Chapter 13: My sense of morality is too high. What should I do if I want to be a saint?
When Mu Chaosheng wanted to take advantage of this time to return the key, he happened to meet Lu Huanchu who came to check on the room.
She handed the key back to him: "Thanks!"
Lu Huanchu hummed, not feeling very happy.
Mu Chaosheng was not sure about this man's true character, so he didn't take it seriously.
Seeing Lu Huanchu wanted to enter the ward, she reminded him, "It's family visiting time now."
"If not, I wouldn't have come..."
"Uncles, aunts, long time no see!"
Lu Huanchu pushed open the door and walked in, chatting with the people in the ward very familiarly.
"A bunch of elders are here to ask about his well-being. How can this kid be so worthy? This will shorten his lifespan! Xingjian is so lucky. To have so many people care about him is really enviable!"
The group of people were flattered by Lu Huanchu and smiled happily, but it was not just because he was sweet-mouthed, the more important factor was that he was from the Lu family.
Changing the subject, Lu Huanchu brought the topic back to Mu Xingjian's illness.
"However, the checkup time arranged for Xingjian has come. After the checkup, he will need to take medicine. The side effects of the medicine will make him drowsy, and he will not be able to entertain you uncles by then."
"You must have come all this way and been exhausted. Go back and rest early! With me here, he will be full of life in a few days. You don't have to bother coming to see him."
"Otherwise I'll get jealous! When I get jealous, I won't want to take care of my doctor!"
A large group of people burst into laughter at his words, and just like that, the large group of relatives finally dispersed like a dark cloud.
The ward, which had returned to its quiet state, felt as if the sky had cleared after a rainy day.
Mu Chaosheng leaned against the door, half smiling, and asked in a serious tone, "Doctor Lu, do you want to do another examination?"
"Do it!" Lu Huanchu said, and then he seriously placed the stethoscope on Mu Xingjian's chest and listened for a while.
"Do we still need to take medicine?" Mu Chaosheng asked, trying to hold back his laughter.
"Of course!" Lu Huanchu knocked on the food box beside him and said in a doctor's tone, "One serving of rice porridge."
Mu Chaosheng showed the food box in his hand, "This is what Aunt Wu made specially for the patient. Doctor Lu, please be flexible and change the medicine."
Lu Huanchu nodded his yes, indicating to Mu Chaosheng to hand over the "new medicine" to him for inspection.
After taking the food box, Lu Huanchu looked salivating, "Not bad, it suits me very well."
He knocked on the empty food box on the table and handed it to Mu Chaosheng, "However, the doctor's orders cannot be changed at will."
Mu Chaosheng rolled his eyes and pointed at the food box prepared by Wu Ma and said, "There's still my share in there, you can't take it all."
Lu Huanchu's greedy look froze for a moment.
Six o'clock is the Mu family's fixed meal time. Now it is eight o'clock in the evening, and it takes no more than 30 minutes to get from the Mu family to the hospital.
"You haven't eaten yet so late. Where did you go to cause trouble again?"
Mu Chaosheng picked up the lunch box and said, "What does this have to do with you?"
After walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something, "Is the hospital cafeteria still open?"
"Do you know what a high-end medical center is?" Lu Huanchu replied.
Mu Chaosheng knew that he was arguing with her, but for some reason, she seemed to sense again the displeasure that Lu Huanchu had revealed when he returned the key just now.
Especially when he said "high-end medical center", there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Lu Huanchu was always very sharp-tongued when dealing with her, maybe he was just being too sensitive.
After Mu Chaosheng left, Mu Xingjian, who seemed to be non-existent, finally spoke.
"are you OK?"
"Except for being a little hungry, everything else is fine."
Although he said that, Lu Huanchu was obviously in a very low mood, and he was completely different from the way he was when he was arguing with Mu Chaosheng.
"You have tried your best. Besides, the final result has not yet arrived. You don't have to be too hard on yourself."
“I know I tried my best, I just hope everyone tries their best.”
Lu Huanchu leaned against the table with his head down, looking exhausted. His tone contained a hint of unyielding stubbornness and helpless loss.
Mu Xingjian chuckled softly, which was completely different from his usual frozen wooden image.
"It's too difficult for everyone to do their best. You can try to get more people to do their best. I think this second-best solution is more suitable for you."
Mu Xingjian's smile was as gentle as the gentle breeze and drizzle that moistened everything silently, allowing Lu Huanchu to find a source of support in his powerlessness.
The two smiled at each other. Lu Huanchu stared at Mu Xingjian's arm and said, "Maybe this is God's will. You are indeed more suitable for business."
He and Lu Xingjian had agreed to study medicine together and become excellent surgeons.
Unfortunately, he had an arm accident when he was in high school and would never be able to become a surgeon in his life.
Whenever Lu Huanchu thought of this, he felt very regretful.
"Huan Chu, you are wrong. This is not God's will. This is all my choice."
Lu Huanchu snorted and laughed, rolling his eyes at Mu Xingjian, "Okay, I'm not going to say anything bad about her, why are you in such a hurry!"
Mu Xingjian smiled helplessly, then suddenly changed the subject, his gentle eyes became sharp.
"You treated her well..."
"She is a patient's family member and I am a doctor, so of course I have to be nice to her. Even so, she threatened to complain to me while you were in a coma!"
Mu Xingjian's eyes reflected only two words: excuse.
When he was a child, he and Lu Huanchu were inseparable. Chaosheng followed them around all day long, calling them "brother". Among his peers, besides himself, Huanchu was the one who had the most affection for Chaosheng.
However, because Huanchu and he were as close as brothers, Chaosheng naturally treated him as an enemy.
Later, because of Chaosheng's careless words, the relationship between the two became even worse.
There is no doubt that Huanchu, like his grandmother, saw the change in Chaosheng, which is why he is willing to accept her again now.
While the two were chatting, a young medical assistant came in and said a few words to Lu Huanchu.
When Mu Xingjian saw that Lu Huanchu's expression suddenly became serious, he guessed what the medical assistant had said.
When Mu Chaosheng came back with the lunch box, he happened to see Lu Huanchu's hurried back, but this was in the hospital, so he was not surprised.
She returned to the ward, filled the lunch box with porridge and placed it aside. This time, Mu Xingjian unexpectedly took the initiative to eat.
Mu Chaosheng was a little confused. He looked at Mu Xingjian a few more times unconsciously and found that his arm was shaking slightly, which was much better than when he was holding the phone unsteadily in the morning.
Is it because my arm was hurting that I couldn’t eat this morning?
Mu Chaosheng instantly regretted that he realized it too late. Although this had nothing to do with her after all, he couldn't help feeling guilty.
She couldn't help but sigh that she was too moral! She couldn't stand the surging goodwill generated by her strong sense of morality!
What should she do? Should she be a saint for once?
