"Li Huowang, thanks for coming to see us. I haven't had breakfast either." Qing Wanglai took out a white-and-purple Ginseng Fruit and smiled. "The doctor said I didn't injure anything vital. Looks like I should be discharged soon."
"Urgh—!!!"
Retching and coughing came from the bathroom, followed by the rush of running water.
Bang.
"I heard you went back to school. Congratulations. You'll be back to normal life soon." Yi Donglai opened the bathroom door and walked over, dark circles under his eyes. He said weakly:
"Good. Keep it up."
Doctor Yi, I feel like you're the one drifting away from normal life...
Li Huowang even wondered whether Qing Wanglai had poisoned Yi Donglai's water cup in the dead of night, or used some method to drain his life force. Otherwise, how could the man who had jumped off a cliff be ready for discharge while the one with mild food poisoning kept getting worse?
"Have you been checked?" Li Huowang asked.
They were in a hospital, yet it felt as though Yi Donglai hadn't received any effective treatment.
"Gastrointestinal dysfunction, but every test result is within the normal range." Yi Donglai sat down beside the bed, his brow easing slightly.
"Later, they suspected it was caused by excessive stress. Two visiting specialists giving lectures took a look at me last night and prescribed some probiotics for my gut and an anti-anxiety medication to calm my nerves."
"Could you get me a cup of warm water? Thanks."
Li Huowang took the thermos, but Yang Na took it from his hand.
"I'll do it."
Yang Na left the ward for the hot-water room.
