Chapter 2224: 2147 Walking and walking, I just fainted

Zheng Ren dragged his tired body home.

It was genuine fatigue, more exhausting than doing three days and nights of surgery in Pengxi Xiang. Socializing, entertaining, crowds of people, noisy and chaotic.

Zheng Lao Ban felt drained.

The most important thing was that after returning home, Yi Ren wasn't there, and Heizi, who usually wagged his tail to greet him, was also absent.

It was cold and deserted; only Su Yun lay lazily on the sofa playing with her phone as soon as she entered.

Can this be called home?

Zheng Ren said nothing, inwardly hoping his father-in-law would leave soon, then went upstairs to wash up.

……

……

After the meeting dispersed, Feng Xu Hui and Liu Xiao Jie did not leave; together with Hua Ying Ying they busied themselves for a long time, until the staff of 912 gradually left, and only then did they go home.

With Hua Ying Ying around, many things had someone to remind him, and Feng Xu Hui felt his work was much better than before.

Although there was basically nothing going on with Zheng Lao Ban's side, and just focusing on following him was enough, still some other matters needed extra attention.

This is just a detail problem at work.

"Director Feng, if there's nothing else I'll head back." Hua Ying Ying seemed utterly unaware of fatigue; after working nearly two days and nights, her clothes were still unwrinkled, still bright and radiant.

"You've worked hard, Sister Hua." Feng Xu Hui still spoke politely, like a junior.

"Director Feng, do you think intracardiac intervention surgery can be launched on Zheng Lao Ban's side?" Hua Ying Ying asked.

"I don't know; Chief Zheng has done many surgeries, I have time…"

As he spoke, he saw a hint of an intriguing smile on Hua Ying Ying's face.

This was a reminder to himself to pay close attention, watch Zheng Lao Ban's side for developments, then report to the company.

"I understand, Sister Hua." Feng Xu Hui said politely.

"Then I'll go first, goodbye Director Feng, goodbye Xiao Jie." Hua Ying Ying smiled and turned away elegantly.

"Xiao Jie, you must be exhausted." After Hua Ying Ying left, Feng Xu Hui said gently.

"Not bad." Liu Xiao Jie was also studying hard.

Time was still short, but the campus-like immaturity on her had faded considerably.

People, everyone matures bit by bit. Aside from those innate geniuses, no one can be an exception.

Like everyone else, when Liu Xiao Jie had a free moment, she immediately took out her phone.

Looking at the messages above, her complexion suddenly turned ugly.

"What's wrong?" Feng Xu Hui asked.

"Xiao Yun… sigh." Liu Xiao Jie sighed, "Xiao Yun feels unwell again."

Looking at the current time, it was already midnight; replying might disturb someone's sleep, so Liu Xiao Jie thought, left a WeChat message, and turned off her phone.

Feng Xu Hui knew that among Liu Xiao Jie's close friends was a girl named Xiao Yun, who after graduation worked at a foreign company.

That girl was fine in every other way—lively, open‑hearted, with no ill intentions, and generous and bold in character.

But her private life still had problems.

Feng Xu Hui didn't want to question others' lifestyles; it was just that Xiao Yun and her current boyfriend had been together three years, yet she had undergone five abortions.

Half a month ago, Xiao Yun had another miscarriage, and Liu Xiao Jie went to look after her for two days. Xiao Yun's boyfriend usually worked abroad, returning only briefly and infrequently, so Liu Xiao Jie had to shoulder some of the responsibilities herself.

Constant miscarriages cause too much bodily harm. Yet as a possible boyfriend of Xiao Yun's best friend, Feng Xu Hui had no say at all.

Even if he became Xiao Yun's best friend's boyfriend, he still could not voice an opinion.

But it's been half a month, and she still feels unwell? Feng Xu Hui said nothing, merely taking off his own outer coat and draping it over Liu Xiao Jie.

"It's cold outside."

"You say Xiao Yun is okay?" Liu Xiao Jie asked.

"There should be no problem; if there were an emergency, he'd surely call you." Feng Xu Hui's words were like a blessed mouth—once spoken, Liu Xiao Jie's phone rang.

"Xiao Yun."

"Um… call 120, I'll come right over."

"Okay, okay, don't panic. Well, keep in touch—never mind, I'll call 120, you just lie still."

After saying that, Liu Xiao Jie hung up and hastily dialed 120.

After she finished everything, Feng Xu Hui asked, "What's going on?"

"She fainted again." Liu Xiao Jie said anxiously.

"Again…"

Feng Xu Hui was also speechless; after Xiao Yun's most recent miscarriage, she became abnormal—her jaw and neck were red, swollen, hot, and painful, receiving an IV drip of antibiotics. She didn't pay it much mind, as this condition had frequently appeared over the past two years, each time resolved with a bit of antibiotics.

Moreover, she often fainted while walking, twice nearly falling and getting hurt.

Such falls had no warning; while walking, her mind would go foggy and she would collapse straight to the ground.

Today she first felt unwell, then fell—what's going on again?

Liu Xiao Jie confirmed that the 120 ambulance came from the Medical University Affiliated Hospital, and she and Feng Xu Hui rushed over.

Arriving at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital, Xiao Yun was already there, lying on the bed, appearing fairly spirited, nothing wrong; a nurse was drawing blood.

"Xiao Yun, what's happening?" Liu Xiao Jie rushed to the bedside.

"It's fine, Xiao Jie." Xiao Yun gripped Liu Xiao Jie's hand, feeling a bit wronged, and said, "Everything had been fine; I chatted with Guang Zhi, felt dizzy. I sent you a message, you didn't reply—I guessed you were busy. After lying a while, I thought about washing up, but halfway there I fainted."

"Didn't you hit the ground?"

"Should be fine; I'll call you when I wake up." Xiao Yun said.

After the nurse finished drawing blood, she pressed a cotton swab on the puncture site, saying, "Hold it a moment, then remove the swab."

"Mm." Liu Xiao Jie continued holding the swab.

How are you now?

I'm fine, my head isn't dizzy anymore. Xiao Yun moved a bit, "The doctor said I need a CT scan, but I think it's unnecessary."

No, you must get checked." Liu Xiao Jie said firmly, "If you keep going like this, what if you faint while walking?"

Oh.

Feng Xu Hui, familiar with the process, went to see the doctor to consult the condition, holding the slip, he greeted Liu Xiao Jie, saying he was going to pay the fee.

Xiao Jie, I want to use the restroom.

Can you walk?" Liu Xiao Jie asked with some Worry, "If not, should we insert a urinary catheter?"

No. I think I'm fine, my mind is very clear now.

Helping Xiao Yun get down, seeing she could walk fine, Liu Xiao Jie also put her mind at ease.

Look, nothing's wrong." Xiao Yun said with a laugh, "It's really strange; lately I often faint while walking without realizing it."

You're fine when lying down, right?

I don't know; if I faint while lying down, I'd just think I fell asleep." Xiao Yun seemed in good spirits, joking with Liu Xiao Jie.

From now on, be careful; don't joke about your own body.

I really have been careful; I started taking birth control pills a few months ago, but it hasn't had any effect.

Saying that, Xiao Yun suddenly went limp, her eyes rolled up, and she collapsed.
