Incurable Chapter 1 Part 1

The summer in June, the rainy season is coming.

Under the black sky, the dripping rain created a gloomy atmosphere, the raindrops rushed down, and soon, the dry ground became wet.

The car’s wheel skimmed over the wet pavement at high speed, splashing a string of droplets. They could hear the doctors’ and family members’ frantic cries in the emergency room.

Mu Wan was holding an umbrella and carrying a hot cone box. The heat from the congee emits through the paper box, dissipating the hospital’s gloomy air.

“I’m here. What floor are you on?” Mu Wan closed her umbrella and walked across the crowd towards the elevator.

On the phone, Lin Wei said the floor number and ward number. Mu Wan pressed the elevator button. It had just ascended to the 12th floor, and there was still some time to come down.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and traffic accidents are prone to occur on rainy days. Due to traffic accidents, many people get injured and covered with blood.

The cries of family members, the patient’s painful groaning, and the sounds of the treating medical staff mixed to make a lively and sad voice clear through the lobby.

Lin Wei was still talking about something. While Mu Wan answered her quietly, her eyes followed a patient into the noisy and busy ward nearby.

This ward was large, and the thick iron door was open. People were coming and going inside the room.

Mu Wan glanced a few times, and the depressing atmosphere inside made her slightly uncomfortable. She closed her eyes and prepared to continue waiting for the elevator. When she wants to take back her eyes, her eyes look in a different direction.

In the chaotic ward, two people stood in front of the hospital bed with bandages on their bodies. A boy, covered in blood, lies on the bedstead, with his face blue and lifeless.

A doctor and a nurse stood on the other side of the bed, but they did not treat the boy. The nurse looked down, and her eyes were a bit red. The male doctor beside her bends slightly and holds the boy’s hand, mixed with blood and mud.

The doctor’s appearance was striking, with high eyebrows, clear eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. He gave off a feeling like bamboo leaves washed away by rain, hidden in the dense bamboo forest, but the leaves were nonetheless vivid and delicate. He emitted a detached temperament as the separate shelter. Although he was in the epicenter of chaos, he was also like a remote mountain detached from the world of chaos, absolutely noble and solitary.

He held the boy’s hand, and the cuffs of his white coat, stained with a few drops of blood, gradually dried up. He didn’t care about that. His slender fingers wrapped around the boy’s hands, his eyes drooping, and his face was calm.

Just then, the depression eased slightly. Mu Yan’s eyelids blinked, and she remembered a memory from a few years back.

A passenger died suddenly in the waiting room of a train station a few years ago. A monk suddenly held the dead passenger and performed ceremonies for his soul to ascend.

There is no shortage of deaths in the hospital, but when the doctor releases the boy’s hand and puts the white cloth on the boy’s head, Mu Wan’s heart is slightly chilled. Then, both the men and women beside him cried out sadly.

At the same time, the doctor seemed to be aware of her presence and looked up.

His eyes were calm and deep, sweeping gently, like a bamboo forest wind sweeping through her heart. Mu Yan was a little stunned and retracted her gaze.

The elevator loudly made a “ding” sound and reached the first floor. Mu Wan raised her eyes and checked the words “Emergency Room” above the ward. She asked Lin Wei, “In your building, have an Emergency Room?”

“What emergency room? Which building are you in?”

“The one right in front of the hospital gate.”

“That’s the Emergency Building! I’m in the Inpatient Department!”

“…”

When she arrived at Lin Wei’s ward, Mu Wan put aside her umbrella and saw that Lin Wei had already spread out a small table for dinner. She cut her appendix two days ago and could only eat liquid food. When Mu Wan still had to be shot in other places. she complained that the taste of plain congee in the hospital was unsatisfactory. Mu Wan just returned to Xiacheng after filming. After putting down her luggage, she went to Xu Ji Congee Shop to buy her favorite congee and came to see her.

“How do you feel? Does it still hurt?” Mu Wan laid out bowls and chopsticks for Lin Wei and pulled a chair to sit down.

She had just returned from Wencheng, where there was no rain and still hot, so she only wore a black T and white shorts. When she sits down, her legs overlap, so her posture looks relaxed and lazy.

Mu Wan was an 18-line actress with a very delicate appearance. She has an oval face, a beautiful nose, red lips, and a small chin. Her dark and clear eyes were charming but not sultry. Her tall was 1.7 meters, with long legs and a slender waist. She has big breasts and buttocks, well-proportioned and slim but not too thin. All around, she has a perfect figure.

She had a wild look, with the gorgeousness of a Hong Kong actress in the 1980s. Her beautiful, elegant, and non-vulgar character displays her high level.

“As long as I don’t touch the wound, it doesn’t hurt.” Lin Wei was eating the congee, and her mouth was burning. After eating, she looked at Mu Wan, looking out the window. She didn’t know what Mu Wan was thinking right now.

“What are you thinking?” Lin Wei waved a spoon in front of Mu Wan’s eyes.

The rain outside the window became lighter, and the heavy raindrops on the edge rolled down, rolled over the glass window, and left a meandering watermark, like the doctors who go back and forth in the Emergency Room.

“When I was waiting for the elevator, I saw a doctor who seemed to be performing prayers on a dead boy.” Mu Wan looked back and told Lin Wei about the male doctor in the Emergency Room.

Doctors must save people. They want to help people live, but they also can help them when they die. These two words are related to each other. They were very conflicted together. However, Lin Wei was not surprised. Her eyes lit up as she asked Mu Wan, “Is Doctor Liu handsome?”

“You know him then. Indeed, he’s very handsome.” Mu Wan smiled and recalled the male doctor’s face at that time. His face was very gentle, making a deep impression, especially when he looked at her.

“His name is Liu Qianxiu, a surgeon, and he had nicknamed Liu Daochang. (TN: Dao Chang = Taoist Priest) He is the emotional support for the entire group of females in Tang’er Hospital.” Her colleagues sent Lin Wei to the Emergency Room a few days ago. It was Liu Qianxiu who diagnosed her.

It was so painful at that time. But after the operation, Lin Wei took the nurse’s hand and asked many questions.
