Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 389: Only after you have loved do you know how deep love is; only after you have been drunk do you know how strong the wine is. Ruobing, I understand you.

At nine o'clock in the evening, driving down from Chunshan, the city at the foot of the mountain looked like an underwater dragon palace, brightly lit in the deep darkness.

When we returned to Tianhai Villa, Zhuang Jing had not yet arrived home.

Su Qing called the housekeeper and asked her to prepare a simple midnight snack.

"Aunt Jing, will you eat it? Late-night snacks are not good for your health." Gu Ran said with a smile.

Eating midnight snacks will cause a large amount of gastric juice to be secreted at night, which will disrupt the regularity of gastric acid secretion, making it impossible for the stomach to rest and easily induce stomach problems.

"Barbecue, deep-frying, and hot pot are sometimes not only physical delicacies, but also spiritual nourishment," said Su Qing.

The midnight snack was small wontons with delicious soup. They were small and there were only eight of them, but Gu Ran could finish them all in one gulp.

But as Su Qing said, occasionally indulging yourself in a bowl of hot midnight snack will not only satisfy your body and taste buds, but also your spirit.

Gu Ran finished his portion and drank the soup, then watched them eat idly.

Zhuang Jing and Yan Hanxiang only ate two.

"What did you gain from this trip to North City?" Yan Hanxiang asked.

"Not bad." said Zhuang Jing.

"Passable means barely satisfactory." Gu Ran said.

Everyone glanced at him, Su Qing picked up the bowl and used a spoon to spoon out two wontons for him.

He Qingyan gave one, Yan Hanxiang gave three, and Zhuang Jing gave four.

"Hulu." Gu Ran finished it all in one breath.

"Don't gain weight." Su Qing said.

“I swim and do push-ups every day.”

“I don’t like too much muscle either.”

"I don't care about Gu Ran's health at all, I only care about my own preferences." He Qingyan said.

"Ask him," Su Qing said, "if he still likes it if I gain weight."

"I can lift a maximum of 3000 kilograms, but considering your physical limit, I think about 300 kilograms is enough," said Gu Ran.

"300 kilograms?! I only weigh 30 kilograms!" Su Qing scolded with a smile.

This is just bragging. She weighs at least 95 pounds, but no more than 105 pounds.

Let’s stop talking about weight because there is nothing much to talk about. The girls in the villa all have slim figures. They look light and elegant in clothes. They are not only slim, but also slim and healthy.

Let’s get back to Zhuang Jing’s trip to North City.

"What did you get in exchange?" Yan Hanxiang looked at Zhuang Jing.

“Qingyan’s magic mirror, Chen Ke’s sunflower, Su Qing’s sunset, Gu Ran’s game account.”

"Game account?" Gu Ran couldn't help but ask.

"The self-hypnosis props can be used to enter the game state by logging into the game and seeing some simple status bars - it's too late today, you can try eating it directly at noon tomorrow."

Gu Ran couldn't sleep tonight.

He just casually said that he had recently tried to treat dreams as games, and Zhuang Jing actually found a [game account] for him.

Your kindness is as heavy as a mountain. It is not enough to work like a slave in the next life. I have to start from this life!
"Game account." He pondered and fantasized.

However, Zhuang Jing said that it is not satisfactory. It is estimated that it will not have too many functions. It may be so simple that you can only see the name and health bar.

This is enough.

Gu Ran closed the diary and sneaked out.

[Gu Ran: Open the door]

[Su Qing: Don’t open the door for the big bad wolf]

[Gu Ran: I am not a big bad wolf, I am a little sheep. I only eat grass and drink water, not meat.]

The door opened and Su Qing grabbed his ears: “You big pervert!”

"It hurts~"

"Keep your voice down! Come in!"

◇

October 27th, Tuesday, it rained heavily today.

"Is the rainwater at the seaside fresh water or salt water?" Gu Ran opened the curtains.

"It will turn into fresh water in the process of turning into rain. You should go back." Su Qing pulled up the quilt, covered her head, and avoided the morning light of the rainy day.

It would be better if I didn’t have the habit of morning exercises, then I would have time to lie in bed for a while.

Gu Ran came to the swimming pool and started swimming.

After the morning exercise, we had a massage for Zhuang Jing and Yan Hanxiang in the spa room.

"Aunt Jing, are you feeling better?" Gu Ran asked.

"Okay." Zhuang Jing closed her eyes and smiled softly.

"Let's stop by the World Tree at noon," Yan Hanxiang said, "I have concocted an incense that may help the World Tree restore its vitality."

"If there is a way to stop the loss of vitality, the World Tree itself might be able to survive." Gu Ran said.

It's almost impossible.

It was the [Wild Grass Plain] that sucked away the vitality of the World Tree.

Just like if a person falls into the sea, draining the sea would certainly save the person, but it is obviously unrealistic.

Providing people with enough oxygen and then fishing them out of the sea is a relatively feasible method.

On the way to work, Gu Ran drove carefully.

"It's not good if the weather is sunny all the time, because there will definitely be rainy days. Rather than facing a sudden rainstorm with a very high accident rate, it is better to have more bad weather and practice more." Su Qing looked at the rain outside the window.

"Are you talking about Du Ruobing?" Gu Ran asked.

"It's more like a summary." Su Qing said.

He Qingyan was sitting in the back seat playing with her phone when she suddenly asked, "Have you two taken any contraceptive measures?"

The rain suddenly got heavier.

The wipers flapped at a frequency like the wings of a bird trying to escape.

"With your frequency and your desire to use the best mentality, I'm afraid your monthly salary will be spent on it." He Qingyan said again.

While changing clothes in the locker room, Gu Ran secretly checked.

It’s not as exaggerated as He Qingyan said, but it is still a considerable expense.

In fact, the expenditure was not that much, but it was different from the price he had imagined, so he felt it was expensive.

There's nothing we can do about it being expensive.

This money is like military expenditure. Even if we can’t afford the meal subsidies for public schools, we still have to bite the bullet and spend the money on this.

Walking into the nursing building, I don’t know if it’s because of the weather or something else, but the nurses who were taking over the shift this morning looked more like corpses with the ability to move than usual.

"Some nurses laugh and joke at work, order takeout so frequently that the deliverymen almost recognize each other, and write nursing records in a mess, with three consecutive record forms being exactly the same.

"There is also the attitude of working the night shift, working only to wait for the end of the shift, playing during work, and making rounds only to complete the task."

The nurses were either leaning against the wall with their hands behind their backs, or sitting on chairs, or with their arms folded, all looking dead.

"Wang Jiajia." The head nurse called the name.

Wang Jiajia lowered her head.

"What do I need to write in the special care record for a new patient?"

"The patient's vital signs, water intake and output, wet treatment and care, brief condition and nursing points are recorded hourly."

"You know the book well by heart. Have you done it?"

Wang Jiajia lowered her head even lower.

The head nurse glanced at everyone and spoke slowly, as if they wouldn't understand unless she spoke, "Doctors, don't think you can just follow them. Tighten your bones with me."

Su Qing, Chen Ke, and He Qingyan all looked at Gu Ran at the same time.

Gu Ran looked at He Qingyan.

He Qingyan glared back, and just like the confrontation in Dragon Ball, she pushed the energy wave back.

The four of them only dared to communicate with each other through eye contact.

When Zhuang Jing was not around, Su Qing was not allowed to speak when the head nurse was scolding the nurses. If she dared to speak, even Su Qing would be warned.

After the head nurse left, everyone sighed in unison.

"Please keep working hard, everyone." Su Qing rarely spoke with a smile, and then took the nurses' bodies to make rounds.

When she was in Ward 101, asking the girl in sunglasses a question, Gu Ran was outside the door and quietly asked Wang Jiajia, the head nurse of Ward 102, "Did you make a mistake?" "It's not mainly because of me." Wang Jiajia lowered her voice, "Liu Zijun had her period, and Sister Jiang didn't notice it."

"Then why did I call your name?" Gu Ran asked with a smile.

Wang Jiajia looked at the mischievous smile on Gu Ran's impeccable face, feeling both angry and happy.

"Later, I was found out by checking the ward records," she said.

“I still made a mistake.”

"When there are new patients, the admission nursing assessment form will definitely be written first. The special care record is just a rough write-up to note the key points, which will be completed later."

This matter is not a big deal if it is not investigated, but if it is investigated, the consequences can be serious or minor.

This time, the head nurse was quite lenient.

Gu Ran couldn't help but reflect on himself - he was good at this, so he should also be careful in his daily life and not be too cheerful, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he was scolded by the dean.

As for the medical records, he was the best medical record writer in the country. Let’s not talk about it, but he won the first prize anyway.

"Doctor Gu, actually it's your fault." Wang Jiajia, who was wearing a nurse's uniform, pouted slightly.

"What does it have to do with me?" Gu Ran was curious.

"I saw you were playing cards, and Liu Zijun's period came early, maybe she was angry because of playing cards."

"It's you and Liu Zijun who are not strong-willed." Gu Ran taught her.

Wang Jiajia was about to laugh, but when she heard the noise in Ward 101, her face immediately tensed.

Su Qing brought people out of the ward and entered Ward 102.

The female teacher was sitting on the bed. Maybe it was because of her hospital gown or it was raining, she looked more haggard than yesterday.

The attending physician, Chen Ke, stepped forward to conduct routine ward rounds and inquire.

Su Qing picked up the tablet and checked the admission nursing assessment form. Gu Ran was also looking at it.

Chen Ke is Du Ruobing's attending physician, but that doesn't mean the rest of Group 2 can ignore Du Ruobing. They are a team and they must contribute where they can.

The hospital nursing records are very detailed, worthy of Wang Jiajia's pale face.

From whether there are scars on the skin, whether there are nodules on the buttocks, height, weight, blood pressure, and body temperature, to asking about eating habits and notifying the catering department - the written language of the cafeteria, everything is clear.

The head nurse criticized Wang Jiajia, perhaps because her problem was not serious.

At this moment, Du Ruobing suddenly let out a scream, which sounded like a group of creatures called "screams" swarming out of her throat.

She supported herself with her hands behind her back and tried desperately to back away. Her expression was crazy and her muscles were shaking as if they came alive.

"Be careful!" Chen Ke shouted.

Wang Jiajia, who had worked the night shift, rushed over and supported Du Ruobing before her brain could react.

Du Ruobing pushed her away and tilted her head back.

Everyone seemed to have heard a loud bang.

Gu Ran pounced on her like a hunting beast. He jumped over the bed and held Du Ruobing in his arms.

"Boom!"

Gu Ran felt a sharp burning pain in his back and almost fainted, unable to breathe.

The pain was like a phantom hitman, piercing his back and stirring his bones.

The two rolled into the corner.

"Are you okay?"

"Tranquilizer!"

"Don't crowd together, leave enough space! Notify the driver immediately and prepare to go to the hospital!"

Su Qing's face was full of anxiety as she accompanied Gu Ran to the hospital.

He Qingyan also wanted to go with them, but Su Qing forced her to stay in the sanatorium because Chen Ke couldn't be left alone.

On the way there, Gu Ran felt like he was going to collapse, but when he got out of the car, he thought it should be okay, even though it hurt so much that he had to find a place to cry secretly.

It hurts just as much as the last time in the [Drifting Classroom] when Yan Hanxiang poked one of his eyes out.

How could he have ever suffered such physical pain?

I saw the doctor, who said, "It's nothing serious. It's just a minor injury to the back spine."

The doctor continued as he typed, "Prescribe some painkillers and blood circulation medication. Rest for a month. Come back for a checkup if you have any questions."

Only then did Su Qing feel relieved.

Walking out of the department and into the corridor, Gu Ran looked at the heavy rain and said, "This is retribution. It's retribution for laughing at Gege yesterday and becoming a cripple."

“There’s a bonus.”

“My thoughts are dark.”

"Until you recover from your illness, don't overwork, and rest is the main thing."

"I think what you said this morning is right. People's lives are not always sunny. If you don't experience wind and rain during normal times, when you encounter strong winds and waves, the mortality rate will increase."

"Double your salary until you recover."

Gu Ran exhaled: "A blessing in disguise!"

When he was about to be discharged from the hospital, Gu Ran said, "Wife, wheelchairs are fun, can you buy me one?"

After saying this, he suddenly realized what was the difference between him and high school students!
Gege bought the cane yesterday because she thought it was fun!

"How old are you? And you still act like a princess?!" Su Qing scolded.

"Hey~"

It is proven to be true that when a person gets sick, his brain will degenerate.

When the ambulance carrying the two of them drove back up Chunshan Mountain, finally, as long as Gu Ran didn't move, the pain in his body was gone.

When I got off the car, I grimaced in pain again.

"Wait, let's go to the sanatorium. I want to die in the sanatorium." he said.

"Just go back and rest." Su Qing ignored him and helped him walk towards the office building.

"Doctor Gu, are you okay?" the apple-faced nurse at the front desk asked worriedly.

"It's just a minor spinal injury. It will heal in a month." Gu Ran waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Be careful." Apple Face looked worried.

Su Qing secretly pinched Gu Ran's waist. Gu Ran, who was trying to keep a calm face, immediately showed his true colors and he almost closed his eyes in pain.

After entering the elevator, Su Qing said, "You still want to act cool?"

"No, I was just showing the bearing of a man."

"Is it manly to ask for a wheelchair as a toy?"

"Boys like anything with wheels, even a shopping cart," said Gu Ran.

"Isn't he a man?"

"You heard wrong." Gu Ran remained calm and in great pain.

When they returned to the office, while Su Qing was pouring him a glass of water, Zhuang Jing, Yan Hanxiang, Chen Ke, He Qingyan, and even Tong Ling, Jiang Qi, and the little woman from the same group came.

After confirming that he was fine, Zhuang Jing said, "Have a good rest, take care of your body, and don't work too hard."

If that "bang" sound was the sound of the back of the head hitting the wall, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, when he rushed over, in order to prevent the back of Du Ruobing's head from hitting the wall, he also instinctively avoided this situation.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, there will be no accidents.

Although he needed to rest, Gu Ran still insisted on doing the experiment at noon today, and Zhuang Jing agreed.

Gu Ran is looking forward to getting the [game account] so that he can play games well during the period until his waist gets better.

《Personal Diary》: Tuesday, October 27, Heavy Rain, Hospital

In order to save Du Ruobing, he injured his spine, but fortunately it was a minor injury.

When I went to the orthopedic hospital, I was panicked for a while and really thought my waist was broken.

I’m really scared when I think about having to be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life at the age of 20.

----

"Doctor's Diary":
Today I almost ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. I was so scared that I no longer dared to save patients casually. This made me think of Du Ruobing.

When she learned that the male teacher's legs were run over by a car, was she as scared as I am now?
To her, 'a male teacher's legs being crushed' might just mean 'a rotten sheep carcass soaking in a reservoir'.

(Zhuang Jing's comment: It's a good thing that you were scared.)
