"A colleague!" Tu Hengsha said, "You could say he's a teacher!"
Shu Hui lost interest as soon as she heard he was a teacher, automatically assuming teachers categorized as men in their forties or fifties, divorced or widowed. "How can men take care of patients? They're all careless! It's a wonder if they can take care of themselves; usually, they take care of themselves in a haphazard manner."
Really? Tu Hengsha felt that Mr. Su was quite capable of taking care of people. When she was hospitalized, he took care of her quite well and even knew how to build a fire! But on second thought, Mom had a point. Just because Mr. Su could build a fire and boil water didn't mean he was meticulous. Indeed, boys tended to be more careless. For instance, when she was in the hospital, a certain teacher took care of her, but she also got scolded quite a bit, and all her meals came from takeout…
She thought for a moment, then called Mr. Su.
