Chapter 6 Betting
Li Feng looked directly into Lin Menghan's eyes. Lin Menghan, not knowing whether she was panicked or confused, turned her head away and said in defense, "Nonsense, complete nonsense. There's no way 2000 points can be broken!"
"Oh? Impossible to crack? Reporter Lin, how about we make a bet?"
Li Feng admired Lin Menghan's slim and charming curves with interest.
"Let's bet!" Lin Menghan said hatefully.
In the past few months, she tried every possible way, but still lost 10 points. Looking at the Shanghai Composite Index heading south without looking back, she felt both hatred and regret in her heart.
"Okay! If the index breaks 2000 points within half a year, you treat me to a meal. If it doesn't, I treat you to a meal." Li Feng said.
"It's impossible to break it!" Lin Menghan said firmly.
"I'm sure to eat your meal." Li Feng said firmly.
"Dream on!" Lin Menghan retorted.
"Sister Lin, Li Feng, what are you arguing about?"
Suddenly, the door of the intensive care unit opened and Zhao Xinyue walked in with a worried look on her face.
"Nothing, I just made a dinner appointment with reporter Lin." Li Feng said with a smile.
"A dinner date?" Zhao Xinyue looked suspicious. "Do you know each other?"
"Don't you recognize this now?"
"snort!"
Lin Menghan turned around, lifted her legs lightly, and walked towards the door with a "tick-tick" sound. When she was near Zhao Xinyue, she suddenly leaned close to Zhao Xinyue's ear and whispered twice, causing her face to suddenly turn red.
Lin Feng admired Zhao Xinyue's shy and timid face with great interest. Thinking of what Lin Menghan had said before, he suddenly had an idea.
I thought to myself: Is this Lin Menghan a lily?
It took a long time for the redness on Zhao Xinyue's face to fade away.
Seeing Lin Feng's mischievous smile, Zhao Xinyue couldn't help but feel a little flustered. She covered it up by saying, "Menghan and I are just college classmates, from the same department but different classes. After graduation, we landed in City B together and became good friends."
After a pause, she suddenly remembered something and said seriously, "Menghan is a famous beauty in our school. She now works at a TV station. The people who pursue her are either rich or noble. You'd better not have any ideas about her."
"Don't worry, I'm a very loyal person." Lin Feng said with a double meaning.
Zhao Xinyue's face turned red again.
Suddenly, she threw out a key and dropped it in front of Lin Feng's bed, saying, "I've found a house. Come with me to take a look."
"Now? Wearing this?" Lin Feng glanced at his clothes and smiled bitterly.
"The hospital staff dormitory is right in the backyard. If you don't want to rent it, forget it. I'll go and ask the landlord to cancel the lease." As she said that, Zhao Xinyue was about to get the key.
Lin Feng picked up the key and replied, "Rent it, I'll rent it."
After saying this, he struggled to stand up and staggered two steps.
"Can you walk? Do you need my support?" Zhao Xinyue asked with concern.
"It seems like I really can't walk fast. Give me a hand." Lin Feng stretched out his left hand and leaned towards Zhao Xinyue.
"No, take the wheelchair."
As she spoke, Zhao Xinyue smiled and pushed a wheelchair over. Lin Feng sat down reluctantly and patted the armrests out of boredom.
Zhao Xinyue smiled, her face was crescent-shaped.
After going downstairs and passing through a corridor lined with holly, we arrived at the staff dormitory building of B City People's Hospital.
This is a staff dormitory building built in the 1990s.
The exterior walls are mottled, revealing red bricks. The corridors are dim, there is no elevator, and they are densely packed with various lines.
Zhao Xinyue pushed Lin Feng to the first floor, opened the door of Room 101, and introduced the room: "600 yuan a month, one-third deposit, three-thirds payment. Are you satisfied?"
The house has one bedroom and one living room, with clean windows and desks, as if someone had just cleaned it.
Outside the kitchen, there were several plastic bags containing some dishes.
Lin Feng stood up from his wheelchair, walked over, and said with a smile: "Wow, this landlord is really kind. Not only did he prepare rice and noodles, he also bought meat and vegetables."
"Let me see what it is. Noodles, eggs, bok choy, millet..."
Zhao Xinyue blushed and said:
"The landlord is Master Zang from the hospital. He rents it to you cheaply because he thinks you're pitiful. Don't be ungrateful. I just bought these things from the market. I'm afraid you'll starve to death here. If you do, you'll blame Master Zang and it will be troublesome."
"Be content, be very content." Lin Feng asked with a smile, "What do you want for lunch?"
"Well, shall I go to the hospital cafeteria and get some food?"
"There are meat, vegetables, rice and noodles. You don't need to go to the cafeteria to get food. Just sit in the living room and wait for your meal." As he said that, Lin Feng carried a few plastic bags into the kitchen.
Zhao Xinyue was worried, so she followed him in and advised, "You've just woken up a few days ago, are you okay?"
"Why not?" Lin Feng picked up the iron pot on the gas stove with his right hand, shook it a few times, and jumped a few times. It was obvious that his body had recovered quite well.
Zhao Xinyue was stunned by what she saw.
I suddenly remembered how sick Lin Feng looked in the intensive care unit.
It turns out that he was pretending.
"Hmph!" She was so angry that she reached out and twisted Lin Feng's waist.
“Ouch!”
Lin Feng felt pain, smiled and hid aside, wrapped himself in an apron, turned on the stove, filled water, and washed the vegetables...
After a while, two bowls of tomato and egg noodles were ready.
Zhao Xinyue went into the kitchen and brought two bowls of noodles to the dining table. Lin Feng followed closely behind with two pairs of chopsticks in his hands.
"There's not enough time, so just eat something. I'll show you my skills some other day." Lin Feng took off his apron and hung it aside.
Looking at the steaming noodles on the table, Zhao Xinyue felt indescribable warmth in her heart.
Is this the feeling of home?
very nice.
She picked up a piece of noodles and put it in her mouth. A familiar feeling came over her heart - she missed home.
"tasty!"
Zhao Xinyue ate one bowl and ordered another.
It far exceeded the amount of food I had set.
"If it tastes good, eat more."
Looking at Zhao Xinyue's somewhat intoxicated smile, Li Feng ate and for some reason, he began to miss home.
"Buzz—buzz—"
Zhao Xinyue's cell phone rang at an inopportune time.
"Shh—Main Nurse—"
Zhao Xinyue saw the caller ID and her expression changed.
"Hello, Head Nurse."
"Xinyue, where is Patient Number One? Why is there no one in the intensive care unit? The patient's family is frantic! How do you manage to be a nurse? Do you still want to be one?!"
A burst of scolding came from the phone, making Zhao Xinyue's face turn pale.
"Head nurse, I—"
"What do you mean by 'I'? Find Patient Number One immediately. If you can't find him within ten minutes, I'll resign immediately!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xinyue panicked, threw down her chopsticks, stood up and was about to leave.
Lin Feng stood up, held her down, took the phone, and said:
"Head nurse, hello. I'm Patient Number One. I just had an interview with Reporter Lin from the city TV station in the intensive care unit. Reporter Lin wanted to take some outdoor shots, so he asked Nurse Zhao to show me around the hospital."
"Unfortunately, a TV station cameraman happened to capture footage of several violations at the hospital. Nurse Zhao was negotiating with Reporter Lin, trying to suppress the matter, when you called."
"What? There's this matter? Where is reporter Lin?" The head nurse sounded a little panicked on the phone.
The city's TV station has enormous power and an audience of millions. If this were to be exposed, not only would the source of the disease be affected, but it might also have to be inspected by the health department.
That would be a big trouble.
"Nurse Zhao had just left when you scolded her!" Lin Feng said coldly.
"What? He's gone? Hurry, hurry up and bring him back. Xinyue, hurry up and bring reporter Lin back." The head nurse was in tears.
Lin Feng returned the phone to Zhao Xinyue.
Zhao Xinyue was stunned.
"Xinyue! Xinyue, are you listening? Have you found reporter Lin?" The head nurse spoke in a hurried tone, as if she was running.
"I, um, I found it. She promised me to think about it carefully." Zhao Xinyue said insincerely.
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay."
The head nurse seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and praised, "Xinyue, you handled this matter very well. You don't have to work the night shift tonight. Have a good rest for two days."
"Thank you, Head Nurse."
Zhao Xinyue put down the phone, her heart beating wildly.
In just a few minutes, the situation took a turn for the worse, catching her off guard.
Looking at Li Feng again, in addition to gratitude, there was also a hint of indescribable dependence in her eyes.
"Let's go back to the intensive care unit. If we don't leave now, we'll be exposed." Li Feng said with a smile.
"Thanks!"
Zhao Xinyue lowered her head slightly, her cheeks slightly red. She silently picked up the dishes and washed them, then pushed Li Feng towards the intensive care unit.
