Standing by the bus stop with Xin Yu's warm money in hand, I felt a bit amused.
Today must be my destined day; from being woken up by Murong Shanshan this morning until now, I'm actually going to look for her a third time in the middle of the night.
I really don't know what I owe her from my past life...
Twenty minutes later, I finally hailed a taxi.
The XX Hospital wasn't very far, but if I walked, I was afraid I'd end up lying there with Murong Shanshan myself.
I wasn't wearing many clothes to begin with, and getting any colder, it would be strange if I didn't get sick like Murong Shanshan...
The nurse on duty at the front desk was very pretty.
Seeing me run in through the wind and snow, she smiled and asked, "Sir, can I help you with anything?"
I patted the snow off my shoulders and smiled, saying, "I'm looking for Murong Shanshan, she's hospitalized on the third floor, but I don't know which room."
The young nurse looked down, checked, and then nodded, "Yes, she's in room 302 on the third floor."
I immediately went upstairs.
The hospital used central air conditioning, so it was much warmer.
It was already past 11 PM, and the lights in the stairwell were terribly dim, but luckily, I only needed to go up to the 3rd floor.
I reached the 3rd floor as quickly as possible; the nurse on duty was already asleep at her desk, propping her head with her hand.
I knocked on room 302's door, and after a short while, someone opened it.
It was Ke Ke.
After making a quiet gesture to me, she gently closed the door.
Murong Shanshan in the VIP room was already asleep, a hint of fatigue on her fair, snowy face, her long eyelashes gently fluttering.
I lowered my voice and asked Ke Ke, "When did she fall asleep?"
"Just now. Are you... here to see her?" Ke Ke also whispered.
I nodded, and Ke Ke immediately broke into a joyful smile, "That's great! You can stay here with her tonight; I'm going home to sleep!"
I was stunned, opening my eyes wide and asking her, "Isn't that inappropriate? Shanshan and I have only known each other for less than a month.
Are you really comfortable leaving her in my care alone?"
Ke Ke laughed, pouting towards Murong Shanshan lying on the bed, "I don't trust you, but she does!"
I was speechless.
Ke Ke giggled, packed up her small bag, waved at me, and left.
After the door was closed, only Murong Shanshan and I were left in the ward.
It was then that I realized how ridiculous I was, coming to see a patient empty-handed, without even a bouquet of flowers.
From yesterday until now, I had only slept 4 hours, and my head was splitting.
I looked around the room; it was very simple, with only a bed, a TV, and a few chairs.
Murong Shanshan was sleeping soundly.
I pulled a chair to the bedside; it seemed I'd have to make do with sleeping slumped by the bed tonight.
It was freezing outside, and I really missed my warm bed...
It seemed my movements were a bit loud.
Murong Shanshan frowned and said without opening her eyes, "Ke Ke, pour me a glass of water, please!"
I didn't answer, just poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table, then sat down and said, "It's on the bedside table.
Do you want to get it yourself, or should I get it for you?"
Murong Shanshan heard my words and sat up with a jolt, her expression incredibly cute.
"You... Lin Fan... what are you doing here?"
I quickly pulled up the quilt that had slipped from her chest and said helplessly, "Hurry up and lie down, don't catch another cold.
Do you think I want to be here? It's all because of your good sister Ke Ke; she ran off to sleep herself, leaving me here.
I didn't sleep well last night, and now my good night's sleep tonight is ruined again..."
Murong Shanshan shook her head, picked up a down jacket nearby, put it on, then pulled up the quilt and lay directly against the headrest of the bed.
"It's a shame; all that time for leveling tonight is wasted..." Murong Shanshan's tone was a bit dejected.
"A shame my foot! You're in a hospital bed, and you're still talking about a shame!" I said loudly.
Murong Shanshan immediately looked at me with surprise.
I quickly corrected myself, my voice becoming much gentler, "You can always level up again.
Just focus on getting well first."
"I thought you really couldn't swear!" Murong Shanshan pursed her lips and smiled, looking at me, "Oh, by the way, I couldn't go online today.
Did you get anything?"
I chuckled at that, smiling, "Of course! I defeated a BOSS and it dropped a blue sword called sword of darkness, attack 170-245!"
"Ah?!" Murong Shanshan exclaimed in surprise, quickly putting down the cup in her hand, "The attack is much higher than mine.
What level BOSS dropped it, and how many people fought it?"
"Just one person.
I couldn't see the BOSS's level, but it was above level 35.
And another piece of equipment dropped; don't shout."
"What equipment? Is it purple equipment?" Murong Shanshan blinked her eyes, fluttering her long lashes.
I nodded without speaking.
"You... you're not serious, are you?" The quilt Murong Shanshan was holding dropped from her hands.
I quickly helped her pull the quilt back up and said, "Of course it's true.
heart blue guardian, a level 30 necklace, +37 Stamina, +42 Intelligence, and healing effectiveness increased by 45%!"
"What? 45%?!" Murong Shanshan already had her finger to her mouth.
Seeing the green light flashing in the beauty's eyes, I quickly said, "This necklace is good, but don't get any ideas about it.
I've already decided to give it to a colleague."
Murong Shanshan glared at me and said, "Is it that pretty girl who was with you the other day?"
"No, it's another one..." I explained weakly, then suddenly added, "Wait, why do I feel like this is an interrogation about whether I have an affair?"
Murong Shanshan let out a giggle, took a sip of water, and said, "Look how scared you are.
Even if you like your colleague, I won't eat you!"
I muttered sullenly, "If you would, that would be great..."
Murong Shanshan's expression turned cold, and she asked, "What did you say?"
I was nervous, "Nothing.
Hurry up and sleep.
You can be discharged tomorrow once your fever is gone."
Murong Shanshan suddenly laughed, sweetly saying, "I'll allow you to sleep slumped by the bed, but no getting on it.
Alright, that's it.
Good night!"
I didn't see Murong Shanshan's expression as she looked at me.
I reached out and turned off the light, then slumped by the bed and fell asleep...
I don't know how much time passed, but I felt the sky outside had already brightened.
I looked up and saw Murong Shanshan was still asleep.
It was already 7 AM.
Although I didn't sleep very comfortably, my stamina had mostly recovered.
The temperature in the ward was high, so I wasn't cold while sleeping.
"Hm? How did it get light so quickly?"
Murong Shanshan opened her eyes; it seemed she had slept very soundly last night.
"Lin Fan, go call the nurse.
Let's take my temperature and go home!"
I nodded and called the nurse in.
Murong Shanshan's physical condition was quite good; her fever had completely subsided overnight.
I also stretched, damn it, I could go back and continue grinding to level 32!
