Ch. 116 - Chapter 116: Test the Effect

In the infirmary...

One of Lu Xing's greatest doubts in this life was, 

Does the doctor at school know everything?

How come it feels like they can treat any kind of illness!

Looking at the school doctor who was examining his foot and being a little heavy-handed, Lu Xing scratched his head and asked curiously.

"Sister, what's your major?"

Hmm?

The school doctor seemed to have been triggered by a keyword. She suddenly perked up, stared at Lu Xing, and asked.

"What did you call me?"

Hu Zhongzhong quickly explained, "Aiya, you should call her teacher. Teacher, my classmate really didn't mean to look down on you."

Lu Xing drew out his voice innocently, his bright eyes staring at the school doctor. "Can't I call you sister?"

An improved version, learned from the senior sister.

Test the effect.

The school doctor stared at Lu Xing's pure and good eyes, suddenly burst out laughing, her brow smoothing out.

"Of course you can call me sister."

Hu Zhongzhong: Huh???

'This works too???'

The school doctor's movements in examining Lu Xing's foot became much gentler, and her tone also became much kinder. She said with a smile.

"My major is veterinary medicine."

'Holy f*ck!'

'Veterinary medicine?'

Hu Zhongzhong was dumbfounded.

Lu Xing paused for a moment and carefully discerned the expression on the school doctor's face.

'Mm.'

She's joking.

So Lu Xing not only didn't question the school doctor's profession, but also went along with her in a very regretful tone.

"I also wanted to study veterinary medicine before. Little animals are so cute, but cats and dogs don't like me."

His tone dropped.

The school doctor was taken aback for a moment.

'Damn it!'

'She really deserves to die!'

The school doctor suddenly couldn't bear to tease this child anymore, so she comforted him. 

"It's okay. My brother owns a pet shop. I'll give you his contact information. You can go and see it when you're free. The little animals in the shop are very well-behaved. Petting and teasing them is free."

After that.

All the students who came to the school hospital were horrified to find that the school doctor, who was previously known as the "Rage King," was actually smiling and helping a student out the door.

F*cking seeing a ghost!

"Master Lu, you haven't fallen for that school doctor, have you? She's at least almost forty!"

Hu Zhongzhong said with horror.

Lu Xing turned his head to look at him. "What did I tell you when I came here just now?"

"You said you'd teach me a few tricks. You didn't... huh? Was it that kind of thing just now?!" Hu Zhongzhong suddenly came back to his senses.

No, bro!

Can't you give me a heads-up before you start teaching!

"What the hell am I supposed to learn from that!"

Lu Xing refused Hu Zhongzhong's invitation to be carried and found a place to sit that wasn't in the way.

With Hu Zhongzhong's strength, it was already an overdraft to carry him here. He didn't dare to let Hu Zhongzhong continue to carry him.

Lu Xing stretched out his sprained leg and said with a smile.

"These things are for when you meet someone you want to be friends with. Don't use them on just anyone."

Hu Zhongzhong sat down beside Lu Xing, his face full of a desire for knowledge as he said.

"Then if I do this to everyone, will I become a lady-killer?"

Lu Xing glanced at him. "No, you'll become an idiot."

Hu Zhongzhong: ...

You cold and heartless man, I will never forgive you!

Lu Xing sighed and said leisurely.

"When you're socializing, if you have a goal, it's right to lower your stance. But if you have no goal, don't just go and please everyone."

Hu Zhongzhong asked with some worry, "Then will people say I'm a snob?"

Lu Xing smiled. "Then if I change 'snob' to 'one who can assess the situation,' doesn't that sound a little better?"

"Don't always listen to others' evaluations. Have your own judgment."

"If someone says you're selfish, it means they didn't get to take advantage of you.

If they say you're domineering, it means you're too opinionated and not easy to control.

If they say you're sensitive, it means you guessed right.

If they say you're not sensible, it means they found you're not as easy to fool as they thought."

Hu Zhongzhong was stunned.

Lu Xing pointed at his heart. "Listen to this. You are the master of your own life."

Hu Zhongzhong was silent.

Hu Zhongzhong thought.

Hu Zhongzhong understood.

"Master! I am enlightened!" He grabbed Lu Xing's arm and said excitedly, "Can I hug you to express my gratitude?"

"Dame~! I will throw you out!" (TL: "Dame" is Japanese for "no good" or "don't.")

Lu Xing immediately refused, vowing to protect his innocence to the death!

But what he said to Hu Zhongzhong was also quite true.

When facing clients, he had to be constantly tense and observe their thoughts.

But when facing others, like Li Dachun, Hu Zhongzhong, the senior sister, and the like, he was not so careful.

Lu Xing thought, perhaps at these times, he was a little more like himself.

...

The two of them sat for a while longer. Hu Zhongzhong felt full of strength after drinking the chicken soup. He patted his own shoulder.

"Master Lu, get on!"

Lu Xing looked at him with confusion. "What are you doing?"

"Huh?" Hu Zhongzhong was dumbfounded. "Weren't you just waiting for me to recover my strength to continue carrying you?"

Lu Xing used his good foot to kick Hu Zhongzhong to the side.

"You're blocking my view."

"Senior sister, here."

Hu Zhongzhong: ???

He looked back.

A girl wearing a black duckbill cap and high-waisted jeans was walking over, holding a... crutch?

Hu Zhongzhong was confused. "Who's that?"

Lu Xing was shocked. "Are you blind at such a young age? Isn't that the senior sister who cosplayed as Elysia? You could recognize Elysia's clothes from a great distance away, and now you can't recognize her?"

Hu Zhongzhong proudly admitted, "We private otakus are like that."

Lu Xing rolled his eyes big time at him.

"Junior brother, is your injury serious?"

Liu Qingqing quickly walked up to Lu Xing. Her small face was covered by the hat, feeling like it could be blocked by one hand. At this moment, her bright eyes revealed a deep worry.

"This is a crutch I used for a leg injury before. The quality is very good. Here."

Lu Xing took the crutch and tried it. It was quite useful. He was just wondering why this senior sister had asked him to wait on WeChat.

"The injury is not serious. It will be fine after a couple of days of rest. Thank you, senior sister."

Although he said that, Liu Qingqing still looked a little worried, seeing Lu Xing leaning on the crutch.

With this worry, she couldn't help but glance at Hu Zhongzhong.

'How is this kid not stronger? If he were stronger, he could carry Lu Xing!'

The hair on Hu Zhongzhong's back stood up. He always felt like he was being... looked down on?

'An illusion?'

'It must be an illusion!'

A few minutes later

Lu Xing saw the senior sister still following beside him and asked with amusement, 

"Senior sister, are you going to walk me all the way to the car?"

Liu Qingqing said softly, "Let me see you off."

This senior sister had even given him a crutch. Lu Xing really didn't want to make her run this trip again. So he thought for a moment and used the crutch to draw an inconspicuous dividing line on the ground.

"Just see me off to here. You can't cross this line."

Liu Qingqing froze; the sudden, commanding tone sent tingling shock through her.

Subconsciously.

She stopped behind that line.

Lu Xing was satisfied. He turned his head and waved at the senior sister. 

"Bye-bye, senior sister. If you need your clothes altered, just tell me on WeChat, my skills are not low!"

Liu Qingqing nodded. "You have to be careful. Walk slowly..."

After listening to the senior sister's nagging for a few sentences, Lu Xing inconspicuously quickened his pace and left.

Sigh.

This senior sister is quite a chatterbox.

Watching Lu Xing's departing back, Liu Qingqing's mind constantly replayed the sentence he had just said and his expression when he said it.

'You can't cross this line...'

So forceful, so familiar.
