Chapter 523 I'm Not Free
That's it? Hang up?
Qi Xu held the phone in his hand, staring at the still screen, completely bewildered and confused.
No, what does this person mean?
Why did he call me so seriously? Was it just to ask, "Have you eaten?"
That's not right! Isn't it time to eat?
Could it be that she wanted to invite him to dinner?
Qi Xu's guess deviated in a wild and imaginative direction for a while, then fell back.
No, no, and still no.
He is now a seriously injured patient and it will take more than ten days for him to be discharged from the hospital. How could he possibly arrange a dinner for him?
After ruling out this possibility, Qi Xu hypothesized more than a dozen possibilities.
Did he call wrong? Was he bored? Lonely? Psychotic? Brain-short circuit? Inflamed wound? Insane?
…
Until the last guess came out, she directly overturned all the previous guesses.
Oh, I get it, that bastard must be trying to default on his debt and not pay me back!
Yes, that must be it!
You can clearly feel the nervousness and guilt on his face when he was on the phone, and the rapid and disordered breathing, there is no doubt about it.
Qi Xu's brain cells were working rapidly. She used up all her energy and concentrated all her wisdom, thinking hard about how to deal with Lu Shixu's debt default problem.
This issue is too important, too serious, and too difficult to deal with.
So much so that for the next two hours, she lay straight on the bed and couldn't fall asleep.
What to do, what to do? How on earth am I going to get my millions?
Lu Shixu was also lying on the hospital bed, tossing and turning, feeling melancholy and depressed.
I regret that I didn't make a good use of the phone call just now.
I despise myself for being dumb, not good at speaking, and not being able to even speak properly. If I hang up after making a phone call, the young doctor will definitely think I am a psychopath.
So annoying.
Now how can I prove to that young doctor that I am a normal person, not harassing, crazy, or mentally ill.
Two people on different channels are suffering from different worries.
In the end, it was Lu Shixu, the straight man, who suddenly came to his senses and called the young doctor again.
Qi Xu took a deep breath and answered the phone carefully. "Hello!"
"Well, it's still me!"
Lu Shixu's tone was still stiff, like an old steamed bun that had been dried in the wind for decades.
"Oh, I know."
Although Qi Xu didn't make any remarks, he knew who it was as soon as he saw the terrifying number.
"oh!"
The draft that Lu Shixu had written a hundred times in his mind became a wordless book, so blank that he didn't know how to open his mouth.
These two people are really weird.
One is emotionally dull, the other not good at expressing themselves, and when they get together it's so awkward that even the three major telecom giants, China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom, are worried about them.
The two mobile phones were clearly in a call, but there was no sound at all. If you didn't know, you would think the signal was stuck.
Finally, Qi Xu couldn't hold it in any longer and asked him.
"Mr. Lu, you called me, is there something wrong?"
Lu Shixu then remembered the lame excuse and said nervously.
"Are you free tomorrow?"
He asked me what I was doing when I was free. Was he really going to ask me out for dinner? Oh my god, he's so horny, I don't want to go at all. What should I do? What should I do?
Qi Xu's brain turned for a long time before he finally answered firmly.
“No time!”
Lu Shixu asked again. "What about the day after tomorrow?"
Qi Xu still answered. "I don't have time either!"
Lu Shixu continued to ask persistently. "What about the day after tomorrow?"
Qi Xu answered firmly, "I'm still busy."
Lu Shixu was depressed.
"So, when are you free?"
Qi Xu's heart beat faster, his nerves were in a tangle, and his clever mind was thinking rapidly about how to completely put an end to the harassment from the perverted man.
"I'm very busy. Basically, I have no free time every day. I have to work from morning to night."
"Hey, what the hell are you doing?"
Hearing her say she was very busy, Lu Shixu felt sorry for her, thinking her life must be difficult. He started talking more.
"Don't I owe you money? I just wanted to ask you when you're free so I can have my family come over and unfreeze the card."
"That way, you can get the money out sooner."
"Huh?" Qi Xu covered her mouth and let out a groundhog scream. Then, there was the sound of her pounding herself.
You are so stubborn, so stubborn. I will let you have wild thoughts.
You have a dead mouth, you have a dead mouth, I told you not to talk nonsense!
Woo woo woo~ I'm so stupid!
Is there anyone in the world who is more stupid than me?
Lu Shixu heard those strange whimpering sounds and didn't know what she was doing.
Asked curiously.
"Doctor Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Xu quickly put away her crazy emotions and changed her cold attitude, and acted coquettishly towards Lu Shixu in the sweetest, softest and most coquettish voice.
"Mr. Lu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you."
"I'm not busy. I'm free. I'm so bored every day. I'm free today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. You can make an appointment with me anytime."
"If you could make an appointment earlier, I would be even happier!"
Phew! Lu Shixu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He finally understood the little plan in the young doctor's mind.
It seems that I don’t have time for other things, but I have time when it comes to paying back the debt.
What a shrewd little money-grubber.
Since she is so cute, let's do as she wishes and get better sooner.
"Okay, how about tomorrow?"
"Great, great, that's great. If that card can be unblocked tomorrow, I can definitely sleep well tonight."
Qi Xu's laughter was as clear as a silver bell. Lu Shixu could feel her joy even through the screen.
If I had known she was so easily satisfied, I would have just offered her money. Why would I have worried about it for so long?
"Then sleep well tonight and have a sweet dream. Wait for my call tomorrow."
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Because he needed help from someone, Qi Xu felt embarrassed to hang up the phone first.
And Lu Shixu waited for her to hang up first.
So, the two of them stood there stupidly again.
Seeing that the screen was on, Lu Shixu asked again for the sake of conversation.
"Hey, have you eaten yet?"
This time, Qi Xu answered truthfully without thinking.
"Not yet!"
It was dinner time, Lu Shixu asked her.
"There's a specialty restaurant on Jingnan Road. The food is delicious. I asked Aliang to take the order. Do you want me to bring you one?"
"Their braised fish, steamed chicken, spicy crab, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and hot and sour pork in a jar are all delicious."
Not knowing what flavors the young doctor liked, he listed all the sour, sweet, and spicy dishes.
Qi Xu saw that it was almost 7pm and the hospital cafeteria had already closed. If she wanted to go out to eat, the journey was a bit far, and she really wanted to be lazy and not walk.
The dishes that Lu Shixu mentioned made her drool just by hearing them, and they really tempted her.
"Um, is that convenient?"
Lu Shixu was very happy and she did not refuse.
"Of course it's convenient. I'll ask Aliang to buy whatever you like to eat."
"Whatever. Anything spicy is fine. Just ask the boss not to put onions in it."
It turns out she likes spicy food and doesn't eat onions. Lu Shixu remembered it clearly.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll have Aliang buy it and send it to you."
After saying this, Lu Shixu felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words.
"Well, we don't know where you live. You should come to the ward later to get it."
