The food at Lin's Private Hospital is quite good.
Su Ling slept all the way from Shixi Village to S City. It was already eleven o'clock when he woke up. His stomach was already growling with hunger, so Lin Feng personally went to the hospital restaurant to get him some food.
Nutritious meal: preserved egg and lean meat porridge, blueberry and yam puree, four-color diced vegetables and two milk steamed buns.
Su Ling sat on the hospital bed, drinking porridge and eating steamed buns, his eyes occasionally drifting to the sumptuous lunch box on the small table beside the bed.
Sweet and sour spare ribs, Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried shrimp and broccoli, mushroom soup and a bowl of white rice - this is Lin Feng's lunch.
I looked at the porridge in my bowl and it suddenly didn't taste good anymore.
"My fever has gone down and I'm well now. I don't mind having your share, really." Su Ling licked the corner of his mouth and said to Lin Feng with envy.
Lin Feng said it gently but with a serious expression. "You just woke up, it's not suitable for you to eat greasy food."
Su Ling drank a mouthful of porridge and ate the small pieces of meat that were not enough to fill his teeth. He complained: "My appetite is so good now that I can swallow a cow."
Lin Feng looked at his pitiful appearance, and with a change of heart, he picked up a broccoli and gently placed it on his plate.
Su Ling glanced at the broccoli, then glared at the plump shrimp on the other man's plate. He looked at the man with a half-smile, raised his delicate eyebrows and asked, "Do you think this is charity?"
Lin Feng remained calm and said seriously, "Eating more vegetables is good for your health."
Is he still right?
Su Ling puffed up his cheeks with anger, picked up the broccoli, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it quickly, and swallowed it.
"You brought me here alone?" he asked.
One can imagine how anxious Lin Feng was after he had a fever. King and Lion must have been ruthlessly left in the village, and he probably didn't even have many pieces of clothes with him.
Lin Feng put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly with a tissue and said, "Zhan Yang will take care of those two little ones."
Su Ling understood. "What about my other things?"
As planned, he did have to return to City S in the next two days, so he had specially prepared some rain-dew tea and refined new rice to give to friends and family. Also, did he bring along the artwork he'd been painting recently and the bookmarks he'd made for his friends?
Lin Feng said, "I'll have Zhan Yang pack it carefully and send it by express. It will be delivered to your home tomorrow."
Su Ling nodded and ate his nutritious meal with peace of mind.
After a full meal, his stomach felt better and he leaned on the bed boredly browsing his phone.
“When can I be discharged from the hospital?”
"After the physical examination this afternoon, you can be discharged from the hospital."
Hearing the word "physical examination", Su Ling's face suddenly became worried. "Can I not have a physical examination?"
He has a psychological trauma about physical examinations. Not only does it take two or three hours each time, but he also has to draw two tubes of blood. Although the nurse is very skilled and he can hardly feel the needle piercing his skin, the process of drawing blood always makes him feel palpitations.
It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but he has a mild hemophobia.
It's okay if your finger is cut and bleeds a little, but if you see a large amount of blood, you will feel dizzy, nauseous, and want to vomit.
Lin Feng sat down beside the bed, brushed aside his bangs, and said softly, "A physical examination is to nip problems in the bud. It only has benefits and no harm."
Su Ling sighed and lay back, leaning against the soft pillow. "Twice a year is enough. Once every three months is a bit too often. I'm not seriously ill."
He hasn't had a physical examination for half a year. I wonder if his personal doctor will nag him when he sees him.
"Knock knock," the door was knocked twice, and a young doctor in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses walked into the ward. When he saw Su Ling, he smiled politely.
"Hello, Mr. Su, it's nice to see you again."
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Su Ling looked calm and politely greeted him: "Hello, Doctor Ji."
Ji Qing came to the bed with a notebook in his hand and said to Lin Feng, "It's consultation time now. Family members, please go out and wait."
Lin Feng sat still, and Su Ling poked his arm. "Listen to the doctor."
Ji Qing opened the notebook, took out the pen inside, and filled in the patient's basic information in the form. When he wrote the age column, the tall man had a cold face, moved his feet, and walked out reluctantly.
Shrugging his shoulders, Ji Qing sat on the chair beside the bed and asked Su Ling straight to the point: "Don't you like seeing me?"
"Uh... no, that's not the case." Su Ling denied.
"Your eyes turned to the left. Haha, you say one thing and mean another!" Ji Qing ruthlessly exposed his lie.
Lidya Su coughed lightly and said embarrassedly: "As long as we are not in the hospital, I am happy to meet you."
Normally, normal people don’t like to deal with doctors in hospitals often, right?
Ji Qing held the pen and wrote on the notebook as he said, "Unfortunately, our meeting place is basically in the hospital. I am your personal doctor and I am responsible for your health."
Su Ling looked at the name tag hanging on his chest and looked puzzled. "I always forgot to ask, you are a psychiatrist, why did you become my exclusive doctor?"
A year ago, when he was hospitalized for the first time, he was puzzled when Lin Feng introduced the director of the psychiatry department as his exclusive doctor. However, thinking that he only had a physical examination and the doctor would look at the physical examination report, it didn't seem to matter which department the doctor was from.
Ji Qing paused recording, nudged the camera frame with his middle finger, and said seriously, "Modern people face high work pressure, intense stress, and a fast-paced lifestyle. Being in a state of mental tension for a long time can easily lead to endocrine disorders, decreased immunity, and various physical illnesses. My job is mainly to provide preventive measures for patients, allowing them to relax, regain their mental state, and face life positively."
After a pause, he said, "Of course, compared to other departments, the psychiatry department is slightly less busy."
I have said such a long paragraph before, and the last sentence is the truth: because he is idle.
Su Ling suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, I misunderstood."
Ji Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It's okay, it's normal to have doubts. We have known each other for so long, we are friends, aren't we?"
Su Ling nodded: "Of course."
We meet once every three months, and each time we talk for half an hour. We often become so absorbed in each other's thoughts that we open up to each other without realizing it, and we are almost like friends.
Ji Qing wrote a line in the notebook, looked up at him and said, "More than three months ago, on the day you were supposed to come for a physical examination, I canceled all my appointments and waited from morning until after get off work, but you didn't show up. When I called you, your phone was turned off. Do you know how disappointed I was that day?"
Su Ling was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and whispered: "Sorry... I was in a bad mood that day."
Ji Qing said gently: "If you don't mind, you can talk to me."
Lidya Su played with her phone, her eyelashes fluttering. "It's nothing, actually. I just had a sudden problem around that time and started questioning my marriage, so I went to the countryside to relax."
Ji Qing said, "The countryside is nice. Being close to nature can help you relax physically and mentally. Hmm—you seem to be doing well. Are you helping farmers sell their produce?"
Su Ling was slightly surprised: "Dr. Ji watched the live broadcast?"
Ji Qing finished writing a line and said with a smile, "We follow each other on Weibo. A few days ago, you were trending on the search, and I realized that my missing 'friend' is actually living a colorful life in the countryside."
Su Ling touched his nose awkwardly. "Just... help others!"
Ji Qing: "It seems you are adapting well."
"Yes, it's comfortable and relaxing." Su Ling sighed, "I don't want to go back to the city after living here for so long."
He naturally talked about interesting stories in the countryside, with a bright gleam in his eyes, a faint smile on his face, and confidence emanating from his whole body. He looked dazzling.
Ji Qing listened quietly, kept writing in the notebook, and recorded Su Ling's words word for word.
Twenty minutes later, Su Ling ended the topic with a lingering feeling.
Ji Qing finished writing the last word, put a period, closed the notebook and said, "Let's stop here for today. Thank you for your cooperation."
"You're welcome." Su Ling said, "Doctor Ji, if you have a day off, you can go to Phoenix Mountain with your friends. I'll treat you to some farm-style food."
"Okay!" Ji Qing laughed. "I'll definitely go play when I have time. Don't forget to be my tour guide!"
Su Ling responded readily: "No problem."
Ji Qing stood up and waved his finger at him. "Don't forget the experience at 1:30 this afternoon."
"Okay." Knowing that he couldn't avoid it, Su Ling responded decisively.
When Ji Qing walked out of the ward, he was startled by the man leaning against the door. As expected of a wife-protecting man, he stood guard at the door for over half an hour, fearing that he might harm Mr. Su.
"Come with me." Ji Qing walked towards the nurses' station, and Lin Feng followed silently behind.
The nurses' station was far enough away from Su Ling's ward. Ji Qing opened her notebook and said to Lin Feng seriously, "Mr. Su's mental state is much better than it was six months ago. The countryside is a great place to cultivate the body and mind. The tranquility and peace brought by nature have alleviated his anxious mental state. If you had restrained yourself last night, he wouldn't have fallen ill so quickly."
Lin Feng frowned, his expression grim.
Ji Qing was used to his sullen nature and continued, "He's still unaware of his condition. If you want to take him to Country L for treatment, you have to do it gradually so he can slowly accept the fact that he's ill."
Lin Feng: "I know."
Ji Qing sighed softly in his heart.
Su Ling's disease is very special. It is the first time he has seen it in all his years of medical practice.
This is a genetic disease hidden in the genes. If you are lucky, you will never develop the disease in your lifetime. If you are unlucky, it will gradually erode your mental consciousness and eventually cause personality split.
The cause of Su Ling's illness was unknown. Most art students tend to be sensitive, naturally empathetic, and more sensitive to emotional issues than the average person. From their conversations, he clearly sensed that Su Ling loved Lin Feng deeply, unconditionally, even to the point of being like a moth to a flame.
This extreme behavior can be seen from the fact that he would rather sever ties with the Su family for Lin Feng.
If the partner he loves cannot respond with the same affection, the consequences will be disastrous. Fortunately, Lin Feng's love for him is even stronger than before, so strong that it penetrates into his bones.
However, loving too deeply also has its disadvantages. Once it exceeds the critical point that he can bear, it will irritate the nerves and induce illness.
The first time Su Ling fell ill, it was obvious that the two of them were too passionate during lovemaking, exceeding their limits and entering the initial stage of the disease.
To be honest, Ji Qing was extremely surprised when he found out the cause of Su Ling's illness.
If the relationship between the two was not so deep, this situation would not have occurred.
As for the treatment plan, it is neither difficult nor easy.
Genetic diseases naturally require gene therapy, which involves transferring functional normal genes into the cell genome for repair, thereby achieving a cure.
However, finding a suitable, highly compatible gene carrier in this vast sea of people is no easy task. Even if one is found, they must endure a painful experimental phase. No matter how much money is offered, strangers who are not even related to the patient will likely not agree to the procedure if their lives are at stake.
Fortunately, Lin Feng's genes matched Su Ling's.
The probability of them running into each other is one in a billion, it can only be called a miracle.
In order to cure Su Ling, Lin Feng found Professor Smith, an authority on genetic research in Country L, and used his own body for experiments. After a year, he finally overcame the problem.
As a patient, Su Ling knew nothing about his condition, and had no idea that his partner had made many sacrifices without telling him.
For any other disease, patients have the right to know their condition. However, the most worrying thing about Su Ling's disease is that he is easily stimulated. If he cannot accept it, his mental breakdown will accelerate and he will enter the late stage. By then, even gene therapy will be useless.
Now that there is a treatment, all problems will be solved.
Looking at Lin Feng's hard face, Ji Qing asked, "When do you plan to take him to Country L for treatment?"
"As early as the beginning of next month." Lin Feng said.
"I wish you success." Ji Qing patted his shoulder and said sincerely.
When Lin Feng returned to the ward, Su Ling was leaning on the bed, posting on Weibo with a happy look on his face.
He finished making the bookmarks yesterday, but was busy with other things and didn't have time to post the lottery blog post. Now that he has some free time, he quickly edited the text and added pictures and posted it.
Fans who have been following his Weibo saw his new post and immediately forwarded it. In less than a minute, the number of reposts exceeded 1,000, and it continued to increase every second, reaching thousands with just one refresh.
Su Ling was amazed. He never thought that he would become an Internet celebrity one day.
Seeing Lin Feng coming back, he put down his phone and asked, "Did Doctor Ji say anything to you?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "No."
Su Ling stared at his expression suspiciously. "Really?"
Lin Feng sat by the bed, took his hand, and interlocked their fingers. "Why do you ask?"
Su Ling shook his hand back vigorously, yawned, and said lazily: "Every time I come to the hospital for a physical examination, he always takes a notebook and asks me all sorts of questions, meticulously recording my words. If I wasn't sure that I was mentally normal, I would have suspected something was wrong with him asking such questions."
"Maybe this is a psychiatrist's habit." Lin Feng asked with concern, "Are you sleepy?"
"Yeah, a little." Su Ling lay down and pulled up the quilt, "It's all because of you. I feel pain all over my body now."
Lin Feng lowered his head and kissed his slightly pouting lips, saying hoarsely, "I love you."
Su Ling reached out and pulled at his face. "You're so disgusting."
He said he didn't want it yesterday, but this guy kept saying "I love you" in his ear, so her heart softened and she let him do it.
As a result, he developed a fever and was hospitalized.
When I woke up from a nap, my bones and flesh ached, and I felt particularly uncomfortable there.
The most hateful thing is that this guy forced me to call him "Dad" countless times. It's so embarrassing!
Yawning again, Su Ling pushed him. "I want to sleep for a while. You can wake me up after the physical examination."
"Yeah." Lin Feng sat on the chair next to him and looked at him softly, "You sleep."
Su Ling closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
