Chapter 146 Is It Exciting?
This hot pot meal was incredibly satisfying, but hot pot is what it is, so it's inevitable that the soup will spill. Besides, Lin Xi wasn't particularly careful, as she was a bit overwhelmed by Shen Sangning's kindness to her. It was inevitable that she'd eat with such gusto that the soup would splash out without her realizing it.
The worst part was, most of the things in the hospital were white. Her bed had white sheets, a white quilt, and white pillowcases.
A few drops of bright red hot pot soup fell on the quilt, and soon solidified, becoming extremely conspicuous.
Lin Xi inevitably felt a little guilty, but she quickly comforted herself: This is a world of ghost stories with rules, and the people who wash the quilts are ghosts anyway, so she doesn't need to feel guilty or kind.
So Lin Xi became unreasonable and arrogant again.
After finishing the hot pot, the difficult cleanup process began. This time, Chen Sangning didn't let Lin Xi do it, choosing to do it herself. She clicked her fingers, and the pots and pans, as if under a spell, automatically floated up and followed Chen Sangning into the bathroom.
She was washing dishes in the bathroom but didn't close the door, so Lin Xi saw Shen Sangning pour all the hot pot soup and uneaten dishes into the toilet and directly pressed the water button.
"..." Could it be that he brought Shen Sang Ning back from the last instance? How could he flush it down the toilet? Lin Xi swallowed, looking at her wide eyes, a hint of guilt on his face. "Don't follow Ning Ning's lead, everyone in front of the screen. We're in a special situation right now, and we're doing this to save our lives. The correct way is to pack up the food waste and put it in the appropriate trash can!"
She had said this in the previous instance, and now she was more comfortable saying it.
After Shen Sangning finished washing the dishes, she opened her mouth and demonstrated to Lin Xi and the audience what it meant to have a big mouth and swallow everything. She swallowed all the pots, pans, and utensils she had just eaten, leaving nothing behind.
Shen Sangning's mouth was naturally not that big, and no matter how wide she opened her mouth, she couldn't eat such a big pot. Lin Xi could see that the pot that had just been used to cook the hot pot was slowly getting smaller in her sight, and then it was swallowed by Shen Sangning.
Come to think of it, Shen Sang Ning had taken it out of his mouth just now in the same way.
Lin Xi didn't mind eating what Chen Sang Ning took out of her mouth, but it was a bit unhygienic. Lin Xi wanted to bring up the old issue of sanitation, but after thinking it over, it seemed like this was the only way this time. Otherwise, did she really have to eat in the cafeteria? She didn't want to!
There are some hot pot oil stains on the bed now, so I need to change the quilt cover. Lin Xi knows where the utility room is, and is going to change the quilt cover in the utility room. The people in this copy seem to deliberately pretend not to see Shen Sang Ning, so as to confirm her delusion, so Lin Xi simply doesn't let Shen Sang Ning hide, and holds her hand and prepares to go to the utility room together.
Lin Xi would only let Chen Sang Ning come back when she was about to do something bad, so as not to be discovered. The two of them were still too big a target.
As soon as Lin Xi took Shen Sang Ning out, the nurse at the nurse station saw her, so she turned around and walked out of the nurse station and asked Lin Xi: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"The one in my room is dirty, I want to change it."
The nurse looked at Lin Xi for a moment and said, "Can't it be later? At nine o'clock, the aunt will come and push the door to ask which beds need to be changed."
Lin Xi looked up at the time. It was half past five when the staff came to deliver the meal. They had eaten hot pot in the room for an hour. Chen Sang Ning cleaned up for a while. It was only seven o'clock now, and there were still two hours. Logically, Lin Xi could wait, but the corridor was empty and there was no sound. Lin Xi realized the problem.
There must be sleeping pills in the food. Otherwise, how could these "critically ill patients" be so quiet?
So Lin Xi pretended to be very sleepy: "But I'm a little sleepy now and want to rest. Can you change my clothes first?"
Seeing her like this, the nurse could only nod and say, "Go back to your ward first. I'll find your aunt for you." Lin Xi didn't have anything to go out for, so she nodded and went back to the ward.
After a while, the aunt came over with a cart and knocked on Lin Xi's door. Lin Xi walked over and saw the aunt holding a set of bedding: "Do you want to change your hospital clothes?"
"want."
Lin Xi took a clean set and turned to ask the aunt to come in and help change. After the aunt came in, she changed the sheets for Lin Xi quickly, but after taking the quilt in her hand, she couldn't help but wrinkled her nose and sniffed: "What's that smell?"
Lin Xi played dumb: "Ah? Is there a smell? Am I smelly?"
"No...it's a fragrant and spicy smell. What is that smell?"
After hearing her aunt's description, Lin Xi guessed that hot pot wasn't eaten in this world. She hadn't seen any hot pot restaurants before, and most restaurants served simple meals. And if her aunt had ever eaten hot pot, she'd probably be able to tell it was hot pot right away, because the smell was so unique.
It seems that the residents of the rule-based weird world do not have a good diet.
After finding out that the aunt didn't know what hot pot was, Lin Xi became much bolder, and the guilt of "accidentally dirtying the sheets and needing the aunt to clean them" gradually disappeared. She started to argue in front of the aunt: "The food in the kitchen today was too spicy. I felt spicy when I ate it, so the food tasted spicy when it dripped on me."
"How can the cafeteria make such spicy food? The patients all need to eat light meals. What if something goes wrong with this spicy food...Should I talk to the doctor later?"
Hearing the aunt's kindness, Lin Xi immediately replied, "Forget it. The cafeteria definitely didn't do it on purpose. If we tell the doctor and the dean finds out, they might lose their jobs." Lin Xi looked compassionate and kind, "Alas, it's hard to find a job these days. Let's not make things difficult for them."
"That's right." The aunt didn't ask any more questions. She changed the bedding and waited for Lin Xi to go to the bathroom to change clothes. Then she took the things that Lin Xi had changed out of the room.
Door.
After that, Lin Xi stayed in the room and chatted with Shen Sang Ning. After waiting for more than an hour, Shen Sang Ning reminded her: "Lin Xi, the nurse is here." Of course, the nurse came to give her medicine, and Lin Xi immediately nodded to indicate that she understood.
Lin Xi quickly pulled up the quilt and covered herself, pretending that she had fallen asleep because of the effect of the medicine in the meal. The nurse called Lin Xi's name several times, and Lin Xi seemed to "wake up leisurely". She was not very good at other acting skills, but she was good at acting like a spoiled child, pretending to sleep, and pretending to have just woken up.
The former was used to fool Shen Sang Ning, and the latter was used to fool his parents when they were still alive.
As expected, the nurse didn't notice at all and handed her the medicine just as she had done that afternoon. Lin Xi pretended to swallow the medicine, but she actually held it in her hand and didn't even put it in her mouth. The nurse left after she finished taking the medicine.
On the first night, Lin Xi didn't plan to move much, so she just stayed in her room without going out. Soon it was time to turn off the lights, and Lin Xi turned off the lights in her ward at 9:30. At 10 o'clock, the lights were turned off on time, and at this time, the broadcast sounded in the ward.
"It's lights out time now. Please stay in the ward and don't go out. The staff will not disturb you during lights out time. Please go to sleep peacefully."
The broadcast ended, but the lights outside were still on. It seemed that turning off the lights only meant for the patients, not for the doctors and nurses to rest. This was also the case in hospitals in the real world, where medical staff were required to work night shifts.
Lin Xi yawned, hugged Shen Sang Ning, and fell asleep in a daze.
She thought she would sleep till dawn, Lin Xi's sleep quality was so good, but halfway through, Shen Sang Ning called Lin Xi up. Her voice was very soft, but because it was right next to Lin Xi's ear, Lin Xi still heard it clearly.
Lin Xi opened her eyes dazedly, and just when she was about to ask "what's wrong", she found that Chen Sang Ning's somewhat cold palm was covering her mouth, meaning that she should not speak. Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes, and nodded slowly, indicating that she understood.
Shen Sangning then let go of Lin Xi's mouth. There was still a light outside the ward, shining in from the small window on the door and falling on the empty passage in front of the bed. Lin Xi slowly sat up at Shen Sangning's reminder, and saw that there was something wrong with the light falling on the passage.
Logically speaking, the window is a small square, and the light that falls should also be a rectangle. But at this moment, there is a circle of black in the rectangle, and it is easy to see that it is a human figure. In other words... at this moment, there is a person standing in front of his door, not moving forward.
This news made Lin Xi inevitably feel goose bumps all over her body. She had been sleeping for a while. It was late at night. Even if the nurse was on duty, she couldn't just stick to her door and look inside.
This is a world of rules and ghost stories. Even though Chen Sang Ning is by her side, Lin Xi knows she is safe, but she still can't help but feel a little scared. She knows that this ghost can't hurt her, but knowing is knowing, and fear is fear. This feeling is like watching a horror movie. You know that the ghost is only on the screen, but you will still be scared by the terrifying scene.
Lin Xi stared at the shadow for a long time and couldn't help but shudder towards Chen Sang Ning. Chen Sang Ning took the opportunity to hug Lin Xi. Chen Sang Ning's embrace was quite cold, which made Lin Xi shiver violently again.
The shadow didn't leave. Lin Xi counted the seconds slowly in her mind. It took about fifteen or sixteen minutes before the shadow disappeared and the light appeared again. Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and heard Shen Sang Ning next to her say, "Lin Xi, isn't it exciting?"
"..." Lin Xi raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Sangning. At this moment, she really wanted to knock on Shen Sangning's head to see what was going on in her stupid little head. However, Shen Sangning looked very happy, and Lin Xi couldn't ruin her mood. Although she was startled, she still nodded:
"really."
Shen Sangning continued, "Wife, you've been lying in bed so you don't know, but this nurse is different. She's wearing a pink nurse uniform!"
Lin Xi's eyelid twitched, its right eyelid.
This is not a good sign, and there shouldn't be nurses in pink uniforms in the hospital.
