The ward where Lu Lingxi was located was on the third floor of the inpatient department. He remembered that there were several pots of large-leafed green ivy placed at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor of the inpatient department. He also saw it when he was pushed by the nurse to the first floor for a CT scan last time because he was unable to move.
Thinking of those potted plants, Lu Lingxi quickly straightened his hospital gown, changed his shoes and prepared to go and take a look.
"Xiao Lu, where are you going?" The person asking the question was Sister Tian, the wife of bed 19 patient Brother Li.
During the days when Lu Lingxi was hospitalized, although the people in the ward had a bad impression of Wang Shuxiu, they could not find any fault with Lu Lingxi. The child was good-looking and polite, and very likable. Especially although Lu Lingxi was alone and had no one to take care of him, he rarely bothered others, even the nurses, and did everything he could do by himself. In the eyes of everyone, he was so sensible that it made people feel distressed, and everyone was willing to help him when there was something.
Sister Tian had just fed Brother Li his meal. When she turned around and saw Lu Lingxi was about to go out, she asked casually.
"Go downstairs and buy some things." Lu Lingxi explained.
"Can you do it alone? Do you want me to go with you?" Sister Tian was a little worried.
Lu Lingxi smiled shyly, "It's OK, I can do it alone."
When Lu Lingxi left the room, several people in the ward sighed, saying that the child was really pitiful. He had been in the hospital for so many days, and he had not seen any other relatives except Wang Shuxiu. From Wang Shuxiu's tone, the child did have a father, but such a father was worse than having no father at all, who neither gave money nor worked, and it seemed that he had a bad relationship with Wang Shuxiu and her son. To be honest, they were a little uncomfortable with Wang Shuxiu at the beginning, especially several female family members, who thought that Wang Shuxiu was not serious. But after getting along for a long time, they found that Wang Shuxiu was just dressed a little out of the ordinary, and she was not what they thought. In particular, although Wang Shuxiu spoke rudely and often quarreled with doctors and nurses, she still cared about Lu Lingxi. Thinking about it, it was not easy for her to be a woman, everyone did not have as many opinions about Wang Shuxiu as they did at the beginning.
Lu Lingxi didn't know about the gossip behind the scenes. He was actually not very good at getting along with people around him. His social life in the past was too monotonous. Apart from his parents, family members and doctors, he rarely met outsiders. He had never experienced a small environment like a multi-person ward before. He could feel the kindness of people around him, but he didn't know how to respond and how to measure the response.
Lu Lingxi didn't take the elevator but took the stairs to the first floor. He also felt that his body had recovered well. Whenever he had the chance, he would rather move more. He bought some things at the store on the first floor. He pretended to be curious and stood in front of the potted plant at the door. While no one was around, he quickly reached out and touched the green radish leaves in front of him. Soon a white panel appeared.
Plant name: Pothos
Plant requirements: None
Plant survival rate: high
Lu Lingxi's eyes lit up. Just as he expected, the white panel could display not only spider plants, but other plants as well. The pot of green ivy in front of him was obviously well taken care of. Although he didn't get the heart of the plant, Lu Lingxi was still in a good mood. He walked around the lobby on the first floor, intending to look at all the green ivy on the first floor.
One basin, two basins, three basins... When Lu Lingxi went around the west gate, the records on the white panel changed.
Plant name: Pothos
Plant needs: Water
Plant survival rate: high
Lu Lingxi quickly unscrewed a bottle of water and carefully poured it into the flowerpot. But surprisingly, the plant's needs on the panel did not change, and it still showed that it needed water.
"Watering the flowers?" a familiar voice sounded behind him.
Lu Lingxi was startled, "Doctor Su."
Behind Lu Lingxi, Su Lang stood there in a simple T-shirt and jeans, looking at Lu Lingxi with a gentle expression. After taking off the white hospital coat, Su Lang lost some of the seriousness at work and gained some of the brightness that only young people have.
Lu Lingxi nodded. Su Lang smiled and stood behind him. He looked at the green radish and said, "The soil has been watered enough. The leaves also need some spraying."
Lu Lingxi listened to him and gently sprinkled a circle of water on the leaves. The plant's needs quickly changed. A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously looked up at Su Lang.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Lingxi smiled and said, "Doctor Su, you really know a lot."
His smile fell into Su Lang's eyes, and Su Lang couldn't help but look a little dazed. This was the second time that he saw the shadow of that boy in Lu Lingxi. Ever since the boy suddenly died of heavy bleeding during the operation, this incident has become a demon in his heart.
"Doctor Su?"
Su Lang quickly came back to his senses, smiled to cover up, and explained: "I only know a little bit, I learned it from my grandfather. He has nothing to do now that he is retired, so he likes to grow flowers and plants and so on."
Lu Lingxi had a good impression of Grandpa Su and asked with concern, "Is Grandpa Su feeling better?"
Su Lang nodded. The old man was actually fine. It was more that the incident happened suddenly and his blood pressure was a little high due to the stimulation. He would be fine after some rest.
"That's good. If everything is ok, Doctor Su, I'll go back to the ward first." Lu Lingxi said goodbye politely. He and Su Lang were quite familiar with each other before, but because of this, he was a little afraid of Su Lang, afraid that Su Lang would see something. Although the idea of soul transformation was a bit absurd, it was hard to prevent him from being too similar to his past self and arousing Su Lang's suspicion.
Su Lang seemed to want to say something, but his cell phone rang. The moment Lu Lingxi turned around, he saw from the corner of his eye that Su Lang picked up the phone and went upstairs without stopping.
"Hello?" Su Lang waved hurriedly to Lu Lingxi and answered the phone.
"I'm Ye Kang." The person on the other end of the phone said in a deep voice.
Su Lang's expression relaxed. "What's the matter?"
Ye Kang's voice came out, "Yan Yue is back, let's have a meal together."
"Yan Yue has returned to China?" Su Lang was quite surprised by the news, and then said regretfully: "There is no chance to have dinner. I resigned and now I am not in Zhongjing and I am back in Fengcheng."
"You resigned?" This time it was Ye Kang's turn to be surprised, "Why? Aren't you going to be promoted to deputy director soon?"
"Something happened at home." Su Lang explained vaguely.
"Forget it, Yan Yue will probably stay in the country for a longer time this time, we'll talk about it when we have time."
The two talked for a few more words and quickly hung up the phone.
Su Lang and Ye Kang met when they were studying abroad. They were students at the same medical school, one majoring in clinical medicine and the other in psychology. Since they were both Chinese, they hit it off at a hometown gathering and soon became friends. Through Ye Kang, Su Lang met Yan Yue. Yan Yue was a student in the Department of Finance at another university. He and Ye Kang had been friends since childhood, and the Yan and Ye families were even older friends. After studying for a few years, the three of them had always had a good relationship and often had dinner together until Su Lang and Ye Kang returned to China one after another, while Yan Yue stayed abroad and took over the Yan family's overseas company.
Su Lang remembered that he and Ye Kang talked about Yan Yue on the phone a few times before, and Ye Kang said that Yan Yue would not return to China in the short term. How come Yan Yue suddenly returned to China a few days later, and according to Ye Kang, he would stay in China for a while? Although Su Lang had a good relationship with Yan Yue, perhaps because of Yan Yue's personality, he didn't know much about Yan Yue. He vaguely heard Ye Kang say that Yan Yue's family was troublesome. Could it be that something happened in Yan Yue's family? After thinking about it, Su Lang couldn't figure out anything, so he decided to call Yan Yue later to say hello.
Zhongjing Ye's Psychological Clinic
Ye Kang hung up the phone and returned to the office. In front of the French window, Yan Yue, dressed in a black suit, stood there and looked out the window. The well-fitting suit wrapped around his slender body, making him look even more upright.
Hearing the door closing, Yan Yue turned around and asked, "What did Su Lang say?"
Ye Kang whistled at Yan Yue, "Keep this pose, I'll take a picture and sell it to my cousin."
It was almost evening, and the street lights outside were turned on one by one. The bright lights illuminated Yan Yue's profile, and he was as handsome as the sun. Among Su Lang, Ye Kang, and Yan Yue, Su Lang had the best personality, Ye Kang was the most narcissistic, and Yan Yue was the most handsome, a handsome man with heroic spirit.
Yan Yue didn't take Ye Kang's words seriously. He pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat down, repeating the question: "What did Su Lang say?"
Ye Kang spread his hands, "He resigned and is not in Zhongjing now, so there is no chance of having dinner with him."
"Resign?" Yan Yue was just as surprised as Ye Kang. "Didn't you say he was going to be promoted soon?"
Ye Kang shook his head, "Maybe something happened at home."
The reason of having something happen at home resonated with Yan Yue. His brows slightly furrowed, and although he relaxed quickly, Ye Kang still saw it. Ye Kang had heard Yan Yue talk about why he returned to China this time. What he was worried about was not that Yan Yue could not handle the family affairs, but Yan Yue's own state.
"Have you been in touch with Professor Susan recently?"
Professor Susan, as Ye Kang called her, was his teacher in school, and she had profound attainments in psychology. Yan Yue had always had serious psychological problems because of her family environment. It was just that Yan Yue refused to mention it, and Yan Yue's parents didn't know about it. Ye Kang was influenced by Yan Yue when he chose psychology as his major. He knew that Yan Yue was very reluctant to talk about family matters to strangers, so when he had to return to China a few years ago, he entrusted Yan Yue to Professor Susan, who was familiar with both of them.
Ye Kang's question made Yan Yue frown, and he answered irrelevantly: "Aren't you hungry? Let's go eat."
The more he avoided it, the more Ye Kang felt that Yan Yue's problem had worsened. But Yan Yue didn't want to talk about it, and Ye Kang's eyes flashed with worry, but he held back and didn't ask any more questions.
It was already past nine o'clock when the two of them finished dinner. Ye Kang had his own house in the city of Zhongjing, and Yan Yue drove back to the Yan family mansion alone. The Yan family mansion is located at the foot of the most famous Xiangshan Mountain in Zhongjing. It covers a large area and is an antique courtyard with four entrances. When Yan Yue's grandfather built this house, he wanted the descendants of the Yan family to have many branches and leaves, and the family to live together in harmony. Unfortunately, until the old man passed away, the owners of the Yan family mansion were only Yan Yue's parents and Yan Yue. Later, Yan Yue's parents left the young Yan Yue and moved out of the mansion, and Yan Yue was the only owner of the mansion.
When Yan Yue came back, there were only a few lights flickering in the Yan family, and most of the house was shrouded in deep darkness. Compared with the bright lights and people in the Ye family not far from the Yan family, the Yan family looked like a haunted house.
After receiving the news that Yan Yue had returned, the Yan family's housekeeper quickly came over to greet him. "Master."
Yan Yue nodded and walked past the housekeeper towards his own yard.
The housekeeper took a few quick steps and followed behind Yan Yue, carefully observing Yan Yue's expression, and said in embarrassment: "The second young lady..."
Yan Yue paused for a moment and asked without turning his head, "What happened to her?"
The housekeeper answered carefully: "The second young lady said that she wanted to see you, young master, and said that the lady had something to tell her. If she can't see you, she will...she will die."
Yan Yue's expression remained unchanged as he said lightly, "Then let her die."
The housekeeper wiped the sweat off his face and smiled bitterly at Yan Yue's back, not daring to say anything. As for the second young lady who was not legitimate, the housekeeper shook his head in his heart, Madam, let her continue like this, in the end, the young master really has no mother-son relationship with her anymore.
