I am not Ximen Qing.

Chapter 192 Patient

Song Yu lay in his hospital bed, just like his beloved Golden Left Foot. His Golden Left Foot was broken in a fight with a company employee. Song Yu was somewhat out of place with the football culture at Foshou Company. Football was indeed a high-risk sport, and more importantly, his wife was about to give birth. He was filled with remorse. Why did he have to play football? He was on the verge of a breakdown, his mind filled with thoughts of apologizing to his wife and the unborn child!

First match

Zhang Sheng: "Why are you doing this? Why are you abusing your feet like this? What about your legs?"

Song Yu cried out, "What should I do? What should I do? I've let down my wife, I've let down my children, I've let down my family!"

Guo Jia: "Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng, sit down, please sit down."

Guo Jia casually took the fruit basket that Zhang Sheng had just bought at Lotus Supermarket.

Song Yu said, "I have truly committed a grave crime. Thank goodness Guo Jia is here; it has been three days and three nights, and I haven't even had a bath."

The real estate agent asked, "Honey, what are you thinking about?"

Husband: "Instant noodles would be best, it really hurts!"

The real estate agent said, "The insurance company people might be here in a bit. That driver isn't even answering his phone. People these days have no humanity at all."

The husband said, "Ignore him. Isn't there an insurance company? These days, after a car accident, contacting the insurance company is practically the unspoken rule."

The real estate agent said, "There's no humanity left in this world. I understand; he's afraid of being scammed."

The husband said, "What are you lying to him about? He hit me! He hit me! But he's completely denying everything and just wants to use insurance."

The real estate agent said, "But the insurance company's claims adjuster still hasn't come."

The husband said, "What's the rush? He won't come until the final medical bills are settled."

The real estate agent said, "Is this also an unspoken rule? Honey, I'm going to buy some instant noodles, sir..."

Zhang Sheng said, "Go ahead, if he needs to use the restroom, I'll help him." The real estate agent left with a smile.

Song Yu exclaimed, "I'm speechless, I'm too ashamed to face anyone!"

Zhang Sheng: "You didn't do anything wrong, so why are you so ashamed to face anyone?"

Song Yu: "Why did I have to kick this damn football? I'll kick you to death! My wife was so worried she almost transferred me from Chaoyang Hospital here!"

Zhang Sheng: "Just because you broke your leg playing soccer, do you feel sorry for your wife and family?"

Guo Jia said, "I still have children, and I'm worried I won't be able to be with my wife during childbirth."

Song Yu: "I already informed my mother. My mother-in-law is currently taking a walk with my wife in Olympic Park, and my father-in-law has booked plane tickets for Beijing tomorrow."

Zhang Sheng: "Where's your dad?"

Song Yu said, "I'll rest at the hotel for a while and then come over."

Zhang Sheng said, "Look how great it is! Everyone's reunited. You've turned misfortune into blessing, buddy!"

Song Yu said, "I'm sorry to my wife. She's more optimistic than me, always comforting me, saying 'It's okay, it's okay.'"

Zhang Sheng: "My wife is so understanding and virtuous! She even came all the way here to see you."

Song Yu "only comforted me on the phone, insisting on transferring to this hospital to give birth,"

Zhang Sheng: "Dude, why didn't you call me?"

Song Yu: "Didn't I already give it to you?"

Zhang Sheng: "Why didn't you call me when you were injured? How serious was it? I'm thinking of Josephine, do you remember?"

Song Yu asked, "Who is Josephine?"

Zhang Sheng said, "I've read Catch-22 countless times. You're exactly like them. The wounded American soldiers were much worse off than you; they were covered in donkey-hide gelatin. I'm sorry, it's..."

Guo Jia: "Brother, it's not donkey-hide gelatin. It's lime putty."

Song Yu said, "You, you mustn't let people laugh at you, it's plaster."

Zhang Sheng: "Your face is as white as plaster."

Song Yu exclaimed, "How could I not be pale? I lost so much blood. It's all thanks to Yang Wanli and Meng Liang; they got me to the hospital together and waited until I finished my surgery!"

Zhang Sheng: "He's a real liar."

Song Yu's "Who is the Liar?"

Zhang Sheng: "Meng Liang, I asked him about your injury."

What did Song Yu say?

Zhang Sheng: "He said Guo Jia was quite light. See, I guessed right, didn't I?"

Song Yu said, "You must never think of yourself as Mr. Sherlock Holmes."

Zhang Sheng: "I've always wanted to be Watson so I could perform surgery on you."

Guo Jia: "Brother, did you guess it?"

Zhang Sheng: "It must be a fracture and a torn tendon, right?"

Guo Jia exclaimed, "Brother, you're a true god!"

Song Yu said, "I want the smaller one."

Guo Jia handed him a chamber pot.

Zhang Sheng: "What is the purpose of life?"

Guo Jia said, "Brother, can we please stop upsetting Song who's already upset?"

Song Yu said, "I'm sorry to my wife and children."

Zhang Sheng said, "Stop, sir. You've wronged everyone, but right now you're wronging your own flesh and blood. Your mother and father must be heartbroken!"

Second match

Song Yu's father came in and went straight to his bedside.

"Son, I'm so worried about you! I haven't slept a wink all night. When will you grow up? Don't worry your old man, okay?"

Song Yu said, "Dad, could you take this big fruit basket home for her to eat later?"

Zhang Sheng: "Hello, Uncle."

Song Yu: "Dad, he's my good brother Zhang Sheng!"

"Dad, have you eaten yet?"

Zhang Sheng has already eaten.

Song Yu said, "I just ordered takeout. You and Guo Jia can eat together. Guo Jia, go home and rest today. You haven't even taken a shower in days. Ouch, that really hurts."

"Son, I see he's much better than a few days ago. Son, you can't keep doing this. After you get married, I haven't even had a chance to settle down on the mountain before I have to come down again."

Song Yu: "Dad, have your stocks broken even?"

"Son, what are you talking about stocks for? I've played the stock market my whole life, and only now do I realize that everything is fate. What's destined to be yours will be yours no matter what, so don't worry about me." Song Yu replied, "Dad, that's not right. You can't accept fate."

Dad: "Has the doctor arrived yet?"

Song Yu said, "I'll come over to check in a bit; a piece of stainless steel is stuck right in the bone and flesh."

Dad: "Son, don't worry, it'll be removed again in a year."

Song Yu said, "I need a month's rest. The company's internet finance business is at a critical juncture, and I'm making myself feel like a useless person."

The father said, "Son, you might as well kill me!"

Zhang Sheng said, "Brother, you have to believe in miracles. Taoist priests from Laoshan can walk through walls and use incantations. There's no problem with that. Don't worry, and don't repent anymore. Don't keep nagging and repenting. This isn't the person you used to be. What's wrong with you?"

Doctor A: "Lift your legs up, yes, just like that for a few laps."

The real estate agent asked, "Doctor, isn't it serious?"

Doctor A: "The force was just right. He only has a fracture. Does it hurt when you apply a little force?"

The husband said, "It hurts even when I don't exert myself."

Doctor A: "Yes, it's normal for it to hurt. Applying an ice pack can reduce the pain."

The real estate agent said, "Thank you, doctor."

The nurse entered Song Yu's bedside.

Nurse A: "Perfect timing, you can give him an IV drip."

Song Yu "needs to get a few more IV drips,"

Nurse B: "Three IV drips: pain relief, anti-inflammatories, and nutrition."

Song Yu said, "There are so many, it would be best to use another arm, okay? Look, they're all needle marks."

Nurse B: "No problem."

Song Yu: "Hey, is it done yet?"

Zhang Sheng said, "It's okay. Like in Catch-22, with your whole body in a cast, you won't feel the pain. You can practice your skills. Brother, just bear with it."

Nurse A: "Sorry, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it."

Song Yu asked, "Why are you two different?"

Zhang Sheng said, "Being a guinea pig once won't kill you; it's serving the people." The nurse blushed and walked out of the ward. "You're clearly a newbie, bro. She's using you as practice, you know?"

"Doctor, doctor, you've finally arrived! Is my son's leg alright?"

The doctor said, "Mr. Song, you're really something. You have the most friends in the whole ward. Has your wife been transferred to another hospital?"

Song Yu said, "I want to, but I can't get promoted. It's driving me crazy!"

The doctor said, "Sir, you're fine, your recovery is going quite well."

"Son, be careful. Don't let anything else happen. My leg!"

The doctor said, "The old man really loves his son. Mr. Song has a good constitution, so we used the best materials, and the surgery went very smoothly."

Song Yu: "When will the doctor be discharged? I'm so worried!"

The doctor said, "Mr. Song, don't worry, it won't interfere with your time with your wife giving birth."

After the doctor finished the examination, he left the ward.

Song Yu exclaimed, “Look what I’ve done! Old Cao came to see me yesterday and said, ‘Song Yu, why are you like this? Why didn’t you go to the film festival with me? They all came and wanted to keep me company, but I still caused them so much trouble. It’s all so pointless. My heart is breaking! Will my wife forgive me? She’s about to give birth. What have I done?!’”

Zhang Sheng said, "Brother, you'll understand when your son is born."

Song Yu said, "What do you understand? I don't understand anything. I'm practically a useless person. Look, my muscles have atrophied, and I have no strength left in my body."

"Son, can you be a little more careful? Don't break my leg again, okay? How old are you? Why are you still so clumsy? When will you ever learn to be more careful? As your father, you should really reflect on this. Your leg and my stocks happened at the same time. Who among you doesn't believe in fate? Whatever is destined to happen, happens. Anyway, I truly believe everything is fate!"

Song Yu said, "Dad, let's not talk about fate now. After we finish eating, take this fruit basket home. Let her eat it and get some nutrition. Take all of these things away; they're piled up like a mountain."

Dad: "By the way, son, I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow."

Song Yu: "Have you bought all the train tickets?"

Dad said, "I've bought it all, since your mom's coming anyway."

Song Yu said, "My dad gave me this ID card. I'll take it back to my mom so she can apply for a birth permit."

Dad: "Okay, I was just about to talk to your mom too."

Song Yu: "Dad, is it possible for you and Mom to remarry?" Dad: "Son, your mother and I have been divorced for over ten years. We're still family. Don't mess around; it's a risky business."

Song Yu: "I'm confused, you and Auntie aren't divorced yet."

The father said, "We're divorced. Son, women are all too realistic, too pragmatic."

Song Yu: "Dad, I'm so sad for you."

Dad said, "Don't be sad. Your legs are like mine. Don't ruin them. If you do, you'll have done right by your old man."

Song Yu: "Guo Jia, Zhang Sheng, Dad, you three, eat your food." The deliveryman brought the food into the ward.

Zhang Sheng: "Brothers, you guys eat, I've already eaten."

Song Yu: "How could that be?"

Zhang Sheng: "Costa salad, chicken sandwich, and an iced coffee."

Song Yu: "Is the work finished?"

Zhang Sheng: "What to do with over 80 words? The more I revised, the more it seemed to grow."

Song Yu said, "It was really my fault for being so talkative."

Zhang Sheng: "What does this have to do with you? All these years of writing have kept me from falling into depravity; it has revived me."

Song Yu said, "What else can you do but fall into depravity? This world is so cruel; look how it has tormented you. Never let yourself fall into it."

Zhang Sheng: "I won't get caught up in it, so why do I keep writing about women?"

Song Yu: "That's what I'm worried about too. Are they still haunting you like ghosts?"
