"So what? I love you! I love everything about you, including your past and present!" Gu Lingxiao hugged him. "I'll give you time to think it over, and you can also test me."
This time, Lu Zhixia took the initiative to hug the man's waist, and she no longer needed to hold back.
Fu Yanlin saw the nurse about to go over and reached out to stop her, saying, "Comrade, please wait a moment before you go over."
"What's wrong?" the nurse asked him.
Fu Yanlin pointed ahead and said, "They're confessing their feelings to each other!"
"Ah!" The nurse exclaimed in surprise, then joined in watching the commotion.
This is much better than watching a movie; it instantly fills me with happiness.

Guo Chen walked back to his place, then went to the counter to get a few bottles of wine and sat on the bed drinking, gulping them down one after another, as if he wanted to drink himself to death.
Maybe if I die, I can start over—
——
Lu Zhixia sensed someone watching her, gently pushed the person away, and turned around to see two onlookers laughing. She immediately felt incredibly embarrassed and quickly told Gu Lingxiao...
"Let's go to the guesthouse!"
"Okay!" Gu Lingxiao replied, waving to Fu Yanlin over, not wanting him to think he was unaware of the commotion he'd been watching for so long.
He noticed it the moment it was there.
Fu Yanlin walked over to meet them, and then they walked out of the hospital together.
"It's almost dawn," Fu Yanlin said.
Gu Lingxiao checked his watch; it was a little past four in the morning. He calculated the time difference and realized that even if he checked in, he wouldn't have much time to rest before having to leave.
Lu Zhixia suggested, "Why don't we go directly to the hospital, wait for Lao Ma to finish his questioning at work, then take a car to the train station, get on the train, and sleep there?"
Gu Lingxiao: "That will be very tiring."
Lu Zhixia looked up and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I'm still whoever I am."
Just then, a car drove by from a short distance away, and several people got out and helped another person to the hospital.
Fu Yanlin strode over and asked the driver, "Still running errands?"
The driver saw two injured men, clearly from a fight, and a woman following behind them, which reassured him considerably.
"Still running? Where do you think you're going?"
Gu Lingxiao walked over and said, "Take us to the Women and Children's Hospital."
"Going so early in the morning?" The driver looked puzzled.
They got into the car one after another, and the driver had no choice but to drive; it would be foolish not to make money.
They arrived at the maternity and children's hospital quickly. After parking the car, the driver told them...
"Just give me three yuan."
Gu Lingxiao and Fu Yanlin handed over the money at the same time.
It was rare to encounter someone eager to pay the bill; after glancing left and right, they accepted the money from the passenger in the front seat.
Fu Yanlin said to Gu Lingxiao with a smug look on his face, "Just treat me to a meal next time."
"Okay, I owe you a meal," Gu Lingxiao said.
So they got out of the car, and Fu Yanlin said to them,
"I'm going to see my sister; she's being discharged from the hospital today."
"Go ahead! Don't worry about us."
Fu Yanlin, knowing they might be leaving today, said, "Brother, let me know when you're at the wedding, I'll definitely be there!"
Seeing him extend his fist, Gu Lingxiao extended his own fist and bumped it with his.
"Okay, I'll tell you."
Fu Yanlin turned and went into the hospital with a satisfied expression. All good things must come to an end. They had been through life and death together twice and could be considered friends who had shared life and death.
After discussing it, Gu Lingxiao and Lu Zhixia sat on the recliners in the hospital lobby waiting for Dr. Ma to start work. Their luggage, plus the two large bags of things they bought at the wholesale market, looked quite conspicuous.
Lu Zhixia started yawning soon after sitting down; she was getting sleepy.
Gu Lingxiao said, "If you're tired, just lean on my shoulder and take a nap."
Lu Zhixia said, "I'll try to hold on a little longer, otherwise it won't look good if someone sees us."
Gu Lingxiao: "Who cares what others think? As long as I'm comfortable, that's all that matters."
Lu Zhixia thought this made sense. Sometimes people overthink things. If they were more carefree, wouldn't they be more comfortable living?
Before she knew it, she was drifting off to sleep, and she closed her eyes and squinted.
Gu Lingxiao reached out and put his arm around her waist, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.
After the truth was revealed, he just wanted to treat her even better.
Finally, the doctors started working, and the hospital became more crowded.
Lu Zhixia was awakened by the baby's crying. She realized she had fallen asleep and quickly rubbed her eyes. She had slept in a way that was both clear-headed and blurry.
"Awake?" Gu Lingxiao asked.
"Hmm, I feel much better after a nap." Lu Zhixia stretched and noticed that there were many more people in the corridor.
Then they saw Ma Jianguo come in from outside, so they quickly went over to him.
Ma Jianguo was pleased to see them. "Why are you here so early?" Then he noticed Gu Lingxiao's bruises. "Who did you get into a fight with?"
Gu Lingxiao: "It was just a minor accident, nothing serious."
Lu Zhixia said, "Dr. Ma, I want to know if you've remembered anything."
Ma Jianguo took out photos and a pre-written note from his bag.
"This is the address of that nurse from back then. I don't know if she still lives there now. She's the seventh person in the middle of the photo. I guess she looks quite different now. That's all I can think of."
Lu Zhixia excitedly took the photo and note, then bowed to the doctor.
"Thank you, Dr. Ma."
Ma Jianguo: "Oh, you don't need to be like that. Actually, if I had looked at the files more carefully back then, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
