Chapter 834: Chapter 300: The Junior Schoolmate Comes to Intern at the Company Too
Seeing so many people in the hospital room, Huang Panpan was startled, and then her gaze turned to Su Zelin: "Senior, are you okay?"
In fact, she had already learned about Su Zelin’s condition from Zhao Lixia, but she was still very concerned. You could tell from her breathless state that she must have jogged from the hospital entrance to the inpatient department and then taken the elevator to the ward.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine!"
Su Zelin had said this countless times today, and he was getting tired of it.
"Damn, which driver was so careless and blind while driving?"
Huang Panpan didn’t care much; she just lashed out at the other side. Even if Su Zelin was at fault, she would still blame the other side because, in the little junior’s heart, Su Zelin could never be wrong.
"A big truck driver caused the accident due to fatigue." Su Zelin was puzzled, "Panpan, how did you know I was in a car accident?"
"There are quite a few posts about your accident on the college forum. Xiaoshuang saw them and told me. I couldn’t reach you by phone, so I asked Auntie. Senior, why didn’t you tell me about such a big incident?"
The little junior pouted. It was one thing that Qin Shiqing knew before her, but it was unfair that Nanaz and Su Zelin’s female assistant were notified even earlier, which made Huang Panpan feel dissatisfied.
She believed her place in Su Zelin’s heart was second only to Qin Shiqing and that she couldn’t lose to other women.
"I lost my phone in the accident and haven’t had the chance to replace it and get a new SIM card. I thought it wasn’t a big deal, so I didn’t bother telling anyone!"
Su Zelin shrugged.
Upon hearing this, Huang Panpan sighed in relief.
According to the senior, Shiqing, Nanai, and the assistant also found out about this through other means.
With four intimate friends around, the atmosphere became a bit subtly tense.
Although they had met on Shiyi’s 21st birthday, there were a lot of people and the venue was huge, unlike the narrow confines of the hospital room now.
"Boss, take good care of yourself. I’ll head back now and come to see you another day."
Having taken advantage of Qin Shiqing’s absence to chat earlier, Song Yuwei felt it was best not to linger too long and was the first to excuse herself.
Next was Nanaz: "Classmate, seeing you’re alright puts me at ease. Recover soon; New Era and the Trend Tribe can’t do without you."
Her words carried some deeper meaning, but Qin Shiqing didn’t catch on.
As the two girls left one after the other, only the childhood friend and the little junior were left in the room.
Huang Panpan stayed in the ward until after nine, and seeing she had no intention of leaving, Su Zelin couldn’t help but say, "Alright, Panpan, you should head back to campus early, or the dorms will be locked if you’re too late."
But the little junior shook her head firmly, "No, I’m staying to keep watch tonight. Anyway, classes at school have stopped, and I’m about to start my internship, so I’m free these days. Senior Shiqing, you have to work tomorrow morning. Why don’t you go back, and I’ll take care of the senior!"
Qin Shiqing said casually, "It’s alright. I’ve already requested leave from the company and won’t return until Zelin is discharged."
Huang Panpan raised an eyebrow, "Then, Senior Shiqing, let’s take care of the senior together!"
Qin Shiqing was helpless as she knew the little junior was stubborn. She didn’t have a way to deal with her if she insisted on staying. She couldn’t very well call hospital security to remove someone.
The two women bickering over who would keep watch made the joker laugh.
Did you really think I’m such a serious patient?
In my condition, I could even play out a night shift hospital drama with the two of you without a problem...
In the end, Qin Shiqing won and made the first choice.
The girl was a bit smug: "I want the night; Zelin is mine at night!"
Despite saying it was to keep watch, there wasn’t much to do since the joker could move around freely, but the two girls were cautious. Every time he left the bed, they stuck close, afraid he might fall.
The recovery period for a concussion must never be rushed, as it could exacerbate brain injuries.
The hospital offered care beds and bedding, which could be rented for the night.
Qin Shiqing and Huang Panpan each rented a set, positioning themselves on either side of the bed.
With two girls keeping watch, a night shift hospital drama wasn’t going to happen.
Even if it were just Qin Shiqing, they wouldn’t have much chance. They couldn’t mess around in the hospital, and besides, the doctor said no intense activities for a while.
If the caretaker had been Nanaz, it might have been possible; all she’d need to do was lie down.
The little junior might have had a chance too, as she listened to him well.
Although it was a bit disappointing, Su Zelin still felt touched.
The care beds surely weren’t comfortable, and the bedding was old and not very clean, but Qin Shiqing and the little junior were willing to put up with it.
Around midnight, when the nurse came in to take his temperature and saw two girls sleeping beside the joker, she couldn’t help but shake her head.
This guy, is he really that charming or just a scumbag?
Over the next few days, more visitors arrived one after another. Besides the classmates who stayed in Lin’an after graduation, even those like Ah Xi were coming from Shenghai and Jinling.
The farthest came Zeng Kaiping, with the spirited young man taking a train back to Lin’an just to see Su Zelin again, making Qin Shiqing realize just how esteemed Su Zelin was back in school.
Those who were too far or unavailable, expressed their wishes through calls or texts.
