Chapter 210 It’s been a while since graduation, right?
The top two floors of the inpatient building are single rooms and intensive care units. At my request, Dr. Chen arranged a single room for me.
It is obviously much quieter here than the ward downstairs. There is almost no sound. Even the nurses in the nurses' station speak more softly than downstairs.
We found Ward 2116, pushed the door open, and saw my brother-in-law sitting by the bed, grinning foolishly with red eyes, and my cousin half-leaning on the bed looking at him.
Seeing me walk in, my cousin looked up and when she saw it was me, a pale smile immediately appeared on her face. "Mengmeng, thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have died in the mountains."
I felt sad when I heard that, so I sat down beside the bed, held her hand, and said, "I wish I had realized earlier that you didn't go back.
I never thought they would use your phone to reply to my message."
"I don't blame you. I never thought that grandma and your uncle would do such a stupid thing."
She glanced at Xiao Shiqiu behind me, "Mengmeng, is this... your boyfriend?" she asked uncertainly.
"Um, his name is Xiao Shiqiu, and he's my friend." I answered vaguely.
There was some confusion in my cousin's eyes. "He looks quite energetic, but...it's been a while since he graduated, right?"
I know my cousin just wanted to express in a tactful way that she dislikes his age.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Xiao Shiqiu replied openly, "It's been a while since I graduated with a doctorate."
He spoke seriously and said that it was impossible to trick his cousin.
However, my cousin had an inexplicable admiration for people with high education. When she heard the words "PhD graduate", she immediately ignored Xiao Shiqiu's age and put on an aunt's smile.
Pulling her brother-in-law’s sleeve, she looked at him with blind admiration: “Kaisheng, look, at Xiaoxiao’s age, if he were in our village, the children would be about to go to college.
But she has a PhD and is still in a relationship. Knowledge really changes destiny."
Xiao Shiqiu's smile was a little forced.
I quickly coughed twice strategically to divert her attention. "Sister, did the doctor tell me how your condition is now?"
As expected, my cousin stopped thinking about Xiao Shiqiu’s age. “I’m not sure if the doctor is telling me the truth. He always tells me to let my family come.
Your brother-in-law and I haven't registered our marriage yet. The doctor said he couldn't represent the family. He was so anxious that he took out his household registration booklet and asked the doctor if he could borrow a wheelchair from the hospital so he could be pushed out to get the marriage certificate.
My cousin couldn't help laughing, and I laughed too, leaning against Xiao Shiqiu. My brother-in-law blushed and chuckled, "The doctor didn't agree, Jundi. As soon as you're discharged from the hospital, we'll go get the marriage certificate."
I thought about what the doctor said again, and I didn’t know if I had told my cousin. I looked at my cousin hesitantly, then at my brother-in-law, who was peeling an apple with his head down.
"Kaisheng, go to the hospital entrance and buy some tangerines. I want to eat them." My cousin said softly, and I was startled. My cousin has always been a hot-tempered and impetuous person, and I have never heard her speak like this.
My brother-in-law looked up in confusion. "Didn't you just say you wanted to eat an apple? Wait until I'm done peeling it. Can you eat it first and then I'll go?"
My cousin immediately pouted and said, "I just want to eat sugar oranges now."
My brother-in-law quickly peeled the remaining skin of the apple and handed it to my cousin. "You eat it first, I'll go buy some more."
I deliberately smiled and said, "Brother-in-law is so good to you. I almost choked on this wave of dog food."
Xiao Shiqiu glanced at me with an ambiguous look, "What do you want to eat? Do you want me to buy it for you?"
