Qin Bai was very familiar with the hospital environment.
He visited every hospital in Jinshan City and could even clearly state the price of each type of ward.
We arrived at the director's office.
I knocked gently on the door.
"Enter."
I opened the door and saw a woman in her forties sitting there.
I glanced at her name tag and confirmed that she was Ling Xiangxue's attending physician.
"Dr. Li, thank you so much for taking care of Ling Xiangxue these past two days."
The director was slightly taken aback when he saw the man with the sincere smile in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm Ling Xiangxue's friend. I just found out about her hospitalization today."
"Oh, Miss Ling's friend."
Director Li smiled amicably at Qin Bai.
Since they were patients staying in VIP wards, the attitude was naturally better.
"Sister Li, is it alright to call you that? You look to be only around 30 years old."
What is the thing that older people like to hear the most?
Of course, it's youth.
Especially since these words came from a handsome guy.
It had been a long time since anyone had praised her like that, and now Qin Bai's words had brought the two of them much closer.
Director Li waved his hand with a smile: "You're too good at talking. I'm already over 40 years old, why are you still calling me 'sister'?"
Despite saying that, she still looked at Qin Bai with some anticipation.
"No way." Qin Bai looked at her with surprise, and then looked her up and down.
"I really didn't realize, Sister Li, you're so naturally beautiful."
"Hehe, it's all thanks to cosmetics."
After a few pleasantries, the two had gone from strangers to friends.
"Sister Li, I came here mainly to ask you something."
"Is it about Miss Ling?"
"That's right, how is her condition now?"
"Actually, she..."
Halfway through his sentence, Director Li seemed to remember something and paused.
She thought for a moment, then asked, "May I ask about your relationship with Miss Ling?"
Qin Bai's heart stirred slightly: "A close friendship, the really good kind."
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, her boyfriend told her that her condition couldn't be told to outsiders."
"Boy friend?"
Qin Bai looked surprised.
I clearly remember Ling Xiangxue saying that she had never been in a relationship and didn't want to get married so early.
Why does a boyfriend who wants to hide his illness suddenly appear out of nowhere?
"Sister Li, how can you be sure that person is her boyfriend?"
"That's simple. If he weren't her boyfriend, why would he pay such expensive medical bills for her? And why would he be so concerned about Miss Ling's condition?"
A layer of indifference veiled the smile in Qin Bai's eyes.
"Hehe, I see. I was worried about her medical expenses, but it seems I was overthinking it. Do you remember what her boyfriend looked like?"
Director Li briefly recalled the events.
"He's tall and quite handsome, but not quite as good-looking as you."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help, Sister Li. I'll head back now."
Qin Bai turned and left the director's office.
The hospital corridors always feel chilly, whether it's day or night.
When Qin Bai used to accompany patients in the hospital, he would take a walk in the corridor whenever he felt stuffy.
Especially in the area near the morgue, the chill seeps straight into your heart.
This should also be considered a gift from nature.
Standing outside Ling Xiangxue's hospital room, that chilling feeling returned, and Qin Bai unconsciously scratched his wrist.
When he entered the ward, he was thinking that VIP wards like this cost several hundred yuan a day.
If you include the testing equipment inside, the price starts at five figures.
Given that woman's personality, how could she bear to spend such money?
The answer is now clear: someone paid for it for her.
Boy friend?
Oh!
Qin Bai looked out the window at Ling Xiangxue lying on the bed.
A ray of sunlight, fragmented by the branches of the trees outside the window, shone on her.
Her pale face possessed a sickly beauty.
He was staring at the droplets sliding down the IV tube, muttering something to himself.
You don't need to guess to know she's checking numbers again.
Ling Xiangxue, what's the rush?
Are you in such a hurry to be discharged from the hospital and go back to that flower shop?
Qin Bai no longer cared about the identity of the person who paid her the money.
Boyfriend or family member.
None of this concerns me.
Yes.
Including Ling Xiangxue, who was lying there.
"Brother Qin Bai, you're here. Why don't you go inside? My sister must really want to see you."
A little girl's voice rang out behind me, and she was holding a dented metal lunchbox in her arms.
"Wen Si is back. Did she go to buy food?"
"Um, Brother Qin Bai, would you like to eat something together?"
Qin Bai smiled and patted her head: "No, I have some things to do at the company, I'll head back first."
"But, my sister..."
Before Wen Si could speak, Qin Bai had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.
She misses you a lot.
The little girl murmured the rest of her words, but the clamor of the wind drowned out her last sound.
Wen Si returned to the ward and placed the lunchbox next to Ling Xiangxue.
"Sis, I bought some of your favorite dishes."
Ling Xiangxue struggled to sit up, but failed several times.
"Don't move, I'll feed you."
Wensi, being very sensible, blew on the food and said, "Sister, I just saw Brother Qin Bai."
"Yes, he came to see me."
Upon hearing this name, Ling Xiangxue smiled gently.
"But..." Wen Si looked at her expression and didn't say the rest of the sentence.
"By the way, where is he?"
"Oh, Brother Qin Bai asked me to tell you that he had to leave because of some urgent business at his company. He was quite reluctant to leave and kept telling me to take care of you."
Ling Xiangxue nodded with some disappointment.
"He seems to be quite busy lately; he was even trending on social media a few days ago."
Wensi asked curiously, "Is there any news?"
Mentioning Qin Bai seemed to improve Ling Xiangxue's mood considerably.
"It seems he's caused quite a stir in Pushi, probably in a business matter."
"I don't really understand either, but all those news reports were praising him for being very capable."
"Thinking about it, it makes sense. I used to think he was like a superman, able to handle anything."
“He hasn’t changed. Even difficult things seem simple to him.”
Ling Xiangxue tilted her head slightly and looked towards the window.
Due to the angle, she did not see the departing figure.
He'll probably come again.
after all.
He is a very gentle person.
