Is Chapter 130 ever going to end?
Lin Dachun had barely walked a hundred meters from the hospital when he heard hurried footsteps behind him, this time even more urgent, accompanied by a woman's panting cries:
"Uncle Lin! Wait a minute!"
He paused, the tension that had just eased in his heart tightening again.
Looking back, he saw another young woman in a white coat and a nurse's cap running towards him.
She was probably around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, much older than the three interns from before, and likely a married woman.
She had fair skin and well-defined features. When she ran fast, her cheeks flushed, and her nurse's cap tilted slightly.
Lin Dachun stood still, watching her get closer and closer.
When she reached him, she held her knees and panted for a while before straightening up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him: "Comrade Lin Dachun, right?"
"Hmm," Lin Dachun responded, a strange sense of irritation welling up inside him again.
Is this ever going to end?
"I'm a nurse at the town's central hospital, my surname is Chen. I was there during the demonstration just now." As she spoke, she took a letter out of her pocket and handed it to her. "This... is for you."
Lin Dachun didn't answer. He looked up at the nurse surnamed Chen in front of him.
Her gaze was different from that of the other interns; it lacked the pure curiosity and admiration, and instead held a hint of... ambiguity? Or perhaps, a more complex longing.
"What...is this?" Lin Dachun asked, his voice still hoarse.
"My message," Nurse Chen said, her face flushing again, "I want to... write to you."
Again.
Lin Dachun almost forced a bitter smile.
He was just a rough peasant from the loess slopes, barely literate. What was there about him that made these city women in white coats chase after him one after another, wanting to write him letters?
In those days, there were no cell phones, and telephones were not widespread; writing letters was the only way to stay in touch.
"Why would you write me a letter? We don't even know each other," Lin Dachun said speechlessly.
"Take it and take a good look. I'm going back to work now," the nurse said as she ran off.
Lin Dachun clutched the letter in his hand. He didn't know what had happened. His first instinct was to get out of this troublesome place as quickly as possible. What if a female doctor came out looking for him?
Lin Dachun ran a long way and finally left the town, walking on the road back to the village.
Lin Dachun opened the letter, curious about what these women had written in it.
Lin Dachun doesn't know many characters, but he has no problem with basic ones.
"Dear Uncle, I saw you today. As a female nurse in the urology department, I've seen a lot, but yours is just... oh my, I'm blushing. My address is Chen Lin, a nurse at Zaolin Town Central Hospital. You can write to me, we can go on a date, or you can come to the hospital to see me alone."
"What are all these things???"
Lin Dachun was completely bewildered.
"What? What? What?"
If Li Ruoxue saw this letter, she would probably be jealous and blame herself again.
Lin Dachun had no idea what he had done to offend them. Didn't they feel ashamed of him?
Lin Dachun hurried home, but on the way, he still used the ten yuan to buy something, including a hair clip for Li Ruoxue as a gift.
"Ruoxue? Ruoxue? I'm back."
Li Ruoxue opened the door and was very happy to see Lin Dachun return.
"How's it going? Did you make any money?" Li Ruoxue asked immediately.
"I made money, ten yuan. Here, this is the money and the hair clip I bought for you." Lin Dachun handed over the items.
Li Ruoxue took the hair clip; it was very pretty.
"Help me put it on," Li Ruoxue said impatiently.
Lin Dachun helped Li Ruoxue put on the hair clip and looked her over.
"You look really pretty with that hair clip on," Lin Dachun chuckled.
"Is everything going well? You've worked hard." Li Ruoxue was very reassuring.
Li Ruoxue pulled Lin Dachun into the house. It wasn't as hot as yesterday, so Li Ruoxue was wearing clothes and wasn't sweating.
"Well, how should I put it? Anyway, it's shameful, extremely shameful. If the village hears any rumors about me, you'd better stay calm. I've already done this disgraceful thing, so let me be ashamed. Sigh." Lin Dachun was also humbled for the sake of money.
"We don't steal, rob, or sell. We earn money honestly and fairly. What's shameful about it? It's not shameful at all. In my eyes, you work so hard to earn money, and that's the best thing. A clear conscience fears no accusation. It's alright. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat." Li Ruoxue said gently and considerately.
These words moved Lin Dachun, who then hugged Li Ruoxue from behind.
"Oh dear, the door is open. If someone sees us, they'll start gossiping again." Li Ruoxue blushed.
