"You've said it many times." Reinitz didn't care and helped her sit up. "What do you want to eat? Do you want to shower? "
Gu Nianzhi immediately felt uncomfortable and dirty all over. She looked down at herself and saw that she had already changed into a hospital gown, but there was nothing under it.
Reinitz sensed her gaze and said gently, "Two female nurses changed it for you. Can you move? I'll ask them to help you shower. "
Gu Nianzhi felt relieved when she heard the nurses had helped her change, but she shook her head to reject them. "I can shower myself. But … "She rubbed her stomach." I'm a little hungry. I want to eat something before I shower. "
She knew she must look unkempt and dirty, but she didn't care about showing it in front of Reinitz.
Because Gu Nianzhi treated Reinitz as a friend, she didn't need to think about showing her best side in front of him.
If Huo Shaoheng was here, Gu Nianzhi's first thought would be to immediately shower and change her clothes …
Also, when they were escaping together in the Alps, they had seen each other's dirtiest and ugliest sides.
Reinitz smiled. "What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat McDonald's." Gu Nianzhi licked her lips. She suddenly crazily wanted to eat junk food.
It was high in calories and tasted good, so it was more suitable for her current situation.
Reinitz said, "I'll get someone to buy it for you, but you can only eat fish and chips. If you want to eat something else, I'll take you to eat when you're better. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded and said happily, "Sure, you saved me. I want to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."
"Just treat me to a meal?" Reinitz looked at her, his blue eyes smiling. "That's not enough, right?"
"Then what do you want? Tell me. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely agree." Gu Nianzhi shrugged nonchalantly.
As long as you can do it?
Reinitz swallowed the words he wanted to say and smiled. "Treating me to a meal is definitely not enough. You have to treat me to at least three meals."
"No problem!" Gu Nianzhi extended her hand. "Come, let's high-five!"
Reinitz reached out with a smile and high-fived her three times. "Remember, you owe me three meals."
"Of course, of course!" Gu Nianzhi's energy gradually recovered, and her speech became more lively.
Seeing Reinitz reminded her of Mother Hanna. She couldn't help but ask, "Oh yeah, do you have any news about Mother Hanna?"
"Oh, yes." Reinitz smiled as he handed the phone to Gu Nianzhi. "Look, this is the latest photo of Mother Hanna. She's recuperating at St. Joseph's Hospital in Berlin. When you're better, we can go visit her together."
"In Berlin?" Gu Nianzhi frowned. "That's so far away. Isn't it inconvenient?"
Reinitz couldn't help but laugh. "Cereus, you're in Berlin!"
"I'm in Berlin?!" Gu Nianzhi was shocked. "I'm not in a small town near the Alps near Munich?"
"How can there be such a good hospital there?" Reinitz pursed his lips. He still had lingering fears about what happened back then. "You were too sick, so I found a hospital in Berlin to bring you here."
Gu Nianzhi scanned the room and confirmed that she was indeed in a very high-class room.
She hadn't seen many of the equipment before.
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. She remembered her strange healing abilities and excellent body constitution. She had a sense of resistance and resistance toward the equipment here.
Gu Nianzhi shifted uneasily on the bed. She looked down and murmured, "Reinitz, I'm better now. Can I be discharged? I can't eat or sleep here … "
She knew she'd overdone it the moment she said it.
As expected, Reinitz laughed. "You can't sleep here? Hmm? You slept for three days and three nights before waking up … "
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes. She was extremely embarrassed, but she forced herself to calm down. "I wasn't sleeping. I passed out."
Passing out for three days and three nights was better than saying she'd slept for three days and three nights.
Reinitz didn't correct her. He smiled as he listened to her continuously find all kinds of reasons to leave the hospital. Of course, he didn't agree, but he didn't reject her either. He listened to her act shamelessly, and his mood seemed to improve.
Especially when she talked for a long time and he shook his head, she immediately pouted. He couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help getting angry no matter what she said. She turned her head away angrily and said, "I'm going to shower. You can leave."
"Didn't you say you'd shower after eating something? You're not hungry anymore? "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
The two of them were at a stalemate in the ward until someone knocked on the door and delivered the fish steak and fries that Reinitz had asked someone to buy for her.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help turning her head when she smelled the food. Her gaze fell on the red box with the letter "M" written on it in Reinitz's hand.
McDonald's all over the world were the same.
Reinitz took the fish steak and fries out of the box and placed them on a disposable hospital tray. He placed it in front of Gu Nianzhi.
There was a food tray on the hospital bed where Gu Nianzhi was sitting. He opened it from the side of the bed and dragged it over.
She looked down at the steaming golden fish steak. The aroma made her salivate. Gu Nianzhi finally failed and picked up the fish steak with her hands to eat.
Reinitz didn't say anything. He poured her a glass of milk and heated it up in the microwave. He sat quietly to the side and watched her eat.
Gu Nianzhi didn't look at him. She closed her eyes and drank the milk as she ate. When she finished, she threw the tray away. "I want to shower."
"Ok." Reinitz slowly stood up. "I'll be outside. Call me when you're done."
"Call you for what? I'll sleep after I shower. "Gu Nianzhi continued to snort and turned her head to show that she was unhappy.
Reinitz took out a cigarette from his pocket and played with it. His slender fingers were very nimble. "You don't want to see Mother Hannah?"
Fine, you win.
Gu Nianzhi was instantly discouraged. She didn't argue with Reinitz anymore. She lifted the thin blanket with a red face and walked to the bathroom.
"Wait." Reinitz stopped her. From the pile of exquisite packaging on the sofa, he picked out a light gray wide-sleeved sweater, a pure black wool skirt, and a set of underwear. He handed them to her. "Here, change them."
Gu Nianzhi felt her empty body under the hospital gown. Although she was reluctant, she still took the clothes from him and asked, "Where are my own clothes?"
"Take them to wash."
"Oh? Where are my things?! " Gu Nianzhi was nervous. The things inside were all her treasures. They had gone through fire and water with her on this trip. She already had feelings for them.
"They're all here. I took them out for you and put them here." Reinitz handed her a black plastic bag with her Swiss Army knife key ring, a Zippo lighter, a pack of sanitary napkins (she blushed), and her wallet.
Gu Nianzhi was relieved. She took the black plastic bag and the clothes Reinitz gave her into the bathroom.
She was still a little weak and had difficulty sitting up. But after eating, she was able to get up and go to the bathroom soon.
She recovered so quickly …
Reinitz looked thoughtfully in the direction Gu Nianzhi disappeared to for a while before turning to leave.
He closed the door to Gu Nianzhi's room. There were two German bodyguards standing on both sides. When they saw him come out, they quickly saluted him.
Reinitz didn't look at them. "Watch the door. Don't let anyone in." As he spoke, he took the cigarette in his hand and walked to the smoking area.
Most of the places in the hospital were non-smoking areas. If you wanted to smoke, you could only go downstairs to the designated smoking area in front of the building.
Reinitz lit the cigarette and took a drag. His eyes stared blankly ahead.
He didn't seem to be thinking about anything, but he also seemed to be thinking about a lot of things. From when he first met Gu Nianzhi, to the two of them relying on each other to escape in the Alps, and then thinking about Gu Nianzhi …
Reinitz looked down and threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the trash can. He flicked his fingers and walked to the hospital.
He felt like he was thinking too much and had almost forgotten what he did for a living.
When he returned to Gu Nianzhi's room, she had already finished showering and was sitting on the sofa in a daze.
Looking at her from behind, one could see that her dark, seaweed-like hair was draped over her light gray sweater. Her black tunic skirt made her slender waist look like a young willow tree that had just sprouted its tender branches in spring.
Reinitz admired Gu Nianzhi's reassuring figure at the door for a while before knocking on the door and coughing softly.
Gu Nianzhi composed herself and looked back to see that Reinitz had indeed returned.
She stood up and walked briskly towards him. She looked up with a smile on her face. "Reinitz, didn't you say you were going to take me to see Mother Hanna?"
Gu Nianzhi felt like she wouldn't be able to calm down until she saw with her own eyes that she was indeed safe and sound.
"Now?" Reinitz looked at his watch. It was only ten in the morning. "That's fine. But can your body handle it? "
"I'm fine." Gu Nianzhi spun in a circle. Her skirt fluttered naturally and revealed her long, slender calves with graceful lines. "I'm all better now."
Reinitz looked away and said gently, "Good."
It seemed like he couldn't bear to reject any of her requests.
He walked out of the ward and called for a taxi on his phone. He also called St. Joseph's Hospital before coming in to tell Gu Nianzhi, "We can go now."
Gu Nianzhi walked towards him with the black plastic bag.
Reinitz was speechless.
"Why are you carrying this?" Reinitz frowned. He felt that the black plastic bag in Gu Nianzhi's hands was very incongruous with her ladylike attire. It was a disaster for Reinitz's sense of beauty.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to give up on the plastic bag no matter what because it contained her things. She didn't want to let go of them for even a second.
Since Gu Nianzhi was so insistent, Reinitz had no choice but to let her carry him out of the Charlotte Hospital.
They got into a taxi, but Reinitz didn't take her directly to St. Joseph's Hospital. Instead, he took her to the flagship store of Hermes in Berlin.
Gu Nianzhi saw the store from the taxi and froze. She turned to look at Reinitz, her eyes sparkling. She didn't know what to think.
Reinitz turned to look at her. His blue eyes seemed very deep, but also very empty.
Gu Nianzhi had already returned to her usual cheerful self. She said to him, "Reinitz, why did you bring me here?"
"To buy a bag, of course. You'll only embarrass me in front of Mother Hanna if you carry this black plastic bag to the hospital. " Reinitz opened the taxi door and got out first. He walked around to the other side of the car and opened the door for Gu Nianzhi.
He was very polite and very gentlemanly.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to get out, but on second thought, what was the point of staying in the taxi?
She still got out, but she didn't enter the Hermes store. She stood beside the taxi and squinted at the tall Hermes store door. She shook her head at Reinitz. "No, this bag is too expensive. I don't want it. I can't afford it."
"I'll give it to you," Reinitz said gently as he reached out to take her hand.
"I can't afford it." Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and rejected Reinitz's good intentions again.
She wasn't someone who didn't know what was important.
She accepted the luxury goods that Huo Shaoheng bought for her without any qualms, but Reinitz couldn't.
Reinitz looked at her deeply and said gently, "It's just a gift. What's wrong with not wanting it? Don't think too much about it. "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Why do I feel like I'm being rebutted by someone else?
She blinked and was about to think of another excuse to reject him when she suddenly remembered that she still had her wallet with her bank and credit cards. Although the credit limit wasn't as high as Huo Shaoheng and He Zhichu's cards, it was more than enough to buy a Hermes bag.
If she used her card to buy a bag here, it would leave some clues for the people who were looking for her …
Gu Nianzhi immediately changed her mind and giggled. "Fine, I was thinking too much. How about this, I'll buy it myself. "She then looked at Reinitz." How did you know that I like Hermes bags the most? "
"Really? I don't know. It's probably a coincidence. "Reinitz laughed and held her hand as they walked into the Hermes flagship store.
The clerks inside bowed to them, especially to Reinitz.
Reinitz walked into the world's most famous luxury store with his back straight. He was as elegant as an old European aristocrat. He was a completely different person from the first time Gu Nianzhi saw him, when he was a bare-chested mountain man chopping firewood.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes fell on the classic and new bags displayed in the store. Her eyes flashed and thought to herself that this person was really multifaceted.
The gentle and honest Alpine mountain man, the elegant demeanor of a European aristocrat in the Hermes flagship store. She wondered how Reinitz grew up …
"Which one do you like? I'll let them show you. "Reinitz bowed his head and spoke English to her.
Gu Nianzhi snapped back to reality and immediately took a fancy to this spring's new Verrou chain bag. The bag wasn't big, but it was just enough to carry all of her belongings. The color was very bright blue, and it reminded her of the deep blue lake she saw in the Alps.
The price was also very affordable. It was only 8,000 US dollars. It was a bit more expensive than other bags, but compared to Hermes' own bags, it was a good price.
Most importantly, it wouldn't exceed Gu Nianzhi's credit limit.
She pointed to the Verrou blue chain bag and said, "I'll take this one. It's more convenient to carry around."
Small, exquisite, light, practical, and the color was bright and eye-catching. It met all of Gu Nianzhi's requirements for a bag of this size.
Reinitz also took a fancy to the bag at first glance, and the price should be within Gu Nianzhi's acceptable range. It wouldn't be surprising to give it as a gift.
He nodded and said to the employee, "I'll take this bag. Find a brand new one."
The employee was a bit troubled and said, "This bag … is the only one available for now. If you want it, we can …"
When Gu Nianzhi heard this, she knew that the Hermes employees were playing the "hunger marketing" game again.
They were always unwilling to sell it to you smoothly. Instead, they would ask you to buy a bunch of other belts, accessories, scarves, and so on. They claimed that they were "bonding" with the staff. Only after they got familiar with them would they tell you that the bag you wanted was in stock!
They were actually trying to cause trouble.
If they had it, I would buy it if I could afford it. If I couldn't, I wouldn't buy it. Why would there be so much drama?
Gu Nianzhi pouted and was about to say that she wouldn't sell it when Reinitz took out a card from his wallet and said dryly, "… Do you have it in stock now?"
The employee's eyes widened when she saw it.
It was a Hermes VIP gold card!
Members with this card could spend seven figures a year at Hermes, calculated in US dollars.
Of course, these members could buy whatever they wanted as long as Hermes had it in stock.
"Yes, yes! Absolutely! "The employee immediately made a 180-degree change from arrogance to deference.
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched as she looked down disapprovingly at her new shoes.
It was a pair of Christian-Louboutin's famous red-soled shoes. The upper was made of high-quality black calf leather, but the soles were bright red when they stepped on the ground.
When they walked, only the bright red soles could be seen faintly, and there was a kind of ascetic coldness to it.
Gu Nianzhi knew that Reinitz had also bought these shoes for her. It was one thing to buy a famous brand, but he had actually bought this brand …
Reinitz's aesthetics were probably similar to his personality. Gu Nianzhi pondered in her heart and quickly glanced at Reinitz.
Reinitz was looking at her, and their eyes met before looking away as if nothing had happened.
Gu Nianzhi found her LV wallet from the black plastic bag and took out a black card to pass to the employee.
The employee didn't take it and only smiled at Reinitz.
Reinitz took the black credit card from Gu Nianzhi and passed it to the employee. "Take this to pay the bill."
In the blink of an eye, he had already exchanged his black credit card for the employee and held Gu Nianzhi's card in his palm.
Reinitz's movements were so fast it was like magic. Neither Gu Nianzhi nor the employee noticed that the credit card in the employee's hand had actually been exchanged.
"Ok, thank you both." The employee took the black credit card and walked into the store.
He found a brand new Verrou chain bag from the storeroom and took it out along with the dustproof bag. He then swiped his card at the counter to pay the bill and brought it over for Gu Nianzhi to sign.
The credit card number on the bill was replaced with XXXXX for safety reasons.
