Chapter 21 Xincheng Hospital: His fan base isn't just growing, it's growing like crazy. ...
Although He Yuan didn't speak, the system's pop-up plot prompt already indicated that He Yuan was Lin Fengbai.
"After all these years, you're the first person to recognize me."
After saying this, Lin Fengbai's entire demeanor changed.
His appearance changed, he grew taller, and his semi-transparent body gradually solidified.
In the end, Lin Fengbai transformed from a ghost into a human.
As Lin Fengbai changed, almost instantly, the darkness outside dissipated, the sun rose, and golden sunlight blanketed the earth.
Shi Yu and Shen Su's bodies also returned to solid form from their semi-transparent state.
These things seem inexplicable in reality, but they're in a horror game now, so anything is possible.
Lin Fengbai has a face that looks exactly like Lin Qinghe, the president of Xincheng Hospital.
Lin Qinghe gives people a gentle feeling, like a spring breeze, while Lin Fengbai gives people a feeling like a cold wind blowing in the face in the dead of winter.
As dawn broke, the ghosts disappeared, returning from the ghost world to the human world.
The names of the two ghost aunties in beds 2 and 3, as well as the chubby boy in bed 6, have disappeared from the bedside table. No new names have been written on them, so no new people have moved in yet.
The nurse who entered the room was also a human being. She said to the patient in bed number 1, "Chen Su, pack your things and I'll move you to another room."
Shi Yu looked up at Shen Su, and Shen Su also looked down at him.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds across two hospital beds.
Shen Su looked away, turned his head and smiled at the nurse, revealing two small tiger teeth that gave people a feeling of his sincerity: "No, thank you, nurse. I'm used to living here, no need to change."
The nurse's face darkened: "This is the director's order. Please don't make things difficult for me."
Both Shen Su and Shi Yu were taken aback.
The dean's instructions?
That's right, they now belong to different factions, so the system naturally can't let them live together anymore.
Shen Su left with the nurse.
Shi Yu opened the game panel and tried to chat with Shen Su online, but the friend chat function in the game panel was not working.
It was around this time that Shi Yu discovered his fan count had rebounded to 150,000.
No, it's not just 150,000, it's almost 160,000 now.
His fan base isn't just growing, it's growing like crazy.
.
Shen Su was taken by a nurse to a ward on the top floor.
This is a single hospital room with a living room, balcony, open kitchen, ensuite bathroom in the bedroom, and even a small meeting room... Apart from the medical equipment, this hospital room is designed exactly like a business hotel suite.
"This room looks really nice."
Shen Su casually sighed.
“Of course,” the nurse replied. “You are an important guest of our director, and he instructed us to provide you with the most attentive service so that you feel at home.”
"This ward is the most fully equipped of all the wards in the entire hospital. You don't even need to go to the rehabilitation center; you can receive rehabilitation treatment right here."
The nurse pushed open the door to the small conference room as she spoke.
A complete set of electrotherapy equipment came into view in the center of the room.
oh.
It turns out this wasn't a meeting room.
"Please thank your dean for me. Your dean is such a good person," Shen Su said.
“Of course.” The nurse tilted her head back, her tone proud. “Our hospital director allocates special funds every year for free medical care, providing reductions or exemptions for patients from impoverished families. Patients with difficult or complicated diseases can receive free treatment here. He even personally goes to the surrounding villages to provide free medical consultations for elderly people who cannot afford medical care. The people in this area love and respect him very much.”
The nurse's description of Lin Qinghe's good deeds matched the information Xia Wanwan had previously gathered.
In summary, Dean Lin is a kind, righteous, friendly, and humble person. He is refined and elegant, a true gentleman, with a heart full of compassion for the people. He understands the suffering of the common people, and despite his high position, he is approachable and down-to-earth, earning him the deep love and respect of the people.
But...
Even hypocritical people have these characteristics.
"Your Dean Lin is such a kind person, I almost admire him." Shen Su said expressionlessly, and the nurse nodded frantically. Shen Su then changed the subject, "By the way, this ward is so big, why don't we add a bed and have your dean's brother transferred to this ward as well? He has the same symptoms as me, so we can be treated together."
The nurse's face went through a spectrum of colors before she finally spoke dryly, "The director said we can't spoil children; they need to experience life firsthand."
Shen Su grunted and said, "But I think children should be spoiled, otherwise someone will lure them away with just a piece of candy later."
.
Ward 305.
Four of the six beds are empty, and now only Shi Yu and Lin Fengbai are staying in this ward.
The nurses won't bring food after dark. Since her body was assimilated yesterday, Shi Yu hasn't eaten.
But perhaps due to assimilation, Shi Yu had never felt hungry before, but now that her body has recovered, she has started to feel hungry.
There was no other food in the ward, only a bucket of drinking water.
Shi Yu reached into his pocket and found the candy. It was the lollipop that Chen Su had given him before, which he had broken and wrapped in a candy wrapper.
Only a small piece of this candy has been eaten so far; there's still a lot left.
Shi Yu unfolded the candy wrapper in her palm and handed it to Lin Fengbai. The pale orange crumbs of candy glistened in the sunlight.
He asked, "Do you want some?"
Lin Fengbai's gaze moved from Shi Yu's face to Shi Yu's hands, and then to the broken candy.
He hesitated for a long time before finally extending two fingers to pick up a small piece of candy from Shi Yu's palm and put it in his mouth. After a while, when the small piece of candy had probably melted on his tongue, he whispered "thank you."
Shi Yu thought of the housekeeper's diary.
The housekeeper wrote in his diary that after Mr. Lin and his wife divorced, Lin Qinghe stayed with his mother and Lin Fengbai stayed with his father.
Clearly, Lin Fengbai had never had a good life with his father. He was often beaten and kicked by his alcoholic father and didn't even have a quiet environment to do his homework.
The butler said that the second young master did not study very hard and dropped out of university before finishing his studies.
But this is clearly a boy who could get a perfect score on a math test.
The butler also said that Lin Fengbai had changed; he had become gloomy, neither smiling nor speaking.
But when Lin Fengbai put the crushed candy he got into his mouth just now, his dark eyes were as innocent as some kind of small animal.
Shi Yu had intended to use the sugar to alleviate some of his hunger, but in the end he didn't eat a single bite.
He wrapped the remaining crumbs in candy wrapper and handed them to Lin Fengbai.
Lin Fengbai glanced at Shi Yu, then at the candy in Shi Yu's palm, seemingly weighing the options—this small packet of broken candy wasn't anything valuable, and it wasn't that he couldn't afford to pay it back.
Lin Fengbai finally accepted it: "Thank you."
Shi Yu said, "You're welcome."
Lin Fengbai opened the candy wrapper, took a small piece of candy and put it in his mouth, then wrapped the candy wrapper back up.
He folded it several times to make sure it was secure before putting it in his pocket.
Then he said to Shi Yu, "Now we are on the same side. As required, I need to transfer the entire plot to you."
Shi Yu: "Mm."
"Um..." Lin Fengbai hesitated for a moment, "It might take a while, why don't you lie down on the bed?"
"Okay." Shi Yu accepted the suggestion and lay down on the bed.
As Lin Fengbai's story flooded my mind.
All their previous speculations about Lin Qinghe and Lin Fengbai were overturned.
.
Lin Fengbai and Lin Qinghe were born into a wealthy family.
But their parents were not in love.
Outsiders only see one side of the story. Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin's marriage was a business arrangement. Mr. Lin's pursuit of Mrs. Lin in college was just a formality. The housekeeper's diary entry that "Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin are very loving" was just something they deliberately put on for the outside world.
But the argument was real.
It is true that the Lin family has gone bankrupt.
The subsequent divorce was also true.
Two people who don't love each other naturally don't love their children much either, so the brothers' relationship is better than their relationship with their parents.
However, what Shi Yu didn't expect was—
When Lin Fengbai was little, he was so clingy to his older brother. He wanted to go to kindergarten with his brother, come back from school together, do his homework in the same room, and pester his brother to tell him bedtime stories at night. He even wanted to sleep in the same quilt with his brother on stormy nights. He followed Lin Qinghe around all day, calling out "brother" in a sticky voice, like a little tail.
When Lin Qinghe was a child, he gave Lin Fengbai whatever he wanted and fulfilled all his requests. He was extremely tolerant of Lin Fengbai, even indulgent.
If the Lin family hadn't gone bankrupt, if the Lin couple hadn't divorced, and if they hadn't separated their two sons after the divorce, their lives might not have turned out the way they are today.
At least, it will be a little better than it is now.
Before the age of 8, Lin Fengbai was a carefree young master who was loved by his older brother.
After the age of 8, Lin Fengbai's life plummeted from heaven to hell.
.
The year Lin Fengbai's parents divorced, he and his older brother Lin Qinghe had just turned eight and were in the second grade of elementary school.
The villa was unusually quiet that morning. Lin Fengbai and his brother washed up, put on their schoolbags, and went downstairs to have breakfast before going to school. Lin's mother sat on the sofa in the living room, looking tired, and said to them, "I asked Teacher Zhang for leave, so you don't need to go to school today."
Kobayashi Kaze looked up at his brother with a confused expression.
The sound of a car engine came from the courtyard; it was Lin's father returning. Lin's mother handed a plate of steamed buns to Lin Qinghe and said, "Take your younger brother upstairs to eat."
Kobayashi Seika took the plate, nodded, and took Kobayashi Fuuhaku's hand.
Xiao Lin Fengbai didn't understand why his mother had asked them to take a day off, or why she wanted them to go back to their rooms to eat xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). However, he listened to his older brother, so when his brother took his hand and led him upstairs, he followed him. His brother told him to eat xiaolongbao, so he ate them quietly.
The xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) didn't taste good.
It doesn't taste like the cooking my housekeeper makes.
In fact, several of the housekeepers had already left, as had the driver. The housekeeper was the last to leave, and she solemnly bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Lin before she left.
After breakfast, Lin Fengbai wasn't sticky like usual. He sat alone in his chair, playing with his chubby fingers, and asked in a childish voice, "Brother, will Mom and Dad not want us anymore?"
"Won't."
"What if my brother doesn't want me anymore?"
"Won't."
"We will not separate," Kobayashi Kiyokazu emphasized, his youthful voice ringing out with strength.
Kobayashi was relieved.
He came over again and started getting all lovey-dovey with his brother.
The children's vows were sincere and passionate.
However, children do not have the right to make their own decisions about many things.
Lin's parents divorced. Lin's mother took her sensible older brother with her and left the clingy and disobedient Lin Fengbai with Lin's father.
Lin Qinghe went to the capital with his mother, attended the best primary, middle and high schools, and then went abroad. His future was bright.
Lin Fengbai followed his father to a remote small city.
From then on, the two went down completely different paths.
