Chapter 378

The two walked at a leisurely pace to the elevator entrance,

and as Qin Feng was just pressing the elevator button,

Xu Hongdou suddenly stepped forward quickly, then, with a flushed face, applied another lipstick mark to Qin Feng,

after which,

Xu Hongdou softly said a word of thanks,

and then walked briskly toward the ward.

"Hey?!"

Seeing this, Qin Feng was about to call out,

but Xu Hongdou's steps grew faster and faster,

so Qin Feng helplessly shook his head and joked, "Wait, Xu Hongdou, if you're going to kiss, at least wipe off the lipstick mark, right?..."

Seeing Xu Hongdou again,

Chen Nanxing, lying in the hospital bed, deliberately frowned,

and looked at Xu Hongdou, saying, "Xu Hongdou, quickly confess honestly: when did you start dating, and find such a handsome boyfriend?!"

"I'm not dating anyone,"

Xu Hongdou replied, looking at Chen Nanxing in surprise and asking in confusion.

"Not dating? Then Qin Zong must be crazy, running around with you at your command, and just because you said one word, he got me into a special care ward?..."

A small nurse nearby also chimed in with a hidden smile, "It's not that I'm being nosy, but our department's special care ward is quite expensive, eight thousand a day, and even money can't get you in; you need status..."

"Listen to that!"

Chen Nanxing glared at Xu Hongdou, saying, "Xu Hongdou, listen to yourself; Qin Zong definitely put in a lot of effort and pulled many strings this time. If you don't date him, how can you justify it?"

"Not really,"

Xu Hongdou blinked,

clearly remembering that after she had begged Qin Feng just now, he merely walked out of the ward to make a phone call; she hadn't seen him exert much effort at all.

What's more,

must I give myself to him in marriage?!

Recalling the great sorrows and joys she had experienced throughout the day,

Xu Hongdou shook her head,

and smiled helplessly, saying, "Sister Nannan, don't be fooled by Qin Feng's current appearance; actually, let me tell you, he is a bad person, really!"

"A bad person?"

Hearing this, Chen Nanxing exchanged a glance with the small nurse,

and then both of them couldn't help but laugh, "If all bad people were like Qin Zong, I would truly hope the whole world was full of bad people, hahaha..."

Xu Hongdou knew Chen Nanxing was teasing her,

so she didn't get angry with Chen Nanxing,

took out an apple, carefully peeled it with a knife,

cut it into three pieces,

giving one piece each to Chen Nanxing, herself, and the small nurse,

after which,

the three of them temporarily forgot about Chen Nanxing's illness,

sat around together, and chatted about various things...

In the ordinary ward,

that middle-aged woman was still complaining and criticizing the 110 emergency service and the discipline inspection commission for protecting officials,

refusing to seek justice for ordinary people,

and even saying that once the old man felt better, they would go together to the petition office to appeal,

when the head nurse, with a gloomy face,

entered with several orderlies and two nurses with heavy, burly features,

without saying a word,

directly dismantled the various medical devices connected to bed number seven,

stepped on the brake of bed number seven, and prepared to push the bed outside,

at which sight the middle-aged woman immediately panicked,

instantly blocking the hospital bed with her body and shouting, "What are you doing? What are you doing?! We're not leaving; we'd rather die than leave!"

"Not leaving?"

The head nurse coldly retorted, "If you're not leaving, then we'll just spray the medicine!"

"Your room has insects; we must immediately spray insecticide to exterminate them, requiring at least three days of quarantine. Are you leaving or not?!"

As soon as the head nurse finished speaking,

an orderly, very alert, picked up the insecticide and sprayed it fiercely around the middle-aged woman,

who, furious, jumped up and down repeatedly but had absolutely no way to resist,

was supported by the nurses and orderlies,

and was directly pushed to the open space in front of the public restroom,

at which sight the middle-aged woman panicked again,

immediately grabbing the nurse beside her and pleading, "Nurse, nurse, what does this mean? This is the entrance to a public toilet?! You're just going to let us stay here? This won't do!"

"Just stay put..."

The nurse yanked her hand away and pointed down the corridor lined with hospital beds: "There's no space anywhere now. If you want to stay, stay; if not, transfer out. Don't bother us."

The old woman glared and immediately shouted: "What? How can you treat a patient like this? I'm going to sue you—I'm suing you right now!"

"Go ahead."

The nurse looked at the old woman with contempt: "Every patient who sues us, we can't treat. If you sue now, I can discharge you right this second. Do you believe me?!"

"This, this…"

After hearing the nurse's pointed warning,

the old woman finally realized she must have angered someone she shouldn't have,

but it was too late to regret now,

and all she could do was wear a look of bitter remorse,

sit dumbly on the hospital bed, helplessly breathing in the stench drifting from the bathroom,

her eyes reddened by the fumes,

and then, strangely, she began to cry tearfully

while the old man who had been lying on the bed all along,

5.9 now also slammed his fist angrily against the mattress,

crying out again and again: "What a sin! Truly a sin!"

……

As Qin Feng parked the car,

he received a message from Qu Xiaoxiao: "Qin Feng, I've bought the apartment—it's in Unit 5, same layout as the owner's."

"Qin Feng, according to our customs, before moving in after buying a house, you must cook a meal at home."

"So, I've almost finished cooking. Qin Feng, will you join me for dinner?"

Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao's message,

Qin Feng smiled slightly,

then replied: "Mm, okay. I'm downstairs. Send me the address."

"Great! I'll wait for you at home—!"

Qu Xiaoxiao immediately sent the address,

then turned urgently to the people behind her: "Hurry, hurry, hide! We're going to surprise him together…"
