Today was a good day for a visit to the clinic.
My boyfriend got up early to make breakfast, and after eating breakfast I washed the dishes, he went to get the car, and both of us went to the clinic. But it wasn"t that clinic with those strangely worded advertis.e.m.e.nts, my boyfriend pulled me to the biggest hospital in the city.
My boyfriend said that one of the doctors in this hospital was his junior back in high school that he had a pretty good relationship with, and that we might as well find him instead.
I thought about it carefully. It would be a little awkward to find an unfamiliar doctor for this kind of matter, so having someone he knew would be a bit more convenient. Although the awkwardness cannot be avoided, since my boyfriend has already decided, I should just listen to what he says.
The queue at the hospital was pretty long. My boyfriend and I had never come to this hospital before, and the nurse lady behind the gla.s.s told us to take out our ident.i.ty cards.
Boyfriend: Mm.
Me: Oh.
Nurse Lady: I said to please take out your ident.i.ty card.
My boyfriend turned his head to look at me: Ident.i.ty card.
I was a little confused: Didn"t you bring your ident.i.ty card?
Boyfriend: I brought it.
Me: Take it out then.
Boyfriend: Why would I need to take out my ident.i.ty card?
Me: Didn"t you come here to get a check-up?!
Boyfriend: Aren"t you the one who came here for the check-up?
Me: …
Boyfriend: …
…Something doesn"t feel right.
The people behind us looked at us as if they were looking at idiots.
The nurse lady was a little impatient: Please take out your ident.i.ty card.
Boyfriend: Stop fooling around!
Me: Who"s fooling around!
Nurse Lady: Are both of you taking out your ident.i.ty cards!
