Qi Le finished using the restroom and was about to take a step out when he suddenly froze. He remained silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to feel around the doorframe. Yi Hang turned around and saw him holding a familiar talisman. He immediately cried out in horror, "You're going to die. You're dead, dead! You'll be gone like wisp of smoke, gone, gone!"
"Screw your nonsense!" Qi Le interrupted, "If this thing was really useful, we would be finished the moment we entered the door just now." He crushed the talisman into a ball and threw it into the trash can, thinking to himself - That damn bogus shaman better not bump into me again. Or else, Laozi wouldn't let you off!
The two of them left and returned to the ward together but were surprised by the addition of several young people in the ward. They were all surrounded the only empty bed at the moment. Obviously, another patient had been admitted.
Qi Le looked through the gap in the crowd and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. On the bed lay a young man with a bandaged head. His face was ashen and he was still in a coma. But that wasn't the point. The point was that this man was the president of the student union in his school. Although they hadn't spoken, this person was rather well known, so he knew him. It wasn't time for school to start yet so these people must've been those who had stayed in school during summer vacation. However, he wasn't friends with them before his death and was even more unlikely to have any sort of relationship with them after he died. He pulled up his quilt and rolled over to sleep.
It was a silent night without any more conversation.
The next day, Mr. Elite left early as usual and Qi Le had breakfast in bed with a certain someone. After breakfast, he wiped his lips with a napkin and subconsciously looked to the side. The other man was still unconscious, but his friends had arrived early and were chatting right now.
"I've asked upstairs and downstairs, and no one admitted to planting any flowers. They were probably afraid because they saw that the flowerpot had hit someone. Anyways, it couldn't have appeared out of thin air. I think...... Senior, are you awake?"
The man groaned, "Who are you guys?"
Qi le looked on calmly.
Yi Hang, "..."
"Senior, don't you know who we are? Have you lost your memory?"
"What senior? We are basically.... This...... this isn't my body! What's going on?!"
Qi Le, "......"
Yi Hang, "=口="
"Senior, what are you talking about?"
"This really isn't my body...... Wait a minute, Shen Ai Hospital? I sold several talismans here yesterday!"
Qi Le: "=口="
Yi Hang: "=口=!!!!!"
Those people were close to crying."What talismans? Senior, you're an atheist!"
The scene soon became chaotic. A little nurse rushed inside and at the familiar cries of "I'm someone else, " she immediately yelled out, "Get the psychiatric department now!"
Qi Le noticed that the two nurses from yesterday weren't in this group of nurses. They were probably off duty. The man also noticed this and looked around, unwilling to give up. Very soon, he caught sight of Qi Le and burst through the crowd. He pounced on Qi Le and stared at him closely, "I gave you a note yesterday with my number on it. I'm that man! You must still remember me!"
"What note?" Qi Le pretended to be stupid and looked at him solemnly."Um.... . Listen to my advice, if you're sick you have to get treatment."
The man, "......"
"...... Bastard, just wait for me to get out and I'll make a voodoo doll to get rid of you!" The man shouted as a doctor dragged him out by the arm. His friends hurried behind him and were devastated, "Senior, you're an atheist!"
The two men on the bed followed them to the door, silently watching the Taoist priest being dragged away. Yi Hang's eyes gleamed as he looked at the closed elevator doors, "Fourth floor! Fourth floor! Round a few corners and you'll be at the psychiatric department! "
Qi Le pursed his lips, "......... Will he still be able to come back?"
"If he's able to see things clearly...." Yi Hang turned around and mysteriously added, "This hospital is really strange. Do you think that rascal...... offended God?"
"..." Qi Le entered the ward and changed into casual clothes."Laozi has had enough of this place. I want to be discharged!"
Yi Hang was surprised, "It'll probably take a few days to complete the discharge process. You're not done with the formalities or settled the bill yet."
"I'll get my friend to do it. I don't want to stay any longer." Qi Le dropped his wallet and cellphone into his pocket.
Yi Hang panicked! As soon as this person left, he would be all alone with that beast! He cried out anxiously, "Someone's trying to escape! Someone's running away from the hospital!"
A nurse happened to pass by their door, "What's this about running away from the hospital?" She looked at Qi Le, "Is it you?"
Qi Le sighed, "My hospital gown was dirty so I changed into my own clothes today. But as soon as I went to the restroom, he started screaming that I escaped from the hospital. Is his head really ok? This time, it's some delusion about me running from the hospital, what if he stabs me next time? Will you be responsible for that?"
The nurse's expression changed slightly."I'll contact the doctor in a moment."
Qi Le responded lazily and watched her enter another ward. Then, he leaned over, stroked a certain someone's face and gently encouraged him, "Go on, keep shouting."
Yi Hang: "=口="
Qi Le hummed a tune and turned to leave. Yi Hang froze for two seconds before crying out, "Holy shit, do you know where you live now? You're leaving like that?!" He rushed after Qi Le, but the latter had already gone down the stairs.
When Ye Shuichuan came to visit at noon and learned that Qi Le was gone, he immediately grabbed Yi Hang by the collar and growled, "Is it true? Are you sure you didn't go crazy and kill him?! Did you drink motherwort today?!"
"..." Yi Hang weakly replied, "I'll drink it now......"
Ye Shuichuan looked at him suspiciously. On second thought, there were so many doctors and nurses here so it should be fine. He pulled out his cellphone and called Xiaoyuan. However, he found that his cellphone was turned off. He thought for a bit, "Could it be that Xiaoyuan remembered everything and went to look for Ning Xiao again?" He clapped his hands together, "Laozi bet that he would go and see him on the day itself. Looks like I was right!"
Yi Hang: "=口="
Ye Shuichuan put aside the discharge letter and strode out, conveniently giving Ning Xiao a call to ask him not to give Xiaoyuan a hard time. Ning Xiao listened and hung up without saying a word, his face expressionless except for the disdain in his eyes. From the start, almost everyone knew that this would happen eventually.
The man's love for him was just too deep. His so-called letting go was nothing but a joke.
P. S. I'm much better now so updates will be back to normal xoxo
