"Phew..." She let out a breath that was neither too long nor too short: "Then I'll go ask the neurologist again to schedule a follow-up appointment for you."

After saying this, without waiting for Xiao Yao's reply, she left the ward with a "clatter" of her slippers.

"Ahhh..." Xiao Yao writhed in the pure white blanket.

For some people, "Me too" is a somewhat perfunctory statement, but for Shen Jie, it is undoubtedly a revolutionary historical breakthrough.

When Xiao Yao was a child, his family bought a VCD player, which came with two discs of "Ghost".

Xiao Yao flipped through the two discs over and over until they were completely pixelated, and naturally became very familiar with the plot.

Every time the male protagonist says "I love you" to the female protagonist, she only says "Me too" and never says "I love you" to him, which makes him quite resentful.

Even after they were separated by death and their paths diverged, the two met again through the power of a Black medium.

Ultimately, the phrase "Me too" became a code that led the protagonist to believe in the medium.

When the male protagonist said "Me too" with deep affection, Xiao Xiaoyao felt the most romantic language in the world.

ah ah ah...

……

Meanwhile, Shen Jie was walking down the corridor leading to the neurology department.

How exactly did you end up blurting out "Me too"?

Is it broken?

Shen Jie rubbed her lips vigorously, as if that would erase what she had just said.

It must have been a slip of the tongue, definitely a slip of the tongue.

The girl didn't understand what "love" or "like" was, but she understood one thing.

That is, "Life is like being... if you can't resist, then just accept it."

Anyway, Shen Tianyun is already old enough to be a nobody—since things have come to this, then… since the object of affection is that guy who is so genuine that he “almost collapsed after her death,” then let’s try our best to experience real love.

It's a life experience, isn't it?

She decided to try her best to like him and accept him.

Miss Shen has never failed to accomplish anything she set her mind to.

Congratulations, Xiao Yao! From today onwards, you not only have a "fiancée," but also a "girlfriend."

Having completed this ultimate self-conquest, the girl lowered her head and smiled sheepishly, then slapped her own face in a mocking manner.

She went to the neurology department and consulted a doctor.

It's almost 5 o'clock now, and this kind of thing can't be treated in the emergency room, so the doctor arranged for her to go tomorrow.

On her way back to the VIP ward, she saw an elderly woman shouting on the phone while wiping away tears as she whizzed past her, leaving only the clattering sound of her high heels on the ground.

Honestly, making such a racket in the hospital is so rude, Shen Jie thought.

However... sometimes we should try to put ourselves in the patient's shoes and understand the anxious feelings of the patient's family.

Wait a minute, that older woman... doesn't she look familiar?

The girl stopped, turned around, and looked in the direction her aunt had run off to.

Ah, isn't she Yu Luying's mother?!

Shen Jie met "Yu Lihua" once at the "Parent-Child Education Center" in Teacher Yao's Hall, and then met her in person again at the church the next day after leaving the hall.

She recalled that Yu Lihua had short hair that reached her neck, a stern face, and looked like a typical middle-aged woman from Shanghai who was sharp-tongued and difficult to get along with.

But Shen Jie always felt that the person who wanted to protect themselves with the sharp thorns was the one who would have to endure the torment of the thorns day and night.

Thinking about this, I can't help but feel a little sorry for her.

Regardless of whether that person was Yu Lihua or not, Shen Jie subconsciously followed.

It seems she went to... the neurology department.

"What kind of uncle are you?" From afar, Shen Jie heard a... well, slightly out-of-control complaint: "The columbarium is clearly closer to the South Hospital, but Father Yang wanted to send her to the South Hospital, and you insisted on sending her back here. If anything happens to Yingying, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Manners! Manners!" It was Yu Bo's voice: "What are you yelling about? This is a hospital! Yingying is fine, isn't she?"

Shen Jie stopped in her tracks.

It seems that she really is Yu Luying's mother.

Eavesdropping is not the act of a gentleman, well, a lady, so she decided to leave.

"Yingying, if anything happens to you, how will I live!"

"Mom, Mom, I'm fine...you...you let go, I can't breathe." It was Yu Luying's voice without a doubt.

Shen Jie didn't take a step. She started to think that since she had run into him, she should go out and show herself, and greet him openly.

"What is epilepsy? Yingying has never had this before!" Yu Lihua's emotions seemed to have stabilized a little: "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said..." Yu Bo said, "Hey, nurse, excuse me, but I have a question... I was speeding and ran a red light while driving the patient here. To clear the record, I need a certificate from the hospital. Who should I contact?"

Epilepsy? Shen Jie was startled.

What a coincidence!

……

Shen Jie turned and walked towards her ward, when suddenly she felt the urge to urinate, so she went into the women's restroom.

The hygiene of the hospital restrooms... is really not something to be proud of.

She carefully locked the cubicle door, took off her hospital trousers, and squatted down.

For some reason, what came to mind was the battle she had fought at the "Parenting Education Center".

The armored female knight, shrouded in a thick chill, wields a flying axe that never leaves her side, and forms an invisible physical barrier.

The weakness that subdues her lies in... Xiao Yao.

But wasn't that in a palace? Only in that bizarre and fantastical other world could such a strange thing happen...

If you hit one, the other will also feel pain; today, another person had an epileptic seizure at the same time. What's wrong with these two?

She threw the tissues into the wastebasket, stepped on the switch, and pulled up her pants with a splash of water.

Shen Jie opened the stall door and saw a tall girl with medium-length hair walk into the restroom.

Wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt, light blue jeans, and high-top canvas shoes.

"Sister?" The girl was taken aback. "What are you doing here? Isn't there a restroom in the hospital room?"

"Luying?" Shen Jie was also startled, pretending that this was the first time she had met her today: "Didn't Xiao Yao say that you went on a pilgrimage to Yushan today?"

“Ah…” A look of panic flashed across Yu Luying’s face: “Yes… my uncle heard that you were sick and wanted to come and see you, so I brought him along—we’ll go to Yushan’s place two nights later.”

Oh, little girl who lies, does your Lord know?

"Oh? Your uncle's here too? Which uncle? Brother Bo?" Shen Jie asked deliberately, affectionately taking Yu Luying's hand and walking towards the bathroom door: "Where is he?"

"Hey, sister, let me use the restroom first."

"Don't go up here, it's dirty. Go to my room to use the restroom," Shen Jie said.

ten minutes later.

Yu Bo stood awkwardly in Shen Jie's VIP ward, looking at this person and then at that person, his face showing reluctance.

They said they came to visit the sick, but they didn't even bring any fruit. They said they came to bless the patient, but they didn't bring anything—no holy sash, holy water, holy oil, not even a Bible. How are they supposed to bless the patient?

Moreover, Shen Jie is not a member of the church, so we cannot perform the oil bondage ritual for her.

Yu Bo thought for a moment, then sat down beside Shen Jie's bed and placed his hands on the girl's head: "Heavenly Father, we know that everything we have is a gift from You. Our possessions, health, and life all come from You. Let us thank and praise You. Your maid is now ill and cannot move or work normally like us, and is enduring pain. Heavenly Father, please bless the sick and give her the courage and patience to accept her suffering, and grant her a speedy recovery so that she can return to a normal life... May the Lord be with you."

“And it is with your soul as well,” Yu Luying replied, giving Shen Jie a light pat on the shoulder.

“Ah? Oh, it’s also with your soul?” Shen Jie said.

Yu Bo extended his right hand, facing Shen Jie with his right palm upright, and began to make the sign of the cross: "May God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit bless you."

“Amen,” Xiao Yao repeated after Yu Luying.

"Amen." Shen Jie smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Father Yu, for making this special trip for me. Actually, I'm almost better now, so there was no need for you to go to such trouble."

“Specially… well, not really,” Yu Bo said somewhat guiltily, “It was just on the way, on the way.”

"Of course, it's just on the way," Shen Jie thought sarcastically.

“Speaking of which, how did you get pneumonia in the middle of summer? You should take better care of your health in the future…” Yu Bo stood up and said, “You should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid going to places with poor air circulation or serious environmental pollution.”

“Yes, Father, I know,” Shen Jie replied obediently.

"You should exercise appropriately to boost your immunity... But since you seem to exercise regularly, avoid spicy and stimulating foods recently..."

“Father Yu,” Shen Jie interrupted Yu Bo’s nonsense, “Could you please also offer your blessings to Xiao Yao? I think his problems are more serious than mine right now.”

Yu Bo nodded, walked up to Xiao Yao, and pressed down on his head in the same way, reciting the prayer from before again.

After finishing the prayer and chatting with everyone for a while, Yu Bo stood up to leave: "Oh, right, there's something I wanted to tell you all. Since everyone's here today, I'll say it all at once."

“Father, please speak.”

Yu Bo turned his head to look outside the door, walked to the door, closed the ward door, and then walked back to the bedside.
