"What did the doctor say? Is everything alright?" Guo Xuyang hurried to ask Xia Li as she came out.
"Nothing, development is normal, very good," Xia Li replied, holding the color ultrasound report.
"The doctor inside said this hospital has a postpartum care center, on the floor above the obstetrics department."
"That's great, let's go upstairs and take a look. We can also ask Director Yin if she's in charge of this section?"
Guo Xuyang said, taking the color ultrasound report from Xia Li and heading upstairs.
"Even though Director Yin is a director, she might not be in charge of the postpartum center."
Xia Li said, following closely behind Guo Xuyang to the second floor of the obstetrics department.
"Why are there so many people in just this short while?" Guo Xuyang muttered.
Indeed, by the time Xia Li had her color ultrasound, a long queue had already formed outside the obstetrics department.
It's not easy being a doctor. With so many patients waiting outside, there's no way they'll have a moment's peace this morning.
"Excuse me, please let us pass," Guo Xuyang said, holding Xia Li's hand and trying to move forward.
"What are you doing? Trying to cut in line? Go to the back and queue up."
A young woman with a visibly pregnant belly was displeased and reprimanded them.
"Sorry, beautiful lady, we just finished our color ultrasound and need the doctor to take a look," Guo Xuyang quickly said.
"The color ultrasound report clearly states everything, there's no need for a doctor to look at it," the young woman with the big belly said loudly.
"But the doctor who gave us the order said to come back after the color ultrasound," Xia Li chimed in. After all, it wasn't appropriate for Guo Xuyang, a man, to argue with a young pregnant woman.
"What are you arguing about? If you want to argue, go outside. This is a hospital, not a place for you to quarrel."
A nurse, who looked like a middle-aged woman, came over to reprimand them.
"Director Yin just told us to come back after the color ultrasound, but she wouldn't let us pass," Xia Li said, pointing at the young pregnant woman.
"Why so much trouble? Can't you just queue up properly?" the nurse said to the young pregnant woman.
"Hurry up and go. You, I'm talking to you. This is the obstetrics department, why are you pushing forward, a grown man?" she shouted at Guo Xuyang.
"This is my wife, I need to accompany her," Guo Xuyang said.
"Your wife isn't going anywhere, wait at the back. Look around, how many men are here?" the nurse said.
It was true. Guo Xuyang had been so focused on pushing forward, he hadn't noticed that most of the people queuing were young pregnant women or middle-aged aunts, with very few men. This made Guo Xuyang's face flush with embarrassment.
"You go ahead yourself then, I'll wait for you outside," Guo Xuyang said, handing the color ultrasound report to Xia Li.
"Okay. I'll be quick," Xia Li said, following the nurse towards the consultation room.
However, she came out quickly.
"What did she say?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"Director Yin was too busy. She just glanced at the color ultrasound, didn't prescribe any medicine, and said everything was normal, just to rest at home."
"What about the postpartum center I mentioned?"
"Didn't get a chance to say. But I got her phone number. She told us to go upstairs and take a look first."
"Then shall we go up and take a look? Which floor?"
"The twelfth floor."
When the two of them arrived on the twelfth floor, Guo Xuyang was stopped again.
"I'm sorry, sir, this is the postpartum care center, you cannot enter."
"No, I just want to take a look at the situation inside. My wife is due soon," Guo Xuyang said.
The young nurse who stopped him looked at Xia Li beside Guo Xuyang and asked with confusion, "Is it her?"
"Of course not. Does she look like she's about to give birth?"
"Please follow me over here, we have a reception room," the young nurse said.
"Ahem," Xia Li suddenly coughed from the side.
"What's wrong?" the young nurse turned and asked.
"Nothing, her throat is a bit sore," Guo Xuyang quickly said. He knew why Xia Li coughed suddenly. He had been staring at the young nurse's backside. The young nurse, although wearing a nurse's uniform, was very beautiful, with delicate features and light makeup, making her appear very pure. Moreover, she had an impressive figure, with curves in all the right places. Her hips looked like they had been developed, and she swayed them as she walked. It was precisely because he was so engrossed in staring at the young nurse's backside that Xia Li had to remind him.
"Then please come this way," the young nurse said with a smile, walking ahead and introducing.
"Our postpartum care center is managed by very experienced professional nurses, unlike external care centers. Furthermore, the fees here are reasonable and clearly priced according to our hospital's standards, so there's no risk of being overcharged. The mothers and infants in the postpartum period have fixed visiting times, and usually, accompanying persons are not allowed. Of course, fathers can accompany them throughout, and we also have parent-child care rooms, although the price is slightly higher."
"Are all the nurses inside as beautiful as you?" Guo Xuyang blurted out.
"Of course, they're more beautiful than me. They are all professional caregivers. Nobody wants to be looked after by an ugly person, right?" the young nurse said, rolling her eyes at him.
"I didn't mean anything else, I just think you're too beautiful. That's why I couldn't help but ask," Guo Xuyang explained.
"What's there to explain? This little sister is beautiful. You see a beautiful girl and don't know how to talk? Your drool is practically three feet long," Xia Li said with a bit of playful teasing. The young nurse just smiled and said nothing more.
The three of them walked through a long corridor and arrived at an office.
"This is our director's office. She will tell you the specific details." After speaking, the young nurse turned to leave.
"Is the director in? Aren't you accompanying us?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"I'm on duty today. I still have other guests to attend to."
"Beauty, what's your surname?"
"What? Trying to flirt with me? I already have a boyfriend. Your wife is about to give birth, and you're still out here flirting with other women. I really wonder what your wife would think?" the young nurse said and then left.
"Scumbag." She muttered softly as she turned away. Guo Xuyang heard this very clearly. Xia Li also heard it.
"See? What kind of image do you have in her mind?" she said with a chuckle.
"A beautiful woman is desired by a gentleman. I don't have any other intentions, I just find this woman quite charming." Guo Xuyang said shamelessly.
"When we get back, I really should let Xiao Xi give you a good scolding. You flirt with everyone you meet, I really can't stand you." Xia Li said, pushing open the office door.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" A woman in her thirties was sitting behind a desk, looking at a computer.
"Hello, doctor. I'm here to inquire about the admission procedures. Are there any regulations?" Xia Li asked.
"We are a postpartum care center run by the hospital, and all the care is provided by professional nurses, you can rest assured about that," the woman said.
