Chapter 90 Lu Jinjiang

Debt of Favor

Looking at the lush environment outside the classroom, the cicadas are chirping, the leaves are rustling in the distance, and the air is filled with a fresh woody fragrance.

Chidong walked slowly on the school road. Three years had passed in a flash, like a white horse passing by in a blink of an eye.

Passing by the pavilion, Chi Dong found a stone bench and sat down, sighing inaudibly. Some time ago, when he returned home, he saw that his father's hair was getting whiter and his mother was getting thinner. Occasionally, he could hear her coughing slightly in the middle of the night.

When he proposed to take Chi's mother to the hospital for treatment, she kept making excuses and refused.

Later, Chi Dong and Chi's father discussed a way to let Chi's father pretend to be sick and trick her into going to the hospital. As a result, the shrewd Chi's mother recognized her at a glance. In the end, she turned around, tears streaming down her face, pretending to look at the father and son pitifully. Facing her pleading eyes, he and Chi's father couldn't bear it, and had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Chi Dong asked Chi's father to show him the latest case. Although he was not a doctor and could not understand it, he could take it to the hospital to ask the doctor about the condition.

As a result, just as Dad Chi found the medical record from the cabinet, Mom Chi rushed in and snatched the record away while they were not paying attention.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Chi Dong looked at her in surprise, not understanding what was going on.

"My dear, there's nothing interesting about this medical record. Didn't mommy tell you? I've recovered from my illness a long time ago, so you can go back to school without worry." Mother Chi smiled and pulled Chi Dong with one hand to prevent him from seeing it. With the other hand, she held the thin medical record and hid it behind her back.

Chi Dong frowned, and his intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with this medical record. "Mom, give me the medical record first, and I'll go back after I finish reading it."

"Oh, I'm really fine. Look at me, I can eat, drink, and even dance in the square. I have so much energy."

Chi's mother pushed his back towards the door, and then, when Chi Dong wasn't paying attention, she turned around and glanced at Chi's father fiercely, with complaints and dissatisfaction in her eyes, "What a jerk your father is. Why is he rummaging through the cupboards to find medical records? Didn't he see that I was busy in the kitchen alone? He didn't even come out to help. Did he want to tire me to death?"

Father Chi, who was standing innocently by her side, was severely reprimanded by her. He dared not get angry or say anything, and could only follow them obediently to the living room. Seeing this, Chi Dong knew that the medical record review was definitely a failure, but before leaving the room, he turned around inadvertently and saw Father Chi giving him a look that told him to be patient and wait for his news.

As expected, the next day after he returned to school, Chi's father immediately sent him a few pictures of Chi's mother's medical records. When Chi Dong received the pictures, he was on his way back from the study room. He looked around and finally found a stone bench on the side of the road where no one was, and put down his heavy backpack.

After sitting down, he opened the pictures and zoomed in to see that the first few pictures were previous medical records, which he had seen before. However, the pictures at the back were the latest examination results, and the dates were the days when he took the exam.

Chi Dong frowned and compared the numbers on the list carefully several times. He was surprised to find that his mother was not lying when she said that his condition had improved.

However, to be on the safe side, he decided to go to the hospital tomorrow to ask the doctor about the situation and learn more about the efficacy and side effects of the new drug.

He still had many concerns about this new drug, worrying that something bad would happen after taking it. Most importantly, Chi Dong felt that his mother's recent mood was very wrong.

Sometimes she would become restless and randomly press buttons on the TV or yell at her late father; sometimes she would become unusually quiet, staring at the TV silently without saying a word, and would not even respond when he called her, as if she could not hear him.

Chi Dong sat on the empty school road, feeling extremely uneasy. He turned on his phone to seek advice from others, but there were very few people around him who could give him advice.

Lin Jie and Zhou Yize's courses were somewhat different from his. They had several elective courses that they had not finished taking, and Chi Dong did not want to disturb them.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had a very good friend in high school. The two of them could talk about anything. Although they went to different universities, one in the north and the other in the south, whenever his friend went home for the long vacation in late winter, he would ask him out to meet and chat.

It's just that during this period, colleges and universities across the country were taking final exams. Chi Dong still remembers that the last time they chatted was two months ago. My friend suddenly said that she had found a boyfriend and she would bring him home to meet him during the holidays.

Hearing that his friend's place was one of the largest cities, Chi Dong thought there might be some good doctors there. Just as he was hesitating whether to ask his friend about the situation, his phone suddenly vibrated, and when he looked down, a message popped up.

[Ten Steps]: Have you finished the exam? [Little man pops up.jpg]

[Hibernation]: Yeah, I just finished the exam.

His relationship with Bu Qianli became more and more familiar. Although they had never met, Chi Dong had already regarded him as a friend in his heart.

[Ten Steps]: What happened?

The message sent by the other party the next second made Chi Dong a little surprised. How did he know that he had encountered a problem?

[Hibernation]:?

[Ten Steps]: The villain has stopped posting emoticons, so something must have happened.

[Hibernation]: ……

[Ten Steps]: Tell me what you mean.

Chi Dong hesitated for a moment, and finally gave a general account of the current situation.

[Ten Steps]: Do you suspect there is a problem with your case or medication?

[Hibernation]: Yes, although the medical records said everything was going well, some of my family members' conditions made me feel something was not right. I was worried that the doctor was falsifying the information.

[Shibu]: Well, it's a good thing to have some consideration. I'll take care of this. Tomorrow you can take your medical records and the medicines to Jinghe Hospital to see a doctor named Lu Jinjiang. He will help you then.

Chi Dong was stunned by his words. Was he right? Jinghe Hospital? Was he talking about the number one hospital in Beijing? If he had known earlier, all the doctors there would be great experts in the medical field. Even making an appointment would require several months in advance.

He had thought about taking Chi's mother to Jinghe Hospital before, but he was unable to make an appointment, so he had to go to other hospitals as a second choice.

He didn't expect Bu Qianli to know the doctors there, and he didn't need to make an appointment. The most important thing was that they had never even met, but Bu Qianli was willing to help him so much, and he didn't know how to thank her.

[冬藏夏眠]: Thank you, great God. Thank you so much for helping me. I don’t know how to repay you.

[Ten Steps]: [Little Man Patting Head.jpg]

[Ten Steps]: This is a piece of cake for me. Don't worry, just get a good night's sleep tonight and go to the hospital tomorrow and follow the doctor's instructions.

[Hibernation]: Yeah, ok. [The little man bows.jpg]

[Ten Steps]: Go ahead, go back and rest, don’t play games tonight, it won’t be too late to go online after you’ve dealt with your things.

[Hibernation]: Okay, then I won’t disturb you from working and will go back to the dormitory first.

[Shibu]: Hmm. [The little man waves.jpg]

[Winter Hibernation]: [Goodnight.jpg]

After finishing his meal, he returned to the dormitory. Everyone else hadn't returned yet. Chi Dong put down his backpack, took out a few books and put them back on the bookshelf. His eyes inadvertently caught sight of the laptop on the table.

I haven't turned on my computer for half a month, and a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the surface.

Chi Dong felt itchy as he looked at the computer. He was about to turn it on, but then he thought of what Bu Qianli said, and stopped pressing the keys.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether I play today or tomorrow. Since I promised, I still have to fulfill my promise." He muttered softly, and actually stopped trying to open the computer. He turned around and started cleaning the dormitory.

After they finished their work, they happened to meet Zhou Yize and Lin Jie who came back with midnight snacks in their hands. After they had a full meal, they went to the bathhouse to take a bath together. Since the boss and Zhou Yize had exams the next day, they didn't make a fuss for long and went to bed to rest.

The next morning, when Chi Dong got up, Lin Jie and Zhou Yize were not in the dormitory. It seemed that they had gone to take an exam.

He looked up at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already eight o'clock. He quickly got out of bed and walked to the balcony. He spent more than ten minutes tidying himself up. Then he put on his shoes, walked to the bookshelf, and pulled out a few thin sheets of paper.

This was yesterday after dinner. Chi Dong was on his way back to the dormitory and passed by a self-service printing machine. Thinking that it would be easier to see with pictures, he spent some money and printed out several pictures sent by Chi's father on the self-service machine.

After preparing all these, Chi Dong locked the door of his dormitory, walked to the school gate, took a taxi and went directly to Jinghe Hospital. He originally wanted to take the bus, but he finally had the chance to make an appointment with a doctor at Jinghe, so it was better to go there early to avoid any accidents and delays.

As soon as he got off the car, Chi Dong was stunned by the buildings in front of him. These buildings did not give him the feeling of being in a hospital, but rather some elegant art building.

Looking at the busy doorway in front of him, Chi Dong paused, tightly grasped the paper with his white and tender fingers, took a long breath, walked calmly into the room and went straight to the information desk.

"Hello, I...I have an appointment with Dr. Lu Jinjiang. Which floor is Dr. Lu on?"

There were several young nurses sitting at the consultation table. There was an endless stream of family members and patients coming for consultation. It took a long time before it was Chidong's turn to have a consultation.

When they heard that they were looking for Dr. Lu Jinjiang, the nurses who were busy working with their heads down suddenly looked up and stared at Chi Dong.

Chi Dong was frightened by the looks they all gave him and took a step back.
