As expected, Ren Qingzhou didn't call that night. Moreover, due to the medicine, Su Tang felt listless and went to bed early.
The next day, she went to the company and talked to her supervisor. Fortunately, her current supervisor was a reasonable person. Hearing her hoarse voice, the supervisor didn't make things difficult for her. Instead, the supervisor just told her to go to the hospital for an infusion earlier every day and asked a few concerned questions about her health.
At Tencent, there's no need to punch in for work. But generally, employees tend to arrive late, and it's rare for them to leave early.
As soon as she got to the hospital today, Dr. Fang was indeed in the emergency department. When he saw her coming, he greeted her: "You're a bit late today."
"I still have to go to work during the day." Su Tang thanked him again: "Thank you for what happened yesterday."
Hearing this, Fang Haoran laughed: "It sounds so awkward when you keep calling me 'you' in such a formal way. My name is Fang Haoran. I'm 32 this year, about the same age as you. Just call me by my name. There's no need for such a polite form of address."
"Okay." Su Tang didn't know how to respond. She had only met this Dr. Fang three times at most, but his enthusiasm was really a bit scary to her.
Seeing her extremely reserved, Fang Haoran explained: "You're from Yuncheng, right?"
Su Tang was taken aback. Then she thought that he must have known from her registration information.
"Yes."
"I'm also from Yuncheng, but later I moved to the city with my parents. We can be considered fellow villagers."
As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, their eyes fill with tears.
Maybe because they were both from Yuncheng, Fang Haoran's concern for Su Tang didn't seem so out of place.
After getting the medicine prescribed today, Su Tang went to get an intravenous drip.
When she sat down, she found that Fang Haoran was still there. He was holding a hot water bag in his hand. Seeing that there was no one next to her, he sat directly beside her.
"This liquid may make you feel a bit uncomfortable. Here, take this."
"You look much better than yesterday."
Su Tang took the hot water bag and chatted with him for a few more words. Then she heard someone calling him, so he left first.
Ren Qingzhou was also busy today. It was not until the afternoon when he was finally less busy that he called Su Tang, but no one answered.
The filming of the crew at the film and television base was coming to an end, and Ren Qingzhou didn't have many scenes left.
Su Tang was still in the hospital and didn't dare to answer his call.
So she sent him a WeChat message first: "I'm a bit busy now. I'll call you later."
Ren Qingzhou replied quickly: "Okay."
It was not until she left the hospital that she dared to call him back, but they didn't talk for long.
In the evening, Fang Ting came on her own. She didn't ask Su Tang to pick her up. She went straight to the entrance of Su Tang's residential community and then called her: "Tangtang, the security guard in your community won't let me in."
The security work here was indeed quite strict. Su Tang called the property management. Soon, she heard the doorbell ring.
Fang Ting was standing at the door with her suitcase in tow: "Is it convenient for me to stay at your place?"
Since she had come from so far away, there was no way to let her stay in a hotel. Su Tang took her suitcase: "You'll stay with me."
"I made you come from so far away. I really..." Su Tang didn't know how to express her feelings.
"Come on, we're good friends. Don't mention this." Fang Ting sat on the sofa and took a look at the living room: "Ren Qingzhou has good taste in decorating this house."
"How's your illness?"
She jumped from one topic to another, but Su Tang could still keep up with her: "It's nothing serious. I'll be fine after a few days of infusion."
As she was speaking, Su Tang found a quilt for her: "You can cover this one."
"Okay. Did you really not tell Ren Qingzhou about your illness this time?"
"No. I didn't even tell my mom. It's just a minor illness. There's no need to make a big deal out of it."
"Didn't you feel lonely when you were in the hospital alone?"
"Aren't you here now?"
"Alright."
Fang Ting not only came herself but also brought her work. As a programmer, she could work remotely. So she really carried her computer and went to the hospital with Su Tang.
The emergency department prescribed medicine on a daily basis. The emergency doctor today was no longer Fang Haoran. It was another older doctor.
Su Tang was pricked with a needle again. Somehow, the nurse who pricked the needle recognized her: "You're not alone today."
Su Tang nodded. After she got the injection, she packed up her things and left.
Fang Ting found a place to sit down and started to work on her own things.
Su Tang didn't see Fang Haoran again for the next two days.
On the last day, after the nurse gave her the injection, she asked: "This is the last day, right?"
Su Tang responded, and the nurse didn't say anything else. After a while, a young nurse came over and asked her: "Are you Dr. Fang's patient?"
Seeing her nod, the nurse said seriously: "Our hospital has a regulation that we need to conduct regular follow - up on patients. Are you convenient to leave your WeChat? You can also ask him questions on WeChat if you have any problems."
Su Tang looked at her in surprise. In her impression, doctors didn't seem to like leaving their contact information for patients.
The young nurse explained: "Not everyone is asked to leave their contact information. If you're not willing, it's okay. Dr. Fang is in the operating room right now and can't come here in person, so he asked me to come."
Su Tang thought that this might be a task of the hospital, and most likely they wouldn't leave a personal WeChat. So she nodded: "Okay."
The young nurse took out a notebook from her pocket: "Just write it here."
After getting Su Tang's contact information, the nurse went back to the nurse station.
Fang Ting watched all this silently. After the nurse left, she finally said: "This Dr. Fang?"
"He was my first - attending doctor. We're also fellow villagers."
"Could it be that he wants your WeChat for himself?" Fang Ting started her conspiracy theory again.
Su Tang quickly stopped her dirty thought: "Don't talk nonsense. Dr. Fang is a very nice person. He's just simply concerned about the patients."
"O~" Fang Ting was too lazy to refute her: "You wait. I'll go and find out the truth."
After saying that, she got up and walked away. Su Tang couldn't stop her and watched her run away in a hurry.
Before Fang Ting reached the nurse station, she heard the chattering voices of a group of young nurses.
"Did you get it?"
"Of course. There's nothing I can't do."
"Let's see how Dr. Fang will thank me."
"He's so oblivious. We'll go and give him a hint."
"I saw him running to help someone in the corridor a few days ago, but he didn't even get the person's contact information."
"Do you think Dr. Fang knows how to pursue a girl?"
Well, there was no need to find out. As expected, where there were many women, there was a lot of gossip. It seemed that this Dr. Fang was probably interested in Su Tang.
Fang Ting strolled back.
Su Tang was really as dull as a wooden block, just like this Dr. Fang.
She couldn't even react.
"Su Tang, you may be having a lot of romantic luck recently."
"What's going on?"
"According to reliable information, Dr. Fang wants to flirt with you, but he's too dull to ask you for your contact information directly."
【??? .jpg】
"Is that impossible?" Su Tang was so surprised that her mouth could fit an egg: "Are you sure?"
"I heard it from the nurses at the nurse station. It's absolutely true."
"Maybe it's just because we're fellow villagers?"
"..."
Can you see my speechless face?
"You just wait. He won't keep silent forever."
In the evening, Dr. Fang finally contacted her on WeChat.
At first, he just inquired about her health. Later, they talked about Yuncheng.
Fang Haoran went to school in the city, but he had lived in Yuncheng for a while when he was a child. Moreover, his grandparents still lived in Yuncheng. He knew Yuncheng very well.
Su Tang hadn't seen many fellow villagers since college. People from their place were quite attached to their hometown and rarely went so far away. Meeting Fang Haoran made her feel a bit emotional.
But because of what Fang Ting had said, she felt a bit nervous and didn't know how to respond to Fang Haoran.
Fang Ting was watching from the side silently.
"The one who comes may have ill intentions. Ren Qingzhou should be a bit aware of the crisis."
Fang Ting worried about Ren Qingzhou.
Su Tang reached out to pat her: "What are you thinking about all day long?"
"I'm thinking about things that a normal person can see."
What she said made Su Tang a bit scared: "He can't really be like what you said, right?"
"Be more confident. Remove the word 'can't'."
"But he didn't ask me directly either. I can't just ignore him all of a sudden." It wasn't that Su Tang was a person who couldn't say no. They just talked about their hometown. He didn't ask if she had a boyfriend, nor did he show that he was looking for a partner. If Su Tang suddenly said to him, "Sorry, I have a boyfriend,"
What if he didn't mean that way? It would be really embarrassing.
Fang Ting took the phone and flipped through their chat records.
"He's already asked which street your family is on. If he asks further, he'll come to visit your home, sister."
Just as she finished speaking, Su Tang's phone rang.
It was Ren Qingzhou.
Fang Ting stuffed the phone back to her: "Your official boyfriend finally remembers his girlfriend."
For a moment, Su Tang felt a bit guilty.
Ren Qingzhou's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Tiantian, have you got off work?"
"I'm already home."
"The filming of the crew at the film and television base will be over soon. I'll be back soon."
"Okay."
"Don't you miss me?"
Emmmmm, wasn't there someone else at home...
It's not a good behavior to show affection in front of others.
Su Tang looked at Fang Ting. Fang Ting rolled her eyes and left the scene of the public display of affection.
"I miss you. Come back quickly."
"Okay. I won't talk to you anymore. I have something to do."
As soon as the call ended, Fang Ting walked out from inside: "If he doesn't come back soon, he'll lose his girlfriend."
Su Tang pushed her: "Don't talk nonsense. We're fine."
"We're fine now, but we may not be in the future. Look at you two. You've been in a long - distance relationship for so long. It's really bad for your relationship."
"Moreover, dare you tell your mom about the two of you?" Fang Ting hit the nail on the head. Su Tang really didn't dare.
In her mother's eyes, Ren Qingzhou's occupation was basically equivalent to being unreliable.
If she was with such a person, her mother would rush to City S and beat her to death on the spot.
