Beijing-Hong Kong Affair

Chapter 7 Dilemma
Lin Xian was admitted to the clinical medicine major of Peking University based on her own strength.

She studied for eight years in a bachelor's, master's and doctoral program. She received a first-class scholarship every year due to her top GPA and project experience, which was enough to support part of her living expenses.

This year should have been her fifth year of undergraduate studies, but she applied to come to HKU for an internship and exchange specifically for Chen Ji.

The school is free of tuition and accommodation fees, but students need to take care of their own living expenses.

If the scholarship was cancelled, it would mean she would have no money for living expenses.

Before Lin Xian received a reply from Jian Shiya, the screen of her phone went black and the battery was completely dead.

She didn't even know what was going on and why her scholarship was suddenly revoked before it was reviewed.

Lin Xian stood on the busy street and felt that the scenery around her began to become strange and blurry.

Where should she go?

She didn't want to waste the exchange student opportunity she had finally applied for.

The rapid beeping sound from the traffic light brought Lin Xian back to reality.

She crossed the traffic lights like a zombie and walked aimlessly along the narrow streets.

Hong Kong City was not as good as she thought.

She is afraid of crowds and strangers, a typical I person.

But reality will not wait for her to slowly adapt, it is like an invisible hand is pushing her forward.

Lin Xian stopped at the door of the convenience store and went in to buy a bottle of mineral water.

She didn't feel hungry and had no appetite. Even drinking water was a purely mechanical action.

He raised his head, swallowed, and looked out the window again.

The reinforced concrete buildings and the bizarre neon lights were like giant beasts looming over her, making her breath suffocate.

There was less than 200 Hong Kong dollars left in my wallet.

Walking out of the convenience store, Lin Xian accidentally saw the words "Ren Ai Hospital" written on the bus stop sign.

This was the hospital that Jiang Yunian took her to in the afternoon. An idea flashed through her mind.

That hospital is luxuriously decorated. Can I spend the night on the sofa?

This way you don't have to spend any money.

She couldn't afford to waste a penny.

While waiting for the bus, Lin Xian felt a little nervous. Although she grew up in an orphanage, she had never done anything like this.

When the bus stopped at the station, Lin Xian took the initiative and got on the bus.

Having taken the wrong bus in the afternoon, Lin Xian asked the bus driver before inserting the coin.

The hospital is in the New Territories, not too far from Tsim Sha Tsui. It was just over half an hour’s drive and it passed in a flash.

Facts have proved that when people are forced into desperate situations, they can always find a way out.

Lin Xian had already convinced herself in the car. After entering the hospital, she hurried to the emergency room without waiting for the nurse on duty at the reception desk to ask her questions.

Lin Xian finally found a secluded location where if there were not many people coming to the emergency room at night, it would not affect her sleep.

After making up her mind, Lin Xian went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, and saw herself in the mirror. Her pale face was bloodless and full of bitterness and hatred.

She doesn't like looking in the mirror.

Even if people told her she was beautiful, she didn't feel anything.

Because she will always remember that when she was a teenager, Chen Ji teased her and called her a little black monkey.

The little black monkey became her shadow for several years.

She tried a lot to avoid getting tanned, but what happened in the end?

It just changed from a small black monkey to a big white monkey.

Lin Xian is very thin, curled up in the corner of the U-shaped sofa, and you can't tell unless you look closely.

In this secluded corner, she slept very uneasily, and in her dreams she kept stepping on empty space and couldn't reach the bottom.

Infinite falling.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when Jiang Yunian returned to the hospital.

A hospitalized patient had an emergency, and he, as the attending physician, had to rush back to check on him.

After confirming that the patient was not seriously injured, Jiang Yunian planned to go home directly, but at this time he received a call from a colleague.

"I heard you're back? Come to the emergency department and talk to me. It's really boring to work the night shift alone."

"If you're bored, go to sleep."

"Oh, the night is long, how can I sleep? Damn it!" Jiang Yunian frowned and wanted to hang up the phone when he heard the unfriendly words coming from the receiver.

Then Shen Mengnan lowered his voice and said, "Come to the emergency department quickly. There is a beautiful lady sleeping on the sofa. She is so pretty."

Shen Mengnan was Jiang Yunian's classmate when he studied abroad. When he returned to Hong Kong to work at the Ren Ai Hospital, Shen Mengnan followed him.

Shen Mengnan is from the mainland, but in this hospital, no one discriminates against him because of his birthplace. It all depends on his professional qualities.

Jiang Yunian was not interested in the beauty and just replied coldly: "I want to go home and catch up on my sleep."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

While waiting for the elevator, Lin Xian's face suddenly flashed through my mind.

He laughed at himself, wondering why he suddenly thought of her.

Just an insignificant passer-by.

Not long after Jiang Yunian got in the car, he received a WhatsApp message from Shen Mengnan.

[This is secretly taken, and will be burned after reading! ]

Jiang Yunian wanted to delete it directly, but accidentally clicked on the large picture.

When that familiar face came into view, Jiang Yunian's heart suddenly tightened.

How could she sleep in the hospital lobby?

It was very cold there, and she curled up like a homeless kitten.

Poor and helpless.

He immediately made a call, but Shen Mengnan refused to answer.

Generally, emergency doctors will only refuse to answer calls when they are busy.

Jiang Yunian was already on his way home, so he had to take a long detour and turn back.

It was at this time that Lin Xian was pushed awake by the nurse.

"Miss, I'm sorry you can't sleep here. Could you please go back to the ward?"

Lin Xian pursed her lips and said nothing. The nurse smiled sweetly: "Sorry, we have regulations. Here..."

"Well, I'll be leaving soon."

Lin Xian sniffed. She was sitting next to the air vent and the wind gave her a headache.

Carrying her schoolbag, Lin Xian went to the bathroom again.

The phone is fully charged.

After turning on the phone, she saw the message from Jian Shiya.

[It was that little bitch Qiao Zijin who did this! She reported you for having an affair with your tutor. Damn it, I'm going to beat that bitch to death when school starts!]

It’s Qiao Zijin again. What grudge does he have against me that he could deliberately approach her and become friends with her, and then secretly do something wrong.

It was too late, so Lin Xian didn't call Jian Shiya again.

She managed a few hours of sleep, which was enough.

It started raining heavily when I went out of the back door of the hospital.

This city is very busy. Even at three in the morning, there are people working hard for their lives.

Lin Xian knew that she couldn't go out at this time. It would be even more troublesome if she caught a cold in the rain, but she couldn't go back either.

Squatting under the eaves, she buried her head between her knees with a splitting headache.

It seemed like her life was always in a mess and the goddess of luck would never favor her.

When Jiang Yunian's car drove into the hospital parking lot, he saw the thin figure in the corridor at a glance.

After Jiang Yunian parked the car, he got out without even opening his umbrella and walked directly in front of Lin Xian.

Lin Xian is not a person who expresses her emotions openly. Today is the most unlucky day she has had in all these years, except for that incident.

The successive blows completely broke down her psychological defenses.

It’s always easy to feel sad on rainy days.

Have a cry, just cry while it’s raining.

"Lin Xian, are you okay?"

　Woohoo, Xianbao is so pitiful.

　　Waiting for my Xianbao to grow up to be an independent surgeon!
