Chen Ran went to the inpatient department to complete the hospitalization procedures, paid a deposit of 5,000 yuan, and took Zhang Ping to the ward.

The facilities in the ward are all available, and several sets of hospital gowns have been thoughtfully prepared for the patients. With the help of the female nurse, Zhang Ping went to the dressing room, changed into hospital gowns, and lay down on the hospital bed.

Chen Ran watched the nurses coming in and out of the ward, connecting various instruments to Zhang Ping's body, and hooking up normal saline to Zhang Ping to relieve the pain in Zhang Ping's body.

"Xiao Chen, thank you so much. I will pay you back the money as soon as my sister is discharged from the hospital!" Zhang Ping knew that Chen Ran helped her advance the hospitalization expenses. She smiled hard at Chen Ran while lying on the hospital bed.

Said a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, Sister Ping, these things are things for later. You should rest in peace and recuperate first, and be sure to listen to the doctor's advice! I will go back to the hotel first and come to see you later!" Chen Ran saw that Zhang Ping had been settled and gave simple instructions.

After a few words, he left.

Back at the hotel, Chen Ran spontaneously took over Zhang Ping's position, picked up the work tools and started cleaning. Xiao Wang, the foreman, saw this and asked in surprise: "Ah! Manager Chen, how did you get to do this? Sister Ping"

Woolen cloth?"

Chen Ran told Xiao Wang about Zhang Ping's hospitalization. Xiao Wang said with a smile: "Since Sister Ping is in the hospital, I can just assign her work to other cleaning staff. How can I ask you to do it yourself?"

Here!" After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he turned around and walked backstage, but was stopped by Chen Ran.

"Xiao Wang, please don't inform them. The cleaning staff's workload is already heavy, so don't increase their workload. During this period, I will take over all the work that Sister Ping is doing."

"But..." Xiao Wang wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Chen Ran, who asked her to go about her own business. Xiao Wang had no choice but to nod in agreement, secretly giving a thumbs up to the warm-hearted lobby manager.

.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Ran came to the hospital with a late-night snack and found the ward where Zhang Ping was. He saw Zhang Ping lying on the hospital bed watching TV. Her face had returned to rosy and was not as pale as before coming here.

"Are you feeling better? I brought some supper, Sister Ping, please have some!" Chen Ran put down his handbag, came to sit down in front of Zhang Ping's hospital bed, and said softly.

"Well, it's much better. The doctor said that I will have an operation soon and can only eat a little liquid food. Give me a bowl of porridge." Zhang Ping smiled at Chen Ran.

Chen Ran nodded, took out the packaged preserved egg and lean meat porridge from his handbag, opened the lid, blew it again and again, then handed it to Zhang Ping, then picked up a burger and started eating it.

Zhang Ping stretched out her hand to take the porridge and looked at Chen Ran who was devouring it. She was moved by the warmth of this sunny boy.

, and secretly lamented that he was old and yellow. If he were more than ten years younger, he would marry this handsome and warm man in front of him no matter what.

That night, Chen Ran was worried that Zhang Ping would need someone to accompany her on her first day in the hospital, so she lay on a stool in the ward and stayed overnight. The next day, Chen Ran returned to the hotel with two jet-black "panda eyes."

"Hey! Manager Chen, what did you do in Lili last night? Why are your eyes black? Are you going to be a thief?" Xu Yun came to the hotel and happened to meet Chen Ran with black eyes. He couldn't help but laugh and joke.

"Hi! I said, Manager Xu, please don't make fun of me. Sister Ping had a sudden gallstone attack and was hospitalized. I went to take care of her. I didn't sleep all night. Well, I got up early and it's like this." Chen Ran

Pointing at the dark eye sockets, he smiled bitterly.

"What? Sister Ping is hospitalized?" After hearing what Chen Ran said, Xu Yun put away his joking attitude and asked with concern. As a manager, he naturally has to care about the health of his employees.

Chen Ran told Xu Yun everything about Zhang Ping's illness yesterday. After hearing this, Xu Yun said immediately: "Then you accompany me to the hospital this afternoon to visit Sister Ping."

"Yes!" Chen Ran nodded and agreed.

Xu Yun returned to the office and recalled the details of Chen Ran's account of taking care of Zhang Ping. A smile appeared on his face and he murmured to himself: "This little guy is so adorable! He's so handsome and caring!"

In the afternoon of that day, Xu Yun, accompanied by Chen Ran, came to the hospital where Zhang Ping was staying, carrying a large basket of fruits.

In the ward, Zhang Ping saw Manager Xu coming and struggled to sit up to greet him. Xu Yun held her shoulders. She told Zhang Ping to take good care of her health and not to worry about other things.

Zhang Ping praised Chen Ran highly in front of Xu Yun. As a leader, Xu Yun could not lag behind and said that she would report to the headquarters to praise Chen Ran for his helpful behavior.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Xu Yun took Chen Ran and left the hospital.

On the way, Xu Yun asked Chen Ran why he was so kind to Zhang Ping. Chen Ran replied: "Sister Ping is my only relative here. If I don't treat her well, who will treat her well? It's not easy for foreigners in the local area.

, it wouldn’t hurt to ask for more help.”

After Chen Ran finished speaking, Xu Yun turned his head, looked at him seriously, and said quietly: "If it were me lying in the hospital, would you treat me like you treat Sister Ping?"

"Yes." Faced with Xu Yun's sudden question, Chen Ran was stunned for a few seconds and then nodded.

Hearing Chen Ran's affirmative answer, Xu Yun's heart felt as sweet as honey, but he pretended to be angry, punched Chen Ran, and hummed: "I have hesitated for so long, but at first glance, I didn't mean it! Humph!"

Xu Yun turned his head and stopped talking.

Looking at Chen Ran, he actually had a smile on his face.

The two returned to the hotel, Xu Yun went to his office, and Chen Ran walked around outside the hall, then picked up the work tools that belonged to Zhang Ping and started working.

At dinner time, Chen Ran came to the hospital ward carrying porridge from the kitchen.

Zhang Ping told Chen Ran that she was going to have surgery the next afternoon and was a little scared.

Chen Ran comforted Zhang Ping and told her not to worry, as he would wait for her outside the operating room.

When Zhang Ping heard this, a warm current flowed through her heart, and her eyes slowly began to change when she looked at Chen Ran.

At noon the next day, Chen Ran came to the hospital early, had lunch with Zhang Ping, and chatted for more than an hour. At this time, the doctor came in and informed Zhang Ping to prepare for the operation immediately.

About twenty minutes later, Zhang Ping was pushed into the operating room. On the way to the operating room, Zhang Ping held Chen Ran's hand tightly. Her joints turned pale from the exertion, and her palms were full of sweat.

The lights outside the operating room door slowly turned on. Chen Ran looked at the red light emitting from the words "Under Operation" and felt an inexplicable feeling of nervousness in his heart.

Outside the operating room, Chen Ran experienced the first long wait in his life. During Zhang Ping's operation, Chen Ran walked back and forth outside the door for an unknown number of steps. For the first time, he realized that time was so difficult.

Two hours later, the door to the operating room slowly opened.

"Are Zhang Ping's family members here?" A doctor poked his head out of the operating room and shouted.

"Doctor, I am here. I am a family member of Zhang Ping." Chen Ran quickly came to the door of the operating room and said to the doctor.

"The operation was successful. I will be discharged after a few days of observation." The doctor took off his mask, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and smiled at Chen Ran.

Chen Ran thanked him repeatedly after hearing this, and then saw a pale-faced Zhang Ping being pushed out of the operating room.

Perhaps it was because the anesthetic had not worn off yet. Zhang Ping was still sleeping. Looking at Zhang Ping who was pale due to excessive blood loss, Chen Ran felt distressed on his face. Only then did Chen Ran realize that he had already regarded Zhang Ping as a relative.
