C9 Unexpected

Xiaonan sensed that he wasn't in a good mood. His dark eyes seemed to contain too many disturbing thoughts.

"You … Not in a good mood? "

Xiaonan picked up a small potato and put it in her bowl, unable to resist asking him.

Jing Yixuan looked back at her.

"You don't look too good." Xiaonan said again.

"Let's eat."

Jing Yixuan didn't say anything.

He did not want to tell her that just an hour ago he had seen a life pass from his hands, and that he, the doctor who had saved the life, had been helpless in the presence of the patient on the operating table.

He thought that as a doctor, he should have long since gotten used to this feeling of loneliness. However, he discovered that he was still unable to get used to this feeling.

In his heart, an indescribable heaviness was pressing down on his chest, causing him to be unable to breathe properly.

Seeing that Jing Yixuan didn't want to say anything, Xiaonan didn't press him further. This wasn't something she should be concerned about anyway.

She lowered her head and pretended to focus on eating, but her mind was in a mess because of him.

Jing Yixuan's gaze fell on Xiaonan's downcast face. His long and narrow eyes narrowed. His heart felt heavy as if it was gradually dispersing due to her few caring words. In an instant, he felt like he was pushing away the clouds and seeing Yue Ming.

After Xiaonan finished her meal, more than half of the food remained on the table. Jing Yixuan didn't eat anything, he just sat across from her and watched her eat.

Xiaonan wiped her mouth with a tissue and was about to continue talking about the decorations when her cell phone rang on his desk.

It was a call from the hospital.

"Second, come back quickly. One of your patients is in trouble and might need surgery immediately." On the other end of the phone was Cai Ling from the same department. He was the third oldest.

"Which patient?" Jing Yixuan frowned.

"The mother in bed number 18 on the tenth floor."

"I understand. Prepare the operation, I will be back soon."

"Alright."

Jing Yixuan quickly hung up.

"Is there an emergency at the hospital?" Xiaonan reckoned that this conversation was about to fail.

"Well, the patient needs immediate surgery." Jing Yixuan put away his cellphone, stood up, and looked down at Xiaonan condescendingly. "Miss Yin, about the decorations of my new room, I'll come find you next time."

"Mm. Alright." Xiaonan nodded, as she completely understood how busy he was.

Jing Yixuan nodded as he understood. Then, he left the table and walked straight to the cashier's desk.

It was only when his straight and broad back gradually disappeared at the restaurant's entrance that Xiaonan could bear to take her eyes off him. She felt a sense of loss in her heart.

It was 15 minutes after Jing Yixuan arrived at the hospital. He entered the surgery department, changed into a blue sterile surgical suit, and entered the cleaning area to wash his hands and disinfect.

At this time, Old Third Cai Ling had also changed into a sterile coat and walked over. "Second, don't worry about that operation this afternoon. After all, we're not the savior of the world, we just have to try our best."

"Don't worry, it definitely won't affect this operation."

Jing Yixuan picked up the brush on the side and carefully brushed his arm.

"Right, is the patient's family in trouble?" Jing Yixuan asked again.

"It's nothing. Maybe everyone has been prepared for it."

"Yes." Jing Yixuan pondered for a moment.

Cai Ling looked at him and smiled, "It looks like you look better than you did when you left the operation room. Why? What happy thing did you encounter? "

"Nope." Jing Yixuan denied it. "It's just that my mood is a bit better than it would have been in the afternoon." He raised his eyes to look at himself in the mirror, and a circle of shallow ripples appeared in his heart.

The water stopped and the disinfection was completed. He raised his arms and walked towards the operation room. "I'll go over first. Come over quickly."

"Mm, alright!"

At seven in the evening, the family of three gathered around the table for dinner.

Xiaonan quickly ate the food in the bowl, "Mom, I still have a part-time job to do later. You guys go to bed early. Don't wait for me, I'm not coming back tonight. After I finish my part-time job, I'll go to the hospital to see Yang."

"Xiaonan, take your time and eat." Mother Yin, Qin Lan, hurriedly tried to persuade her, sighing softly. "You said you're a nice first wife, how did you end up like this?"

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm very strong for your daughter." Xiaonan comforted her mother.

"Strong, do you think you're a Hercules!" Yin Siruo could not help but grumble at her sister. "Look at you, you've been so skinny for the past year. You don't even know how to be nice to yourself."

"Nan, your mom has been thinking about this for a long time. No matter what, you have to promise your mom that you'll get a good marriage this time. This man was introduced by the Lin sister-in-law next door. He's married for two years, and has a daughter.

Hearing her mother's painstaking words, Xiaonan's heart became obscure, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to go on a blind date, but you know Yang's current condition. No matter who we followed, we would only be a burden to others. How could I have the nerve to go on a blind date. "

"Sis, Mom and I have always advised you not to give birth to Yang back then, but you refused to listen. Yet now, you've suffered from this disease and even brought you down …" Before Yin Siruo could finish her words, Qin Lan reprimanded her in a low voice, cutting off her next words, "What nonsense are you spouting!?" If Yang were to hear this, how sad would it be? "

"Sis, you know I didn't mean it that way …" Afraid that her sister would be hurt, Yin Siruo quickly explained, "I didn't blame Yang, I just felt sorry for you. Seeing you working so hard, as a sister, I also feel bad. "

"I know." Xiaonan nodded, "I know that you and Mom both love me dearly. Alright, I promise you, once Yang is cured, I will immediately go on a blind date. We will have three scenes every morning, medium and late, and we must solve our lifelong problems, alright?"

Upon hearing Xiaonan's words, Mother Yin and Yin Siruo looked at each other but did not say anything.

When Yang's illness recovers... But when would this illness recover? Would it never be good again?
