Jiang Zhiming thought of the past and then of the present, and the contrast sent a shiver down his spine. Lin Tingyue truly understood him; she was right. He never wanted to go back to the past, to live that terrible life again, which was like hell. Therefore, he couldn't go too far; he had to restrain himself.
After making this decision, Jiang Zhiming forced a smile, looked at Lin Tingyue, and said gently, "Tingyue, you've misunderstood. Ye Wenyu and I are just ordinary classmates. In my heart, there's only—" He trailed off, looking at Lin Tingyue, but Ye Wenyu's beautiful image kept flashing through his mind. Loving someone is something one can't control or choose, which is why he couldn't help but be so deeply attached to her.
However, looking into Lin Tingyue's bright, star-like eyes, a few minutes passed before Jiang Zhiming composed himself and said, with great difficulty, "In my heart, there is only you." He uttered the word "you" with immense difficulty.
Lin Tingfeng's anger turned to joy, and she took Jiang Zhiming's arm, the two of them walking side by side toward where she had parked her car.
Ye Wenyu stayed in the hospital for a few more days until she fully recovered and was discharged.
On the day of her discharge, Yuan Yuan was in school. She had warned Lin Tingfeng beforehand not to come over, and he wisely did not show up. So she was the only one handling the discharge procedures. Fortunately, her leg injury had now healed, so running up and down the stairs was no problem.
Modern hospitals are cleaner and more luxurious than five-star hotels, with gleaming glass walls everywhere.
As she packed her toiletries and left the ward to settle her hospital bill at the payment window on the first floor, she felt nervous and uneasy.
Because she was penniless, she stayed in the hospital for nearly ten days. She didn't know how much the total cost was; it must be an astronomical figure, right? Although Lin Tingfeng had already paid a large sum of money for her in advance, hospitalization costs much more than staying in a five-star hotel. She was very worried that when she was discharged, the hospital might still need her to pay tens of thousands of yuan, and she didn't have a single penny on her.
What should I do? Thinking about this, my heart felt heavy, as if it were filled with lead.
Ye Wenyu walked step by step toward the checkout window, her legs trembling with fear. Her face was pale, and she nervously looked around, thinking that if she really needed to pay tens of thousands more yuan, then the only way would be for her to secretly escape from the hospital.
Because she simply didn't have the money to settle the account.
Although escaping from the hospital and refusing to pay is very unethical and shameful, she is poor. Faced with survival, dignity and face can only lie on the ground bleeding.
Alas, it is so painful to be poor in this world. When will I be able to stop being poor?
After thinking it over, Ye Wenyu slowly walked to the window, mustered up her courage and told the staff at the window that she wanted to be discharged and settle her bill. The staff calculated the bills and, after a while, smiled at her and said, "The extra money has been deposited into your bank card. Take a look."
Ye Wenyu was stunned. She never expected that not only would she not have to pay any more money, but the hospital would also ask her for money! At this moment, her phone rang, and she heard the sound of money coming into her bank account. She picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from the bank, informing her that 30,000 yuan had been transferred into her account.
The hospital actually gave her back 30,000 yuan?!
This was simply unbelievable. Ye Wenyu's tense nerves completely relaxed, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face. Just now, she was afraid that she would owe a large sum of money again, and she was even planning to run away like a rabbit when the hospital security guards were not paying attention. Now that she knew that not only did she not have to run away, but she also had tens of thousands of yuan more in her bank card, she couldn't help but feel very happy and relaxed.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and fell into thought.
But how could there be extra money? This is the first time I've heard of making money while hospitalized.
Ye Wenyu stared blankly at the extra amount in her bank card, then asked the clerk at the window curiously, "Why did you refund so much money?"
The staff member smiled, looked at her detailed payment history for hospitalization, and said to her, "You have paid three times in total. The first time was 30,000, the second time was 50,000, and the third time was 100,000."
What? Who paid her money? She learned from the nurse that Lin Tingfeng was the one who paid her hospital fees the first time.
She asked the staff, puzzled, "Do you know who paid the second and third times?"
The staff member smiled and said to her, "So many people are admitted and discharged every day, how could I remember? Let me see—" She looked at Ye Wenyu's hospital payment list and said to Ye Wenyu, "It's the same person, because all three payments were transferred from the same account."
Ye Wenyu then understood, and a warm feeling washed over her. Lin Tingfeng had actually paid her hospital fees three times during her hospitalization. When she was in the hospital, she was puzzled. Based on the past experiences of her relatives and friends who were hospitalized, the nurses would always bring a hospital fee payment slip every day or two, urging them to pay. But she had been hospitalized for so long, and there had never been any reminders to pay.
It turned out that Lin Tingfeng had paid all the money for her, and even overpaid. Naturally, the hospital would welcome someone like that.
Ye Wenyu slowly turned around and stared blankly at the extra money in her bank card. She thought to herself that she owed Lin Tingfeng a huge favor again, but how was she going to repay this hospital bill? By the end of the year, she would still owe someone 50,000 yuan, so she had no idea when she would repay Lin Tingfeng's debt.
Ye Wenyu recalled the scenes of them together in her previous life.
In her previous life, Lin Tingfeng and Ye Wenyu argued because of Lin Tingxuan. Ye Wenyu considered leaving, but after wandering around, she found that her real life was as cruel as a knife. She was very afraid and did not want to return to her previous poor and tiring life. Therefore, she returned home and reconciled with Lin Tingfeng.
The two seemed to have done nothing wrong. When Lin Tingfeng heard that Ye Wenyu and Lin Tingyue had gone shopping and returned early in the evening, walking back by themselves, he suggested that she learn to drive and personally accompanied her to the driving school to practice.
A few months later, Ye Wenyu got her driver's license. She was very happy when she held it in her hand. Lin Tingfeng smiled and said to her slowly, "Let's go buy a car. Tell me, what kind of car do you like?"
Ye Wenyu shook her head, carefully placed the driver's license in the drawer and locked it, and said to him, "I don't want to buy a car. I just want to study quietly and don't want to be noticed."
