So You're Such A Doctor Song - Chapter 122
Chapter 122: Don’t Go—I Don’t Want To Stay Here Alone
Lin Yiqin waited for a while and saw Changxin coming out looking gloomy, as though someone owed her money. Lin Yiqin couldn’t help teasing her. “What’s wrong, were you constipated? You look all upset now.”
“You’re the one who’s upset.” Changxin walked to Changqing’s ward angrily. “I’m going to look for Song Chuyi. What’s going on with that Guan Ying?”
She was really angry. How long had she been away for? Why did she feel that Song Chuyi had somehow hooked up with Guan Ying? Wasn’t Guan Ying still dating Fu Yu just a while back?
No wonder she felt that Changqing’s mood was strange. It seemed like there were problems between the couple.
“Slow down.” Lin Yiqin was persuading her from the back. “Whatever it is, talk it out slowly. After all, Song Chuyi helped you.”
“Him helping me doesn’t mean he can let Changqing down, let me tell you. Only over my dead body,” Changxin said angrily, “Even if he’s handsome, even if his medical skills are superior to mine by a hundred times, that won’t do.”
Over on his side, Song Chuyi had just helped Changqing change her drip. The closed ward door was suddenly pushed open by a strong force from outside.
Changxin’s pretty face was gloomy and not very pleasant. “Dr. Song, can you come out for a while? I want to have a chat with you.”
Song Chuyi sensed her change and frowned but he still nodded and walked out.
The moment he stepped out, Changxin said without hiding her anger, “I just heard some not very nice things. Did something happen between you and Changqing over this period of time? What’s going on with you and Guan Ying? I heard that you took extra care of her when she was hospitalized, and even her mom as well. Guan Ying is Changqing’s best friend. In today’s society, most men would easily have an affair with their wife’s best friend, but you… you…”
Lin Yiqin was afraid Changxin made things sound too bad without knowing what exactly happened and quickly pulled Changxin, saying, “Alright, let’s understand what’s going on first.” She paused for a while and said in a low tone, “Chuyi, although you’ve helped out a lot whether it’s Changxin or the Yan Corporation, your assistance doesn’t mean you can disrespect your marriage.”
Faint exhaustion flashed past the depths of Song Chuyi’s pupils. He had flown for more than ten hours and on top of that, they were already in the wee hours of the morning. He was really exhausted and didn’t want to talk about these matters. However, it seemed that he could only be honest. “Guan Ying is my ex-girlfriend. Changqing knew about this long ago and your father also knew about it earlier on.”
Changxin was in a daze. “Wasn’t Guan Ying with Fu Yu?”
“She probably… ditched me for Fu Yu.” Song Chuyi shrugged his shoulders lightly. “I helped Guan Ying because of her poor family situation. These few days, she and her mom are both hospitalized and there’s no one to look after them. Besides, Guan Ying was only hospitalized because she saved Changqing during a shoot. As a doctor, as an ex-boyfriend and also because she’s Changqing’s friend, was it wrong of me to help her?”
“This…” Changxin was stumped for words.
“However, since you brought this matter up, I won’t hide things from you.” Song Chuyi pondered for a while before saying, “Changqing and I are indeed thinking of getting our divorce procedures done.”
“Divorce?” Changxin stumbled from the blow of the news. “Why are you getting a divorce? How long have you two even been married for?”
“I think Changqing would be more than happy to get this divorce.” Song Chuyi scrunched his eyebrows together slightly. He pressed his lips together and said, “Changxin, you don’t have to hide this from me too. Hasn’t your sister liked Fu Yu ever since she was young?”
“Hold up…” Changxin raised her palm. “What you mean is that Changqing wants to get a divorce with you and be with Fu Yu?”
Song Chuyi remained silent. He was unsure what the two of them thought. He only knew that he had told Changqing many times to stay far away from Fu Yu, but she refused to listen and kept getting closer to him. His patience was limited too.
As a man, he often felt embarrassed and less capable than he desired.
“That’s not possible. There should be a misunderstanding somewhere,” Changqing said seriously, “Changqing is very timid. She would never dare to harbor such thoughts. I’m her sister and I know that too well. Besides, she’s already married to you. She would never do something like betraying a marriage. You were the one who brought up the divorce, right? Changqing would never say such things. She might seem like she needs to be pampered by everyone, but she’s actually very soft-hearted. She would never call for a divorce easily once she got married. No one knows her better than I do.”
Song Chuyi said coldly, “Perhaps she was just trying to force me to call for a divorce?”
“Chuyi, if you have these thoughts about Changqing, I think you really have some misunderstandings about Changqing.” This time, even Lin Yiqin also chimed in, “Changqing isn’t scheming—she’s totally incapable of such things.”
“That’s right,” Changxin agreed angrily. “Besides, I feel that Changqing likes you. Tonight, she was having a fever and as a sister, I was careless and didn’t take notice of that and even asked her if she wanted to go to KTV. Now that I think about it, she might’ve already been feeling unwell at that time, but the moment she heard you would be there, she wanted to come along. There are some things she might be too shy to say.”
Song Chuyi froze for a while after hearing that.
Lin Yiqin nodded. “It’s true. In the past, every time I was with Changxin, Changqing would never join us to be a lightbulb. It would normally be unheard of for her to go to KTV to accompany her sister. She must’ve come to see you.”
“Yes.” Changxin already felt her heart aching for her sister. “When has she ever come with me during hospital events in the past? She came today, though. You two should talk it through. It wasn’t like Yiqin and I have never had a huge quarrel ever since getting married, but we would never bring up a divorce unless the other person makes you feel like you really can’t endure being with them anymore.”
Changxin still felt worried after leaving the hospital and getting into Lin Yiqin’s car.
“Luckily I made this trip back. Otherwise, who knows—these two might’ve really gotten a divorce if they continued on,” she said worriedly, “I think I’ll have to talk to Fu Yu with regards to this matter.”
Lin Yiqin’s brows shifted. “What do you want to talk to Fu Yu for?”
“I want to persuade him to stop pestering Changqing,” Changxin said with a frown.
Lin Yiqin took a look at her and laughed. This was a solution, but would it really work?
In the ward, Changqing was in a deep sleep and when she woke up, she glared unhappily with her moist, large eyes and even withdrew into the blankets, just like a child.
“Your fever has subsided. It’s time to go home,” Song Chuyi carried her soft body up without giving her a choice.
It wasn’t that he wanted to wake her up at this hour so that she could go back to sleep. It was because there were too many people and bacteria at the hospital. One should not stay at the hospital for a long period of time if one had no major issues.
Changqing nestled in his wide embrace and was carried by him for a while. At first, she felt very sleepy but when she got into the car, she didn’t feel like sleeping anymore. She lowered her head and took a look at the needle hole on the back of her hand. She didn’t even know that it was taken out, but it wasn’t bleeding.
She glanced slightly at the man beside her, who was driving seriously. In the depths of the midsummer night, the wind blew in through the slightly opened window. His short, dark hair was also messed up a little by the wind and he looked like he lacked some energy and was somewhat dispirited.
He had a hand on the steering wheel. His yellow rosewood Buddhist beads were gleaming silently.
Changqing stared at the string of Buddhist beads. She had always been curious why a man would wear Buddhist beads on his wrist. Could it be that he was a Buddhist?
His head moved a little, as though he was about to turn over. Changqing subconsciously closed her eyes again.
She didn’t want him to know she was awake.
Otherwise, he might take her back to the Yan Family home or to Ruan Yang’s place.
Now that she was sick, she didn’t want to be alone.
The car came to a stop at the carpark of Lakeview Residence. Song Chuyi watched her slightly trembling eyelashes and a smile seeped through the corners of his lips.
He carried her and opened the door. Robben would forever be the first to welcome him. However, he seemed exceptionally excited today, even barking out loud late at night.
“Hush.” Song Chuyi glared at him and went to the bedroom by the side.
Robben wagged his tail aggressively as he followed behind and even took a mighty leap and jumped onto the bed.
Song Chuyi’s face darkened. He had only been away for a few days, yet this lad was getting braver. He even dared to jump onto the bed now. He placed Changqing down, covered her up and picked Robben straight up and took him out of the room.
Changqing opened her eyes immediately and covered her face as she rolled into the blankets.
However, not long afterwards, she felt warm again.
Although it hadn’t been long since she moved out, the temperature had also been increasing these days.
There was even a cotton blanket cushioned under the bed and on top of her was a silk blanket. She was so warm that she started perspiring immediately.
She could only crawl out to look for the air conditioner’s remote control. She searched for a long time but didn’t know where it was kept.
Just at that moment, the door was opened once again. Song Chuyi was carrying a thin blanket in his arms. Seeing Changqing bending over with her phone flashlight searching around the room stupefied him.
Changqing was also in a daze. She totally didn’t expect Song Chuyi to come back in.
With her posture and actions, she felt like a burglar.
Her face flushed red with embarrassment and she quickly explained weakly, “I woke up from the heat and was looking for the air conditioner’s remote control.”
“So be it. Just switch the lights on.” Song Chuyi switched on the wall light and the room suddenly lit up brightly, shining on Changqing’s red face.
She braced herself and said, “Where did you put the remote control?”
“You shouldn’t have the air conditioner on right now…”
“But it’s hot. There isn’t even a summer sleeping mat…” Changqing looked at him with puppy eyes.
Song Chuyi watched her quietly for a while before saying in a low voice, “In that case… why don’t you go sleep in my room?”
The air suddenly seemed as though it froze. Changqing looked aside and nodded.
Song Chuyi turned around and walked out and Changqing followed behind him. When she entered his room, she was so exhausted that she crawled straight onto his bed subconsciously.
“Aye, hold on, change your clothes. You stayed so long at the hospital—there are bacteria.” Song Chuyi brought out a black men’s t-shirt for her from the wardrobe.
Changqing looked at the sleeves and pouted, saying a little unhappily, “Do you despise me? I still have a cold too, and I’m covered in bacteria from head to toe…” She suppressed the urge to say the last line: “I think I should just sleep next door”.
“What I meant was, the hospital is full of patients and the beds aren’t that clean either. Besides, you even slept in the hospital bed,” Song Chuyi explained it again without a choice.
Changqing accepted the t-shirt and was still grumbling. “You doctors are so troublesome.”
