Chapter 954: He Didn’t Come Back (15)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qian Ming’s face twisted and he looked up in horror.
The woman had delicate features and was slim-built, and her smile was as bright as a summer flower.
It was a face… he would never forget!
OMG!
It was Su Xiaomo!
To him, that name was like a calling card from hell, reminding him of the utter terror that used to dominate his world!
Terrified, Qian Ming wrapped himself around He Jiayu’s leg. “Dr. He, my senior, help!”
He Jiayu cleared his throat. “Please get up and we can talk about it.”
“No! I’m not going anywhere unless you help me!”
“Shit! Don’t you have any shame? You’re the kind of patient I dislike the most, threatening your doctors and bullying the weak! You people are the ones who ruin doctor-patient relationships!” Su Xiaomo said indignantly. Grabbing at He Jiayu’s trousers, Qian Ming asked, “Dr. He, why is this devil here?”
He Jiayu said, “… She’s my other half.”
Other half? Which half? As in she was his wife?
Qian Ming was full of despair, memories of being ordered around by Su Xiaomo rushing back into his head.
He was doomed. Back then, she had single-handedly kicked him around. Was it going to turn into mixed doubles now?
“Please let me go,” pleaded Qian Ming in a pitiful voice.
He Jiayu helped him to his feet in resignation. “Momo meant not harm. She only thought that you were going to assault me.”
Qian Ming asked dumbly, “What? Dr. He, are you under her protection?”
Come to think of it, that was actually the case… He Jiayu nodded. “That’s right.”
All of a sudden, Qian Ming wasn’t afraid of him anymore and even patted his shoulder sympathetically. “I was wrong about you, Mr. He. I see that you’re also the slave in this relationship.”
Aww! He had actually married the fiend! How courageous!
Su Xiaomo rested her hands on her waist. “Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?!”
After looking at Qian Ming’s face more closely, a look of recognition flickered in her eyes. “Why, it’s you, Anpanman! You’re much better-looking now!”
Qian Ming forced a smile. “Am I… Hoho…”
“That’s right! You look like you’ve had plastic surgery! Where did you get your botox done?” Su Xiaomo asked enthusiastically.
Qian Ming roared, “I was ugly before because I was fat! I got handsome after I lost weight!”
Su Xiaomo glanced at him with an impassive face. “Why are you yelling at me?”
Qian Ming backed off right away, somehow feeling the urge to kneel at her feet.
“Ahem. You’re neither depressed nor have bipolar disorder. What you’re experiencing is probably the result of an overactive sex life… So, take it easy in that respect, or… maybe don’t touch yourself as often.” He Jiayu patted him on the shoulder.
Utterly abashed, Qian Ming promptly left without daring to look at Su Xiaomo again.
After he was gone, He Jiayu sat Su Xiaomo down on his lap, smiling mildly. “You know him?”
“We were middle school classmates…” Su Xiaomo scratched her head, feeling a little bashful.
She would rather leave the less honorable legends of her in the past…
Poking He Jiayu’s cheek, she said, “You’ve lost weight again.”
“Have I? The food here at the hospital is awful.” He Jiayu didn’t think much of it. “Where’s Cuddlie?”
“She’s with the nanny. I’m meeting a friend in the neighborhood and thought I should drop by.” Su Xiaomo chuckled. “I’m off, then. Work hard and don’t come home too late! You still have to warm my bed~”
He Jiayu smiled. “No problem.”
It was pleasantly sunny that day and He Jiayu’s smile looked warm enough to melt ice.
However, He Jiayu never came home that night.
There was a major influenza outbreak, and the first patient was sent to the hospital He Jiayu was at.
That night, all the medical staff who had been involved in treating the patient were quarantined.

Su Xiaomo was holding Cuddlie when she got the phone call. All the color immediately drained from her face.
Her face felt ticklish when she put down the phone. Touching her cheeks, she realized that they were streaked with tears.
The news soon got out and the entire city panicked.
Su Xiaomo sat on the sofa in a state of stupor as she refreshed her WeChat repeatedly. Usually, He Jiayu would send her a message no matter how late he had to work or how many surgeries he had to perform.
But today, there was nothing.
To calm down, she checked her social media account and saw one of her friend’s post: All the medical staff that made contact with the patient should die with the patient. It would stop the flu spread all at once. Gimme a thumbs up if you agree with me.
Su Xiaomo burst into tears right away. She left a “f**k you” in the comments section and removed the person from her friends list.
Cuddlie could utter a few simple words now and she said in her baby voice, “Mama… no, no cry… kiss…”
She pursed her lips and kissed Su Xiaomo on the cheek.
The doorbell rang and Su Xiaomo dragged her exhausted body off the sofa to answer it. An Xiaxia had a panicked look in her eyes when the door opened.
“Momo!”
Tears welled up in An Xiaxia’s eyes when she saw Su Xiaomo cry.
“Don’t worry… It’s not like it’s SARS or bird flu. It’s probably just a minor influenza outbreak, and everything will be fine once they find the vaccine.” An Xiaxia walked in, too flustered to even take her shoes off. She started consoling Su Xiaomo right away.
Su Xiaomo tried her best to squeeze out a smile, which looked worse than a grimace.
An Xiaxia sat her down on the sofa, then made some milk for Cuddlie and ordered some takeaway for Su Xiaomo, making her eat it when it was delivered.
Cuddlie was a lamb. She fell asleep as soon as she was fed.
An Xiaxia took out two blankets, turned the TV on, and said in a tone as cheerful as she could manage, “Shall we watch some variety show? Or would you prefer a movie?”
Su Xiaomo clutched her blanket and wouldn’t utter a word.
An Xiaxia picked a movie and played it.
It was an old movie filled with zombies, hospital scenes, and shoot-outs…
However, the tone of the movie was rather grim. Whenever the characters narrowly escaped death and things seemed to look hopeful, they were confronted with even more difficulties. The despair never seemed to end.
“Ahem… Let’s watch something else.” An Xiaxia picked up the remote control, but Su Xiaomo murmured, “Let’s just watch this.”
“Alright.”

Su Xiaomo stared at the main character on the screen. He was a handsome doctor and an expert at his job. His smile was unbelievably gentle.
Just like He Jiayu.
He Jiayu looked just as attractive with a scalpel in his hand. He was equally attentive to all his patients and in his operations.
However… as a doctor, even if he could save all the patients in the world, he still couldn’t save himself.
An Xiaxia felt a throbbing pain in her chest when she saw the tears roll down Su Xiaomo’s cheeks.
She rarely saw Su Xiaomo cry. Back in middle school when she messed around with the boys, she would still laugh and tell dirty jokes even when her head was cracked open.
She had always thought that Su Xiaomo was incapable of being fragile.
Wrapping her arms around her friend, An Xiaxia said, “It’s ok… I’m sure everything will turn out just fine. Momo, don’t cry…”

Her phone vibrated, which startled Su Xiaomo. She grabbed it in a hurry.
There was a red dot on the green WeChat icon.
“I… I can’t do it. Please check it for me…” Su Xiaomo stuffed the phone into An Xiaxia’s hands, and clenched her fists.
An Xiaxia tapped it open, and then was more excited than Su Xiaomo. “It’s from He Jiayu! He Jiayu sent you a message!”
