Chapter 73: Sister-in-law, You Don’t Seem Local
He Shang asked in surprise: “Aren’t you not going to see Xiao He? Why are you preparing to go now?”
Xie Jingyan said slowly: “Zhaozhao is at Jingya. Her hand is still injured, and I want to go take a look.”
He Shang: “Damn, that’s fine. Are you going to greet her when you meet?”
Xie Jingyan hesitated, equivocating: “We’ll talk about it when the time comes. I want to quietly take a look. Once I confirm she’s okay, I’ll feel relieved.”
He Shang patted his shoulder: “I can see now that you’re really serious. I’ll go with you.”
The two took a cab and headed to Jingya Hospital.
……
Jingya Hospital is very large.
Sui Qingshan has already started working inside. With his excellent resume, the hospital couldn’t refuse such an excellent doctor.
After negotiations with the hospital, he once again became Xiao He’s attending doctor.
Jiang Ning followed the address Sui Qingshan gave her and knocked on the door of his office.
It was now half an hour before Sui Qingshan was due to go to work.
Sui Qingshan saw Jiang Ning, put down his coffee, and beckoned to Jiang Ning: “Come here.”
Jiang Ning closed the door and grinned: “Cousin, I’m here.”
Sui Qingshan looked at her helplessly: “Last time you had a small foot fracture, and now you’ve messed up your hand like this. Does it still hurt?”
Jiang Ning shook her head: “It doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s been half a month. Can I get the stitches removed now?”
Jiang Ning unwrapped the bandage, revealing a knife wound like a centipede.
A trace of heartache flashed across Sui Qingshan’s brow: “You, you just won’t let us worry. Wait for the wound to heal a bit more. In a few days, when you return to Jin Cheng, get it removed. I’ll apply some more ointment for you that can remove the scar.”
He took out the ointment from the drawer.
Jiang Ning extended her left hand, feeling the cool touch of the ointment, which gave momentary relief to the itchy wound.
When a person feels comfortable, it’s easy to let their thoughts wander.
That’s not right.
If the top grade isn’t Wei Jin, then who is it?
Could it be that Meng Jing is also deceiving her?
Or did he not participate in competitive mathematics and was just lying to her?
But in the days of interacting with Meng Jing, Jiang Ning knew that the other party didn’t seem like someone who would lie.
She felt a bit melancholic. So the question is, where is the person!
Sui Qingshan rewrapped fresh gauze for her.
“Alright, the wound is recovering well. I’ll take you to eat this afternoon. You’ll head back to Jin Cheng tonight?”
“No need to trouble yourself. I’ll take the high-speed rail back to Jin Cheng myself this afternoon and won’t disturb you.” Jiang Ning stood up and waved to Sui Qingshan.
It was just in time for him to start work, with patients lining up outside.
Sui Qingshan didn’t try to keep her, because he didn’t know when he’d have time either.
“Be careful on the way back.”
“I know.”
Jiang Ning arrived in the corridor.
Her mobile phone rang once. It was a message from Meng Jing.
Chunfen: [Where are you at Jingya?]
Jiang Ning’s heart skipped a beat: [Are you coming?]
Chunfen: [I’ve already returned to Jin Cheng.]
Jiang Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Ling You Nan: [Shared location]
Ling Ling You Nan: [See? I’m really at Jingya. I didn’t lie to you.]
Jiang Ning thought the top grade was afraid she was being deceived, so to prove it was true, she sent the shared location.
Then she went to the chat page: [My belly hurts a bit. I’m going to the bathroom.]
After sending, Jiang Ning didn’t pay attention and went to find the bathroom.
Jingya is quite large, with many patients, and the bathrooms are packed.
Jiang Ning walked a long way before finding the bathroom in a remote back garden area of Jingya.
There was a grassy area here, a few big trees, many flowers planted, and a two-meter-high wall.
There were few people, making it suitable for walking dogs.
Outside the wall was the street.
……
Outside Jingya Hospital.
He Shang had a foxtail grass in his mouth that he didn’t know where he’d gotten: “Is the person still in the hospital?”
Xie Jingyan hesitated before clicking into the shared location, because he could clearly see Ning Zhao Zhao’s position, but it would also expose his own.
He clicked in and took a look.
Ning Zhao Zhao was only fifty meters away from him.
He Shang snatched the mobile phone: “Holy shit, this close. Let’s go, let’s go. You’ll see your little girlfriend right away.”
“Give me back my phone.”
He Shang dragged him and ran: “If you keep dawdling, she’ll be gone. What are you afraid of?”
He identified the direction and started running following the map.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Ning came out of the bathroom and was about to open her phone when a young woman clutching her belly and holding a dog leash approached.
“Sis, can you watch my dog for a bit? My belly hurts so much. Please.”
The young woman was stamping her feet anxiously.
Jiang Ning had no choice but to take the leash with her right hand, giving up the idea of playing with her phone.
“Go ahead. I’ll watch the dog for you.”
The young woman was delighted: “Thank you! You’re so kind. I’ll be out soon.”
Jiang Ning looked down and stared into the eyes of this golden retriever.
This golden retriever was large and well-behaved. With its owner gone to the bathroom, it squatted by Jiang Ning’s feet, tongue out, looking at her with a somewhat silly cuteness.
Jiang Ning squatted down and rubbed its head with her right hand: “Good dog, bark for me.”
The golden retriever tilted its head at Jiang Ning, seemingly not understanding.
Jiang Ning tugged its ears and demonstrated: “Like this, woof woof woof!”
Across the wall.
He Shang and Xie Jingyan finally arrived here.
They took a wrong turn, causing a little mishap.
Until a soft, sweet voice imitating “woof woof woof” came from inside the wall.
He Shang looked puzzled and lowered his voice: “She’s inside the wall, but… why is she barking like a dog?”
Xie Jingyan looked at Ning Zhao Zhao, who was only three meters away.
As long as he climbed over this wall, he could see her.
Xie Jingyan quickly exited the share.
He was afraid of suddenly appearing and scaring Ning Zhao Zhao, so being this close made him even more hesitant.
He Shang was speechless, seeing him stand there for minutes without moving.
He pushed him aside: “Enough, get out of the way. Let me take a look for you.”
He stepped back a few steps, used his momentum to jump, and climbed onto the top of the wall.
As soon as he poked his head out, he locked eyes with a big golden retriever.
He Shang: “…”
He looked left and right; there was no one else around in the quiet area.
His gaze strangely shifted to the golden retriever. Was that “woof woof woof” just now from it? It was way too human-like.
He Shang turned his head, looking conflicted and hesitant: “I don’t think your sister-in-law looks local…”
Xie Jingyan knew the answer to this question and replied: “She’s from Jin Cheng, just came to the capital city to study.”
“Is that so…”
He Shang looked at the golden retriever again; it was a male dog.
“It’s a Huang Mao.”
Huang Mao?
Did she dye her hair?
Xie Jingyan really didn’t know.
“No problem, I don’t mind Huang Mao either.”
“What does she look like?”
He Shang: “…”
Um…
This dog is pretty good-looking.
He smacked his lips: “Clear brows and bright eyes… a good breed.”
Xie Jingyan: “?”
He also took a few steps back for momentum.
He climbed onto the wall, and the golden retriever tilted its head looking at the two, like they were clowns.
He Shang cleared his throat lightly: “I told you your sister-in-law doesn’t look local. I wasn’t wrong, right?”
Xie Jingyan: “…”
“Are you sick?”
But where’s the person?
The golden retriever suddenly barked furiously at the two.
If not for the leash tied to the tree trunk, it would have jumped over.
