484 All Because of a Photograph (1/2)
”What the hell! Is this Ling Ran?” Doctor Zhou who was scrolling through his Weibo newsfeed suddenly leaped out of his seat. He yelled loudly as if he was about to announce earth-shattering news.
”What's with Ling Ran?” Zhao Leyi's voice was so muffled that it sounded like it was ringing out from beneath two layers. He was debriding the wound of a patient whose thigh had been clamped by the door. As the patient was so scared that he soiled himself, there was even a bit of a stench.
Doctor Zhou stood up and paced around excitedly. ”Didn't you look at your Weibo newsfeed? Meng Xue! We're talking about Meng Xue here!”
”I don't have time for that. Do you know how many surgeries… Hey, Old Zhou, come over here…”
”Why should I go over there?!” Even though Doctor Zhou's voice was hoarse from all that shouting, he turned and chuckled. ”We're both on the night shift and have each performed a surgery. No one's bullying anyone, right? Are you blaming me for your inefficiency?”
”You just removed corn earlier!” Zhao Leyi's voice was trembling, both from anger and from the fact that he could not take the stench anymore.
Doctor Zhou shrugged. ”What's wrong with treating corns? They hurt a lot too, okay? You're just treating a wound near the patient's a**hole right now, anyway. Why, do you find a**holes classier than corns?”
”I… Wait for me while I finish suturing the patient's wound.” Zhao Leyi was so angry that he no longer knew what to say. He inserted the needle into the patient's skin and started suturing, and he was slightly faster than usual.
As he sutured the patient's wound, Zhao Leyi felt that something was off. He then glanced at the patient's pants and said slowly to the nurse beside him, ”The stain didn't seem this big just now.”
”Yes, I think so…” The nurse was a little confused. Both of them had been working for an entire day, and their IQ was not exactly high right now.
The patient who was lying on his stomach smiled wanly. ”I kind of couldn't… in anymore.”
”What?”
”I kind of couldn't hold it in anymore.” The patient lowered his voice and said in a hushed tone, ”I had hot pot before this.”
”Are you talking about the time before you got clamped by the door?”
”Yes… I can't hold it in anymore…” As the patient spoke, his voice became softer and softer. At the same time, the muscles of his thighs contracted in a strange manner.
Zhao Leyi swiftly rose. Even so, the faint stench traveled through the air into his nostrils...
”I'll be back in a bit.” Zhao Leyi turned and left. He hated this type of people who ate a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes during hot pot meals the most.
Since Zhao Leyi had left temporarily, Doctor Zhou was the only attending physician left in the treatment room.
Doctor Zhou roamed around freely like a Border Collie. He held up his mobile phone and walked toward an ordinary-looking resident doctor who looked relatively free.
”Did you see this hot topic on Weibo?” Doctor Zhou waved the screen of his phone in front of the ordinary-looking resident doctor.
The resident doctor had not slept for seventeen hours. He opened his eyes and asked, ”What's a Weibo hot topic?”
”Weibo's hot topics means… Wait, what on earth have you been doing all this while?” Doctor Zhou wore a baffled expression.
The resident doctor gave Doctor Zhou's question serious thought and answered, ”Working.”
”Oh my God, that's so uninteresting.” Doctor Zhou waved and looked at the young nurse beside him. ”You should know about it, right? The hot topic.”
”Shut up. I'm very busy.” The young nurse was holding her phone and typing furiously, alternating between a Weibo group and a QQ group.
Doctor Zhou found these people uninteresting. After he gave it some thought, he simply went to the ward area with his cell phone.
Most of the patients in the ward area laid obediently on their hospital beds. Since they had nothing to do and were bored, they soon started engaging in a conversation with Doctor Zhou.
”It's so unexpected for Meng Xue to have a boyfriend. It's very unexpected indeed!”
”It's not even someone from the entertainment scene. Who would have thought about it?”
”Hey, take a good look at it. That's Doctor Ling! Meng Xue's boyfriend is Doctor Ling!”
The patients reacted in a much more normal manner.
