Chapter 4: Protect the Sprout of Love

From a seed to a towering tree, how much water is needed?

In March of 2010, exactly one year post-surgery, Mr. Lin returned to the hospital for an overall check-up.

At night, I still accompanied Mr. Lin. Half a year after his last visit, I laid down on the narrow visitor's bed. At night, I heard the sound of a family member of another patient in the same ward falling onto the floor. I couldn't help but sigh because I could turn, lie flat, lie on my side, and curl up in this 40cm bed without a problem. I was actually a reincarnation of Little Dragon Girl* right.....

*Xiaolongnü is the fictional female protagonist of the wuxia novel The Return of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong.

In a haze, I felt some movement and quickly opened my eyes. The day was just beginning to dawn. I could clearly see Dr. Gu bending over, the distance between his face and mine was less than 30cm. One of his hands was on a button of my pajamas...

The reaction of a normal heroine would be:

"Ah, pervert!" and would get shy.

(or...)

"Ah, disgusting~" counterattacks.

(or...)

"Ah, jerk!" then a slap across the face.

My first reaction was turning my head to look at Mr. Lin. If he saw this scene, Dr. Gu would probably die young...

Mr. Lin's eyes were silently closed, his sleeping position was very innocent.

Then, I turned my head back and looked at the lecher who appeared in front of my bed. Even if the brain of a person who has just woken up isn't clear minded yet, don't tell me you check on your patients at 5 in the morning! I thought.

Dr. Gu slowly buttoned the last button on my pajamas, pulled it down to cover my stomach and pulled up the covers. Then he slowly walked out of the room.

I laid there for a bit, my mind now completely wide awake. I touched the phone that was vibrating by my pillow and said, "We do have male nurses here."

Who will come here and control this defiant person who thinks he can just walk into a lady's bedroom at night and pretend like nobody's there!

The next day, there was a new person who came to prescribe Mr. Lin a stronger CT scan and an X-ray as well. He was relatively simple, so simple that before Mr. Lin started teasing him, he already said, "He-Hello. This... is the oral contrast*...." After he finished speaking, the intern left with a red face.

*oral contrast is a liquid you drink for abdominal CT scans where the doctors can get a better look of what's inside.

I grabbed my phone and looked at my text messages.

GW: "It was our department intern's turn today. Last name Gao. Personality is simple. He doesn't randomly tease people."

I sent back a look of disdain.

I took the prescription and waited in line at the radiology department. While waiting, Mr. Lin gave me a tug and said, "Let's go for a walk together."

Mr. Lin has a hobby -- looking at cars. I believe that a lot of males have this addiction in common. Overall, his behavior on seeing a car on the street, would be to go and look at its license plate, its model, where it was manufactured, engine specifications, what type of car it is, its chassis, fuel consumption details, etc....going through all that at once and then making an individual comment about all the information. He never missed any auto shows. Mr. Lin is one of those patients whose condition was more serious in regards to the habit of looking at cars. It is so serious that my mom and I would often turn around and find that he would have disappeared. When we retrace our steps to find him, he would be aside by some car, analyzing it like there is no one else around.
