Chapter 214 - 214 Chocolate
214 Chocolate
“Elder Tian, do you have something on your mind?”
Mo Ruyue saw Imperial Doctor Tian’s grave expression, as if he had a lot on his mind, so she casually asked.
“The surgery is the day after tomorrow, but I haven’t decided on the assistant yet. Although you’ll be the chief surgeon and I’ll be the assistant, the assistant is just as important.”
Imperial Doctor Tian naturally had nothing he couldn’t say in front of Mo Ruyue, especially when it was related to this operation. No matter how big or small the matter was, he had to make sure it was absolutely safe.
“I have two candidates, I wonder what Imperial Doctor Tian thinks.”
Mo Ruyue didn’t stay in Huichun Hall for nothing. Although she didn’t talk much with the other doctors, it didn’t mean that she knew nothing about their temperament and character.
“Does Madam Qin already have a candidate in mind?”
Imperial Doctor Tian was shocked. He thought that Mo Ruyue didn’t care about anything other than consultation. He didn’t expect her to be able to observe other people and give her opinion at this time.
“Then tell me, who are those two people?”
One of them is Doctor Wang, who has been giving medical services for the longest time, and the other is Doctor Lin’s assistant. These two people are upright, serious, and very rigorous people. They don’t talk much and only do things silently. I think they are very good.
When Mo Ruyue mentioned these two people, Imperial Doctor Tian immediately nodded.
Even though there were only two assistants, Mo Ruyue felt that it was enough.
Imperial Doctor Tian was in charge of informing the two people while she returned to Qing Xi’s ward. From now until the week after the operation, she would be taking care of Qing Xi.
There were not many sedatives in the bowl of tonic medicine that was originally prepared, so Qing Xi only slept for about an hour before she woke up. When Mo Ruyue entered the room, she was drinking water under the care of Madam Du
“Qing Xi, do let me know if you’re feeling unwell. The operation is scheduled for the morning of the day after tomorrow. You have to rest for the next two days. Moreover, you’ll be banned from drinking from tomorrow.”
As soon as Mo Ruyue entered the room, she routinely asked about the situation and told her about the arrangements for the surgery.
“Ever since I fell ill, I’ve never felt comfortable for a moment. My whole body is in pain. If you want me to explain in detail where I feel uncomfortable, I can’t give a specific answer.”
Qing Xi’s attitude seemed to be particularly bad today. When she answered the questions, her tone was as if she had eaten gunpowder. There was a strong smell of gunpowder.
Mo Ruyue called this condition “preoperative nervousness.” Moreover, Qing Xi had been tortured by her illness for so many years. Her temper was not very good to begin with. Her current condition of speaking in a strange tone was relatively better.
Madam Du wanted to step forward and persuade Qing Xi but was stopped by Mo Ruyue. She motioned for them to leave first. She planned to use her own way to persuade Qing Xi.
Seeing that Madam Du and her two personal maidservants were walking out of the room, Qing Xi wanted to straighten her body, but she squeezed the tumor in her stomach. A sharp pain hit her and she fell back onto the pillow, not daring to move again.
“Qing Xi, if I were you, I’d just lie down obediently and not move. Although you have been lying down for a long time and your whole body is sore, you’ve just experienced the pain of squashing the tumor in your stomach.”
Mo Ruyue was not the kind of person who would gently comfort others. Even her own baby had suffered a lot from her when they first met, let alone a bad-tempered young lady like Qing Xi.
So when she opened her mouth, Qing Xi’s heart was not in a good mood, but she didn’t dare to make any big movements. She could only stare at Mo Ruyue with hatred, wishing she could use her sharp eyes to poke her into a sieve.
“I know that you’ve been suffering for many years, but as long as you can hold on for two more days, you’ll be able to let go of this burden that you’ve been carrying for so many years. Of course, it’s normal for you to be scared when you have to cut your stomach and take out the things inside.”
“Now, tell me, do you want this matter to end smoothly?”
Mo Ruyue dragged a chair over and sat by Qing Xi’s bed. She said a lot to her in one breath, and the focus fell on the last sentence.
“Of course I want to, otherwise I wouldn’t have come all the way here.”
Qing Xi rolled her eyes at Mo Ruyue impatiently. It was that same old lecture again. She had already heard it so many times that her ears had grown calluses. She originally thought that this Madam Qin would come up with something new, but she didn’t expect that she was just repeating the same old tune.
“Since you want to, then control your emotions. You’re not a child anymore, and I’m just your attending doctor, not your emotional trash can.”
Mo Ruyue said unhurriedly.
She had also restrained her temper. According to her usual temperament, she would first scold those who did not cooperate and then leave. After all, the patient’s life was his own, and she would not stop him if he wanted to court death.
However, this operation was of great significance to Mo Ruyue. Failure was not allowed, so she was particularly indulgent towards Qing Xi.
Qing Xi originally wanted to retort, but for some reason, she could not say anything when the words reached her mouth.
“That’s right. Keep your dissatisfaction to yourself and don’t say it out loud. It’ll affect my mood, and it won’t do you any good for the surgery the day after tomorrow. If that’s the case, you’ll be the one to suffer in the end.”
Mo Ruyuye saw that Qing Xi seemed to have learned her lesson and nodded in satisfaction. She leaned forward and stuffed something into her mouth.
Qing Xi was caught off guard and was stuffed. Before she could ask Mo Ruyue what she had given her, she felt a sweet and fragrant taste in her mouth.
It was actually a candy that would melt in the mouth!
It was called sugar, but it was a little bitter. The two tastes intertwined and danced on the tip of the tongue, like a couple who were deeply entangled and couldn’t be separated, but it made people feel that the taste was born to co-exist.
Even when the candy in her mouth was gone, Qing Xi still wanted more. It was the first time she had tasted such a sweet and bitter mixture. After eating one, she wanted to eat a second one.
“What kind of candy did you just give me? Why does it taste so weird?”
Qing Xi did not intend to ask at first, but the candy seemed to have a magical power that made her more lustful as she savored the aftertaste. She couldn’t stop.
“This candy is called chocolate. Eat one when you’re in a bad mood and it will make you happy.”
Mo Ruyue had also found the cocoa fruit by accident. Who would have thought that she would find such a treasure in a small grocery store in this small County?
She almost immediately swept up all the cocoa fruits. After asking the shopkeeper of the grocery store, she found out that these were bought by one of his buyers to make up for the number. That person had taken the money and ran away, and she didn’t know where he went to find them.
Mo Ruyue used part of the cocoa beans to make chocolate, and the other part was planted in interspace, preparing to form a certain scale in the future, and then push the magical dessert, chocolate, to the world.
