See You Off

The operation time was short, about half an hour.

When the incision was stitched up, Dr. Liu saw that Ruo Bi had a realization.

“We’re really not…”

Ruo Bi didn’t know what she was explaining. She felt like she had just put out a sign saying “300 taels of silver are not here”1.

She sighed, and ran out of the operating room.

So Doctor Liu moved his gossiping eyes onto Hua Jingzhi.

Hua Jingzhi coughed a few times to ease the embarrassment. “Not yet.”

Dr. Liu raised his eyebrows. “How long have you been chasing?”

“… more than 20 years.”

“Tsk tsk.”

Hua Jingzhi smiled wryly. “I’m stupid, I can’t say a nice confession.”

Dr. Liu took off his mask and rolled his eyes. “How about I teach you a trick?

***

Ruo Bi ran out of the hospital gate in one breath. She sat in front of the flower bed and played with a leaf.

A green leaf was torn apart by her, folded in half, and torn again, turning into a small handful of green flakes.

With one hand movement, the torn pieces fell down one after another, and the hand smelled like nature.

When Hua Jingzhi approached, Ruo Bi was curling up into a small ball. She looked like a soft little fox.

“Get up.” When these words came out, he felt his tone was a little stiff, so he added, “It’s cold on the ground, and you aren’t wearing underwear…”

“Shut up!” Ruo Bi rushed forward and covered his mouth.

It was really crazy.

And he should not be saying what should not be said out loud.

Hua Jingzhi shut up obediently.

“What did Doctor Liu say?”

“Cracked bone.” He showed her his arm in a cast.

Although Ruo Bi was an andrologist, she was also aware of the power of the bullet. The bullet obviously penetrated from the base of the palm, tearing through the muscles of the forearm, and finally stopped at the joint of the elbow where it was blocked by bones. A fracture was simple.

She looked at the man in front of her again. He was tall and strong, and he didn’t react during the operation while not having anesthesia, but her lips were red and swollen, and it hurt when she touched it lightly.

Ruo Bi became angry when she thought about it. This person had been normal for more than 20 years, why did he suddenly change since this morning…

“Take care of yourself,” Ruo Bi casually tore another leaf in her hand. “I’m going home.”

“I’ll see you off.”

“You don’t need to.”

He insisted, “I’ll see you off.”

There were people coming and going at the entrance of the hospital, and she didn’t want to accidentally meet any acquaintances. Thus, she could only walk in the direction of the subway station in a dull mood.

Hua Jingzhi didn’t speak, and followed behind with one arm dangling.

It was just like when they were in school.

When she got on the subway, there were quite a lot of people.

As soon as she went in, Hua Jingzhi deliberately pushed her into a corner.

She was unhappy and covered her chest with both hands.: “What are you doing?”

Hua Jingzhi signaled towards an old man in his fifties close by with his eyes. He had a lewd smile on his face, and was about to stick his phone under her skirt to take a picture.

Ruo Bi’s head buzzed.

She was already pretty, but now she was preoccupied with her thoughts, she let her guard down.

She was almost photographed and didn’t realize it.

After a moment, she became afraid.

“In the future, I will send you to and from work.”

Ruo Bi lowered her head, looking at his military boots. “I was afraid that you didn’t take anesthesia, so I just…”

“I know.”

Ruo Bi flattened her lips and was about to say something when her chest was suddenly squeezed.

The subway pulled into the station, and a group of noisy students came in and bumped into Hua Jingzhi.

He was holding the handrail above his head with one hand. He needed to support his body to not fall on her, so he used his injured hand.

The students seemed to realize that they had bumped into someone, and kept apologizing.

“It’s okay,” Hua Jingzhi gritted his teeth with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Ruo Bi was a little worried. She had never seen Hua Jingzhi show such a painful expression before.

Not even today when he had a bullet in him during the day.

It should be really painful, it probably hurts…

“Hua Jingzhi…”

“I’m fine.”

“If it doesn’t heal, let’s go back to the hospital to see…”

“I don’t need to.”

“Don’t be stupidly brave!”

Hua Jingzhi looked at how her eyebrows were furrowed because she was annoyed and he smiled. “It’s too late, I’ll send you back first before going to the hospital.”

idiom meaning to cover up the truth. It comes from a story about how someone actually buried 300 taels and put up a sign saying it’s not here
