Chapter 136 The hidden one is going to the crematorium

Hidden is to chase his wife to the crematorium

Chi Dong did not tell Bu Qianli the exact date of his discharge. He knew that the company was pushing forward an important project recently, so Bu Qianli had to squeeze out the time to drive him.

Several times in the car, Chi Dong heard urgent calls from Special Assistant Chen, and the tone of his voice became more and more urgent.

Later, when Bu Qianli asked for a driver to pick him up, Chi Dong found an excuse to refuse. He really didn't want to cause trouble for Bu Qianli, especially at the most critical moment of the project. Every time he saw the fatigue in Bu Qianli's eyes, he felt sad.

So, he took the bus or subway every day, running back and forth between the hospital and the company. He rushed to the hospital early in the morning to take care of his father and others, and waited for the nurse to come before he hurried to work.

He has submitted his resignation application to Manager Liu, and the company has approved it, but he still needs to stay and work for a while and can only leave after the formal handover is completed.

Originally, he planned to leave the company in a complete and orderly manner after the internship, thus putting a perfect end to his first workplace experience.

But plans can never keep up with changes. First, his father was involved in a car accident, then the workload of the department suddenly increased, and he had to pay attention to his mother's health all the time. In addition, the embarrassing confession not long ago also made him a little exhausted emotionally.

Under these multiple pressures, Chi Dong really did not have the extra energy and mind to continue working in the company.

Therefore, he decided to finish his internship early so that he could accompany and take care of his family wholeheartedly before school started.

Before leaving the manager's office, Liu Ke patted him on the shoulder, with a hint of regret in her tone: "Xiao Chi, you are a capable young man. If there is a chance in the future, you are welcome to come back."

Chi Dong nodded and forced a smile, but he knew in his heart that he might not have the opportunity to join this company again.

After all, voluntarily applying for resignation in advance and leaving after the internship are completely different in nature.

He did not tell anyone else about his resignation, not even Jiang Yuzhou, so today, as usual, he, Jiang Yuzhou and other colleagues took the elevator down to the first floor of the company and went home separately.

The moment he walked out of the door, Chi Dong looked up at the sky. It was a clear, cloudless day, and the sun shone directly on his face, making him feel warm.

*

The next morning, on the subway, Chi Dong sat in a corner with his bag in his arms. He stared at the ground in a daze, his thoughts drifting to the hospital expenses of his parents.

He was going to the hospital today and wanted to use the salary he received yesterday to pay part of the expenses before going to work at the company.

When he was in Manager Liu's office yesterday, he asked her for leave in the morning in advance, just to pay the money today. When he arrived at the hospital, the lobby was already full of people who were seeing or visiting the patients, and the air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant.

Not far away, Lu Jinjiang, wearing a neat white coat and holding a stack of medical records in his hand, was walking hurriedly from the other end of the corridor.

At first, Chi Dong did not notice him. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the bill in his hand. The noisy voices in the hospital lobby were heard in his ears. It was not until he heard someone calling his name that he looked up.

"Late winter?"

Chi Dong was surprised: "Doctor Lu."

Lu Jinjiang took a few steps closer and his eyes lingered on his face for a moment, seeming to sense the weariness between his brows. However, he did not ask any more questions, but smiled slightly: "Are you... paying the money?"

Chi Dong nodded: "Yes, I want to pay part of it first, and then pay the full amount after I am discharged from the hospital. Thank you, Dr. Lu, for your care during this time."

Hearing this, Lu Jinjiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He wanted to say, "I'm not the one you should thank," but then he thought, maybe Bu Qianli was deliberately hiding something. He thought to himself, worried that if he said too much, it would make things worse, so he swallowed the words back.

"You're welcome. This is what we doctors should do." Lu Jinjiang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and spoke in a gentle tone.

However, a trace of doubt arose in his heart: "It's strange, why don't I see that conspicuous guy?" His eyes unconsciously swept around and frowned, as if he found it hard to believe that someone would be absent from such an occasion.

You know, a few days ago, someone was very attentive and stayed by Chi Dong's side almost all the time. However, now there were only unfamiliar faces passing by, and there was no familiar figure he expected.

Lu Jinjiang felt a little doubtful, but in the end he just shook his head.

As the two chatted, the nurse quickly calculated the amount and said, "Here is your bill. Please go to window 1 to pay."

"Excuse me, why is there only the amount of medical fees here and no other expenses?" Chi Dong carefully checked the receipt in his hand, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

He originally thought that the amount he needed to pay would be very large, and he had even prepared to take out an online loan.

But now the nurse handed him only two thin slips with amounts so small that he could hardly believe his eyes. He checked several times, surprised and suspicious, and couldn't help asking again.

"It has been calculated clearly. There will be no mistakes." The nurse replied with a smile and a very firm tone.

Of course she would not tell him that 90 percent of the fees had been paid for him on the first day.

If I hadn't been worried that paying it all would arouse suspicion, I probably wouldn't have kept even the remaining part.

Moreover, that person and Dean Lu had repeatedly warned them not to let the person in front of them know about this.

The nurse lowered her head and pretended to organize the documents in her hands, avoiding Chi Dong's puzzled gaze, and secretly sighed in her heart: The person who paid the money really had good intentions.

Chi Dong looked at her doubtfully: "Did you really calculate correctly? But isn't this amount a bit..."

The nurse still maintained her professional smile and said, "Yes, family member, don't worry, our hospital's system will not make mistakes."

Chi Dong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else: "But..."

Lu Jinjiang, who was standing nearby, of course knew what was going on. He quietly winked at the nurse, who immediately understood and quickly took over the conversation.

"If you have any questions about the fees, you can always come to the front desk for consultation. But please rest assured that our accounting process is very strict and there will be no mistakes."

"Please move to the window to pay as soon as possible, next one." The nurse raised her voice with a hint of urging in her tone.

Chi Dong then turned around and found that there were already several patients or their families lined up behind him. They looked impatient, some complained in a low voice why the line was not moving, and some kept looking at their watches, looking extremely anxious.

He pinched the receipt in his hand and looked at it again and again, as if trying to find some clues from it.

At this time, Lu Jinjiang came out with a smile to smooth things over. "Even if you don't trust the hospital, you should trust the person who recommended you to come here. We at Jinghe are well-known for not deceiving patients. Come with me to the other side and pay the fee."

Seeing this, although he still had doubts in his heart, he could not delay any longer, so he had to nod, hold the receipt tightly in his hand, and obediently follow Lu Jinjiang to the payment office to pay the fee.

"Dr. Lu, thank you, I..." After paying the money, Chi Dong hadn't finished his words of thanks when his vision suddenly went black, his body swayed uncontrollably, and then he fell down softly, completely losing consciousness.

Inside the large ward, the clean white walls exuded a faint smell of disinfectant. Sunlight filtered in through the half-closed curtains, outlining a quiet area of ​​light and shadow on the ground.

On the hospital bed, the young man lay quietly, his face as pale as paper. Only the sound of the medicine in the infusion tube dripping down one by one made a slight sound, which was particularly clear in this quiet atmosphere.

At this moment, the sound of two people talking could be heard faintly from outside the door, and there was a hint of anxiety in the subdued conversation.

"How is he?"

Bu Qianli received a call from Lu Jinjiang just after the meeting. He had planned to drive to the hospital after the meeting, but before he even left the meeting room, he received the news that Chi Dong had fainted.

Without even a second thought, he dropped the work in his hands and quickly drove to the hospital, even forgetting his afternoon appointment with the person in charge of W City's leading technology group.

Fortunately, the dedicated assistant Chen called in time to remind Bu Qianli, and then he remembered this. So, while driving, he took the time to call the other party to apologize and negotiated to adjust the meeting time to tomorrow afternoon.

When Bu Qianli rushed to the hospital, Chi Dong was still in a coma. There was almost no color on his face, and the dark circles under his eyes were deeper than in the past few days. He looked haggard.

Bu Qianli stood beside the bed, his heart suddenly tightened, as if being grasped by something invisible, and it hurt slightly. He bent down involuntarily, and his slender fingers gently stroked the face that was pale and tired in late winter, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.

"You've made yourself look like this after not seeing you for a few days. You're such an idiot."

He murmured in a low voice, his tone mixed with helplessness and pity. After a moment of silence, Bu Qianli slowly tucked in the corners of the quilt for him, and carefully adjusted the drip speed of the infusion tube before leaving the ward.

As soon as I closed the door, I saw Lu Jinjiang walking out of the next ward, followed by a group of young doctors, who seemed to be making rounds.

Lu Jinjiang obviously didn't expect Bu Qianli to arrive so quickly. His eyebrows slightly raised and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Fu, take them to other wards first. I'll come find you later."

Lu Jinjiang paused, raised his wrist to check the time, then turned around and spoke to the young doctor who was following him.

"Okay." The young doctor nodded and quickly left with a group of people. After they disappeared at the end of the corridor, Lu Jinjiang approached Bu Qianli, and the two stood outside the ward door and talked in a low voice.

"He's not in serious condition, he's just too tired. Examination showed that he's suffering from insufficient Qi and blood. He'll wake up after he finishes this bottle of glucose." Lu Jinjiang spoke calmly, but his eyes were on Bu Qianli's face. Noticing an unprecedented look of heartache on him, he couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that my usually calm and self-possessed friend is really hooked this time.

Lu Jinjiang paused and added, "Take good care of him and give him more supplements. Look at his thin face. You can even see his jawline."

"... Okay, I understand." Bu Qianli lowered his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then spoke lightly with a hint of questioning in his tone, "Why didn't you tell me that Dongdong is Chidong?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinjiang frowned, his face full of confusion: "What are you talking about? Didn't you know this a long time ago?"

Bu Qianli's deep eyes stared at the person in the ward through the glass on the door, and her voice was low and helpless: "...I only found out a few days ago that he was Dongdong, a boy."

Hearing this, Lu Jinjiang was stunned at first, then he raised his hand and rubbed his temples, laughing and crying, with a hint of ridicule and helplessness in his tone: "I thought you had met before, so I didn't ask him about his gender. But now you tell me that you always thought he was a woman?"

Bu Qianli did not refute, but pursed her lips, her eyes still lingering on Chi Dong's pale face, and whispered: "I was negligent."

Lu Jinjiang shook his head and said with emotion: "From childhood to adulthood, you have always been very steady and cautious in doing things. How come you are so self-righteous in this matter?"

"..." Bu Qianli did not respond.

"No, didn't you say last time that you got married in the game? Then why don't you know whether he is a man or a woman?" Lu Jinjiang couldn't help but asked curiously.

Bu Qianli's voice was low and helpless: "...He didn't say, and I didn't ask."

Lu Jinjiang smacked his lips and said in a teasing tone, "Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder this oolong is so embarrassing. I heard that he is an employee of your company?"

"Um."

"I can't believe it, brother. They all say they won't eat grass near their own nest, but you actually eat grass near your own nest. That's amazing!" Lu Jinjiang's mouth corners curled up wildly with a teasing smile.

Bu Qianli ignored his joke and turned her eyes to the lush green scenery outside the window. Just when Lu Jinjiang thought he had nothing to say, Bu Qianli suddenly said something that shocked him.

"...Last week, he confessed his love to me."

Lu Jinjiang almost couldn't catch his breath and almost choked on his own saliva. He widened his eyes and said in an exaggerated tone: "Damn, then aren't you two in love and sweet?"

"...I refuse." Although Bu Qianli's voice sounded calm, if you listened carefully, you could hear a trace of regret that was difficult to conceal.

Lu Jinjiang was silent, took a deep breath, and was almost speechless. "What the hell are you doing? If someone you like confesses to you, shouldn't you be happy and accept it? Why did you reject it?"

Bu Qianli did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a long time before slowly whispering: "...I didn't know it was him at the time."

Lu Jinjiang sighed, patted his shoulder, and said sympathetically, "Well, you have blocked the road to happiness. Are you two playing the game of "You Draw, I Guess"? "

After saying that, he thought about it and came up with another tricky question, "So... does he know your identity?"

Bu Qianli looked towards the ward, as if he wanted to see through the thick wall to see if the person lying inside had woken up.

"He doesn't know."

Seeing him looking eager, Lu Jinjiang sighed silently, "When are you going to tell him?"

Bu Qianli's eyes flashed with concern, and he whispered, "Let's talk about it after he recovers."

Lu Jinjiang nodded and agreed: "Yes, he is weak now, it is really not the time to talk about this, and he can't stand your torture."

Bu Qianli glanced at him indifferently: "...Get lost."

"Okay, okay, I'll take my leave now." Lu Jinjiang laughed teasingly a few times and did not forget to remind before leaving.

"But I have to remind you to confess as soon as possible and don't delay it too long. The longer you delay some things, the more serious the consequences will be. I'm going to be busy now. Call me if you need anything."

Bu Qianli knew that his friend was worried about him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, "Well, thank you."

"Tsk, thank you not necessary, just remember not to call me late at night next time." Lu Jinjiang patted Bu Qianli's shoulder like a good friend and said in a relaxed tone, "Let's go."

After saying that, he took a few big strides and quickly left the spot. His back soon disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving Bu Qianli standing alone in the corridor.

The warm sunlight shines through the open windows, dimly falling on the whitewashed walls, casting a soft light and shadow.

After a long time, Bu Qianli slowly walked into the ward. Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, as soon as he stepped in, Chi Dong, who was lying on the bed, moved his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view were clean white walls, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant that is found in all hospitals.

Seeing him open his eyes, Bu Qianli hurried forward a few steps, and asked in a low and gentle voice: "Are you awake?"

His voice was like a gentle thread, pulling Chi Dong back to reality from his daze. He blinked, and his sight gradually focused, finally landing on that familiar face.

"Senior?" Chi Dong looked at Bu Qianli who suddenly appeared in front of him with some surprise, and his mind was confused for a while.

Why is he here?

Seeing him struggling to sit up, Bu Qianli hurried forward to support his shoulders, his movements very gently. He glanced at the IV bottle and saw that the medicine had been emptied, then pressed the call bell at the bedside.

Soon, a young nurse came in, skillfully pulled out the needle, and reminded, "Family members, remember to get the medicine."

After the nurse finished packing, she quickly glanced at the two of them, and left the ward with a reluctant look.

Although she really wanted to stay and look at the handsome guy for a few more times, the medicine had been finished and the needle had been removed. If she hesitated any longer and was discovered by the head nurse, she would be doomed.

After everyone left, Bu Qianli looked over with concern: "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Chi Dong shook his head, "I'm fine... just a little dizzy." After he finished speaking, he looked up at Bu Qianli with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Senior, why... are you here?"

"Drink some water to warm your stomach first." Bu Qianli did not answer directly, but poured a cup of warm water from the table and carefully handed it to Chi Dong's mouth.

Chi Dong's face flushed red, and he reached out to take it, but Bu Qianli dodged it silently. Helplessly, he could only follow his hand and slowly drink a few sips.

"Do you want to drink more?" Bu Qianli asked in a low voice.

"No, thank you." Chi Dong shook his head and refused. Then he hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking again, "Senior, you haven't told me why you came to the hospital..."

Bu Qianli paused for a moment after putting down the cup, and replied calmly, "Lu Jinjiang called me and told me."
