Chapter 36 So he was a cripple after all.

"Why do we always have to queue?" Heng Xing straightened up and looked at the long queue in front of him, then bent down and leaned over the control panel.

Yu Nianqing: "Most of the annual leave ends in mid-February, so it's quite normal for there to be a lot of people now."

"By the way, Captain Heng, have you contacted Professor Wen?"

Hengxing: "Yes, she told me to get a full physical exam, and I've already booked it on the hospital's website."

She showed him the terminal. "Professor Wen said she has a small apartment in the dormitory building behind the hospital, and she can rent it to us for a week or two if we need it."

"Yes, these are the photos she sent us. It's roughly a one-bedroom, two-living room, one-bathroom apartment with a small balcony. There's no kitchen, but that's not important. The hospital has a cafeteria, or we can have intravenous nutrition. Mr. Yu, what do you think?"

Yu Nianqing stood up. "Sure, that way we won't have to keep running around. It'll be much more convenient."

"I'll go and organize my things now."

"Okay, I'll come and get you when the spaceship stops," Heng Xing said.

Yu Nianqing: "Don't you need to prepare anything?"

"My things are all in the space button, no need to pack, you can go."

The spaceship in front moved slowly for about ten meters, and she followed it in manual control.

After waiting another half hour, the spaceship finally landed successfully on the ground in the port.

Heng Xing went to the guest room and called Yu Nianqing to leave together.

The moment she opened the hatch, she immediately pulled out a scarf and hat and put them on. "Yula Star feels colder."

Yu Nianqing walked down the steps. "Indeed."

Looking around, he suddenly realized that the location where the spaceship was parked looked somewhat familiar.

Hengxing: "A little surprise, we stopped in the same spot as last time."

Yu Nianqing: "What about that old spaceship?"

Heng Xing: "It was probably towed away and disposed of. I saw its redemption notice on the port's official website, but I figured it wasn't worth 100,000 star coins, so I didn't bother with it anymore."

The two walked into the glass passageway, and Heng Xing looked back at the spot where the spaceship that had kidnapped Yu Nianqing was parked.

She asked, "Mr. Yu, are you sure you're safe now?"

Yu Nianqing hesitated slightly, "Probably."

This was deduced based on his understanding of Yu's translation.

Hengxing didn't say anything more.

After boarding the aircraft, the two went directly to the hospital. Upon arrival, they disembarked and wandered around the hospital like headless flies, not knowing where to go.

She pulled Yu Nianqing to a place to sit down, took out her terminal to look at the map, and sent a message to Professor Wen to ask where to go.

"Professor Wen said she found a student to mentor us."

Hengxing looked up at him and said.

As soon as they finished speaking, a young female T-Beta wearing a bunny hat walked up to them. "Are you Professor Wen's friends?"

Heng Xing: "It should be us."

"Hello everyone, I'm Teacher Wen's student. My name is Chi Qingyi, you can just call me Xiao Chi." Rabbit Hat introduced herself to them enthusiastically. She had round eyes and a cute, infectious smile.

Yu Nianqing smiled and introduced herself and Heng Xing to her.

"I'll take you to the dormitory first to familiarize you with the way, and then we'll come back for the physical examination." Chi Qingyi handed each of them a light blue card that read "Yula Hospital Free Access Card".

"Scratch off the coating on this card, then open the access card program on your terminal, enter the number on it in the blank box, and after verification, you can use your terminal to ride the hospital's internal flying vehicle for free."

The two followed her onto the aircraft parked by the roadside, its exterior painted with blue stripes. They learned from her how to swipe the terminal on the display screen and select the hospital dormitory as their destination.

"Professor Wen's dormitory is in Building 6, Room 903. Hey, come with me, the elevator is here." She jogged into the elevator, pressed the button, and called them over quickly.

"Xiao Chi?" There was already someone waiting in the elevator before her.

"Teacher Lin!" She turned around and said, "Good morning. Are you taking the morning off?"

Lin He replied, "No, I came back to get something."

"Who...is this?"

Chi Qingyi's smile faded slightly. "These are new patients at the hospital. They want to rent Professor Wen's house, and Professor Wen asked me to take them to see it."

Yu Nianqing walked into the spacious elevator lobby and found that Chi Qingyi was not as relaxed as before. She was chatting respectfully with a female Alpha in a white coat next to her.

As he stepped into the elevator, the female Alpha's gaze swept over his entire body from below, making him feel very uncomfortable. So when Heng Xing walked in, he shrank into a corner without moving, using Captain Heng to separate the two of them.

Hengxing was already used to these little quirks of Omegas, and tacitly turned to the side to block him completely.

The elevator went up, and there was only silence in the elevator lobby.

"Hello, I am Lin He from the Department of Orthopedics at Yula Hospital."

Perhaps feeling awkward, the doctor in the white coat reached out his hand to her.

She's an expert in orthopedics.

She had undergone an amputation a few months ago.

She politely returned the handshake, saying, "Hello."

Noticing that the other person's eyes kept glancing behind her, Hengxing frowned slightly and casually started a conversation with her, "Dr. Lin, you live here too?"

Lin He: "Of course, this is, after all, a dormitory assigned to the medical staff by the hospital."

Hengxing said "Oh," and added, "I thought everyone would buy houses outside the hospital to live in."

Or they could live in a luxury apartment within the hospital grounds; Professor Wen lives there.

Lin He: "It's more convenient to stay in the hospital."

Yu Nianqing laughed silently, hidden in Hengxing's shadow.

He knew Captain Heng was mocking her for not being able to buy a house like Professor Wen, subtly implying that she was poor, but the man didn't catch it.

Captain Heng is usually very gentle with strangers and wouldn't speak so sarcastically; it's obvious he was doing this for him.

Thinking of this, he felt a sweet warmth in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't be turned down. Luckily, the scarf covered them so that no one could see it.

The elevator reached the ninth floor, and Lin He walked ahead enthusiastically, "Dr. Wen's apartment is right next to mine, I'll take you to see it."

Chi Qingyi followed behind him, muttering to herself.

She had heard Dr. Lin's graduate students complain that he always dumped miscellaneous tasks on the students, while he himself was a carefree manager who also withheld his stipends.

strangeness,

Why is Dr. Lin being so kind today?

"This is the place. From now on, we'll be neighbors. See you later."

After greeting them, Lin He swiped her terminal to open the door and entered room 904.

"Teacher Wen has already entered your terminal information into your access cards. Just swipe your terminal like Dr. Lin did just now," Chi Qingyi said.

Yu Nianqing stepped forward and pressed the terminal onto the door card. With a "beep", the door opened.

The two went inside and briefly familiarized themselves with the environment before following Chi Qingyi to undergo a medical examination.

"Ms. Heng, you need to remove all metal from your body before entering the testing chamber," the doctor in the testing room instructed Heng Xing.

Yu Nianqing: "Captain Heng, take off your terminal and space button. I'll keep them for you and give them back to you when we come out."

After hearing this, Hengxing took off the terminal and ring-shaped spatial button from his wrist and gave them to him.

"Alright, go ahead, Captain Heng, I'll wait for you outside."

Yu Nianqing put her things away and saw her standing at the door hesitating, not going in. She asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Along the way, Chi Qingyi had become familiar with them.

Seeing this, she also spoke up, "Don't worry, Sister Heng, our hospital's equipment is very safe, nothing will happen."

The doctor adjusted his glasses, finding her slow and indecisive behavior, typical of an Alpha, quite annoying. But when he looked up and saw her face, he asked softly, "Do you have claustrophobia?"

"Don't worry, our equipment isn't completely sealed. We can even play an episode of your favorite cartoon during the inspection."

Heng Xing raised a hand to tidy her messy curly hair. "Can't I wear any metal at all, inside or out?"

"Of course!"

The doctor's gaze grew increasingly unfathomable. "Is there anything else inserted inside you?"

Her language became increasingly dangerous: "Then hurry up and go to the bathroom to get it."

Chi Qingyi, who was already an adult, understood immediately and covered her mouth in shock.

You can know a person's face but not their heart; I never imagined that Sister Heng's heart was the same color as her hair.

Yu Nianqing: ?

"Captain Heng, you need to explain yourself quickly."

Hengxing didn't know why their thoughts were so divergent, so she quickly said, "No, my right leg is a mechanical leg, and I can't take it off myself."

Upon hearing this, the doctor regained his calm and indifferent expression, "Oh, is that so? You can go to the orthopedics department to have it removed first, then come back."

Heng Xing's lips twitched.

Why do you look so disappointed?

Chi Qingyi remained expressionless. "Oh, I see. Sis, the orthopedics department is over there."

Why are you so disappointed too?

Are you really a legitimate hospital?

"What on earth is going on in their heads?" Heng Xing whispered to Yu Nianqing.

Yu Nianqing stroked her hair as usual, "They're probably under too much pressure. By the way, Captain Heng, you didn't mention to me that your right leg is a mechanical leg."

"I'd almost forgotten myself," Heng Xing said. "I was in a traffic accident before, and my right leg was amputated. So I got a prosthetic leg to replace it."

Yu Nianqing looked at her with heartache, "How could this happen? Does it hurt a lot when you walk?"

Hengxing gently patted his shoulder, "No, I don't feel anything."

The on-call doctor in the orthopedics department today was Lin He, whom I had just met. She listened to Chi Qingyi's request with a smile and then asked Heng Xing to go into the inner room.

Hengxing sat on the white bed, frowning and looking up at the ceiling.

The mechanical leg is connected to nerves, and removing the mechanical leg is just as painful as installing it in the first place.

Therefore, she missed the fleeting sneer in Lin He's eyes.

So he was a cripple.
