Chapter 10: A Chance Encounter at the Hospital?
Chengjiang City Hospital.
"Young lady, take your form and go over there to queue up for registration first, then go to the ophthalmology clinic on the third floor."
"Doctor, doctor, who should I contact to remove the stitches?"
"Doctor, the medicine I bought from you yesterday isn't working!"
"Where did this dog come from? How can you bring a dog into a hospital? That's so rude."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
「···」
"Ask them one by one, don't argue or rush."
The information desk on the first floor of the hospital was crowded with people, and Cheng Ning almost dropped the form in her hand.
After apologizing to the people around her, she gently tugged at Duo Duo's sleeve: "Duo Duo, come on, let's go register."
When the older woman saw that Cheng Ning was blind, she just pursed her lips and said nothing more.
The hospital was crowded today, and the lobby was filled with chatter and noise.
In this environment, the guide dog's working condition will be greatly affected. In addition, the people queuing up blocked all the windows, so Duoduo could not distinguish directions for a while.
Cheng Ning called out several times, but it could only whimper softly.
In fact, not only Duoduo, but Cheng Ning herself was also greatly affected by this environment.
If it's not peak season, she has no problem registering for appointments and finding outpatients at the hospital, thanks to her hearing and the help of others.
But now, things are extremely difficult.
Standing there, at a loss.
With so many people around, it's not easy for the staff to notice her. Usually, blind people in hospitals are taken care of.
Despite the difficulties, Cheng Ning did not complain.
Because this is her daily life.
Sensing Duo Duo's nervousness and fear, Cheng Ning squatted down and gently stroked its head.
She gently comforted him, "It's alright, Duoduo. We'll just wait until there are fewer people before we go."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Waaaaah~~"
With the comfort of its owner, Duoduo's emotions finally calmed down.
"Woof~"
"Hey, Duoduo, where are you going?"
The dog suddenly got up and walked in one direction, and Cheng Ning was led by it for more than ten steps.
"Cheng Ning? What a coincidence!"
Hearing that familiar voice, Cheng Ning finally understood why Duo Duo had suddenly walked over to her.
"You... what brings you to the hospital?"
Lu Ran cleared his throat and said, "Um, well, my stomach hurts, so I came to check on you. I just came in."
The dog squatted in front of him, wagging its tail. Lu Ran understood that this meant he should help its owner.
After all, ever since Cheng Ning moved across the street from him, he has often been hanging around in front of her.
He also visits other dogs from time to time, so the dog considers him a familiar face.
Cheng Ning was taken aback: "Is...is that so!"
Lu Ran smiled and said, "Give me your ID card, and I'll help you register."
"Come on, sit here for a while."
As Lu Ran spoke, he took Cheng Ning's arm and helped her sit down on a chair to the side.
Before Cheng Ning could answer a single word, she felt her ID card being taken from her hand.
Lu Ran took Cheng Ning's ID card and quickly went to the registration window to queue up.
The line was a bit long, so he took out his phone and watched videos while waiting in line.
He would glance back at Cheng Ning every minute or two, then calmly watch a few videos, and then glance back again, repeating this process.
Just as he was about to reach his turn, Lu Ran suddenly saw an older woman cutting in line ahead of him.
And it just so happens that she talked about Cheng Ning's aunt not long ago.
How could he let this opportunity slip by? He immediately pointed at the other person and shouted, "Hey, you in front! So many people are queuing and you're cutting in line! How rude! What kind of upbringing did your family give you?"
When it comes to people cutting in line, those who honestly wait in line usually want to say something but are too embarrassed to do so, while those who are shameless and cut in line feel perfectly justified.
It's rare for someone like Lu Ran to announce their crimes so openly, like through a loudspeaker.
Seeing everyone staring at her, the woman blushed with embarrassment, but still stubbornly said, "This is my friend. We know each other, so what's wrong with helping each other out? What's it to you?"
"I don't care if you know each other or not, cutting in line is rude and unacceptable. Everyone's been waiting in line for ages, what right do you have?"
"Hey everyone, come quick! There's a really rude person cutting in line here."
Lu Ran clapped his hands and shouted loudly, which quieted down the noisy hall and drew everyone's attention.
The woman's friend couldn't take it anymore and nudged her, saying awkwardly, "You should go and join the queue."
The older woman pursed her lips, then had no choice but to obediently join the queue at the back with a dark expression.
"it is good."
Someone shouted "Bravo!" accompanied by applause.
Then came a series of cheers and applause.
Lu Ran smiled and waved to everyone.
"Thank you everyone. I just can't stand people like this. They always talk about manners, but they don't realize that they are the most immoral ones."
Even though the older women were obediently queuing up, Lu Ran still chased after them relentlessly.
She was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth and lie on the ground to extort money from him.
A few minutes later.
Lu Ran used Cheng Ning's ID card to register her for an ophthalmology appointment, then took the form and returned to Cheng Ning's side.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the ophthalmology clinic on the third floor first."
Cheng Ning pursed her lips: "And what about you?"
Lu Ranqian laughed and said, "Yeah, I suddenly feel less pain. I'll just go to the pharmacy later and buy some medicine to take."
Cheng Ning only has a vision problem; the shape of her eyes is no different from that of a normal person.
Hearing Lu Ran say that, her eyelashes fluttered, and she smiled faintly, "Okay."
"Let's go then. Hold onto my clothes, and I'll help you up. There are too many people here; it'll be difficult for you to walk by yourself."
As Lu Ran spoke, he turned his back to Cheng Ning.
Cheng Ning hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised her hand and grabbed his clothes.
The two people and the dog barely spoke a word the whole way.
It wasn't until they reached the ophthalmology clinic on the third floor that Lu Ran said, "There are quite a lot of people here. I'll go get your number and put you in line first. You can sit down and rest for a while."
Cheng Ning nodded: "Okay."
"You must be thirsty. I'll go buy you a bottle of water."
Lu Ran noticed that Cheng Ning swallowed several times, and knew that she must be thirsty.
Cheng Ning nodded again: "Okay."
After Lu Ran went to buy water, Cheng Ning stroked Duo Duo's head and whispered, "Duo Duo, you trust him a lot, don't you?"
Duoduo usually doesn't ask for help on her own initiative.
Besides Xiaoyan, Luran was the second person Duoduo actively sought help from.
Duo Duo: "Waaah~~"
A few minutes later, Lu Ran jogged back with two bottles of mineral water.
He unscrewed the bottle cap and handed the water to Cheng Ning.
After thanking her, Cheng Ning took the drink and sipped it.
Compared to Wenjing, Lu Ran was much more rude, finishing the mineral water in just a few big gulps.
"Number 3, Cheng Ning, please come to the ophthalmology clinic for a consultation."
"It's our turn, let's go."
Upon hearing the broadcast, Lu Ran grabbed Cheng Ning's wrist and led her into the clinic.
The doctor was a middle-aged man. When he saw the two of them, he first looked at Cheng Ning, and then looked at Lu Ran with a smile.
"Young lady, at least you're not alone this time. I told you before, it would be much better for you to find a boyfriend sooner rather than later."
Cheng Ning blushed and pulled her hand back: "Dr. Zhou, you've misunderstood."
The doctor smiled and said, "No need to explain. Here, young man, give me her form and help her sit down."
