Chapter 96 I’m Hungry
Ling Tianyi could hardly believe his ears. Yao Sheng and Shen Jiani were involved in it. How could it be possible? If he hadn’t called him, Yao Sheng would have never known it at all.
“Xiaoluo, what happened? Tell me all the things you remember.” Ling Tianyi seemed a little provoked. Xia Xiaoluo explained in details: Yao Sheng found her, and then Shen Jiani came. About their conversations, Xia Xiaoluo did not remember all, but she said all she could remember.
Ling Tianyi finally understood that it was a coincidence. This time, Xia Xiaoluo came back safely. If something bad had happened, even if he was his friend, he would still punish him.
Ling Tianyi once again picked up the cordless phone in the ward and dialed Yao Sheng’s number, but no one answered it. This time, Ling Tianyi didn’t think Yao Sheng was making love to that woman. This b.u.m-boy must be helping the villain who kidnapped his wife to escape.
Ling Tianyi wanted to contact his network, to find Yao Sheng and that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. But his mobile phone was not around him, it must be forgotten in the Hot Spring Villa. He couldn’t get in touch with others without a telephone book.
“Darling, I’m hungry now. Can you buy me something to eat?” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t eat lunch or dinner. She was not seriously ill. She just caught a cold and was frightened. Now she woke up, she felt very hungry.
Ling Tianyi looked at the clock on the wall. “Darling, it’s 3:30 at midnight. Where can I find food for you at this time? And I dare not to leave you by yourself. I’m afraid you’ll disappear in a moment. I’ll be crazy then.”
“Let’s order take-out!” Xia Xiaoluo suggested.
“Do you know the phone number?” Ling Tianyi rolled his eyes at Xia Xiaoluo. There were no mobile phones or contact lists.
“I know the delivery phone number of the western restaurant that I used to work. It is 24-hour service!” Xia Xiaoluo mentioned the restaurant that made her and Ling Tianyi meet each other.
“Don’t order from that restaurant. I will buy that restaurant later.” Ling Tianyi directly rejected Xia Xiaoluo’s proposal.
In Ling Tianyi’s mind, fortunately Xia Xiaoluo met him that time. If she met another old goat, how could she survive? That d.a.m.n western restaurant, how could they make the little girl deliver take-out to men? It was so dangerous for a girl! Then they asked the little girl to compensate and dismissed her.
“Darling, what shall we do then? Or, we can use the computer to surf the Internet, to see if we can find the take-out number.” Xia Xiaoluo proposed once again.
Computer was a necessity in luxury wards. Ling Tianyi sat at the computer table with Xia Xiaoluo in his arms. “It’s not comfortable at all. Why don’t they have a laptop? I’ll go to talk with the director of the hospital tomorrow.”
“Darling, it’s good enough to have a desktop computer!” Xia Xiaoluo was satisfied. She sat on Ling Tianyi and searched quickly.
“Let’s eat them!” Xia Xiaoluo pointed to the chips, fried chicken legs, hamburgers on the computer screen…
“Baby, you’re sick! These fried junk foods are not good for you!” Ling Tianyi grabbed the mouse and closed the website that Xia Xiaoluo had clicked out. Then he opened some websites of restaurants that sold porridge.
“Darling, I don’t like porridge!” Xia Xiaoluo said with grievances.
“Let’s call back home and let the servant cook something and send here.” Ling Tianyi said. The food cooked in this way was nutritious and clean enough.
“No, no! Don’t disturb other people’s sleep at night.” Xia Xiaoluo hurriedly prevented Ling Tianyi from calling back to the villa. She would feel guilty then.
Ling Tianyi didn’t care about it. “Baby, you don’t have to be so kind. We paid for the servants to serve us. Otherwise, why should I give them such a high salary?”
Xia Xiaoluo still felt it was inappropriate. In order to prevent Ling Tianyi from calling back home, she said against her will, “I am not hungry. Darling, I feel not hungry suddenly. For real.”
Ling Tianyi was helpless. Although he guessed that Xia Xiaoluo didn’t want to bother others, but in fact she was still hungry he chose to respect her decision, not calling back home.
“Darling, let’s go out for a walk!” Xia Xiaoluo suggested. She thought that if she went out, she could buy some snacks at the night market.
Ling Tianyi knew what was in Xia Xiaoluo’s mind. He sighed deliberately and exaggeratedly. Then he said to Xia Xiaoluo, “Darling, walking is OK! Would you like to go out in a hospital gown? Or would you like to change into your swimsuit and go out?”
“Ah? No clothes to wear?” Xia Xiaoluo asked with frustration.
“Right, all the clothes are in the Hot Spring Villa. We came to the hospital in swimsuits.” Ling Tianyi told Xia Xiaoluo such a fact that she did not want to accept.
“We don’t have clothes to wear, mobile phone, nor money. Even if we went out, we couldn’t buy anything.” Ling Tianyi’s words knocked Xia Xiaoluo again.
“Your pajamas look good. Where did they come from?” Asked Xia Xiaoluo.
“The nurse went to buy it for me.” After Ling Tianyi said, Xia Xiaoluo’s eyes were lit up immediately. “At night, there are nurses on duty. We can ask them to buy clothes for us.”
“Foolish girl, why don’t you just ask the nurse on duty to buy some food for you?” Ling Tianyi laughed. This little girl was so stupid. He liked her stupid behavior, and was worried about her at the same time. It was okay if she was a little stupid when she was with him. But if he was not around and she was stupid again, it would be dangerous.
Ling Tianyi pressed the beeper. Although it was midnight, in less than half a minute, 7 or 8 doctors and nurses came in the ward. Doctors and nurses saw Xia Xiaoluo lying on the computer desk and surfing the Internet. Ling Tianyi seemed to be all right. They looked at each other face to face but dared not to talk.
“Manager Ling, what can I do for you?” The doctor asked respectfully, with a very humble att.i.tude.
“Nothing serious, ask a nurse on duty to buy some food for me. The little girl is hungry, so am I. Pay attention to the food and make sure what kind of food the little girl can eat. In short, try to buy her meat dishes that are good for her. She loves meat.” Ling Tianyi said gently, the doctor nodded frequently.
“Nothing serious. Go ahead and do it! Don’t let the little girl starve.” Ling Tianyi finished and waved, which means you should go out right now.
The doctor immediately wrote a recipe for two nurses and a male nurse to buy it together. Considering the safety in the evening, three people were arranged.
“Darling, can I leave the hospital tomorrow?” Asked Xia Xiaoluo.
“Then I’ll ask the doctor first.” Ling Tianyi said and pressed the beeper again.
The doctor came in trembling and explained as soon as he came in, “I’m sorry, Manager Ling, the food was not ready yet, but I’ll call them to hurry up.”
“I’m not asking that.” Ling Tianyi was disgusted with the doctor’s cleverness.
“I’m sorry, Manager Ling. What’s your new order now?” The doctor wiped the sweat on his forehead. Rich people were really difficult to serve.
“I want to ask you when the girl can leave the hospital.” Ling Tianyi asked.
The doctor thought that the girl was not seriously ill. She didn’t need to be in the hospital. Asking her to stay here was just for safety. Now he asked when she would leave the hospital. She actually could leave the hospital at any time.
The doctor thought so, but he said earnestly, “The patient’s condition is not serious this time. But for her safety, it’s better to observe for a few more days. If nothing serious happens and she doesn’t have a fever, she can leave the hospital at any time.”
“Doctor, I don’t have a fever anymore. Is it possible to leave the hospital early tomorrow morning? To be honest, I don’t like to be in the hospital at all.” Xia Xiaoluo went to the doctor, waiting for the doctor’s answer.
“If you feel better or there is nothing serious after tomorrow’s examination then you can leave the hospital.” The doctor still said tactfully. In fact, his heart was crying: you could leave the hospital now. Go home and have a rest. You could be better.
“Well, I see. Ask them to buy food hurriedly.” After Ling Tianyi finished, he waved again and drove the doctor away.
“Darling, I’ll leave the hospital tomorrow, okay?” Xia Xiaoluo pulled Ling Tianyi’s arms like a spoiled child. Ling Tianyi also knew the doctor’s meaning, “Tomorrow we will have a comprehensive physical examination. If there is no problem, then we can go home.”
“Xiaoluo, there’s something important that I need to tell you.” Ling Tianyi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, talking with her without a smile.
Xia Xiaoluo was afraid of Ling Tianyi’s serious look. She could not help stepping back and loosened her hands which were holding Ling Tianyi’s arms.
Ling Tianyi realized that he was too serious. He showed a gentle expression immediately and took Xia Xiaoluo to the sofa. “I want to tell you something serious, but I’m not angry. I just want to tell you seriously. You must remember what I said and never forget it, understand?”
“Yes! I will remember what you said!” Xia Xiaoluo nodded hurriedly.
“Xiaoluo, you had accidents contentiously, not only because you met evil people, but also because you lack security awareness.”
“Let’s take what happened this time as an example. I’ve already told you that I’ve let everybody out of the Water Park. How can a man appear suddenly and fall in front of you so coincidentally? Haven’t you doubted that?”
“And even if he falls down, he is a man. Does he need your help? Even if you are kind-hearted, you know your husband is not here, and can you wait for me for three or five minutes? It will only take me a few minutes to buy water and snacks. Why don’t you wait for me, but help him by yourself?”
“He deceived you into the bathroom and said that the door was broken. Did you try it on your own? When we went there, the door was not broken, and it could be opened easily.”
“Climbing through the outlet of the exhaust fan was such a dangerous thing. Have you considered the safety before? What would you do if you fell down?”
Ling Tianyi pointed out the negligence of Xia Xiaoluo. Xia Xiaoluo lowered her head and said nothing. Her expression was very decadent and uneasy.
“Xiaoluo, I am not pointing at you, but reminding you. You must pay attention to these details. I want to protect you, but I have to go to work and you have to go to school. I can’t be with you all the time. You have to learn to be smart and protect yourself. Do you understand?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“Um, I know I’m wrong.” Xia Xiaoluo said with grievances.
“Well, that’s all for today. I’m not scolding you; I’m worried about you. Another day when we’re full and in good condition, I’ll tell you how to protect yourself.” Ling Tianyi was afraid that the little girl was unhappy, so he stopped criticizing her. He only hoped that his little wife would remember and pay attention to what he said today.
