Chapter 132 Who made your best friend so beloved?
In the observation room of the emergency department, An Xiaoyue looked around and saw that there was not a single empty bed.
Turning my gaze away, I saw Lingxi sitting in the chair, her eyes filled with worry.
The nurse also gave Lingxi an intramuscular injection of Bupleurum Analgesin, which will surely induce a sweat soon.
We need to prepare a change of clothes for Lingxi, otherwise she will catch a cold if she wears wet clothes out in the wind.
When Zhong Lingxi came out, she didn't bring a warm water cup or a small blanket.
Given the circumstances, we can only change them ourselves.
Fu Shengyang was worried about her driving alone.
The only option was to ask Ji Yubai to stay here while she and Fu Shengyang went to help Lingxi retrieve her things.
Ji Yubai looked at Zhong Lingxi, who was drowsy again after being given an IV drip and under the influence of the medication.
He offered, "I'll go. If she needs to use the restroom or something, it'll be more convenient if my sister-in-law is there."
He had lived a carefree and unrestrained life for over twenty years. Suddenly being asked to put himself in someone else's shoes was a bit of a shock; he was afraid that his good intentions might backfire and annoy the girl.
During this special time, An Xiaoyue could only take care of things first before considering anything else.
She handed the spare key that Zhong Lingxi had left with her to Ji Yubai, saying, "Xiaoyue lives in room 707 of building 7. Thank you, Mr. Ji."
After the Spring Festival, a single room became available in the staff dormitory of Changfeng Group, so Zhong Lingxi moved from her rented room into the staff dormitory.
Zhong Lingxi lives alone and was worried about losing her key, so she left a spare key with her.
Ji Yubai took the key, thinking he should go and come back quickly.
When he arrived at the location, he showed his key to prove his purpose, and only then did the security guard let him in.
Walking in the neighborhood, Ji Yubai gradually understood why the Fu family's Changfeng Group had developed so well.
It's not just the Fu family who are doing well; everyone working at Changfeng Group is doing well too.
The residential complex where Zhong Lingxi lives is a staff dormitory built by Changfeng Group on land purchased by the group. The environment is creative, the landscaping is green, and the security and amenities of the complex are comparable to those of high-quality residential buildings.
Changfeng Group has taken humanistic care to the extreme.
It's almost fair to say that once you join Changfeng Group, all you need to do for the company for the rest of your life is work. As for the pressures of life, Changfeng Group's various policies can help you solve them.
The old man often told him and other members of the Ji family that they should learn more from Fu Shengyang, the president of Changfeng Group.
He now completely agrees with the old man's statement.
Sheng Yang is a cold and aloof person; his face is almost expressionless.
However, this seemingly unassuming person treated everyone in the Changfeng Group like family.
Having such a gentle and easy-going woman by his side is something Sheng Yang deserves; it's a blessing from heaven.
Zhong Lingxi is right; everyone likes a responsible and dependable person.
He will change himself and become a reliable person.
As Ji Yubai was thinking this, the elevator had already reached the seventh floor.
The long corridor is lined with rooms on both sides, and the rooms are furnished no differently from those in a regular hotel.
This should be the dormitory for single employees.
The moment the key was inserted and the lock cylinder turned, Ji Yubai froze.
He was nervous the first time he entered a girl's room.
After a few seconds of calm, he pressed the doorknob and pushed the door open.
The room was not very bright, and directly opposite the door was a floor-to-ceiling window that framed the bustling cityscape of Beijing.
The window was open, and a breeze blew in, causing the sheer curtains to sway slightly, creating a sense of tranquility.
He had no choice but to turn on his phone's flashlight and look for the light switch.
The moment the light shone, Ji Yubai was stunned by the sight before him.
"Oh my god, this..." What's the difference between this and a doghouse?
He swallowed the rest of his words, fearing that Zhong Lingxi's house might have surveillance cameras that recorded his shock.
The toilet, a small kitchen, and a washing machine are located on the left and right sides of the entrance.
The pot on the stove wasn't washed, the porridge had dried up, and the sink was piled with bowls, spoons, and mugs soaked in medicine dregs.
There was a two-seater sofa in the living room, with clothes and small blankets piled on it in a crumpled state, and several pieces of women's business attire scattered on the floor.
Behind the sofa was a messy bed, and the tiny walk-in closet was in a terrible state.
Most people would probably shake their heads in disgust upon seeing a space that resembles a disaster site.
Ji Yubai was quite the opposite.
Under his mother's tutelage as a dancer, he pays attention to his appearance and is also good at categorizing and organizing.
His favorite chores are folding clothes and wrapping socks.
He felt a great sense of accomplishment as he watched the messy clothes become neat and tidy.
He roughly understood why Zhong Lingxi waited downstairs for her sister-in-law and the others instead of letting them come upstairs.
She herself probably knows that she can't show herself in such an environment.
Ji Yubai rolled up his sleeves and went back and forth a few times before stuffing the dirty clothes in the living room into the washing machine, tidying up the trash on the small table, and then vacuuming it up.
After a quick tidy-up, Zhong Lingxi returned a little while later, and the sofa was now comfortable enough for someone to lie down on.
There was no time to spare, so Ji Yubai rummaged through the treasure trove in the dressing room and found clothes and a small pink blanket for winter.
As he was leaving, he picked up the thermos he had just washed and filled with hot water, his gaze falling on a corner of the kitchen, and exclaimed excitedly:
"I'll come and wipe you all out tonight, biu~biu~"
When Ji Yubai returned to the hospital, An Xiaoyue looked at the things in his hands and praised him with satisfaction, "President Ji has packed very well."
Ji Yubai was unusually shy, and even scratched the back of his head.
She was worried that Ji Yubai was unreliable because he hadn't returned yet.
Fu Shengyang said, "He's very good at things like tidying up."
In retrospect, her worries were indeed unnecessary.
After the IV was administered, Zhong Lingxi started sweating. An Xiaoyue covered her with a small blanket and took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Zhong Ling slowly opened her eyes. "Xiaoyue, I'm thirsty."
Ji Yubai immediately opened the thermos in his hand and handed it over.
He specially washed a thermos with a straw so that she could drink water easily.
Upon seeing Ji Yubai in front of her, Zhong Lingxi paused for a moment, showing no intention of drinking.
An Xiaoyue explained, "I'll stay and take care of you. President Ji will go back and get your things for you."
"I washed the water glass," Ji Yubai added, mainly because he was afraid she would misunderstand that he was trying to prank her.
Zhong Lingxi then came over to drink some water. After finishing, she looked at Ji Yubai and An Xiaoyue and said, "Thank you, Xiaoyue."
Ji Yubai's lips, neither too thick nor too thin, curved upwards. "Thank you," he said, as if he were saying it to him as well.
After finishing her water, An Xiaoyue sat back down next to Zhong Lingxi. Just as she was about to let Lingxi lean on her shoulder to rest, Lingxi said, "Xiaoyue, I'm much better now. You should stay away from me. If you get sick, the consequences will be serious."
Zhong Lingxi had heard that some viruses can cause miscarriage.
Ji Yubai glanced at Fu Shengyang with his phoenix eyes, then stole a glance at Zhong Lingxi. His chance had come.
“Sister-in-law, let me do it. I’m tall and unmarried, so I’m perfect to be her cushion.”
Unmarried? Isn't that a nod to Fu Shengyang?
Fu Shengyang's lips twitched, ignoring his brother's worthless, silly grin.
An Xiaoyue: "Lingxi, is it okay?"
Zhong Lingxi lifted her heavy eyelids. "He's not afraid of getting sick, so let him come."
Ji Yubai happily sat down.
In the infusion room, the four of them remained silent, and before they knew it, it was 11 p.m.
An Xiaoyue and Fu Shengyang sat on a bench outside the corridor. She was yawning incessantly and had to stand up and walk around to wake herself up.
Fu Shengyang knew that she was loyal and righteous, and had a good relationship with Attorney Zhong. He knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep well if she didn't watch Attorney Zhong recover, so he didn't try to persuade her to go home.
He got up and went to find the nurse on duty. The nurse was terrified when she saw him.
Before he could speak, the nurse said, "Mr. Fu, there are still no vacant beds. When the seasons change, it's easy to catch a cold if you're not careful about adding layers."
Fu Shengyang's cool gaze swept over the several separate infusion areas, most of which were occupied by children.
Some children without beds were so tired that they had to be held by their parents while receiving IV drips.
Some parents got tired of sitting, so the father carried them back and forth in the infusion room, while the mother followed behind carrying the IV fluids.
Everyone who takes care of the patients works very hard.
"I understand." Fu Shengyang closed his long fingers, already having the idea of investing in expanding the hospital.
Zhong Lingxi received an IV drip, which lasted until the early hours of the morning.
She went to the restroom halfway through, and Xiaoyue helped carry the liquid into the bathroom.
In just a short while, blood returned to the IV line, and the skin swelled up considerably.
The nurse said there was a leak, so they gave me another injection, which took a little longer.
After dropping Zhong Lingxi off at the entrance of the staff dormitory complex, she refused to allow An Xiaoyue to go upstairs no matter what.
Ji Yubai knew what she was thinking and chimed in to her.
"Brother Shengyang, why don't you take your sister-in-law back? She has class tomorrow, and I can take good care of Zhong Lingxi."
An Xiaoyue's uncertain gaze fell on Zhong Lingxi's face. Seeing that she did not refuse, she also agreed to Ji Yubai's arrangement.
Ji Yubai: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely take good care of your little sister until she recovers."
An Xiaoyue didn't quite believe it; Ji Yubai's gloating expression was too obvious.
However, Ji Yubai likes Lingxi so much.
If Lingxi hadn't caught a cold, or if she hadn't been pregnant, what would have happened to Ji Yubai?
It's so unfair! If Heaven wanted to help Ji Yubai, it shouldn't have let Lingxi catch a cold.
An Xiaoyue felt a pang of heartache seeing Lingxi, who was usually lively and talkative, bundled up tightly because of her illness and looking listless.
The doctor said I need to have IV fluids for three consecutive days.
"I'll come over to keep you company while you get your IV drip after class tomorrow. I'll have Aunt Cui bring you some porridge in the morning, so remember to open the door."
"Little sister-in-law, don't worry about taking care of her. With my more than 20 years of friendship with Brother Shengyang, I guarantee that I will take good care of your little sister until she is plump and round."
An Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh.
Zhong Lingxi glared at him with her neck stiffened. If she weren't so weak, she would have kicked him.
Fu Shengyang turned to the side, no longer wanting to acknowledge Ji Yubai as his brother who would forget his friends for the sake of a pretty face.
An Xiaoyue pursed her lips, "Although there are many 'buts,' thank you anyway, President Ji."
Ji Yubai raised an eyebrow, "Who told you to win my heart with your little sister!"
An Xiaoyue was shocked; Ji Yubai's affection for Lingxi was so straightforward.
Her gaze shifted, cautiously glancing at Fu Shengyang standing beside her.
