Chapter 887: [(887)] The Person Chasing the Car Chapter 887: [(887)] The Person Chasing the Car “No way,” He Guangyou refused, clarifying that the doctors do not accept bribes.

“Each person just gets one egg. The village committee paid for them; it’s just a small gift,” Village Chief Li pretended to be annoyed as he had someone stuff a basket of eggs into the minivan.

Other village officials helped the doctors load the medical supplies and other materials for the outreach back onto the minivan. Yao Jie was in charge of tallying the items on the bus, and after verifying the count, she reported that they could leave.

Everyone grabbed the large steamed buns reportedly handmade by Village Chief Li’s wife and boarded the minivan, taking a few bites first.

As the vehicle started, the village officials stood at the entrance of the village committee building to see the medical outreach team off. The doctors felt quite moved.

Rain kept falling along the way, dispersing the intense heat of summer, and the cool breeze made it easy to fall asleep.

“I’m exhausted,” Kang Mingzhu pressed her head against the window, took off her glasses, and dosed off with her eyes closed.

Sitting next to her, Doctor Kim didn’t say a word, having fallen asleep before her.

Yao Jie found a three-seater spot to lie down on in the bus; she was the only nurse and was busy to the point of back and waist pains.

“Cover her with a jacket,” Zhu Huicang turned around and, concerned that the ladies might catch cold, said to He Guangyou and the others.

Qiu Ruiyun took a jacket to cover Yao Jie who was wearing the least clothing.

“The boss is asleep,” Chang Jiawei whispered close to Zhu Huicang’s ear.

Sitting in the front seat, Nie Jiamin had his arms crossed on his knees and his head drooped, one couldn’t tell he was napping without looking closely. One must admit, even asleep, the boss maintained an elegant and respectable posture.

Thus, sitting next to Teacher Nie, Xie Wanying heard the inappropriate snickers of Senior Zhu and Senior Chang from the back row. After a while, those elders, one by one, followed Teacher Nie’s lead and fell asleep too.

Looking back, Xie Wanying saw that everyone on the bus had fallen over like a rice field ravaged by a strong wind. The bus swayed a bit, and everyone’s sleeping positions were all over the place, making it impossible for anyone to laugh at anyone else.

Feeling a bit tired, Xie Wanying closed her eyes but couldn’t fall asleep. Probably too excited from the day’s events, her mind found it hard to relax. Upon opening her eyes and seeing the stylish Teacher Nie, she was reminded of Senior Cao, who was similarly fashionable.

Outside the bus window, raindrops tapped compellingly against the pane, inspiring a deep reflection and reminiscing of the evening she, carrying an umbrella with Senior Cao, had crossed to the food stalls opposite the hospital to dine with other seniors and juniors.

They had agreed to walk together on the weekend to learn to relax, but an unexpected task emerged, asking her help with the outreach, so their walk would have to wait until next week.

Wondering how Senior Cao was doing? He should know she was at the outreach since she had sent him a message before leaving, telling him she was busy this weekend.

After not managing to check her phone all day, she finally checked it now and saw a new message had arrived.

Senior Brother Huang had sent it, telling her: “Junior sister, Senior Cao bought you new ice cream. You’ll have to wait to come back and eat it.”

Sweet ice cream made her mouth salivate.

Xie Wanying’s lips involuntarily curled into a smile as she read the next message from Senior Cao, telling her: “Be safe when you’re out, no need to be nervous, and remember to call about anything.”

Yes, Xie Wanying replied to the two seniors to set their minds at ease.

Suddenly, a finger tapped her on the shoulder from behind.

“Senior Sister Xie,” Fan Yunyun stood behind her and said, “I think there might be someone following our bus.”

A situation at the back of the bus? Xie Wanying immediately got up and followed her to the last row of the minivan.
