Chapter 130
Through Ma Sha's fever, Shen Yue finally realized that she needs to start getting used to prison life, so she can judge what to do when Ma Sha is in danger.
If she could judge if someone was lying, or if she knew what to do when Ma Sha was injured, she wouldn't be so passive.
Taking advantage of the time Ma Sha needed to rest after taking medicine, Shen Yue prepared to go to Building 6 to learn how to deal with different wounds and judge the condition of illnesses.
She was confident in her memory. Even if she didn't understand some things, as long as she remembered the conditions, onset, and treatments of hospital patients, then when Ma Sha encountered the same situation, she could make do even if she just recited textbook information.
Of course, when she went to Building 6, Number 14 was caught again.
The only thing Number 14 was fortunate about was that this time he only needed to accompany her and didn't have to do anything else.
The main thing was just being an escort.
Oh no, sometimes when Shen Yue insisted on observing in the operating room, he also had to help run errands and paperwork which was annoying.
However, although Number 14 felt it was troublesome, he still rushed over quickly every time Shen Yue had a need, because he knew Shen Yue wasn't playing around.
He couldn't confirm what Shen Yue wanted to do now; he only knew that as long as he let Shen Yue keep going like this, something interesting would definitely happen.
In this way, Shen Yue began living life caring for Ma Sha while learning at Building 6. It wasn't so much learning as Shen Yue recording the conditions of the prison's treatments for different patients, while also reading relevant books.
She had also run into Si Chengyou at Building 6, but the two didn't even exchange a glance.
Besides Ma Sha, Shen Yue wasn't interested in others.
As for Si Chengyou, it wasn't time yet.
After Ma Sha discovered that Shen Yue often ran outside Building 1, she realized something. Although she didn't stop her, every time Shen Yue came back Ma Sha would ask a few questions about what Shen Yue had seen and encountered outside, and would teach Shen Yue what the different behaviors of the different prisoners signified.
Sometimes Shen Yue would make it back in time for meals, so she would go to the canteen to get some dishes for Ma Sha. Of course, to be safe, she would often order more dishes.
This time she chose dishes for herself as well as Ma Sha as usual. She also pointed randomly at some other dishes to bring back with her.
Returning to Building 1, Shen Yue walked directly toward Ma Sha's room. As for her own one-bed room, she hadn't graced it for a long time; she liked sleeping with Ma Sha.
"Welcome back, little Shen Yue."
As she walked into the room Ma Sha's cheerful voice sounded; she seemed to be in good spirits today.
Shen Yue let Ma Sha come eat, and spread out the dishes on the table. It was only then that she realized a dish of spicy pork offal was among the random dishes she had ordered.
Ma Sha loved spicy food, but in her current condition she could only eat bland food. So with her basic medical knowledge Shen Yue strictly controlled Ma Sha's diet and didn't let her eat anything that wasn't conducive to recovery.
Even though Ma Sha had protested several times wanting to eat more flavorful dishes, Shen Yue had rejected her each time.
If Ma Sha saw this dish she would definitely kick up a fuss again.
Shen Yue was about to put away the troublesome dish when she turned around and saw that Ma Sha had already appeared behind her. Ma Sha had a look of not having eaten in 10 days, staring greedily at the spicy pork offal in Shen Yue's hands.
Shen Yue rushed to sidestep with the plate, but Ma Sha refused to give up and chased after her. Even injured, Ma Sha's body was far stronger than Shen Yue's, who simply couldn't escape.
With no choice, Shen Yue could only dodge while eating the dishes on her plate clean.
The result was, Shen Yue cried from the spiciness. Ma Sha cried too.
So they could only hug the leftover seasoning to get a whiff of the smell.
When Ma Sha's body had mostly recovered, she started forcing Shen Yue to exercise together with her.
So Shen Yue's schedule became spending the days in Building 6 recording patient conditions like a machine, then spending afternoons and evenings exercising with Ma Sha.
Time slipped by unnoticed until the last day of the new year.
In prison, living day after day in repetition of the same life, but for Shen Yue this was the most fulfilling period of her life.
On the night of New Year's Eve, the prison's inmates had an unexpected excuse to celebrate boisterously, gathering together unwillling to leave until late.
Ma Sha and Shen Yue also made dumplings together with beef filling.
"Happy New Year, little Shen Yue!" Ma Sha's long hair draped casually down, the oversized pajamas loose on her body exuded a languid air. She lifted a dumpling and smiled at Shen Yue, her face's smile easily infectious.
As if it were sunlight, able to pierce through any darkness.
"Happy New Year Ma Sha."
...
Tang Yi listened to the information Building 3 had collected. He placed the wine glass in his hand down lightly.
He opened his diary to the day he had first met Shen Yue, gently rubbing the date on it with his fingers.
Shen Yue, all conditions are ready already, I will be able to fulfill my promise to you very soon.
Mm-hm, speaking of which, he still hadn't calculated the specifics of his salary. Anyway he had more than he could use.
There were still some days before Shen Yue would leave Building 1; that time would suffice to have the prison provide him a payroll slip.
