Chapter 1081: Chapter 1080: Running Into Each Other at the Hospital! We’re Not That Close
Sure, here is the translation:
Chen Ming froze, caught the pillow, then turned around and said helplessly, "No."
Under Zhou Su’s delicate exterior, he saw her domineering nature. Given his work and social circle, they would not get along well in the future. Giving up on Zhou Su doesn’t necessarily mean being with Song Jia, he also felt they were not suitable.
Chen Ming went downstairs to the front desk, booked a room on the 23rd floor as well. After a busy day, he was a bit tired, took a shower and fell asleep. He woke early the next day at seven.
He had a habit of morning runs, checked his phone but there were no calls from Zhou Su, so he dressed in a shirt, washed his face and went out. Unexpectedly, he met Song Jia in the elevator.
Today she was unusually dressed in a French princess-style blouse paired with a knee-length skirt, her waist looked exceptionally slender. What stood out was the pair of sneakers on her feet.
Song Jia glanced at him, his shirt had two buttons undone, which looked somewhat seductive.
Suddenly, Chen Ming remembered being at the hotel early in the morning, and also on the 23rd floor. She would probably misunderstand.
He thought about explaining but decided there was no need, so he just smiled faintly.
When they reached the first floor, the elevator dinged and stopped, then opened. Chen Ming moved aside, gesturing for Song Jia to go out first, but she didn’t move, instead took out a pair of sunglasses from her bag and put them on.
Chen Ming was waiting for her to go out, but for a long time she had no intention of moving, until he couldn’t help but ask, "Why not go out?"
"You go first." Song Jia opened her red lips lightly, with a touch of cold elegance and arrogance.
Chen Ming, helpless, didn’t think much and went out first. After he left, Song Jia supported herself against the elevator wall and walked out. After a few steps, she frowned...
She winced, it really hurt.
Originally, she was supposed to shoot during the day, but her foot wasn’t okay, she had to go to the hospital first.
The front desk clerk saw her and knew her identity, immediately approached, "Miss Song, did you get injured?"
Song Jia shook her head, "Just a little, it’s nothing."
The front desk clerk was still very attentive, "Do you need us to call an ambulance for you?"
Song Jia’s mouth twitched slightly, "Are people in Jiangcheng always this enthusiastic?"
A twisted ankle and call an ambulance?
The front desk clerk was extremely good-natured, looked around then secretly took out a piece of paper, "Miss Song, actually I’m your fan, could you sign this for me?"
Song Jia was a bit speechless, but still turned her body to sign, the front desk clerk’s eyes brightened, carefully stored it away, then said, "Don’t you have an assistant?"
Of course, Song Jia had one, but they were abroad, not having a suitable one in the country at the moment. Plus, her temper wasn’t great and she didn’t want to adjust to someone.
The front desk whispered again, "Need me to take leave and accompany you to the hospital?"
Song Jia was a bit surprised, looked up at her, "You..."
She added, "No need."
Then straightened her back and walked out, trying to make her foot look less serious. She didn’t like her fans getting too close to her private life, though she didn’t dislike this front desk clerk; in fact, she found it kind of cute.
She went out like this, until she opened the car door and got in, but when starting the car she realized her foot was inconvenient, couldn’t hit the gas pedal, she felt a bit frustrated, leaning on the steering wheel for a long time without moving, eventually taking out her phone, opened the app to call a taxi.
Sitting in the car, her foot was still aching, she frowned as she browsed her phone.
The driver saw she looked beautiful, tried to chat with her now and then, but Song Jia paid him little attention.
When she reached the hospital, she went to the orthopedics department alone, the doctor was pretty young, had a bright future look, made the nurse help her sit in the chair, gently said, "Raise that foot."
Song Jia bit her lip, slowly lifted her foot. The doctor initially intended to have the nurse help her remove the shoe, but then gave up and did it himself.
After removing the sneaker, the young doctor did a simple check, then said, "You should have an X-ray taken."
He raised his eyebrows saying, "I’ll have the nurse bring a wheelchair for you, best not to move until we confirm there’s no issue."
Song Jia nodded and said thank you.
The nurse quickly brought over the wheelchair, kindly helped Song Jia onto it, smilingly said, "Miss Song, can I push you over?"
Song Jia wanted to refuse, but the wheelchair was difficult for her to move on her own, so she had to trouble the little nurse.
The nurse pushed her to have the X-ray done, when she came back the consultation room had more people, a man and a woman. When Song Jia saw clearly, she felt uneasy because it wasn’t someone else, but Chen Ming and that preschool teacher, whose name she didn’t know.
Yet Chen Ming hadn’t seen Song Jia, was holding that girl gently, saying, "Zhou Su, do you feel better now?"
Song Jia watched silently, sneered, so her name is Zhou Su.
Zhou Su shook her head, "I’m fine, Chen Ming, you don’t need to blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you. I accidentally fell and hurt myself again."
Chen Ming spoke a few more words with the doctor, repeating again, "It’s just a sprain, right? Are you sure you don’t need an X-ray?"
The doctor confirmed it was, then laughed, "You care a lot about your girlfriend huh?"
Chen Ming didn’t deny it, mainly as there was no need to make Zhou Su uncomfortable in public, then he arranged for Zhou Su to sit aside while he went to get medicine, but upon turning saw Song Jia.
He had clearly seen her looking well this morning, but now she was sitting in a wheelchair, didn’t look good.
Chen Ming hesitated for a moment, instinctively asked, "What happened to you?"
Song Jia’s tone was extremely indifferent, "Nothing much! Chen Ming, my business doesn’t need your concern."
Doctor smiled, "Turns out you’re all acquaintances huh."
Then he looked at Song Jia, then at Chen Ming, seeming thoughtful.
The nurse pushed Song Jia over, "Dr. Lin, the X-ray is done, you can call the examination room."
Dr. Lin laughed, "I’ll check it on the computer."
He began to check, raised his eyes to Song Jia saying, "Just wait a moment."
Song Jia nodded slightly then went silent, had no expression on her face.
Chen Ming regained his composure, glanced at her shoes, "Why didn’t you say anything when you saw me in the elevator?"
"Am I familiar with you?"
Zhou Su carefully said, "Chen Ming just cares about you?"
Song Jia took off her sunglasses, slightly sarcastically raised her red lips, "Am I familiar with you?"
This made Zhou Su’s face change, but she held back without speaking.
The little nurse couldn’t help laughing, Miss Song’s presence was too strong, and this seemed like another love triangle story. But it was clear that the gentleman seemed to prefer Miss Song, his gaze was intense, easy to understand, if she were in his shoes she’d probably prefer Miss Song too, she was much prettier.
Yet Song Jia’s words made Chen Ming slightly displeased, "Don’t be so willful."
Song Jia put her sunglasses back on, raised her chin slightly as if looking at a fool, scanned him up and down but ignored him.
The doctor finished checking records, looked up seriously saying, "Miss Song, you have a minor fracture in your toe bone, though not too severe, we still advise you to rest for a month, or it may worsen."
Song Jia frowned, "Isn’t there any way? I need to shoot."
