The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 322 Visiting the Sick

"What? Grandma is sick?"

After the meal, seeing the two of them packing food into their lunchboxes, Nan Xiaofeng asked them a question out of curiosity.

Then she heard news that shocked her.

"Yes, my uncle has been taking care of my grandmother recently, and my grandfather has also come here and is hospitalized at Huaxi Hospital."

"My uncle got off work a little late today, so he asked me to bring dinner to my grandma."

Nan Jiayu carefully closed the lunchbox lid, and Su Tianqing took the lunchbox, put it into an insulated bag, and held it in her hand to test its weight.

It's just right for two people.

Nan Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment by the dining table, then stepped forward to take the insulated bag and went to the door to change her shoes.

"Little Feng, do you want to come along too?" the golden fox blinked and asked.

Nan Xiaofeng nodded.

"Yes. I only found out about this when Sister Jiayu told me. Of course I have to go and see."

"Okay, then let's go together."

The fox-woman narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.

……

Huatianli residential area is a bit far from Huaxi Hospital.

Five subway stops later, Su Tianqing stepped out of the subway station and looked at the still bustling hospital gate.

Huaxi Hospital has several campuses. My grandmother is hospitalized in the first campus, which is a bit far from the subway station.

The three walked on the sidewalk, two in front of the other. Nan Xiaofeng carried the lunchbox in front, while Mao and Hu followed closely behind.

"When did Grandma arrive? How come I didn't even know?"

"About a week ago? My uncle has been quite busy lately, he probably forgot to tell you."

"My dad, really..."

The Nan sisters chatted while Su Tianqing followed beside Nan Jiayu, her expression calm, without interrupting.

Walking through the bustling crowd, the three, wearing masks, arrived at the entrance of the inpatient department.

Su Tianqing felt as if she had lived through another world.

Thinking back to her previous life when she died suddenly during a night shift, it's hard to believe that she's already spent so much time as Su Tianqing...

Many memories of the past have faded, but the scenes of working overtime are still vivid in my mind. Seeing the inpatient department lobby feels like coming home.

Unlike Su Tianqing's calm demeanor, Nan Jiayu and Nan Xiaofeng curiously looked around, clearly it was their first time visiting the Huaxi Inpatient Department.

"There are so many people at this hour."

Nan Xiaofeng sighed.

"Huaxi Hospital is quite famous throughout the country, so it's normal for it to have a large flow of patients," Nan Jiayu replied.

"Where is Grandma's ward? Let's take the lunchbox to her first."

The three of them caught an elevator and went to the respiratory medicine floor, where they knocked on a door to open a ward.

An elderly man lying half-reclined on the bed watching TV came into Su Tianqing's view. The cardiac monitor by the bedside was not fully activated, only the blood pressure and oxygen clips were on.

Upon seeing the three people push open the door and enter, the old man hesitated for a moment, then smiled in surprise and greeted the two of them.

"Oh, it's Jia Yu and Xiao Feng. What brings you two here?"

"Grandma! Grandpa!"

Nan Xiaofeng rushed forward, almost jumping to the bedside, and said with concern,

"Grandma, you're sick, why didn't you tell me? Is it serious? What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said it's a minor problem, I just need to stay in the hospital for a few days, don't worry about me."

The old man chuckled, took the lunchbox that Nan Xiaofeng had opened, and scooped a mouthful into his mouth.

"How is it, Grandma? Does it suit your taste?" Nan Jiayu asked nervously.

I'm used to cooking Sichuan cuisine myself, so I don't know if my grandma will be able to eat it.

But seeing the smile on the old man's face, everything was understood without words.

While eating slowly and carefully, the old man glanced at the golden fox sitting next to Nan Jiayu.

"Jiayu, who is this...?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention, this is a friend of mine from university, her name is Su Tianqing."

Nan Jiayu quickly introduced the golden fox beside her to the old man.

"Tianqing has taken good care of me in every way. After hearing that you were sick, Grandma, she also wants to come and visit you."

"Hello, Grandma~"

The golden-haired fox girl smiled, wagged her tail, and waved to the old man. Her obedient appearance brought a smile to the old man's face.

"Hello, hello. What a lovely little girl! How old are you? You should be about the same age as Xiaoyu."

"Oh my... I'm already so happy that Xiaoyu can make friends, and I didn't expect her to be such a cute little girl."

The old man's words made Su Tianqing a little shy, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still responded politely.

……

The brief visiting period has ended.

After saying goodbye to Grandpa at the ward door, the three of them stood in the elevator corridor and crowded around Su Tianqing's phone to look at the medical record photo she had just secretly taken from the nurse.

The medical record was filled with familiar yet unfamiliar words.

Nan Xiaofeng felt that he recognized each character individually, but when put together, he was completely baffled and couldn't understand it at all.

This happens to be Su Tianqing's area of ​​expertise—after all, she studied medical school in both her past and present lives, so it's a perfect match for her major.

"...Sister Jiayu, what does this medical record say?" Nan Xiaofeng asked, looking at her cat sister.

Cat Girl glared at her younger sister, then looked down at the medical record photo in Tian Qing's hand, sweating profusely.

Medical records?

I'm just a freshman! It would be a miracle if I could even understand it!

But aren't you a freshman too, Tianqing? Why are you watching it so intently?

"It's nothing, a minor issue."

Su Tianqing nodded and said,

"Grandma is seventy-five years old this year, and her health is quite good according to the indicators. Her high blood pressure is also well controlled."

"The reason for this hospitalization is a respiratory infection. Overall, the patient is in good condition, and we haven't seen the cough that was present upon admission today."

"At this rate, he should be able to be discharged and go home in another two or three days."

"That's what the attending physician, Dr. Hu, said."

Nan Jiayu felt the enormous gap between herself and Tian Qing in their professional courses, which seemed like an insurmountable chasm, and silently made up her mind to catch up on her studies.

"Sister Tianqing is amazing!"

"Hehehe, I'm a medical student, this is a piece of cake."

Su Tianqing wagged her tail confidently, silently keeping a distance from Nan Xiaofeng, afraid of being caught by the fox-sucking monster again.

After learning that their grandmother's condition was quite stable and optimistic, the three of them were no longer worried, but they did not disturb her rest. They said goodbye and left after Nan's father arrived.

The three sat in Nan's father's SUV, chatting and laughing.

"Jiayu-jie! I heard Qiugui and the others are having a concert in Chengdu soon, do you want to go together?"

"...Wasn't it already over yesterday?" Nan Jiayu asked, puzzled.

"Huh? Yesterday?... Waaaaaaah, I misread the time!!"

After confirming the date, Nan Xiaofeng wailed in the passenger seat, clutching his head, while Su Tianqing covered her mouth and chuckled.

Nan Xiaofeng is a huge fan of magical girl anime, so missing Qiugui's concert seems to have been quite a blow to her.

But she didn't give up for long and immediately started searching for recordings of the concert. Su Tianqing also spoke up to comfort her:

"It's okay if you miss them. I heard that Qiu Gui and the others will stay in Rongcheng for a while longer. They'll probably return to Shancheng after the Hyacinth Squad returns to full strength."

"I heard they'll also be performing at the Chengdu Heroes Association's annual meeting. Let's find a chance to go see them!"

"Okay! Let me check the specific time... Ah, there's a birthday celebration performance the day after tomorrow night, and a whole set of limited-edition merchandise will be given away in a raffle!"

Nan Xiaofeng flipped to the event calendar, her eyes lighting up, and turned to look at the catgirl sitting next to Su Tianqing.

"Sister Jiayu! Can I have my allowance—?"

"(stare)"

Cat's Eyes glanced at Nan Xiaofeng, making her shrink back.

"Pocket money? How's your winter break homework going? Let me see it first before we talk about pocket money."

"Waaaah—Sister Jiayu, no!"

"Hehehe... Okay, I'll sponsor you, just pay me back when you have pocket money~" Su Tianqing said with a smile.

"Tianqing! We can't spoil her like this!" Nan Jiayu shouted.

"Sister Tianqing! I knew you were the best!"

Nan Xiaofeng's joyful voice echoed in the car, and even the usually composed Nan's father couldn't help but smile.

The family atmosphere was the same as always, yet something seemed to have changed.
