Ever since his rebirth, Qin Guan had always been healthy. He had never gotten sick. He had thought it was another gift from the gods.
Birth, death, illness and old age were all undeniable elements of nature after all. Why would the greedy guy wish to be young forever?
He decided to take advantage of his cold and beg his girlfriend for mercy.
No sooner said than done. Cong Nianwei’s phone started ringing.
"Hello? What's the matter?" Cong Nianwei was studying for her thesis. She answered the call doubtfully.
"Darling, I’m sick. I feel terrible..."
Cong Nianwei shivered at his weak, trembling voice. Is that my boyfriend? His voice is so soft...
"Where are you, Qin Guan? Is it serious?"
"I’m in my dormitory. I have a runny nose and I’m sneezing..."
He sounds really sick! Cong Nianwei stopped
writing and started moving her pencil between her fingers nervously.
"Wait for me. I’ll come as soon as possible!"
She threw the pencil down at her desk and disappeared in a whirlwind.
Ten minutes later, a taxi pulled up at the entrance of the Capital University of Finance and Economics. The talkative driver had remained unprecedentedly silent the whole way there.
The girl in the backseat had looked too serious, so the scared driver had sped up unconsciously. Cong Nianwei handed him 15 yuan and rushed out in a hurry.
"Hey, girl! That’s not enough!"
Another five-yuan bill fell on the seat.
"Hey! Here’s your change!"
Cong Nianwei was already 10 metres away from him.
"Wonderful! I’ll keep the tip!" The driver grinned and drove away.
Cong Nianwei ran upstairs with red cheeks, her fear evident in her eyes.
Qin Guan had sounded
sounded awful on the phone. It had seemed like he was about to collapse.
I have to take him to the hospital. Fortunately, Renmin Hospital is not far from here.
Cong Nianwei knocked on the door gently.
Liu Xiaoyang answered the door. "Cong Nianwei, it's you! Come in, please."
Cong Nianwei entered the room and saw Qin Guan sitting up in bed, wrapped with a quilt. "Are you feeling better now?"
Qin Guan smiled at the mere sight of her. "I caught a cold..."
Cong Nianwei picked up a tissue and cleaned his snot for him.
"You have never caught a cold ever since we’ve known each other. I’ll take you to the hospital."
She lifted the quilt before Qin Guan could react. Then she put the quilt back down again calmly.
"Put your pants on first."
Liu covered his mouth and turned towards the wall. Cong
wall. Cong Nianwei observed the sky through the window. Looks like a good day today.
After two minutes, Qin Guan poked her on the back. "Oh!"
Cong Nianwei turned around and glanced at him. "Oh!"
They went out hand in hand.
Liu Xiaoyang was confused. How do they communicate with each other? Lovers are different from ordinary people.
The two of them got into Qin Guan’s car. When they were more than 100 meters away, Qin Guan remembered to ask, "When did you get your driver’s license?"
Cong Nianwei looked steadily forward. "I’m really busy these days with my courses, learning a foreign language and getting my driver’s license. There will be more surprises waiting for you in the US."
Qin Guan smiled at her. That's my girl.
She was not a clingy girl. She was professional and independent.
They walked out of the Renmin hospital parking lot. Cong
parking lot. Cong Nianwei pointed to the elevator. "I’ll register for you. Wait for me at the clinic."
Qin Guan was a well-behaved patient that day. He got to the third floor like a good boy.
The corridor was crowded, but he shamelessly occupied two seats.
He leaned back against his chair in a daze. He waited for more than 10 minutes before Cong Nianwei came over with a piece of paper. "You are lucky. There are still some vacancies left."
As soon as she stopped, the doctor in the clinic called, "Next, Qin Guan!"
Cong Nianwei put the paper and his medical record in his hand and pushed him towards the clinic. Then she sat down and realized something.
The clinic was near the family planning [1] and gynaecology department.
A pregnant woman was sitting beside her. As she caressed her belly, she began talking to Cong Nianwei. "You look so young. Why are you waiting here?"
