No matter how long and unbearable the night, dawn always arrives on time.
Watching, a hint of purplish-red appeared on the horizon, then gradually brightened, as if in the next moment, the morning sun would appear at the end of the horizon.
“Guju!”
Lu Yibei clenched her small fists, gazing into the distance with an expressionless face, a flame of hope seemingly flickering in her eyes.
Now is the time!
After waiting all night, now is the moment to witness a miracle!
“Creak—!”
The door to the rooftop of the hospital outpatient building was suddenly pushed open by someone, followed by a weak complaint.
“Seriously, I couldn’t rest all night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that white-haired head. I’m almost having a nervous breakdown.”
The doctor, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, walked onto the rooftop, muttering to himself while fumbling for a cigarette and lighter in his pocket. Then he saw the naked back of a young girl on the rooftop, her arms spread as if embracing the air.
Her long hair, as smooth as silk, swayed in the morning breeze. As the young girl slowly turned around, her hair gradually turned fiery red.
On that expressionless face, a pair of dark red eyes seemed to have flames dancing within them—cold, gloomy, and harboring murderous intent.
“Why... why is someone here!?”
This, being seen like this, is too shameful! Lu Yibei thought, the sky isn't fully bright yet, and coming to such a remote place, aren't you really afraid of encountering Weird tale?
Well, you found one, didn't you?
A ethereal voice, like a fairy's whisper, sounded in his ear, carrying impatience. The doctor's body gradually stiffened, his mind buzzing.
I... I saw it! White hair, no! The true form of the red-haired Weird tale! I’m, I’m going to be killed!
“Clatter—!”
The lighter slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a soft sound, as if touching a taut nerve. The young girl suddenly turned and rushed towards him.
“No, don’t! Don’t come over—!”
The doctor shouted, his emotions collapsing, but the young girl seemed not to hear him at all.
Lu Yibei, “...” No, I can’t let him keep shouting. It’ll be troublesome if more people come!
The young girl came closer and closer. The next moment, under the terrifying heatwave, the doctor's brain instantly short-circuited. Adverse reactions, typically associated with heatstroke, began to appear in his body. /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ Following that, his vision blurred, and his consciousness plunged into a blank state.
The sun climbed above the horizon, and brilliant golden-red light spilled onto the young girl’s back.
Bathed in sunlight, she sprinted, her fair skin glowing faintly. Beneath her skin, a magma-like light flowed along her blood vessels. Then, pale dense smoke obscured her body, and within the smoke, the outline of the figure gradually became tall and imposing.
“Hiss—!”
By the time Lu Yibei stopped beside the doctor, he had completely fainted, lying on the ground, twitching occasionally.
It really worked! I’m back! Lu Yibei looked at her familiar hands, too excited to speak, but then she thought of the unconscious doctor beside her.
Without time to check her own condition, Lu Yibei suppressed her excitement, looking at the doctor with an expressionless face. After clearly seeing the doctor’s face, a wave of guilt involuntarily rose in her heart.
This... isn’t this the doctor from the corridor?
What a coincidence?
Damn it, I hope I didn't scare him into some kind of illness!
While thinking, Lu Yibei suddenly realized that she was still completely naked. Gradually, an evil thought arose in her mind, and her gaze slowly shifted towards the doctor beside her.
Look, there's a doctor here who suffered heatstroke. How about we...
Cough, cough! Although the old saying goes, you shouldn’t shear the same sheep too many times, if you can only shear it once, then shear it bald!
Lu Yibei thought immorally, then immorally stripped off the doctor’s clothes and trousers, leaving only his undergarments and white coat.
Dressed in the doctor’s clothes, Lu Yibei hurried away.
The unconscious doctor lay on the ground, like an abandoned doll.
One minute later.
Footsteps came from the stairwell behind him, followed by a pair of hands reaching out from the shadows, gently placing a stack of cool, wet tissues on the doctor's feverish forehead. In the shadows, Lu Yibei sighed softly as she looked at the unconscious doctor.
...
Leaving the outpatient building, and passing through the garden path in the early morning, the closer Lu Yibei got to the inpatient department, the more nervous and anxious she became.
If I return to my original appearance but still can't enter the inpatient building, what should I do?
I also don't know if Little Maid has woken up. If she wakes up and finds me gone, will she exaggerate the report to Jiang Li?
Mysteriously disappearing from the ward, plus what happened last night, even I would consider myself a prime suspect!
Lost in thought, Lu Yibei stopped her steps in front of the inpatient building.
“Whoosh—!”
After a moment of hesitation, she took a deep breath, slowly stepped forward, and raised her hand, reaching out, her fingertips constantly probing the boundary of the invisible barrier.
She moved forward stiffly, watching her fingertips steadily approach the inpatient building. Lu Yibei could feel her heart beating faster and faster, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
Just as Lu Yibei felt she was about to reach the distance where she had hit the invisible barrier last night, a slightly anxious exclamation suddenly came from behind her.
“Hey, hey! Be careful, let me help you, let me help you!”
Accompanied by a woman's exclamation, someone rushed up from behind, grabbed Lu Yibei's hand, and supported him, or rather, forcibly pulled him forward.
Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the inpatient building, Lu Yibei's pupils slightly contracted, and she secretly thought, “Oh no.”
A soft and elastic sensation came from her back. Lu Yibei froze for a moment, then turned her head and saw a tall, robust nurse “big” sister with thick limbs, as strong as a calf.
Lu Yibei, “???” Why is there such a... nurse? In the pediatrics department, she’d scare the children to tears, wouldn’t she?

“You hemiplegia patients! How many times have I told you not to run around alone, not to run around alone? Why do you never listen? What if you trip or bump into something?” the nurse complained.
Lu Yibei, “...” I’m just trembling from nervousness, not hemiplegia from a cerebral hemorrhage. freёwebnoѵel.com
“Actually, I...” Lu Yibei opened her mouth, just about to explain, when she suddenly realized she was already standing in the lobby of the inpatient department, and was taken aback.
Am I... in? Has that restriction been removed, or does it no longer affect me after I returned to my original form?
Lu Yibei wondered, and by the time she came back to her senses, the nurse had already taken her to the elevator.
“Neurology inpatient department, right?” The Little Maid pointed to the floor buttons on the elevator.
“...” Lu Yibei didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only nod and respond, “Mm!”
I absolutely cannot let her know I’m not a patient! Otherwise, if she thinks I’m deceiving her, she might beat me to death, right? Lu Yibei thought, glancing at the fan-like hand resting on her shoulder.
...
After parting ways with the strong nurse sister, Lu Yibei circled the inpatient building several times before finding her ward.
Just as he was about to push the door open, he suddenly heard voices from inside the ward. He stopped in his tracks and quickly pressed himself against the door.
“You mean, you fell asleep, and when you woke up, he was gone?” Jiang Li said coldly.
“Yes, I’m sorry, Miss.” Little Maid said weakly, “I don’t know why, but last night, in the latter half of the night, I suddenly felt especially sleepy, and then... Miss, do you think he might be in danger?”
“Sigh—!” Jiang Li sighed helplessly, “Don’t worry, I’ve already sealed this building with boundary-sealing paper talismans. Besides ordinary people and Night Watch members, other Weird tale and Psychic cannot enter.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei’s breath hitched, and her heart skipped a beat. Other Weird tale and Psychic cannot enter.
I was taken away unconsciously, and Little Maid didn't even notice. Ordinary people would find it very difficult to do that...
Hiss—! Could it be a Night Watch member?
So, there’s... an insider in Night Watch!?
“Go out and look for him. He’s injured. If he left on his own, he shouldn’t have gone far.”
Jiang Li’s voice interrupted Lu Yibei’s thoughts. Hearing this, her expression changed slightly.
Injured? Oh no, my wound already...
Lu Yibei thought, her right hand subconsciously touching her abdomen. Then, gritting her teeth, she turned and ran away.
As he walked, he paused slightly when passing a dressing change cart parked at a ward door. While the nurse was talking to a patient in the ward, her attention distracted, he grabbed a pair of scissors and a roll of gauze, then quickly ran off.
A few minutes later.
In the furthest restroom of the proctology inpatient department, intermittent groans echoed.
“Uh... uh... ah...”
A certain unaware proctology patient stood at the bathroom door, listening to the groans from the innermost stall, seemingly suppressing pain. Further associating it with his own condition, he showed a sympathetic expression.
How severe must the hemorrhoids be to make someone scream so heartbreakingly?
How terrifying! To hell with conservative treatment, I’d better get it cut off soon!
...
A moment later.
Lu Yibei, pale-faced and with sweat beading on her forehead, slowly walked along the wall, recalling how she had almost rashly returned to the ward, and couldn't help but feel a pang of fear.
Perhaps it was because temporarily regaining her male form and successfully entering the inpatient building made her too excited. She actually forgot that she was an injured person, with a wound that almost severed her appendix.
If she rashly returned to the ward and the Night Watch members discovered that her wound was only a shallow pink scar, she would absolutely not be able to hide it successfully.
Such a deep wound, it’s impossible for a normal person to recover overnight! ƒгeewebnovёl.com
“Damn it! It really hurts like hell!” Lu Yibei cursed in a low voice.
A few minutes ago, in the toilet stall, he made a great decision to pluck up the courage to “self-harm.”
What's that saying? To be a man, be hard on yourself!
Fortunately, after reverting to his original form, his body's toughness wasn't as high as he imagined. After several attempts, he finally managed to cut an opening in his abdomen.
But...
The pain of the entire process did not diminish because his skin was tougher than a normal person's. Instead, because the scissors were slow to cut through the skin, he endured several times more pain.
The moment the blood gushed out, he almost fainted from the pain!
Stabbing myself? If I have to do this a few more times, I’m really going to break down!
Lu Yibei was thinking when Little Maid’s voice suddenly came from beside her.
“I finally found you. Why did you run off here without a word?”
Lu Yibei looked up at Little Maid and said seriously, “Morning exercise! Although I’m a homebody, I’ve always had a habit of morning exercise.”
“You’re so severely injured, and you’re doing morning exercise the next day?” Little Maid eyed Lu Yibei suspiciously.
“Mm...” Lu Yibei nodded, her face expressionless, “I just wanted to try, but I pulled my wound and it hurt too much, so I came back.”
As he spoke, he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the gauze wrapped around his abdomen, with faint traces of blood seeping through it.
Little Maid silently watched Lu Yibei, as if trying to discern something from him. After a moment, after not detecting any hint of a lie, she rolled her eyes.
“I’ve noticed that you not only talk a lot of nonsense, but you also have something wrong with your brain! Who gets such a severe injury and still thinks about morning exercise the next day? Is your head full of muscles?”
Just by looking, I can't tell anything. Whether he's hiding something or not, I'll leave it to Miss to decide. Little Maid thought.
Seeing that Little Maid had temporarily dispelled her suspicions, Lu Yibei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
(I can’t do it anymore, my liver can’t take it! The detailed plot I had in mind is almost finished, and I’m really worried about the plot collapsing if I add more! So, I’m going to crossdress to apologize! Let’s see what everyone says! If you agree, go check out Pineapple Bun later!)
