Chapter 517: Chapter 517

Su Lu laughed, “I didn’t really have any objections in the first place.”

Since she had agreed to his marriage proposal, she had implicitly consented to everything afterward.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed at that time.

On the way back to the hospital after dinner, Bo Jingshen was checking an almanac on his mobile phone, planning to pick an auspicious day to get their marriage certificate with Su Lu.

Su Lu, seeing him looking almost dizzy, said, “Don’t bother choosing anymore. In my opinion, Mid-Autumn Festival is perfect—when the moon is full, people reunite, celebrating a beautiful full moon festival, and it was also the first Mid-Autumn Festival you, I, and our son spent together.”

Bo Jingshen thought it was feasible, “Let’s do that. Ah, Su Xiaolu is really reliable.”

When they returned to the hospital, they didn’t visit Jing Su’s room first but went straight to Bo Yuan’s room.

Bo Yuan was sitting on the hospital bed; the small table over the bed was already set up, with one hand supporting his head and the other lightly sliding on the computer touchscreen.

His face showed fatigue, but he had no intention of resting.

The computer screen displayed pages of English medical literature, filled with complex and abstruse long terms. Although Bo Yuan was very familiar with them, reading these lengthy terms could be dizzying in his concussed state.

Su Lu was somewhat surprised, “Why are you here alone in the room? Where’s Xiao Qiao?”

Upon hearing their voices, Bo Yuan looked up at them, “I had the bodyguard take her back. She said she wanted to stew some soup for Uncle and prepare some nutritious meals. She thinks the meals she makes are better than the hospital’s—better taste and more meticulously selected ingredients.”

After finishing, Bo Yuan paused, then added, “I think so too.”

Su Lu glanced at the takeout box in her hand, “I even packed food to bring for her; looks like she won’t be able to eat it.”

Su Lu then asked Bo Yuan, “Do you want to eat?”

Bo Yuan gently shook his head, “Thanks, but no.”

Su Lu raised her eyebrows, realizing something, “Oh… it seems Xiao Qiao’s cooking involves more than just nutritious meals for Uncle.”

Bo Yuan nodded, “She said she’d bring me some as well.”

“Well, it seems I can only give this to…” Su Lu was about to say Jing Ruo but then remembered that Jing Ruo was controlling her diet to maintain her figure and surely wouldn’t eat food from restaurants that wasn’t carefully calorie-counted.

Su Lu was dumbfounded, thinking that this exquisite meal from Pingfu Building couldn’t even be given away?

Just then, a voice came from the doorway, “Only give it to who?”

Su Lu looked towards the person entering, her eyes lighting up, “Of course, it’s for you!”

Song Jining was startled, “For… for me?”

“Yes, Dr. Song, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?” Su Lu asked.

Song Jining nodded, “I just finished up and haven’t had the chance to eat.”

“Here, eat up. It’s takeout from Pingfu Building, just right to comfort a life-saving doctor like you.” Su Lu handed him the meal box.

Song Jining felt a bit embarrassed since he wasn’t close with Su Lu and glanced at Bo Yuan who nodded. Song Jining then thanked him and started to eat.

He was indeed a bit hungry and ate ravenously, though not embarrassingly so.

His eating manner was probably similar to the way Bo Jingshen and Su Lu had eaten earlier.

Nearly done eating, Bo Yuan finally called him over, “Ji Ning, come take a look at this. These doctors are eye specialists that I just had the secretariat help me find. There are honors and papers about them here. I’m not a medical student, so I don’t understand much, could you help check when you have time if there’s any padding in their credentials?”

“Sure, I’ll check it later,” Song Jining said, “Brother, what are you planning to do?”

“If there’s no water in it, I plan to have someone contact us to see if we can arrange an online consultation,” Bo Yuan said.

Song Jining had also learned about the malignant incident that occurred in the Nursing Department, but he hadn’t expected that Bo Yuan would take the matter so seriously.

To be a doctor is somewhat in this vein, where what seems like the sky falling to others may be viewed as a manageable issue within their scope.

They can still stabilize it.

But for others, it could well be nearing a breakdown.

Song Jining seemed to partly feel this way too, so he was quite surprised when he heard what Bo Yuan said.

“Why are you taking this so seriously, brother?” Song Jining asked.

Bo Yuan glanced at him lightly, “Because I don’t want to see my woman’s tears anymore.”

Crying as if a knife was stabbing his heart.

Honestly, people like Bo Yuan who are naturally indifferent, gloomy, and paranoid, normally have very little empathy and compassion. If it wasn’t because Jing Qiao was so upset.

Truthfully, Bo Yuan might have been even more composed than Song Jining.

He actually still lacks empathy and compassion, and his ability to resonate with others is quite weak.

But Jing Qiao, seems like a point that connects him with the ordinary world. Although his perception and empathy towards the outside world were not clear, he was very sensitive to Jing Qiao’s emotional perception and empathy.

So, it was enough that Jing Qiao’s perception and empathy towards the outside world were clear.

Also, because his empathy was quite weak, Bo Yuan directly hit Song Jining’s heart without any psychological burden, and he coldly glared at Song Jining, saying, “It seems you rather bear seeing your own woman shed tears.”

Song Jining: “…”

Bo Jingshen: “…”

Su Lu: “…”

Xiao Song, if you can speak nicely then speak, if you can’t, then it’s better not to say anything at all.

How embarrassing it must be, even if Song Jining didn’t care about Xiao Caizi’s past, it doesn’t mean he was willing to be reminded of it in front of everyone.

But Bo Yuan mentioned it without any psychological burden.

In Bo Yuan’s view, the matter was very simple—you’ve accepted it, so why not mention it? If you can’t mention it, it means you haven’t really accepted it. Since you haven’t accepted it, why force yourself?

Honestly, the logic is clear and unassailable.

So, those who understand Bo Yuan’s personality know what they would feel in this situation.

So, Bo Jingshen, Su Lu, and Song Jining, all three were rendered speechless and none spoke.

However, Bo Jingshen and Su Lu were suddenly reminded of that moment, at that scene, Xiao Caizi’s grieving cries, and afterward…

The three of them standing guard at the operating room door together.

Su Lu now recalled, although none of them had the time to attend to Xiao Caizi at that time, he now realized her tears seemed to have never stopped.

Until Jing Su’s surgery was over, until the doctor came out of the operating room to explain the situation of the surgery.

Until Jing Su was brought out of the operating room, his eyes wrapped in layers of gauze.

Then… she seemed to have left.
