Chapter 169 Heart Signal
The person who opened the door was Ji's father, with short black and white mixed hair and bloodshot eyes caused by lack of sleep.
Perhaps he was forcibly awakened from his sleep, his eyes were slightly squinted as he faced the bright light.
"you are?"
With her hoarse voice and worried expression, Zhong Lingxi couldn't bear to lie.
She introduced herself: "I am Zhong Lingxi, An Xiaoyue's friend. The nurse said that President Ji is going to be transferred to a regular ward, so please help us get ready."
"Oh, oh, oh..." Father Ji was awake, but his mind was slow and his limbs were somewhat uncoordinated. "I'll get ready right away."
"What's wrong?" In the ward, Ji's mother had just gotten up from the sofa.
She hadn't even opened her eyes, and was still half asleep when she bent down to put on her shoes.
Father Ji: "Yu Bai is about to transfer here, let's get ready."
Zhong Lingxi mustered her courage, took a step forward, entered the ward, and said confidently, "Hello, Mrs. Ji, I am Zhong Lingxi, a friend of An Xiaoyue."
Ji's mother was a little confused; this person was far too familiar with her.
After her mind associated the name with the person, Ji's mother looked at the girl in front of her again.
She said awkwardly, "Hello, Lingxi."
Seeing that the two had not yet recovered, Zhong Ling stopped looking at them, turned to the side, and locked the bolts on the top and bottom of the ward door, leaving the door wide open.
With her back to the two of them, she spoke to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"The door has to be opened first before the hospital bed can be brought in."
"I'll put the food from the coffee table in the refrigerator first."
"Open the windows to let in some fresh air."
Zhong Lingxi tidied everything up, her mouth never stopping, until finally there was nothing left to do. Ignoring the probing gazes of Ji's parents, she had no choice but to face them.
"Do you have any pajamas for Mr. Ji? The nurse said he's not wearing any clothes and needs a set of loose-fitting loungewear."
Father Ji looked at Mother Ji with a questioning gaze.
Ji's mother shook her head, "I didn't go home."
Ji's father made a quick decision: "Let him stay naked. We'll get it for him when we're done."
Ji's mother gave him a warning look, telling him to speak properly.
With everything ready, Zhong Lingxi still felt awkward and pointed to the door, "I'll go see why they haven't arrived yet?"
As soon as Zhong Lingxi left, the two statues sitting on the sofa, who had been frozen in place as if their pressure points had been pressed, were instantly released.
Ji's mother: "Why are you so stiff?"
Father Ji: "You don't seem to be having an easy time either?"
"Zhong Lingxi, the person your son likes." When she couldn't see him, she longed to see the person her son liked every day.
Now that I've seen it, I don't know how to face it.
It's all that brat's fault! Why did he get sick? It would be so nice if we could all meet up outside, have some desserts, and enjoy afternoon tea!
Meeting for the first time in a hospital is such an unlucky thing!
"What?!" Mr. Ji exclaimed in shock. "This is the person who made that brat work day and night!"
As a father, Mr. Ji raised his son for over twenty years. From a spineless little boy to the rebellious kid he is today, Ji Yubai has never listened to his advice on any major issue.
As a father, he sought stability, but his son loved adventure, constantly pushing his nerves and building up his strong heart.
Now look what's happened! The person that brat likes is standing right in front of him, and he doesn't even recognize her.
Ji Yubai, you're really something else!
Before the two could exchange more words, the sound of wheels scraping against the ground came from behind them. "Here we come."
The two stood up in unison.
Father Ji rubbed his face and laughed, "Does my smile look fierce?"
Ji's mother burst out laughing and reminded her husband, "You have eye boogers."
"Oh dear, it's all that brat's fault." Ji's father was furious, his image completely ruined. "He deserves to never have a wife in his life. The first time he met a girl, I was covered in boogers."
Ji's mother smoothed her hair and tried to soothe her husband, saying, "Don't worry, she never liked your son anyway, so it was bound to fail."
"That's true. It's a small matter if I lose face, but it's a bigger loss for him if he can't marry the girl he likes."
As soon as she finished speaking, the nurse pushed the hospital bed in.
The two elderly people were about to go up and greet them when they suddenly stopped and silently looked away.
It's unbearable to watch, so embarrassing.
On the hospital bed, Ji Yubai had a silly grin on his face.
Ji's father thought that if he could drool at this moment, he would promote his son to play the role of a fool.
With just this one role, that brat could easily win countless awards.
The hospital bed was wheeled in, and the nurses quickly parked it, hung up the IV drips, and set up the various monitors.
"Ji Yubai's family." As soon as the nurse called out, the two elderly people immediately went to greet them.
Nurse: "The patient's condition is currently stable, and no complications have been found. The current treatment plan is to prohibit food and water intake. The intravenous fluids are medications to suppress gastric acid secretion and fight infection. If you, the family, would like to know more about the various test results, you can go to the doctor's office to discuss them with the attending physician. If there are any special circumstances, the doctor will come and talk to you."
This means that when doctors are busy and the patient's condition is stable, they don't pay much attention to the patient.
Mr. Ji repeated, "No food, no water, I understand. Thank you nurses, you've all worked so hard."
With the family's cooperation, the nurse's usually rigid expression softened somewhat. "Just press the call button if you need anything."
"Okay, thank you." With her son out of danger, Mrs. Ji was finally relieved.
"Still laughing." Ji's mother turned around and gave Ji Yubai a sharp look.
"Hehe~" Ji Yubai chuckled twice, then awkwardly shut his mouth.
Mother Ji was too lazy to pay attention to his shameless behavior and invited An Xiaoyue and Zhong Lingxi to sit down.
"I'll go buy some fruit and bottled water. I'll also see what food is available around here so we can grab a bite together." Only now did Father Ji have the mind to plan a meal.
An Xiaoyue spoke up, "Uncle, Sheng Yang went to buy food, he will bring it back."
"Then I'll go pick up Sheng Yang," said Father Ji, before heading out.
Ji's mother's gaze passed over An Xiaoyue and landed on Zhong Lingxi.
Zhong Lingxi knew that Ji's mother was watching, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and give her a slight smile.
An Xiaoyue pursed her lips, inwardly gloating: Serves you right for making fun of me earlier. Now you're being watched, aren't you? Feeling like you're sitting on pins and needles, haha~
The room was quiet. Ji Yubai lay on the hospital bed and asked curiously, "Why aren't you all saying anything?"
"None of your business!" Ji's mother scoffed at him.
Ji Yubai pleaded, "Mom, please give me some face."
Ji's mother glared at him, "I've already lost all face, what face do you still care about!"
Ji's mother was deeply troubled by the fact that she met the girl her son liked while sporting a messy, disheveled hairstyle!
Ji Yubai has ruined the image of the whole family!
Ji Yubai's smile deepened. The person he liked, his old man and mother couldn't possibly not like him!
He worked so hard that he got sick and was hospitalized, which shows how ambitious he is. Lingxi must like him now, right?
Thinking this, Ji Yubai secretly glanced at the person sitting on the sofa.
The little girl is talking to her mother and sister-in-law.
She lowered her head slightly, her long black hair tied back, with a high nose and red lips, exuding both heroism and charisma.
Ji Yubai thought to himself, "I really like Zhong Lingxi like this."
Perhaps his gaze was too eye-catching, because the girl looked at him.
Her lips curled slightly upwards, and her left eyelid was slightly closed.
“Thump, thump, thump thump thump…” Ji Yubai heard the sound of his heart beating.
Everything happened in a second, but the alarm on the electrocardiogram monitor sounded for what felt like an eternity.
My sister-in-law is indeed a medical student; she's very skilled at interpreting medical examination reports.
In front of a group of flustered patients' families, she interpreted the alarm as a "heartbeat signal".
He silently made a mental note for An Xiaoyue: "Little sister-in-law, just wait, every year from now on, I'll send all the strawberries to Fu Garden for you to eat."
