Elder brother's garrison

"Hello, uncle!"

"Hello, Admiral Nanxing's father!"

"..."

"Hello, hello." Nanxing's father couldn't hold back any longer. He lowered his head and coughed as he followed the others.

……

Shenzhen hospitals certainly have elevators.

As a result, the foot traffic in the stairwell was extremely low. Xiaobai and his group didn't want to attract too much attention, so they walked up the stairs without encountering anyone along the way.

The hospital had more than ten floors. When everyone went up to the top floor in one go, Xiaobai, Nanxing, and the ship girls didn't react much. They were still breathing normally and had rosy complexions, as if they were taking a walk in a garden. However, Nanxing's mother had returned to the physical condition of an ordinary person. As she followed Xiaobai and the others up the stairs, her breathing became a little rapid as the floors got higher.

As for Nanxing's father, things were even worse.

Nanxing's mother was at least an ordinary human with a certain level of daily exercise, but Nanxing's father, due to his busy work schedule, was a typical modern person who lacked exercise. So when he followed the group to the top floor, he was panting heavily, leaning on the railing, with beads of sweat on his forehead, looking rather disheveled compared to Xiaobai and the others.

“Honey, I told you you need to exercise more.” Nanxing’s mother said to Nanxing’s father. “As for the ship girls, look how good Lu Lin’s physique is, and our girl too, they climbed up without even panting.”

"Ah... um..." Nanxing's father awkwardly wiped his head, his eyes glazed over, as if he had been somewhat shocked.

"Um, Uncle and Aunt, you could actually take the elevator first..." Xiaobai said hesitantly to Nanxing's parents.

"We're already up here, let's do it next time," Nanxing's father said to Xiaobai, wiping the sweat from his brow.

"Since there are so many people here, let's go to the conference room." Nanxing's mother led everyone to the conference room on the top floor, opened the door, and smiled at everyone.

"Is it okay for us outsiders to occupy the meeting room without permission?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"Who's the outsider?" Nanxing's mother looked at Xiaobai with a half-smile.

"I... oh, I don't think so." Xiaobai was about to point to herself, but the next second, she realized that she was actually a nominal professor at Shenzhen Hospital.

"Professor Bai, I think you need to have a clear understanding of your own position." Nanxing's mother smiled and patted Xiaobai's head. "Do you know what it means for someone to achieve enlightenment and even their relatives and friends to benefit from it?"

"what?"

"Since you took your name on our hospital's website, our hospital's reputation has become world-renowned. Not to mention the attending physicians in our department, even your uncle has been promoted several levels by you. You know, these are levels that most people can't achieve even after publishing many papers and working hard for several years. Who is to thank for this? It's all thanks to you."

"Is it... really that amazing...?"

“Let alone a mere conference room,” Nanxing’s mother shook her head. “Even if you wanted to drag us to the dean’s office for a nap, no one in this hospital would dare to stop you.”

"Um... Dean..."

“The dean is Nan Zhaohe, your uncle’s father, and Nanxing’s grandfather,” Nanxing’s mother said with a smile. “But as you know, he seems to have been away these days, as if he’s taken on some special mission.”

“…I understand.” Xiaobai scratched his cheek and nodded.

In short, it means... you can use this meeting room without worry, right?

Xiao Bai walked into the conference room.

As expected of a major hospital, the meeting room is quite well-equipped. It's more like a small projection room than a meeting room, and even the seats below aren't hard seats, but rows of sofas.

"Sit wherever you like, make yourself at home," Nanxing's mother said with a smile to the ship girls. "The projector can play some movies and videos. There's no password, so feel free to use it."

"Thank you, aunt!"

Upon hearing this, the ship girls immediately expressed their gratitude to Mother Nanxing.

"Don't thank me, this is the honor your admiral won for you." Nanxing's mother shook her head.

"Thank you, Admiral!" The ship girls immediately turned around and thanked Xiaobai again.

"Please let me go..." Xiaobai smiled.

After the ship girls entered the conference room, they all sat on the sofas and lay down comfortably.

Upon hearing this, Iowa walked to the front desk, bent down and operated the computer under the projector, logged into the online video website, selected a movie episode, and started playing it.

Immediately, the entire conference room was filled with acoustic effects.

"This conference room is so high-class," Xiaobai said to Nanxing's mother.

"Really? This is the first time I've seen someone use the equipment here to play a movie." Nanxing's mother smiled.

"Ah... I feel kind of embarrassed." Xiaobai scratched his head.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Let your ship girl stay here for a while, and we'll go see the patient," Nanxing's mother said to Xiaobai.

"Mm." Xiaobai glanced at the ship girls in the conference room and nodded happily.

Xiaobai really didn't want to bring too many ship girls to the patient's room—after all, the ship girls were too beautiful and attracted too much attention wherever they went. It was fine when they were walking on the street, but if they had to bring the ship girls to the doctor, she felt that it was a little unserious. It was good that Nanxing's mother could find a place for the ship girls to relax.

"Honey, you stay in the conference room and greet Lu Lin's ship girl. Your dad and I will take her to the Deep Sea Science Center first," Nanxing's mother said to Nanxing.

"Okay." Nanxing nodded.

"Hmm? So decisive." Nanxing's mother was a little surprised. "I thought you didn't like being with strangers."

“They are not…” Nanxing lowered her head.

"..." Nanxing's mother didn't speak. She looked at Nanxing, her gaze softening. Then she nodded, took Xiaobai's hand, and said, "Let's go."

"Sister Nanxing, I'll be right back!" Xiaobai waved to Nanxing.

"Okay." Nanxing raised his hand and waved to Xiaobai, his gaze as firm as a statue facing the sea.

Xiao Bai and Nan Xing's parents left the rooftop.

This time, with the ship girls around her gone, Xiaobai was finally able to ride the elevator with Nanxing's parents. Looking at Nanxing's father's pale face, which hadn't recovered yet, she couldn't help but feel worried for him.

"It seems that Nanxing really likes you," Nanxing's mother said to Xiaobai in the elevator.

"Huh? Um... I like Sister Nanxing too." Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then she realized what she meant and smiled and nodded at Nanxing's mother.

"Okay, okay." Nanxing's mother gently rubbed Xiaobai's head, her expression tender and slightly doting.

Nanxing's father looked at Xiaobai, hesitant to speak, but then closed his mouth and rubbed his temples with his fingertips.

The elevator arrived at the destination quickly.

"Auntie, how is the patient doing this time?" As the three of them stepped out of the elevator, Xiaobai looked up and asked the two people beside her.

“This situation is relatively less serious, although we still can’t handle it with our capabilities… but it’s much better than the two cases you handled before,” Nanxing’s father said, adding at the end, “It’s visibly much better.”

"Oh……"

Xiao Bai nodded subconsciously.

Nanxing's parents led Xiaobai into the Deep Sea Infectious Disease Department. As they walked along the nursing floor, nurses came and went in and out of the various wards. When they saw Nanxing's parents, they all politely and respectfully stopped what they were doing and bowed slightly to the three of them.

Enjoying the nurses' silent respect, Xiaobai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and glance at Nanxing's parents beside her.

When Nanxing's parents were in front of her, they always acted kind and gentle, like kind and interesting elders. But in front of these nurses, they became dignified and serious, just like high-level business people who were always busy with business and had an imposing presence.

Chapter 3676 Luckily I didn't go

This was the first time Xiaobai had ever seen Nanxing's parents looking so serious while they were working.

Seemingly sensing Xiaobai's gaze, Nanxing's mother, with a stern face, turned her head and looked down to meet Xiaobai's eyes.

Suddenly.

Like a fleeting glimpse of a night-blooming cereus.

Nanxing's mother smiled gently at Xiaobai.

Immediately afterward, the smile vanished, and she looked up again, her expression turning serious.

While Xiaobai was still in a daze, he suddenly heard a soft gasp coming from the corridor around him.

Then Xiaobai's ears twitched, and she heard the nurses not far away huddled together with surprised expressions, whispering in Xiaobai's direction.

"Wow... I saw the head nurse smile..."

"Yeah...I thought she couldn't smile..."

"My God, who is this girl? Could she be the head nurse's illegitimate daughter...?"

"Shh!"

A nurse had just uttered some outrageous remarks when someone else covered her mouth.

Xiao Bai looked away somewhat awkwardly and smiled.

It seems the nurses here aren't very familiar with Nanxing's mother...

So Nanxing's parents are quite serious when they're working... They're usually so kind and gentle when they're with me...

Ok……

As Xiaobai thought about it, she followed Nanxing's parents up the stairs to the nursing floor, which was a higher floor.

As soon as Xiaobai entered this nursing floor, she sensed the faint scent of the deep sea in the air. She looked up, felt it for a moment, and then smiled slightly.

"It's definitely much better," Xiaobai said.

"Hmm?" Nanxing's parents turned to look at Xiaobai. "What's better?"

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing," Xiaobai smiled.

Xiao Bai still clearly remembers the concentration of the deep-sea atmosphere in the air when he last came here.

This time, when Xiaobai revisited the place, she could clearly sense that although the deep-sea scent in the air still lingered, it was much thinner than the previous two times.

This means that the patients remaining on this floor are not nearly as ill as they were last time.

Xiao Bai walked with Nan Xing's parents without worry.

The decor on this floor was no different from the floor below, but the nurses lingering here looked much more capable. Nanxing's parents led Xiaobai to a closed ward and looked at Xiaobai.

"Professor Bai, it's right here."

"Here?" Xiaobai asked.

“That’s right. This patient was transferred from another hospital yesterday. After examining him, we found that he was really difficult to treat, so we had no choice but to call you.” Nanxing’s mother said apologetically, “We’re troubling you again.”

"That doesn't matter..."

Xiaobai waved her hand, calmed herself down, sensed the presence on the other side through the door, then nodded and pushed open the door.

When Xiaobai entered the ward, there was only one person lying on the bed in the huge room.

The patient was a male student in his teens. He was on an IV drip and connected to a ventilator. He was pale, had weak eyes, and was breathing slowly. He looked like he was terminally ill.

Although he did look rather miserable, Xiaobai inexplicably felt that he was healthy again once he thought about how he was a heavily infected person with deep-sea aura.

Of all the "severely infected" people Xiaobai had ever seen, the one in front of him seemed to be the healthiest.

“Because it’s a severely infected person, and considering your previous treatment methods, I’ve asked the patient’s family to wait in the rest area first.” Nanxing’s mother closed the door and said to Xiaobai, “Also… this patient’s condition is relatively stable, and he is still conscious to a certain extent, so we need to be careful later.”

"Hmm." Xiaobai nodded, walked to the bedside, and looked at the patient on the bed.

The patient's eyes met Xiaobai's.

Xiao Bai could clearly see some fluctuations in the other person's eyes. Although these changes in eyes were particularly weak and feeble, it was certain that the patient was conscious.

"Hello." Xiaobai reached out and gently covered the patient's eyes. "You must be feeling quite uncomfortable. Lie down and you'll feel better when you wake up."

Xiao Bai spoke softly, raising her hand.

After Xiaobai raised her hand, the patient slowly closed her eyes and her breathing became even and steady.

"Hmm? Doctor Bai can also hypnotize?" Nanxing's mother looked at the patient with some surprise and asked Xiaobai.

"Nah."

"Is that acupuncture?" Nanxing's mother asked again, rubbing her shoulders as if she remembered something, her expression suddenly becoming strange. "Hmm... it seems you know something about acupoints."

"Well, no, not really..." Xiaobai smiled sheepishly. "I just think he's tired, so I let him sleep."

"This patient is not feeling well..."

"Maybe I'm just too tired," Xiaobai said with a smile, glancing at her palm.

— Xiaobai only used some mental energy just now.

Logically speaking, Xiaobai's mental power has almost zero influence on humans who haven't activated the Admiral Network. Even before, Xiaobai could only influence human emotions to a certain extent with her enormous mental power. As for controlling others to sleep or wake up... that's something Xiaobai can only do with ship girls and admirals with the network, not with humans.

However... during several treatments, Xiaobai gradually discovered that when humans were infected by the aura of the deep sea to a certain extent, even without activating the Admiral Network, Xiaobai's mental power could still have some decent effects on them.

Although the underlying principle is unclear.

She can at least put an insomniac to sleep.
