Jiang Li had a rare good sleep.
When she woke up, she felt refreshed.
Thinking that she would perform in the play tomorrow, Jiang Li still felt a bit nervous.
The director of the drama troupe came to console her, saying that this was just a charity performance, so she didn't need to be too harsh on herself and should just treat it with a normal heart.
But this wasn't Jiang Li's way of doing things.
She wouldn't slack off just because it was a charity performance, nor would she lower her own standards.
On the contrary, the more such occasions there were, the more she wanted to achieve perfection.
Jiang Li originally planned to take advantage of the fact that she had no other arrangements today and carefully deliberate on the details of the play at home.
It was only when she received a call from Qiao Jinrun that she remembered she hadn't gone to the hospital to get her physical examination report.
"Didn't I tell you to come and get the report two days later?" Qiao Jinrun's voice carried a hint of reproach and was very serious.
Jiang Li said sheepishly, "Sorry, Dr. Qiao. I was a bit busy with work before the holiday, so I just forgot for a moment..."
Qiao Jinrun said, "I don't care how busy you are. Since you're my patient, you must be responsible for your own health."
Jiang Li felt a bit guilty. "I'm sorry. Do you have time today? I'll come over to pick up the physical examination report."
"Okay, come early." Qiao Jinrun seemed very busy. The voices of other patients calling his name could still be heard on the phone.
No wonder he was an expert - level doctor. He was so busy early in the morning.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li felt even more guilty.
She didn't care about her own affairs, yet she made Dr. Qiao, who was very busy at work, call her specially to remind her.
"Remember to have breakfast when you come." Qiao Jinrun hastily gave this instruction and then hung up the phone.
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment.
Looking at the phone number that had called her for the second time, she directly added it to her contacts.
She noted it as "Dr. Qiao".
After simply tidying up, Jiang Li didn't forget Qiao Jinrun's instruction. She had breakfast at home and then rushed to the rehabilitation hospital.
Compared to the last time when she had made an appointment in advance, there was an obvious long queue in front of Qiao Jinrun's consulting room this time. All were patients who had registered for an expert consultation.
Seeing so many patients, Jiang Li really didn't have the nerve to cut in line. So she just queued up at the end of the line and from time to time flipped through her phone to kill time.
It wasn't until almost noon when Qiao Jinrun came out to go to the restroom that he noticed Jiang Li in the crowd.
She was wearing a thick cap, a loose light - yellow tracksuit, and a mask covering her face. She was very low - key.
But Qiao Jinrun still recognized her at a glance.
"Miss Jiang." He walked over and patted her on the shoulder. "Why didn't you call me when you came?"
Jiang Li blinked and smiled. "Everyone is queuing up. Of course, I have to follow the rules."
Qiao Jinrun couldn't help but laugh.
"You don't need to queue up." Qiao Jinrun grabbed her wrist and was about to walk into the consulting room, but the woman stood still on the spot.
Qiao Jinrun turned to look at her.
"I have no arrangements for the whole day today." Jiang Li said with a big smile. "Dr. Qiao, please see other patients first. It doesn't matter if I wait a bit longer."
She was really considerate of others.
Qiao Jinrun looked up at her. "Don't you feel bored waiting in line for so long?"
Jiang Li replied with a smile, "A bit."
Qiao Jinrun put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and said in a flat tone, "Then come and sit in my consulting room and wait."
His tone was very tough.
For some reason, although they were not much different in age, perhaps because of his occupation, Jiang Li always felt a sense of fear when facing Qiao Jinrun.
She obediently agreed and followed him into the consulting room, then sat down on the chair obediently.
She didn't feel how busy Qiao Jinrun was outside. But when she was really sitting not far from him and watching him patiently receive patients one by one, she couldn't help but sigh.
Doctors were really a great and busy profession.
From this angle, Jiang Li could see Qiao Jinrun's dedicated profile.
There was a pen between his fingers. As he wrote, the veins on the back of his hand bulged. His fingers also looked very slender.
They were perfect hands, very suitable for holding a scalpel.
Taking advantage of a gap, Jiang Li walked over, refilled Qiao Jinrun's cup with hot water, and then placed it beside his consulting desk where he could easily reach it.
After communicating with so many patients for a whole morning, he must be parched.
Qiao Jinrun glanced up at her and raised his eyebrows slightly.
It wasn't until lunch break that Qiao Jinrun hung up the sign of suspending consultations.
There was a slight look of fatigue on his handsome face. He casually took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose and rubbed the space between his eyebrows with his fingertips.
Jiang Li quickly poured him another cup of hot water and handed it to him.
"You've worked hard, Dr. Qiao."
Qiao Jinrun put down his hand, leaned back in his chair, his eyes falling on her face for a few seconds, and tidied up the cuffs of his white coat.
"Sit across from me."
Jiang Li immediately straightened her body and sat obediently across from Qiao Jinrun, like a child waiting to be called on to recite a text.
Seeing that she still looked as if facing a great enemy, Qiao Jinrun was a bit amused. "I'm treating your illness, not taking your life."
"Relax. I don't eat people."
Jiang Li also realized that her reaction was a bit over - the - top and couldn't help but laugh along. "I can't help it. Every time I see a doctor in this white coat, I get nervous."
Her most real appearance off - screen was a bit cute.
After hearing this, Qiao Jinrun looked at her for two seconds, then reached out to undo the buttons of his white coat. After taking it off, his light - blue sweater was revealed.
Now, it didn't seem as oppressive as before.
"Do you feel better now?"
Jiang Li nodded vigorously and said in a light and humorous tone, "Much better. You have a feeling of an elder brother next door."
"Okay, now let's talk about your physical condition."
...
Qiao Jinrun was indeed a well - known doctor. He was very dedicated. While holding her physical examination report, he talked about her physical condition one by one, almost in great detail.
Jiang Li was also aware of some of these problems.
She had been busy running around for the past four years, so it was normal to have some ailments. Her liver and other parts were relatively weak and needed good conditioning.
Especially her stomach. There were obvious signs of ulceration and lesion.
Qiao Jinrun directly told her that if she didn't take measures to condition herself well, gastric cancer would be inevitable sooner or later.
Hearing the words "gastric cancer", Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat, and her hands couldn't help but curl up.
"However, you don't need to be too stressed. As long as you take your medicine on time and pay attention to your diet usually so that it doesn't continue to deteriorate, there basically won't be any problems." Seeing her concerns, Qiao Jinrun softened his tone to comfort her.
"I've asked the nurse to prescribe the medicine for you in advance. It will be sent over later." After Qiao Jinrun finished speaking, he handed the examination report to Jiang Li.
"The examination report is a personal item. You should keep it well."
Jiang Li nodded gratefully.
Just then, the nurse knocked on the door and walked in carrying a big bag of medicine. "Dr. Qiao, this is the medicine you asked for. It's all here."
Qiao Jinrun lifted his chin and said in a calm tone, "Give it to this patient."
