บท 17: Chapter 17 Feeding the Patient Spicy Hot Pot
"Hiss~"
"It hurts so much~"
In the sterile white hospital room, a moan was heard.
Fang Xiaocao had woken up!
But the waves of dizziness in her brain made her not want to open her eyes.
Yet, she was terribly thirsty and wanted to drink water!
Fang Xiaocao could only lie on the hospital bed moaning, hoping someone kind would pay attention to her.
To give her a sip of water, to save her life!
Her head was spinning, she felt nauseous, like vomiting, and her entire body ached!
That was the most direct sensation Fang Xiaocao had upon waking up.
"You're awake?"
"Quick, go call the doctor!"
A familiar voice reached her ears.
"Hey, don't go~"
"Give me some water to drink before you leave~"
As the sound of footsteps faded away, Fang Xiaocao called out weakly.
However, that person, like a stubborn bear,
simply did not hear Fang Xiaocao's mosquito-like voice.
"Bang!"
The door of the ward closed, and Fang Xiaocao pouted, feeling like crying.
"Is this how you take care of a patient?"
"Not even asking if someone is thirsty..."
Fang Xiaocao grumbled to herself indignantly.
"Damn, it hurts so much~"
"Had I known it'd be this painful, I wouldn't have pushed myself..."
Fang Xiaocao lay on the hospital bed with teary eyes, muttering, as she looked at the water glass placed to the side, wanting to grab it but lacking the strength to do so.
"Water, oh water, come to my mouth quickly..."
Fang Xiaocao gazed longingly at the water glass, wishing the water inside would understand and fly into her mouth.
"Damn it, who's supposed to be keeping watch anyway..."
"Wuuu..."
"If you don't come back soon, I'm going to die of thirst..."
Fang Xiaocao looked at the call button beside her bed but was too weak to reach for it, only able to grumpily grumble in her heart about the unreliability of her caretaker.
"What's the matter?"
"Is the call button too hot to touch?"
As Fang Xiaocao looked on in eager anticipation, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a pretty nurse walked in.
"Huh?"
"You're awake?"
"Where's your caregiver?"
"Why didn't you press the call button?"
The nurse was momentarily stunned to see Fang Xiaocao staring at her and spoke in confusion.
"Wuuu~"
"I've seen an angel~"
Upon seeing the nurse, Fang Xiaocao was nearly in tears.
"How do you feel?"
The nurse walked to the bedside and asked with a smile,
and casually pressed the call button.
"Water... I'm thirsty..."
Fang Xiaocao said with all the energy she could muster, her voice trembling.
The nurse was startled by Fang Xiaocao's words.
She instinctively looked at Fang Xiaocao's dry lips.
"I've never seen a caregiver this unreliable before, leaving without informing a nurse, and when the patient wakes up, nobody is here to call the doctor."
The nurse muttered as she picked up the water glass.
Listening to the nurse, Fang Xiaocao silently gave her approval.
If it weren't for her head feeling so dizzy, she would have nodded in agreement.
With a cotton swab dipped in water, she moistened Fang Xiaocao's lips.
"You can't drink water right now, I'll just moisten your lips first, wait until the doctor has finished the check-up, then you can have some."
The nurse said gently.
Looking at the tender and gentle angel in white, Fang Xiaocao felt overwhelmed, obediently nodding her head and licking the trace of water on her lips, seemingly not feeling as thirsty anymore.
"Good, you're being very good!"
The nurse said with a smile.
"Squeak~"
At that moment, the door of the ward was pushed open again.
A doctor walked in.
"How's the patient doing?"
The doctor asked softly.
"You seem to be in pretty good shape, just thirsty."
The nurse replied.
"Hmm, let me check first."
"If there's no problem, you can eat."
The doctor nodded and said in a deep voice.
After thoroughly inquiring about Fang Xiaocao's feelings, and she answered each question in turn, and after checking her body, the doctor nodded and said, "Aside from a slight concussion, there's nothing wrong."
"Rest up, stay in the hospital for observation for a couple of days, and then you can go home to recover."
"Eat something light these next few days, nothing too greasy, and if you feel unwell, just press the call button."
"Mm-hmm..."
Fang Xiaocao nodded, responding in a mosquito-like voice.
"Get some good rest."
After speaking, the doctor turned and left the ward.
Seeing the doctor gone, Fang Xiaocao looked at the gentle nurse with longing eyes.
The nurse smiled, took a straw, inserted it into a cup of water, and brought it to Fang Xiaocao's lips.
Fang Xiaocao's eyes lit up with gratitude as she looked at the nurse and grasped the straw in her mouth.
With the warm water flowing into her mouth and down her throat, Fang Xiaocao felt her strength returning, and even her head felt less dizzy.
"Drink slowly. If you need more, I'll pour you some."
The nurse said with a smile.
"Mm-hmm, thank you, sister."
Whenever Fang Xiaocao saw a beautiful sister, she would always call her sister.
It's all about being sweet-talking and likable.
"Rest well, and if you need anything, just press the call button."
The nurse said with a smile.
"Mm-hmm!"
Fang Xiaocao nodded in response.
Seeing Fang Xiaocao so well-behaved, the nurse smiled and after pouring her another cup of water, turned and left the ward.
After the nurse left, Fang Xiaocao struggled to sit up and search for her mobile phone.
"Huff~"
"Thank goodness the phone is okay~"
Seeing her undamaged phone by the bed, Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief.
Picking up the phone, she unlocked the screen.
A string of messages in WeChat, all from Hot Noodles, scolding her.
Fang Xiaocao smiled and replied, "I'm fine, just a slight concussion."
[Hot Noodles: I didn't know you were okay?]
[Hot Noodles: Do you realize you almost died?]
[Hot Noodles: The future can be used as a reference, but it isn't a hundred percent accurate; what if something unexpected had happened?]
Reading the messages from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao felt a wave of fright.
"I just got heated and didn't think too much at the moment."
Fang Xiaocao weakly said.
[Hot Noodles: Hmph, get some good rest, I'll take you to make some money in a couple of days.]
"Okay~"
Fang Xiaocao obediently responded.
"Bang~"
Just then, the door to the ward was violently pushed open.
Fang Xiaocao looked up and immediately rolled her eyes.
The person who arrived was her best friend and roommate, known as the Iron Lady, Su Wanqing.
A complete joker, the funny woman!
It was her who, in the midst of escorting to call the doctor, got lost on the way—Fang Xiaocao wasn't surprised in the least.
"Xiaocao, you're awake?"
"Are you hungry?"
"Want some spicy hot pot?"
"I just called the doctor, and thinking that you must be hungry, I went down and bought two super deluxe spicy hot pots~"
Saying so, Wanqing even held up the takeout containers she brought as if showing off a treasure.
"Who brings spicy hot pot to a patient?"
Fang Xiaocao replied, rolling her eyes in annoyance.
Only this funny woman would come up with the absurd idea of bringing spicy hot pot to a patient.
"Can't eat it?"
Wanqing blinked, asking with a dumbfounded face.
"Not a single bite..."
Smelling the aroma of the hot pot in the air, Fang Xiaocao's stomach betrayed her with a growl, making her even more frustrated.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so hungry~"
Fang Xiaocao moaned weakly.
"How about a beer to fill your stomach first?"
Wanqing sat on a chair, took out a can of beer, and with a "pop," opened it.
Fang Xiaocao: ...
