Chapter 231: Chapter 232: Fight for Pride!

“`

The emergency room really does present a bizarre variety of diseases, and even Director Li Baoshan, who’s seen it all, can’t claim to be able to handle every type of patient.

Early in the morning, around six or seven o’clock, another small peak in patient arrivals began, with young people hurrying to work who had mostly bumped or scraped themselves in their haste.

Or those suffering from toothaches so excruciating they felt like hanging themselves.

Chen Cang had noticed something recently—his luck seemed abysmal. Whenever he worked night shift, the place was crowded, just like the last time he swapped a night shift with Wang Yong, and now his own night shift was swamped with people.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were fewer people?

If the country was at peace and households were happy and prosperous, he could sleep soundly himself, and maybe even play some King after getting off work the next day if he felt up to it.

After the rush, Chen Cang really couldn’t stay awake, so he decided to wash his face with cold water in the on-call room to freshen up.

No sooner had he stepped out than he saw Qin Yue swinging her arms and striding toward the changing room.

Chen Cang’s eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed Qin Yue, pulling her into the on-call room and swiftly shutting the door!

Then, with a fierce momentum, he pinned Qin Yue against the wall, placing his left hand next to her head, squinting his eyes to reveal a ferocious smile that looked just like love!

“Well, you had a good sleep last night, didn’t you?”

Seeing this, Qin Yue instead blushed and smiled shyly, “Mhm, pretty good.”

Chen Cang snorted coldly, “Tell me, what should we do now?”

Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang with wide, fluttering eyes, exuding a pitiful plea, “Things have come to this, you call the shots…”

Chen Cang was dumbfounded, did I grab the wrong script!

Qin Yue must think I don’t dare to do anything, right?

At that thought, Chen Cang chuckled lewdly, lifting his right index finger to gently raise Qin Yue’s chin and blew a breath of air toward her face, “Then I won’t hold back!”

He was curious to see how long this drama queen could hold out.

Qin Yue’s cheeks turned pink, and she quickly closed her eyes, fluttering her long eyelashes and even slightly raising her right calf…

Damn, she’s clearly enjoying this…!

By doing this, wouldn’t I be falling right into Qin Yue’s trap?

Should I just give up?

No way!

If I don’t show Qin Yue some color, she’ll never learn her place!

Chen Cang felt his heart pounding faster and faster!

He understood this was a battle of wits!

And a clash between the thick-skinned!

At this moment, there’s no right or wrong.

Only winners and losers!

Chen Cang felt his heart being shredded, he could already sense abnormal P waves on his heartbeat chart, a relentless increase in his sinus rhythm, with QRS complexes shortening in time and rising in frequency. Chen Cang knew all too well, this indicated his ventricular rate was accelerating…

But this was definitely not love! Definitely not…

It was just nerves.

Chen Cang could already feel the sweet breath from Qin Yue’s nose.

That scent was familiar: contempt, disdain, mockery.

If he had to put it into words, it would be:

“Come on then!”

His understanding of that phrase had almost reached that of its creator.

Isn’t that exactly what he’s doing right now?

Chen Cang gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and roared inside: Let’s do this!

No more tolerance!

With a steely resolve in his heart,

If he didn’t succeed, he would perish trying!

Just as Chen Cang was about to kiss her with a clenched jaw.

Suddenly… the door creaked open.

Director Li Baoshan entered, and was met with this scene.

The atmosphere instantly turned eerie!

Clearing his throat Li Baoshan muttered to himself, “Huh? Where did I put my keys?”

“`

While speaking, he stared at the ceiling, not daring to lower his gaze, talking and thinking at the same time, frowning, and his hands were still fumbling in his pockets, as if he were truly searching for his keys.

But you’ve already opened the door, what do you need keys for!

Can’t you put a little heart into your lies?

After finishing his words, Li Baoshan sighed again, “Hmm, it should be in the office! I’ll go check, it’s only 7:40 now… Hmm, there’s still 20 minutes before the shift change, I should have enough time! I’ll go get some breakfast.”

After muttering to himself for a while, Li Baoshan closed the door and turned to leave.

Chen Cang really wanted to go up and ask the chief what he meant by “there’s still 20 minutes before the shift change.”

What did he mean by “I should have enough time”?

Who is he looking down on!

Just as Chen Cang was about to prepare himself, suddenly Qin Yue had already slipped away, saying lightly, “Ah!… Loneliness…”

After finishing speaking, she shook her head and slouched, while shaking her right index finger back and forth, heading toward the women’s changing room.

Chen Cang clenched his fists, and if he had nails, they would definitely have pierced into his flesh, leaving him just short of bleeding!

Standing there with gritted teeth, his eyes full of anger!

Qin bootlicker, you’re absolutely heartless and vile!

Never bully the young and vulnerable!

“Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west; don’t mess with me!”

Just you wait, dad!

Someday, I will make you kneel and sing “Conquer”!

And besides, I will write the lyrics myself!

Thinking about it, Chen Cang felt humiliated by Qin Yue,

Not just humiliated… it was an insult…

No, it was degradation…

And not just that, it was a combination of degradation, insult, and disgrace…

All of it!

Thinking about this, Chen Cang felt that this grudge had grown too big.

He must take revenge!

As eight o’clock approached, Chen Cang straightened his clothes and walked toward the doctor’s office.

Chen Cang, who had been feeling quite sleepy, suddenly felt a surge of strength throughout his body.

He had to work hard, to take down Qin the antagonist!

At that moment, Li Baoshan slowly walked in, looking at everyone, “Let’s start the shift change.”

When Chen Cang saw Li Baoshan entering, he always felt a bit uncomfortable, why was there a kind of… blushing feeling.

He turned around and sneaked a peek at Qin Yue, only to find her seemingly without any reaction, calm and composed!

…This woman… she’s too cruel!

Chen Cang hesitated, wondering if setting up such a formidable enemy was really a good idea?

Maybe he could take the initiative to admit his mistake?

Invite her out for a meal, sign a peace treaty?

At that thought, Chen Cang seemed to forget all his humiliation; after all, the enemy was too strong, truly a heartless and vile character!

Forget it, forget it…

After the shift ended and he left the emergency department, Chen Cang thought it over and decided to just go back to sleep. Even a hard man, forged in iron, couldn’t withstand working emergency nights back to back.

But for some reason, Li Baoshan suddenly called out to Chen Cang, “Chen?”

Chen Cang nodded, “Hmm, Director, you called me.”

Li Baoshan hesitated a moment, “This… have a good rest!”

Chen Cang: …

Who are you looking down on now!

PS: The cases in the last two chapters I wrote last night were so scary even I was afraid. To create that atmosphere, I even deliberately listened to some ghost stories, but it turned out no one read them…

Disappointed…

Forget it, I won’t write horror anymore. Haha…

Actually, it wasn’t a ghost story, but rather a special medical case with scientific backing, those interested can go check it out.
