Time slowly advanced, Lin Xianfu was still undeterred when it came to dinner, and deliberately cooked a colorful dinner for his own enjoyment, but the result was that it tasted almost the same as lime in his mouth.
In the time immediately following, the distortion of taste and the hunger that filled his entire body tormented him for a full night. He spent the night staring up at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, listening to his powerful, regular heartbeat that sounded like the seconds of a clock, and fuming.
Rightfully so, this was a night that Superman's ears weren't about to let him off easy. From time to time, his ears could hear the cacophony of cars whizzing by on the road, as well as the sound of voices talking among the occupants of the alleys along the road.
Even more outrageous was the symphony of life for a two-person ensemble that rang out from a neighbor's residence at 3:00 in the middle of the night .....
Even though that sound had been suppressed very low, it was still heard by Lin Xianfu.
It was 3 o'clock! The energy was too high! Lin Xianfu was powerless to spit, and almost counting the time to almost 7 o'clock, he got up, took a cold shower, changed his clothes and went out.
After leaving the house, walking down the road, Lin Xianfu realized that even though he hadn't slept all night last night, all of his body's functions were in an energetic state, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue or discomfort.
Of course, this had to ignore that abominable feeling of hunger.
The appointment time was 9:00 a.m., leaving aside the trivialities of the bus ride on the way, Lin Xianfu rode for more than an hour and arrived at the hospital before his number was called.
At this time is about 8:30, the hospital has been people, bustling. It seems that people who think of coming to the hospital early in the morning to avoid queuing are not a few, although it can not be avoided at all is a little.
After receiving the number, Lin Xianfu found an empty seat and sat down, closing his eyes to rest his mind.
His ears were still unceasingly receiving all sorts of garbled information, but after last night's night of torture, he had begun to get used to it and wasn't as out of sorts as he had been earlier.
--Maybe even the level of tolerance to the clutter has evolved as well. Lin Xianfu thought.
But the changes in this body still hadn't stopped.
"Ah-choo!"
As he was sitting down to rest, a sudden itch attacked his nasal passages, and in a sneeze, Lin Xianfu's nose suddenly became cold and soothed.
After this coldness, what rushed sharply into his nose was a liquid odor mixed with strong disinfectant, sweat, and formalin.
It was "the smell of the hospital."
Lin Xianfu, who suddenly sat up straight from his stool and covered his nose, attracted the attention of several people, but they soon stopped looking this way.
"It stinks .... What is this smell?"
It wasn't that the aforementioned smell stank, Lin Xianfu worked in a clinic and was more than familiar with the smells of medical equipment, having long been accustomed to them.
This sudden amplification of a myriad of times of the smell that belonged uniquely to hospitals and clinics was not enough to move him so much.
What made him sit up straight in surprise was an indescribable stench, if he had to compare it, it was several times stronger than the smell of decaying corpses, and there was also a complex smell of sulfuric acid mixed with sulfur.
After his alienated pupils distorted, Lin Xianfu looked around, trying to find the source of this odor.
It didn't take long for him to pinpoint the source to a doctor.
It was a male doctor who stood at one meter eight and wore a loose white coat that was one size larger than his body. At this moment, he was sitting in front of a desk that was more than ten meters away from Lin Xianfu, carefully browsing through the paper documents at hand, from time to time picking up a pen and sketching a few strokes on it.
This male doctor has an ordinary face, wearing a pair of gold rimless glasses, judging from his face, he is estimated to be thirty-five, six years old, approaching middle age.
When I tried to look at him carefully, his pupils changed further, almost becoming the size of wheat awns, and his lens was distorted, so his eyesight was further improved, and Lin Xianfu managed to see the name of the license plate he wore in front of his white coat: Zhou Ruoxu.
Perhaps he had been sizing him up for too long, or perhaps he had vaguely sensed something, Zhou Ruoxu suddenly stopped his pen and raised his head, a pair of slender eyes looking towards the waiting table.
"Please invite patient Lin Xianfu to the consultation room to receive consultation."
The announcement of the consultation also happened to ring out at this time, and Lin Xianfu didn't move to withdraw his gaze, getting up and leaving his seat in a very normal manner.
On that doctor's body, how come... Stink so bad? Lin Xianfu used his residual light to look in Zhou Ruoxu's direction, and the nurses and patients over there all had very normal expressions, as if they were oblivious to the stench.
--They couldn't smell the odor. Lin Xianfu came to the conclusion that only his own alienated nasal passages were different from the norm and captured the odor.
The thing that Lin Xianfu was more concerned about than the attitude of the bystanders who turned a blind eye to it was: why was that doctor covered in such a strong stench? There must be an unknown secret in his body.
Admittedly, Lin Xianfu is not a person who likes to explore other people's secrets, but also can not help but have a little interest in this.
With a belly full of thoughts, Lin Xianfu walked into the place where the medical checkup was taking place, and began the medical checkup under the guidance of the doctor and the nurse.
--
"An illusion? It's like sensing who's staring at me."
The kind of feeling that his body produced just now was like a lamb being stared at by a wolf, subconsciously reacting in a stressful manner.
Stopping his pen, Zhou Ruoxu pushed the gold glasses on the bridge of his nose to cover the shallow green light under his eyes that was not easy to be detected, and thought coldly in his mind, "No matter who it is, it's best to pray that it won't be uncovered by me."
"Director Zhou, there's a scheduled surgery that's going to start in the next 10 minutes..."
The nurse's reminder caused Zhou Ruoxu to turn out of his thoughts, and he immediately changed to a kind expression and smiled, "Thank you for the reminder. I still have to get ready, so you go over first."
When the nurse left, Zhou Ruoxu took a deep look at the waiting table, packed up the countertop and left.
--
"Your liver and kidneys are not abnormal."
An elderly doctor wearing old-fashioned glasses sat at the table and pointed out to Lin Xianfu the printout of the day's physical examination results, explaining, "The blood provided has been taken for many kinds of tests, and none of them are abnormal either."
"Even the lumbar spine, which most people have nowadays, and cervical spine problems have not been seen at all. You have a well-proportioned bone pattern, not even a hunchback.
"... Summarize."
The elderly doctor put down the paper, took off his old glasses, and said amiably, "You are very healthy. Mr. Lin Xianfu. Please don't worry too much."
The heart that was hanging in the air was finally dead.
Lin Xianfu reluctantly asked, "..... Doctor, am I really not sick? Is there nothing abnormal in my body?"
"You are absolutely not sick. And are the healthiest person I've ever seen."
This kind of words seemed like déjà vu... Lin Xianfu spat in his heart and added, "But what if I think I'm sick?"
"..." The old doctor was silent for half a second and spoke in a tangled voice, "What kind of disease do you think you have?"
"I can't say .... It's just ...." Lin Xianfu struggled with the wording, but couldn't portray the result he wanted to express.
"Maybe it's an illusion." The old doctor came to a conclusion, and added hesitantly at the end, "If you do need it, I know a few doctors in psychiatry, so I can give you some pointers on which practitioner to pick to help you effectively with your symptoms."
"..... Not that side of the disease." Lin Xianfu cried and laughed, knowing that he would not get an answer to his question here, and he had no choice but to give up.
So, he got up and left the table, pushing open the door of the clinic to leave.
As a result, as soon as the door was opened, Lin Xianfu smelled the same stench that he had smelled in the morning! That doctor, Zhou Ruoxu, was standing at the door of the clinic, smiling and looking at himself who opened the door, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
