Chapter 113 Bitter Bi Tingting
Xiao Bing continued, “The man who just called is his aged father. He probably could not get in touch with you, so he called me. He is not in good health. What should I do… if he learned about this situation? I am most afraid of lying. I agonised over the situation after you said those words!”
As Xiao Bing was talking, he suddenly felt that there was no activity. “How could this girl have no response at all? Doesn’t she believe? Or did I say something wrong?”
Xiao Bing poked his head out of the blanket, only to find that the little nurse was wiping her tears beside him. “Damn. I’m ashamed. The little girl is so much softhearted. Am I acting like a wolf, who is deceiving a little angel?”
Xiao Bing coughed twice and comforted, “The dead cannot be resurrected. The important thing is that we should continue to live well. Don’t think too much about it.”
The little nurse wiped her tears and sobbed. “Um… your childhood friend has passed away and you still need to comfort me. You are really a good man.”
“Damn. Oh Lord, please strike me to death with lightning!”
“Come on. I am ashamed of myself. How can I deceive such a simple and kind little angel?”
Xiao Bing sighed and said with a serious face, “Some deaths are significant, while others are not. In fact, I would rather sacrifice myself. Unfortunately, it’s not… However, I will still carry forward this spirit of sacrificing myself to save others and strive to contribute to the construction of spiritual civilization in new China.”
The little nurse looked awestruck.
Xiao Bing took the opportunity to ask her a question. He asked, “By the way, my name is Xiao Bing. What’s your name?”
“My name is Liu Kexin.”
“Oh, Kexin… what a sweet name.” Xiao Bing laughed. “Did your parents give you this name before you were born?”
“Well, yes. My father gave me this name.”
“Your father is prophetic. He already knew that you would be so cute before you were born.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Kexin couldn’t help but blush. Her heart was racing. Although she was often praised by others, she always felt embarrassed.
Xiao Bing asked, “How long have you been working?”
“I just graduated this year. I have just become permanent staff.”
“Oh. Are you used to working?”
“Not bad. It is my childhood dream to heal the wounded and rescue the dying.”
If others had the same view, Xiao Bing would feel that the other party was pretending. However, when Liu Kexin said this, her eyes were shining brightly as though there was a holy radiance.
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Congratulations, your dream has finally come true.”
“Yes.” Liu Kexin sat on the chair beside the bed. She suddenly sighed and said, “However, this job is not easy to do and it is more difficult than I imagined. The public has a misconception about doctors and nurses. In the past, hospitals may be regarded as a place to heal the wounded and rescue the dying and are respected by everyone. However, due to inflation, the prices of medicines and the usage of the facilities in hospitals are soaring. Healthcare services have become too expensive. Therefore, many people think that the hospitals are trying to cheat their money. When they are suffering from a minor ailment, they rather go to the hospitals to buy medicines haphazardly, instead of coming to the hospitals for treatment.”
Xiao Bing said, “Patients have a misunderstanding about hospitals. This is a common phenomenon nowadays. However, we can’t forcefully instill our thoughts into them. You can use your actions to convince them and they will gradually change their opinions of you.”
“Yes.” Liu Kexin agreed. “Nevertheless, our performance in certain aspects is not satisfactory. Although the phenomenon of receiving red packets has been reduced, it is not fully eradicated. Our public hospitals are decent. Many private hospitals have poor medical ethics. In order to earn profits, they would rather sell expensive but unnecessary drugs to patients and draw a commission.”
While Liu Kexin was talking, she sighed and her face dimmed. There were still tears on her face. She looked attractive.
Liu Kexin was like a piece of jade, held in the palm of one’s hand. It would break to smithereens if one was not careful.
Xiao Bing said, “The world is like that. Most people have an angel and a devil in their hearts. Desire constantly nourishes and strengthens the devil. It depends on whether justice or our evil thoughts will prevail.”
Liu Kexin said, “You are right.”
“So, it has nothing to do with the profession. It is the same in every industry. I believe there are good doctors who really want to serve these patients and bad doctors who are interested in personal gain. You can’t generalise them.”
Liu Kexin said softly, “I like good doctors more. Angels can be more powerful.”
Xiao Bing looked at Liu Kexin and smiled. “But there are exceptions in this world.”
“What?”
“For example… in your heart, I think there are only angels and no demons.”
“Ah!” Liu Kexin blushed. She seemed to be at a loss. Just as she was thinking of what to say, Xiao Bing’s cell phone rang again.
Looking at the number on the mobile phone, Xiao Bing smiled bitterly and said, “I’ll take the call first!”
“Well, call me if you need anything.” Liu Kexin ran out in a fluster. Xiao Bing laughed in his sleeve. She was really a lovely girl.
Bi Tingting called. Bi Tingting was about to begin her solo concert in Jiang City, so she came a few days in advance. Xiao Bing was surprised that she had not contacted him for the past two days ever since their meeting a few days back.
After picking up the call, Bi Tingting snorted and said, “Brother Bing, you are really heartless. After having sex with me, you didn’t even contact me for the past two days? Don’t forget, I still owe you a concert ticket.”
Xiao Bing smiled bitterly. “You think I don’t want to contact you. It’s just that I’ve experienced too many things in the past two days.”
Bi Tingting asked surprisingly, “What happened?”
“Yes. I am slightly injured and hospitalised.”
“Which hospital? Which ward? I will go over now. ”
Xiao Bing said, “You shouldn’t come. It’s inappropriate for you to come. Too sensational…”
“What nonsense. Can’t I dress up? I won’t be discovered. Tell me where you are.”
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Bing told Bi Tingting his location. After Bi Tingting told Xiao Bing to wait for her, she hung up the phone.
It seemed that Bi Tingting would be coming soon. Xiao Bing put his phone aside and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had sent Yezi back. Otherwise, if Bi Tingting met Yezi, it would be catastrophic. There would be a battle between the actual girlfriend and the mistress.
This wouldn’t be the case. Xiao Bing knew Bi Tingting’s character. Since Bi Tingting decided not to pester Xiao Bing, she wouldn’t reveal their relationship to others.
After waiting for about half an hour, Bi Tingting was here. She pushed the door and came in.
Bi Tingting was wearing fashionable casual clothes, a hat, big sunglasses and a white mask. When she saw Xiao Bing dressed like a mummy, she immediately jumped on Xiao Bing and cried, “Why are you so careless? What kind of mission are you undertaking? How did you hurt yourself?”
Xiao Bing grimaced in pain and said, “My ribs are broken. If you hold me so tightly, I will probably die.”
Seeing Xiao Bing in pain, Bi Tingting let go of Xiao Bing. She took off her glasses, wiped her tears, and laughed. “You deserve it. How can you be so careless?”
Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, “It has nothing to do with my carelessness…”
“I really don’t understand. You are skilled. Why do you always get hurt when you are in Jiang City? A few days ago, you told me that your old injury had not recovered yet. Now, what happened? You have new injuries.”
Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, “As my old injury has not fully healed, I am not as strong as before. Hence, I have so many new injuries. All right, let’s not talk about this. I am now out of the woods and can be discharged after a few days of rest. ”
Bi Tingting looked at Xiao Bing doubtfully. Xiao Bing smiled bitterly and said, “Okay. I know you don’t believe me but I’m really recovering well. I am recovering faster than before…”
Xiao Bing wasn’t bluffing. In fact, even Xiao Bing himself felt very strange. Since that last outburst at the death fight, his ability to recover had greatly strengthened. Taking his current situation as an example, he originally had several broken ribs, two deep cuts and bone injury. In the past, he might not have been able to move at all. However, he was free to move his limbs now even though it was still inconvenient for him to move his body. This meant that he was recovering well. He wasn’t afraid that his wound would be affected after moving his limbs.
What exactly was the reason? Xiao Bing thought that this improvement was related to the mysterious and evil power, which was released during the death fight. A minute portion of the power had fused with his inner strength. Hence, his ability to recover had increased.
“What exactly is that force?” This was what Xiao Bing was eager to know. Xiao Bing had a feeling that this force would either destroy or rejuvenate him. If he could integrate that force into his original strength, what would he become?
Invincible?
Bi Tingting snorted. “What do mean by your body recovers faster than before? Don’t comfort me.”
Xiao Bing did not bother to explain. He asked, “By the way, where are the concert tickets?”
“Here.” Bi Tingting opened the bag. She fished the tickets out and handed them to Xiao Bing. There were a total of ten tickets. After all, all the tickets were sold out and the ticket was hard to come by.
When Bi Tingting handed the tickets to Xiao Bing, she was pouting and looked bitter.
