Chapter 75: So I Can Accompany You Every Day
After bidding farewell to Guo Qiancheng, Wang Chuan went to the Respiratory Medicine Department and found Pei Nanli. "Give me your mother's mobile phone number."
Pei Nanli widened her eyes: "Wang Chuan, what are you doing? Why do you need my mom's phone number?"
Recently, the look in Wang Chuan's eyes was no longer the gaze of looking up at her from the four years of university.
It was a gaze of looking eye-to-eye, and sometimes even looking down on her.
'What exactly happened to you, Wang Chuan?' Pei Nanli wondered inwardly.
Wang Chuan explained, "Oh, didn't your mom ask you and me to go shopping tomorrow and then have dinner at your house? I'll explain it to her personally that I might not be able to make it; that's the polite thing to do."
After getting the mobile phone number, Wang Chuan dialed Ning Hui's mobile phone right in front of Pei Nanli.
As soon as the call connected, Wang Chuan and Pei Nanli heard the voice coming from the phone, "Wang Chuan, what's the matter?"
Wang Chuan was very surprised; he hadn't even spoken yet, so how did Ning Hui know it was his mobile phone number? He looked at Pei Nanli suspiciously a few times.
'Pei Nanli, why did you give my mobile phone number to your mom?'
Pei Nanli was shocked; when had her mom saved Wang Chuan's mobile phone number?
"Professor Ning, there's a work injury matter; I'd like to consult you on it?"
"Do I have time at three in the afternoon? Okay, Tianyi Plaza, Qingyuan Teahouse; I'll be there on time."
Wang Chuan hung up the phone, and Pei Nanli's voice came from behind him. "Wang Chuan, you're lying to me again! Didn't you refuse the thing for tomorrow? Now you're talking about some work injury."
'Looks like I won't have time to go to the Emergency Department this afternoon.'
Wang Chuan rubbed his temples and returned to the dormitory to rest a bit, only to find Luo De in the dormitory. "Luo De, so you can't go to the Bar tonight?"
"I want to go too!" Luo De felt uncomfortable inside; Wang Chuan had invited him, Li Wei, and Wang Jia.
As a result, he couldn't go because of his Night Shift.
Wang Chuan joked, "How about this? Since you're in the Surgical Department and there are the most Interns, go find someone to swap shifts with. Don't worry, Li Wei and Wang Jia are going to the Bar."
"Okay, I'll go ask."
Luo De opened the dormitory door, then suddenly turned around. "Brother Chuan, if I can't go, can you keep an eye on Li Wei and Wang Jia for me? Don't let any scenes that would cause me pain happen, okay?"
"Fat De, Li Wei is my four-year good brother. I can only promise you that I won't let Li Wei do anything illegal; I can't guarantee Li Wei won't do anything immoral."
Wang Chuan deliberately provoked Luo De.
Thump! Luo De dropped to his knees; with such weight falling, Wang Chuan felt the dormitory floor was about to collapse.
"Thank you, Brother Chuan. I'll go swap shifts with someone right now."
After Luo De left, Wang Chuan squinted his eyes; drowsiness struck, and he instantly fainted.
"Xin Chanxi, Xin Chanxi! Don't~~"
Wang Chuan touched his forehead, which was covered in cold sweat, and opened his eyes.
Xin Chanxi's exquisite and beautiful face came into Wang Chuan's view.
"Brother Wang Chuan, you were dreaming just now; you dreamed of me. What was I doing in your dream?"
Wang Chuan's vision cleared; Xin Chanxi was sitting by his bed, staring at him intently. "How can one remember dreams clearly?"
Actually, Wang Chuan remembered the last image: Xin Chanxi, covered in dirty blood, lying in his arms; he racked his brains but couldn't remember what happened before that.
If he had finished shouting his words just now, it would have been: "Xin Chanxi, Xin Chanxi, don't be afraid, don't be afraid; Brother Wang Chuan can save you."
'This nightmare must be because I was too tired from the Night Shift.'
Wang Chuan checked the time; it was noon, twelve o'clock. He remembered setting his alarm for eleven in the morning, the Canteen meal time. "Xin~"
Xin Chanxi smiled: "I just arrived at your dormitory, heard your mobile phone alarm ringing, and turned it off for you. I saw you sleeping so well and thought I'd let you sleep a bit longer."
"No way, you've been sitting by the bed for a whole hour."
Wang Chuan deliberately touched himself; Xin Chanxi looked puzzled. "Brother Wang Chuan, what are you doing?"
"I'm checking to see if you took advantage of me while I was sleeping and molested me."
After hearing this, Xin Chanxi said, "How is that possible?! Brother Wang Chuan, you're really funny?!"
Wang Chuan got up and said seriously, "Molestation isn't certain, but getting handsy is. You used your beautiful eyes to molest me."
The two chatted for a while longer, then went to the Surgery Department ward to find Guo Qiancheng.
Unexpectedly, Guo Qiancheng firmly refused. "My dad worked for that contractor; Xin Chanxi, it has nothing to do with your dad."
Wang Chuan had no choice but to explain the real estate company, the general contractor, the subcontractor, and multiple other parties involved, then added, "Xin Chanxi's family's real estate company is also a party providing compensation, but the proportion they pay isn't high. The bulk of the compensation is with the contractor. The extra money here goes to a scholarship fund."
"Scholarship fund?" Guo Qiancheng looked puzzled.
Xin Chanxi repeated the words Wang Chuan had taught her: "My dad's real estate company, starting this year, will issue a scholarship fund to students in Mingzhou who get into Qingbei, to help them complete their university studies smoothly."
"That's right; this is also when a company reaches a certain size, it starts fulfilling its social responsibilities and giving back to society!"
Seeing Guo Qiancheng's expression soften, Wang Chuan added another sentence, "It's not a scholarship fund specifically for you."
Guo Qiancheng accepted Wang Chuan's three thousand; originally, he had wanted Chen Leyan to lend him the money, which he would then repay to Wang Chuan.
Later, Chen Leyan got angry and said, "Brother Wang Chuan lost both his parents, yet he didn't give up on his life's path. He saw your situation was similar to his, so he's helping you; he's helping you sincerely."
The similarity in their situations made Guo Qiancheng change his mind, accept the help, and feel that Wang Chuan and he were kindred spirits.
Someday, he would also take on a part-time job at university; he heard tutoring paid well, and he would repay Wang Chuan then.
Xin Chanxi said, "Take this fifty thousand; give three thousand to the Hospital, that's definitely enough. The remaining twenty thousand, you can use as you please."
Guo Qiancheng took the bag containing the fifty thousand, his heart filled with gratitude.
The two walked out of the Surgery Building; Wang Chuan treated Xin Chanxi to lunch at the Canteen.
Xin Chanxi raised her eyes; summer sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling behind the tall and straight figure of Wang Chuan. 'Brother Wang Chuan, wearing a halo.'
Recalling her first meeting with Wang Chuan, she had teased him openly. However, after her heart fluttered, she wasn't so open anymore; she was a bit anxious about gains and losses, and she was falling.
Wang Chuan's bright spots kept emerging; Xin Chanxi made up her mind to return to her original style.
"Brother, shall we go for a stroll at Tianyi Mall?"
"Sure."
The two of them wandered aimlessly at Tianyi Plaza, finishing one Mall and moving on to another.
They walked into a gift boutique. "Big brother, does it look like her?"
Xin Chanxi, in a white dress, wore cat-ear accessories, and a voice echoed from nowhere: "Meow, ~o(=∩ω∩=)m"
Her beautiful eyes sparkled, her lips slightly curled.
Wang Chuan heard his own heartbeat: "~~Xin Chanxi~~ you are Little Cat."
Xin Chanxi found a small white cat keychain. "This one is called Little Cat Xin. I'm giving it to you—let her accompany you every day!"
"Alright, then I should give you a keychain too, so I can accompany you every day?"
"No need, I already have one."
Xin Chanxi pulled out a Doraemon doll dressed as a Doctor from her bag, shook it, and pointed. "Doctor Wang."
The two arrived at a cold drink shop. Xin Chanxi brought over a fruit tea. "Big brother, want to drink together?"
Wang Chuan noticed the fruit tea already had a straw inserted, and Xin Chanxi held another straw in her hand.
"Is this hot fruit tea?" Wang Chuan asked.
"Big brother, this is a cold drink shop—it's iced fruit tea!"
Xin Chanxi raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Want me to heat it up?"
As she spoke, her cheeks flushed slightly.
