Chapter 20 Rescue (2)
She couldn't figure out why the old man had fainted. Every medicine has some degree of toxicity, and even if it's not toxic, its effects are different, and she might end up making things worse.
She decided to wait patiently for the ambulance. There wasn't much to sit on, and she was getting tired of standing, so she simply squatted down next to the old man.
Fortunately, the ambulance arrived quickly. Since the old man was unconscious and they didn't know how to contact his family, they had no choice but to have Xiao Jiu go to the hospital with him.
Since they were already there, Xiao Jiu paid the old man's medical expenses in advance. She waited boredly outside the operating room, and soon the crowd, having received the news, rushed over.
This old man was indeed a very good person. He made contributions to the country, no wonder he had such great merits. Xiao Jiu didn't expect anything in return from them. Seeing that someone was coming, she simply left.
As for the small amount of medical expenses paid, consider it as doing a good deed.
Professor Nie is a retired professor from a national research institution. He has reached the age of enjoying his retirement and has stepped down from his position. He doesn't like the place the state arranged for him to live, nor does he like having someone accompany him wherever he goes.
His photos haven't been leaked, and he doesn't do research anymore. He just goes out with a bunch of people, not obviously telling others, "I'm amazing, I'm useful, come and arrest me!"
It's so great that he's like this now. He can casually wear an old man's shirt, shorts, and sandals, and walk around with his hands behind his back without anyone thinking he's a researcher.
Even if he goes out and tells people that he is a professor who does research, they will think he is bragging, which is the effect he wants.
People who live in seclusion either hide in the wilderness for minor hermitages or live in the city for major hermitages.
Although he did not allow anyone to be placed by his side, the government was still concerned about his health, and someone would visit him every now and then.
He never expected that he would suddenly faint while out for a stroll. Fortunately, he was saved by a kind girl. When he woke up and wanted to repay her, he learned that the girl had left after seeing someone arrive.
She doesn't expect anything in return for her kindness; she's a good girl.
Xiao Jiu was unaware of the situation here. She felt hungry and wanted to go eat something delicious.
She didn't want to eat out today and planned to go home and order takeout.
Home is still the most comfortable place. With the air conditioning on, I can watch TV shows and eat watermelon. It's so nice.
She didn't plan to go out in the afternoon. The sun was shining brightly outside, but she felt more comfortable at home, especially with the air conditioning on and watermelon in the air.
Chu Chu: [Jiu Jiu, I'm calling it a day early, let's go eat.]
Shao Xingchu felt quite lucky today; the instructors actually dismissed the class early. She was overjoyed at the thought of having dinner with Jiu Jiu later.
No, she needed to go back and take a shower. She had worked up a sweat during military training today, and she couldn't go to see her sweetheart smelling sour and sweaty.
Shao Xingchu not only took a shower, but also put on makeup.
"Chu Chu, are you going out on a date?" Shao Xingchu's roommate found it quite strange. She had never heard that Chu Chu had a boyfriend, but she was dressed up so beautifully. What else could it be but going to see her boyfriend?
Normally when we go out together, she just applies a little makeup and leaves, but this time she was so serious about it.
"Mmm, it's a date." Shao Xingchu's face was flushed. Hmm, a date with Jiu Jiu. Thinking of Jiu Jiu's gorgeous face, well, she could... hehehehe.
"You have a boyfriend?" Her roommate was a little surprised to hear the affirmative answer. She really went on a date; she actually had a boyfriend.
Although they didn't have a deep connection, they were still roommates and would often do activities together.
I haven't seen her getting close to any boys. It's only been a little over half a month since school started, and she already has a boyfriend?
"Not my boyfriend, just my girlfriends." When Shao Xingchu heard the word "boyfriend," the blush on her face faded. She wouldn't dress up so beautifully for a jerk like him; they weren't good enough for each other.
"Oh, I thought you were on a date with your boyfriend, but it turns out you're with your best friend. Well, you should go now. Are you coming back tonight?" They all knew that Shao Xingchu's family was wealthy and that they lived in this area.
It's normal for them not to come back at night; no dorm room is as comfortable as home.
"I probably won't be back. If there's a room check, please let the counselor know for me. I'm leaving now, bye-bye." Shao Xingchu felt she had done enough and couldn't keep Jiu Jiu waiting.
17:20
Jiu Jiu: [Should I go over and wait for you?]
18:10
Chu Chu: [I'm here! I'm here!]
Jiu Jiu: [Waiting for you]
After seeing the address Chu Chu sent, Xiao Jiu called a Didi (ride-hailing service) and went there first.
The temperature is always cooler at night than during the day. She wore a light blue long dress with a beige trench coat over it. Her long, beautiful black hair was tied up in a ponytail and hung down her back. She looked delicate and pure.
“Jiu Jiu?????” Shao Xingchu spotted Xiao Jiu standing at the door immediately, as her stunning beauty stood out in the crowd.
"Chu Chu, you're here!" Xiao Jiu didn't wait long at the door. She saw Chu Chu's message saying she had arrived while she was in the car.
She simply didn't go in and waited for her at the door.
"Have you been waiting long? You look so beautiful today." Shao Xingchu is completely different from her former socially awkward self. She hugs Xiao Jiu's arm and leans on Xiao Jiu's shoulder.
"I just arrived here too, and Chu Chu looks beautiful today." Xiao Jiu was telling the truth. Chu Chu looked beautiful today, and she also had a faint, sweet fruity fragrance that was refreshing and not cloying.
Shao Xingchu is the sweet and cute type. She wore a pink and white bubble dress, styled her hair in a princess half-updo, and added some small hair accessories, making her look extremely adorable.
"Hehe, let's go in quickly, their Cantonese food is super delicious." Shao Xingchu had eaten here before and heard that their head chef's ancestors were imperial chefs.
She's a very skilled cook and can prepare many different cuisines. However, she particularly enjoys the Cantonese food here; she'd ordered it before and thought it was incredibly delicious.
I don't know if Xiao Jiu will be used to the food, but it doesn't matter. If Xiao Jiu doesn't like Cantonese food, she can order other cuisines.
She's rich, and she's willing to treat Xiao Jiu to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
"Then let's try the delicious Cantonese food you mentioned today." Xiao Jiu isn't picky about food; she likes to eat anything that tastes good.
"Let's try this today, and then try other things next time," Shao Xingchu said, sitting opposite Xiao Jiu and admiring Xiao Jiu's delicate and beautiful face.
Xiao Jiu's face is fair and tender, her skin is so nice. If I were to kiss her, would it leave a red mark?
A slender, swan-like neck... if you were to put a mark on it, oh my god, Shao Xingchu, are you a pervert? What are you thinking?
She couldn't help but slap herself, snapping herself out of it. How disgusting! How disgusting! What was she thinking?
