Xiao Qing had an oval face and long hair. Her features were delicate and beautiful, making her a standout beauty in a crowd. However, compared to the absolute stunner seen at the door earlier, she lacked a certain allure, earning her only 90 points.
Although she also wore black stockings, she wasn't the one Gu Sang liked.
Slightly disappointed, Duan Chen turned back and saw Gu Sang hiding by the door, shaking his head.
Facing Xiao Qing's confused gaze, Duan Chen remained composed.
"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. There's another nurse in black stockings, do you know who it is?"
Xiao Qing frowned. "This is not a place for patients."
"I'm just looking for someone who resembles my sister, whom I lost many years ago."
Xiao Qing's heart softened instantly. "Oh, I see... You must be looking for A Cai. She's in the lounge."
"Thanks."
Xiao Qing couldn't help but remind him, "You can't come to the pharmacy to look for people next time, alright?"
Duan Chen smiled and nodded, then took his leave.
On the way to the lounge, Gu Sang sidled up to him again.
"What did you say this time?"
"I told her that the woman you admire is named A Cai, and that you have a brother you lost long ago."
Gu Sang murmured with renewed hope, "A Cai, A Cai, A Cai..."
In the lounge.
A Cai, wearing black stockings, put down her phone and walked over.
Big, she was really too big!
Her eyes were very large...
Of course, her figure was also full and charming, her small nurse's uniform barely containing it. However, her skin was dark, and she had a few freckles, barely making it an 85.
Clearly, she wasn't the one Gu Sang was looking for either.
"What do you want?" A Cai arrogantly sized up Duan Chen.
"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. I'm looking for a nurse in black stockings."
"Scram."
A Cai lit a cigarette with practiced ease.
She eyed Duan Chen with her large eyes, full of disdain. "You look like a decent person, but you're a pervert too."
Seeing that she wasn't someone to be trifled with, Duan Chen took out his badge.
"Please cooperate, madam."
A Cai paused for two seconds, and her attitude immediately changed.
"Oh, it's Officer Duan~"
"Give me a list of the nurses who wore black stockings today. I have an important use for it."
Duan Chen took out his notebook, assuming a serious demeanor as if he were on a case.
A Cai was very cooperative, taking a deep drag of her cigarette and recalling, "The ones who came to work in black stockings today should be: Xiao Yi, Ling Ling, Xiao Qing, Xiao Fang, and myself... Oh, right, Xiao Yuan was wearing stockings too. Is that helpful?"
"Just those in black stockings. Where are they now?"
A Cai thought for a moment. "Xiao Qing is in the pharmacy. Xiao Yi and Ling Ling are on their rounds. Xiao Fang seems to be in the treatment room checking medications."
"Officer Duan? Did they do something wrong?"
After all, they were colleagues, and A Cai was a little worried.
Duan Chen put away his pen. "I cannot disclose any information at this time. Thank you for your cooperation."
A Cai suddenly became coy, blushing as she said, "Um, Officer Duan, when will the Spirit Hunting Guild release its recruitment results this year? Since I've been so cooperative, could Officer Duan perhaps... wink wink..."
She blew him a flirtatious look, her ample chest pressing against Duan Chen.
Ah, so she was a Spirit Hunter too.
Duan Chen coughed lightly and moved to a safe distance.
"Anyone who passes the assessment is an elite. The Guild welcomes any capable individuals to join. The prerequisite is that you are prepared to sacrifice your heart for the people."
"A Cai is always ready!" she declared with longing in her eyes.
"Very good."
With that, Duan Chen turned and left.
Gu Sang sidled up to him again, "You talked for quite a while this time. What did you say?"
"I told her that the woman you admire is named Xiao Yi, Ling Ling, and Xiao Fang."
"...Damn it, which one is it?!"
Duan Chen scratched his messy hair. "I didn't expect so many nurses at Sacred Heart Hospital to wear black stockings."
"Good things take time. We'll continue our investigation." Gu Sang said with anticipation.
Duan Chen nodded. "Let's go to the treatment room first. The other two are on rounds."
"Okay."
The two walked towards the treatment room.
From afar, a graceful figure stood with her back to them, diligently checking medications in the treatment room.
At that moment, under the setting sun, her captivating silhouette became a fleeting, hazy vision, bathed in a soft glow that seemed to cast a halo around her, like a sacred angel spreading her pure white wings.
"It's her!!"
Gu Sang's heart fluttered. He turned and hid in the stairwell, gazing at her with captivated secrecy.
Duan Chen shook his head helplessly. People in love, their minds are indeed a little peculiar.
He walked forward and gently knocked on the treatment room door.
Knock, knock, knock!
The nurse in the black stockings seemed startled, jumping slightly like a little rabbit, looking incredibly cute.
When she turned and saw Duan Chen, she blinked her large eyes, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks. What a tempting little siren, Duan Chen thought, rating her a 99 in his mind.
"You... how did you get here?" The nurse lowered her head and walked over quickly.
The two chatted at the treatment room entrance.
Gu Sang's heart was filled with an anxious itch. He strained his ears to listen, but couldn't hear a thing.
Suddenly! He saw the nurse blush and smile at Duan Chen!
She actually smiled!
Consumed by jealousy, Gu Sang bit down on the doorframe, making a cracking sound.
Duan Chen also smiled, looking so dashing, elegant, and composed.
One handsome, the other beautiful. They looked so perfectly matched, so wonderful together.
In the afterglow of the sunset, their shadows seemed to cling together, even forming a heart shape!
Gu Sang was driven to madness by jealousy. He wished he could rush forward and punch Duan Chen flying. He even regretted asking Duan Chen to approach the nurse for him.
This was a terrible mistake! What if the nurse fell for Duan Chen?
He couldn't accept it, couldn't think, his mind went blank. In his daze, he thought he saw a laughing black mask, and he was being pulled deeper and deeper into the vortex of the mask.
Suddenly, a large hand patted Gu Sang's shoulder. Gu Sang looked closely and saw it was Duan Chen, who had returned.
"What are you spacing out about?"
Gu Sang feigned calmness, but he was already sweating profusely. A dark power coiled in his heart, and he desperately needed an outlet.
He suppressed it, muttering, "What did you say this time?"
Duan Chen slapped a sticky note onto Gu Sang's chest. "I've got it all sorted out for you."
Gu Sang's head buzzed. He trembled as he held the sticky note with his hands.
The paper had neat handwriting: [Xiao Fang, 1332332333^v^]
!!!!!!!!
Gu Sang trembled all over. He looked at Duan Chen in disbelief, as if he were looking at a deity, his eyes blazing with fervent light.
"The coffee date is also set."
"After work today, at Thirteen Street, Encounter Coffee House. Oh, by the way, order her a 'Cappuccino'. She said she likes it."
*Crackling!*
*Rumbling!*
Gu Sang's inner darkness instantly shattered, crumbling into pink, heart-shaped dust. A pink bubble named 'Love' filled all the gaps in his heart.
*Swish!* The cold and hot water dispensers of the drinking fountain were both turned on, and two streams of tears gushed out like a waterfall.
Gu Sang suddenly hugged Duan Chen, patting his back forcefully. Duan Chen winced from the impact, feeling like he was going to spit out blood.
"Duan Chen! Duan Chen! From now on, you are my sworn brother, Gu Sang!"
"Cough, cough, cough, I have more good news for you..."
Suddenly, the urgent ring of a phone interrupted him.
Caller ID: [Logistics Department · Xiao Li]
"Excuse me, I need to take this call."
Duan Chen walked to the corner of the corridor and answered the phone.
"Hello, what is it, Xiao Li?"
"Brother Chen!! It's bad! You need to leave the hospital immediately, be careful of g--"
*Beep, beep, beep...*
The call abruptly ended.
