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

When Qi Wenshen carried Shen Ruo out of the bathroom, Shen Ruo was too tired to move.

Her head rested on his shoulder, her eyelids drooping, and she mumbled something indistinctly. Qi Wenshen didn't hear her clearly, and when he looked down, she had already closed her eyes.

He put her on the bed, covered her with the blanket, and got up to turn off the light.

Just as I stood up, someone tugged at the hem of my clothes.

Shen Ruo closed her eyes, her fingers gripping the hem of his T-shirt, which would loosen as soon as he took a step.

He stood by the bed for two seconds, turned off the light, and lay back down.

Shen Ruo automatically snuggled up to him, resting her head on his shoulder, and slept soundly.

Qi Wenshen lay awake in the darkness, listening to her breathing, before finally falling asleep after a long time.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but a certain part of his body started to get restless again.

Shen Ruo rolled over in his arms and rubbed against him, and that fire flared up again.

Shen Ruo was still half asleep, her eyes not even open, but she was already complaining.

What are you doing?

Her voice was soft and sweet.

He didn't answer, but lowered his head and kissed her.

Shen Ruo was half-asleep from his kisses, her body reacting before her mind, softly pressing against him, letting him do as he pleased.

After going through it again, she was fully awake and clearly felt the soreness in her wrist.

She lay on the pillow and said coquettishly, "I won't even be able to hold a syringe properly tomorrow."

The man's voice was deep, "Then please take leave."

Shen Ruo turned over in anger and glared at him, but unfortunately he couldn't see her rolling her eyes in the darkness.

"I'm still an intern, it's not good to keep taking leave."

After saying that, she turned back over and buried her face in the pillow.

"There's a place for you to relieve yourself, but you insist on using your hands. You're a pervert."

Qi Wenshen did not speak.

He pulled her into his arms.

His chin rested on the top of her head, and the vibrations of his chest transmitted through her back, steady and powerful.

After a while, Shen Ruo nudged his arm, "Go back to your own room."

"Wait until dawn before you leave."

"My aunt will see."

Shen Ruo's voice sounded like a kitten whimpering.

"No, go to sleep."

Qi Wenshen tightened his grip on her arm.

Shen Ruo was so tired that her eyelids were so heavy she could barely lift them.

When I closed my eyes and opened them again, it was already daylight. The seat next to me was empty, and the dent in the pillow was still there, but it was cold. It must have left a long time ago.

Shen Ruo lay on the bed for a while, then rolled over and got out of bed.

When she brushed her teeth in front of the mirror, she saw that her lips were still swollen and there were two faint red marks on her collarbone. It took her a long time to cover them up with concealer.

When Shen Ruo arrived at the nurses' station, she changed into her nurse's uniform and bumped into Zhou Lan as she walked out of the changing room.

Zhou Lan is acting strangely today.

Shen Ruo couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Her eyes were watery, and her lips were rosy.

When walking, his steps were half the size of usual, and he would pause slightly after every two steps, as if he was enduring something.

Shen Ruo's gaze fell on her feet.

She wore flat shoes today; she usually wears shoes with a slight heel. Even though she changed to flats today, she still walked with a limp.

A scene flashed through Shen Ruo's mind: she walked like this when Qi Wenshen carried her out of the bathroom that night.

Her face flushed red, and she quickly looked away.

Head Nurse Lin started calling roll, and Shen Ruo didn't have time to chat with Zhou Lan.

Mornings are busy. We need to make rounds to hospitalized patients, give injections to patients receiving IV drips, process discharge procedures for discharged patients, and arrange beds for newly admitted patients.

There was a small problem with Chen Lele. The azithromycin drip was administered too quickly, and the little girl complained of stomach pain. Shen Ruo rushed over, slowed down the drip rate, and then squatted down to talk to her for a while.

Lele reached out her little hand and grabbed Shen Ruo's nurse's uniform, looking up at her and saying, "Nurse, you're so nice."

Shen Ruo pinched her little nose. "If you take your medicine and get your injections obediently, you'll get better soon and be discharged from the hospital. That would be the best way to thank you."

Lele nodded vigorously, "I'm very obedient."

After leaving Lele's ward, Shen Ruo didn't go back to the nurses' station, but turned around and walked towards the administration building.

Wei Jing's office is at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

Shen Ruo knocked twice, and a lazy voice came from inside, "Come in."

Wei Jing smiled when he saw it was her.

"They're here."

Wei Jing didn't say anything, but opened the drawer, took out a form, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.

Shen Ruo reached out to take it, but his fingers didn't loosen, pressing on the other end of the form, as he looked up at her.

"I've already spoken to the medical affairs department. You can take your family member there and go directly to Section Chief Liu. Just tell them I sent you. You don't need to wait in line. Once you fill out the form and I sign it, I'll expedite the process for you."

Shen Ruo took the form, glanced at it, and then smiled slightly as she looked up. "Thank you, Vice Dean Wei."

Wei Jing's smile was one of relief.

"You're welcome, go ahead and get busy."

When Shen Ruo returned to Lele's ward with the application form, Lele's mother was sitting by the bed wiping Lele's hands.

The little girl was asleep, with an IV drip in her thin wrist. Her complexion was still not good, but her breathing was more stable than it had been a couple of days ago.

"Lele's mom."

Shen Ruo squatted down by the bed, her voice soft.

Lele's mother turned her head, her eyes still red.

The attending physician just came to check on Lele and said that although Lele's condition has stabilized, the recovery period for mycoplasma pneumonia is long, and she will need to stay in the hospital for at least another week.

The issue of hospital fees has been weighing on her chest like a stone, weighing on her since morning.

Please fill this out.

Shen Ruo handed over the application form, sat down next to her, and explained each item on the form. "This is the hospital's medical assistance application form, which is specifically for families like Lele's who have difficulty paying for hospitalization. Once approved, it can subsidize a portion of the costs. Although it's not much, it's better than nothing."

Lele's mother looked down at the chart, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Nurse Shen, thank you, thank you..."

Lele's mother's voice was choked with sobs, and she could barely speak.

"I...I don't know anything. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know this existed..."

Shen Ruo took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to her, "Don't cry, don't cry. Fill out the form first, and I'll help you with the process so it'll be faster."

Lele's mother took the tissue and wiped her eyes, taking several deep breaths to calm herself down.

Shen Ruo taught her to fill in the form one by one: hospital number, diagnosis, family situation, and income certificate.

If you don't have proof of income, write an explanation.

Lele's mother said, "I don't know how to write this."

Shen Ruo said, "I'll write it for you."

After I finished writing it, I read it to her and made sure it was correct before filling in the next item.

After filling out the form, Shen Ruo took Lele's mother to the administration building again.

Wei Jing gave the order, and all the windows were opened to the green light.

After reviewing the materials, stamping and signing them, and submitting the forms for filing, Lele's mother followed behind her, watching her explain the situation to the staff at each window.

I feel very fortunate to have met such a kind nurse.
