You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Wait, that old lady...does she look familiar?

The girl stopped, turned around, and looked in the direction her aunt was running.

Ah, is she Yu Luying's mother? !

Shen Jie met "Yu Lihua" once in the "Parent-Child Education Center" of Teacher Yao's Hall. After coming out of the hall, she met the real person again in the church the next day.

She remembered that Yu Lihua had short hair that reached her neck and a stern face. She looked like a typical middle-aged woman in Shanghai who was sarcastic and difficult to get along with.

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

Thinking of this, I can’t help but feel a little pitiful.

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

The direction she was heading seemed to be... Neurology Department.

"How do you do your job as an uncle, huh?" From a distance, Shen Jie heard a slightly uncontrolled complaint: "The columbarium is obviously closer to the South Courtyard, and Father Yang wanted to send the ashes to the South Courtyard, but you insisted on sending them back here. If anything happens to Yingying, I will fight you!"

"Quality, quality!" This was Yu Bo's voice: "What are you yelling about? This is a hospital! Isn't Yingying okay?"

Shen Jie stopped.

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

Eavesdropping was not the behavior of a gentleman, er, lady, so she decided to leave.

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

"Mom, mom, I'm fine...you...you let me go, I can't breathe." This was undoubtedly Yu Luying's voice.

Shen Jie didn't take a step. She began to think, since she had met him, should she go out and say hello openly?

"What's going on with epilepsy? Yingying has never had this problem before!" Yu Lihua's mood seemed to be a little more stable: "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said..." Yu Bo said, "Hey, nurse, excuse me, I have a question. When I drove the patient here, I exceeded the speed limit and ran a red light. To erase the record, I need a certificate from the hospital. Who should I contact?"

Epilepsy? Shen Jie was shocked.

Is there such a coincidence?

……

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

The sanitary conditions of the hospital's bathroom...are really not good enough.

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

For some reason, what came to her mind was the battle at the "Parent-Child Education Center" at that time.

The armored female knight was shrouded in thick cold, with flying axes following her like a shadow, and an invisible physical barrier.

The weakness that can subdue her lies in... Xiao Yao.

But isn't that in the palace? Only in that kind of bizarre and strange world can such strange things happen...

If you hit one, the other will also feel pain; today, one of them had epilepsy at the same time. What’s going on between these two people?

She threw the tissue into the trash can, stepped on the switch with her foot, and pulled up her pants with the sound of water.

Shen Jie opened the cubicle door and saw a tall girl with medium-length hair walking into the bathroom.

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

"Sister?" The girl was surprised: "Why are you here? Isn't there a bathroom in the ward?"

"Luying?" Shen Jie was also startled and pretended that it was the first time she met her today: "Didn't Xiao Yao say that you went to Yushan for a pilgrimage today?"

"Ah..." A trace of panic flashed across Yu Luying's face: "Yes...my uncle heard that you were sick and wanted to come see you, so I brought him here - the two of us will go to Yushan tonight."

Ah, little lying girl, does your Lord know?

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

"Hey, sister, let me go to the bathroom first."

"Don't go, it's dirty here. Go to my ward to use the bathroom." Shen Jie said.

ten minutes later.

Yu Bo stood awkwardly in Shen Jie's VIP ward, looking at this and that, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

He said he came to visit a sick patient, but he didn’t even buy any fruit. He said he came to bless the patient, but he brought nothing with him - holy belt, holy water, holy oil, not even a scripture. How could he bless him?

Besides, Shen Jie is not a Catholic, so she cannot be anointed with oil.

Yu Bo thought for a moment, then sat down beside Shen Jie's bed, holding the girl's head with both hands: "Heavenly Father, we know that everything we have is given by you. Our wealth, health, and life all come from you. Let us thank and praise you. Your maidservant is now suffering from illness and cannot move and work normally like us. Heavenly Father, please bless the injured and give her the courage and patience to accept her illness and pain, and please reward her with a speedy recovery and a normal life... May the Lord be with you."

"And with your soul." Yu Luying replied, and patted Shen Jie on the shoulder.

"Ah? Oh, it's also with your soul?" Shen Jie said.

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

"Amen." Xiao Yao followed Yu Luying and chanted.

"Amen." Shen Jie smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Father Yu, for making this special trip for me. Actually, I'm almost well now, so there's no need to go through so much trouble."

"Not specifically... not really," Yu Bo said with a guilty conscience, "It's just along the way, along the way."

Of course not, it’s just so convenient, Shen Jie thought sarcastically.

"Come to think of it, how come you got pneumonia in the middle of summer? You should take care of your health..." Yu Bo stood up and said, "You should keep warm and avoid going to places with poor air circulation or serious environmental pollution."

"Yes, Father, I know." Shen Jie answered obediently.

"You should exercise properly to improve your immunity... But you seem to have been exercising all the time, so don't eat spicy or irritating foods recently..."

"Father Yu," Shen Jie interrupted Yu Bo's nonsense: "Can you please bless Xiao Yao as well? I think his problem is more serious than mine now."

Yu Bo nodded, walked to Xiao Yao, held his head in the same way, and recited the prayer again.

After praying and chatting with everyone for a while, Yu Bo stood up and prepared to leave: "By the way, there is something I wanted to tell you. Since everyone is here today, let's talk about it together."

"Father, you say."

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

"After Xiao Shen recovers from his illness in a few days, I would like to invite you," Yu Bo looked at Xiao Yao, then at Shen Jie: "And you, take us back to the mirror."

"Ah?" All three of them were surprised.

"It's the one I mentioned last time, the one under the bridge..." Yu Bo explained.

"I know, why?" Xiao Yao asked first.

"I want to see that world with my own eyes, for one thing," Yu Bo explained. "Secondly, maybe I can train your abilities so that you can better use the abilities of your spiritual fortress..."

"Okay, no problem!" Shen Jie replied happily.

Xiao Yao rolled his eyes secretly, thinking that this is exactly what you want.

"But uncle, I don't have a spiritual fortress." Yu Luying said weakly.

"That's why I want to help you find it. Oh, by the way, Xiao Yao," Yu Bo turned around and said, "You should help your classmate, Bear... Bear... Bear..."

"Xiong Ji."

"Yes, let's call Xiong Ji as well." Yu Bo said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I still have to rush to Yushan."

"Well, Brother Bo, go ahead. Thank you for today." Shen Jie replied cheerfully, "Yu Luying, you will also go to Yushan to participate in the event later, right?"

"Oh, yes." Yu Luying looked at the tip of her shoe.

"I'll see you off." Before Shen Jie could speak or give any instructions, Xiao Yao had already taken action.

On the way to the hospital gate, Xiao Yao asked Yu Bo: "Brother Bo, why do we have to go to the mirror to level up again? I mean, what's the point? What are we improving this ability to deal with? I think I have the right to know, right?"

"It's better to be prepared." Yu Bo just spat out these four words coldly.

"How many things... have you been hiding from me... from us?" Xiao Yao blurted out.

Yu Bo stopped and said, "Don't you want to know why Yu Luying is here today?"

"Aren't you here to see Shen Jie?" Xiao Yao asked in confusion.

"Because I have epilepsy," Yu Luying pointed out.

"Ah? You too...oh, you were implicated by me?" Xiao Yao said.

"Maybe not." Yu Bo said.

The two walked out of the gate of the First People's Hospital and stood on the side of the road. Yu Bo took out a pack of Marlboro, took out a cigarette, crushed the popping bead, and held it in his mouth: "The cause of epilepsy may be related to symbiosis."

"what?"

"This afternoon, Yingying went to Yushan." Yu Bo tried several times but failed to light the lighter, so he had to turn his back and protect the flame with both hands: "Since I found out that you and Yingying are symbiotic, this should be the first time you are separated by such a long distance, so this is also the first time this problem has arisen-"

"Will the distance cause both of us to have epilepsy?"

"The basis of science is repeated experiments many times to get the same results, so at present this view can only be called a hypothesis."

Yu Bo finally lit a cigarette. Xiao Yao was still digesting this sudden information. He looked at him and then at Yu Luying.

"The address of the First People's Hospital is No. 85 Wujin Road," Yu Bo took a deep puff of his cigarette. "Yingying, when you had the problem, we were almost near the columbarium, No. 2188 Husong Road. I have just asked your teacher Yao to help me check, the distance is about 26.1 kilometers, and it may be shorter if you consider the straight-line distance."

"In other words..." Yu Luying, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"That is to say, the distance between the two of you may not exceed 20 kilometers. The specific distance needs further testing."

"How...how could this happen?" Xiao Yao murmured.

"You two are both students and your life paths are close, so there won't be any problems normally. But once one of you wants to go a little further, you will encounter obstacles." Yu Bo sighed, "Yu Luying, think about it. Should you tell your mother about this? And you, Xiao Yao, should you tell her too?"

Xiao Yao raised his head and looked towards the window of the inpatient department of the First People's Hospital.

What he didn't see was that Shen Jie was also sitting at the window of her ward at this moment, looking down at the three figures at the hospital entrance.

His eyes looked thoughtful.

Chapter 98 Hug left and right

2023-02-02

The next day, Xiao Yao went to the Department of Neurology for a comprehensive follow-up consultation and underwent an EEG test, but the conclusion was still that no possible lesions were found.

To be on the safe side, the doctor prescribed him sodium valproate tablets.

They stayed in the VIP ward for another two days. Xiao Yao's condition was neither better nor worse, and Shen Jie's pneumonia was almost cured.

Shen Jie actually wanted to stay in the hospital for two more days.

After all, not only does this place have a flush toilet and a shower, but it also doesn't have the lingering smell of Xiao Yao's old house.

Shen Jie would rather smell the smell of hospital disinfectant.

However, my pneumonia has almost recovered, and the doctor has only arranged for me to take medicine. If I continue to stay in the hospital, will Xiao Yao think that I am greedy for the conditions in the ward and despise his poor conditions at home, so I am recuperating here despite a minor illness?

If Xiao Yao is certain that I have this intention, will he cooperate with me, play the role of a patient who needs care, and never ask to be discharged from the hospital?

But this ward is very expensive. If you spend all your money, you will end up squandering the future of both of you.

Xiao Yao also didn't want to be discharged from the hospital, because the days they spent together in the VIP ward were like a vacation together.

Quiet, comfortable, with few distractions, and most importantly, the days go very, very slowly.

Xiao Yao likes this slow-paced life, as if he has returned to the past.

During these two days, Xiao Yao and Shen Jie talked a lot, a lot.

Shen Jie accompanied him to finish reading half of "Poetry Magazine", but finally gave up and turned to reading "Science Fiction Emperor".

The two had a detailed discussion about the plot of the novel in the current issue of the magazine.

The girl also read all the articles he had published and gave her own brief comments.

But he was also worried that this was a concession made by Shen Jie out of sympathy for his condition. After all, she didn't know that his "epilepsy" was not the kind of epilepsy she thought it was.

I now eat well and sleep well every day, and I am in great spirits. If one day she thinks that I pretended to be sick to deceive her, I will never be able to clear myself even if I jump into the Huangjiang River.

Moreover, all the expenses were paid by Shen Jie. As the head of the family, this situation was obviously not a long-term solution.

At night, lying on two separate beds, the girl told Xiao Yao her story about being on the synchronized swimming team in junior high school.

"You are so good at training, why did your father let you give up?" Xiao Yao complained: "It's too disrespectful to his children's dreams."
