Chapter 2 The Gentle Doctor is So Soft.

Under Lu Jin's personal supervision, the procedures for leaving the Ecological Anomaly Management Bureau were completed quickly.

Before leaving, Sang Li was taken to the Administration's medical center.

For the past two years, she has been brought in for a medical check-up every three weeks.

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and the walls were made of seamless, integrated white ceramic tiles.

She lay obediently on the cold machine, her body restrained in soft yet sturdy straps. Blue lights flickered around the machine, and a faint but rhythmic hum echoed in her ears.

"Xiao Li, it might hurt a little this time."

A familiar voice came from the doorway.

Sang Li looked up and saw Bai Heng walking in.

He was wearing a pristine white lab coat and holding a small syringe and a metal anklet.

White is the perfect color for gentle people.

It looks pleasing.

"You're here." Sang Li's lips unconsciously curled up.

During the time she was confined in the shelter, her favorite person was Bai Heng.

Bai Heng is the expert director of the Bureau's Medical Center. He develops various drugs for abnormal individuals and is also responsible for her monthly physical examinations. He is a very gentle person who always speaks with a smile. When you speak, his eyes will be fixed on you intently, as if filled with all the most beautiful human emotions, like a dazzling galaxy.

Even outside of her medical check-up time, if Sang Li wanted, she could use the dedicated line in her house to directly call Bai Heng's office and apartment, and he would listen to her.

Last year, Bai Heng gave her a white rabbit so she could take care of it. Sang Li loved it, but later the rabbit got sick and died because it didn't eat the right food. Sang Li cried for a long time and vowed never to keep a pet again.

Bai Heng was also the only person in the entire Administration Bureau who wasn't afraid of her.

He even argued with the Bureau several times, saying that Sang Li shouldn't be classified as an S-level danger, that she was harmless, and that she should be reintegrated into normal society.

Although the administration later rejected his proposal.

But Sang Li was still grateful.

"Xiao Li, we're finally going out. Are you happy?" Bai Heng asked.

He won't call her 071.

It's either Sang Li or Xiao Li.

A name is something that can connect with human emotions.

He said her name was beautiful, that she was a human being, not just a cold, impersonal code.

Therefore, Sang Li favored him.

Lying on the bed, Sang Li nodded: "Will we meet again after we get out?"

Bai Heng said, "Of course, I will also be responsible for your daily check-ups. If you feel unwell, I can come to see you anytime, just like I do now."

Sang Li smiled happily.

Since being identified as an anomaly, her life has been completely disrupted. People around her have started to keep their distance, and her divorced parents have taken back the house she lived in. Fortunately, thanks to Bai Heng, she quickly adapted to her new identity. Now that she's gone, she worries that she might never see her only friend again.

"I brought you something this time."

He took a small glass bottle from his pocket. The transparent medicine shimmered slightly blue under the light. The medicine was poured into a medical device and then injected into her body; it served as a stabilizer.

After the injection was completed, the other hand took the bracelet out of the sterilization bag.

It was a specially made chain with a light pink metallic glaze and a smooth surface. It was a very thin chain with fine sensors embedded in the metal edge, and a pink heart was cone-shaped below the sensors.

Sang Li's gaze lingered on the chain for a moment: "What is this? Have you guys recently developed a new device?"

It looks like a Valentine's Day limited edition bracelet from some luxury brand.

"The abnormal electromagnetic induction and stabilization system, the one you're wearing on your foot, is an anklet. It's very light, so don't worry about it affecting you," Bai Heng explained while adjusting the parameters on the anklet. "It monitors the magnetic field fluctuations around you in real time and releases information waves to stabilize your magnetic field band. So you can have normal contact with humans, as long as you don't bite them, there won't be any problems."

Oh, it's the device that makes her less attractive to humans.

That's a pretty tactful way of putting it.

He smiled and added, "It's mainly to ensure that humans won't go crazy loving you after they see you."

Sang Li nodded.

That's true; when humans go mad, they're almost like aberrations.

If she bites me again, I'll completely turn into a monster who loves her.

Sang Li had seen similar products before, which were generally thick, large, and bulky, the kind that you couldn't even wear pants with. She never expected them to be improved like this.

Bai Heng said, "It's the light pink you like. I specially asked the tech department to make it. Why would a girl wear shackles? I don't know what Lu Jin was thinking. If he can't do it himself, he shouldn't take you out."

Sang Li chimed in, "Exactly! By the way, what other functions does it have?"

"It's gone."

"ah?"

Sang Li gestured: "I thought they would monitor me and give me a shot if I lost control to keep me calm."

Bai Heng smiled: "The device is to protect you. What if someone suddenly gives you a sedative and you fall into a coma and get picked up? This device is to prevent humans from doing anything crazy to you. It's also to help you better integrate into human society."

Realizing something, he changed his tune: "Of course, it's my fault. You are human."

"You're so kind," Sang Li said with a smile, her eyes shining. "I should learn self-defense."

“You can learn from me.”

"You can?"

"I came from the military, how could I not know how?"

“Ah, I’m only just getting to know you…” Sang Li exclaimed.

Bai Heng gently slid his fingers across the miniature display screen on the anklet, and after adjusting it, he bent down slightly: "I'll put it on for you."

He held her ankle, his fingers warm, transmitting heat through her slightly cool skin.

It's very hot.

Sang Li instinctively pulled her foot back slightly, but quickly calmed down, lying obediently without moving.

Bai Heng's drooping eyelashes cast a light shadow under his eyes, and his slender fingers looked as if he were handling a precious work of art.

The gaze naturally falls on Sang Li's ankles, their slender and soft curves shimmering faintly under the cool medical lights, so delicate that even the tiny blood vessels are faintly visible.

Bai Heng applied slight pressure with his fingertips.

So soft.

Her body temperature was lower than he had imagined, like a piece of warm porcelain.

The anklet was indeed the right color.

The light pink color really suits her fair skin.

Click.

It's buttoned up.

Bai Heng glanced at her face out of the corner of his eye and saw that Sang Li was lying motionless, as quiet as a small animal dependent on its owner: "Try to move around a bit."

Sang Li slowly moved her feet; the anklets didn't feel restrictive at all, but rather quite attractive. "You've really worked hard! If I can earn money in the future, I'll treat you to a meal. Oh, by the way, Lu Jin asked me to assist with the capture mission; he won't refuse to pay me, will he?"

Bai Heng removed the restraints from her wrists and smiled, "I should be paying you a salary. If you don't have enough money, come to me and I'll give you some."

"You're so good to me!" Sang Li sat up and gave Bai Heng a big hug.

Bai Heng stiffened for a moment, then patted Sang Li on the back: "Alright, it's over. The last check at the shelter is complete. Congratulations on regaining your freedom."

She looked at him, her tone tinged with expectation: "Will you come looking for me?"

Bai Heng smiled faintly: "Of course. You can call me anytime if you need anything. If you feel uncomfortable or anything makes you feel unwell, please tell me and I'll come pick you up, okay?"

Sang Li nodded: "You're so nice, incredibly nice. Wait until I make a lot of money to buy you a gift!"

"Okay, I'll wait."

At that moment, the door to the medical room opened.

Lu Jin appeared at the doorway. He was tall and slender, and his dark trench coat made him look even more handsome.

Bai Heng looked at Lu Jin with a gentle expression and nodded slightly as a greeting: "Thank you for coming, Captain Lu."

Lu Jin did not respond, but nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Sang Li for a moment: "Change your clothes, let's go."

Sang Li glanced at Bai Heng and waved her hand, "See you next time."

Bai Heng squinted and smiled.

Lu Jin seemed very impatient: "If you're willing to stay here for the rest of your life, then don't leave."

"You're here." Sang Li wasn't angry and ran to the door.

Hearing Lu Jin's unfriendly tone, Bai Heng also changed his gentle demeanor and said coldly, "Don't forget your promise to the Bureau."

Lu Jin smiled and said, "Take care of the accident at the medical center first. No need for you to worry about it."

The two walked out of the medical room side by side. Bai Heng stood there, watching their backs, his gaze growing colder.

Once Sang Li put on the anklets, she no longer needed to wear the hood or move the metal house.

She looked up at Lu Jin and said, "I haven't finished tidying up my room yet. There are two things I really like that I'd like to take with me. You might have to wait a little while."

Lu Jin lowered his eyes: "No need, let's just get in the car and leave."

Sang Li opened her mouth: "Ah, but I..."

"I had the staff pack it up for you an hour ago and deliver it to my house," Lu Jin said.

Sang Li smiled, her eyes narrowed: "Thank you so much! I didn't realize you were such a nice person."

The two got into the car.

There was no driver.

Lu Jin also disliked the driver.

The car was spacious and comfortable. Sang Li sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window. The street scenes flashed by, and the glass curtain walls of the skyscrapers reflected dappled sunlight.

Lu Jin glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, his hand on the steering wheel, his slender fingers tapping lightly: "What are you looking at?"

"It's been a long time since I've been out. I remember there was a coffee shop there three years ago, and now it's a burger joint. Time flies. There was a small garden restaurant next to the coffee shop, which I really enjoyed eating there. Back then, I had just graduated from university and was looking for a job. I said that if I couldn't find one, I would become a waiter. To be honest, manual labor is not bad. But things are pretty good now. Apart from not having much freedom, my quality of life is still quite good."

The shelter gave her a "cell" that was a two-bedroom apartment with an outdoor balcony featuring an artificial lawn. It had internet access, phone calls, and cooking facilities. The only downside was that she couldn't leave.

To be honest, there's nothing to complain about.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin gave a faint "hmm".

Sang Li suddenly remembered something: "By the way, do I get a salary?"

Although she couldn't go out freely in the shelter, she continued to earn money by taking on drawing jobs online.

You can't work more and earn less money, can you?

Lu Jin: ?

Seeing his expression, Sang Li exclaimed, "Are you trying to take advantage of me for free?!"

Lu Jin frowned: "That's not how you use that word."

Sang Li tilted her head: "Oh, how much is the salary?"

Looking at her smug expression, Lu Jin asked, "You eat my food and live in my house, and you still want money?"

Sang Li: "You brought me out, and I agreed. We've successfully chosen each other, so there should be an employment contract, right? Does the labor bureau handle this?"

Lu Jin narrowed his eyes, unaware that Sang Li was so talkative: "According to the bonuses and dividends for completing the mission, if things go smoothly, the monthly salary will be about 10,000."

Sang Li counted on her fingers for a moment, "A base salary with no performance obligations? Is that legal?"

Lu Jin was so angry he laughed, and his eyelids twitched.

Once Sang Li started talking, she realized she hadn't asked clearly enough, so she insisted, "What about the five social insurances and one housing fund?"

Lu Jin: "The Administration Bureau will cover your living expenses; you don't need social insurance or housing fund contributions."

Sang Li blinked: "The monkey is picking coconuts."

Lu Jin: "What?"

Sang Li: "The monkeys pick coconuts, but we don't even pay them!"

"..."

Lu Jin patiently repeated, "You don't need the housing provident fund, you live in my house, and you won't buy a house."

He felt like he was taking care of a child.

What did you bring home?

Sang Li was dissatisfied. Why couldn't she buy a house with the money she earned?

Abnormal entities can also consume!

Stimulate consumption in response to the national call!

Sang Li retorted, "Why should I live in your house my whole life and then marry me?"

Lu Jin slammed on the brakes and hissed, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Sang Li was startled by him, shrank her neck, and remained silent.

The car stopped in front of an apartment building. The transparent glass curtain wall gleamed under the night lights, like a cold giant.

Sang Li recognized it; it was one of the most expensive large-scale apartments in Shangjing City.

really.

Haha, rich people.

She's starting to resent the rich.

After a long silence, Sang Li stared coldly at Lu Jin: "I understand."

"What?"

"With your wealth, you must not only be taking advantage of us abnormal beings for free, but also pocketing kickbacks! I'm raising prices!"
