Because it was the student's privacy, Gu Baisheng didn't get into details. She smiled, "I will pay special attention to this student."
Chu Qin nodded, "Thank you, Miss Bai."
Gu Baisheng nodded with a smile.
Chu Qin taught at this school after graduating from college. He was very passionate about charity back in college. And he volunteered at the school for deaf mutes multiple times taking care of those disabled kids.
After graduation, he applied for a job at this school.
He had been teaching here for three years since he passed the interview.
Now he was 27 years old.
Gu Baisheng had a good impression of him. So she talked with him a bit longer after he showed her to the school infirmary.
She felt a bit bitter about the fact that she was the only doctor at the school infirmary.
"Why am I the only school doctor here?"
Gu Baisheng asked Chu Qin.
Chu Qin was a bit embarrassed, "Well, because the interviewees couldn't stand the work situation here."
"They couldn't stand it?"
Gu Baisheng was confused, "Is it because of the workload? Students get hurt every day?"
"It's not because of the workload. There's a student..."
"Bad news, Mr. Chu!"
Before Chu Qin finished his sentence, a student with a cleft lip pushed open the door in a hurry and shouted to Chu Qin, "He was beaten again!"
"Again?"
Chu Qin was a bit worried and he turned back to look at Gu Baisheng, "Excuse me, I must have a look now."
"Yeah." Gu Baisheng thought it was a fight among students, so it might be helpful if she showed up. She asked, "Can I go with you?"
"No, it's dangerous. I'll go there alone."
Chu Qin was determined not to let Gu Baisheng go.
Gu Baisheng was a bit confused, so she held the arm of the boy who delivered the message after Chu Qin rushed out. She asked, "Good boy, could you tell me what happened?"
"The boy from the Xiao Family got beaten again." The boy was very tanned and was about 7 or 8 years old. His black big eyes looked like fresh grapes against his dark skin tone.
Gu Baisheng quite liked this little boy, so she asked again, "Who is the boy from the Xiao Family?"
"The silly big dummy." The boy called that student's nickname because he was in a rush.
"The silly big dummy?"
Gu Baisheng frowned, "Can you show me to the place?"
"No." The boy insisted, "It was dangerous."
"Why?"
"There are lots of crazy students beating him! Those students beat other people like crazy. Only male teachers can keep them under control. You will get yourself hurt."
While talking, this little boy started to flush when he looked at Gu Baisheng's angel-like face.
Gu Baisheng patted his head and smiled, "What's your name?"
"My name is Ye."
Gu Baisheng nodded, "Thank you for answering my question, Ye."
After being thanked by Gu Baisheng, Ye became too shy to talk fluently, "Then... I'll go back to my class."
Gu Baisheng nodded.
Ye looked at her face greedily and secretively before he shyly turned around to leave.
While leaving, he covered his mouth and nose subconsciously.
It seemed that he didn't want Gu Baisheng to see his cleft lip.
Gu Baisheng stopped smiling with her eyes full of pity after she noticed his petty action.
Since Ye said that, she couldn't insist to go. So she decided to wait for the injured kid to be sent here.
By then, she could find out what happened.
Chu Qin went to stop the fight for more than half an hour.
When he came back, his clothes were torn, and two of the buttons on his shirt were ripped off. There were some footsteps and bloodstains on his jacket and trousers.
And the black-framed glasses on his face were askew.
When Gu Baisheng saw he was carrying a student in school uniform, she walked toward them and helped him to put the student on the sickbed, "Are you alright, Mr. Chu?"
Chu Qin put the student on the sickbed messily and held up his askew black-framed glasses. He was still panting, "I'm fine. You should take a look at him first."
Chu Qin pointed at the fainted student to signal Gu Baisheng to check on him.
Gu Baisheng looked at the student and froze, "Xiao Rong?"
Absolutely, it was Xiao Rong who was lying on the sickbed with his head broken and half of his face stained by his blood.
The man who left without saying goodbye in the hotel near the hospital showed up here?
She watched the recording of the hotel after he left suddenly.
The recording showed that Xiao Rong walked out of the hotel room consciously and took a taxi to leave.
It seemed that he went home on his own.
She wanted to keep investigating, however, the police told her that there was no missing person reported by any family.
She didn't know where to start, so she had to let go of it temporarily.
She didn't expect that she could see Xiao Rong here today.
"You know Xiao Rong, Miss Bai?"
Chu Qin was a bit confused.
Gu Baisheng dared not mention the time when she saved Xiao Rong's life, so she just said, "We used to live in the same neighborhood."
While hearing this, Chu Qin was a bit surprised, "His family lives in a high-end residential area. Do you live there too, Miss Bai?"
Gu Baisheng smiled awkwardly. She didn't explain, instead, she reached out her hands immediately to clean the bloodstains on Xiao Rong's face with alcohol pads.
Then she tried to unzip Xiao Rong's clothes to check if his former scars were still there.
But when she tried to pull the zipper off his top.
Xiao Rong who was in a coma covered Gu Baisheng's hands right away.
He looked at her with his half-open and blood-covered eyes.
Apparently, he didn't want her to unzip his clothes.
Gu Baisheng thought about Xiao Rong's complex background and talked to Chu Qin, "Leave it to me please, Mr. Chu."
Chu Qin was smart and he immediately got what she meant after hearing her words, "Oh, well. I have another class. I'll check on him in the afternoon."
Gu Baisheng nodded and asked for sick leave for Xiao Rong, "He's severely injured. I'm afraid he has to miss today's classes."
"OK. I know."
Chu Qin also knew that Xiao Rong didn't need to take any class in this school at all.
So it wasn't a big deal for him to miss classes if he was injured.
Gu Baisheng thanked Chu Qin, "Thank you, Mr. Chu."
Chu Qin replied right away, "You are welcome. I have to go to work now."
Gu Baisheng saw Chu Qin off and locked the door of the school infirmary at the same time.
Then she went back to Xiao Rong's sickbed and pulled the zipper of Xiao Rong's school uniform.
Xiao Rong moved his hands and didn't stop her this time.
Gu Baisheng unzipped his school uniform and softly lifted up his white T-shirt to check his waist while holding him.
There were a few bruises on his ribs.
Gu Baisheng felt relieved when she found that the wounds she saw in the hotel last time didn't get worse because of those abuses.
Then after she went on checking his other injuries, she felt relieved and comforted him, "It's alright. Everything will be fine when I dress your wounds. Your head injury isn't serious either. Don't worry."
Xiao Rong nodded.
It might be because of the pain or other reasons that Xiao Rong's tears streamed from his charming eyes.
Gu Baisheng actually felt sorry for Xiao Rong.
She felt happy when she saw him again.
She knew if she was here, she could help him with lots of things in the future.
Although she wouldn't be able to change his life completely, she could make his life a bit better.
"Stop crying. You're a man!"
Gu Baisheng applied medicine to his head wound and dressed it in gauze. She touched his tears softly and smiled, "Does it hurt so much?"
Xiao Rong looked at Gu Baisheng a bit confusedly.
After thinking about it, Gu Baisheng stood up and dug out a packet of sweets from her bag.
There were different kinds of candies, such as chocolate candy, mint, marshmallow, and fruit candy.
She showed the candies in her hand to Xiao Rong, "If it's painful, you can have a candy. You won't feel too painful in that way."
He put the candies in Xiao Rong's hand.
Then she put a mint into Xiao Rong's mouth.
Xiao Rong ate the candy while lying on the sickbed, but he started to cry harder.
Gu Baisheng wiped his tears with a napkin.
There were newly beaten bruises on his face and old bruises under his eyes.
It seemed that his life was really bad.
Gu Baisheng felt bad, so she just let him cry.
She knew that sometimes it would be better to cry if people felt hurt.
If they had borne anything in their hearts, it would have caused problems sooner or later.
When Gu Baisheng saw him crying so hard, she sat on the edge of the bed after thinking about it for a while. Then she softly pulled Xiao Rong up and held him in her arms.
She held Xiao Rong like she used to hold Shen. She patted the back of his head, "Alright. Be a good boy and stop crying. I'll take good care of you. No one can bully you!"
Xiao Rong couldn't stop sobbing.
It was indeed a bit silly. He didn't make people feel disgusted while crying because of his pretty face. Instead, people would feel sorry for him.
He could always trigger people's desire to protect him.
Gu Baisheng put her hand on Xiao Rong's back and patted, "Please stop crying, all right?"
Xiao Rong gradually lowered his voice.
After a long time, Gu Baisheng held him to have a close look at him when there was no sobbing sound.
It turned out that he fell asleep.
Gu Baisheng sighed and put him on the sickbed and covered him with the quilts of the school infirmary.
She watched him sleeping beside his bed for a while.
Then she walked out from the curtained ward sadly.
When she walked out of the infirmary,
She sat at the table in a daze and suddenly thought about her own child.
His name was Song Shen.
His name was supposed to be Gu Shen.
But Song Shuang married her and said that he was willing to accept the child.
So, he insisted that the child should've taken his family name.
Gu Baisheng knew that Song Shuang suffered a lot from offering to marry her when she was pregnant.
So she accepted Song Shuang's suggestion.
Song Shuang said that the Shen meant deep love.
Gu Baisheng knew that Song Shuang was expressing his feelings to her.
But who could tell that wasn't it a pun?
It was not only Song Shuang's deep love for Gu Baisheng but also Gu Baisheng's deep love for Cheng Bi.
So, that child was named Shen.
When Shen had a fight with his friends at the age of five, he used to cry in her arms like this.
Although Xiao Rong was an adult, his miserable look was still like a poor child.
She began to cry while thinking about it.
