Chapter 55

It was 8:30 p.m., and the sky was completely dark.

After Xu Feifei finished eating her porridge and rested for a while, Lin Yuan said, "Let's go, let's go to the hospital now."

Zhang Jiayi chimed in, "Ah! Then I'll go with you. It's not very safe for two girls to go to the hospital."

Xu Feifei glanced at her phone and said, "It's already 8:30. Aside from the emergency room doctors, they've probably all gone home by now, right?"

“Let’s go to Hospital C, where they have shift workers.”

"Campus C? Where is Campus C?"

"C Hospital is the hospital where your aunt was sick last time, don't you remember?"

"Auntie? Which auntie?"

Xu Feifei racked her brains but couldn't remember any aunt. It seemed like she had never met any of her relatives since she came to this world, and she rarely even saw her father, who was always busy with business and social engagements.

"Lin Yuan, do you know Xu Feifei's aunt?" Zhang Jiayi interjected from the side.

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something, her expression flashed, and she abruptly changed the subject, saying, "It's getting late, let's hurry back."

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't bring it up, Xu Feifei took the opportunity to say, "Okay, let's go now."

Zhang Jia also said happily, "Let's go!"

After putting on her shoes, Xu Feifei was about to leave when she saw the flowers and fruit basket on the cabinet. A little hesitantly, she said, "What will happen to these things if we all leave?"

Lin Yuan glanced at it but didn't say anything.

Zhang Jiayi scratched his head and said, "How about I take these and accompany you to the hospital?"

Xu Feifei laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be too heavy to carry around? And it's a hassle to bring it back. How about I take it back to the dorm and then go to the hospital?"

Lin Yuan said from the side, "Leave it here for now, we'll get it when we come back."

"Great idea!" Zhang Jia also praised.

Xu Feifei nodded in agreement.

Lin Yuan booked a ride online and had just left the school gate when Zhang Jiayi received a call. After hanging up, Zhang Jiayi's expression was not good, and his face was full of worry.

Upon seeing this, Xu Feifei asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Something happened at my house, and they told me to come over right away."

"Then you should go back quickly."

Zhang Jia was caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

Lin Yuan said, "Don't waste time, I'll stay with Feifei."

Zhang Jia sighed deeply and said with a heavy heart, "If anything happens, you can call me and I will come as soon as possible."

Xu Feifei nodded and urged, "Okay, go ahead."

Zhang Jia also hailed a taxi and left with great reluctance.

The taxi had just left when the online ride-hailing service arrived. Xu Feifei glanced in the direction the taxi had gone, feeling a little worried.

After Lin Yuan confirmed that the vehicle was correct, she let Xu Feifei get in.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the hospital entrance. Xu Feifei had just gotten out of the car when she looked at the familiar hospital entrance. Was this really the hospital she had just transmigrated into? After so many days, revisiting this place, her feelings were a bit complicated.

Lin Yuan saw her standing still and asked, "Feifei, what's wrong?"

"It's alright, so this is C Campus!"

Xu Feifei looked around the hospital. The scenery was exactly the same as before, unchanged. Well, it had only been a few months, not years, so it was normal that nothing had changed.

Looking back at the departing car, another scene suddenly flashed into her mind. Her aunt... she remembered.

"Lin Yuan, have you met my aunt before?"

Lin Yuan did not answer immediately. She stared at the gate in front of her and thought for a long time before saying, "No, I have heard Lin Yuan talk about your relationship before."

"Huh?" Xu Feifei stared at her incredulously.

Did you tell me the specific hospital?

"Mm." Lin Yuan nodded gently.

"You and your brother have such a good relationship! Did you tell your brother about all the times we spent together?" Xu Feifei asked anxiously.

Lin Yuan was taken aback, then denied it, "No. Let's go get a CT scan first, otherwise it will be too late to get back."

When Xu Feifei found out, she was relieved.

Although she had stayed here for a few days before, she still didn't understand the hospital's specific operations and couldn't tell which departments were where.

Her mother had handled everything, with medical staff accompanying her. At the time, she was only focused on getting back and didn't pay much attention, so now that she's back in the same place, she's completely clueless.

"Feifei, wait for me here. I'll go register first, okay?" Lin Yuan asked her to wait in her seat.

Just as Xu Feifei was about to say no, her eyes inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure, like the one monitoring her!

"Okay. Lin Yuan, I'm going to the restroom first."

Do you know where the restroom is? Do you want me to go with you?

"No need! I can read the icons, I'll be back soon." After saying that, Xu Feifei waved her hand and hurriedly walked towards the corridor where the figure was.

Lin Yuan was a little puzzled by Xu Feifei's hurried manner, but seeing that she was indeed heading in the direction of the restroom, she didn't think much of it. She went upstairs to register with the nurse and record her information.

Xu Feifei watched the person slip into the restroom, and she quickly followed. The closer she got to the restroom, the more nervous she became, her eardrums filled with the pounding of her heart.

Arriving at the restroom, he hesitated for a moment at the door before peeking inside. Finding the person was gone, he hurriedly went in.

A slightly trembling voice asked, "Who are you?"

There was no response from inside.

Because it was nighttime, the hospital was exceptionally quiet. The overhead lights were somewhat dim, and as you passed the cubicles, the lighting perfectly defined the boundary between the cubicles and the sinks.

Xu Feifei stood beside the dividing line, the light shining on her fearful yet resolute face as they stood facing each other.

Are you inside?

There was still no response after a long time.

Xu Feifei took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and walked inside. As she stepped across the beam of light, the light emanating from her body dimmed slightly.

She pushed open the doors of several empty cubicles but found nothing suspicious. She went to the last cubicle; this was the only one left, and it should be here.

"I know you're hiding in there. Stop playing tricks and come out now." Xu Feifei's voice trembled slightly, and she kept a safe distance, walking far away. She was ready to run away at the first sign of trouble.

After a long while, there was still no sound.

Xu Feifei's heart pounded, and she nervously swallowed. Mustering her courage, she took a few steps forward, gritted her teeth, and pushed open the door.

The moment the door opened, a foul smell hit me hard in the face, and my eyes were assaulted.

"Holy crap, it's shit!"

Xu Feifei almost vomited on the spot. She pulled up her collar to cover her mouth and nose and dry-heaved by the sink. She almost threw up the porridge in her stomach several times. Her eyes were red and tears were welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"*#&^*"

This hospital is supposed to be a high-end private hospital, so how come its hygiene is so poor? Xu Feifei couldn't bear to recall the scene just now; the thought made her want to vomit.

“yue”

After getting her number, Lin Yuan waited in the courtyard hall for a long time, but Xu Feifei didn't return. She also received no reply to her messages, so she went outside the restroom and called out to her, somewhat worried.

A soft, tentative voice called from outside, "Feifei, are you in there?"

Although her voice was soft, Xu Feifei still heard it. So she responded loudly, "I'll be right out."

Hearing Xu Feifei's voice, Lin Yuan felt relieved and said, "Okay."

Xu Feifei turned on the tap and quickly washed her hands. After washing her hands, she went to the hand dryer and saw a piece of paper on it that read: "See you next Saturday at the East Lake Pavilion. Remember to come alone, don't tell anyone else."

Xu Feifei was startled. Could it be a message left by that person?

"Feifei?" Lin Yuan urged again from outside.

"Okay, coming right away!"

Xu Feifei wrapped the paper in a tissue and stuffed it haphazardly into her pocket.

After Lin Yuan saw her come out, she looked her over and, after confirming that she was alright, said, "We need to hurry, it's almost your turn."

"Okay, let's go quickly then."

Recalling the scene in the bathroom, Xu Feifei couldn't help but complain, "Let me tell you, it was absolutely ridiculous. I just randomly pushed open a door and got lucky. There was a huge, disgusting pile of unflushed poop inside. It was so disgusting that I almost threw up the porridge I ate that night."

Lin Yuan frowned after hearing this. "How disgusting! Are you feeling better now?"

"As long as I don't think about that scene, I'll be fine. By the way, where are we going now?" Xu Feifei stopped halfway and asked.

"Go to the third floor."

The two went to the radiology department on the third floor and saw a doctor sitting inside. After they entered, the doctor asked, "What's your name?"

"Xu Feifei," Xu Feifei replied, handing the documents in her hand to the doctor.

After taking the documents, the doctor checked them on the computer and said, "Take out any extra items from your pockets and go to that small room to remove any clothing with metal objects inside. You can put them back on after the examination."

"Okay." Xu Feifei nodded blankly, took everything out of her pockets and handed it to Lin Yuan. Then she went into the room the doctor indicated and took off the clothes with metal parts.

After she came out, the doctor led her into another room, instructed Xu Feifei to lie on the bed and get into position, then went out, closed the door, and operated the equipment next to her.

As the bed was slowly pushed in, Xu Feifei felt inexplicably nervous, and she involuntarily held her breath, not daring to breathe too heavily.

Lin Yuan waited patiently outside for the inspection, holding Xu Feifei's phone and other things in her hand.

After a long while, the doctor said it was okay. Xu Feifei got out of bed, went to the small room, and put her clothes back on.

Lin Yuan walked over to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, is she alright?"

The doctor looked at the photos on the computer and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong."

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the doctor's words.

Xu Feifei finished dressing and came out, asking, "Is everything alright?"

"No," Lin Yuan said.

“I told you there was no problem,” Xu Feifei said with a smile.

"Your things." Lin Yuan handed the things back to her.

Xu Feifei took it and said, "I love you, hahaha."

"By the way, do you want me to throw this crumpled piece of paper away for you?"

Xu Feifei looked at the crumpled paper in Lin Yuan's hand; it was something she had taken from the restroom earlier. She took it from Lin Yuan, saying, "No need, just give it to me."

Lin Yuan looked at Xu Feifei's flustered expression with suspicion and asked, "Is this something important?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Feifei said, "It's nothing important, just some tissues I want to use to dry my hands after washing them."

Lin Yuan nodded calmly and said, "Throw this away. I have some new tissues here. You can call me if you need any."

"No need, this is clean. I'll call you when I need it."

Xu Feifei lowered her eyes, crumpled the tissue into a ball, and put it in her pocket.

See you at East Lake next Saturday.
