Hello, I am Zhou Xin, the newly assigned nurse. From now on, I will be taking care of you!
Zhou Qi still knocked on the door of room 410, after all, that is her job.
However, it exceeded Zhou Xin's expectations.
In room 410, there were not just patients staying there.
Besides the female patients wearing blue and white hospital gowns, there was also a tall and handsome man in a black suit standing by their side.
The man's suit was obviously tailored by hand, perfectly fitting the man's body that could rival that of a model.
The man's appearance was not as perfect as Bai Lu's, but he was also a rare handsome guy.
It has a distinct style of male butler from anime!
"Are you...Mr. Lu Jianian?"
Zhou Qi flipped through the medical record in her hand.
According to the medical record, the patient staying here is a girl named Lu Niangui, who is 14 years old, and she has schizophrenia.
This is commonly known as dissociative identity disorder.
The one who handled the registration for Lu Niangui was her brother, Lu Jianian.
"Yes, I am Lu Jianian, her brother."
Lu Jianian nodded at Zhou Qi.
After that, Lu Jianian turned his attention to Lu Niangui.
"Since your caregiver has arrived, I will leave first, see you later."
Without waiting for Lu Niangui to respond, Lu Jianian, with his long legs and a graceful stride, casually walked away from Zhou Qi's side.
Clunk.
Even after the door to the ward was casually closed, Zhou Qi was still in a somewhat dazed state.
Why was the attitude of the patient's relatives so casual?
Shouldn't he take the time to get to know the patient's condition more thoroughly?
Does he just trust this newly assigned nurse?
It seems that he doesn't care about his own sister at all.
Shaking her head to dismiss the useless thoughts, Zhou Qi showed a kind smile towards Lu Niangui on the hospital bed.
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Zhou Qi. From today onwards, I will be your exclusive nurse."
"Hmm."
Lu Niangui's response was muffled.
As if she didn't really care about Zhou Qi's arrival.
Zhou Qi wasn't surprised by this.
If the patients in a mental hospital didn't have some quirky traits, they wouldn't end up in a mental hospital in the first place.
"Then let me help you change your clothes. Based on your medical record, it seems like you haven't changed your clothes for three consecutive days."
Staring closely at Lu Niangui, Zhou Qi suddenly realized that the little girl looked incredibly cute.
With a waterfall of black hair and a delicate, dainty face, she looked like a porcelain doll.
However, the look in her eyes seemed to have seen all the ups and downs of the world, looking like a stagnant pond without any vitality.
"Hmm."
Lu Niangui didn't even glance at Zhou Qi, still responding in a subdued manner.
Zhou Qi may have found it strange, but she still approached her job with seriousness.
Even when it came to changing intimate clothing like undergarments, Lu Niangui showed no reaction at all.
If it weren't for Zhou Qi being able to feel Lu Niangui's breath, she might have thought she was taking care of a dead person!
It's quite strange.
With an odd mood, Zhou Qi completed her first nursing for Lu Niangui.
"That's all for today. I'll come by as usual for the night check."
Zhou Qi smiled at Lu Niangui once again.
"Don't come by in the evening."
It turned out that this sentence triggered some kind of keyword, and it was the first time Lu Niangui had spoken.
"Why?"
Zhou Qi was curious and asked.
But after Lu Niangui said this, she once again went into a state where she seemed to want no company, showing no intention of explaining.
This left Zhou Qi unsure of what to do next. Should she continue the conversation or leave?
In a silence that lasted for a while, Zhou Qi finally surrendered.
How could she compete with a mental patient in terms of persistence?
Not at all!
Thinking about it, Zhou Qi also stopped hesitating, turned around and left happily.
Looking at Zhou Qi's back as she left, Lu Niangui turned her head back to stare at the ceiling again.
Outside room 410.
Zhou Qi had just stepped out of the ward when she was startled by Lu Jianian standing at the door.
"Scared!"
Zhou Qi took a step back, her body pressed against the wall, and unconsciously assumed a defensive posture.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I accidentally scared you!"
Lu Jianian took a step back as well, moving away from Zhou Qi, and then bowed slightly to her.
This set of actions flowed smoothly, displaying the owner's high temperament.
"Oh, no, it's alright!"
Zhou Qi had never been apologized to so solemnly and bowed to by someone before, especially by a handsome man, which made her feel somewhat at a loss.
Lu Jianian had no idea about this, seeing Zhou Qi accept his apology, he smiled and continued,
"I apologize for my abrupt behavior. However, I have some questions that I would like to ask the nurse, which is why I acted so impolitely. Please forgive me."
"You don't have to be so formal. Answering the questions of family members is part of our job. Just ask whatever you need."
Zhou Qi's tone became respectful as well when she suddenly encountered someone who was polite.
Otherwise, according to Zhou Qi's usual easy-going personality, she would never be this humble.
Then Lu Jianian inquired about Lu Niangui's condition.
Just as the topic deepened, Zhou Qi suddenly felt an extremely strange feeling.
Zhou Qi wasn't sure if it was her illusion, but she felt that in front of her, Lu Jianian, from his words and actions, didn't really want Lu Niangui to be cured. It seemed he wanted Lu Niangui to stay here forever.
That's very odd!
So strange! So unlike a normal family member.
Especially this man's identity is Lu Niangui's brother!
Wait, brother?
Zhou Qi suddenly remembered the existence of Bai Lu's brother, Bai Bing.
When handling Bai Lu's discharge, Bai Bing seemed to have used the identity of cousin to do so.
And who would have thought that Bai Bing, this so-called cousin who was actually his half-brother, came here with the purpose of capturing Bai Lu.
This isn't what family is supposed to be! They're clearly enemies!
Could it be that Lu Jianian and Lu Niangui have a relationship like this too?
Zhou Qi immediately paid close attention, doing her best to not let Lu Jianian succeed in his probing.
Perhaps sensing Zhou Qi's resistance, Lu Jianian smiled again after asking a few more questions.
"Thank you, Zhou nurse, for your answers. With Zhou nurse so responsible in taking care of her, I believe my sister will receive the best care."
"It's up to you, Zhou nurse."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Zhou Qi's response and walked away again with a leisurely stride.
"This place is getting weirder and weirder!"
Looking at Lu Jianian's back, Zhou Qi shook her head and muttered.
The thought of quitting her job rose up in her heart again.
