"Why are you here at the hospital?" Huo Mian walked over towards Qin Chu, her face full of surprise .
"Midnight snack . " Qin Chu didn't answer Huo Mian's question directly but instead showed her the bag of take-out in his hand .
Now that he mentioned it, Huo Mian felt a little hungry . She had been busy at work for a while and had tired herself out .
"Thanks . " Rejection became acceptance after some contemplation .
Huo Mian immediately gave away half of the takeout to Huang Yue when she realized Qin Chu had purchased a very large portion .
"Thanks, Big Sis Mian," Huang Yue said, and then murmured to Huo Mian, "Mian, who is he? He's so handsome . "
"A friend," Huo Mian lowered her voice and whispered back .
"I don't believe you . Would a friend deliver snacks in the middle of the night? Ha, I won't disturb you guys, bye!" Huang Yue took some food and walked into the office .
Only Qin Chu and Huo Mian were left in the hallway . . .
Huo Mian took a seat on one of the benches on the side, opened the takeout box and took a big bite out of a steamed xiaolongbao . (TL note: Chinese soup dumpling, tastes f*cking good, go try some, eat with vinegar, orgasm in the mouth)
She finished one in less than three bites and immediately picked up another .
"How hungry are you?" Qin Chu stared at Huo Mian, who ate with no grace .
"Very," Huo Mian answered truthfully .
"Are you still angry about what happened in the afternoon?" Qin Chu asked .
"Afternoon? What happened this afternoon?" Huo Mian looked surprised, it seemed like she had already forgotten about what had happened .
"Oh, never mind," said Qin Chu . He didn't need to mention it anymore since the concerned party didn't even remember .
"You look really tired . Were you checking on patients?"
"No, I was performing surgery . "
"You performed surgery?" Qin Chu glanced at Huo Mian in surprise .
"That's right . I did . "
"Is this a hospital feature?"
"What do you mean?" Huo Mian looked confused, as she didn't understand what Qin Chu meant .
"Not using a doctor, but instead asking a nurse to perform surgery . " Qin Cu glanced at Huo Mian with his hands in his pockets .
"The doctor ditched work half-way through her shift, and then came this pregnant woman who was experiencing difficult labor . It was an emergency, so I went ahead and did it," Huo Mian explained casually to Qin Chu what happened .
Qin Chu stared at Huo Mian for a while, and said, "Interesting . "
If she were to mention what happened to another person, their first instinct would have been, "Are you crazy? How can you perform a C-Section on a patient? You're a nurse, for god's sake!"
However, Qin Chu was not your average person . After all these years, he knew Huo Mian's personality too well . It was typical for Huo Mian to do something earth-shattering .
Most importantly, Huo Mian always knew exactly what she was doing . Forget C-Sections, she wouldn't be bogged down even if she had to perform a coronary bypass . He could tell, based on how calm Huo Mian was during that brain surgery as his assistant .
"Technically, you did save the patient . But, what you did could be very troublesome . Both the patient and hospital might give you a hard time," Qin Chu reminded her kindly .
Huo Mian nodded and swallowed the xiaolongbao in her mouth, "I know . But, I didn't have any other choice . I couldn't watch the mother and her baby die in front of me . "
Qin Chu's eyes shimmered a little after hearing what she said .
Huo Mian always looked extremely calm, sometimes even aloof . But deep down, she was a very kind and tender person . Regardless of how tough she appeared to be or how smart she was, she was still a woman .
Huo Mian broke the rules to save a patient . Her not making a big deal out of what happened wasn't her attempt to be the hero . All she wanted to do was save lives .
Qin Chu took out a bottle of Evian Spring Water he just purchased, turned open the cap, and passed it to Huo Mian .
He slowly sat down beside her, "Mian, remember when you asked me why I went abroad for seven years and studied medicine when I was supposed to inherit the family business? "
Huo Mian thought about it for a second and looked Qin Chu in the eye . She was waiting for an answer .
She really wanted to know why Qin Chu spent seven years doing something that had nothing to do with his current career .
