"Brother Zhiyi." When Lin Yan saw Gu Zhiyi at the door, she curved her eyes and greeted him naturally.
Gu Zhiyi was a little slow to react and subconsciously looked at Liu Xiuying and Teacher Gu on the other side of the bed.
Lin Yan briefly explained again how she happened to see his back last night, and how she had taken the initiative to check when she couldn't get through on the phone.
Gu Zhiyi also understood, with a look of embarrassment and embarrassment on her face: "I didn't forget the call on purpose. I didn't know what to say at the time, and I was afraid you would find out something."
Last night, Gu Zhiyi spent the entire night on the phone borrowing money, and it was a breakdown. He couldn't hide his emotions in front of Lin Yan.
Lin Yan didn't dwell on this. Thinking of what Gu Zhiyi had said when she entered the ward, she took the initiative to speak again, "The payment you mentioned was just paid by my husband and me. Teacher Gu's wife and I have already discussed it. My husband and I will be responsible for Teacher Gu's wife's treatment this time."
Gu Zhiyi was stunned and subconsciously looked at Teacher Gu and Liu Xiuying. Neither of them objected. Gu Zhiyi was silent for a moment and opened his mouth but said nothing.
Lin Qi didn't stay in Liu Xiuying's ward for too long, mainly because Lin Yan's fever had just subsided and he still had to go get the test results, and he came back empty-handed.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Yan took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye: "It's almost time, we also have to go back and wait for the examination report. Teacher Gu, Madam, I will come to see you next time."
Teacher Gu and Liu Xiuying nodded naturally: "Ayan, go back and pay attention. I'm fine."
Gu Zhiyi saw the two off. As they walked out of the ward and into the corridor, Gu Zhiyi sincerely thanked Lin Yan.
"Thank you, Ayan."
In fact, because of Liu Xiuying, Teacher Gu had already bowed his head, borrowed money from relatives and friends around him, and recently started planning to sell the house.
However, Liu Xiuying was unwilling to sell the house. She was afraid that if she bought the house, her illness would not be cured, and the father and son would end up homeless.
He made a lot of phone calls last night, but only a few were willing to lend him money. It's not that people are heartless, but cancer is not necessarily curable, and in the end he might lose both his money and his life.
And the treatment costs were astronomical, 200,000 yuan in less than a month, while the average salary in their town was only 2,000 yuan.
Facing Gu Zhiyi's sincere apology, Lin Yan smiled and said, "Brother Zhiyi, I should have thanked you back then. Without you back then, there would be no me today."
"You and Teacher Gu don't have to worry about the money. Let's treat Master's wife first."
Gu Zhiyi just said "hmm" and didn't say anything else. He sent the two of them to the stairs and watched them get into the elevator.
The elevator door closed, and Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she was quite afraid that Teacher Gu would insist on not letting her help. Fortunately, Teacher Gu cared more about his wife.
Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan returned to the ward downstairs from the oncology department. Lin Yan's examination report was out, and she had a mild pneumonia.
The doctor suggested that they did not need to be hospitalized and that a few days of anti-inflammatory injections would be enough. Naturally, the two followed the doctor's advice and went through the discharge procedures.
After leaving the hospital, it was already late and it was probably too late to go home for dinner. Lu Jinghuai called Lu Yingqian at home and briefly told her about Lin Yan's condition.
The person on the other end of the phone also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because neither of them knew many restaurants near the hospital, they just went into a relatively clean one.
When ordering food, Lin Yan saw the room delivery service nearby and said something to Lu Jinghuai beside her.
"Teacher Gu and Brother Zhiyi probably haven't eaten yet. How about ordering a couple of dishes for them? With Teacher's wife's situation, they've probably used up most of their savings. We've paid for Teacher's medical expenses, and Teacher Gu and Brother Zhiyi probably won't accept any other help. But Beicheng also needs money for everything besides medical treatment..."
Lin Yan felt a little helpless, but she knew that Teacher Gu also had her own dignity, and she accepted her medical help because of her teacher's wife Liu Xiuying.
After saying this, Lin Yan looked at Lu Jinghuai, but found that Lu Jinghuai's face was not very good.
However, Lu Jinghuai still ordered a few dishes and asked the front desk if they could be delivered to the hospital's oncology department. After confirming that it could be delivered, Lu Jinghuai paid directly.
Then Lu Jinghuai took Lin Yan into the private room. After closing the door, Lin Yan, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but asked.
"Lu Jinghuai, are you unhappy?" Lin Yan's expression was serious, yet also a little disappointed.
Lu Jinghuai snorted coldly and was about to say something when he heard Lin Yan hesitate and said, "You...are you not coming to make me happy? I'm worried about Teacher Gu and his wife."
In an instant, Lu Jinghuai laughed out of anger and couldn't help but raise his hand to pinch Lin Yan's face.
"I'm unhappy that you're worried about Teacher Gu and his wife? You're so heartless. In your heart, am I that kind of person?"
Lin Yan blinked in confusion, and Lu Jinghuai snorted again.
"Teacher Gu and his wife have done you a great favor. It's normal for you to worry about them, but..."
"You call him Brother Zhiyi, but you haven't called me Brother." Lu Jinghuai couldn't help but say it out loud, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but lick the back of his teeth.
Lin Yan felt that she could smell the sour smell in the air, and she instantly understood why Lu Jinghuai was unhappy.
She was silent for a rare moment, but finally couldn't help but speak.
"Are you going to argue about this? Do you want me to call you brother, just like Song Jingya?"
This time it was Lu Jinghuai's turn to remain silent. He pursed his lips and couldn't say a word to defend himself.
Fortunately, the waiter's knock on the door broke the silence, and the waiter came in with the dishes, a simple set of three dishes and a soup.
While eating, Lin Yan suddenly said, "It's mainly because I'm used to calling you Brother Zhiyi. I don't know how to change it. It's weird to suddenly change the name."
The main reason was that she had learned this name from the original owner's memory and followed it. At that time, she was afraid that suddenly changing the name would make Gu Zhiyi feel something was wrong.
Lin Yan thought for a moment and spoke again: "How about I call him Brother Gu? It feels so awkward and unfashionable."
"Brother Jinghuai? Brother Lu? Husband? What do you think?" Lin Yan asked with a smile as she approached Lu Jinghuai.
Lu Jinghuai cleared his throat twice and said, "Brother Zhiyi, just call him Brother Zhiyi. It's just a title. I'm not that stingy."
The main thing is that no matter what Gu Zhiyi thinks of Lin Yan, Lin Yan is already his wife, and there is no need for him to cling to a title.
Lu Jinghuai's "generosity" made Lin Yan stunned for a moment, and then she burst out laughing. She did not remind Lu Jinghuai that the person he was jealous of just now was the "not stingy" him.
The two of them had a simple lunch, and when they came out of the restaurant, they received a thank-you text message from Gu Zhiyi, thanking Lin Yanran for the meal she had sent over, and Teacher Gu also asked them to convey a message that they didn't have to spend so much money next time.
Lin Yan replied briefly, then thought of something and showed the message to Lu Jinghuai.
"A thank you message from Gu Zhiyi."
