I go north, you go south

Chapter 10 Hospital
Ling Bei looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the office in a blink of an eye, click, click, click, the second hand returned to zero—exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.

"It turned out that I only slept for 10 minutes." Ling Bei took a deep breath and sat up from the sofa looking a little tired.He raised his hand to remove the metal-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, pressed the space between his brows, and then looked at the computer with a black screen on the coffee table in front of him.Get up to get a glass of water.

Ling Bei stood in front of the large and bright floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, overlooking the bustling traffic of the entire city from the highest point of the city.

Holding a glass with half a glass of water left in his hand, he raised his wrist and looked at the small screen like a smart watch, but what was displayed on it was—heart rate: 133.

"No wonder." Ling Bei said to himself in a deep voice.He tried his best to breathe steadily, and kept rubbing the glass wall with his left fingertips.

Thinking about Shiyang’s recent affairs, he was negligent in controlling his fatigue and stabilizing his emotions, and his sleeping time was disturbed, which led to the situation just now.

Originally, I just wanted to take a nap on the sofa while reading documents, but I almost fell into a nightmare again.

Ling Bei concentrated, just like in the morning, subconsciously took out a lemon candy from his pocket, skillfully tore open the package, and put the candy into his mouth.The sweet and sour taste of the candy pervades, slowly erasing Ling Bei's lingering nightmare.

After a while, Ling Bei sorted out his status, went directly to close the computer, then took the mobile phone that was put aside, and dialed a number that was not often contacted: "Hello, Teacher Tian, ​​hello. This is Ling Bei. Is it convenient for you? I may need to talk to you now."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Bei got up and walked towards the cubicle behind the office.

When he came out again, he put on a simple dark sweater suit. The casual attire made Ling Bei look like a loner college student. A very different kind of rebellion than usual.

Ling Bei turned off the main switch of the office, locked the door with the password of the office, and left Shiyang Building alone.

People in Anseong have always liked to divide the city into "South District" and "North District".The North District is the real center of finance and trade, where there are row upon row of commercial buildings, and Century Plaza is surrounded by them.The Shiyang Building is located in the center.

The "South District", which is only separated by a viaduct, looks much darker.There are sparsely built residential buildings in the area near the north side.Going further south, there are old one-story houses that are crowded and "demolished" are written in big red letters everywhere.Near the intersection of the viaduct, "Anseong No. 1 Civilian Hospital" is located here.

Often the lights in the north are bright and bustling; the lights in the south are sparse and silent.

At 06:30 in the evening, it is time for dinner.The No. 1 civilian hospital in Anseong is bustling with people coming and going.Ling Bei walked into the inpatient department alone, carrying an exquisite gift box in his hand, walking in a leisurely manner, compared with the "hurried pace" of the people around him, he seemed a bit out of place.

"Mr. Ling, I'm so sorry to trouble you to come here." A middle-aged woman who looked about 40 years old was standing at the entrance of the inpatient department lobby. When she saw Ling Bei who came alone, she greeted her with a smile, as if She was waiting for him specially.

"Mr. Tian, ​​you are being polite. I should be the one who troubled you. The time cannot be staggered these few days, and it will increase your work burden for nothing." Ling Bei stepped forward and handed the gift box in his hand to the other party first: "This is mine. A little thought, I am not very good at wine tasting, it should be just right for you, please accept it with a smile."
