Chapter 543 - Bad Influence on the Young People (1/2)
The hospital seemed to be noisy and lively, but it was actually a gloomy place, filled with sorrow and departures every day.
Night Tide Sands and her family waited quietly in the lobby. The families of other patients were waiting too.
Occasionally, vague sobs could be heard.
The Qi family would peep at the source of the sound and then withdraw their gazes.
They were rather scared that they would be as hopeless as those crying people later.
At midnight, they were so drowsy that they fell asleep on the chairs. Then, they woke up again when their heads subconsciously lowered. They slept intermittently just like that. Very soon, it was dawn.
No doctors or nurses informed them of anything for a whole night.
Qi Shaoqiu’s father couldn’t hold it anymore. Seeing a nurse coming out of the ICU, he stepped up and asked, “Nurse, may I know how Qi Shaoqiu is doing?” “His condition is stable. He should be slowly recovering.”
The Qi family were all greatly relieved to hear that.
Seeing how exhausted they were, the nurse suggested, “You really can’t help much here. You should go back and take a rest. If you’re overly exhausted, you might not be able to help when you’re really needed. You needn’t take care of anything while he’s still in the ICU. GO back and get some sleep.”
After that, the nurse quickly walked away.
Qi Shaoqiu’s father thought for a moment and said, “You two can go back first. Honey, you get some sleep and make some porridge. Then you can come and replace me. Night Tide Sands, take care of the saber arts club. I don’t think it can operate anymore with Shaoqiu’s wounds.”
Night Tide Sands pursed her lips. She was very regretful.
Her brother and she had devoted a lot of effort to the saber arts club, and it was finally on the right track. Yet, such an accident had happened.
n.o.body would be happy in such a situation.
“The Qi family always finishes what we started. Make refunds wherever you can and apologize to the students.”
Night Tide Sands nodded. There was nothing she could do however regretful she was.
She was incapable of the miaodao technique. Her father was good at it, but he was old and had other work to do. He couldn’t take over her brother’s work.
Could the saber arts club only be shut down, just like this?
Leaving the hospital, Night Tide Sands also got herself a public bike and unhurriedly rode to the saber arts club.
She thought that the saber arts club must be surrounded by students demanding a refund.
She heaved a long sigh and rode the bike lethargically.
Even though she knew that the saber arts club’s shutdown was inevitable, she wanted to delay it as much as possible.
However, although she rode the bike very slowly, she still returned to the saber arts club an hour later.
She looked at the door, stunned.
The turmoil that she imagined was nowhere to be seen. Sounds of exertion were coming out of the saber arts club as usual.
However, it wasn’t Qi Shaoqiu, but someone else, whose voice made her heart pound, that was giving out instructions.
It was Roland.
She slowly entered the saber arts club. Many students who were familiar with her voluntarily greeted her.
Then, she stood alone next to the cement floor.
Roland asked the students to practice on their own. Then he walked to Night Tide Sands and asked, “How is Shaoqiu doing?”
“The nurse said that his condition is stable.” Night Tide Sands blinked her eyes and pointed at the students. “What’s going on here?”
“I don’t think Qi Shaoqiu can teach anybody any time soon, so I’ll subst.i.tute for him,” said Roland with a smile. “I’m unemployed anyway. It will be fine if I spend some time here every day. Shaoqiu can have the saber arts club back after he’s recovered.”
Night Tide Sands counted the students, only to see that the number didn’t drop. “n.o.body asked for a refund?”
“No, no one.” Roland waved his hand.
Night Tide Sands looked at the saber arts club that was as lively as before and then at Roland who was smiling
She was almost crying.
She wanted to laugh too, and her heart beat even faster.
There were so many things that she wanted to say but couldn’t get out. Eventually, they were gathered into one simple question. “Have you had breakfast?”
“Not yet. I came in too much of a hurry.”
“Wait a moment. I’ll make breakfast for you.”
Night Tide Sands walked to the kitchen agilely, her sleepiness completely gone.
Roland took charge of the saber arts club.
He was already better at the miaodao technique than Qi Shaoqiu was. Besides, as the leader of a Magic Tower in the game, he had enough management experience, so it wasn’t a hard task for him.
He spent a whole day in the saber arts club and had his breakfast, lunch, and dinner here.
He had to admit that Night Tide Sands was really good at cooking.
He thought that Night Tide Sands was best at making breakfast, but the lunch and the dinner were much more tasteful than he had imagined.
The lunch she made was already very delicious, but the dinner was even more amazing.
She actually made water boiled cabbage in the way it was served at a state dinner, Kung Pao Chicken, and fried meat with peppers.
All the foods were astoundingly scrumptious.
Although she wasn’t as good as a real chef, she was definitely a great cook for an ordinary person.
