Chapter 37 Please help me put it on myself, okay...?
"There's a storage area outside the department; you can leave your leg there for now," Lin He suggested, placing the mechanical leg that had just been removed onto the white bed.
"No need, I can just store it in my spatial storage." Heng Xing reached out to grab the mechanical leg, but found that it was cleverly positioned so that it seemed close but was actually out of reach without leaning forward.
Lin He, wearing a white coat, stood smiling with her hands behind her back, seemingly unable to understand her actions.
Chi Qingyi and Yu Nianqing heard that the demolition inside had been completed and came in with a stretcher.
Yu Nianqing straightened Heng Xing's body, her heart aching as she looked at her crippled right leg. "Captain Heng, are you really not in pain?"
Hengxing held his arm, "It's okay, don't think too much. Help me get my leg over here."
“Okay.” He walked to the bed, picked up the flesh-colored mechanical leg with both hands, and struggled a bit.
"I'll help you," Lin He finally snapped and stepped forward.
Yu Nianqing gave her a cold glance and didn't let her interfere.
Why didn't you help Captain Heng when he reached out? What are you doing putting on a show in front of so many people?
"Thank you, Mr. Yu."
Hengxing put the mechanical leg into the space button, and then handed the space button back to him for safekeeping.
The stretcher automatically rose to the height of the white bed. She refused Chi Qingyi's help and moved onto the stretcher herself using her remaining leg.
"Teacher Lin, we'll be going now." Chi Qingyi politely said goodbye to Lin He and led them back to the testing room.
Back in the testing room, the doctor joked with Hengxing, "There's no other metal in your body, right?"
Heng Xing: "...Yes."
Do you want to take off your clothes?
Doctor: "No need, come on, take the stretcher this way."
After confirming that she had correctly positioned herself in the testing chamber, the doctor led the two onlookers out of the testing room.
The testing room is separated from the outside world by glass. Through the glass, you can see Hengxing lying in the testing chamber. A blue line sweeps down from her head, and the machine makes a "beep" sound.
Her face was bathed in a pink and yellow light, and in front of her was a famous children's movie with a pig and a sheep as the main characters.
Suddenly, she raised her hand and tapped on the outer shell of the testing chamber.
“Teacher, she wants to pause,” Chi Qingyi called out.
Yu Nianqing asked anxiously, "Captain Heng, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Heng Xing's voice sounded a little muffled through the glass, "Can we change to another one? This one doesn't look good. Isn't it supposed to be a children's film? Why can't the characters talk?"
She has to stay in the testing chamber for at least an hour, and she doesn't really want to watch sheep and pigs for an hour.
Doctor: "...This was chosen by your boyfriend."
Heng Xing: "He's not my boyfriend, this..."
Yu Nianqing interrupted, "Captain Heng, what would you like to see?"
Heng Xing: "Let's talk about 'Dr. Chen'."
Doctor: "Okay, but won't you be afraid of doctors after watching this?"
After a brief period of darkness, the light shining on Hengxing's face changed from childlike colors to monotonous red and white.
She adjusted her position with satisfaction and began watching TV.
Yu Nianqing leaned against the glass wall, holding her terminal in her hand.
Chi Qingyi: "Nianqing, don't worry, our hospital has very good facilities."
Why do they both look so worried?
Yu Nianqing was both amused and exasperated: "Just call me Nianqing, I should be younger than you."
He wasn't worried about Captain Heng's safety in the treatment pod, but rather he was recalling the feel of the mechanical leg he had just touched.
Those realistic mechanical legs must be expensive.
When we first met, Captain Heng's pockets were empty, looking penniless. Was it because he was buying this mechanical leg?
What could have led to the amputation of the right leg?
He recalled an example from his own life: Marshal Si had his leg amputated due to a mecha explosion.
Spaceship exploded?
The spaceship exploded, and probably not even ashes remained.
It's also possible that his leg was caught in the machinery. He had seen related news reports, and the bloody news pictures instantly appeared before his eyes.
Whatever it is, it must hurt a lot, and Yu Nianqing felt sad just thinking about it.
Chi Qingyi brought over two stools and the two sat down to chat.
"Oh, sorry, I was prejudiced. I called her Sister Heng and she didn't object, so I thought you two were about the same age."
"That……"
Yu Nianqing wanted to say that Hengxing was actually younger than him, but then felt that she might have her own reasons for doing so.
...
An hour later, Hengxing's full-body examination was completed.
Chi Qingyi pulled the stretcher over. "Sister Heng, let's go to the orthopedics department first to put the leg back in place, and then go get blood drawn. That will be more convenient."
Yu Nianqing was helping Hengxing onto the stretcher when she heard this. She looked up, a little embarrassed, but still chose to speak: "Could we get another doctor to help?"
Chi Ching-yi: "Dr. Lin's skills are better."
Yu Nianqing was angry when she thought of Lin He's behavior just now. "It shouldn't be difficult to install a mechanical leg, so I won't bother Dr. Lin anymore."
Chi Qingyi: "Okay, my senior is here today, I'll ask him to help."
Chi Qingyi's senior, who just started working at the hospital this year, was so excited when he heard that Yu Nianqing trusted him that he was at a loss for words.
"Don't worry, Ms. Heng, my basic skills are very solid," he solemnly promised.
Sure enough, the process of installing the mechanical legs on Hengxing was not as painful as before.
After the leg was fitted, she got out of bed and took a few steps; her movements were very smooth.
After thanking the young doctor, Chi Qingyi led the two to have their blood drawn.
It was already noon after the blood was drawn. The cold wind blowing in my face was mixed with sunlight, much gentler than the cold wind in the morning.
Heng Xing loosened his scarf, took a deep breath, and enjoyed the fresh air.
Chi Ching-yi: "The examination report and treatment recommendations will be released together this afternoon. I'll take you to the cafeteria for lunch first."
She skillfully led the two of them along the shortest route to the first canteen. When they arrived at the entrance of the first canteen, she turned around and said, "Our hospital has six canteens. I personally think the second canteen is the best, but the first canteen is closer. You can try the second canteen next time."
Heng Xing didn't care much, nodded in agreement, and followed her toward the entrance of the first canteen.
But Yu Nianqing suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, not letting her leave. "Qingyi, why don't we go to the second canteen to eat? I'm afraid I won't be able to find my way next time."
I'm confused by the stars; isn't there a navigation system?
If the navigation fails, there's still her, isn't there?
Her sense of direction isn't that bad, is it?
Actually, Chi Qingyi also wanted to eat at the second canteen. Upon hearing this, she happily turned around and led the way to the second canteen, carefully explaining to him how to get there.
"The second canteen is a little behind the first canteen. Nianqing, look, this route is faster. First, turn left, then..."
Hengxing whispered, "What's wrong? Is there someone you don't like inside?"
The excuse of not knowing the way is too far-fetched; there must be some other reason.
Yu Nianqing: "Huh? How did you know?"
Hengxing: "I guessed."
"Based on what I know about you," she said with a mysterious smile.
Yu Nianqing was amused; she had indeed guessed correctly.
He glanced around casually and spotted Lin He holding a plate, so he quickly stopped the two people in front of him from going any further.
Disliked people can affect his appetite.
The second canteen is a self-service restaurant with a wide variety of dishes, including hot dishes, cold dishes, desserts, and fruits.
Chi Qingyi, carrying a plate, squeezed into the crowd. "We're at table six. I'll go first. Take whatever you want to eat."
Yu Nianqing and Heng Xing were unfamiliar with the place, so they slowly walked around the long table where the dishes were placed, carrying their plates.
This meal only costs fifty star coins per person, so naturally there are no particularly high-end ingredients.
The dishes are fresh and light, with little salt and oil, making them very healthy.
Yu Nianqing put a few boiled asparagus spears on her plate, then turned around and found that Hengxing had already run to the table in front of her.
Yu Nianqing: "...Captain Heng, you are a patient, you should eat more green foods to supplement your vitamins."
Heng Xing: "You're right."
Then I picked up a green marshmallow.
Yu Nianqing: ...
Heng Xing: "Hahaha, don't worry, I'll finish these first and then get some more food."
Back at the sixth table, Chi Qingyi was already sitting down and enjoying her meal.
Seeing the cakes on Hengxing's plate,
She pushed the vegetable salad next to her to the middle of the table, saying, "Sister, eat more of this; it's good for your health."
Hengxing didn't answer, but picked up a fork and started eating the cake.
He picked up a small cake, popped it into his mouth,
Hengxing: ...
Help! What is this?
"Mr. Yu, your cakes are still the best." The simple words are full of genuine feelings.
Yu Nianqing smiled and took her plate away, moving the vegetable salad in front of her. "I'll make you a cake after you've recovered."
After finishing their meal, they sat in the restaurant waiting for Hengxing's treatment recommendations.
Taking advantage of this brief break, Hengxing opened the online store on his device and bought the things he had forgotten to buy that morning.
Payment was successful, and a freshly generated examination report and treatment recommendations have been delivered via pop-up notification.
Chi Qingyi didn't lean in to look; the examination reports and treatment recommendations were the patient's personal privacy, and peeking at them would be reported.
Yu Nianqing wanted to see, but he obediently sat to the side and waited for Heng Xing to explain it to him personally.
GJU-2?
She searched for the ingredient on the StarNet and found that GJU-2 is a psychotropic drug that affects the brain. The human body cannot metabolize it normally, so it accumulates in the body and can cause serious addiction after taking a certain amount.
Someone poisoned her.
Heng Xing's eyes darkened.
It's clear who it was and the answer is obvious.
"Captain Heng, how is it?" Yu Nianqing asked when she saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time.
Heng Xing told the truth: "I have a toxin in my blood that I can't metabolize, so I need to undergo hemodialysis for more than two days."
Poisoning?
Yu Nianqing contacted her broken right leg, "Captain Heng, did you do something that was against imperial law?"
For example, leaving certain illegal drug trafficking organizations can come at the cost of losing a leg.
Hengxing paused for a moment, then said, "No, that's not it."
Sitting next to her, Chi Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, nothing had happened.
Yu Nianqing, who had asked the question, was intrigued, and Heng Xing hesitated.
That means my guess might be true.
The terminal in my hand suddenly vibrated again.
Yu Nianqing: "Any new reports?"
Hengxing glanced at it and realized that the things he had just bought had arrived.
That's pretty fast.
She got up to leave, saying, "Wait for me, I'm going to get something."
Chi Qingyi also stood up. "Nianqing, I'm going to the restroom. Wait for me here."
Yu Nianqing: "Okay, you can all go."
He stayed here alone to watch the table.
Unexpectedly, Heng Xing returned a few minutes earlier than Chi Qingyi, carrying a well-sealed package.
Yu Nianqing asked her, "What did you buy?"
Heng Xing took out a small knife from the spatial button, opened the package, and took out the small box inside.
She opened the box, inside was a delicate pearl earring.
"This is a location alarm."
"It can be linked to the terminals of three people. After you record your voice on the terminal, once you say the pre-set fixed phrase, it will automatically remind you and send your location to the terminal. If the linked terminal does not respond, it will automatically alarm and send your real-time location to the police."
"That way you won't have to worry about them finding you again and you being helpless like last time after you get caught."
"The pearl on the outside of this locator is of good quality. Even if it is discovered, it will not be thrown away. It can also send location information from the spatial button."
Yu Nianqing looked down at the pearl earrings in the box, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly, "Captain Heng, thank you."
"Could you help me put it on yourself?"
