In the VIP room, a man who had been lazily sitting there, staring at the monitoring screen, stood up. He casually draped his coat over his shoulders, raised his arm, and checked the wristwatch identical to the one worn by the girl on the screen.
It was still two hours until dinner time. It was currently afternoon tea time.
Is the little one hungry?
"Lord Five," a staff member said.
Lord Rong Five glanced at the staff member with an air of dignity and asked, "Aren't we going to the third venue?"
The staff member hesitated for a moment and then replied, "Yes, Lord Five, and everyone else, please follow me to the third assessment venue."
Lord Rong Five asked, "Is there cake?"
"Huh?"
Lord Rong Five said seriously, "Get me a slice of strawberry cake and a cup of milk tea with three sugars."
The staff member quickly responded, "Of course, right away."
Nan Huang followed and arrived at the third assessment venue.
The third assessment venue was a large hall with two floors, and the VIPs were on the second floor.
Lord Rong Five was in the best seat on the VIP section, slightly to the side of the front. The others were not far from him.
At this moment, the mysterious and prestigious figure of the Emperor City's Rong family, Lord Rong Five, held a cup of milk tea and a piece of cake, gazing intently at the entrance.
When he saw Nan Huang, he stood up and waved to her.
"Little one, come up."
A large group of people discreetly watched Lord Rong Five and tried to be inconspicuous, just like Nan Huang.
Nan Huang felt a bit awkward.
Cheng Jiang glanced at Lord Rong Five, and their eyes met. Cheng Jiang laughed and waved at the staff member.
The staff member said, "Dear candidates, you have a 20-minute break before the start of the third assessment. You may rest on your own."
Nan Huang sighed lightly and then calmly, as if unaware of any stares, walked up the stairs and approached Lord Rong Five.
"My little one, you've worked hard," Lord Rong Five said gently, taking out the cake and milk tea. "Are you hungry or thirsty?"
Nan Huang looked at the items in his hands. "A little."
Lord Rong Five smirked. "Come and eat."
On the VIP section, several pairs of fiery eyes were fixed on Lord Rong Five.
Zhong Ya opened her mouth in astonishment, her eyes filled with confusion.
Something seemed to have begun and ended before it even started.
Song Chu had no strong feelings about it; he was lost in thought about his recent unfortunate situation in the Song family.
Xie Ziran ate a piece of salty fish jerky with a resentful look, his eyes burning with anger at Lord Rong Five.
As for Bo Shen, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. His face was pale, and he looked deeply affected. The woman, the woman who was now dazzling and appeared in his dreams almost every night. She used to be his wife.
She was once within his grasp, but he pushed her away with his own hands. He abandoned her personally.
Now, she no longer belonged to him.
Truly, no longer belonged to him.
Regret, endless regret.
Nan Huang used a small spoon to eat her strawberry cake, leaving traces of cream on her rosy lips. The man next to her lovingly wiped her lips.
As his fingertip brushed her soft red lips, the man's eyes deepened, and he sighed softly.
Nan Huang asked, "What are you thinking, Lord Five?"
Lord Rong Five brought the milk tea over, inserted a straw, and placed it near her lips. Nan Huang took a sip, and Lord Rong Five looked at her, smiling slightly. "I'm thinking, did I block your romantic pursuits?"
"Romantic pursuits?" Nan Huang looked back at him in surprise. "Where is there any romantic pursuit?"
Lord Rong Five raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Do you want me to teach you how to deal with a romantic rival?"
Nan Huang raised an eyebrow.
Lord Rong Five leaned in and asked softly, "Little one, how do you want to deal with a romantic rival?"
Saying that, Lord Rong Five reached out and hugged Nan Huang, who was holding the cake. Nan Huang was slightly taken aback but then felt Lord Rong Five gently patting her head.
"Can I kiss you?" Lord Rong Five asked in a low voice.
Nan Huang pushed him away.
She patted her body, put down the cake, stood up, and her cheeks showed a slight blush.
Just then, the preparatory bell for the third assessment rang, and the venue came alive. Nan Huang looked down and saw a procession of hospital beds being wheeled in. Each bed had a patient, and there were exactly twenty patients in total.
A practical simulation assessment?
"I'm going," Nan Huang said.
"Okay," Lord Rong Five said, gazing coldly at the venue.
In the third assessment venue, there were twenty patients lying on twenty nursing beds, numbered from 1 to 20.
A staff member checked the time and said, "Each of you has half an hour to inquire and treat your patients. Providing a treatment plan and report will conclude the assessment. The exam begins now! Start the timer!"
In the third assessment venue, a massive hourglass started counting down, and the candidates approached their respective patients one by one.
In front of Nan Huang, the young girl on the hospital bed sat up.
Observing her for a while, Nan Huang felt a bit puzzled. How should she put it? The girl appeared to be about her age, seventeen or eighteen, and seemed quite healthy.
She picked up the file beside her and checked the basic data. Seeing that the girl remained silent for a while, Nan Huang inquired, "Miss Huang Ruo, may I help you with something?"
The girl lowered her eyelids slightly and sat quietly.
Nan Huang waited patiently for a while but, seeing no response, she continued, "May I check your pulse?"
The girl nodded lightly and extended her right hand. After taking her pulse, Nan Huang was somewhat puzzled. She looked at her gently and asked, "Do you feel troubled about something regarding yourself?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded slowly.
"Can you talk to me about your troubles?" Nan Huang guided her patiently.
The girl hesitated for a long time before slowly opening her mouth. "Doctor, I don't know if I'm a girl or a boy."
