The Great Doctor Girl

That night, Huang Junze contacted his driver, and the second-hand Excelle sped through the night like a weary but determined beast. The roar of the engine shattered the deep stillness of the night and ultimately brought me back to my Luoshu Yiyi Hall.

When I opened my eyes again, the morning sunlight, like a golden veil, gently streamed into the room through the window. The light was delicate and warm, clearly outlining the lines in the floor, as if carefully carved by time. The air was filled with the faint aftertaste of last night's battle. The strange Seven Evil Soul-Locking Formation seemed to have left an indelible shadow, filling the room with an eerie silence, as if time had stood still.

Last night, Huang Junze insisted on staying to take care of me, but I was determined to let him go. After all, he has always been someone who is skeptical and resistant to mysterious powers. His presence accompanying me through last night's thrilling adventure was beyond my expectations.

"Luo Shu, are you awake?" He looked down at me. The moment he saw me slightly open my eyes, the usual icy coldness on his face melted away like spring snow, transforming into a rare gentleness. That gentleness was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, creating layers of warm ripples.

Unexpectedly, he actually stayed here all night. If he hadn't witnessed the nightmare-like events of last night, how could he have stayed so resolutely and without flinching?

"Well... why don't you go back?" I responded in surprise. My voice was so weak that it seemed to come from the distant sky and could disappear into the air at any time, but there was still a hint of imperceptible stability in it.

Last night's fierce battle had nearly drained every ounce of my strength. My body felt as if it were being mercilessly hollowed out by an invisible giant hand. Every muscle protested in agony, and even every breath became heavy and difficult. Yet, Huang Junze's mysterious power seemed to provide an invisible support, allowing me to struggle out of that near-death situation.

Thinking back to last night, when I said I was going back to Yiyitang, Huang Junze didn't say anything, just nodded silently. His eyes, as deep as a lake, no longer held the doubts and objections he once held. It was as if everything that happened last night had been a heavy hammer, shattering his inner prejudice against these mysterious powers. He carefully supported me, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a rare and fragile treasure, and slowly lifted me from the bed.

"I'll take you back." His words were firm and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation. The voice seemed to burst forth from the depths of his soul, carrying an irresistible resolve.

I wanted to refuse, but my extreme weakness and his unwavering, unwavering gaze drained me of the strength to persist. Huang Junze's embrace remained warm, carrying a strange, reassuring power. For the first time, I felt a sense of dependence I'd never experienced before. Along the way, the air was filled with the fresh, refreshing scent of last night's storm. It was as if the entire city was quietly making way for us, the world becoming exceptionally quiet, leaving only the sounds of our breathing and heartbeats.

By the time I returned to Yiyitang, daybreak had already broken. The familiar little room remained quiet and peaceful, as if untouched by any disturbances from the outside world. The couplets in front of the door swayed gently in the breeze, and the sunlight shone brightly on the plaque of the medical hall, as if silently telling the story of the vicissitudes of time.

"I'm back..." I whispered, a strange sense of peace welling up in my heart. This is where I belong, my safe haven in this complex world, and the place where my soul rests.

Huang Junze carefully helped me to the infirmary's lounge and laid me down on the soft bed. At that moment, he seemed to finally relax a little. I looked at the neatly arranged medical supplies in the infirmary, and my inner anxiety gradually subsided.

"Luo Shu, are you... okay?" Huang Junze stood beside me, a rare look of nervousness and concern on his face. It was as if I were the most precious treasure in his world, something he could lose at the slightest mistake.

Huang Junze nodded, a subtle flash of pain in his eyes. He had never seen me so weak, and it was all because I had risked everything to save others' lives. In his mind, I had always been strong and calm, but now I was so fragile, as if the slightest disturbance would engulf me in the ruthless winds of fate.

"I will stay and take care of you." His voice was low but full of determination, as if he had made a vow that would never change.

"No, you go back, I'm fine." I immediately refused, not wanting to become a burden to him.

"Go to sleep." After saying that, he turned and walked out. However, I didn't hear him leave.

Huang Junze didn't give me any chance to refute this time. His tone was firm and unquestionable.

I watched him from behind, a complex wave of emotions welling up within me. Huang Junze had always maintained a rational distance from me, but now he was showing a care and sense of responsibility he had never felt before. Perhaps last night's experience had made him realize that I wasn't just a fateful bond to him, but someone he needed to protect with all his might.

At this moment, I really don’t have the strength to deal with the subsequent recovery process alone, and Huang Junze’s strength seems to have become the most solid support in my life.

"Junze," I whispered, my gaze slowly shifting to the window. The blue sky and white clouds held a tranquil peace. "Do you believe in fate?"

Huang Junze didn't answer immediately. Instead, he remained silent for a long time, seemingly contemplating this profound question. Once upon a time, he was the one who disbelieved in fate, always believing that his destiny was in his own hands. But last night's Seven Evil Soul-Locking Formation, and the strange and inexplicable connection between him and me, shattered all his previous beliefs. He was no longer the aloof and powerful figure who disdained fate, but now a man tightly entangled in the threads of fate, unable to break free.

"I don't know." He whispered, with a hint of helplessness and confusion in his tone, "But some things really can't be explained."

I smiled faintly and didn't press further. Perhaps Huang Junze needed time to come to terms with all this. And I, too, needed time to recover and regain the power to control my own destiny.

The air is filled with the faint aroma of herbs, emanating from the medicinal materials I prepare for my patients daily. At this moment, they seem to soothe my soul, bringing a peaceful and warm power, slowly soothing my tired body and mind.

Huang Junze sat silently beside me. Although he didn't know any medicine, his presence seemed to be my strongest support. Under his gaze, I closed my eyes, quietly feeling the recovery of my inner strength, as if all the troubles were isolated at this moment.

At this moment, a surprised voice came from the door, "Doctor Luo Shu, Doctor Luo Shu, are you there?"

"What's the matter?" Huang Junze asked with a hint of vigilance in his voice.

"Where is Doctor Luo Shu? My mother is getting better," said the daughter of the woman who suffered from severe insomnia that day, her voice full of excitement and joy.

"I told Dr. Luo Shu that she is not here." Huang Junze replied to her for me.

"Oh, then you must convey it." The woman's daughter left without interest, and her footsteps gradually faded away in the corridor.

The room returned to silence, with only the sunlight still quietly shining on the ground. Huang Junze's gaze fell on me again, and there seemed to be something more in his eyes. Was it firmness, determination, or an indescribable tenderness?

"How's your health lately?" I asked softly to break the awkwardness.

"I'm recovering well. Look, the 2000 yuan clothes I wore today didn't react at all. I don't feel dizzy or heavy." His face was filled with surprise and satisfaction, as if this was a huge victory.

I smiled slightly, feeling a little relieved. "That's great! It seems the treatment I gave you earlier is working."

He walked to the window and looked out at the street. The sunlight shone on his face, outlining the outline of his determination. "The discomfort that used to bother me has lessened in the past few days."

I sat up and leaned against the headboard. "Then you must cherish this hard-earned health."

He turned his head and met my eyes. "This is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I might still be struggling in pain."

At that moment, a warm and subtle atmosphere filled the room.

At this moment, Huang Junze's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking this beautiful moment.

He answered the phone with a frown on his face, his expression gradually becoming more serious. After hanging up, he looked at me, his eyes full of worry and confusion.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "There's an emergency at the company, and I have to go over and deal with it right away."

His voice was filled with helplessness and anxiety, as if two villains were pulling at each other. One said, "No matter how important the company's affairs are, they can't compare to being with her right now." The other retorted, "The company is your responsibility. You can't just ignore it."

His heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, he was reluctant to leave me, but on the other hand, he knew that the company's affairs could not be delayed. This struggle made him upset.

"Then go quickly and don't delay your work," I said.

He nodded and turned to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back, "Wait until I come back."

Looking at his back as he hurried away, I felt a sense of inexplicable loss in my heart.
