Chapter 40: Does My Roommate Have a Relationship with a Celebrity?

  At night, she might have been too tired and fell asleep in a moment, occasionally kicking off the bed sheet on her body. He lay sideways facing her, watching her sleeping posture! How naughty!

  Ling Hao Yu carefully moved the medicine bottle, walked to her side with difficulty and sat down, pulled up the bed sheet for her, looked at her pouting face which was really cute, and unknowingly fell asleep beside her.

  "Hey, what are you doing leaning on me? Can't you see this is a medicine bottle? Don't you know what a medicine bottle is? Are you brain damaged?" Gu Xi heard the sound of the medicine bottle rolling on the ground and suddenly woke up to find him lying on top of her, sleeping very peacefully like a little cat. She patted him awake, pointing at the rolling medicine bottle and scolding him.

  "Ah, oh!" Ling Hao Yu opened his eyes to find his hand on his chest and awkwardly sat up. To cover up the embarrassment, he scratched his hair and said.

  "Go back to bed and wait for your parents to come and settle the bill, then I'll leave! Don't look for me whether you have something or not, I've paid off your debt, and I'll disappear immediately." Gu Xi got up and tidied up his clothes, walked into the bathroom to simply wash his face.

  "Then I'll lend you a few million more, how about that? Let you pay it back for the rest of your life?" Ling Hao Yu heard her resolute words and somehow liked her temper even more. He started packing his things to prepare for discharge from the hospital.

  "It's not needed!" The three words came out very softly, with a hint of weakness, but lost the domineering and affirmative effect she had expected in her mind.

  Half a bell later, I heard the familiar sound and hurried over to the mixed footsteps, with high heels and leather shoes. Soon, Ling's mother, Ling's father, and cousin Lin Xiaorong appeared.

  Lin Xiaorong looked much more spirited, with a new haircut that made her look neat and tidy. At first glance, it seemed like she was wearing high heels, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Ling Mu's shoes, while Lin Xiaorong herself wore a simple blue tracksuit and a pair of white sneakers. This outfit suited her even better than before. However, in Gu Xi's opinion, if she fully recovered, she would revert to her original form, which meant that she couldn't shake off her hatred for Tian Ge.

  "Xiao Xi, how have you been lately?" Lin Xiaorong's first glance saw Gu Xi running over to greet her.

  。

  "Hey, you stinky girl, I'm sick and my arm is all twisted up!" Ling Hao Yu sat beside her, reaching out from behind Gu Xi to pat Lin Xiao Rong's shoulder and said with a mischievous tone.

  "You say that again and I'll expose all the ugly things you did when you were a kid." Lin Xiaorong gripped Gu Xi's arm tightly, with a humble smile.

  "What a mess!" Gu Xi was not interested in these things at all, but seeing Lin Xiaorong recovering well, he needed to accommodate her a bit.

  "You little scamp! Don't be allowed to speak!" Ling Hao Yu had no idea what kind of handle was in his younger cousin's hands, from when they were young? They were more than 10 years apart in age, what could a young and innocent cousin possibly have on him?

  "Look at you, what a state you're in!" Lin Xiaorong said with satisfaction.

  "The discharge procedures are done, let's go! I told Xiao Hui to cook lunch this morning, and we can eat together when we get back!" Ling's father finished the discharge procedures and returned to the ward, hearing the children teasing each other, he interrupted.

  "Alright, let's go!" Ling Haoyu picked up the big and small bags and followed them out. Lin Xiaorong insisted on holding Gu Xi's hand as they walked together, and the group walked through the corridor to the hospital entrance where two cars were parked.

  At 10 o'clock, the hospital was crowded with people. Jin Jing knew that Ling Haoyu had been discharged from the hospital, so she came out of her office and into the corridor, and called her good friend Shang Guan Yiyi, "Shang Guan Yiyi, why are you so slow? I've already called you several times, and you still haven't arrived? They're almost gone!"

  "Here! Here! I'm right behind you, I was just going to your office to find you, the head nurse said you were in the ward." Shangguan Yiyi panted and ran out of the office, and as she reached the long corridor, she saw Jinjing's back, her voice still echoing.

  "Where is it?" Upper official Yiyi was still panting, wearing a white lace-trimmed cake skirt, her hair seemed to have just been permed, but the technique wasn't quite right, and it looked like a chicken nest on top of her head. She wore shiny fish-mouth shoes, and this outfit was supposed to be for an accidental encounter. Unexpectedly, she didn't have enough time to run and was panting, with a lot of sweat under her arms, fortunately without any body odor, but the wetness made her feel a bit embarrassed.

  "Are you getting married with this outfit? So grand? Look at those five people in front, one of the young men is Ling Haoyu, and the older ones are his parents, they look really well-maintained and youthful. As for the girl wearing a blue sports suit next to him, she seems to be his cousin, and the girl with super short pants holding her arm, was here yesterday too, their relationship doesn't seem simple." Jinjing gazed at the family walking further away, chattering nonstop, only realizing that her best friend had already run to the hospital entrance.

  。

  "Princess disease, princess disease!" Shangguan Yiyi exclaimed repeatedly.

  Ling Fu, Ling Mu and Lin Xiao Rong sat in a car with a dedicated driver, while Gu Xi replaced the driving position carrying Ling Hao Yu, and got on the bus one after another.

  "What's with the princess disease? Who are you calling?" Jin Jing walked over to her side and asked in puzzlement.

  "Am I seeing things? I was calling that girl in the super short shorts, and it seems to be my roommate!" Shangguan Yiyi exclaimed, standing on tiptoes and anxiously gazing at the car that had already started moving away.

  "How could it be your roommate? All the girls who know Ling Haoyu are of extraordinary status, how can they possibly meet in a common house like yours? Next time we'll find another chance to take a look at him, he's so handsome, if I could marry such a man that would be great!" Jin Jing pouted with a dazed expression and started daydreaming again, those big doll-like eyes are really likable.

  "Alright, alright, you asked me to come see, I'm afraid I just wanted to see for myself. Maybe I was wrong, but that figure seems like Gu Xi!" Shangguan Yiyiy turned around and pinched her delicate face, looking like a porcelain doll. It had been some time since she last saw Jinjing, and her figure seemed unchanged, only wearing the nurse uniform made her look much more mature.

  "Never mind, since you're all here, wait a minute. I'll go to the office and ask for an hour off, then we can go eat something, there's delicious seafood congee nearby!" Jin Jing pulled Shang Guan Yi Yi together to the office to find the head nurse to ask for time off.

  The head nurse, wearing a white uniform with some differences from the general nurses, Jin Jing wore a pink nurse's uniform and walked into the office to start coquettishly asking for leave from her leader, "Head Nurse, can you approve my going out for a while? I haven't seen my friend in many years and want to chat with her, please approve it?"

  "That patient waited for over an hour before receiving emergency treatment, do you think that's acceptable?" The head nurse had been working at the municipal hospital for over a decade, a woman in her forties with a stern and serious face, who spoke in a particularly harsh tone.

  Jin Jing is a new member she thinks highly of, simple, healthy, and positive, most importantly, able to endure hardship, receiving praise from many patients.

  "Are you going to let her go? Nurse, please! Please!" Jin Jing clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture and involuntarily pushed against the head nurse's shoulder.

  "Jing Jing, what are you doing? You're always like this when you ask for leave?" Shang Guan Yi stretched her neck to peek out the window, thinking that this close friend hadn't changed a bit, still loved to be coquettish, regardless of object or age.

  。

  I remember that in the past when they were in high school, both of them were boarders. They were not allowed to go out of the school gate normally, but Jinjing liked playing online games at internet cafes very much, so they often went together.

  As soon as they walked to the school gate, they would act like spoiled children in front of the security guards until those guards couldn't take it anymore and let them out. Jinjing was very innocent and kind-hearted, and later she got into medical school with excellent grades, so they parted ways.

  "Alright, just one more hour, you little devil!" The head nurse couldn't take it anymore and looked at the watch on her wrist. It was almost lunchtime, so she made an exception and allowed her to go out.

  "I love you, Head Nurse! You're the best!" Jin Jing excitedly threw herself into the head nurse's arms, giving her a warm hug, then quickly took off her nurse uniform and put it on the office desk before running out.

  "Still using the same old tricks after all these years?" Shangguan Yiyi patted her shoulder and said with a smile.

  "That's it, I have a special condition that can't be used?" Jinjing, although in her twenties, was still wearing very cute clothes. Her T-shirt was full of patterns from the anime "Crayon Shin-chan", and around her neck hung a string of pink beads from the "Princess" series. White princess shoes, really made her look like a character who walked out of an animation.

  "I'm really convinced by you, it's great that you can intern in this hospital!" Shangguan Yiyiy had some small feelings of regret, why others were doing so well while she was not?

  "Hey, I got in through connections, you forgot that my uncle is the head of internal medicine here." Jinjing said with a bit of shyness as she walked with her friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time to a small alley 500 meters away and came to a small store where they ordered a shrimp and crab congee and started chatting.

  As soon as they met, it was a torrent of non-stop chatter, a normal phenomenon among close friends. Listening to Jin Jing recount her terrifying experiences starting her hospital internship, facing blood and gore every day. Feeling that apart from appearance, she had matured a lot internally, Wang Yiyi thought to herself and felt a bit ashamed, wondering what she had been doing for the past half year.

  Wasting time, day after day, has become a habit. Now I'm worried about the next meal after finishing this one. As a complete NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training), I often feel like changing my life, but I've lost direction and it's hard to escape this state of dependence and laziness.

  These seafood porridges were what she often treated Jinjing to during high school, but today she didn't have much of an appetite. It seemed like it was hard to swallow, and after scooping half a bowl, she hadn't eaten more than a few mouthfuls. Jinjing asked in puzzlement, "Isn't it good? Is your work not going well?"
