"Okay."
Luo Qianxun nodded, watching Bai Lang get in the car and drive into the hospital gate.
She never imagined that he would work in this hospital. It seemed less convenient for her to come and take care of Jiang Xinjie here.
Although Jiang Xinjie didn't attend the same university as her, Bai Lang knew her because of Luo Qianxun.
So annoying.
Luo Qianxun sighed. The cheerful her from the past had now become melancholic.
Although she only had her grandmother by her side since she was a child, she never complained or thought of herself as pitiful.
She tried to keep herself happy, bringing many joys to her grandmother.
But now, she felt that all her previous efforts were an illusion - she had lost to marriage.
She didn't want to go home to face an empty room. After some thought, she hailed a taxi and went to the Landiao Bar.
Upon reaching the entrance of the bar, Luo Qianxun paid the fare and got out of the taxi, seeing a crowd of people discussing something at the entrance.
She was immediately a bit nervous. Did something happen at the bar?
"Bai Xiaolian! Bai Xiaolian!"
Calling out Bai Xiaolian's name, Luo Qianxun rushed inside.
"Qianxun."
Bai Xiaolian reached out and pulled Luo Qianxun, "I'm here, don't be nervous, I'm fine."
"What happened?"
Luo Qianxun noticed policemen inside the bar taking statements.
"Someone got drunk and made a scene, smashed someone's head."
Bai Xiaolian explained casually.
"Xiaolian, your hand is injured!"
Luo Qianxun exclaimed, noticing Bai Xiaolian's right hand was bloody.
"Just a minor injury."
Bai Xiaolian looked unconcerned, "Customers started a fight. As a bar employee, I had to intervene. It's no surprise I got hurt."
"I will accompany you to the hospital."
Luo Qianxun pulled Bai Xiaolian up to go, but she was stopped, "I can't. I still need to deal with matters here."
"Let me help you treat the wound first."
Luo Qianxun led Bai Xiaolian to the bar, "Give me the first-aid kit."
"Okay."
Bai Xiaolian fetched the first-aid kit from the cabinet, teasing, "I almost forgot you studied medicine."
"I studied pharmacy."
Luo Qianxun cleaned Bai Xiaolian's hand, revealing the cut made by glass.
"The cut isn't too deep, luckily. Otherwise the wound would need stitches."
Luo Qianxun carefully disinfected Bai Xiaolian's wound with a cotton swab, "If it hurts, just let me know."
"What's a little pain to me?"
Bai Xiaolian sneered, "I've had so many injuries since I was a kid. Some were even worse than this. I've long since gotten used to suffering pain."
"Xiaolian, how many times have there been troublemakers at the bar?"
Looking up at Bai Xiaolian, Luo Qianxun suggested, "Why not change your job? I don't want you to be in danger."
"I have no qualifications, what else can I do if I change jobs? Serve dishes and pour water for others again?"
Bai Xiaolian shook her head, "I've done the waitress job before. But with my bad temper, I can't possibly be servile to others. I'm not like you, having a degree."
Although her parents were both alive, they highly favored boys over girls and had made her drop out of school at an early age to earn money for the family.
She also had a younger brother. The money she earned, which her parents exhausted from her, was used to care for her brother.
Her family of three clung onto her like bloodsuckers, with no familial affection to speak of.
In a fit of anger, she left home and has been out of touch with her family for several years.
Working in a bar has been her longest-held job. It's free here and she earns more money, quite suitable for her.
