Operating Room

  Seeing her secretly sulking, Gu Mo became more spirited, directly sitting in her position and starting to flip through.

  "Hurry up and get Mr. Gu a cup of coffee," the manager said in a low voice.

  He reluctantly went to get a cup of freshly ground coffee, but didn't expect that on his way back, he slipped on a puddle of water.

  This fall made her hum a stuffy voice, and it hurt so much that she thought today was really an unlucky day.

  This commotion attracted everyone's attention.

  Xia Ri immediately got up and ran over, "Mian Mian, are you okay? Get up quickly"

  "Let me take a break." Seeing that they were both worried, Si Wen comforted them by saying, "It's nothing, just a scratch, no big deal."

  Gu Mo put down the documents and stood up, walking over in big strides, not caring that he would wrinkle his expensive suit, and directly picked her up from the ground. "Where is the infirmary?"

  Xia Ri was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "I'll take you there"

  Gu Mo hugged her and strode swiftly, even Xia Ri had to run to keep up with his pace on a summer day.

  Si Mian let Xia Ri go back to work first and got rid of her.

  Although he carried her to the infirmary, Si Mian still disliked it. Being held upside down like this made her waist ache. She patted his arm and said "Put me down".

  "How did you get hurt and still so restless, move again and I'll beat you up"

  "I'm not crippled, don't be so shocked. It was a bit painful just now, but it's fine after the numbness has passed. Besides, there's no wound and no bleeding, what are you going to the infirmary for?"

  The aunt in the clinic's office, her eyes aren't X-ray machines, but she can still see through.

  "Then go to the hospital, it might be an internal injury. If you broke a bone from falling, that would be serious. It's better to get checked out, this girl doesn't even care about her own body."

  No matter how much Si Mian resisted, Gu Mo still acted arbitrarily and sent her to the largest hospital in the city, even making an appointment and seeing an orthopedic doctor.

  It took half a day's effort, but nothing was accomplished. However, the driver was exhausted from being pushed and pulled around, and ended up feeling dizzy and disoriented.

  The most hateful thing is that in the end, she still had to be given a tetanus shot by the doctor, and it hurt so much that Si Mian cried out for her father and mother. In her heart, she wanted to tear him apart into eight pieces, but even that wouldn't make her feel better.

  Gu Mei sat on the chair, staring at her script as if studying a treasure map.

  Si Mian sat beside him, pressing the cotton swab against the needle hole, her arm numb and slightly painful. She muttered under her breath, "Damn it, if you like getting injections so much, go get one yourself, psycho, you're killing me!"

  Carefully removing the cotton swab, a faint trickle of blood seeped out. Si Mian's eyebrows twitched with anger, "Despicable stinky man, obviously intentionally retaliating. Hmph, a gentleman takes revenge ten years later, wait for Miss to wait."

  Gu Mo put down the film and turned his head, staring at her with a stern face, "Insult me again, I'll have someone give you another shot"

  Damn it, she spoke so softly, but he could still hear her, this man has ears that can pick up the wind!

  "I need to go back to work, or I'll be docked pay." Now she just wants to get away from this old man as soon as possible.

  "After work, go home and don't run around everywhere"

  "I'll be back late tonight"

  "Why?" Gu Mo asked discontentedly.

  "Tonight our department is going to sing K together, everyone has agreed, if I don't go, it's so untrustworthy"

  "Are you planning on keeping this from me if I didn't ask?"

  "What's there?" Si Mian hurriedly said, "I will definitely tell you"

  "What if I told you not to go?"

  "Hey, hey, I married you as your wife, not a prisoner. Do you have the right to treat me like this?"

  And she hasn't gone out for a long time, staying at home every day is suffocating. It's not easy for the department to go out and have fun, how can she miss it.

  Damn it, how did she end up marrying a man like him?

  Gu Mei also went through this age, knowing that she is now in the age of crazy love and play, the more she is not allowed, the more she will be rebellious and resistant, and she belongs to the sky, should not be bound.

  "Next time something like this happens, tell me in advance, or you're not allowed to go."

  Suddenly, Si Mian stood up like he had been injected with chicken blood, and gave a military salute, "Yes"

  Her small face was filled with radiant smiles, so youthful and lively, as if all the morning dew had converged, even the sunlight became a foil.

  "Ah... it hurts..." For a moment excited, she raised her hand with the needle, now reacting, her expression twisted.

  Gu Mo pulled her down to sit, furrowed his brow and took a look, fortunately there was no bleeding. "I'm speechless with you."

  His sharp tongue was completely forgotten, and he had totally forgotten about today's hatred towards him, feeling wonderful.

  "You can go, but I have a request"

  "What's required?"

  "No drinking allowed, no coming back too late. If you're later than 11 o'clock, be prepared to sleep at the door, I won't open it for you."

  "What you say goes," answered Si Ma quickly and decisively.

  Send her back to the company, and just before Sai Mian got off the car, Gu Mo opened his mouth with a disgusted face, "Go back and wash your shoes that have been soaked in the basin. A stinky smell, are you ashamed?"

  Si Mian's face flashed with unease, rubbing her nose, a guilty conscience on her face, she had changed out of it last night and forgotten to wash it immediately.

  "Ugh...I'll just go home and wash up..." It was too embarrassing, she ran away quickly.

  …..

  The liberated Xiaoming sang very well today and was in a state of excitement, dancing with joy.

  When parting, Si Mian was still reluctant to leave, and even though he hadn't drunk any wine, he suddenly stood up and sang loudly, "The mountain road here has eighteen bends...here..."

  "Stop singing, everyone is watching." Xia Ri supported her.

  "I'm glad——"

  "It's like just getting out of prison," Fei Xue whispered to Xia Ri.

  "You're right, ah——" Scratching his head in annoyance, he let out a sharp cry, then calmed down, "I'm going back."

  "Don't go back today, anyway you can't go back, and no one will find out at Su's house. If you're afraid Auntie will worry, just give her a call and tell her you're staying over at my place tonight, I'm sure she won't object." Xia Ri suggested enthusiastically, leaning on her shoulder.

  "Alas..." She let out a deep sigh, who knew the bitter days she had been through? "Forget it, I'll just go back. Goodbye, goodbye."

  If I go back late, Gu will get angry and if I don't return for the night, she might even strip me of my skin.

  It's almost ten o'clock, only the overtime bus is left, and there are no people on the platform. The driver is leaning lazily against it, playing with his phone.

  Suddenly, chaotic footsteps came from afar, Si Mian raised his head to look over, on the pedestrian path, there was a group of people chasing and hitting someone in front.

  Si Mian didn't plan on getting involved in other people's business, standing there motionless, only hoping they would pass by quickly.

  However, the person in front of her ran towards her direction, stumbling and staggering, constantly begging for mercy, "Cheng Ge, even if I had a bigger nerve, I wouldn't dare to cheat again in your casino."

  In the darkness, he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but the voice sounded very familiar to Si Mian.

  "Si Dawei, you still dare to quibble, all of my men saw you hiding the card in your sleeve!" The man behind him took off his shoe and threw it over.

  The shoe hit his head, hurting so much that his eyes blurred, and he fell to the ground in a sorry state.

  The man ran over and stepped directly on his belly, scolding fiercely, "I'll kill you, how much money have you won in the past few days? Spit it all out for me!"

  Sai Da Wei let out a miserable cry, hugging his legs, "Cheng Ge, I really didn't cheat, spare me, ah...!"

  Such a scene is already very familiar to Xiaoming, who often saw his father, Dawei, return home with a bruised face when he was young. The door was filled with words like "pay back the money", "rotten gambler" and "ghost".

  Sometimes those people would even come to our home to ask for money. Every time mom couldn't give them any, they would smash up the house until it was a mess.

  "Tell Sari Dawai, if you don't return the money, I'll sell your mother and daughter."

  Liu Zilan grasped Si Dawei's hand and said, "Dawei, stop playing cards, go find a proper job."

  "You know what? Making money from playing cards is fast and a lot. Look at me, sometimes I can make several thousand yuan in just one day."

  The family has fallen apart now, and Dad still hasn't corrected his ways, remaining deeply mired in his card game addiction.

  Just thinking about this made Sima very angry and he didn't want to care about him, it would be best if these people cut off his fingers so that he wouldn't fight again.

  "Si Dawei, you son of a bitch...!" The man kicked Si Dawei's belly viciously.

  "Ah... save me... spare my life..."

  The wails were so mournful, one after another reaching Su Mian's ears. She turned around and didn't look back, taking out her earbuds to block her ears, turning the music up to its maximum volume.

  The car is still not here! Damn it, the driver's face is full of annoyance.

  "Ah... Cheng Ge... stop hitting me... please..."

  My god, when did her ears become so sensitive? The music is playing so loudly, but she can still hear.

  Suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then as if he had made up his mind, pulled off the headphones.

  The sound of the police siren came, as if it was nearby——

  "Boss, the police have arrived, what should we do?"

  Cheng Ge measured it and entered the bureau, "Let this dog off once, go, next time I'll deal with him"

  When that group of people disappeared, Si Mian turned off the downloaded police siren sound and saw Si Da Wei lying there motionless. Si Mian quickly ran over.

  Seeing him covered in blood, Si Mian reached out and shook him, "Dad, wake up, Dad——"

  Although I hate him, his bones are still connected to his tendons.

  Xie Dawei opened his eyes, and for a moment he thought he was still dreaming. His hands were waving wildly in the air as he called out, "Mianmian, is that you?"

  Seeing him being beaten, Si Mian's thoughts were a bit fuzzy. He felt uncomfortable in his heart and helped him stand up to sit on the chair. "Dad, didn't I just give you a bank card with several tens of thousands of yuan? Why did you go gamble again?"

  "Damn it! I just got it and haven't even warmed up yet, and some thief has already stolen it from me. It's really infuriating!"

  Si Mian let out a sigh of relief, looking quite spirited, apparently nothing serious was wrong.

  ….

  Gu Mo returned home after a night of socializing, it was already 10:30. After getting out of the car, he saw that there was no light on at home. Hadn't that kid come back yet? Could she have gone wild playing?

  After finishing his bath, Gu Mo watched the evening news and occasionally looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already 11 o'clock, but he still hadn't returned.

  He suddenly got up and went to the study, but strangely, he used to be focused and had no distractions, but today he couldn't concentrate and felt annoyed after reading just a little.

  He roughly threw the things in his hand on the table, then walked into the living room, wandering around, and finally couldn't help but kick the door.

  This dead girl, Si Mian, really took his words as nothing but a breeze in her ear.

  Gu Mo threw himself onto the sofa, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then casually picked up a financial magazine to flip through. The more he looked at it, the more annoyed he became - what a terrible magazine, so ugly, forget it.

  Stinky girl, already married, still doesn't come home, what's she doing wandering around outside? When she comes back, must teach her a lesson, hang her up and beat her.

  He couldn't bear it anymore, quickly got up, opened the door and walked out, standing at the entrance, looking towards the road leading home, under the streetlights, there wasn't even a shadow.

  He's crazy, he actually waited for her again!

  When the phone finally rang, Gu Mo almost immediately picked it up and scolded, "Where have you been? If you don't come back now, never come back again. You're going to be the death of me, hurry up and get back here!"

  "Something's come up here, I won't be able to return for a while."

  "What's going on? Speak quickly!" Gu Mo's voice suddenly dropped.

  Si Mian lowered his head and muttered, "Nothing... my friend Xia Ri had too much to drink and is vomiting again. The others have all left, only we're left, so later I'll send her back."

  Gu Mo fell silent for a moment, his voice slightly warmer than before, "You haven't been drinking, have you?"

  Nothing

  "Can you handle it by yourself? Do you want me to help you?"

  "It's okay, you go to bed early, if it's too late, I'll stay at Xia Ri's house"

  "Alright, take care of yourself and call me earlier next time if anything happens." I didn't know someone would worry.

  As soon as he heard that she was fine and hadn't been drinking, Gu Mo couldn't help but feel relieved.

  After hanging up the phone, Si Mian's shoulders slumped and he looked extremely exhausted.

  Si Da Wei's face was covered in blood, and no inn would let him stay. Si Mian supported him as they went from door to door, sweat dripping down his forehead, listening to his constant wails of pain, Si Mian felt a lump in his throat.

  The house in the family had been sold to pay off debts, so Si Mian didn't know where to go. In fact, she hoped that at this moment someone could share these things with her and have a shoulder for her to lean on.

  Going back home was absolutely impossible, although she was weak, but she also had self-respect, she didn't want to let Gu Mo know about these things.

  However, it can't be denied that the phone call just now made her heart warm, although he still spoke roughly and impatiently, but couldn't hide his concern for her.

  After much difficulty, they finally found a hotel that was willing to let them stay, but "I'm sorry, miss, we must have your ID, or else we can't check you in."

  "Miss, can't you be more flexible? My dad is injured and needs to rest urgently. Can I bring my ID here tomorrow instead?" pleaded Si Mian.

  The receptionist looked at her apologetically, "I'm really sorry, this is our system and it can't be changed."

  "We're not bad people, please, just this once"

  "Sorry"

  "Thanks then, sorry for disturbing you."

  Si Mian turned around and supported Si Da Wei as they walked out. After walking for so long, she was actually very tired, not just physically, but also mentally.

  The surroundings were so quiet, and she was anxious in her heart. Although she didn't want to care about him, although she hated him to death, yet she couldn't let go, unable to abandon him here.

  "I'm not leaving...not leaving..." Si Dawei muttered to himself, directly sitting down on the ground and then lying down with his eyes closed, completely disregarding how similar this made him look to a homeless person.

  Seeing this scene, Si Mian's eyes couldn't help but turn red, but she forced herself not to cry.

  A long, long time ago, Si Mian already knew that crying was the most useless thing. No one would sympathize with you.

  There was no other way, so Si Mian could only take Si Da Wei to KFC. The waiter's gaze was so strange, but she pretended not to see it.

  He chose a corner location, bought some food, smelled the aroma, and Si Dawei opened his eyes, using his hand to dig out the dried blood that had stuck to his eyelids.

  Then pick it up and eat it, extremely hungry, without any image at all.

  He ate too fast and a bone got stuck in his throat, causing him to cough nonstop. Si Mian patted his back, "Eat slower."

  Sai Da Wei didn't think so, after eating, his spirit improved a bit, he waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, don't bother me anymore, I won't die, go on, go on, standing in front of me is very annoying"

  "Where you live, after sending you back, don't rush, I won't stay a minute longer than necessary"

  "No need to see me off, I'm not senile yet." Si Dawei stood up and walked outside.

  Si Mian sat there and didn't catch up.

  "Ah——" A miserable cry came from outside, Si Mian hurriedly got up and ran out. Si Dawei fell to the ground, his arm was cut by a piece of broken glass, and blood flowed out like water.

  He was injured with blood vessels and tendons damaged, requiring sutures, so an emergency surgery was performed on him.

  When Da Wei was wheeled out of the operating room and into his hospital room, Meng felt a wave of relief wash over her, but the difficulties that followed immediately drove her crazy.

  A casual treatment in a hospital costs a lot of money, and this time it's going to cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

  She now has only a few thousand yuan left on her card, which is far from enough.

  Mom definitely won't spend another penny on Dad, and if she knew she was still taking care of him, she would definitely drag her away and let Dad fend for himself.

  In the summer and flying snow wages are all handed over, there is no extra money to lend her.

  What to do? Suddenly, Gu Mo's appearance flashed in her mind, she bit her red lips and pondered for half a day, not knowing whether to speak to him or not.

  So annoying!!!!!

  When I opened the door with the key, I found that it was not locked inside. I was overjoyed and sneaked in quietly, lying down on the sofa without entering the bedroom.

  Just as she closed her eyes, the living room lights suddenly turned on, and Si Rong was startled, hastily jumping up.

  Gu Mo stared at her, immediately furrowing his brow, "How is there blood on you? Are you injured?"

  She looked quite disheveled, her hair was messy and tangled, her clothes were wrinkled and stained with some unknown substance, overall she looked dirty.

  She dryly laughed and stuttered, "Xia... Xia had a nosebleed on summer days"

  "Have you been drinking? Otherwise, why is your tongue so big?"

  Ji Mian immediately lay down, closing his eyes. "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep. You should go in and sleep too." After finishing speaking, he covered his face with the pillow.

  A very obvious evasive posture.
