Gu Guizhi frowned and said honestly, "No."
"Impossible," Zheng Yang said in disbelief. "I just heard from the nurse that the doctor who examined you is Dr. Sun. Dr. Sun's surgery is scheduled for next month. Without some connections, it's impossible to jump the queue."
Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng looked at each other. They really didn't know.
It seems that they owe the Feng family a big favor.
However, it was impossible for the two to admit it on their faces.
In order to prevent Zheng Yang from asking more questions, Gu Guizhi asked Qi Mengmeng to lie down on the bed and sleep for a while.
Qi Mengmeng shook her head. The bed in the hospital was not big. What if she fell asleep and ran into Gu Guizhi?
"I'm not too sleepy. I'll just sit on the stool and take a nap. You should go to sleep quickly, otherwise you won't be energetic." Qi Mengmeng didn't say anything and leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. Gu Guizhi had no choice but to lie down with his clothes on.
Zheng Yang understood what the couple meant, but didn't say anything.
Gu Guizhi slept for about half an hour before the nurse came in, woke the two of them up, and took Gu Guizhi for a check-up.
Gu Guizhi sat in the wheelchair, and Qi Mengmeng pushed him and followed behind the nurse.
In one afternoon, Gu Guizhi underwent several examinations.
Qi Mengmeng carefully looked at the expressions on each doctor's face, but could not see anything.
After a busy afternoon, it was already half past five when Qi Mengmeng returned to the ward. She let out a long sigh and let Gu Guizhi lie down on the bed to rest while she went to buy dinner.
After running all afternoon today, Qi Mengmeng felt her legs were weak. She had no appetite, so she bought a pound of dumplings.
Gu Guizhi has never been picky about food. He always eats whatever Qi Mengmeng buys.
After dinner, Qi Mengmeng went to wash the lunch box, fetched water for Gu Guizhi to wash, and then took the basin to wash herself.
Qi Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief only after everything was done. This job of serving others was really tiring. It was like a spinning top, spinning non-stop.
After finally sitting on the chair for a while, the nurse came to inform Gu Guizhi that he could not eat or drink water tomorrow morning and that he had to undergo a checkup.
Qi Mengmeng asked if the test results this afternoon were out?
The nurse shook her head: "We don't know that. You can ask the doctor tomorrow."
Qi Mengmeng sent the nurse away, and Qin Xiaoya next door had already packed up and was ready to leave.
"Aren't you going to stay here with me at night?" Although Qi Mengmeng didn't like Qin Xiaoya's personality, she still asked.
"Where can I sleep if I stay here with you?" Qin Xiaoya looked at the stool she had just sat on with disdain, "I'll go home and sleep, and come back tomorrow morning."
Qi Mengmeng was a little stunned. Even if Zheng Yang injured his arm, what if he needed help at night?
Zheng Yang said, "I am almost well now. I don't need anyone to take care of me anymore."
Qi Mengmeng shut her mouth. Since others said so, she would not meddle in other people's business.
Seeing this, Gu Guizhi said to Qi Mengmeng, "Why don't you find a guesthouse to stay in at night? It's hard to rest here."
"No, your leg is injured. What if you have to get up at night? I'm here to take care of you." Qi Mengmeng waved her hand.
When the cake shop first opened, she didn’t have enough money, so she gave up the rented house and simply spread some cardboard on the floor and slept on it.
Qi Mengmeng borrowed the stool next to Zheng Yang, and then borrowed another stool from the nurses' station. She put the three stools together, took out a very thin quilt from her bag and spread it on the stools.
Gu Guizhi looked at the bag that had finally deflated a little and asked what was in his mind: "Why did you bring so many things?"
Qi Mengmeng took out two more pieces of clothing and placed them on the stool as a pillow. She sat down before answering, "I don't know what the weather in Beijing is like. I brought this quilt to cover you at night."
Gu Guizhi handed the quilt on the bed to Qi Mengmeng: "The quilt you put on the bed is too thin. It must be uncomfortable to sleep on. Put another quilt on the bed."
"No need," Qi Mengmeng lay down and got into a suitable position before saying, "What if the weather gets cold at night? You can keep it covered. I'm fine like this. Go to sleep quickly. I have to do a checkup tomorrow morning."
Qi Mengmeng said as she sat up again: "Do you want to go to the bathroom? I'll take you there?"
Gu Guizhi paused, swallowed what he was about to say, sat in the wheelchair, and let Qi Mengmeng push him to the toilet.
After they came back, Zheng Yang asked Gu Guizhi, "Did you just get married?"
Qi Mengmeng had already laid down, and Gu Guizhi lowered his voice: "Yeah."
Zheng Yang wanted to say something, but Gu Guizhi put his index finger to his mouth, made a "hush" gesture, and closed his eyes.
The room became quiet. After a while, the nurse came to check on the room and turned off the lights. The room was dark and the three people fell asleep one after another.
Qi Mengmeng was dreaming all night but she remembered nothing. At five o'clock in the morning, she turned over in her chair and almost fell, and then she woke up instantly.
Although her movement was small, it woke Gu Guizhi up.
"What's wrong?" Gu Guizhi asked.
"It's okay, I'm awake. I'm going to wash my face. You can sleep a little longer." Qi Mengmeng lowered her voice and walked out with the basin without waking up Zheng Yang next to her.
After washing her face, she went to get a kettle of hot water.
Gu Guizhi asked Qi Mengmeng to have breakfast by herself and not to buy it.
Seeing that Zheng Yang was still sleeping, Qi Mengmeng nodded and walked out.
If Gu Guizhi goes through the formalities in the next few days, they will probably stay for about ten days, and Qi Mengmeng will definitely need to familiarize herself with the surrounding area.
Qi Mengmeng walked out of the hospital, stopped an older woman wearing Dacron clothes, and asked if there was any state-owned restaurant nearby.
The eldest sister pointed casually: "Follow this road, it's right there."
Qi Mengmeng thanked the elder sister, and the elder sister waved and left.
Qi Mengmeng walked in the direction her elder sister pointed. She was planning to buy more food since there were still empty lunch boxes in the space.
Ten minutes later, Qi Mengmeng stopped an old lady and asked how far it was from here to the state-owned hotel.
The old lady said to keep walking, we are very close.
After walking for another five minutes, Qi Mengmeng was full of doubts. How far was this state-owned restaurant? It took too long to walk just to have breakfast.
She gritted her teeth and asked another person, who told her that it was not far ahead.
Qi Mengmeng walked for another five minutes with a gloomy face before she found the state-owned restaurant.
She walked in and sat on the stool for a while before going to buy food.
Meat buns, vegetarian buns, and steamed buns, ten of each came, and the waiter's eyes almost popped out.
Qi Mengmeng had to explain: "I bought this for my roommates. When they heard I was coming to the state-owned restaurant, they all asked me to bring some. These are from four or five restaurants."
The waiter thought this was good enough, so he took the food coupons and asked casually, "Do you want some freshly made sesame cakes?"
"Yes, ten sesame cakes." Qi Mengmeng smiled brightly, took out two pieces of White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket, put them under the bill and handed them over.
