Chapter 136 Rock Sugar Snow Pear
Jian Ning's eyes stung with tears.

She understood all too well that people with her and Nan Nan's personalities, when faced with difficulties, would instinctively and firstly not want to drag the other person down with them.

The thought of Nan Nan being sick and not knowing exactly where she is makes me feel both heartbroken and angry.

She even considered replying defiantly—"If we're going to die, we'll die together."

But subconscious rationality still remains.

The word "death" is considered unlucky.

She didn't want this word to be associated with Nan Nan.

Jian Ning replied: "Where are you? I'm coming to find you."

Zhang Nan did not reply to the message.

Jian Ning wasn't the type to sit idly by and wait for her fate. After thinking it over, she realized there were a few suitable candidates who could help her find Zhang Nan's whereabouts in Beicheng.

My first choice is my partner, Professor Jiang.

Jian Ning had his business card, so she took it out of the cabinet and made a phone call to Professor Jiang.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Then she remembered that Jiang You had complained before that Professor Jiang's phone was often unreachable, that he had a cell phone but rarely carried it with him, leaving it in his office, and that sometimes Professor Jiang himself even forgot where his phone was.

This is why Professor Jiang entrusted the task of liaising with her to Jiang You, because even if he wanted to, he might not be able to get in touch with her.

Since she couldn't get through to Professor Jiang by phone, Jian Ning thought for a moment and sent a WeChat message to Xiao Heqi without much hope.

"Brother He, can you help me find someone?"

Xiao Heqi replied very quickly.

"Who?"

Jian Ning typed rapidly and replied: "Zhang Nan, female, 25 years old, from Moshi, my friend. She's sick, I guess she's hospitalized in some hospital in Beicheng, but I don't know the exact location."

Xiao Heqi only replied with one word.

"Ah."

Jian Ning knew that he meant he had agreed to help find the person, and her anxious mood calmed down a little.

With Xiao Heqi's connections, finding someone in Beicheng shouldn't be a problem.

While waiting, Jian Ning didn't stop working. She happened to have some rock sugar and pears at home, so she used a pot to boil a small pot of rock sugar and pear water.

The cell phone, which was placed next to the stove, suddenly started ringing. It was the ringtone she had just set.

Jian Ning glanced at the caller ID; it was an unfamiliar foreign number.

It's probably a scam call. It's almost the end of the year, and scammers are trying to meet their sales targets.

Without even thinking, Jian Ning hung up.

The next second, the phone started beeping again.

Jian Ning glanced at it; it was still the same number.

This doesn't seem like a scam; scam calls usually don't call back immediately after the call ends.

Jian Ning answered the call and heard an unfamiliar male voice.

The man said urgently, "Jian Ning, I'm Zhang Nan's boyfriend. I'm currently performing abroad and won't be back for a while. Nan Nan is sick. Could you please take care of her for me?"

Besides the anxious man's voice, Jian Ning could also hear a very noisy background noise on the other end of the phone.

Is that performance sound? No, it doesn't seem like it.

Amidst the 'boom boom boom' sounds, powerful explosions occasionally erupt.

Jian Ning had fired the gun herself, so how could she not recognize the background sound?

She wouldn't bother asking how the other person knew her phone number, and simply said, "I understand, I'll take good care of Nan Nan."

Then, he hung up the phone decisively.

After all, judging from the intense fighting sounds over there, she was afraid that if she said a few more words, the other side would just die.

She now faces a new dilemma: when she discovers that her best friend's boyfriend is indeed hiding a secret, should she tell her best friend, or should she let her best friend's boyfriend confess on his own?

Just then, Xiao Heqi sent a new message.

Jian Ning clicked on it and saw a hospital address, along with the specific floor and ward. Unsurprisingly, this was where Nan Nan was.

Jian Ning replied with great gratitude, "Thank you, Brother He."

Xiao Heqi replied, "Thanks are so inadequate."

Jian Ning: "..."

He's as sharp-tongued as ever.

"So how do you want me to thank you?"

Xiao Heqi: "The strawberries you grow should taste pretty good."

"Okay, I'll send it to you another day."

Jian Ning had previously posted a video of a composite image of strawberries on her account on the Farming Sect. Xiao Heqi is the president of the Fengqi Live Streaming APP, so it's not surprising that he knew she was growing strawberries.

She packed the piping hot rock sugar pear soup into an insulated lunchbox, wrapped herself in a trench coat, and went out.

Jian Ning took a taxi to the hospital, and it was already evening.

She found the corresponding ward, carefully pushed open the door, and found that there were three beds in this ordinary ward.

Coughing could be heard all around inside.

Jian Ning found Zhang Nan on the rightmost bed by the window.

Zhang Nan lay on the bed, eyes closed, mouth open, hair disheveled on the pillow, a nebulizer device on her face. In the entire ward, she was the quietest.

Jian Ning thought she was asleep, so she tiptoed closer.

Zhang Nan slowly opened his eyes, which were slightly swollen. He tried to speak, but then realized that he was wearing a fogging device and could only let out a deep "ah".

But when she raised an eyebrow and looked surprised, Jian Ning could guess what she wanted to say.

"Are you wondering how I knew you were here?"

Zhang Nan nodded.

Jian Ning smiled. "Of course it's because we're on the same wavelength. No matter where you hide, I can find you."

She placed the insulated lunchbox on the metal cabinet by her bedside.

"It contains rock sugar and pear soup. Drink some after you finish nebulizing."

A little while later, the nurse arrived, and Jian Ning stood obediently to the side.

The nurse removed the equipment, looked at Jian Ning, and asked, "Are you a relative of the patient in bed 39?"

Jian Ning was wearing a large trench coat, and she lowered her head slightly, with the collar of the trench coat almost covering half of her face.

She replied, "Yes, that's me."

The nurse frowned: "Why are you only arriving now? She's been hospitalized here for several days, and her fever is making her almost delirious. Her fever keeps coming down and then it spikes again. It's getting worse these past few days. If the fever keeps recurring, she'll have to be transferred to Xiebei Hospital. The flu is really serious right now, so you family members should be prepared."

After saying that, the nurse left.

Zhang Nan's hoarse voice said weakly, "She was just trying to scare you."

Jian Ning leaned over and touched Zhang Nan's forehead; it was indeed burning hot.

She examined Nan Nan and found that she was indeed very ill.

But for a mediocre healer like her, using herbs imbued with spiritual energy to brew a medicinal broth to treat fever and colds caused by this virus should be a piece of cake, no big deal.

She had a pretty good idea of ​​a solution, and a weight was lifted off her shoulders.

"Drink some of the rock sugar pear water I made first. You've been alone these past few days, and you must not have had a good time." Jian Ning helped her sit up, then pulled out a table from under the bed, placed it on the shelves on either side of the bed, and put the insulated lunchbox on it and opened it.

After Zhang Nan fell ill, she lost her appetite for any food. She wasn't in a hurry to drink either, and reached into the cabinet to pull out a mask: "Ningning, you put this on first."

Jian Ning didn't argue with her, the patient, and obediently put on her mask, urging, "Hurry up and drink some."

Zhang Nan then leaned closer to the lunchbox and smelled a faint scent of pear juice.

After getting sick, Mingming lost her appetite completely. But seeing pear juice now, her long-lost appetite seems to have returned a little.

It's like a person who has been thirsty for a long time in summer suddenly finding a clear spring in front of them.

Zhang Nan took a spoonful of sugar water, then his hand got tired, and he leaned weakly against the table.

Seeing this, Jian Ning took the spoon and fed her.
