Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Dr. Xie still maintained very abundant energy, with a steady voice and a lively look. When he asked Yun Xi about her symptoms and gave instructions to his assistants, his style was very concise and decisive, and he handled everything in an orderly manner. Coupled with Dr. Xie's identity and resume, it made him somehow carry a calm and confident charm that belonged only to mature men. In Yun Xi's opinion, even the ordinary white coat looked more neat and straight on him than on others. When Dr. Xie leaned over and used the ophthalmoscope to examine Yun Xi's eyes, Yun Xi could even smell a very faint woody fragrance on this doctor. She didn't know if it was the smell of aftershave or the remaining fragrance after men's perfume dissipated. "Your fundus has no problems, but you should also pay attention to eye health in daily life." While handing the ophthalmoscope to the assistant beside him, Dr. Xie also said gently to Yun Xi. And Yun Xi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and quickly put forward her request: "Doctor, actually I just want to have an optometry test to see if my degree has increased." Dr. Xie smiled, with a look of understanding in his eyes - he should have known that Yun Xi was coming to take advantage of the free service. He sat back in front of the computer, wrote an optometry prescription for Yun Xi while continuing to remind her of some common eye care matters. Being carefully reminded by such a gentle and handsome doctor, Yun Xi just felt... How nice it would be to be rich! It turned out that even the doctors seen by rich people were so virtuous and made people feel so comfortable. After Yun Xi finished the optometry test and walked out of the optometry room with her optometry report with all the examination data clearly listed, the little nurse on the way also showed her the way while giving her kind reminders about various eye care precautions. This made Yun Xi feel quite emotional. Compared with going to the ophthalmology department of the provincial hospital in the morning, Yun Xi felt that coming to Meili Hospital this time was like Alice falling into the rabbit hole. But unlike Alice in Wonderland, her "one-day tour of seeing a doctor like a rich person" was coming to an end. Moreover, Yun Xi didn't know if it was because it was quite late and some departments had already got off work. She always felt that this hospital was even colder than when she came. When she walked through the corridor to take the elevator, she could even hear the echo of her own footsteps. This made Yun Xi feel a bit... creepy. "This hospital is so empty of people!" Yun Xi muttered. She had never seen a hospital with so little "human presence". Yun Xi couldn't help but quicken her pace, but the echoes in the corridor also overlapped together, as if several people were chasing her. When she rushed to the elevator hall, Yun Xi pressed all six downward buttons of the elevators at once. But the nearest elevator had to come down from the tenth-odd floor. And for some reason, all six elevators stopped at every floor. "Oh, no..." Yun Xi became even more panicked in her heart. This hospital, when did it have so many people? It was as if all the people in the hospital were crowded in the elevators! And maybe because people would be suspicious in a strange place. Yun Xi always felt that there was someone behind her waiting for the elevator with her. But every time she turned around to look, the elevator hall was just empty. "Ah..." She decided not to scare herself anymore. Yun Xi thought, took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and began to focus only on staring at the slowly changing elevator floor numbers and counting silently in her heart. But at this time, Yun Xi heard a regular and faint sound coming from the far end of the corridor. It wasn't the sound of footsteps or breathing. It seemed to be some kind of mechanical sound. Zzzt... Zzzt... Zzzt... Yun Xi's heart started beating faster. The elevator was still slowly descending floor by floor, and the sound was gradually getting closer from far away. Yun Xi also hesitantly turned her head and listened intently to the sound as it gradually passed through the corridor... It seemed to stop right outside the elevator hall. Zzzt... The sound rang out clearly again very close to the elevator hall, and Yun Xi couldn't bear it anymore! What on earth was making that sound? With three parts of the courage inspired by fear, Yun Xi directly strode towards the corridor. The elevator hall was right in the middle of the corridor, dividing the long corridor into two parts, with the left and right leading to different departments respectively. Yun Xi stood at the entrance from the corridor to the elevator hall, turning her head back and forth to look on both sides. There were only ceiling lights every few meters in the corridor, shining brightly. There was not a single person in front or behind. And the sound stopped abruptly the moment she entered the corridor. Yun Xi looked around and waited for a while, but there was indeed no one around, and the sound disappeared. She then let out a sigh of relief and comforted herself: This is a hospital. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. What could happen? Then she turned around
