The other side of the boundless sea of ​​kindness

Chapter 245 Luo Jinxi's father Luo Shaoqing

In the military hospital, the white walls and the pungent smell of disinfectant filled every corner. Professor Cao and Liao Jiancheng were busy shuttling between the wounded with focused expressions.

Their eyes were full of concern, and every movement was gentle and quick.

While patiently asking about the conditions of the wounded and gently soothing their painful hearts, those gentle words were like the warm sunshine in winter, bringing a little comfort to the wounded;

While skillfully changing the dressings and disinfecting the wounded, the tweezers and cotton balls in his hands seemed to have life, and he handled every wound with precision.

At this tense, orderly and busy moment, a sudden phone call rang at an inopportune time.

The ringing of the bell sounded particularly harsh in the quiet ward. Professor Cao just frowned slightly, and his hands did not stop moving at all. He continued to change the medicine for the wounded and bandaged it carefully in an orderly manner.

Then, he quickly walked to a corner of the ward and answered the phone: "Hello, Xiao Huo, what's the matter?"

Xiao Huo's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Professor, Jiang Chengyu is awake."

Professor Cao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he immediately responded: "Okay, I understand."

In Professor Cao's dormitory, Jiang Chengyu opened his eyes drowsily. His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, revealing confusion.

He slowly turned his head and looked around, his lips trembling slightly as he asked softly, "Where is this place?"

When Xiao Huo heard the voice, he hurried to Jiang Chengyu's bedside, leaned over slightly, and asked softly: "What do you want to say?"

Jiang Chengyu seemed to have used up all his strength and asked again: "Where is this place?"

Xiao Huo looked at his weak appearance and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Military Hospital! You really scared us. Why did you run away from the hospital when you were sick?"

When Jiang Chengyu heard no answer, his eyes paused slightly and became somewhat empty, as if he was trying to penetrate the foggy memory and try to find the lost fragments.

After a moment, he seemed to have found his voice from a distant place and replied softly, "I wanted to go home, but the taxi wouldn't stop."

Xiao Huo frowned and asked in confusion, "You're going home? Go home and call your family to pick you up!

Look at you, you are so confused with a high fever, but you didn’t even put on any warm clothes and just ran out like that.

What's even more outrageous is that you don't even have a pair of shoes on; what's wrong with you?" Xiao Huo's tone was filled with blame and worry.

Suddenly, the dormitory door was gently pushed open, making a slight "creaking" sound. Professor Cao walked in with a gentle smile, his steps were light and steady, and every step was full of concern.

"Jiang Chengyu, are you awake? How do you feel now?" The voice was like a spring breeze, warm and comfortable.

When Jiang Chengyu heard the voice, he was surprised and called out subconsciously, "Professor Cao?"

After the surprise, some vague images gradually emerged in his mind. He saw Professor Cao on the side of the road, and then his vision gradually blurred until it fell into darkness.

Cao Guohua looked at Jiang Chengyu and said jokingly, "Jiang Chengyu, what's wrong with you? Do you have to be injured or not disabled to meet me?"

Jiang Chengyu was speechless for a moment, his face flushed, and he stammered, "I..."

Professor Cao did not ask any more questions. He turned around and ordered, "Xiao Huo, go to the kitchen and make him a bowl of porridge. His fever has just subsided, so he should eat something light."

Little Huo nodded smartly and answered loudly, "Okay, Professor." After that, he strode out of the dormitory. The powerful footsteps echoed in the corridor for a while, and then gradually disappeared.

Professor Cao slowly approached the infusion bottle, his eyes falling on the already drained infusion bottle. He walked to Jiang Chengyu's side, skillfully helped him remove the tape that fixed the needle, then picked up a piece of alcohol cotton, gently pressed the needle hole, and carefully pulled out the needle.

The action was done in one go, clean and neat, without causing Jiang Chengyu any pain. Then, Professor Cao took out a Band-Aid from the medical box next to him and carefully applied it to the eye of the needle to ensure that the eye would not be infected.

Jiang Chengyu looked at Professor Cao with gratitude and said politely, "Thank you, Professor. I'm sorry to bother you again!" As he spoke, he reached out and pressed the needle hole with an embarrassed look on his face, looking like a child who had done something wrong.

Cao Guohua looked at Jiang Chengyu with concern in his eyes. He asked softly, "Why did you come out wearing a hospital gown? Where are you in such a hurry to go?"

Jiang Chengyu lowered his head slightly, hesitating for a while, and then whispered: "I...I want to go home, but...but the taxi won't stop."

His voice became lower and lower, as if he was ashamed of his reckless behavior.

Professor Cao couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He joked, "If you look like this, you probably wouldn't dare to stop the car if you saw one!"

After hearing this, Jiang Chengyu could only smile bitterly. He knew that he must have looked very embarrassed at the time.

Cao Guohua continued, "When you go home, at least change into your hospital gown and wear a pair of shoes!" There was a hint of blame and more worry in his tone.

At this moment, the dormitory door was pushed open from the outside again, and someone shouted, "Dad, I'm back; what's going on?"

Cao Guohua turned his head and smiled, saying, "You're back? I brought a friend back to stay for a few days. His name is Jiang Chengyu, and he's traveling with us."

Luo Shaoqing walked towards Jiang Chengyu with a smile, took the initiative to extend his hand, and said enthusiastically: "Hello, Doctor Jiang."

Jiang Chengyu was a little overwhelmed, and he looked at Cao Guohua for help. Cao Guohua quickly introduced: "This is Luo Jinxi's father, Luo Shaoqing, Professor Luo."

Jiang Chengyu reacted immediately, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Luo Jinxi's father? Hello, Professor Luo, nice to meet you."

Luo Shaoqing asked with some doubt: "Do you know my girl?"

Jiang Chengyu scratched his head and said with a smile: "Some time ago, together..." Before he finished speaking, Luo Shaoqing seemed to suddenly think of something.

He suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead and said, "Is she the girl who cooperated with the police to arrest Feng Yuhang?"

Jiang Chengyu's face instantly turned red, from his neck to his ears. Seeing this, Luo Shaoqing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He said with a smile: "My daughter came home and praised you a lot. She kept asking me to give her plastic surgery, saying that she wanted to be as beautiful as you."

Cao Guohua seemed to understand something when he heard this. He hurriedly asked in surprise, "You are the one who dressed up as a woman to help the girl capture Feng Yuhang in the video?"

Jiang Chengyu felt even more embarrassed. He said shyly, "Professors, please stop making fun of me."

Luo Shaoqing quickly clasped his hands together and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else. I just think young people are so energetic. It's great to be young."

As he was talking, Xiao Huo returned to the dormitory with a fast food cup. He pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Luo Shaoqing, he hurriedly shouted, "Professor Luo is back?"

Luo Shaoqing looked at him and asked, "Oh, Xiao Huo, what are you doing?"

Xiao Huo replied, "I made him some white porridge. His fever just subsided, so he should eat something light."

Luo Shaoqing smiled and said, "Then we have something else to do so we will leave. You should take good care of yourself."

Jiang Chengyu nodded slightly, his eyes following the two of them as they walked out of the room.

Outside the door, Luo Shaoqing could be faintly heard asking, "What's the situation with that special person?"

Cao Guohua responded: "There is a piece of bone fragment in the chest cavity, which is offset from the sensitive part of the heart. The operation is very difficult..."

Xiao Huo approached Jiang Chengyu and said with a smile: "Eat it while it's hot. When you go to the fields tomorrow, go to the canteen to eat. Our food is pretty good. I'll ask the chef to make you braised pork."

Jiang Chengyu looked at the simple and kind-hearted Xiao Huo, smiled slightly, his eyes full of gratitude, and said, "Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Oh, it's okay, just eat quickly!" Xiao Huo responded enthusiastically.

Jiang Chengyu reached out to take the fast food cup, opened the lid, looked at the steaming porridge, his eyes gradually became a little blurry, and he murmured in his heart:

"Xiao Ji, have you gone home? Are you still angry with me?" His eyes revealed a hint of worry and longing. He wondered what the person he cared about was doing at the moment.

In a cozy little house in Hongxing Community, Mu Huiying is like an angel guarding the warmth of the family, with a loving smile on her kind face.

She was wearing a kitchen skirt with cute patterns on it and was bustling around the kitchen like a commanding chef.

Under her careful preparation, all kinds of dishes in the kitchen exude mouth-watering color, aroma and taste.

The tender and juicy braised pork exudes an alluring luster, as if telling of its deliciousness;

The green vegetables become more vibrant and emit a fresh aroma under the baptism of hot oil.

And there is that golden fried egg with slightly raised edges, like a delicate little sun.

Mu Huiying took a deep breath of the food aroma that filled the room while carefully bringing the prepared dishes to the dining table and arranging them neatly.

Her focused expression was as if she was treating a precious piece of art. After setting the table, she wiped her hands, walked to the living room, picked up her phone, skillfully found Mu Xiaoji's number in the contacts, and lightly tapped the dial button;

Then, full of anticipation, she happily walked back to the kitchen, her eyes fixed on the pork rib soup stewing on a low fire. The bubbling sound sounded like a happy melody in her ears.

At this time, in Jinyang Villa, Mu Xiaoji was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, looking lost and dazed. The air around him seemed to have frozen, with only his heavy breathing.

His eyes were empty, as if his soul had been taken away. Every moment he spent with Jiang Chengyu kept reappearing in his mind. Those memories, a mixture of sweetness and pain, came flooding to him like a tide.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang, and the crisp ringtone broke the suffocating silence.

Mu Xiaoji seemed to be awakened from a dream and hurriedly picked up the phone. When he saw that the caller ID was Mu's mother, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

He quickly wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, then coughed lightly and tried to regulate his breathing;

Trying to make it sound like nothing happened, she answered the phone and said, "Hello, Mom, what's going on?"

Mu Huiying's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of blame: "Hey, kid, didn't you say you would come home for dinner on the weekend? What's going on between you two? I cooked a table full of your favorite dishes, and I'm looking forward to your return!"

Mu Xiaoji felt guilty and apologized hurriedly: "Oh, sorry, Mom, I can't go back today. There is a very troublesome patient who needs surgery. I need to help the little monster.

"Sorry, Mom, we'll be back soon after we're done. I won't talk to you anymore, we're busy!" After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry without waiting for Mu Huiying's response.

Mu Huiying held the phone, listening to the busy tone, and said helplessly: "Alas, these two children, this is... This is another time when I have worked in vain and am happy for nothing!"

There was a hint of loss in her eyes, but she quickly regained her gentleness. She knew that the children's work was important, but this table of carefully prepared meals seemed to lose some of its flavor without the children's company.
