As they hadn't found anything for a long time, everyone truly blended into their roles as patients, waiting for meals at the designated times.
After meals, they would go for a stroll, then a group of them would find a secluded spot for a meeting.
When Ning Wei mentioned a ghost in the bathroom, the atmosphere shifted.
Everyone started pestering Ning Wei, asking which places had ghosts so they could avoid them.
Ning Wei's expression turned grim. "If we don't see the ghost, how can I help her find a house or get a train ticket to leave here? Are you all tired of living?"
Everyone fell silent.
Ning Wei decided to continue her rounds. At the end of the corridor, she encountered the male doctor again. This time, Ning Wei saw clearly. His name tag read Yang Shuo.
"Dr. Yang, hello," Ning Wei greeted him proactively.
Yang Shuo stopped. "I remember you. You're in the same room as my patient. Are you feeling unwell?"
Ning Wei shook her head and stated directly, "I just haven't seen such a handsome doctor, so I wanted to say hello."
Yang Shuo's ears visibly reddened. If Ning Wei hadn't seen the group of female ghosts following behind him, she might have suspected he was a particularly pure and shy man.
Yang Shuo handed Ning Wei a business card from his pocket. "If you need anything, feel free to contact me."
Ning Wei felt a hint of displeasure. "Dr. Yang, are you cursing me to get sick?"
"No, no, no," Yang Shuo stuttered nervously. "I just... actually, my personal number is also on the back of this card, so..."
Yang Shuo was very adept at not saying things directly, but his implied meaning was immediately understood by the other person.
Ning Wei understood instantly. She flipped the card with her slender, fair fingers and, as expected, found a personal phone number on the back.
Ning Wei looked down at the card with a very serious expression. Yang Shuo's eyes flashed, as if he felt he had something secured.
After Ning Wei finished looking, she put the card in her pocket.
At this moment, a new face, a female nurse, walked out from the end of the corridor. She was beautiful and seemed like a very gentle person.
Her cheeks were flushed, but what was even redder than her cheeks were her lips, delicate and alluring, like a rosebud about to bloom.
She walked past them with her head down, as if she were merely passing by.
However, Ning Wei saw that even with her head down, her eyes involuntarily glanced at Dr. Yang Shuo.
Ning Wei, being the astute person she was, understood everything. It seemed her sudden appearance had disturbed certain people's romantic prospects.
Yang Shuo, however, maintained a proper demeanor, his expression unchanged. He didn't even spare a glance at the female nurse, much to her unspoken disappointment.
Ning Wei had also noticed the name tag of the female nurse earlier. Her name was Zhu Yun. Ning Wei silently repeated her name, thinking it suited her.
Now, two nurses who seemed to have a connection with Yang Shuo had appeared: Zhu Yun, who had just passed by, and Lan Lingling from the inpatient department.
After Zhu Yun walked further away, Yang Shuo also left, citing work as his reason.
Watching Yang Shuo's tall and handsome figure, followed by a string of female ghosts, Ning Wei mused, "Is he a nurse-killer?"
Ning Wei had deliberately struck up a conversation with Yang Shuo this time to draw out that female ghost.
Unexpectedly, the female ghost didn't fall for it, and Ning Wei didn't see her.
It was possible this female ghost was too busy. After all, Dr. Yang Shuo's "prey" were spread throughout the entire hospital. Whether they were medical staff or patients, anyone who caught his eye would receive a flirtatious gesture.
Just now, when Dr. Yang Shuo handed Ning Wei the business card, he had deliberately brushed his hand against hers. It was a very suggestive gesture.
Ning Wei glanced at the spot he had touched, feeling as if the cold sensation still lingered.
However, for someone surrounded by so many female ghosts, it was normal for his body to feel a bit cold.
Ning Wei returned to the ward. The others hadn't returned yet. She casually placed the business card on the bedside table.
At this moment, Lan Lingling came to take Zhu Yilian's temperature. Zhu Yilian was not there, but her eyes fell on the business card, and she froze.
Sensing her odd behavior, Ning Wei asked, "Is something wrong?"
Lan Lingling snapped back to reality and quickly shook her head. "Nothing. It's just... where did you find this business card?"
Ning Wei found it amusing. This person was too foolish. Even if she wanted to inquire, she should have come up with a better excuse.
Ning Wei didn't want to spare her any face and directly exposed her intentions. "I didn't find it. Dr. Yang Shuo gave it to me. He said it has his private number and I can contact him if I have any needs."
Ning Wei deliberately emphasized the word "needs" with a heavy, ambiguous tone, and added a lingering gaze, allowing for many imaginings.
Clearly, Lan Lingling imagined much more, because after hearing Ning Wei's words, her face darkened visibly.
Not only that, but her tone also became more biting, as if trying to show she wasn't bothered by a desperate attempt to prove her indifference.
Lan Lingling looked at Ning Wei with a fake smile. "Dr. Yang Shuo is a highly skilled doctor. Perhaps he noticed something wrong with your health and is subtly reminding you this way. Dr. Yang has done this before. The last patient who received a business card underwent a full body check-up and was diagnosed with cancer."
Ning Wei was unfazed by her curse-like words.
It was like someone desperately trying to prove themselves, a low-level and foolish tactic.
"As a medical professional, is this what you should be saying? I'll report you!"
Lan Lingling had just replaced Wang Xi, indicating she had someone backing her. Therefore, Ning Wei's threat didn't scare her at all.
"I was just kindly reminding you. If you mind, then pretend I didn't say anything," Lan Lingling continued to explain to Ning Wei with a fake smile.
Seeing her sharp tongue, Ning Wei felt annoyed. However, upon seeing the female ghost suddenly appear beside her, Ning Wei smiled.
"Will you be on duty tonight?" Ning Wei suddenly asked.
Lan Lingling, not understanding why Ning Wei would suddenly ask this, assumed she was simply trying to change the subject because she couldn't win the argument.
"Of course. Wang Xi has a family emergency, so I'm on duty tonight. If you feel unwell, you can press the call bell. If there's anything I can't handle, I'll contact Dr. Yang Shuo for you. Dr. Yang Shuo is also on duty tonight."
She thought knowing Dr. Yang's schedule would make Ning Wei jealous, and her smugness was evident on her face.
Ning Wei couldn't be bothered with this fool. "Don't worry, I won't die even if you do. There's good entertainment tonight. Nurse Lan, try not to fall asleep, so you don't miss the show."
Lan Lingling found Ning Wei's words cryptic. Thinking she was flustered and overwhelmed, she became even more smug and turned to leave the ward.
