Chapter 102: Hospital (2) Flying Pig Web

  Since Lin Cuijie's mother arrived at the surgical ward, that middle-aged doctor seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only did he personally instruct the nurse to bandage Lin Xiaoyu's injured hand, but also carefully inquired about other injuries on Lin Xiaoyu's body, his attitude was so serious that it almost made Lin Xiaoyu think that another doctor had come to treat him.

  The nurse at this time also changed from the previous state of bandaging workers to a meticulous nurse, and every time she wrapped the gauze, she would ask Lin Xiaoyu if it hurt or not. This made Lin Xiaoyu feel completely speechless. To know that just now, it was this nurse's rough bandaging that made Lin Xiaoyu's face sweat profusely, and this nurse had never considered Lin Xiaoyu's feelings before.

  Lin Xiaoyu heard the middle-aged doctor call Lin Cijie's mother "Director", and Lin Xiaoyu already understood why the middle-aged doctor and the rough nurse had changed their attitude. If it weren't for Lin Cijie's mother, Lin Xiaoyu would not have received such meticulous care from these two medical staff. Lin Xiaoyu could only bitterly smile to herself in her heart. Nowadays, even going to the hospital for a check-up requires connections; this society has become increasingly speechless.

  "Doctor, is Lin Xiaoyu's injury okay?" asked Lin Cijie, who was watching the middle-aged doctor bandage Lin Xiaoyu's wound.

  "It's nothing, just a minor fracture of the metacarpal bone. The injuries on this classmate are all external wounds and didn't affect the tendons, bones or internal organs. As long as he rests for a period of time, he'll be fine." The middle-aged doctor's response also let Yan Nan and Lin Cijie breathe a sigh of relief.

  Lin Cijie's mother looked at her daughter with a puzzled expression, wondering why her precious daughter was so concerned about this boy. After all, her daughter had always been very cold towards boys. Lin Cijie's mother took another look at Lin Xiaoyu, and although the boy still had bruises on his face, his handsome appearance made him quite likable. Had her daughter taken a liking to this tall and handsome boy? And what was the relationship between this beautiful girl who was accompanying the boy and him? The way the beautiful girl looked at the boy with concern suggested that she also had a good relationship with him. Lin Cijie's mother was truly baffled by the relationships between these three high school students. However, as someone who didn't usually interfere in her daughter's private life, she didn't want to ask about it either. Her daughter had grown up, and it was time for her to walk her own path. Although Lin Cijie's mother doted on her daughter, having received higher education herself, she knew that there were some experiences that her daughter needed to go through on her own.

  "Doctor, when can I play ball with this injury?" Lin Xiaoyu thought of the provincial qualifying match she still had to attend and wondered if her injury would affect her appearance.

  "It depends on the recovery situation, but at least it will take a month. You'd better not play ball too early, because even if you recover, you can't handle intense exercise for a while." The middle-aged doctor replied.

  Lin Xiaoyu heard the doctor's words and knew in her heart that it would be difficult for her to play in the upcoming national middle school basketball qualifying match. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Lin Xiaoyu wasn't disappointed because she couldn't play due to injury, but rather because she couldn't contribute to the team.

  When the nurse finished bandaging Lin Xiaoyu's injured hand, the middle-aged doctor handed Lin Xiaoyu a prescription to pick up medicine at the pharmacy and meticulously explained the usage and efficacy of those medicines. Lin Xiaoyu was taken aback by the prescription because it only listed three medications, although the handwriting was still the doctor's characteristic messy scrawl, but Lin Xiaoyu knew that this prescription absolutely wasn't the one written by the doctor before Lin Cijie's mother arrived with two full pages.

  Lin Cijie's mother took Lin Xiaoyu and Yan Nan to the pharmacy. When she saw Lin Cijie's mother directly entering the pharmacy to get medicine for herself, Lin Xiaoyu looked at those still waiting in line and felt a bit complicated. As Lin Xiaoyu grew up slowly, she felt that she could no longer see through this society, and many complex things were slowly changing her pure vision of society since childhood.

  Lin Cijie's mother learned about Lin Xiaoyu's injury from her daughter and was very grateful to Lin Xiaoyu for helping her daughter out of trouble. Not only did she help Lin Xiaoyu pay the medical expenses, but also invited Lin Xiaoyu to their home as a guest, saying that she would cook a good meal to thank Lin Xiaoyu properly.

  Lin Xiaoyu was a bit embarrassed by Lin Cijie's mother's enthusiasm, but fortunately, Lin Cijie interrupted her mother's endless thanks, allowing Lin Xiaoyu to escape. After declining Lin Cijie's mother's offer to arrange a car to send him and Yan Nan home, Lin Xiaoyu and Yan Nan took a taxi back.

  Lin Cijie's mother saw her beloved daughter gazing longingly at the two classmates as they drove away, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "My baby has grown up." Lin Cijie's mother didn't object to her daughter dating at this age. Having lived abroad, Lin Cijie's mother was more open-minded in her approach to educating her daughter. What young girl doesn't think of love? What young boy doesn't fall in love?

  Lin Cijie's mother was also quite satisfied with the tall and handsome young man, whose words and deeds were very proper. Even though he looked a bit disheveled due to his injury, he still exuded a sunny disposition. Lin Cijie's mother, who was good at observing people's character, knew that this young man was a very nice kid. However, she noticed that the young man seemed more intimate with the pretty girl beside him than with her own daughter, which made her feel uncertain about her daughter's feelings and also secretly worried. Lin Cijie's mother had also gone through adolescence herself, so she could see something from her daughter's unintentionally revealed eyes. She could see the girlish heart hidden in her daughter's reluctant gaze...

  Children are forever a concern in their parents' hearts. No matter what age the children are, parents always have endless worries.

  Yan Nan sent Lin Xiaoyu back home and then took out her own mobile phone from her bag and dialed a number.

  Mobile phones have just appeared in the country for a short time, and there are really not many people who can use them. On the street, everyone's waist is equipped with a pager. The taxi driver saw that this girl, still wearing her school uniform, actually had her own mobile phone, and felt a little surprised. The taxi driver looked at his own pager placed on the car seat and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling that this society was really amazing. He himself was over thirty years old and still using a pager, while this young girl who was still studying already had a mobile phone. The taxi driver was actually a little envious of these children born with a golden spoon.

  But admiration is just admiration, the taxi driver didn't forget his real identity in reality. The taxi driver started his car and slowly drove to the destination that the girl had told him. As a taxi driver who relies on driving to make a living, he knew very well that people can be envious of others to death, so after feeling a sense of regret, he threw himself into his work. He was quite satisfied with his current life, having a steady income, a virtuous wife, and an obedient daughter - all of these were treasures in his life, and he felt there was nothing to complain about.

  The taxi driver, who was driving while listening to the voice of the girl in the backseat on the phone, felt his sense of astonishment growing thicker. Because what the taxi driver heard from this beautiful girl's conversation on the phone was that one of her friends had been beaten up, and she was now asking the person on the other end of the line to help her find the people who beat up her friend, so she could take revenge.

  The taxi driver was astonished that this very pretty and well-dressed middle school girl would say such things over the phone. When he had just picked up these two student-looking passengers at the hospital entrance, the driver was a little curious why the boy wearing a basketball jersey had bloodstains on his body and bandages on his hands. However, the taxi driver had seen young and vigorous children fighting and getting injured before, but he had never seen a high school student use a mobile phone to call for revenge, let alone a pretty girl. This made the taxi driver wonder if this girl's family was involved in organized crime, or how else would she dare to use her phone to call for revenge? The movie-like scenario led the taxi driver to subconsciously assume that every mafia boss had a beautiful and fearless daughter who was not afraid of trouble.

  However, all of these are just the conclusions that the taxi driver keeps guessing curiously in his own mind. The taxi driver knows that no matter what kind of identity or background this girl has, she is just a passenger to him, and once they reach their destination, this passenger will have nothing to do with him at all. So, the taxi driver generally just treats these somewhat special passengers as a small pleasure in his daily repetitive work to spice up his spiritual life.

  The taxi stopped in the most expensive district of Feicui City. Yan Nan got out and handed the prepared money to the driver, saying "thank you" before turning around and leaving. The driver saw this beautiful girl being so polite and felt surprised again. There were really not many customers who thanked him when paying, and the driver was a bit suspicious if he had misheard what the girl said on her phone call in the car. If the driver hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have dared to believe that this polite and beautiful girl would ask someone to take revenge on another group of people just now on the phone.

  The taxi driver took a glance at the luxurious and elegant environment of the upscale neighborhood through the car window, and he couldn't help but let out a small sigh in his heart. The cheapest house in this area would cost him tens of years of not eating or drinking to afford, and the taxi driver dared not hope that he could live in such a place. After driving away the slight feeling of loss in his heart, the taxi driver continued to drive on the road to find his next passenger. He knew that a good life was not something to be envied, and that life didn't have to be about being wealthy or famous to be enjoyable. Everyone could find happiness in their own circle of life, and it was still important to live a simple and honest life, rather than chasing after an extravagant one...
