"Tomorrow"
As usual, Zhou Xin ate a simple breakfast outside the neighborhood and then hurried to the mental hospital without stopping.
After changing clothes, preparing the patient's breakfast, and delivering it one by one, and after completing the cleaning of the rooms and the patients, Zhou Xin brought Bai Lu and Min Yue to the small park at the back of the hospital.
They had a habit, after finishing their meals in the morning, they had to take them for a walk outside before they would listen to going back to the room. If they didn't let them walk, they could scream loudly and destroy things inside the room.
The small park was filled with many flowers, trees and a small fountain in the middle. After letting go of the two, she finally found a moment of peace.
There weren't many people here; only a few individuals, like Zhou Qin, in the attire of nursing staff, could be seen cleaning around the park or pruning trees.
Zhou Xin found a stone bench and sat down to rest.
But before her butt had a chance to cool, her phone buzzed.
She looked down and saw that someone in the work group had @-ed her: "Nurse Zhou, there's someone looking for you in the lobby."
No choice, Zhou Xin had to call on Bai Lu and Min Yue to join her, and the three of them set off for the main building lobby.
As soon as they entered the gate, a nurse at the front desk waved to call out: "Over here, Zhou Xin. Just got a family member of a patient over, they want to process the discharge."
Discharge procedures?
Zhou Xin, curious, walked up to take a look at the well-prepared form.
His name, Bai Lu, was clearly written on it.
"When did he get a family member?"
In her memory, since she took care of Bai Lu, no one had visited him or brought him some necessities like clothes. Over time, she even thought he was an orphan.
"Hello, my name is Bai Bing, I am the cousin of Bai Lu."
Just as Zhou Xin was bending down to fill out the form, a sudden sound came from behind her.
She turned her head to see a man who looked very muscular, with eyes of the same golden color as Bai Lu's.
To be honest, the inherited iris color of the Bai family is really good. He must be a half-blood.
"You are Zhou Nurse, I've heard about you from the hospital staff. These days, it's been you who has been taking care of Little Lu, and it really troubles you."
Bai Bing smiled, very kind-heartedly, and pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket to hand over: "This is the proof of discharge. All the procedures have been completed. Have a look."
Zhou Xin took it and glanced at it.
The stamp and the signature of the director were all complete.
She nodded and reminded: "You know your cousin's illness, you must follow him when you take him home. Don't fight with him. Don't let him be stimulated. Then I see it says to pick him up in the evening on the form, so I'll handle the subsequent procedures first. You can come later?"
"I know all this. We'll take good care of him."
Seeing no issues, Zhou Xin turned to Bai Lu beside him and said: "From now on, let your cousin take care of you."
"Uncle? Who is this, the new servant of His Royal Highness?"
Bai Lu looked at Bai Bing in confusion for a moment, then quickly showed a look of disdain: "You? You're worthy to be His Royal Highness' servant? Get to a cooler place and stay there."
"I ..."
Bai Bing was just about to say something when suddenly a whoosh sound came from the air.
A half-eaten apple was thrown straight at Bai Bing's face, interrupting his words.
Zhou Xin: ...
The culprit, Min Yue, who caused the incident, was like a monkey possessed at the moment. She was scratching her ears and scratching her face with joy, bouncing up and down.
"I'm truly sorry, Mr. Bai, she is another patient in our hospital. It was not intentional. Please wipe it off."
Zhou Xin quickly tried to act shocked and hurried over to the reception desk to grab some tissues.
"Don't worry."
Bai Bing, who had initially been smiling, now looked stern. He nonchalantly patted the spot on his clothes that had been hit with the apple and looked at Min Yue with his golden eyes for a moment before finally replying in a calm tone, "A sick monkey, I'm not that petty. Thank you, Nurse Zhou. I'll come to pick up Little Lu later tonight."
He turned around and left directly.
Until the other person's back disappeared, Zhou Xin couldn't help but deeply inhale a breath.
This... this person is not normal!
For her own vision, she was still very confident and had been protecting it well.
She was certain.
Just as Min Yue threw the apple, it seemed to land on the other person's chest and fall to the ground. However, from her perspective, the apple never actually touched Bai Bing's clothing.
It seemed to be obstructed and fall from a very close distance to his clothing, but it never actually touched his clothes.
For a moment, Zhou Xin began to doubt her understanding of the world she was living in.
Before she could dwell on her thoughts any longer, a searing sensation of heat surged through her right forearm.
The pain made her bite her teeth and quickly lift up her sleeve to check.
She saw that the time remaining for her death had not changed, and it had already gone from 30 days to 29 days.
But below the original line, there were some different changes.
【Discover Xianyun item, the inscription function is activated. Using inscription can increase life expectancy by 90 days】
Zhou Xin was secretly startled and also somewhat pleased.
For so long since she came to this world, she has been waiting for the countdown every day, unable to do anything about it. That feeling is even harder than being killed.
Now there was a slight change and even increased life.
Could it be because of him?
Zhou Xin's mind immediately flashed to Bai Bing's face, especially the strange scene just now.
So, what are the Xian Yun items?
She still didn't understand all this, but at least it gave her an idea for how to extend her lifespan, which was a weight off her mind.
...
"This person makes the Prince feel sick, so order him to be sent to the Imperial Stable as a horse-keeper."
Not long after the person left, Bai Lu's discontented voice interrupted her thoughts.
Zhou Xin nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes. I will arrange for someone to send him away later."
After speaking, she helplessly rubbed the top of Min Yue's head where she had just caused trouble.
"Alright, let's go to the small garden again. We'll play with Bai Lu one last time."
So, with the idea of being the last one to accompany Bai Lu, Zhou Xin took even more care of the two of them than usual until it was almost six o'clock in the evening and she was preparing to leave for work.
Although he had treated her as a servant since she started working here, taking care of patients with mental illness gave her some fun to add to her otherwise dull life.
Changing her clothes in the changing room, Zhou Qin was ready to go home and rest.
Suddenly.
As she passed by the nursing assistant's desk, the alarm light on the computer screen flashed a red light.
This was a reminder that there was an abnormal situation in a patient's room that needed to be addressed.
Zhou Xin curiously approached to take a closer look.
401?
That's Bai Lu's room, isn't it?
Zhou Xin looked at the computer display again and saw that the time was not long after the nursing assistant on duty had come over, and in a while, Bai Lu's family should be coming to take him out of the hospital.
Had it been any other day, she definitely wouldn't have interfered, as there was no overtime pay.
But thinking about Bai Lu being discharged today, if something happened at this time, it might not be good.
Zhou Xin thought back to today, when Bai Bing appeared, and her arm's pattern changed. After hesitating for a moment, she lightly bit her lip and seemed to have made up her mind.
She looked at the edge of the nursing assistant's desk, where there were baskets with the clean clothes for each patient room today. If the other leaders in the hospital saw that she hadn't left yet, she could say that the clothes haven't been delivered yet, and then leave after they are.
Do as you say!
She immediately picked up the basket and put it on the small cart, then pushed it towards the nearby patient dormitory building.
Countless mist, which was enveloping the dormitory building at this moment.
Zhou Qin still maintained a normal expression, as if she hadn't seen anything, and went in straight.
Soon, the gray mist like a vast abyssal mouth completely enveloped Zhou Xin and disappeared from sight.
...
