Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Beginnings
Weina also reminisced about the events of last night.
She was wild, pinching him, grabbing him, and sitting on him for a long time.
It was as if a river, long dried up, had finally received a timely rain.
That rain flowed through the furrows of her heart, mending the spiderweb-like cracks.
“I’m, I’m sorry, I…” Bi Yuanhang apologized with guilt.
Last night, he held her and performed many moves he had learned from adult films.
...
He wasn’t a virgin, having had a girlfriend in college, so he was experienced with such matters.
Weina shook her head, “You don’t need to apologize, I’m also responsible for this, I shouldn’t have drunk that much.”
“Then I… maybe I should give you some money,” Bi Yuanhang proposed.
In that instant, Weina suddenly looked up and glared at him.
Her eyes were beautiful, and when she glared, they exuded an intimidating force.
“How much do you plan to give me?” asked Weina.
“You… whatever amount you say,” he replied.
“No need, after all, I also took advantage of you, it’s not always the woman who loses out in these situations,” Weina said, and then she got out of bed.
Taking his blanket with her.
Bi Yuanhang felt a chill, as he was left with nothing on.
But he didn’t dare to object.
Wrapped in the blanket, Weina exited his room and ran into Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui was shocked to see Weina wrapped in a blanket coming out of Bi Yuanhang’s room.
“Boss, you…”
Weina was momentarily embarrassed and asked, “What’s up?”
“Nothing, just that it’s time to open up the restaurant, I came to call you.”
“Alright, I’ll be there in a moment,” she replied calmly.
Xiao Cui’s mouth was still agape in an “O” shape.
What exactly happened last night?
…
Su Meixi didn’t sleep well last night.
The first half of the night, she watched the stars, and she fell asleep while doing so.
The latter half of the night, Gu Wei had a shift and dropped her off back home, and after that, she hardly slept.
Fortunately, there were no emergencies today; two patients came, one with a cough for whom she prescribed some medicine, and another with a foot injury that just needed disinfecting and simple wound care.
After treating the injury, Su Meixi glanced unintentionally at Bi Yuanhang.
These past few days, at the clinic, Bi Yuanhang’s gaze almost always followed her.
She didn’t need to look up to know he was watching her.
So, she always ignored him.
However, the current Bi Yuanhang was lost in thought.
Occasionally, he would sniff his fingers.
And sometimes he would smile.
Like a man in heat.
He wasn’t watching her anymore.
What was this situation?
Could it be that he had a romantic encounter?
Su Meixi didn’t like to pry into others’ private matters, so she didn’t pay him any attention.
At noon, she went to the small restaurant to eat.
“Boss, stir-fry some lamb liver,” Su Meixi called to Weina.
But Weina seemed not to hear her and was lost in thought.
Su Meixi called out again, and Weina came to her senses, returning to her usual enthusiasm: “Stir-fried lamb liver, sure, have a seat, do you want a drink?”
“A drink?”
“No… do you want a Sprite? You usually like Sprite, right?” Weina asked, her smile tinged with embarrassment.
“Oh, then I’ll have a bottle,” Su Meixi said.
At that time, Bi Yuanhang also arrived.
Bi Yuanhang, alone and lacking pots and bowls, could only eat at the restaurant.
Seeing him come in, Weina’s face immediately turned stern as if she hadn’t seen him.
Bi Yuanhang first sat down and then looked at the menu on the wall, which displayed the dishes and their prices.
After looking for a while, he only ordered a bowl of beef noodles.
Weina placed his order without saying a word, and Bi Yuanhang simply concentrated on eating his noodles.
While eating, Su Meixi glanced at Bi Yuanhang inadvertently and noticed he was stealing glances at Weina.
But as soon as Weina turned, he bowed his head and continued eating.
Su Meixi seemed to sense something brewing.
There was definitely something going on between those two!
Sure enough, it’s dangerous for a man and a woman to live together; trouble is bound to happen sooner or later, be it in the morning or at night.
Su Meixi had heard about the restaurant owner; she wasn’t from around here originally. After her husband had died, she had moved here, probably to be closer to his spirit. That’s why she had opened a restaurant, and it had been several years now.
Over those years, many men pursued her, but she did not want any of them. Her fiery personality, along with her good relations with the military personnel, meant that eventually, no one dared to bother her.
Everyone had come to accept that she wanted to remain a widow for life.
The Su Meixi of the past thought being alone was fine, but recently, immersed in a passionate romance, she felt that being in a couple was better.
Having someone care about whether you ate well, someone to look after your emotions, someone to solve your worries promptly—wasn’t that better than being alone?
So, Su Meixi genuinely hoped that Weina could find a man who was her equal so that they could live their lives together.
As for Bi Yuanhang, setting aside his past entanglements, Su Meixi thought he was actually quite good—a fair and handsome doctor with a promising future, and he came from a decent family. He would match well with Weina.
She just didn’t know how far their relationship had developed.
Of course, Su Meixi would not get involved; she could only continue to ignore Bi Yuanhang, not giving him the slightest chance. Only then might he truly give up on her.
After finishing her meal, Su Meixi greeted Weina, “I’m off!”
She didn’t even give Bi Yuanhang a glance.
Bi Yuanhang’s attention had been on Weina, and only now did he notice Su Meixi.
Seeing that Su Meixi didn’t even look at him as she left, he couldn’t help but feel saddened.
After eating, he went back to his room in the courtyard to rest.
After a short nap, when he came out, he just saw Weina returning as well.
There weren’t many customers in the restaurant in the afternoon, so Weina usually came back to rest.
When they met, both felt somewhat awkward, thinking of the incident from last night.
Bi Yuanhang wanted to say hello, but Weina went back to her room without uttering a word.
He felt a bit stifled, as if no one was paying him any mind.
…
That afternoon there was an emergency—a child from a family had fallen from a mountain and was unconscious, needing a doctor.
Bi Yuanhang volunteered to make the house call.
Upon arrival, he determined the child had intracranial hemorrhage and needed immediate surgery, but the local hospital was not equipped for craniotomies. All Bi Yuanhang could do was administer some medication to open the blood vessels and then urge them to send the child to the county hospital for emergency treatment.
The child’s family asked about the cost, and Bi Yuanhang told them it would be around seventy to eighty thousand with insurance, or possibly upwards of a hundred thousand without.
The child’s family discussed it, and with tears streaming down his face, the father decided not to bother and the child passed away that afternoon.
It was the first time Bi Yuanhang felt the helplessness of rural health care.
The worth of a human life could not outweigh the cost of expensive medical care.
Being a physician trained in traditional Chinese medicine, it was rare for him to see such a vivid life slip away before his eyes, so when he returned that day, he was in a very bad mood.
He decided to get some alcohol to drink.
Weina asked him, “Why are you drinking again? Drinking every day is bad for your health!”
Bi Yuanhang looked at her and said, “I’m in a bad mood.”
Seeing how downcast he was when he came back so late, Weina asked, “What happened?”

“Something work-related,” Bi Yuanhang said.
“You made a house call?”
“A child died,” Bi Yuanhang said.
Weina sighed, then took out a bottle of Erguotou and handed it to him, “Then have a little, but don’t drink too much.”
