string in her heart seemed to be gently plucked.

"I'm sorry, I... I've never spent the night alone in a hospital before, so..." Song Wanqing blushed slightly.

"Oh, it's okay. Anyway, I've almost finished taking care of my business. I can stay and chat with you."

Just now, Song Wanqing borrowed a nurse's phone to send Lin Xiao a text message saying that she was scared being alone in the ward.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, her meaning was clear: she hoped Lin Xiao could come and keep her company.

Lin Xiao pulled up a chair and sat down, then said with a smile, "To be honest, this is my first time accompanying someone in a hospital bed, haha. If you want to chat, we can chat; if you're tired, just sleep. I'll be right next to you, so don't be afraid."

Song Wanqing's face flushed red again, all the way to her neck. She said shyly, "I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Lin Xiao waved her hand and said, "It's alright. We should be considered friends, so there's no need to say such things. Besides, you're a girl who traveled all the way to Fengshan. I couldn't possibly abandon you. So, this might just be our destiny."

Song Wanqing also became interested and, lying on her side, looked at Lin Xiao and said, "You know what, we're really quite destined for each other. You see, first you saved me, and then you're very familiar with the place I want to go. Even though you said you would save anyone, if it weren't for me, wouldn't this connection be much less significant?"

After speaking, Song Wanqing turned her face away shyly. There was nothing wrong with what she said, but it inevitably gave people a sense of ambiguity.

"Once you're better, I'll take you on a proper tour of Songmao Village. Although I haven't been stationed there for very long, I've visited every household and am quite familiar with some of the situations. It's just that the current situation in Songmao Village is a bit..."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but introduce the situation of Songmao Village, and also told Song Wanqing about his idea of ​​changing the status quo and leading the villagers out of poverty. He thought that Song Wanqing would be annoyed by these things, but the two of them actually got along quite well. Song Wanqing also told Lin Xiao about her plan to become a reporter after graduation.

The distance between the two people grew closer and closer through this frank communication, and there was even a feeling of "long-lost friends" in it.

After chatting for most of the day, Song Wanqing finally fell asleep on her side.

She placed her right hand under her face, her eyes tightly closed, and her soft, rhythmic breathing was accompanied by her long eyelashes fluttering occasionally, causing her brows to furrow slightly.

Perhaps, at this very moment, she is recalling the scene of the car accident in her dream.

Lin Xiao gently got up, lifted the chair, and moved it slightly closer to the bedside. Then, she couldn't help but look down at the pure and lovely girl in front of her. It seemed that she was the most adorable and charming girl in her mind. In particular, her unique temperament deeply attracted Lin Xiao.

This must be love at first sight!

Lin Xiao muttered to himself, but the next second he sat back down in his chair, his mind filled with Song Wanqing's sunny and charming smile...

And just like that, Lin Xiao unknowingly fell asleep leaning back in her chair.

......

The next morning.

When Lin Xiao woke up from her sweet dream and opened her eyes, Song Wanqing, who was lying on her side, was looking at Lin Xiao with her big eyes.

"You're awake."

Song Wanqing blushed and looked away.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning!"

Afterwards, Lin Xiao went into the bathroom, filled a glass with water, squeezed toothpaste onto his toothbrush, and then came out with an empty basin. After Song Wanqing finished brushing her teeth, he tidied up his things and went into the bathroom to wash them. Then he brought out a basin of clean water for Song Wanqing to wash her face. After Song Wanqing finished washing, he took his thermos and went to the water dispenser outside to get a cup of hot water, which he then poured for Song Wanqing.

"As the old saying goes, 'A glass of water in the morning is better than ginseng soup,' so you should drink some after it cools down a bit."

"You really know a lot," Song Wanqing said with a smile.

"Haha, it's always good to have more skills! By the way, what would you like to eat for breakfast? I'll go buy it for you."

"Either is fine, it's up to you."

After a night's rest, Song Wanqing's condition improved significantly.

"I'll go out to buy it after the doctor finishes rounds and changes the dressing."

"Um."

Soon, the doctor came to check on the patient, and then the nurse came to change the dressing.

However, before the young nurse left, she suddenly whispered to Song Wanqing, "Your boyfriend is so thoughtful..."

"He is... or he is not..."

Before Song Wanqing could explain, the nurse picked up the medicine tray and walked out of the ward with a smile.

Although the young nurse kept her voice down, Lin Xiao could still hear her quite clearly, and he also saw that Song Wanqing's face was already flushed.

"They don't know the situation, so please don't blame them. I'll explain later. I'll go buy you breakfast now."

After saying that, Lin Xiao left the ward.

"fool!"

After whispering something, Song Wanqing happily hid under the covers.

After buying breakfast, Lin Xiao went to the hospital supermarket to buy some things before returning to her ward.

"I'm going out to make a phone call. Be careful. Call me if you need anything. I'll be right at the door."

"oh!"

As Song Wanqing ate her breakfast, her gaze unconsciously drifted to the bag on the table. Curious, she picked it up, opened it, and was surprised to find two packets of brown sugar ginger water inside. She couldn't help but look up towards the door.

But the next second, her thoughts shifted dramatically, and she muttered to herself, "He knows too much, doesn't he? Has he dated several people before? Is he still...?"

Song Wanqing's heart began to race, and her appetite gradually disappeared. Soon she put the breakfast back on the table and lay down on her side.

When Lin Xiao returned after making the phone call, she found that Song Wanqing had already lain down. She subconsciously asked, "Why are you eating so fast? That's not a good habit. You should eat slowly to be healthier."

Lin Xiao smiled as he moved closer to the table. When he noticed that the breakfast on the table seemed untouched, he turned to Song Wanqing with a worried expression and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'll go call the doctor..."

"Need not!"

Song Wanqing's voice turned somewhat cold and sharp, which startled Lin Xiao.

Has something happened? Or is it that whether it's a woman or a girl, they're more likely to turn on you than...?

Lin Xiao didn't think any further.
