She ordered five dishes for Zhao Ru, two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a soup, each carefully divided into two boxes.

The rest was packed up by the restaurant staff, and she could take it home for dinner.

"I feel really bad about taking your lunch." After sitting down, Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "But I just couldn't resist, I wanted to try the food you made yourself."

Hearing this, Zhao Ru's face turned even redder. She twisted the hem of her white nurse uniform with both hands, and said softly with her head down, "My cooking isn't very good."

"Nonsense." Jiang Cheng blinked and said righteously, "I think it's delicious. If possible, I'd like to eat it again tomorrow."

Jiang Cheng was careful to control the rhythm. For someone who frequented nightclubs, everything he did was seamless; he was just being himself.

After a short period of contact, the relationship between the two had grown much closer.

During their chat, Jiang Cheng also subtly inquired about things in the hospital, but unfortunately, Zhao Ru was new and didn't know much.

But she promised to keep an eye out for Jiang Cheng.

"If you insist on something strange..." Zhao Ru hesitated for a moment before saying, "I actually encountered something too."

But it seemed like she wasn't sure either.

Jiang Cheng pretended to be curious and asked her to talk about it.

Zhao Ru said that when she first arrived at the hospital, Director Qi arranged for her to give injections to the patient in room 906. Director Qi had taken her there for the first few times.

Director Qi would watch while she gave the patient the injection.

At this point, Zhao Ru's expression changed slightly, as if she couldn't figure something out, and there was also some apprehension in her expression.

But the next second, a hand rested on the back of her hand. The hand was large and warm. Zhao Ru looked up and met Jiang Cheng's sparkling eyes.

Zhao Ru's apprehension instantly disappeared.

She told Jiang Cheng that when Director Qi accompanied her to give the injections, she had a strange feeling she couldn't explain. Director Qi's attention didn't seem to be on her at all.

More precisely, when she was giving the patient the injection, Director Qi wasn't concerned about her technique, but instead stared at the patient's face every time.

"That feeling was like..." Zhao Ru frowned, "Like he was observing, observing the patient's reaction."

"But how could the patient have any reaction?" Zhao Ru said, "She's already crazy, she's completely lost her mind, and she doesn't react to any external stimuli."

"It went on like this for about a week before Director Qi let me go alone."

Zhao Ru stopped here, her expression a little tangled.

Jiang Cheng naturally took her water glass and handed it to her.

Zhao Ru took it and took a few small sips.

It was clear that she wasn't thirsty, but just trying to calm herself down.

Jiang Cheng didn't urge her and looked calm, but he was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof.

Licking her lips, Zhao Ru finally spoke, "After that, I followed Director Qi's instructions and came to give her injections every day."

"But..." Zhao Ru's tone changed, and the way she looked at Jiang Cheng was different from before, as if this memory was difficult for her to recall. "One day, after I got the medicine, I was carrying it to give the injection, and at the corner between the 8th and 9th floors, I wasn't paying attention and my foot slipped."

"The medicine bottle broke."

Zhao Ru's expression was very tangled, and her tone was very low. "I didn't dare to tell Director Qi. I'm an intern, and I've only been here for less than two weeks. I was worried... worried..."

Seeing Zhou Ru was nervous, Jiang Cheng stroked the back of her hand and comforted her, "I understand, you didn't want that to happen, did you?"

It seemed that after the medicine was broken that day, Zhou Ru did not tell Director Qi.

"What happened then?" Jiang Cheng asked softly.

Hearing this, Zhou Ru took a deep breath. "Then the next day, I took the medicine as usual and went to give the patient in room 906 an injection."

"It was raining outside that day." Zhou Ru recalled, "Heavy rain, it didn't stop all night, and the sky outside was gloomy."

"If you didn't turn on the lights in the room, it was basically no different from nighttime."

At this point, Zhou Ru subconsciously glanced out the window.

It seemed that the weather that day was similar to today's. The dark clouds outside looked like they were about to crush the sky.

"I came to room 906. Everything in the room was the same as before. The patient was lying on the bed, lying flat, with her eyes open, staring straight at the ceiling."

"I'm used to her being like this. From the first day I saw her, she was like this," Zhou Ru said.

"The weather was very bad that day, and I wasn't in a good mood either. I finally waited until the IV drip was finished, so I went to pull out the needle, but as soon as I pulled out the needle, there was a particularly loud thunder outside, which scared me."

"Immediately afterwards, the lights in the room flickered a few times and then went out."

"The room became very dark."

"Because I was holding the needle in my hand at the time, my first reaction was to quickly put the needle away so I wouldn't accidentally poke the patient."

"But just as I reached out to feel for the medical tray, I... I touched a hand!" At this point, Zhao Ru's breathing suddenly became rapid.

She looked at Jiang Cheng, her eyes filled with horror. "But I clearly remember that was where the tray was, and... and the patient's hand... the patient's hand was still in my hand!"

Putting himself in her shoes, Jiang Cheng also found it quite terrifying, but he still pretended to be calm and comforted her, "Could it be that you were too nervous?"

"People tend to let their imaginations run wild in the dark," Jiang Cheng said with a smile in a very calm voice.

"No!" Zhao Ru said immediately. "I can be sure that I did touch a hand, and..." Seeming to recall the scene at the time, her body began to tremble, "That hand was extremely cold, as if it had been frozen in ice."

"What happened then?"

Hearing Jiang Cheng speak, Zhao Ru immediately looked at him, her gaze different from before. "Another flash of lightning came." Zhao Ru's voice was trembling. "With that instant of light, I saw... I saw that woman was looking at me!"

"Her eyes moved, her eyeballs turned in my direction!"

"Who's looking at you?" Jiang Cheng pressed. "The woman in the hospital bed?"

"Yes." Zhou Ru said excitedly, "She also... also said something to me!"

"She said..." Zhou Ru subconsciously grabbed Jiang Cheng's hand, her eyes fixed on his face, "She said she's back!"

After a moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky outside.

Then, there was a clap of thunder.

It was pouring rain outside.

Zhou Ru seemed extremely frightened and was trembling uncontrollably. Jiang Cheng kept comforting her and even let her lean on him.

After a while, Zhou Ru's emotions stabilized, and then, seeming to feel that her actions with Jiang Cheng had been a little too intimate just now, she moved back a little.
