[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 163 [English]

Chapter 163 Promise┃From now on, he will never break his promise again.

For nurse Xiao Li, this day was quite unforgettable.

She slept undressed on the folding bed in the duty room until a colleague who came to take over her shift woke her up.

“What time is it?” She yawned and sat on the edge of the bed, as sleepy as a tumbler.

“Five o’clock.” My colleague pointed outside and said, “Wash your face and wake up. It’s snowing outside and the road is very slippery. Be careful when you go back later.”

Xiao Li slapped his face three times by the pool, but with little effect.She stared at her colleague in confusion, “You should change your clothes first, let it warm up for a while, and then I’ll go take a look around the ward.”

She walked through the corridor holding the record sheet, and the whole floor was quiet.

This was not the case before. No matter day or night, this corridor would never be quiet, and the high and low hums of patients could always be heard.

Ever since that special batch of patients rounded up this ward, she had never heard a cry of pain, which made her wonder if the anesthetic had been changed from batch to batch, and why the effect lasted for so long.

Now that a large number of patients have left, the place is so quiet that it could be haunted.

The soldier responsible for the night watch in the corridor was still there, standing as straight as he had a few hours ago.

Xiao Li gave them a sleepwalking smile, turned around and entered 906.

At Gao Qi’s request, this room has been turned into a double room, with two beds placed side by side. There is a transparent clip on the bedside with the patient’s name on it.The one by the window says “Qin Zhu”, and the one by the door says “You Huo”.

After checking everything about Qin Ju, Xiao Li walked to You Huo’s bedside.

The cold white headlights were not turned on, and the ward was dark, with only the monitor screen and drip regulator glowing softly.Xiao Li used that light to record the fluctuation data. When he finished recording, he looked up and saw that You Huo’s light-colored eyes had opened at some point and he was looking at her silently.

Xiao Li screamed and the record book dropped in fright.

The soldiers outside pushed the door open and rushed in. Immediately after, colleagues who had changed their clothes came in like a gust of wind, asking: “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

Xiao Li said in shock: “He woke up!”

“Really?!” The colleague rushed to the hospital bed, checked for a long time and then turned around and asked, “Are you sure?”

“Are you sure, your eyes are open?” Xiao Li said and walked over, only to see the person on the bed lying on his side, eyes closed, breathing lightly, as if he had never woken up.

“The director said it will take at least another three or four days.” The colleague clicked on the monitoring chart. The long wave line chart had a sharp rise a few seconds ago, and then returned to stability in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Li said: “I really saw he woke up, opened his eyes and touched his earlobe.”

“Touch your earlobe?” My colleague took a look and said, “Oh, there’s an earring over here.”

After reading the physical information, they waited unbelievingly by the bed for a long time. You Huo never meant to open his eyes.It’s as if he just dreamed about certain people and things, suddenly woke up, and fell into a coma again after confirming that it was okay.

Xiao Li was so frightened that she lost all sleep and was not in a hurry to go home after her shift. She planned to stay until the canteen opened at 7:30 and have breakfast before leaving.

After staying like this, she was frightened for the second time——

At 7:05 in the morning, she helped her colleague change the intravenous drip in the intensive care unit.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a man sitting by the bed, unpacking something with one hand, but his eyes kept focusing on the other bed.

Hearing the footsteps, he raised his eyes and looked towards the door, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, as if to see clearly who was coming.

The man had a calm temperament, with a sense of laziness.Maybe he was so confident that Xiao Li felt a little weak.

“I’m sorry, I went to the wrong place.” She apologized subconsciously, hurriedly exited with the plate in hand, and turned around to look at the guard.

Bing: “?”

Xiao Li: “?”

She looked up in confusion and saw room number 906, which was absolutely correct!

So who is sitting next to the bed???

Xiao Li was stunned for two seconds and opened the door again.

This time she saw clearly – the quilt on the bed by the window was lifted, and the handsome man had stood up. He was very tall, and he had to lower his head in order to pass the high-hanging intravenous bottle.

Who is it if it’s not Qin Jiu?!

“Are you awake?! When did you wake up? I’m the nurse in charge here, just call me Xiao Li.” Xiao Li walked in with a surprised look on his face.

Qin Jiu nodded and replied, “I just woke up.”

He hadn’t spoken for a long time, and his deep voice contained a hint of laziness.

Nurse Li, who was young and thin-skinned, blushed upon hearing this.

When she blushed, she lowered her head. As soon as she lowered her head, she saw what Qin Zhu was holding in his hand – a forcibly removed intravenous needle with two pieces of tape attached to it.

Xiao Li: “…”

“Why are you pulling out the needle?!” The little nurse’s face faded as soon as it faded, and became stern in the blink of an eye.

Qin Jiu said “Oh” and replied, “I saw that the infusion bottle was almost empty. It was too troublesome to call anyone, so I came here myself.”

As he said this, he and Xiao Li turned to look at the IV bottle at the same time…

Most of the bottle of water was sloshing around innocently inside.

Xiao Li: “…”

“Not quite right?” She pointed at the bottle and glared.

“Sorry, I was a little confused when I woke up, and I lost my mind in a flash.” Qin Jiu’s attitude was gentlemanly and sincere, but it was a pity that the little nurse had seen too much and was not fooled at all.

She was holding the record book, and it was clearly written on her face: Pull it, keep pulling it!

“I’m telling you, you’re not the only one. Several of your friends or comrades have done this before.” Xiao Li said with a grim look on his face.

“Our people? Are they all here?” Qin Jiu heard this and walked to the door. He first saw the soldiers guarding the night, and then saw “Chu Yue” on the nameplate opposite the door.

“I was here before. I left after recovering from my injuries a few days ago. It seems that I have some business.” Xiao Li remembered Gao Qi’s series of instructions and explained: “What did your friend named Gao Qi say…the review of the return of the army? Now you two are the only ones living here, and the patient named Chu opposite. She has had surgery on her eyes, and it will take some time to recover. Let me make it clear first that you all have deluxe single rooms, and Gao Qi asked me to put together a room for you. If it is not suitable, you can find him.”

While talking, Xiao Li kept looking at Qin Zhu.

I found that when he heard the names of Gao Qi and Chu Yue, there was a slight change in the muscles and bones of his neck and shoulders.As a person who works in a hospital, she understands very well how this change occurs.Only then did she realize that Qin Jiu, who had just been careless, was actually aggressive.

The little nurse was frightened.

She was thinking, if she had accidentally said something wrong just now, would she be lying on the ground now?

“Can I take a look at the ward opposite?” Qin Jiu turned around and asked her.

Xiao Li looked at he timidly.

Qin Zhu stared at her eyes for a few seconds, then laughed and said, “I’m really sorry this time. I always have to be careful before I know where this is. Did I scare you?”

“No, no.” Xiao Li shook his head subconsciously, “I understand, I understand.”

After shaking her, she secretly spat again, saying to herself that appearance is misleading, appearance is misleading, but she was convinced so easily.

“So the ward opposite -” Qin Jiuchong raised his chin to the opposite side.

Xiao Li said: “It’s convenient. I just tucked her in and she didn’t wake up. The director said it will take a few more days.”

She simply told Chu Yue’s condition, test results, and risks, so that Qin Jiu wouldn’t be wary.

However, she soon discovered that this person was a straightforward and practical person, and he could not be persuaded by words.he After reading Chu Yue’s physical monitoring data, Xiao Li didn’t even need to explain it, and he was obviously relieved.

“This information is quite professional, can you understand it?” Xiao Li helped Chu Yue close the door and followed Qin Zhu back to 906.

“It’s okay.” Qin Jiu said.

In fact, he knows these very well. After all, he has lived in the system’s medical center for more than half a year. He deals with this information every day and has almost become a semi-expert.

Qin Jiu pulled up a chair and sat down beside Youhuo’s bed.

Xiao Li opened the monitor, pointed at the screen and said, “Don’t you take a look at his data?”

“I’ve seen it,” Qin Jiu said.

“When did you see it?” Xiao Li asked in surprise.

“When I first woke up.”

“…”

While speechless, Xiao Li caught a glimpse of a patch of green on the back of Qin Zhu’s well-muscled hand.She is experienced and certainly knows how this kind of bruise is caused – if you don’t pay attention when injecting the drip and pull the needle, this will happen.

Then why does he pull on the needle?

When you first woke up, you were only focused on checking on the other person’s condition and didn’t notice that you were on an intravenous drip?

The gentle blue light of the monitor illuminated Qin Zhu’s profile, and the outline was made more profound and handsome by the light and shadow.He sat hunched over, with his fingers on his chin, his slightly lowered eyes fell on the head of the bed, and never looked away.

All the aggression and danger in he are restrained, like a calm waiter.

Xiao Li originally wanted to say, “I’d better put the IV on for you,” but she felt that the environment was not suitable for speaking.She thought about it and decided to avoid it first…

I avoided this for three days.

In the past three days, except for washing, Qin Jiu basically never left that position.

Xiao Li couldn’t hold it back anymore and complained to the director: “I eat normally. I don’t know if he slept or not. Anyway, every time I go there, he is awake.”

The director asked: “Where is the data?”

“Oh, the monitor is always on, so he is healthier than me.” Xiao Li said angrily.

The director said hesitantly: “That’s okay…”

“Director, are you afraid of him?”

“Nonsense!”

“Then why don’t you scold him?” Xiao Li said, “If any patient did this in the past, you would definitely scold him in front of him and scold him. We need him to be honest now, and we will have a comprehensive examination tomorrow. What if he doesn’t say anything until two days later?”

The director said seriously: “No, people from Lao Wu and the army will come tomorrow, and they will definitely explain the matter to him. Once you understand, you will cooperate.”

“Wait a minute… do you think he is acting like this because he is uncooperative?” Xiao Li asked.

“No, maybe you still don’t trust us.” The director said deeply, “After all, their previous experiences… are indeed quite complicated. I would only be more vigilant. You don’t understand.”

Xiao Li silently glanced at the director’s bald head and felt that he could not communicate with the middle-aged and elderly antiques.

Qin’s mobile phones were also included in the review and were taken away as soon as they entered the hospital.So Qin Zhu’s waiting was really just waiting, not even anything to pass the time.

Xiao Li tried to put himself in someone else’s shoes. If it were him, he would have been unable to sit still.She has always felt that Qin Jiu is not a gentle person. A sharp-edged person has an edge even when he is calm. It is hard to imagine that he is so patient.

One time, Xiao Li couldn’t hold it back anymore and said to him: “There is a special reminder bell here. When he wakes up, just press it and we will all know. It won’t delay anything. You don’t have to keep an eye on it like this.”

Qin Jiu said: “It’s okay, I’m not afraid of delays.”

Xiao Li was curious: “What’s the reason for that?”

Qin Zhu smiled lazily and did not answer.

Xiao Li knew the rules well and didn’t ask any more questions.She just occasionally thinks, how long will this person have to wait?

Fortunately, this time did not last too long.

The next day, it was also early in the morning. Xiao Li also had to change shifts with his colleagues all night long. Before handing over, he did a final routine check on the room.

She hung up the new intravenous drip bottle, adjusted the speed, briefly told Qin Jiu some precautions, and planned to leave.

Just as she retreated outside the ward and closed the door, she suddenly saw the person who had been waiting for a long time leaning forward through the square glass.

Outside the half-open curtains was a vast expanse of cold white. It snowed heavily for three consecutive days in keeping with the solar terms, and it was freezing cold.

The corridor was colder than the room. The little nurse stood there in a daze for a long time. It wasn’t until she felt a touch of coldness on her fingertips that she realized… the person in the hospital bed finally woke up.

…

Youhuo walked a long, long way in his dream. As soon as he reached the end, he felt like he was being hugged.

A familiar aura enveloped him, strong, intimate and gentle.He’s frown, which was frowned due to discomfort, slowly relaxed. Before he could fully open his eyes, he whispered in a hoarse voice: “Qin Zhu?”

Youhuo didn’t speak for a long time and couldn’t really make a sound, but Qin Zhu seemed to have heard it…

he seems to always be heard.

he’s deep voice fell in Youhuo’s ear and said, “I’m here.”

He said: “My dear, you have been asleep for a long time.”

That day the little nurse asked him why he was waiting so closely.

he didn’t answer.

In fact, it’s because a long time ago, he said something to his examiner.He said: When you get out of this unfortunate system, I will accompany you to check your eyes again.It doesn’t matter if you need surgery, I will be waiting next to you, waiting for you to open your eyes.

Later, due to various accidents, he missed that scene and even forgot this sentence… He has always been worried about it.

So this time, no matter what, he didn’t want to break his promise.

From now on, he will never break his promise again.
