Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 550 - 61: The Ability to Support the Family_4
Shi Suifeng nodded, "I remember. The village chief’s daughter."
The indifference in his words was clear to everyone.
The nurse preparing the medicine pursed her lips, having no expectations from her anymore.
Wen Juan lightly stomped her foot:
"Brother Shi, why are you like this? We’ve grown up together since we were kids."
She wanted to mention the life-saving incident, but it was Chu River who pulled her up that day...
Sigh.
Still, growing up in the same village isn’t wrong either!
Shi Suifeng nodded again:
"Sorry, I must have remembered your age wrong—you’re in your thirties this year?"
Since they grew up together, their ages must be similar.
He’s already 30 this year.
...
The nurse preparing the medicine let out a laugh, unable to hold it in.
Wen Juan’s face was burning hot.
But she’s toughened up now and is no longer the girl who cried and ran away when startled by Chu River.
She could even put on a playful yet innocent face— 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"Brother Shi, how could you! Making fun of a girl’s age."
Shi Suifeng’s arm instantly tensed.
Even the hairs on his bandaged arm seemed to stand up.
He thought: I might as well pretend to sleep; at least I could learn a lot of new stuff, unlike this odd tone.
So he continued with a blank face:
"Sorry, I thought you were really the same age as me."
Wen Juan: ...
This jerk!!!
No matter how good-looking, it can’t mask that sharp tongue!
But she had the strongest mindset.
She held it in and managed a laugh:
"Look at what you’re saying... Brother Shi, I’m not that old. Haven’t you noticed I’m much prettier than before?"
Warm, bold, and direct.
The nurse changing the bandages: So... do I not exist here?
This time, Shi Suifeng really took a good look at her.
——Delicately drawn eyebrows, slightly swollen big eyes, a not-too-high or too-low nose bridge...
That’s it.
The head nurse repeatedly emphasized, under no circumstances can masks be removed. If caught, there will be fines, serious ones!
No matter if Shi Suifeng praised her or not, Wen Juan had a chance to take off her mask, showing off her well-groomed look.
——She usually fears fines because she relies on her salary.
If taking the risk meant Shi Suifeng remembering her... would she care about a bit of salary?
All the head nurse’s fault, the old woman! Making trouble for no reason!
Without any need, she insisted on everyone tying their hair and tucking it into their caps.
Clearly, when her long hair is down, she’s pure and charming.
...
For a long time.
When the nurse finally unwrapped the bandages on Shi Suifeng’s arm, he seriously replied:
"I don’t remember what you used to look like, but looking at you now... you’ve actually tried quite hard to look good."
Trying hard to look good?
The nurse applying the medicine pressed the swab, causing a brief pain in his arm.
Shi Suifeng looked down at her, her face red, struggling hard to hold back laughter.
"Sorry about that..."
The nurse also knew she couldn’t continue like this, so she scolded Wen Juan:
"Weren’t you here to learn? Why are you pestering the patient? Watch carefully."
Wen Juan was both angry and embarrassed.
Caught by a colleague, seeing herself embarrassed, she wanted to overturn the medicine in front of her.
But she forced herself to hold it in.
After a long time, her mask-covered face twisted into a gentle and understanding look.
"Brother Shi, I understand your intention, you’re avoiding suspicion."
"But you’re injured and hospitalized this time, if I become your nurse, will Little He get mad?"
Mentioning Little He, Shi Suifeng’s expression softened a lot.
He looked at the nurse re-bandaging his arm, then at Wen Juan, and suddenly asked:
"Should I use saline or alcohol to clean this wound?"
"Of course, alcohol!"
Wen Juan blurted out.
The next moment.
The nurse who just tied a nice knot with the bandage stood up abruptly!
Ignoring the other patients, she pointed directly at Wen Juan’s nose and scolded her:
"You’ve been here for half a month, can’t you pay attention to your work? I have a big bottle of iodophor here, can’t you see it?!"
"The color of iodophor, and alcohol or saline, can’t you tell the difference?"
"Do you have eyes only for staring at patients?"
"Are you capable or not?!"
Wen Juan: ...
Her face flushed red and white.
Looking again at the scolding nurse, she was also glaring at her in disgust.
Shi Suifeng calmly looked away.
"Sorry, it seems you’re not my nurse."
...
Wen Juan was pushed away crying by the nurse.
Shi Suifeng couldn’t help but think of the previous topic.
If Little He knew he was injured and in the hospital, would she be mad?
After all, Little He might not be meticulous, but she does care about him. She even had Da Dan prepare some food for him before leaving.
That’s silent care, which moved Shi Suifeng a lot.
But the next moment, a trace of worry arose in his heart—
What if she gets angry? Children are hard to appease when they’re mad.
This time, he’s the one with a headache.
...
With no experience in comforting kids, Shi Suifeng could only rack his brains thinking about recent tasty treats?
Buy a lot of them!
But this time, saving Professor Zheng on time indirectly led to the perfect completion of their mission and the invention of new achievements.
There should be bonuses and subsidies.
And the documents were just issued a few days ago, their allowance will be significantly increased.
Calculating it, the salary plus bonuses and subsidies for next month should be more than a hundred bucks.
It’s double what he used to get.
He can now support Little He.
Finally having the ability to provide for a family, Shi Suifeng thought, he must give all the money and tickets to her!
With this thought, a sense of pride rose within him.
He let out a contented sigh, reached for the book he had specially ordered to be brought to his bedside, and started reading earnestly.
With a pay raise, one must also work hard indeed.
