The next day, Zhang Lisheng saw George coming to him on his bike just when he parked his car by the road.
After both of them greeted each other, George began to taunt Zhang Lisheng mercilessly and announced cruelly that his plan to find a prom date for Zhang Lisheng had gone down the drain.
"It couldn't be more coincidental that I met Lina and Hannah.
In the end, you actually stood her up on your date.
Of course, to me, Hilton's lobster dinner is great, it's enough to show your apology but to the ladies, you're too … "
"Alright George, I'm not interested in going to the prom at all. I can get myself a date if I must."
"Get yourself a date!
Oh, Lisheng, it seems like you still don't get it … "
"You're the one who doesn't get it. I heard from Randy last night that you can bring any girls from other schools to the prom.
I've earned 19,000 dollars on Saturday and Sunday, how is it possible that I can't even hire a lady? "Zhang Lisheng glanced at George and said as they sat on the open campus road.
George choked and was stunned for a long time. He cursed hard, "Sh * t, this is an ugly country that values money above everything else.
Zhang Lisheng, look at your naked capitalist face. Don't you think it's sad and shameful to exchange money for a lady's company? "
"Maybe, but it's sad and shameful to waste time," Zhang Lisheng left the depressed George behind and walked into the school building.
After three classes and two end-of-semester exams, it was already four in the afternoon. After school, he and his family brought their accessories and rushed to Queens Hospital to decorate the Christmas wards.
It was a crucial period for Michelle's limbs to recover. She must not move at all. Therefore, the family decided to spend Christmas Eve with her in the ward.
When they arrived at Queens Hospital, Lili and Sullo led the way while the kids carried bags of Christmas decorations on their shoulders and hands. They smiled and apologized as they shuttled through the crowded hospital.
Zhang Lisheng followed at the end of the line while carrying the Christmas lights. He saw a familiar silhouette far away when he arrived at Michelle's ward.
Both of them were slightly stunned when they looked at each other.
"Hello, Tina." Zhang Lisheng was the first to snap back to reality. He mouthed a silent greeting to the distance clearly and followed his family into the ward.
A single ward in a public hospital was not spacious. There was only an ice rink, a bedside table for patients, a foldable companion bed, and two wooden chairs.
Michelle, who was getting skinnier by the day to the point where her cheekbones were protruding, was lying on the bed. Her limbs were hung in the air by the broken steel wires at the four corners of the bed.
This way, the broken bones would not be dislocated due to the patient's random movements during the healing period, but it would also bring more pain to the patient.
When the family walked into the ward, there were already three beautiful girls visiting Michelle's bed. Lili greeted them immediately when she saw them, "Fina, Ashley, Dunn, you guys are here to visit Michelle again. You guys are so nice."
"Aunt Lili, we're Michelle's best friends. Of course, we should visit her often." The girls hugged Lili, then Ashley, who was the tallest and slender girl with shoulder-length hair and delicate features, said.
The ward seemed a little crowded when there were ten of them at once. Lili nodded and folded the companion bed by the wall. She then stacked the chairs on top of it. "The doctor said Michelle's wound is healing now.
She should be able to move soon. Perhaps you guys can go shopping together soon. "
"That's great," The three girls cheered at the same time.
Unlike her friends who were pretending to be excited, Michelle who was lying on the bed said expressionlessly, "Don't comfort me, Aunt Lili.
I know I might have to stay in bed for the rest of my life. "
The air in the ward froze because of this sentence. Even the expression on Randy's face, who had been whispering to Fina with a cheeky smile the moment he entered the ward, froze.
"I won't, baby," Lili walked to Michelle and said with difficulty while caressing her face.
"Even if I can get off the bed, I can only walk with a limp. I might as well stay in bed for the rest of my life," Michelle said while her eyes were red.
The family and friends in the ward began to comfort the injured girl one after another. Even Zhang Lisheng who rarely took the initiative to speak when he visited Michelle said among the crowd, "Don't worry Michelle, I'll treat you with a medicated diet when your wound is healed and your bone marrow starts to grow again.
I guarantee there won't be any disability in your legs. "
Michelle seemed to be very sensitive to what Zhang Lisheng said. She glanced at Zhang Lisheng's face with a complicated expression and nodded lightly after hearing what he said.
Ever since Zhang Lisheng saved her from Dr. Fracture that night, she had been looking at the young man a little weirdly.
Everyone secretly felt relieved seeing Michelle relaxed a little. At that moment, someone knocked on the ward door softly all of a sudden. Subsequently, a girl in a red dress wearing high boots walked in.
All of the kids in the ward, apart from Zhang Lisheng, were stunned when they saw the girl. They exclaimed almost at the same time, "Tina Douglin …"
"Hi everyone, nice to meet you.
Hi Ms. Lili, nice to meet you again, Lisheng. "
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Tina," Lili recalled after seeing the girl's face and said with a smile while her eyes were red.
Zhang Lisheng who was standing aside asked, "Tina, are you here to visit the patient too?"
"Yes, Trish's mother had a heart attack around here in the afternoon. She was sent to Queens Hospital for emergency treatment. Sheila and I have been staying with Trish since we found out.
How about you? Are you here to visit the patient too? "
"My sister Michelle has been in the hospital for some time due to an accident."
"Oh." Tina nodded and looked at Michelle who was lying on the bed. She comforted her, "Ms. Michelle, relax. You'll get better very soon."
"Thank you." Michelle changed her depressed look and said politely in front of the public enemy of all the girls in Lowbige Junior High.
Tina nodded at Michelle again and said to Zhang Lisheng while looking at him, "Lisheng, my grandpa's a neurosurgery professor at Harvard Medical School. Just let me know if you need anything.
I'll go back to Trish first.
Bye everyone. "
"Tina, wait a minute. I'll go with you to say hi to Trish," Zhang Lisheng hesitated for a moment and turned his head to look at Lili, "Mom …"
"Oh, go baby. Leave the ward to us," Lili pushed Zhang Lisheng out of the ward as she spoke. Lili said as she pushed Zhang Lisheng out of the ward. She could not wait for her introverted and unsociable son to interact with girls more.
Looking at Tina and Zhang Lisheng disappearing from the ward, Randy seemed to have snapped back to his senses all of a sudden. He said blankly, "Is that Tina Douglin?
Oh my god, the person who was talking to Lisheng was Tina Douglin!
Not only that, he seemed to know Trish Steg too! Not only that, he seemed to know Trish Steg too!
No, this isn't real. Harry, pinch me. Pinch me. Pinch me now. I must be dreaming. "
Harry who was standing aside said with a smirk after hearing that, "My dear brother, are you sure?"
Although it sounded like a question, he had already raised his hand high and pinched Randy's face hard.
'Ahh …' came from the ward, it seemed to prove that Randy was not dreaming.
It was the truth. Not only was Zhang Lisheng familiar with Tina before, but they were going to rebuild their friendship now.
"How's your slaughterhouse?" Tina asked all of a sudden as they walked in the hospital corridor in silence.
"It's so good that it's unbelievable, especially these few days before Christmas."
"You must be in a good mood then. I'm so envious.
I've been having nightmares lately, nightmares about bugs eating people, "Tina said in her deep voice as if she was hinting at something.
"But the bugs in your dreams shouldn't hurt good people, let alone you, am I right?
Do you know, Tina? Bugs are actually the simplest and most direct animals in the world, just like bees. If you disturb them for no reason, they'll sting you even if it dies. If you treat them well, they'll make honey for you to eat. "
"You're right, Lisheng. I finally understand now. Bugs aren't scary at all, although they look a little disgusting," Tina could not help but say while smiling after hearing Zhang Lisheng's strange description, "But I've never thought there'd be a bee as big as you."
"That's a description, I'm not a bee that can make honey for you.
Oh yeah Tina, why did Trish's mom have a heart attack? "
"It's that damn Henrick …"
"Your boyfriend, Mr. Mound?"
"Lisheng, I've never admitted that idiot as my boyfriend. He could only say … say … say that he's my ex-boyfriend …"
Zhang Lisheng could not help but chuckle when he heard what Tina said.
"Stop laughing Lisheng," Tina said in annoyance, "That Mr. Mound is in big trouble now.
He could only lie to younger kids after I found out that he's a big talker. Trish's brother, Henry, is the victim.
He tricked Henry into leaving a note saying that he wanted to be a real man and went hiking through the Amazon jungle with him during winter break.
When Trish's parents found the note and contacted them right away, they found out that both of them had been missing in the jungle with their guide for a whole 24 hours. "
"Hiking through the Amazon jungle?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment and said out loud, "Is it Disney's Amazon?"
"Of course not, it's the real Amazon."
