In the end, Chen Ruo You did not need to be hospitalized.
All this was thanks to the normal test results of the ECG machine, thanks to the proper operation of the little doctor, thanks to her heart which only beat at a fast rate without any other problems and finally thanks to Dr. Meng's conscience who did not treat her mercilessly.
In short, after waiting for ten minutes, finally, a strange middle-aged male doctor came in. He acted like Meng Gu who asked Chen Ruo Yu a number of questions, for example, in addition to feeling flustered, did she feel any other discomfort, etc. After determining that she didn't have any other discomfort, the doctor told her she could go home. The doctor also advised her that if the rate her heartbeat did not improve after tonight, she was to go to the cardiology department for a consultation tomorrow. He also suggested that she should do a comprehensive physical examination as soon as possible.
Chen Ruo Yu nodded her head in agreement.
She had stayed in the hospital twice and each time she had done a full physical check-up. She thinks that within a hundred-mile radius, there would not be another person who had done more check-ups than she had done within this same period.
Liang SiSi waited for the doctor to leave before she brought out Chen Ruo Yu clothes.
"You actually brought me clothes."
"Yes, Dr. Meng told me on the phone that your clothes were stained with blood. He told me to bring you a set of clean clothes." Liang SiSi winked. "Isn't he considerate?"
Chen Ruo Yu nodded. This was really contrary to her expectations, she picked up her clothes and was about to change when Liang SiSi said. "Before we go, I'll go and look for him for one more time. You get changed first and I'll be back shortly."
Chen Ruo Yu nodded again and watched as Liang SiSi fluttered out of the ward like a colorful butterfly.
After she had finished changing, she waited for a long time but Liang SiSi still had not returned. Chen Ruo Yu pulled out her cellphone and looked at it. It was almost 1.00am. No wonder she felt so sleepy.
She yawned, yawned and then yawned again.
Right at that moment, Meng Gu came in.
Chen Ruo Yu's mouth was open wide to its maximum, it was too late, there was not enough time to close her mouth with her hand now. Tears had gathered at the corner of her eyes making her look very un-ladylike. Chen Ruo Yu simply let it be and in a relaxed manner finished her big yawn.
Liang SiSi was following behind Meng Gu and happily told Chen Ruo Yu who was rubbing her tears away. "Ruo Yu, Dr. Meng does not need to be on duty tonight. Everything is completed and he can send us home."
"Good." Through her yawn, Chen Ruo Yu realized that image and reservation were not the things she needed, she felt very happy and the two people certainly had no objections. The three of them got into the car with Liang SiSi sitting in the front passenger seat while Meng Gu drove and Chen Ruo Yu got into the back seat.
When the car started, Liang SiSi found topics to discuss with Meng Gu and the two of them laughed while talking. Chen Ruo Yu sat in daze and when she looked into the rearview mirror, she met Meng Gu's eyes. Chen Ruo Yu blinked and simply laid back to sleep.
So tired. Lying down felt so comfortable and it was good to have thick skin.
In a daze, she could hear Liang SiSi say "Ruo Yu has fallen asleep. She must be very tired. So sorry, Dr. Meng."
"It's alright. Don't be courteous. All this while she had always treated me as one of her own people."
Pei..! When did she treat him as one of her own people?Chen Ruo Yu silently disagreed. The car swayed and swayed and finally, she fell asleep. She slept all the way home. When they reached home, she was awakened by Liang SiSi. Liang SiSi thanked Meng Gu politely and then assisted her up the stairs.
Chen Ruo Yu did not even lift her eyes up and said, "He's one of our own people, don't be so polite."
Meng Gu grinned at her displaying his white teeth and she returned his smile. When she entered the house, she went straight to bed and continued to sleep until dawn.
A whole night without dreaming. There was no mother chasing after her and hitting her, no poison-tongued Meng Gu to anger her. In the blink of an eye, life is still very good to her.
A new day begins. The feeling of heart palpitations was gone.
Chen Ruo Yu held her hands in fists and she was full of energy. She had already said, her dizziness and discomfort were only temporary. Depression and setbacks were also temporary.
She wants to work hard. Let her family see, she's also able to succeed. Let Meng Gu see, she's also attractive.
Dressed in bright clothes, Chen Ruo Yu went to work in high spirits under Liang SiSi's surprised eyes.
Her work kept her very busy, running around meeting customers. It was tiring and difficult to close insurance deals. Chen Ruo Yu was determined to work hard and did not go back to consult the doctor. These few days, Meng Gu did not call her and neither did her parents. She felt relieved, however, she felt as if something was missing.
Meng Gu was considered a lost cause. Her family, well she had to be mentally prepared before she was ready to call home again.
She and her family were separated by 108,000 miles and if she stays hidden temporarily, nothing will happen to her. But Dr. Meng did not make it so easy for her to stay quiet. He did not have to personally play a role and Liang SiSi became his substitute.
"Ruo Yu, let me tell you, Dr. Meng actually does not like candies."
"How did you know that?" Chen Ruo Yu felt that she was not interested in what Meng Gu likes but she was curious how Liang SiSi knew.
SiSi claimed, she was a living 'book of love'. Is she really so powerful? She's the type that Meng Gu likes, can she really bring down Meng Gu? She really does not despise his uncouth mouth and his vile temper?
"I asked the nurses." Liang SiSi was painting her nails carefully.
"Nurses?" The group of people who loved to gossip, who treated Dr. Meng as their own property... those Nurses? Would they reveal Dr. Meng's preferences to outsiders? "What did they tell you? Did they give you a bad expression?"
"Why should they give me bad expressions? I held women's talk session with them. I talked to them about how to maintain beauty, about nourishment, about breast enhancement and skin rejuvenation. I also told them where they can get discounts and advantages. We also gossiped about several actresses' facelifts and some actor's private life scandals. I also gave them movie tickets. Now they love me so much that everything I ask, they will comply.
Ehn Chen Ruo Yu hearing of this, she felt a little foolish and really admired her.
"Then did you look for Dr. Meng?"
"Yes, I looked for him. I thanked him for taking care of you and then took the opportunity to meet the nurses around him. Then I went looking for his nurses, if I don't befriend them and ask around, how would I understand him better. How will I succeed then?"
Really smart!
"Did you see that Nurse Tian?"
"Yes, the most beautiful and the most arrogant one."
"Correct."
"So what? Is she more beautiful than me? What's the use of being arrogant? The time has not come yet and I did not say I want to pursue Dr. Meng. What can she do? I gave the nurses movie tickets as small gifts and they're clamoring to please me now. Nurse Tian has nothing to say."
Correct! Chasing after a man in a curved line is a good move. Chen Ruo Yu now realized this, that When she chased Meng Gu she was really stupid and went directly at Meng Gu and had ignored the people around him.
However, Liang SiSi works as a public relations officer in her company. The little gifts of movie tickets are plentiful in her possession and therefore they are nothing to her. Thinking of her own resources, Chen Ruo Yu knew she could not afford to give out insurance policies. Although she's also a part-time agent for condom products, she really cannot give them out as gifts to the nurses.
"Hey...." Liang SiSi suddenly called her."Give me a box of those condoms that you have."
"Why.... Why?" Suddenly Chen Ruo Yu became anxious. As they were roommates, during Liang SiSi's previous love affairs, she had gifted her with this practical product before. But now isn't Liang SiSi in the vacant window period? Isn't she chasing Meng Gu?
"For my use, ah...." Liang SiSi replied in a matter-of-fact way.
Chen Ruo Yu bit her lip. The question she wanted to ask so much.....' use with who?'... She really could not spit it out. She thought for a while and put the question in another way. "Have you and Dr. Meng developed so fast?"
This stinky man really has no morality and also does not exercise chastity.
"No, I have just met him twice. How can we develop so fast? Your sister, I... still have principles."
Oh.... I have wronged him.
"I have run out of stock. For safety's sake, I have to be prepared just in case something happens, isn't that right?"
Right?..Right! It seems the conclusion of him being wrong cannot be set down so early.
Wait, what does Liang SiSi mean by asking her 'isn't that right?' She had not even used that before, how would she know? She's a woman with morality and chastity, serious in her pursuit of living a good life, okay? Pursuing the pure essence of love, and sexual encounters are really not her style.
"Ruo Yu, I want to meet Dr. Meng again. Will you help me to ask him out?"
Ah? Why must she ask him out?
"I don't want to make it too obvious. In the beginning, if one appears too eager, the men will look down on you."
Is that so? No wonder. That time, she was too eager and not only did he looked down on her, he also stepped on her.
"Look for a chance and give him a valid reason to ask him out. Then we can set up a chance encounter to meet again. Like the last time, we met in the hospital, it was so natural and I want the result to be just like that."
That time was very natural and really a coincidence but once an arrangement's made, then it would not be natural nor would it be a coincidence again.
Chen Ruo Yu started to worry. If she helps, she will have to find a good reason and if she doesn't help, she still has to find a good reason. It is just that one reason is for Meng Gu and the other reason is for Liang SiSi.
She did not even have time to think of a reason and Meng Gu had called.
"Chen Ruo Yu, tell your friend Liang SiSi not to harass my nurses! The whole day, they circled around me helping her to make enquires about me. It's so annoying."
Chen Ruo Yu was so shocked that her mouth hung open. So, pursuing a man in a curved line is also not a useful method either.
