A week is neither long nor short. It's time to leave the hospital. Wu Hui owns very few things, only the handbag, which reduces the weight of a bunch of keys. The hospital prescribed medicine and a pair of crutches. She was able to walk around on the third day after waking up, but she could not let her injured leg touch the ground. Until now, going up and down stairs and moving long distances still requires help from others.
It was already dark, but Qiwen did not come to pick her up as promised. He didn't borrow the office phone to call the hospital, so Wu Hui just waited until evening. She had packed everything, but she still felt a little upset after waiting until now.
"I'm going to get off work."
Mo Weiming held his briefcase and glanced at her from outside the door.
"Oh, it's quite early today." Wu Hui responded, looking out the window. Her mind was not on the hospital.
"I don't have any late shifts these days. I heard the nurse said that she stopped by to take a look at you before you were picked up."
"Stop by and take a look at the most remote ward. I'm interested." She teased.
"If you leave tomorrow, you will have to pay for one extra day of hospitalization fees." He seemed to remind him kindly.
Wu Hui's eyes that had been staring out the window finally retracted and fell on Mo Weiming. She frowned slightly, and her calm face had a hint of resentment that could just be detected. The lack of solid news is really frustrating.
"It's not about the cost," she shook her head. "It would be better if nothing happens to him."
"As a reporter, he has many enemies?"
"Then, that doesn't mean...maybe it's because you have to work overtime, right? For example, there's an emergency somewhere..."
"The world has not been very peaceful recently."
"yes."
It's rare that the two of them didn't quarrel. Wu Hui leaned on the bedside and looked out the window. From this angle, you can't actually see the main door of the hospital. Directly below is not the main entrance of the hospital, so no one can be seen entering or exiting. Mo Weiming still held his bag and did not move outside the door. As if after thinking for a while, he finally asked:
"Shall I take you back?"
Wu Hui turned around again.
"you……?"
"I said before that I was going to move to Ziwei Apartment, did you forget?"
She didn't hide her surprise. "What?" She frowned deeper, "You're not joking? And you said... you've already moved there?"
"Yes, just yesterday. I have already known that the furniture there is very full, and I don't have much luggage. In other words, from today on, I will go home with you." He paused for a moment and pushed. He checked his glasses and said, "Now there will be many rickshaws waiting for medical staff to get off work at the door. If it gets later, they will be gone."
In this way, Qiwen, if he is tomorrow...
Perhaps sensing her concerns, Mo Weiming added, "Come to the hospital tomorrow morning, and I can call your colleagues to tell you that they don't have to come. Even though you're off work, there's no need for labor charges. However, the travel expenses have to be shared equally."
This man is really calculating in every aspect, which makes Wu Hui feel ashamed. But...she really wanted to go back. She didn't feel comfortable anywhere in an unfamiliar place. And although Dr. Mo's words are very annoying, she can also see these days that as a doctor, he is indeed responsible. Maybe what he said was a solution.
Mo Weiming handed over the gauze and said, "The gauze on your eyes can usually be removed in seven to ten days. If you are afraid that it will be inconvenient to move, I can remove it for you first. The light at night will not be very strong. If If you feel any discomfort, please tell me."
Wu Hui just stood up, thought for a while, nodded, and he helped her take off the gauze. The day before, she could actually open her eyes freely through the gauze. She blinked, not feeling any discomfort in her left eye that was exposed to the light of day again. Her eyes were dark and bright, just like her long hair.
"Can you see clearly? Do you feel like your vision is blurry, or there are double images or something like that?"
"No, it's normal...I seem to be able to see more clearly than before."
"That's good. Logically speaking, there is still a set of examination procedures to go through. But I know you are fine, as long as you strictly follow the doctor's instructions. Be sure to use the prescribed eye drops according to the instructions."
After that, he watched her walk out
Ward door, go downstairs. Every step had to be done very carefully, and the slightest mistake would cause her to gasp in pain. Mo Weiming was calm and said that it would have been better if she had been hit later. The hospital is planning to install an elevator, and the plan has been approved.
"...Can't I not get hit?"
"Oh, yes. It's still possible."
Wu Hui couldn't help but stretched out a cane to block his feet, and he avoided it nimbly as he expected.
This embarrassing scene was seen by nurse Yushu, who was pushing the medical cart, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "We have a good relationship." As soon as she said a joke, a skinny old man in a white coat glared at her. Yushu quickly pushed the cart away. The old man's eyes weren't friendly either. Mo Weiming just waved at him and left with Wu Hui.
"What happened suddenly?"
"It's our director."
"I should have just filed a lawsuit against you."
No matter what, she finally moved down the stairs slowly, although the process was very difficult. Mo Weiming also said that people like her who were unable to move should have been placed on the first floor. But it was getting cold, some sections of the road were icy, many elderly people and children fell, and there was no space on the first floor. This happens every year at the beginning of winter, which is one of the reasons why hospitals consider installing elevators.
As he spoke, Wu Hui listened silently. The two of them only need to walk through the final corridor and the front yard before they can go out and take the car. When walking through the emergency room, Wu Hui suddenly let out a short exclamation and her whole body froze.
"ah--"
"What's wrong……?"
She was still standing still, but her pupils were darting around in panic, as if she was trying to catch something - or, in other words, looking for it. She stopped making any movements for a while, but her breathing became unsteady. She saw something out of the corner of her eye and turned her head sharply to look into the emergency room. But the half-open door was empty, with nothing in it.
"What did you see?" Mo Weiming said keenly.
"...No, it's nothing." She shook her head, "I must have seen it wrong."
"You may see some floc, like flying insects. This is normal, because your vitreous body after surgery..." Mo Weiming realized something and stopped the topic, "Forget it, don't worry too much anyway."
"Y-yeah? Okay."
In fact... there was a black shadow rushing toward her. Should she say that? The black shadow was huge and very fast. But nothing happened, it just disappeared into thin air. She thought to herself that it was probably because the lights flickered, or for some other reason. After that, another shadow seemed to flash across the emergency room on the side. But now there's no one inside, the lights aren't on, it's just pitch black.
It should be no big deal. Even if something happens, he will live downstairs now...
They finally got out of the hospital gate before the last rickshaw driver left. Neither of them were too serious, but there was still some distance between the hospital and the apartment. Even though the driver was a young and strong man, he was sweating all over after arriving at the destination. Wu Hui was helped out of the car and when she saw Mo Weiming turned around and gave the driver a little more change. He casually told me to drink some warm water and avoid blowing wind. It is easiest to catch a cold now. The driver smiled and accepted the money, nodded repeatedly, and thanked the boss.
Nothing has changed. Walking into a familiar place, Wu Hui obviously relaxed a lot, and her hands got used to the crutches. Probably because she saw the doctor doing good things, she found Mo Weiming more pleasing to her eyes than before. The yard is not big, but it is kept clean, but it is a little damp. There was a bit of cooking fumes lingering in the air, and the clothes someone had hung to dry had not yet been collected. There was smoke and smoke everywhere. There are quite a few plants, and many bare trees are planted in unmaintained green areas, but the winter weeds are more vibrant than they look.
"The crape myrtle tree," she introduced as Mo Weiming kept looking at it, "that's how the name came from. I didn't know how foreign it was. I remember I brought some green ones with me before. I've only been away for seven days, and I feel like there aren't a few left. Leaves."
"The flowering season should be spectacular."
"That's true. But there are also a lot of mosquitoes, so be lucky."
"The conditions are better than where I lived before. It's just a little far away from the hospital."
Wu Hui turned to look at him
.
"As doctors, you are not so poor, right?"
"You're not rich either. Why, isn't it a good habit to be diligent and frugal? Money should be spent wisely and save as much as you can."
"You seem to be living alone?" Wu Hui asked again, "Are your parents not around? Will you also send a lot of money?"
"They're all gone."
"……Excuse me."
Mo Weiming waved his hand indifferently. His tone was so calm, just like when he mentioned his brother before. This attitude may have happened a long time ago... Wu Hui finally apologized for it, feeling that she shouldn't ask so many questions. With that said, they had already entered the building and were ready to continue moving up slowly.
"It's so annoying, there should be an elevator..." she complained, "I never found it difficult to go upstairs before."
"This is the tallest building in the neighborhood. However, it seems ordinary in Qianhua Lane."
Qianhua Lane is not an alley, but a large block, and it is the most prosperous area in Yaozhou. It is still brightly lit in the middle of the night. Because it is close to the dock, many businessmen seized the business opportunity, and an ordinary path was gradually built into the largest entertainment center in the city. The people who come and go here are all famous people, and there are many Western faces. In addition to traditional theaters, teahouses, and chess and card rooms, there are also restaurants, dance halls, coffee shops, cinemas, opera houses, casinos... It is no exaggeration to describe it as a hundred flowers blooming.
But such beautiful places are often the most chaotic in every sense of the word. Even among the local people in Yaocheng, there may be many people who will never set foot in it in their entire lives. Contact with people here is sometimes not a lucky thing.
"I haven't been there yet."
"I can't afford it either."
"Well?"
"I mean, who would be a serious person?"
