4588 The Other Side 557
Every time the nurse ran into him, she would be dumbfounded. Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ even suspected that this constant self torture was the reason why he finally did himself in.
“Today is a day worth celebrating!” Chu He had always been a serious person. Now that her son was finally released from quarantine, she beamed with joy. “Today is the day the two kids are reborn! No matter what, it would be great if we could drink to our heart’s content tonight!”
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “That’s a good suggestion!”
Mu Yazhe chimed in, “It would be even better if there was red wine around.”
!!Chu He shook her head. “It’s such a hot day. Why don’t we have some beer? It’ll relieve the heat, and besides, we won’t get drunk easily!”
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ caught the implication. “It seems that Chu He can’t hold her liquor too well?”
Chu He retorted, “Better than you can!”
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ suddenly turned to Mu Yazhe and said, “Let’s drink to our heart’s content tonight, shall we? It’s a rare joyful occasion!”
They had been living in anxiety for so long. Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ had been worried day and night, unable to get any decent rest. Now, she could finally heave a sigh of relief! The urge to drink was strong.
Mu Yazhe stroked her head helplessly at that. “Got it. Just one drink. I’ll make you an exception tonight.”
“Yay!”
Chu He suddenly said, “I know a particularly good place. It’s quiet and breezy at night. Besides, no one will disturb us.”
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ reminded her, “We can’t leave the hospital.”
“It’s in the hospital.”
“Where?”
“You’ll find out tonight!” Chu He replied mysteriously.
…
At night, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ went to the supermarket to buy a lot of cooked vegetables. They were the processed kind that could be eaten directly.
Although it was not exquisite and was relatively cheap, ordinary office workers would go to the supermarket to buy such ready-made cooked vegetables to eat when they did not have time to cook. The taste was definitely not top-notch, but it was not bad.
She bought cooked vegetables, a carton of beer, peanuts, and pickles. The group of people then brought the majestic spread into the hospital.
Chu He led the group to the hospital terrace.
It turned out that the perfect place she had mentioned was this hospital terrace. It was huge and s.p.a.cious.
During the day, many doctors and nurses would wash their work clothes and hang them out to dry here. At night, the clothes would be taken down, leaving only bare clothes racks.
After moving the clothes racks away, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ placed the soft ground covering she had bought on the terrace. It was a large sheet, and a group of people could sit on it. The twins were the first to lie down on it. The evening breeze was extremely pleasant.
“It feels so comfortable!”
Chu He was pleased with herself. “Comfortable, isn’t it? How’s this place?”
Mu Yazhe sincerely praised her. “Yes! Top marks for the effort.”
Everyone sat down on the ground covering. Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ eagerly placed the fragrant cooked dishes on the small table while Mu Yazhe unpacked the beer.
Eating like this was a first time for both himself and Gu Jinglian.
Although many of the cooked dishes looked strange, everyone’s appet.i.te was whetted by the aroma and their hunger.
“This is a pigs’ ears. Try it!” Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ egged Mu Yazhe on.
The man picked a piece of the food up with his chopsticks and chewed on it with gusto.
It was fragrant, crispy, and surprisingly delicious.
“Is it good?”
“Uh huh, not bad!”
