Ark Simulator, don't I have no physical form?

Suri pursed her lips, her long, slender fingers unconsciously tugging at the hem of her trench coat: "...Nonsense."

The first infected person to push open the door was a thin young man. He nervously clutched the hem of his clothes, but froze when he saw Su Rui on the counter. Sunlight streamed through the glass window, illuminating Su Rui and outlining his delicate features. His black trench coat and black hair formed a perfect whole, except for his deep black eyes, which shone brightly like the most dazzling stars in the night sky.

"Um, that..." the boy stammered, "I've come to see a doctor..."

Nightingale gently nudged Suri's back.

Suri reluctantly said, "...Go over there to register." Though her voice was cold, it made the boy breathe a sigh of relief.

As time went by, the number of people at the medical station gradually increased. Every patient who entered was first attracted by the scene on the counter—the rumored cold-hearted Lord Su Rui was sitting on the edge of the counter, his long legs crossed, his black hair falling over his forehead, and his whole person looked like a carefully painted ink landscape painting.

"That's the seventh one." Shining leaned against the medicine cabinet and whispered to Nightingale, "Aren't you just using him as a lucky charm?"

Nightingale chuckled softly, "But he certainly made the patients feel much more relaxed, didn't he?"

A slight noise came from the counter. Suri was trying to jump down when Nightingale grabbed her shoulder.

"Hang in there a little longer," Nightingale whispered in his ear, her breath brushing against his earlobe. "Just do it to help these children."

Su Rui's ears turned red again. He turned his face away, but didn't struggle anymore.

A little girl with braided pigtails timidly approached the counter, clutching a wildflower in her hand. She tiptoed, placed the flower beside Su Rui, and then ran away quickly.

Su Rui stared blankly at the white wildflower glistening with dew. A barely perceptible tenderness flickered in her dark eyes.

"Looks like it's working well." Shining's voice came from behind the medicine cabinet, "But what if Platinum saw this..."

Su Rui's fingers suddenly tightened, crumpling the hem of his trench coat. He looked up at the window, where sunlight cast dappled patterns of light on the glass.

"Has she arrived in Syracuse?" Suri suddenly asked, her voice very soft.

Nightingale paused in her work, sorting through medical records. "It should be soon. I received word this morning that she's found a lead."

Su Rui gave a soft "hmm," his gaze returning to the wildflower. He touched the petals with his fingertips, dew wetting his slender fingers.

"She will come back safely," Nightingale said, her voice gentle yet firm.

Suri didn't answer, but jumped down from the counter. His black trench coat billowed in an arc as he walked deeper into the medical station, his boots making a clear sound on the floor.

The afternoon sun slanted through the blinds, casting dappled shadows on the medical station floor. Suri sat at his desk, his black hair falling over his eyes, his long, slender fingers flipping through a medical record. Nightingale approached with a cup of hot tea and gently placed it beside him.

"Take a break," she said softly, her fingers casually brushing aside the stray hairs on Su Rui's forehead.

Su Rui frowned slightly, but did not pull away. Nightingale's fingertips gently pressed on his temple, carrying a faint herbal scent.

"Are you tired?" She leaned down, her breath almost touching his earlobe.

A blush crept onto the tips of Su Rui's ears, and he tilted his head slightly: "...It's alright."

Shining emerged from behind the medicine cabinet, carrying a thin blanket. She went straight behind Su Rui, draped the blanket over his shoulders, and gently kneaded his shoulders with her fingers.

"You're too tense." Shining's voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.

Suri's body stiffened for a moment. Nightingale and Shining stood on either side of him, their presence enveloping him. He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting small shadows on his face.

I don't need—

"Shh." Nightingale gently pressed her index finger to his lips. "Don't always be so stubborn."

Su Rui's lips pressed into a thin line, a hint of helplessness flashing in his dark eyes. He let them do as they pleased, like a black cat being carefully cared for.

The white wildflowers on the counter had been moved to Suri's desk and placed in a small glass vase. Nightingale's fingers traced the petals as she said meaningfully, "I really wish some people could be as well-behaved as this flower."

Shining gave a soft hum, his fingers sliding from Suri's shoulder to his wrist, his fingertips gently tracing his pulse: "She'd better stay in Syracuse a few more days."

Su Rui raised her eyes, a warning glint in her dark pupils: "Enough is enough."

Nightingale and Shining exchanged a glance and chuckled softly at the same time.

"Jealous?" Nightingale tilted her head, her hair falling onto Suri's shoulder.

"We just care about you," Shining added, her fingers intertwining with his even more brazenly.

Su Rui took a deep breath, about to say something, when the door to the medical station was suddenly pushed open. A patient timidly peeked in: "Um...am I disturbing you...?"

The three turned their heads simultaneously, and Su Rui immediately stood up, her black trench coat billowing with the movement. Nightingale and Flash took a step back nonchalantly, as if the intimacy from just moments before had never happened.

"Come in." Su Rui's voice returned to its usual indifference, but the blush on her ears had not completely faded.

The patient cautiously entered, his gaze shifting between the three women. Nightingale had already donned a professional smile, while Shining turned to prepare the medication. Only Suri stood still, her eyes beneath her black hair shimmering slightly, like stars half-hidden in the night sky by clouds.

After the patient followed Nightingale to the examination room, Shining returned to Suri's side, gently hooking her finger around his little finger: "Come to my room tonight, I'll give you a check-up."

Su Rui withdrew her hand, her dark eyes flashing a warning: "Don't go too far."

"Who's being unreasonable?" Shining glanced meaningfully towards the door. "Isn't that guy who's always clinging to you the most unreasonable one?"

Su Rui didn't answer, and turned to walk towards the filing cabinet. But his back was noticeably stiffer than usual.

Nightingale emerged from the consultation room and, seeing this scene, a faint smile played on her lips. She walked to Su Rui's side, and under the guise of picking up some documents, her shoulder lightly brushed against his arm.

"I made your favorite soup tonight," she whispered, her voice only audible to the two of them.

Suri's fingers paused on the document for a second before continuing to turn the page. But the slight movement of his Adam's apple betrayed his inner turmoil.

Volume 12, Chapter 728: The situation is gradually improving.

The newly appointed representative of the Business Federation was reporting on the progress of the project on the phone. Su Rui leaned against his desk, his dark eyes lowered, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the surface. Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft glow on his cold, handsome features.

"The medical subsidies for infected individuals have been implemented, and the first batch of inhibitors has been successfully distributed..." The voice on the other end of the phone was respectful and cautious.

Su Rui gave a soft "hmm" and was about to respond when he suddenly felt a warm sensation behind him. Nightingale had appeared behind him without him noticing, her slender arms encircling his waist and her chin resting gently on his shoulder.

"You've worked hard," she whispered in his ear, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe.

Suri stiffened slightly, but before he could react, Shining had already moved closer from the other side. She sat directly on the edge of the desk, stretching out her long legs and encircling Suri between herself and Nightingale.

"Continue reporting," Shining said into the phone, his fingers casually playing with a strand of Suri's black hair.

There was a noticeable pause on the other end of the phone before the person stammered, "Ah... yes, yes! Also, the expansion plan for the Oripathy Specialty Hospital..."

Suri's brow furrowed even more. He tried to break free, but Nightingale's arms were gentle yet firm, and Shining even reached out and pressed down on his shoulder, rendering him immobile.

"...It's expected to be operational next month." The voice on the phone trailed off. "Um...Lord Suri? Are you still listening?"

Suri took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice steady: "Continue."

Nightingale chuckled, her lips almost touching his earlobe: "Don't be so nervous." Her fingers gently traced his chest, feeling his heartbeat through his shirt.

Shining became even more audacious, her fingertips sliding from Suri's hair to the back of his neck, lightly caressing that sensitive skin. Suri's breathing visibly faltered, a hint of annoyance flashing in his dark eyes, yet he was helpless.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to sense something and quickly ended the report: "Um... if there are no further instructions, I'll go ahead..."

"Mmm." Suri practically spat out the word through gritted teeth.

The moment the call ended, Su Rui whirled around, her black hair slightly disheveled from the sudden movement: "You guys—"

Instead of retreating, Nightingale pressed him against the desk, bracing herself on either side of his body. Shining pressed against him from behind, her fingers slowly sliding down his spine.

"What's wrong with us?" Nightingale tilted her head, revealing a gentle yet dangerous smile.

"Just trying to help you relax," Shining whispered in his ear, a hint of amusement in her voice. "You've been really tired lately."

Surrounded by the two, Su Rui's dark eyes flashed with a rare hint of panic. His earlobes were already bloodshot, and his fingers gripped the edge of the table so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"...Enough is enough." His voice was a few decibels lower than usual.

Nightingale and Shining exchanged a glance, but instead of backing down, they intensified their actions. Nightingale's fingers gently unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, while Shining bit his earlobe.

Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire room in a warm glow. Inside the office, only Su Rui's disordered breathing and the triumphant chuckles of the two women remained.

The setting sun cast a warm amber glow through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the entire office in its golden light. Suri was trapped between the desk and Nightingale and Shining, his shirt collar slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbone. His dark hair was somewhat disheveled, and his breathing was noticeably more rapid than usual, yet he struggled to maintain his composure.

"You..." His voice was low and warning, but the last syllable trembled slightly.

The nightingale didn't give him a chance to finish speaking.

She suddenly leaned down, her soft lips covering his. The kiss was gentle yet irresistible, carrying a faint herbal scent, like a carefully blended calming tea, utterly irresistible. Suri's pupils dilated slightly, his fingers instinctively tightening their grip on the edge of the table, but he unconsciously loosened his grip when Nightingale's tongue lightly brushed across his lips.

Shining pressed close from behind, her lips brushing against his reddened earlobe, and gently bit it: "Relax..."

Suri's body trembled violently. Nightingale seized the opportunity to deepen the kiss, running her fingers through his dark hair and pressing him towards her. His breathing became completely erratic, and his hands, which had been pushing her away, had somehow found themselves gripping Nightingale's collar, his knuckles turning slightly white.

Shining chuckled softly, her lips sliding down his earlobe and lingering on his sensitive neck. Her fingers unbuttoned his second button, her warm palm pressed against his chest, feeling his racing heartbeat.

"...Enough..." Su Rui turned his head away with difficulty, his voice hoarse beyond words. His lips were glistening from the kiss, and his dark eyes were veiled with a rare mistiness.

Nightingale, still savoring the moment, wiped his lips with her thumb: "Clearly, I liked it very much."

"You're lying." Shining bit his Adam's apple, satisfied to feel his body tense instantly. "Your heart is beating so fast..."

Before Su Rui could say anything more, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Lord Su Rui?" came the hesitant voice of the assistant from outside the door. "There are urgent documents that require your signature..."

The three of them stopped moving at the same time.

Nightingale and Shining exchanged a glance and reluctantly stepped back. Suri immediately straightened up, frantically straightening his disheveled shirt and hair. The tips of his ears were almost transparently red, and even his neck had a faint pink tinge.

"...Come in." He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice regain its usual calmness.

When the assistant pushed open the door, she saw Suri standing by the window, her black trench coat neatly draped over her shoulders, as if nothing had happened. Nightingale was organizing her medicine kit, while Shining was flipping through documents; both of them appeared completely unconcerned.

only......

The assistant blinked.

Why are Lady Suri's lips so red? Why is her collar all wrinkled? And those two medical operators... why are Miss Nightingale's fingertips trembling slightly? Why is Miss Shining's earlobes blushing suspiciously?

"The document." Su Rui's cold voice interrupted the assistant's wild thoughts.

"Ah...yes!" The assistant hurriedly handed over the documents, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a blurry lip print on the desk—judging by the color of the lipstick, it seemed to be Miss Nightingale's...

After signing, Su Rui slammed the document onto her assistant's chest and said, "Get out."

The assistant fled as if escaping, and as he closed the door, he seemed to hear Miss Shining chuckle softly.

The moment the door closed, Su Rui was pressed against the French windows. Nightingale hugged him from behind, her lips brushing against his burning ear: "Continue?"

Shining stood before him, hooking her fingers around his tie and pulling him towards her: "This time... don't even think about escaping."

Outside the window, the last rays of the setting sun were swallowed by the night. Meanwhile, in distant Syracuse, a silver-haired assassin, tracking his target, suddenly felt a strange pang of unease. "...Strange," Platinum frowned, rubbing his chest. "I feel like something important has been stolen..."

Volume 12, page 729: Work completed.

The nights in Kazimierz are always a little chilly, and the neon lights between the high-rise buildings cast dappled colors on the glass windows. Suri sat at his desk, his fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard, the blue light from the screen reflecting on his sharply defined profile.

“The medical resources in the infected community have been redistributed. Next is…” he muttered to himself, his fingertips pausing on the keyboard as if he were thinking about something.

Just then, a pair of soft hands gently wrapped around his shoulders from behind.

"Still working?" Nightingale's voice rang in his ears, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe.

Su Rui's fingertips paused slightly, but she quickly resumed typing: "Hmm, there are still a few documents to process."

Nightingale rested her chin gently on his shoulder, her golden hair falling and brushing against his neck. Her fingers lightly traced his collarbone, with a hint of teasing: "It's very late."

Suri's Adam's apple bobbed, but her tone remained calm: "Wait another ten minutes."

Nightingale chuckled, her lips almost touching his earlobe: "Ten minutes...that's too long."

Su Rui mistyped a letter on the keyboard. He took a deep breath and was about to speak when the office door was gently pushed open.

Shining walked in, carrying a steaming cup of coffee. Her grey-purple eyes swept over Nightingale's arm around Suri, and a slight smile played on her lips: "Excuse me?"

Nightingale didn't let go; instead, she hugged Suri even tighter: "No, you've come at the perfect time."

Shining placed the coffee on the table, then walked straight to Suri's other side, gently placing her long fingers on his shoulder: "Coffee, to perk you up."

Suri glanced at the coffee, then at the two people on either side of her, and sighed helplessly: "You guys did this on purpose?"

Nightingale blinked, looking completely innocent: "What on purpose?"

Shining leaned down and whispered in his ear, her voice low, "I just wanted you to rest."

Suri's ears turned red instantly, and he subconsciously tensed up, but Nightingale's fingers had already slid to his chest and gently pressed on his heartbeat.

"Your heart is beating so fast?" she chuckled. "Nervous?"

Suri closed her eyes briefly, trying to make her voice sound calm: "...You all go out first."

“No.” Shining refused decisively, her fingers sliding down his shoulder to his wrist, gently holding it. “We’ll wait for you.”

Nightingale's lips brushed against his neck, giving him a gentle kiss: "Let's finish work quickly, okay?"
