“Bed 13, feeling better now?” The doctor in the white coat flipped through the medical record folder, “You can be discharged today if there’s nothing wrong.”

Ya Xiao looked at the white angel in front of her, breathlessly, “Not good, I’m still weak.” She was admitted to the hospital in the early hours of yesterday morning and only woke up in the evening, she still hasn’t slowed down until now. Originally, she thought she had appendicitis, but upon diagnosis, it turned out to be just acute enteritis, but in a more serious condition.

“Weakness is normal, are pulled to dehydration can not be weak? Acute enteritis is something that comes and goes quickly, it’s best to go home and take your time with the congee to recuperate.” The doctor rested his gold-rimmed glasses, “Isn’t it more comfortable to stay at home than in the hospital?”

Home? She can’t even walk like this, how can she go back? Besides, if she wants to go back now, she can only go back to the demon’s place, he wants to drug her to death, I’m afraid that her body will be left without bones if she goes back like this, “No need, I’d rather stay in the hospital to be safer.”

“Hospitals are not shelters.” The doctor frowned in displeasure, “It’s almost time to be discharged, there are patients sicker than you waiting for beds.”

Shit, so he wanted her to move her bed!

Knowing that some hospitals will drive patients away, some because of the lack of medical resources, some because there are diseases that can’t be prescribed with good drugs, so they try to drive people away to free up space for those who are not seriously ill but are willing to spend money on patients, to prescribe good medicines, to create benefits.

She now lives in the city’s largest hospital, there is simply a lack of medical resources. Thinking about it this way, it would be the latter, and immediately her opinion of the white angel in front of her plummeted to the Manaia Trench. She couldn’t help but scan the nameplate on the doctor’s chest a few more times, Lin Jue, the name is quite nice, why is the person so bad na. Look at that age is not too big, do things also too inferior, too eager to make quick profits.

Ya Xiao’s face immediately became unsightly, woodenly, “Dr. Lin, I just don’t feel well right now, and I don’t want to be discharged yet. Besides, I don’t even have the strength to move, how can I go back.”

“Where’s your family, weren’t you carried in by your family that day?” Dr. Lin’s eyeglass lenses flashed, “Where is everyone?”

What? Could it be that he wanted someone to carry her back again by carrying her? Wait, what did this guy say about family members? Who’s talking about whose family?

She was on fire, “Who said he was my family? I don’t have that kind of unlucky family, he’s the one who caused my intestinal inflammation! I’ll sue him for poisoning! Poisoning!”

Dr. Lin laughed, “Hey, this is not your spirit quite good well, so full of gas …… little two quarrel a normal, what to talk about poisoning.”

“I’m serious, it is his poisoning caused me to almost pull the intestines through ah doctor!” She was so sad and angry that she could not be named, “You can check my blood, there is no poisonous substance inside!”

“What poisoning or not, you induced acute enteritis because of improper diet, you ate too much grease!” Dr. Lin is not surprised, “Besides, your intestines are only inflamed, and not broken …… Even if it is broken, just patch it up, what’s the big fuss about it.”

Mend a patch on the line? She was so angry that her eyes were dizzy, “Dr. Lin, you think that human intestines are tires, just patch it up when you say so.”

“Is there a difference?” Dr. Lin didn’t even lift his head, “It all looks the same to me.”

Sure enough, there’s a reason why some people say that doctors are legitimate executioners who don’t even have to be responsible for slashing open a person’s stomach.

“Looking at you like this you should be able to recover soon, there’s nothing wrong ask your family to come and do the discharge procedures this afternoon.” Dr. Lin put the medical record folder down, “There are no beds for patients much more serious than you out there, consider it a good deed.”

Liar, you unscrupulous doctor don’t want her to move her bed. She rolled her eyes and very sharply lifted the quilt to wrap herself up, “Let’s wait until I feel better, right now I don’t want to move.”

“What’s wrong with young people nowadays, this little illness and pain can’t be carried ……” Dr. Lin muttered and went out, his tone was very dissatisfied.

“What the heck, talk about young people, you’re not too big yourself.” She poked her head out from under the covers, “Acting all old-fashioned.”

“Dr. Lin is not very old, but his fame is true.” The aunt in the next bed laughed, “Your case is indeed not serious.”

“It’s the temper.” Ya Xiao bared her teeth and grinned, “Saying something about intestines being like tires, what kind of words are these …… By the way, auntie, what kind of disease are you suffering from.”

“Appendicitis, the day before yesterday after the operation.” Auntie’s face is still slightly pale, “recovered almost, tomorrow intends to leave the hospital. This hospital ward is tight, as soon as we can see the situation, we’ll arrange for discharge.”

She looked around the room, this double ward is not big but also has all the essentials, neat and clean, in a hospital of this level the charges are not low. If the beds were really in short supply, then I’m afraid it would take a bit of effort to be stuffed into a ward like this. Mo is not that demon …… ah, even if he struggles to stuff it, it should be, it is all because of him! She shook her head, no words to find words, “Appendicitis open surgery ah. Quite serious.”

“Oh, it’s not that serious, it’s just a minor surgery. In the doctor’s opinion, this kind of surgery is not even worth mentioning.” Auntie smiled broadly, “It’s just that my family sees it as serious, that’s why I’m nervous. By the way, where’s your boyfriend? Why haven’t I seen him here today?”

“That demon – uh, that mixed – well, that guy? I don’t know.” She didn’t get angry, “It’s all because of him that I’ve inflamed my intestines.”

“I think the young man is quite good, listen to the nurse on duty, he was barefoot carrying you in, that nervous look.” Auntie is also very gossip, “looks really handsome ah.”

“Handsome? He that is–” Well, according to the normal aesthetic point of view is indeed very handsome, but also more than half a star. But no matter how handsome he is, he can’t hide his bad nature and black heart, “It’s useless to be handsome if you have a bad character.”

“The young man is a good person,” said the aunt, “when you first came here, not to mention the multi-bedroom, even the corridor has no temporary beds. He’s lucky to have you here. Last night he sat by your bedside to watch over you all night without closing his eyes, and he didn’t leave until this morning.”

“…… Auntie, you’re talking about an alien.” That man would watch over her all night without closing his eyes? Thinking with my toes was impossible.

“You this little girl really, quarrel also can’t treat the boyfriend improperly.”

“…… That demon is not my boyfriend!”

“You see you see, and do not see him as a person is not? Little girl, I’m also your age to come over, male and female friends, and occasionally joke about a twist or can be, over the top is not good.” Auntie laughed for a while and then put on her glasses and read a magazine.

Ya Xiao depressed straight want to gnaw the corner of the quilt, can not everyone see that the nature of the man is an evil demon? Or is it that the man’s face has been practiced to perfection, and his acting skills are like those of an Oscar-winning actor? The more she thought about it, the more depressed she was, she rolled over, suddenly remembered something and climbed up, “Auntie, do you have a cell phone, can I borrow it to make a call?”

Auntie smiled apologetically, “No, the cell phone was taken away by my child, saying that it is radioactive or something. But there is a public phone outside, but it’s on the first floor, can you go down like this?”

“What floor is this?”

“Seventh floor. And the elevator is being serviced these days, so sometimes it stops running and you have to climb the stairs.” Auntie looked at her with some concern, “Why don’t you wait for my children to come and borrow a cell phone to call you. Do you have something important to do?”

“Uh, okay la.” She thought about it, but decided to pull a call to Tuanzi first, there was one thing she’d better instruct her to help with.

When she managed to climb up to the first floor on her weak legs, the moment she saw the payphone was almost as if she had a cow inside her. When she finally picked up the phone the moment, can not help but look at the sky with emotion, and then …… really full of internal ox face.

The wall next to the pay phone is posted a warm tip: please coin call!

Gross, she has no money on her body ah ……

She stood frozen for a long time by the payphone, an unnamed grief and anger welled up from the bottom of her heart – did she climb down from the seventh floor with great difficulty just to take a look at the payphone? Or should she climb back up to the seventh floor, get the money, climb down again, make the call and climb back up again? But, would that demon leave her money? If she didn’t have any money, would she have climbed for nothing?

She twisted the phone cord in a tangled knot, glancing to the side to see the people coming and going all in a hurry. She hesitated for nearly half a minute, opening her mouth several times to speak but in the end only letting out a long sigh. Turning to put the phone away, she half bent over in frustration and covered her stomach as she slowly shuffled up the stairs.

She still wasn’t used to borrowing money from strangers. Come on, she’d better be good and go back and wait for Auntie’s kid to come and borrow the phone.

The seventh floor was not too high, not too low. Earlier, when I went downstairs, because I had the energy to support me, I didn’t have to work hard. Now up the stairs is a burden, Ya Xiao holding the handrail slowly climbed up, every corner of the first floor to stop and rest, walk and stop and also a sweat.

Finally is gone to the ward door, but saw the first is still resting aunt is now packing things, can not help but be curious, “Auntie, you are going to be discharged from the hospital?”

“Yes, the original said tomorrow, but there are some things at home, I think it is better to leave the hospital earlier, besides I am also almost done.” Auntie put the fruit basket at the bedside on her side, “This is my colleague’s gift, fresh, it’s inconvenient for me to bring it with me, so I gave it to you.”

She felt warm at once, and actually stammered a little, very embarrassed.

“By the way, the cell phone is here, you want to call quickly call, my child went to do the discharge formalities will soon be back.” Auntie handed a pink cell phone to her hand, see her face chi, thought her body is still uncomfortable, “small girl family’s future days are still long, the body should be well maintained, do not let adults worry.”

Ya Xiao lowered her head, but the phone was turned over in her hand for a while and returned it, whispering, “Thank you, auntie, thank you.”

“What are you polite for, the phone does not call?”

“No.” She smiled, “It’s just an unimportant incident, it’s fine if I don’t call.” After Auntie left, she sat alone on the bed for a long time, she wanted to go out for a walk, but her legs had been weak and she couldn’t lift her strength, and her mood was inexplicably low. Sometimes she wanted to be alone and think about things quietly. But some things do not want to be already, the more you think about it is the more chaotic. She hung her head, letting her long hair fall into a curtain to hide her face. Her legs were bent up in a triangle under the covers, her forehead resting on her knees, looking quiet and sad.

He stood quietly in the doorway, watching the lonely, sad silhouette for a long time without moving a step forward. He had never seen her like this, like a dead volcano after an eruption, slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea after losing all its power, with a kind of nameless sadness.

Placing the thermos in his hand on the counter, his voice was incredibly soft, “There’s porridge, have some?” It was completely consultative in tone.

She looked up at him and lowered her head to think, “I don’t want to eat now.”

He didn’t think so, and raised his hand to slowly comb her hair with his fingers in an intimate motion. At first she dodged it, cooing, “I didn’t wash my hair.” She felt uncomfortable with her greasy hair, and what made her even more uncomfortable was his attitude, it was too gentle and creepy.

“Observe for a few more days and go back when there’s nothing wrong.” He said gently, “The doctor said your stomach and intestines are very fragile right now, you can only recuperate first.”

“As you wish, I can still only eat fasting and congee.” She was not amused.

“I did tell you that you can’t eat.” He reminded, “But you couldn’t listen at the time is all.”

Nonsense, death to those who block me from eating meat! She didn’t even bother to talk to him, if it wasn’t for him banning her meat, would she have been reduced to the point where her stomach was so poor that she didn’t have access to oil and water? The root of the problem is caused by him, and now come to pretend to be a good person …… is not rare!

Hearing her tone of voice is not good, he only had to change the topic, “Who sent this fruit basket?”

“The aunt next door, she left it for me to eat when she got out of the hospital.” She was a little breathless, “Auntie is nice.”

“It’s because you think it’s inconvenient to carry it.” He swept a glance, “You can eat this kind of thing?” Not afraid of perforated intestines either.

She sounded offended, “Why don’t you people think of people in a favorable light? People send it with good intentions, what do you have to dislike.”

“If you really want to send something, you have to send something practical, like this is totally polite stuff.” He picked up the fruit basket and put it aside, “It’s just superficial.”

She was furious, “Even if it’s superficial, at least I can feel their kindness. Besides, I’m not related to her, so why should they make superficial efforts with me.”

He couldn’t expect her reaction to be so intense, slowly stopping his hand movements, turning his head to look at her thoughtfully for a long time, “I don’t want to argue with you over a basket of fruit, you’re still sick.” His tone in the latter sentence was slightly aggravated, as if he was warning her.

“Yeah, I forgot I’m still sick.” She smiled to herself, “Then again, why do I feel like I’ve been particularly unlucky lately.” Ever since she met this man her luck had not plummeted but simply disappeared, she felt as if she had fallen into an illegal small coal kiln and her future was in the dark.

“Go to the temple and worship.”

“Uh……” This man actually believes in worship? It’s unbelievable.

“Go and worship,” he repeated, “if you really feel bad luck.”

“…… That, I want to ask you, you eat vegetarian because of worship, right? Do you worship …… Guanyin?”

“Guan second master.”

“Guan …… Second Master?” Gross, do you have to be a vegetarian to worship the Second Master?

“Lying to you.” Sure enough, she should have known that he was an unreliable man.

Seeing her face a burst of red, a burst of green, a burst of white, his lips floated up a very shallow smile, “Now there is still any place uncomfortable?”

“There is.”

“Where is it uncomfortable?”

“The ears.”

“Ears?”

“You’re suddenly talking so uh …… perversely that my ears are expressing a lot of stress.” She scratched her arm, “Look at that, I have goosebumps.” She watched his expression as she spoke, seeing that his face was unchanged, but his lips were pursed slightly and his gaze flickered slightly.

She had always thought that he was a cold and stern person, coupled with the fact that he didn’t like to smile, so his features looked hard-lined and a bit unapproachable, and he was practically a Martian distance away from the fancy beautiful men and whatnot that were so popular at the moment. But his eyes are the most flavorful she has ever seen, his pupils are pure black, like the ink gathered in the ink stone, calm and deep. The eye shape is somewhat similar to the classical beauty of the Danfeng eyes, the corner of the eye slightly up, quite some peach blossom meaning. If he squints at people, the slightly raised eyebrows and the bright and sharp light from the end of his eyes always make people dare not look directly at him. In a man’s eyes, he will immediately feel that he is not where to offend him, causing him displeasure. But in a woman’s eyes, it is very likely to become something like ‘free in the evening, let’s find a place to talk.’ Such a hint.

Sultry!

She made a conclusion in her heart, and thus also nailed down this man’s temperament – this man was not only stuffy but also twisted, and while twisted, he was also a bit twitchy. Just like now, he didn’t even look like himself, he was an alien from the planet Namek.

At this time, Ya Xiao still did not understand whether Shan Yan Xiu’s sudden change was due to the brain invasion of an alien planetary species or whether he was intermittently suffering from the problem of tics, but after a few days, she would definitely feel that no matter whether it was a sultry demon or a twisted demon or even a demon that tics to the point of dancing the Kang Kang dance, those were all lovely.

Compared to those, the thunderous demon sins are the great evils of awkwardness.
