Chapter 724 - 724 727 Love in the Hutong

Chapter 724: Chapter 727: Love in the Hutong Chapter 724: Chapter 727: Love in the Hutong “I’m not interested in getting to know you,” Xiao Han sneered and said, “I’m just here to take my friend and leave.”

“Please!” The man in black heard this and hastily made way.

“Let’s go,” Xiao Han spoke up.

The group immediately headed out.

After leaving the territory of the Axe Gang, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, especially Liu Bin, who was afraid they hadn’t left the Axe Gang’s area and would continue to be followed. He had been trembling all along, but now that they had left, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

“Xiao Han, thank you!” Liu Bin initiated.

“No need to be polite!” Xiao Han shook his head, then said, “No need for courtesy among brothers!”

“Hmm!” Liu Bin nodded.

“Liu Bin, are you alright?” Zhang Feng asked, looking at the wound on Liu Bin’s head. The bleeding had stopped, but it still looked pretty scary.

Guan Xiaotong said with concern, “Let’s go to the hospital.”

“It’s nothing, I feel pretty good,” Liu Bin shook his head and said, “Just need to apply some medicine when I get back.”

“But what if the wound gets infected?” Guan Xiaotong exclaimed, getting anxious.

“Let’s go to Kangning Clinic,” Xiao Han said with a smile.

“Right, right, let’s get it checked at Kangning Clinic,” Liu Bin nodded.

After that, Xiao Han immediately turned around, heading straight for Kangning Clinic.

When they arrived at Kangning Clinic, it was already past 9:30 pm. At this time, there weren’t many people at Kangning Clinic, just a few receiving IV drips.

Liu Sisi sat on a nearby chair, supporting her cheeks with her hands.

“This guy, he still hasn’t come to see me!” Liu Sisi pouted, then sighed, saying, “Now that summer vacation has started, I don’t know whether he went back home or stayed in the provincial city, sigh…”

Liu Sisi felt a bit sad.

While Liu Sisi was lost in thoughts about him, suddenly, a few people came in from outside.

When Liu Sisi looked up, her eyes lit up because she saw a figure she was very familiar with. Her eyes instantly brightened, and she blurted out, “Xiao Han!”

“Sisi,” Xiao Han said with a smile, “You’re still working?”

“Of course!” Liu Sisi nodded and said, “If I don’t work, who will? My dad went to Beijing for a medical conference, so now it’s just me.”

“You should also go home early to rest,” Xiao Han said.

“If I go home to rest, what about the patients?” Liu Sisi pursed her lips.

Xiao Han was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, “What does it matter? The patients can come back tomorrow.”

“That’s not okay; that kind of thinking is wrong,” Liu Sisi shook her head and said, “Saving lives and helping the injured is a doctor’s nature. How can we just close the doors and leave if there are patients in need?”

“Haha…” Xiao Han couldn’t argue and just chuckled.

“Here for treatment?” Liu Sisi asked with her lips pursed.

“Oh, right, my friend got his head cracked open,” Xiao Han pointed at Liu Bin and said, “Can you check if he needs to be stitched up?”

Liu Sisi came over, looked at it, and said, “He needs stitches, the cut is quite big, requires two to three stitches.”

“Hmm!” Xiao Han nodded.

“It won’t require shaving his head bald, right?” Liu Bin quickly asked.

“Why not?” Xiao Han snorted and then said, “It’s very normal. Shaving the head is necessary for stitching, and it helps the wound heal better without trapping dirt and grime on the scalp.”

“Ah…” Liu Bin became anxious, “Sister Sisi, is there any way not to shave it?”

“Can’t do that!” Liu Sisi shook her head and said, “Can’t stitch without shaving. So, you decide what to do.”

“I…” Liu Bin looked embarrassed.

“Go ahead and shave,” Guan Xiaotong said with a suppressed smile, “I won’t dislike you for it. Right?”

“Really?” Liu Bin asked.

“Of course, it’s true!” Guan Xiaotong nodded.

“Well then!” Liu Bin nodded and said, “Since you say you won’t dislike me, then I’ll shave.”

“Hurry up!” Guan Xiaotong smiled.

Liu Sisi immediately brought over a hair clipper, and as she pushed it across Liu Bin’s head, clumps of hair began to fall, and he was quickly turned into a baldy revealing the two ghastly wounds on his head.

“Fortunately, the wounds aren’t too deep,” Liu Sisi said after a glance, “Just a few stitches will do.”

Liu Sisi had become a doctor, and the clinic had hired a female nurse, but by this time, the nurse had already finished her shift and gone home, so all the work had to be done by Liu Sisi alone.

After Liu Sisi got everything ready, she started to stitch up the wounds.

Stitching was a relatively simple surgical procedure, and Liu Sisi was very careful, so she did the stitches very neatly, effortlessly stitching up four or five stiches. The two wounds were stitched up with a total of five stitches.

“All done!” Liu Sisi smiled and said, “I’ve finished stitching you up. Take a look for yourself!”

After speaking, she handed a mirror to Liu Bin.

Liu Bin only took one glance before screaming in horror, “Oh my God, my hair, why is it all gone!”

“I had to shave it all off!” Liu Sisi laughed and said, “Did you expect me to shave it into a Fuwa for you?”

“I…” Liu Bin, looking helpless, said, “Alright, forget it. I don’t want to fuss over it anymore.”

“Time to pay up,” Xiao Han reminded.

“I’ll do it!” Guan Xiaotong hurriedly took out several hundred-yuan bills and said, “Thank you so much, Sister Sisi!”

“You don’t need to give that much!” Liu Sisi quickly shook her head and said, “It’s just a stitch, no need for five hundred. Just a hundred and twenty will do.”

“The rest is a tip!” Guan Xiaotong hastily said, “You’ve been staying in the clinic late into the night to stitch us up. We are really grateful. Besides, the money isn’t mine, Xiao Han earned it for me.”

Liu Sisi looked at Xiao Han with a puzzled expression.

“The money is compensation someone gave her!” Xiao Han said with a smile.

“Oh!” Liu Sisi nodded.

Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi thought that it would be foolish to refuse the money, so she unceremoniously accepted it.

“Then we’re heading back now,” Xiao Han said.

“Going where?” Liu Sisi asked subconsciously.

“Back to rest,” Xiao Han answered with a smile.

“Aren’t you going to keep me company?” Liu Sisi pursed her lips.

“I…” Xiao Han, upon hearing this, awkwardly said, “Isn’t it quite late? Besides, can you really leave the clinic now?”

“I can!” Liu Sisi quickly nodded her head.

“Xiao Han, you should keep Sister Sisi company,” Liu Bin, who was standing nearby, quickly said, “Zhang Feng and I will take a cab back, so you don’t need to worry about us.”

Before Xiao Han could say anything, Liu Bin immediately started walking out with Guan Xiaotong, while Zhang Feng gave Xiao Han a mischievous smile and then hurriedly left as well.

A smile crept across Xiao Han’s lips as he said, “There are still patients here, how are you going to handle that?”

“No problem, they’re all minor issues!” Liu Sisi chuckled, turned around, and said, “Auntie Liu, you can go home now, come back tomorrow. Uncle Zhang, you should head back too, you still have one bag of IV fluids left, we’ll continue tomorrow!”

“Alrighty!” Auntie Liu quickly nodded.

Uncle Zhang expertly removed the IV needle and then said, “Alright, then I’ll head back first, so I won’t disturb you and Sisi from your date.”

The few remaining people in the clinic left.

“Hehe, now it’s empty, right?” Liu Sisi chuckled gleefully.

“Fine,” Xiao Han nodded.

Liu Sisi promptly locked the door and then pulled Xiao Han outside. She was extremely happy, brimming with excitement.

The two of them walked out hand in hand. Liu Sisi excitedly hooked her arm through Xiao Han’s and said, “Did you know? There are even more food stalls in the alleyway.”

“Really?” Xiao Han asked in surprise.

“Let’s go, let’s hurry, we can still make it!” Liu Sisi said eagerly.

Xiao Han followed Liu Sisi toward the old street.

In the alley of the old street, there were quite a few people around. The elderly lady who used to sell yogurt was still there, looking aged and fragile as she sat in a chair, nodding off. Liu Sisi quickly approached and said, “Grandma Liu, I’d like to buy some yogurt.”

“Oh, it’s Sisi,” Grandma Liu opened her eyes and quickly said with a smile, “Come on, I’ll serve it for you.”

“No need to trouble yourself, I can do it!” Liu Sisi hurriedly opened the lid, scooped up two spoons with a bamboo tube, put them in a bowl, and then handed it to Xiao Han, saying, “You have to try this, Grandma Liu’s newly improved yogurt, with strawberry flavor.”

Xiao Han took the yogurt, tasted a spoonful, and said, “Nice, it really tastes good, sour-sweet, just like the flavor from my childhood.”

“Right?” Liu Sisi said gleefully.

She too quickly served herself a bowl and then gave Grandma Liu ten yuan.

The two of them continued walking, discovering the alley had no shortage of food stalls, especially at night when the snack business was booming. The crowd was a complete mess. People who came here to eat were mostly residents from this alley, which itself was a world of its own. Inside were urban villages comprised mostly of houses from the eighties, quite old and worn. From the outside, you couldn’t see the houses inside; they were jumbled and disordered. Once you walked in, it seemed difficult to find your way out again.

Xiao Han smiled and said, “It didn’t seem this crowded the last time I came.”

“We came in the afternoon last time,” Liu Sisi said with a smile, “Everyone was at work then. Now it’s evening, and all the families are home. People come out to have snacks, stroll around, and enjoy the cool evening air, so it’s more crowded.”

“It’s surprising how many residents are hidden here,” Xiao Han said with a smile.

“I know, right?” Liu Sisi chuckled and said, “Apparently, some developers wanted to demolish the area, but they got cold feet when they saw how many people lived here.”

“Really?” Xiao Han smiled and then said, “These developers sure are timid, aren’t they?”

“It’s mainly because of the density here,” Liu Sisi explained with a smile, “The location might be good, but with so many people, negotiations for compensation are challenging. So, it can be quite troublesome to deal with.”

Xiao Han nodded and said, “Yeah, demolitions are indeed not easy these days. In the past, forced evictions were possible, but nobody dares to do that now. The media exposure, especially from online outlets, is too intimidating.”
