Chapter 106 – Meeting the Fanboy Again
“You seem like the type of college student who obediently reads, enjoys studying classical literature, and likes music,” Tu Ran said.
Ding Naiqing laughed. “Sister Ran, the kind you’re describing is the complete opposite of me.”
“Haha, truly, you can’t judge a book by its cover,” Tu Ran remarked as she gazed at the tall buildings flying past the window.
After dropping Tu Ran off at the helipad on the top floor of the medical department, Ding Naiqing started the patrol car and returned.
There were still many things to handle at Mitney Square, and he couldn’t stay away for too long.
A nurse was already waiting at the helipad to escort her to the nutrition pod via the elevator.
Along the way, many people cast strange looks at Tu Ran.
She couldn’t have looked more disheveled.
Her neutral casual clothes were soaked with blood, sticking to her skin.
A few strands of her tied-up ponytail had come loose, with blood coagulated in her hair, making the whole mass of hair stick together.
Tu Ran couldn’t see her face, but she guessed it wasn’t any better.
A rag from a crime scene probably wasn’t dirtier than she was.
Many people whispered as they passed her. Though their voices were low, Tu Ran’s sharp hearing made it easy to catch what they were saying.
“So filthy! Why didn’t she clean up at home before coming? Does she think our medical department is a shower room?”
Two young nurses were talking.
“Who knows? The smell from her, I can smell it from this far away. It’s disgusting.”
“Exactly, I smell it too. It’s making me sick.”
Tu Ran was speechless. She detested people who gossiped.
She stopped, turned around, and glared coldly at the two.
“What are you saying? Speak up, I can’t hear you!”
The two were stunned by her sudden outburst, freezing in place.
Tu Ran gave them a cold glare, unwilling to waste any more time, and turned to head towards the nutrition pod.
The two nurses sighed in relief only after she walked away, exchanging worried glances without saying another word. Given that she had heard them from such a distance, they didn’t want to risk being overheard again.
The nurse escorting Tu Ran apologized, “Miss Tu, I will report this to their head nurse. They will be disciplined. I’m sorry for your unpleasant experience.”
Tu Ran couldn’t care less about the incident; she just wanted to soak in the nutrient solution. Her legs felt like they were about to give out.
Her mind was fixated on one thought: Why was the nutrition pod so far away? Why weren’t they there yet?
As she reached the end of the hallway and turned the last corner, she encountered a group of young doctors.
They were chatting and laughing.
Seeing a blood-covered person suddenly appear, they were startled and instinctively moved aside, leaving enough space for Tu Ran to pass through.
Tu Ran, desperate to reach the nutrition pod, didn’t even look at them as she walked past.
Once she entered the treatment room, the group gathered together.
“Did any of you find her back familiar? Like we’ve seen her somewhere before?” asked the boy with the gold-rimmed glasses.
“I thought so too,” his companion said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
“She looks like that pioneer we met in the elevator before,” someone recalled.
“Tu Ran? The girl who stood in the corner without speaking?” Gold-rims caught on. “Now that you mention it, she does look like her.”
“What happened to her?” another person wondered. “She looked like she was pulled out of a pool of blood.”
