Playboy: Medical and Martial Master-Chapter 260: Critical Hit Damage!

Boli Music Academy.

At the bustling school gate.

Perhaps because she had just been "rejuvenated" in the small restroom, the afterglow had yet to fade, and the usually gentle and refined Teacher Lin appeared unusually bold. She ignored the astonished looks from the passing teachers and students, hugging Sun Zhe affectionately in public like a sweet little kitten.

After instructing Sun Zhe for a while, she reluctantly let go of him.

Sun Zhe reached out to tousle her hair, feeling rather speechless. "Shuqing, don't be like that. You're making it sound like we're parting for all eternity."

Hearing this, Lin Shuqing's expression darkened instantly. She pouted coquettishly, "Are you trying to die? Don't you ever say the word 'die' again!"

Sun Zhe was so startled that he quickly shut his mouth. At this moment, he really wanted to ask Lin Shuqing: Didn't you just say it yourself?

Lin Shuqing stared at him sternly. "Did you hear me?"

Sun Zhe shrugged, turned his face away, and muttered under his breath, "Right. And I suppose water isn't wet."

Lin Shuqing immediately understood his jab and pinched him angrily. "How dare you nitpick my words! You wanna die?"

Sun Zhe yelped in pain but didn't dare to dodge. "AH, it hurts... Teacher Lin, this is corporal punishment! I'm going to report you to the Board of Education!"

Lin Shuqing released her grip, suddenly stood on her tiptoes, and gave him a light kiss on the forehead. "Alright, I won't hit you anymore. Go on back and get some rest."

Unbeknownst to her, this kiss on the forehead dealt 10,000 points of critical damage to the passing teachers and students!

A tall and handsome male student suddenly clutched his chest and crouched on the ground, his face a mask of utter devastation.

"AHHH!"

"My goddess!"

"I could have looked the other way when you secretly started dating that little punk, but how could you display your affection in public and even kiss his forehead!"

"AHHH... I can't go on with school!"

"I want to drop out! I'm going to haul bricks on a construction site!"

In the security booth, the elderly security guard watched Sun Zhe and Lin Shuqing being all lovey-dovey, feeling a mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred that made him nearly grit his teeth to dust.

This is just too damn infuriating! At this moment, he wished he could rush over, do away with Sun Zhe, and take his place to enjoy the goddess's tenderness, to taste her sweetness and saltiness! But, he could only fantasize. On a salary of a few thousand a month, he couldn't get a kiss from the goddess even if he worked hard for ten lifetimes. So, he would have to be content admiring her sweetness from afar. As for her saltiness... he couldn't even dream of it! That wasn't something just anyone could taste.

While he was lost in his daydreams, Lin Shuqing walked toward the security booth, arm in arm with Sun Zhe. Seeing the radiant goddess approaching, the security guard immediately perked up, quickly grabbing the sign-out sheet to greet them.

"Hehe, Teacher Lin, we meet again."

Lin Shuqing gave him a gentle, serene, yet polite smile.

The security guard's expression turned serious as he looked at Sun Zhe. "Hello, according to regulations, visitors need to sign out upon leaving and scan this travel code."

Sun Zhe nodded and reached into his pants pocket to pull out his phone. Unexpectedly, as the phone came out, a soft, white, lacy object was pulled out with it, fluttering gently to the ground.

This soft lace item was the very pair of panties that Lin Shuqing had given him as a keepsake after they had gotten wet and she no longer wanted to wear them!

The air suddenly fell silent.

The security guard's body stiffened as if he had been petrified. He slowly lowered his head and stared at the crumpled little panties on the ground, his eyes growing wider and wider.

Those are panties! Oh my God! They have to be Teacher Lin's! And they're still a little damp! If Lin Shuqing's kiss on the forehead was 10,000 points of critical damage, then this was a meteor striking the Earth! He felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. A cold chill ran through him, and life itself seemed to lose all meaning. The goddess's panties were in Sun Zhe's pocket, and they were even damp... The implications were simply too immense to comprehend.

Sun Zhe snapped back to reality and quickly bent down to pick up the panties, stuffing them back into his pocket. He gave the security guard an awkward smile, then pretended nothing had happened and began scanning the travel code with his phone.

Meanwhile, Lin Shuqing's face was as red as a ripe apple. Her delicate body trembled slightly. She desperately wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in. She clenched her fists, overcome by the sudden urge to beat Sun Zhe to a pulp.

She spun around and walked away, her steps so decisive and resolute it was as if she had never met Sun Zhe in her life.

***

Outside the school gate, Sun Zhe got into a taxi under the security guard's admiring and envious gaze.

After getting in, Sun Zhe took out his phone and dialed Su Nanzhi's number, wanting to ask about the progress of the herb-gathering team.

"Nanzhi, what are you doing?"

A cold voice came from the other end of the line. "What's up?"

Sun Zhe got straight to the point. "I wanted to ask you about the herb-gathering team you sent out..."

"Don't rush me," Su Nanzhi's icy voice interrupted him again.

Sun Zhe was momentarily speechless. He knew Su Nanzhi was likely being distant and cold on purpose because of what happened last time.

"Nanzhi, I've run into some trouble and I urgently need those herbs."

Su Nanzhi sounded impatient. "I told you, don't rush me. What good would it do?"

Sun Zhe gave a bitter smile. "You've misunderstood. I'm not trying to rush you, I just wanted to ask about the progress."

Su Nanzhi replied, "The herbs you're asking for are all very difficult to find. How could they be found so easily? They're not like cabbages you can just pick from a field."

Sun Zhe felt a bit helpless. "Alright, I understand. Thanks for your trouble."

Su Nanzhi said, "Rest assured. I, Su Nanzhi, always keep my promises. If there's any news, I'll contact you immediately."

"Thank you, Nanzhi. I really appreciate the trouble you're going to."

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP...

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Su Nanzhi hung up, seemingly unwilling to talk to him for a second longer.

Just then, the driver in the front seat asked, "Where to, boss?"

Sun Zhe put down his phone. "Yangcheng People's Hospital. Drop me off at the south gate."

"You got it. Boss, please fasten your seatbelt."

***

After getting out of the car at the hospital entrance, Sun Zhe didn't go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department but headed directly to the President's office.

After a long chat with Meng Hailiang, Sun Zhe made a trip to the Human Resources department before finally going to the TCM Department Director's office to find Meng Shiyang.

「In the office.」

Staring at the resignation letter Sun Zhe placed on her desk, Meng Shiyang's beautiful eyes trembled, and a mist gradually formed within them. "Master... why are you suddenly resigning, out of the blue?"

Sun Zhe smiled. "It's not sudden. I've been thinking about this for a long time."

"Does my dad know?"

"Yes, I just talked to him. He agreed."

Meng Shiyang suddenly threw herself into Sun Zhe's arms, hugging him tightly. "I don't want you to go! What will I do if you leave?" she cried out. "Master, do you really not want me anymore?"

Looking at the sad and reluctant Meng Shiyang, Sun Zhe sighed silently and gently wrapped his arms around her. "I'm sorry, Shiya. I have my own plans."

"Mm... I know. Master, you're so outstanding and still so young. You can't be trapped in this tiny office for your whole life."

"I'm glad you understand," Sun Zhe said.

Meng Shiyang looked up at him, pouting her moist, fragrant lips. "But Master... before you go, can you give me a few 'parting shots' as a souvenir?"

Sun Zhe was stunned for a moment, then a wicked grin spread across his face. "You little vixen, letting your true colors show, are we?"

"Master, I actually have a fox tail in my bag. Want me to lube it up and stick it in for you to see?"

"Whoa, let's not," Sun Zhe said hastily.
