Chapter 93: Heartbroken Tears Before the Grave

The entire world was silent.

Fang Mu turned around, but didn’t stop kneeling.

He looked up at the tombstone and swept his gaze across the words “Qiao Jiuyin” and the familiar face.

He did not even have the right to write “Fang Mu’s wife” on her tombstone.

Fang Mu dug a pit in the grass in front of the tombstone with his bare hands. He placed the ring he took from Qiao Jiuyin’s hand into the pit and covered it with soil to hide it. After doing all this, he straightened his back and leaned over to kiss the cold tombstone.

A moment later, Fang Mu softly said, “I’m sorry, Xiao Sheng. Brother Mu let you down.”

His voice fell, but no reply came.

Fang Mu suddenly realized.

Xiao Sheng has really passed away.

This realization made his heart ache.

Pa!

Pa!

A few tears fell on the stone floor. Fang Mu slowly lowered his head and saw the drops of water in front of him.

He hesitantly raised his hand and touched his eyes.

He felt warmth.

It wasn’t that he was being uncouth. It was more that he was in disbelief.

Why am I crying?

He haphazardly wiped his eyes, but could not hold back his tears.

After wiping his eyes a few more times, Fang Mu suddenly collapsed. He knocked his head hard on the stone slab and whimpered for Xiao Sheng. He lowered his head and did not raise it for a long time.

“Ah Wei, we have an emergency patient.”

“Where’s Teacher?”

“Chief Chen had to perform an operation in the morning. It’s not over yet.”

“Okay.”

At the Medical University, Wei Shuyi was Teacher Chen Anyuan’s student. Teacher Chen was not only an especially-invited lecturer at Binjiang Medical University, but he was also an attending physician in the Cardiothoracic Department of this private hospital. Before becoming a teacher, Wei Shuyi had been a doctor for a period. Later on, because of some matters, he became a teacher.

Nevertheless, whenever he got time, he would come to the hospital to help his teacher. This time as well, he put on his white coat and went to Teacher Chen’s office.

The patient from the Emergency Department did not seem to be seriously injured. After all, her posture was tidy. Moreover, she elegantly sat with her back facing him.

Wei Shuyi said as he quickly walked over to her, “Hello, are you feeling unwell?”

When he reached the patient, the patient happened to look up and greet him. She said, “Doctor, please treat my wound.”

Wei Shuyi lowered his head to look at the patient’s wound. However, his gaze first fell on the patient’s face.

When he saw that face, his eyes slightly changed.

Qiao Jiuyin saw that the doctor was staring at her face, and she thought that she had not tidied up her appearance. She used her right hand to sweep away the strands of hair on her forehead and forced out a smile. Then, she said, “I accidentally injured my hand. Please help me deal with it, Doctor.”

“What happened?” Wei Shuyi stared at the wound on Qiao Jiuyin’s ring finger and frowned.

Qiao Jiuyin’s expression did not change. She only said, “I met a robber while shopping.”

It was useless to say anymore. Wei Shuyi understood this.

“Don’t wear too expensive jewelry when you shop.” He took out an antiseptic, a gauze, and scissors. After saying this, he smiled again and joked, “But expensive and beautiful accessories exist to show off.”

Qiao Jiuyin laughed. “You’re right, Doctor.”

“This might hurt a little. Just bear with it.”

He poured the antiseptic solution on her ring finger and saw her frown. Qiao Jiuyin gasped in pain, and a painful expression appeared on her face. However, Wei Shuyi’s expression did not change.

After putting the flesh back on the wound, Wei Shuyi bandaged the wound and reminded Qiao Jiuyin to take note of it.

Qiao Jiuyin listened and silently remembered.

The treatment finished quickly.

Qiao Jiuyin thanked Wei Shuyi and left.

Wei Shuyi took off his gloves and walked out of the office. Chief Wu’s assistant, Xiao Gao, hurriedly walked over and joked with him, “This patient looks rigorous!”

Wei Shuyi glanced at Xiao Gao and said, “People who only look at others’ appearances are superficial.”

“Fine, fine! How can you, the Immortal Wei, understand the thoughts of ordinary people like us?” Xiao Gao shook his head, but he then heard Wei Shuyi say beside him, “In the future, there’s no need to trouble Teacher with such minor injuries.”

Xiao Gao curled his lips.

Wei Shuyi walked away. Xiao Gao stared at his back and silently thought. He remained indifferent even when he saw such a beautiful lady. Is he really a man?
