After her dramatic cousin stopped acting up, the aloof doctor got anxious.

The night shift is very busy.

Shen Ruo followed her supervising teacher around, administering IV drips, changing dressings, taking blood pressure, and measuring body temperature.

Although she studied nursing, she switched careers after graduation, and her skills became extremely rusty.

The first time she gave a patient an injection, her hands trembled so badly it looked like she had Parkinson's disease, and it took her three attempts to draw blood from the vein.

"Hiss... little girl, are you sure you can handle this?"

The patient was a man in his fifties, who was grimacing as she stabbed him.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Shen Ruo was covered in sweat. After finally getting her IV drip started, she looked up and saw Qi Wenshen standing by the next bed, listening to another patient's heart.

Did he glance at her?

Shen Ruo was unsure.

She was certain that she must be in a terrible state right now.

"Shen Ruo, go to room 302 and change the sheets."

"They're here."

As a result, her high heels twisted, and she fell forward.

"careful."

A pair of hands supported her arms.

Shen Ruo looked up and met Qi Wenshen's eyes.

He walked over at some point and stood beside her, one hand holding her arm, his palm warm.

He frowned slightly, his gaze falling on her feet.

"Wear this to work?"

Shen Ruo followed his gaze to her feet.

"I...I forgot to change my shoes."

You can't exactly say you have no shoes to wear, can you?

She was so embarrassed she wanted to die; she had lost all face from both her past and present lives today.

Qi Wenshen didn't say anything, released her arm, and left.

Shen Ruo stood there, still feeling the heat where he had touched her.

He couldn't help but stomp his foot, thinking, "What a disappointment."

She muttered to herself and limped to room 302.

After changing the sheets, Shen Ruo finally had time to catch her breath.

She sat behind the nurses' station, took off her high heels, and rubbed her aching ankles, feeling like her legs were about to give out.

She grinned, "I'll go buy white flat shoes after get off work, no, I'll go buy them right now, I'll take a day off if I have to."

She was planning to ask the head nurse for leave.

A voice suddenly came from above.

"Shen Ruo."

Shen Ruo looked up.

Qi Wenshen stood in front of her, holding a paper bag in his hand.

"For you."

He shoved the paper bag into her arms, turned and left.

Shen Ruo, "??"

What's going on?

She opened the paper bag, and inside was a pair of white sneakers.

Flat sole, soft sole, the most basic style, but it looks brand new, with the tags still on.

Shen Ruo looked up at Qi Wenshen's back; he had already walked far away.

"What do you mean?"

She looked down at the shoes and remembered his apology when she bumped into him that morning, and how he caught her when she almost fell.

Doesn't the book say that Qi Wenshen is cold-hearted and ruthless, and never cares about anyone?

What is this?

Shen Ruo held the shoes, unable to understand.

It was exactly midnight.

Shen Ruo changed out of her nurse's uniform and felt like her whole body was falling apart.

The night shift is really inhuman.

From 4 p.m. to midnight, eight hours.

She doesn't remember how many times she went to the wards or how many patients she gave injections.

I've been scolded by patients at least five times and warned by Head Nurse Lin three times.

"Shen Ruo, the call bell for bed number three is worn out, where are you?"

"Shen Ruo, the IV line in bed number seven is flowing back into the blood."

"Shen Ruo, you're spacing out again."

She was staring blankly, trying to recall the original owner's memories and figure out what kind of weird book she had transmigrated into.

I skim through the book, so I only get the general idea.

In the end, they didn't figure out anything, except that Nurse Lin's roar was just as powerful as a loudspeaker's.

Now, she's finally off work.

Shen Ruo stood under the streetlights at the hospital entrance, the night wind making her rub her arms.

She took out her phone and called a ride-hailing service. The screen showed: in queue, estimated wait time 15 minutes.

In the dead of night, a young woman waits alone for a ride outside the hospital.

This scene looks a bit like the opening of a horror movie.

Shen Ruo shrank her neck and stood under the streetlight for a while longer.

Just then.

"squeak"

The brakes screech, and a black sports car stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing a smiling face.

"Shen Ruo."

Zhou Ke.

She had changed out of her white lab coat and was wearing a floral shirt with the collar open. Her hair, styled with hair gel, shimmered under the streetlights, making her look like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

"You must be exhausted."

He leaned over, placed his hand on the car window, and smiled gently, "Get in, I'll take you for a late-night snack."

Shen Ruo: "??"

She instinctively took half a step back.

Going out for a late-night snack with a man you've only met twice?

She's not stupid.

"No need, Dr. Zhou, I..."

"Shen Ruo."

Another voice interrupted.

Somber and indifferent.

Shen Ruo froze.

She slowly turned her head.

A black BYD was parked on the side of the road with the window open, and the person in the driver's seat turned to look at her.

It's my cousin, Qi Wenshen.

He looked at Shen Ruo, his eyes slightly cold.

"Get in the car."

This is not a discussion, it's an order.

Shen Ruo: "??"

She glanced to her left and saw Zhou Ke's smiling face.

She glanced to her right at Qi Wenshen's cold face.

Two cars, two men, sandwiching her in the middle, like the cream in a sandwich cookie.

Shen Ruo didn't actually want to get on either of the cars.

She immediately refused, saying, "No need..."

The words haven't even been used yet.

Qi Wenshen glanced at her.

Just one glance.

Her gaze was indifferent, devoid of emotion, yet it carried an undeniable sense of oppression, like a mountain pressing down on her, forcing the rest of her thoughts back into her stomach.

Shen Ruo's mouth moves faster than her brain.

"OK."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she wanted to slap herself.

Shen Ruo, Shen Ruo, what are you afraid of him for?

She was internally screaming, but her body was honestly and hesitantly moving towards the BYD.

Zhou Ke's expression instantly darkened.

He watched Shen Ruo's retreating figure, his fingers tightening around the steering wheel.

He took a liking to Shen Ruo the day she reported to the hospital.

White dress, stiletto heels, waist so thin you could pinch it with one hand, hot figure.

She stood behind the nurses' station organizing medical records, her back slightly bent, her hips taut and firm. From behind, she looked like a ripe peach, waiting to be picked.

Zhou Ke felt a burning sensation all over his body after just one glance.

He'd chased so many women, but he'd never seen one so alluring.

That figure, that face, that bouncy gait when she walks…

He specially changed his car and sprayed perfume tonight, planning to take her out for a late-night snack and some drinks, and then naturally do something else.

Unexpectedly, Qi Wenshen appeared out of nowhere.

Zhou Ke watched as Shen Ruo opened the door of the BYD car, got in, and then looked at Qi Wenshen as he turned his head and glanced at him indifferently.

His eyes were cold, and he nodded.

Then the car window rolled up.

Zhou Ke sat in the car, his chest heaving beneath his floral shirt.

"Qi Wenshen and Shen Ruo were the ones I set my sights on first."

He gritted his teeth, a determined glint in his eyes.

……

The car was very quiet.

It was so quiet that Shen Ruo could hear her own heartbeat.
