55 -54: Bandaging
Jiang Yunzheng initially thought that Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou were a couple trapped inside together.
When he hurried over, he even saw the two of them hugging each other.
That’s why he asked that question.
Tang Xi smiled faintly, “I’ve seen it, Captain Jiang, wouldn’t you go and tend to the wounds?”
The speaker was a young man beside Jiang Yunzheng named Adong, who scratched at the mosquito bites on his arm, “Brother Zheng said we shouldn’t disturb the patients…
It’s just a minor thing for us.”
Tang Xi was somewhat surprised.
She did not expect Captain Jiang, who seemed to have a tough exterior, to be so attentive to details.
Seeing several people in front of her, who had obtained multiple injuries while trying to rescue her and Fu Tingzhou, she went to the nurse’s station, fetched some medicine, and came over.
“Let me help you guys.”
Adong was somewhat surprised, “You?”
Tang Xi grinned, “I am a doctor, I still possess the basic skills of dressing and medicating wounds.”
“So Miss Tang is a doctor.” Adong smiled, “It’s been itching me to death, the bugs inside were as big as coins.
Even for a grown man like me, it feels quite uncomfortable.”
Tang Xi took the medical kit and started treating their wounds one by one.
Some wounds worsened due to excessive scratching.
She approached Jiang Yunzheng, “Captain Jiang.”
Jiang Yunzheng took off his jacket, revealing his muscular arms, with a scratch on his upper left arm.
Tang Xi took care of the dressing.
The man slowly lifted his dark eyes, gazing at the elegant and pure face of the woman in front of him; almost bare-faced yet exceptionally clear and beautiful.
Jiang Yunzheng looked away towards the distance.
The man murmured softly, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Tang Xi returned the medical kit to the nurse station and then left the emergency room.
Not far away, Jiang Yunzheng’s gaze lingered on the woman’s slender and gentle silhouette, in the air filled with the scent of disinfectant, yet carried a faint fragrance of Gardenia.
That was her scent.
Adong chuckled and nudged Jiang Yunzheng’s arm, “Brother Zheng, that Miss Tang is really nice.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is also gentle.
Grandma Shu has been urging you to get married.
I think Miss Tang is quite suitable…”
Jiang Yunzheng spoke indifferently, “What nonsense are you talking about, she is Fu Tingzhou’s girlfriend.”
“No, Brother Zheng, you misunderstood.
Her sister is Fu Tingzhou’s girlfriend, Fu Tingzhou is her…
brother-in-law.”
Jiang Yunzheng frowned, so that’s how it was.
He lifted his eyes towards the direction where Tang Xi had disappeared.
He subconsciously reached for his phone, then touched an object in his pocket, took it out, and it was Tang Xi’s phone.
At the time Tang Xi fell to the ground, he picked up her phone, and later followed her back into the depth of the jungle to find Fu Tingzhou.
Due to the urgent situation, he had forgotten to return it to her.
Staring at the phone, Jiang Yunzheng was somewhat lost in thought.
In his pocket, his own phone vibrated.
Jiang Yunzheng looked at the caller ID and quickly answered, “Grandma, you haven’t gone to sleep yet?”
“I heard from Mother Su that you haven’t gone home yet, where have you been so late?”
“There was a sudden matter at my squad.”
“You are ignoring such a huge family estate, insisting on doing this search and rescue work…
You are nearly thirty and still not getting a girlfriend.
What about Miss Dong from the Dong Family who grandma introduced last time?
She’s gentle, well-educated, and comes from a good family background, and our Shu Family has collaborated with them several times.”
“Grandma, I don’t like Dong Yuewei, let’s end this matter here.”
“Then what type do you like?”
“I…” Jiang Yunzheng pursed his lips slightly, clenched the phone he found in his left hand, and the faint smell of Gardenia appeared again at his nose, “Grandma, you should rest first.”
After hanging up, he looked down at Tang Xi’s phone.
He instructed Adong, “Go find out which hospital Tang Xi works at.”
Adong’s eyes lit up, “Brother Zheng, are you planning to take the initiative?”
“I…
just wanted to give her the phone.”
–
Tang Xi left the hospital, hailed a cab, and shared it with a young girl, heading towards the city center from the coastal area of North City.
Upon arriving at her rental place, the driver’s car stopped in an alley.
Having lost her phone, Tang Xi felt a pang of loss.
She ran back upstairs to get some cash for the driver, suspecting that she had lost it while stumbling through the jungle.
It was now around five o’clock in the afternoon.
She returned to the rental room, exhausted, and drank some water.
This trip was called off because she and Fu Tingzhou got stranded on an island, but at this moment, Tang Xi didn’t want to deal with anything; she just wanted to sleep well.
Lying on the couch, the woman slowly closed her eyes.
This sleep lasted until the next day.
Tang Xi propped herself up with the help of her phone, feeling groggy and starting to run a mild fever.
She opened the drawer, took out an ibuprofen, and, looking at the bright sky outside the window, subconsciously changed clothes to go to work.
It was only when she walked out the door that she remembered she was still on her ‘holiday.’
Xiao Chi had requested a week off for her.
It had only been four days so far.
Three more days to go.
And her luggage was still in the hotel.
Tang Xi went downstairs and bought a vegetarian bun at a breakfast stall near her.
She located a store and used a public phone to call Xiao Chi.
The second time she called, he answered.
“Xiao Chi, it’s me, Tang Xi.”
“Damn, where did you go?
You weren’t at the hospital either.”
“Ah, I…
went home.”
“Where are you?” Xiao Chi yelled impatiently, “I can’t reach you when I call; what kind of crappy phone are you using?
I can’t even hear clearly.
You always use these cheap things.
Tang Xi, let me tell you, if I can’t contact you again, I’ll throw your luggage into the sea to feed the sharks!”
Listening to Xiao Chi swear vociferously on the other end, Tang Xi couldn’t help but laugh.
And Xiao Chi heard her voice.
“What’s so funny!”
“Xiao Chi, I’m home.
I’m sorry, I lost my phone…
that’s why I’m calling you now…
my suitcase…”
“What a hassle, I know, you’re so forgetful.
Did you really lose the phone I gave you?”
“Sorry, it wasn’t intentional.”
“Call ended.” With those two words, the line went dead.
The man’s irritable voice seemed to linger in her ears, but Tang Xi’s face bore a smile, not feeling angry because she knew although Xiao Chi seemed like a haughty young master, he was not a bad person.
That afternoon, Tang Xi received a courier package.
It was her suitcase.
Xiao Chi had sent it over, and everything inside it was intact.
In the afternoon, she cleaned up the rental room, and feeling bored by herself with no phone available, she decided to make a trip to the hospital.
She remembered from last week’s schedule that Ruan Youqing was on night duty tonight.
“Weren’t you traveling with Xiao Chi?
How come you’re back so soon?”
“Don’t ask, it’s a long story.” Tang Xi smiled, “I’ll be back at work tomorrow.”
“Your vacation isn’t over yet.
You don’t know, but Xiao Chi really has power.
When he visited the dean’s office, even the dean bowed his head and dared not speak loudly.”
“Come on, it’s not that exaggerated.” Tang Xi took her hand, “Have you eaten?
Let’s go have dinner together.”
The two went to a ramen shop near the hospital.
They were regulars here.
The lady boss was also familiar with them, even remembering their dietary preferences.
Tang Xi remembered Zhao Yixing’s mother had suffered a stroke and was hospitalized, with Ruan Youqing paying for the medical expenses and visiting every day.
After taking a bite of noodles, she asked, “How’s Zhao Yixing’s mother doing?”
