Chapter 23
Su Yin smiled happily.
Who cares whether it’s listed as your name or not, just do it.
She loosened her grip in a very contractual manner, and the wrinkled black sleeve quickly retracted to her wrist, like a black flower, embellishing her cold white skin.
Xie Lingxu stared at that place for a while, lifted up the corner of his clothes, rolled up the unsightly wrinkles, and revealed a strong forearm.
The forearm was very eye-catching against the black background. Su Yin took a few more glances at it curiously. This man usually buttoned his collar to the top when he wore clothes. It was rare that he showed his flesh.
Before she could take a third look, she saw him walk back to the yard and slam the gate shut, completely blocking her view.
Suyin:?
What's wrong? Is there a piece of flesh that will fall off?
mean.
To be fair, Xie Lingxu's muscles are well-developed. They are thin with smooth lines. They are neither too weak nor too muscular. Everything is just right, pleasing to the eye and practical.
But his anti-theft attitude made Su Yin pursed her lips, unable to understand how such a time and space where people were open about clothing could produce such a person with such a strange personality.
She was lost in thought for a while, and the nurse called out softly, "Young Master, do you want to go back?"
Su Yin quickly put aside the messy thoughts in her mind and said, "No hurry, let's walk a little longer."
The plan to take over the sanatorium has successfully taken the first step, but this alone is not enough. We also have to win over the hearts and minds of the people. There is still a long way to go.
She walked around the entire sanatorium and strolled to the vicinity of Courtyard No. 1, which she had never been to before.
The yard is the same yard, but the plants planted around it are different. They are all tall trees that surround the entire yard, like an invisible barrier protecting the people inside.
There were no bodyguards at the door, but the gate was locked and the door had been replaced. The original decorative fence-like door had become a tight iron door with no gaps, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was going on inside.
Su Yin stopped and looked at the gate for a long time.
After being here for so long, the only people in Courtyard No. 1 that she hasn't seen are the ones she hasn't even heard a word about.
She asked, "What's going on in Courtyard No. 1?"
The young nurse shook her head. "I've never seen any patients from Hospital No. 1 since I started working here. Their attending physician is also very secretive and never discusses anything related to the patients with anyone."
"So mysterious." Su Yin stroked his chin and became interested.
They have been together for some time, and the young nurse immediately understood what she was thinking from her expression, and now this situation is particularly familiar to her.
Thinking about the patient that the young master was interested in last time...
Without her knowledge, the patient's assistant sent her an apology gift the next day.
To this day she still doesn’t know what happened that night :)
The young nurse kept smiling and tried to persuade him, "Young Master, it is rumored that the patient in Courtyard One is the most seriously ill in the entire sanatorium."
"Is it heavier than the one in Courtyard No. 2?"
"I heard that's the case."
Su Yin's eyes lit up. If someone could be crazier than that person, she would have to go and see for herself.
This reaction...
The result was counterproductive. The young head nurse took a breath and continued to try: "Young Sect Master, although there is no record of violent patients in the hospital, the situation of this patient here is a mystery. What if he suddenly becomes violent after seeing an outsider?"
"That's easy."
Su Yin waved her hands, looking relaxed, "Just knock him down."
The young nurse's smile was stiff.
The attempt failed.
She looked at the young master who was rubbing his hands and eager to try, and felt worried.
What if I can’t win and suffer a loss?
In this case, should the attending physician be notified?
The current attending physician is no longer the useless bald man before.
Thinking of her current attending physician, the young nurse's anxious heart was instantly calmed, and she secretly sent a text message to the dean with her hands behind her back.
With the dean watching, nothing should happen.
It happened to be Dabai's strolling time, and the iron lock clicked, and the door opened a crack.
The dog came out first. The narrow gap was barely big enough for its huge body to pass through, and its fluffy fur was squeezed into a mess.
Dabai had a silly smile on his face. As soon as he came out, he saw Suyin not far away. His eyes lit up and he rushed towards her with his tongue wagging.
The doctor who was holding the dog leash was caught off guard and was pulled by the sudden rush, staggering and about to fall into the door.
Without hesitation, he let go of the dog leash in his hand, determined to protect the gap in the door that prevented anyone from seeing what was going on inside.
The unbridled Samoyed was like a mountain, its tail wagging wildly. It pounced forward in a few steps and was about to knock Su Yin down.
The young nurse's heart was in her throat. Her young master was so thin that he could not withstand the pressure of a hundred-pound dog.
She turned around and dodged easily, leaving Dabai with nothing.
Seeing the young nurse's nervous face, she raised her chin proudly and said, "Why worry? I'm a good fighter."
Young Nurse: ...
Although...but...
Well, it seems that the young master has never suffered any loss.
Her heart settled back into her stomach.
At the hospital gate, the doctor carefully squeezed out from the crack of the door. Without having time to look for the dog, he closed the door and locked it with a key, just like a thief.
When he looked up, he saw Dabai sitting on the ground, wagging his tail at a familiar face.
"It's you."
Thinking of the patient's identity, he changed his address to a more formal one. "Hello, I'm the attending physician at Hospital No. 1. My last name is Zhang."
Su Yin had a good impression of this person and nodded at him, "Doctor Zhang."
"Just call me Xiao Zhang." Xiao Zhang is very young and just graduated not long ago. His worries are written all over his face.
He was very polite, his expression relaxed, the word "alert" practically etched on his forehead. "What's the matter with the patient?"
"I just happened to walk here."
Su Yin's eyes circled around the gate of Courtyard No. 1 and she saw that his expression became more alert.
She tilted her head: "Why, you won't let me go?"
Xiao Zhang picked up the leash again and struggled to pull the dog back to his side. Finally, he blocked the door with his body and said, "No, no, please."
Young Nurse: ...
This colleague really can't hide anything.
Su Yin did not alert the enemy, but just gave Xiao Zhang a mysterious smile.
The word "alert" on his forehead became bigger.
The sound of steady footsteps broke the strange balance between them.
"Dean?"
Xiao Zhang met the director three times in total after being admitted to the hospital. The first time was when he was completing his on-the-job registration and the director happened to pass by the medical building. The second time was when he was walking the dog last time, and the third time was this time.
In the next two episodes, the dean appeared with the patients of Courtyard No. 3.
He always felt as if he had noticed something extraordinary.
Xie Lingxu quickly scanned the entire room, but nothing had happened that required his intervention. Finally, his gaze fell on Su Yin, who was pretending to be well behaved.
In front of Xiao Zhang, no one mentioned Su Yin's little thoughts about the patients in Yard No. 1.
He said, "Patient, it's time to go back and take your medicine."
Su Yin turned her head and immediately threw everything else out of her mind. "I don't want to go back. I don't want to eat."
In the past, the young nurse would give her the medicine, but Su Yin would send her away and pour it out, or pretend to take it and then spit it out, and no pill would ever make it into her stomach.
She knows best whether she is sick or not, so why would she take medicine if she is not sick?
Xie Lingxu repeated: "Patient, take your medicine on time."
Su Yin: "Why do you care if I take medicine?"
“That’s the attending physician’s responsibility.”
He said in a calm tone, "Or maybe the patient doesn't really want me to be his attending physician, and all those words before were just jokes?"
Suyin: ...
Why does this sound so familiar?
He continued: "Since the patient doesn't need..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Yin interrupted him, "Yes, I really need it, okay!"
How could this man be such a scoundrel? She gritted her teeth, feeling uncomfortable.
Compared to her, Xie Lingxu seemed exceptionally calm. "In that case, come back with me."
"I'll come back if I want."
Su Yin said unhappily.
Almost the moment this response came out, the man in black on the side of the road turned and walked away, not caring whether she listened or not.
Su Yin looked at the man's back and her teeth started to itch again. This man's ability to annoy people was no less than that bastard's.
I was angry, but there was no other way. I had to follow him. The attending doctor I had finally found couldn't just run away like that.
She realized it later and felt like she had gotten herself into big trouble.
The two people disappeared around the corner, one in front and one behind.
The young nurse looked at this scene and smiled with relief. It turned out that finding the dean was the best solution.
Xiao Zhang had been holding the dog and peeping at the screen. When the two parties were gone, he slipped over to the nurse and asked quietly, "Is the dean the attending physician for the patients in Hospital No. 3?!"
The young nurse whispered back, "Yes, I just took office today."
Xiao Zhang:!
She put her hand to her lips and made a hushed gesture, "Shh."
…
When they reached a deserted path, Xie Lingxu asked, "Do you want to see the patient in Courtyard No. 1?"
Su Yin spread his hands and said frankly, "I haven't seen it before. I'm just curious."
"Have you seen it? What disease?"
"No," Xie Lingxu recounted calmly, "The patients in Courtyard No. 1 don't want to see anyone. Only the attending physician is allowed to set foot in the entire courtyard."
She asked, "You can't do it either?"
Xie Lingxu: ...
"OK."
"I don't want to see anyone, but you can... Xie Lingxu, she doesn't treat you as a human being."
he:?
Su Yin had no intention of provoking him, she simply said it out loud. Seeing his unhappy expression, she immediately changed the subject. "Since you're willing, then take me to see it. I promise I'll just take a look and nothing else."
To add credibility, she raised her hand and made an oath gesture, as sincere as possible.
In those eyes that sparkled with anticipation, Xie Lingxu ruthlessly spat out two words, "No."
Su Yin's face immediately deflated, "You can't do it?"
The person next to her suddenly stopped and turned to look at her. "The patient seems to like saying this word?"
Su Yin uttered an "ah", not understanding why he was focusing on this.
He seemed to have just mentioned it casually, quickly looking away, and strode away, leaving her behind.
?
Su Yin looked puzzled and muttered softly, "What do you mean by like or dislike? No means no, and I'm not happy to hear it."
So hard to please.
After returning to the yard, Xie Lingxu disappeared. Su Yin thought that what he said about taking medicine was just an excuse, but she didn't expect that this person would appear again after dinner.
She held her chin and looked at him, with a clear question on her face.
What are you here for?
Xie Ling's preface is concise and to the point: "Take medicine."
"Do you really want to eat it?"
He looked at her.
What else?
Su Yin let out a long breath and simply turned around, believing out of sight, out of mind.
After two seconds, there was still no movement behind her, so she turned back.
The man stood at the counter, intently studying the instructions on the bottles, one after another. His tall figure blocked out much of the light, illuminating only the writing. The hands gripping the bottles were long and articulated, with faint veins visible beneath the skin.
His eyelashes were very long, and the light from above illuminated them. When he lowered his eyes to read the instructions, shadows were cast on his cold white skin, reflecting a dark color. Even his cold eyes became even deeper, giving her a feeling of...
"Bad intentions!"
Xie Lingxu: “?”
Su Yin sincerely doubted: "You are not going to poison me, are you?"
He put down the medicine bottle and said calmly, "It's poisoned, are you still going to eat it?"
"eat."
If he said there was no poison, she might still hesitate, but this man was so frank in front of her, she knew it was a lie as soon as she heard it, and there was nothing wrong with the medicine.
Xie Lingxu didn't put many medicines on the plate, just two tablets, and Su Yin swallowed them with water.
The medicine here is pretty good. Each pill is small and tasteless, unlike the bitter soups they have over there.
She yawned, ignored the man by the counter, and went back to bed after washing up.
When the young nurse came over, it was completely dark. She walked up to Xie Lingxu with a recording board.
Although recording medications was the attending physician's job, the nurse was used to it. Even now that the director had taken over, everything remained the same. She followed the rules and asked, "Director, what medication did you just use?"
Xie Lingxu didn't hide it and took out a bottle from the bottles and jars on the island counter. "Sleeping pills."
The young nurse paused while recording and asked doubtfully, "But the Young Master doesn't seem to have any sleep problems."
"Did you know she'd be out tonight?"
The young nurse knew this all too well, and she had a hunch that the dean was referring to more than just the incident at Courtyard No. 2, so she quickly changed the subject, "Young Sect Master really should get some rest."
Xie Lingxu said nothing, lowered his head, collected all the remaining medicines on the table, placed them in the medicine box, and finally handed them to the young nurse.
The young nurse answered the phone, but looked puzzled.
He didn't explain, only saying, "She doesn't need any other medicine in her current condition."
The condition of the young master has become so stable!
Although she was surprised, the young nurse completely trusted the director's diagnosis and took the medicine box away neatly.
When she put the things back to the medical building and came back, the dean was still in the living room. Even without turning on the lights, the unignorable aura emanating from his body made him very conspicuous in the dark.
The young nurse hesitated: "You?"
Xie Lingxu raised his eyelids slightly and said casually, "Room check."
"oh oh."
The predecessor was irresponsible and the young nurse had no experience in this matter, but she was also impressed by the director's seriousness.
Unless there were any emergencies, it was already time to get off work. She waved to the dean and said, "Then, dean, I'm leaving first."
Xie Lingxu nodded.
The little nurse's brisk footsteps gradually faded away.
She left with peace of mind and naturally did not notice that the extremely responsible dean in her mind had stepped into Su Yin's bedroom in an unruly and dignified manner.
There was only a layer of gauze drawn over the floor-to-ceiling window, and the moonlight shone through the gauze onto the bed. The sleeping pills took effect, and the man slept soundly, his whole body sunk into the soft bed, his brows relaxed.
Xie Lingxu walked closer to the bed step by step, looking down at the person on the bed with a cold gaze that faintly revealed a hint of murderous intent.
His eyes lingered on the slender neck.
Just apply a little force in this place and the person will disappear completely.
The emotion called hatred overrides reason and drives the action first. When reason returns, the hand has already touched the warm skin, and the weak pulse is beating at the fingertips.
His hands were so cold that the man involuntarily shrank his neck.
Originally it was just a small touch of the fingertips, but when she moved, the soft flesh on her face inevitably touched the pads and backs of Xie Lingxu's fingers, as if burned, and the hand bounced away instantly.
It bounced away, then froze, suspended in mid-air, less than three inches away from the man.
The warm and soothing breath brushed against the cold skin, causing a physiological tremor. The fingers curled up uncontrollably, paused, and finally retracted.
Xie Lingxu closed his eyes slightly, his hands hanging at his sides clenched into fists, veins bulging.
After a long time, the shadow beside the bed strode away without leaving a trace.
The person on the bed knew nothing about this. He smacked his lips, turned over, buried himself in the warm quilt, and continued to sleep soundly.
