I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 259: Chapter 258: You’ve Gone Too Far

When eating in the cafeteria, most of the time the two of them ate separately. After all, in the military, spending too much time together, even as a couple, could easily attract gossip.

Once Beisitian walked in, she scanned the room but didn’t see Luo Xudong.

Although there were many people eating lunch, she could always spot Luo Xudong at a glance, maybe because he was quite tall!

After getting her food, just as Beisitian sat down, she saw Luo Xudong walking in from the door, and almost simultaneously, he looked over at her.

Their gazes met across the room, and their lips involuntarily curved into a faint smile.

”Wow~ this connection travels far! Showing love silently through so many people in between!” Ma Xiuli said, resting her chin on her hand with a mischievous smile.

”If you’re envious, then hurry up and find a man to marry.” Beisitian smiled back at her.

Ma Xiuli blushed, ”I won’t argue with a married woman like you.”

”You’re such a grown girl and still not married, isn’t your family about to sever ties with you?” Yu Shufang laughed.

Ma Xiuli’s face suddenly fell. If it wasn’t for hiding in the army, she might have gone on countless blind dates by now!

”What type do you like, tell us, with so many soldiers in the army, you’re bound to find a suitable one, right?” Yu Shufang nudged her with an elbow.

Shen Junping looked towards Ma Xiuli.

Ma Xiuli blushed completely, ”Sister Yu~~ how come the topic suddenly shifted to me!”

Although she could see Luo Xudong every day after work, it felt nice to be able to see him once at noon too.

A group of people quietly giggled as they finished lunch. Lunch had never been so enjoyable before. Now, gathering together, it felt quite nice.

Qi Xiu Hui didn’t say much, but the smile at the corners of her mouth never faded.

These past two days, Li Ying had been working diligently, even facing Chai Xiaohu’s cold face, she kept smiling, not even going to rehearsals, just staying here to take care of Chai Xiaohu.

For this, Chai Xiaohu didn’t express anything.

Even Tao Tao felt that Chai Xiaohu was going too far. The person wasn’t intentional, now she’s not going to rehearsals to take care of you, at least show a nice attitude!

”Sister Li Ying, I think that’s enough, I heard from Doctor Shen that she’ll get better after some rest, it’s not really a big issue!” Jiang Xiaoyu said, looking at Li Ying, who was carefully carrying a big basin of water to the washbasin, feeling somewhat indignant.

Li Ying smiled and said nothing, carrying such a big basin of water was already quite taxing, speaking would definitely cause it to spill.

Jiang Xiaoyu stood in the hallway watching Li Ying carry the empty basin out from the washbasin, pouting, ”She doesn’t even appreciate it.”

Li Ying sighed, ”This matter was originally my fault, if Sister Chai hasn’t driven me away, I’m already very grateful, how could there be a question of whether she appreciates it or not.”

”It wasn’t intentional!”

”Even if it wasn’t intentional, I still brought very serious consequences to Sister Chai. This performance was too important to her, just because of my carelessness, she missed this opportunity, no matter what I do, it’s not enough!” Li Ying hung her head, looking sad and apologetic.

”Sister Li Ying, you really are kind-hearted, others can’t do what you do!” Jiang Xiaoyu stepped forward, hugged her arm, and comforted her softly.

Li Ying patted her on the back of her hand, ”Thank you, Xiaoyu, for talking to me, I feel a little better, I have to hurry back to the ward now, no one should be left with Sister Chai alone.”

Watching Li Ying leave, Jiang Xiaoyu sighed and followed her back into the ward.

”It’s time to check the temperature.” Jiang Xiaoyu’s attitude towards Chai Xiaohu was somewhat cold.

Chai Xiaohu glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu and said to Li Ying, ”The thermos is out of hot water.”

Li Ying was startled, hurriedly bent down to lift it, sure enough, there wasn’t much left, ”I’ll go get some, Sister Chai, wait a moment.” With that, she lifted the thermos and walked out.

After Li Ying left, Chai Xiaohu looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and coldly asked, ”What were you two talking about just now?”

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at her, ”Just chatting.”

”Chatting about what?”

Jiang Xiaoyu frowned, ”Why should I tell you what I talked about with Sister Li Ying!”

Chai Xiaohu’s eyebrows were full of indifference, ”Hmph, you wouldn’t think she’s doing this for my good, right?”

Jiang Xiaoyu widened her eyes, ”If it’s not for your good, then could it be for mine?”

”Li Ying never does anything that doesn’t benefit her!”

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Chai Xiaohu in disbelief, ”You’re too much, not only are you ungrateful, you’re also defaming Sister Li Ying behind her back!”

Sister Li Ying! Sister Li Ying!

Hearing that title just made Chai Xiaohu angry. Why should a mistake-maker be so well-liked by people!

”I wasn’t defaming her, what I said is the truth!” As Chai Xiaohu got angry, her breathing became rapid, suddenly feeling a stabbing pain in her chest.

Jiang Xiaoyu saw this, dared not provoke her, but she was also very angry, ”Ten minutes later, just take out the thermometer, I’ll come to get it! And if you accidentally break it, you have to pay for it!” After saying this, she turned and left.

Going downstairs, she told this to Tao Tao, and Beisitian happened to be nearby. Irritated, she asked, ”Doctor Xiao Bei, don’t you think she’s being awful!”

Beisitian remained silent.

The two young nurses chatted loudly, the more they talked, the less they thought of Chai Xiaohu.

Ding Sisi was also in the second consultation room chatting with a few people; today was her day to do rounds.

”That Chai Xiaohu must have been agitated, today she cornered me to talk about how awful Li Ying is, saying she’s doing this for a purpose, saying she got hurt so Li Ying would have a chance to step in. But Li Ying hasn’t even gone to rehearsals, what is there to step into!” Ding Sisi muttered.

”People are like that. If Li Ying didn’t stick to her like a limpet to take care of her, maybe she wouldn’t have such emotions. She’s just spoiled!” Zhang Meili said.

”But I heard Chai Xiaohu is quite nice, very talented, sings well, and has good relations, why would she be like that?” Zhang Hui Ping said.

”You only know a person’s face, not their heart. You don’t know if it’s an act. When it comes to talent, Li Ying is truly talented, that Chai Xiaohu at best just sings well; she’s just jealous of Li Ying!” Zhang Meili snorted, feeling she’d uncovered the truth.

Luo Jiali, standing to the side, remained silent. She listened to them chatting about this and that every day. Honestly, even though she could hear some news, most of it was useless information.

It’s fine for women to gossip a little, but baseless speculations without limits, that’s a problem.

The affairs between Chai Xiaohu and Li Ying were not something she wanted to get involved in. She was wondering if once she got permanent status, she could transfer to another consultation room.
