University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 351 - 285: You Left the Girl on the Road and Went for a Spa Yourself?

"Is he still alive now?"

"Is he in the hospital, or at school?"

"Does he need a referral form from the school hospital?"

From the phone.

The counselor for the student involved had just started speaking when they were hit with three questions from Chen Mu.

The person on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent for a moment.

As if...

Trying to find the words, "Well... Dr. Chen... he's not at the school, nor is he in the hospital..."

"He's at a bath center right now..."

Chen Mu was baffled, "Huh?"

—

"What??? You left the girl halfway and went for a bath yourself?"

"So, only Ning Ning persisted in biking 175 kilometers?"

"If you didn't want to ride anymore, at least inform your schoolmate!"

"Is it just me, or is it strange that a bath center costs at least a three-digit amount? This student's allowance must be quite sufficient?"

"No worries, once his parents find out he went to a bath center, his allowance won't be that sufficient anymore!"

"!!!"

"The brother on the stream chat makes a lot of sense, so here's the question, how do we let his parents know that their son went to a bath center?"

"Get it trending on social media?!"

"Great! I love doing naughty things like this, I'll join you in getting it trending!"

"My allowance isn't much either, so why does he have money for a fancy bath? It's unfair!!"

"..."

—

"Is this information certain?"

Chen Mu sipped on his milk tea, the flavor hadn't changed, making him realize he wasn't hallucinating.

The counselor on the other end sounded filled with apologies, "Sorry, Dr. Chen, our student's caused a major misunderstanding for the school hospital..."

"But this kid really is at the bath center right now, here's what happened..."

Yesterday at dawn.

The boy was annoyed at Ning Ning's slow biking speed, so he went off on his own.

Along the way.

He saw a huge advertisement for a bath center, which offered three buffet meals and a bath ticket for just 188.

At that moment, the boy felt he could eat a whole cow.

Just 188 bucks, and he thought he could easily eat his money's worth?!

At that time.

The boy completely forgot about riding back to school, returned the shared bike, and entered the bath center without looking back.

Chen Mu: "Is it that this student contacted you to clarify after seeing the livestream?"

It seemed Chen Mu's words struck a nerve with the counselor on the other end.

The person fell silent again.

But...

Knowing the student wasn't in any life-threatening danger, Chen Mu wasn't too worried.

Calmly sipping his milk tea, waiting for the person on the phone to reply.

After a while.

A sigh came through the phone, with the student's counselor almost in tears, "Dr. Chen, I'm at the police station right now."

Chen Mu: "Huh?"

The student's counselor: "That bath center wasn't exactly reputable, a police crackdown brought all the customers to the station."

This twist was unexpected for Chen Mu.

"He also..."

The student's counselor snorted, "Someone who could leave a girl on the road couldn't possibly have ulterior motives."

"Out of all the customers at the bath center, he was the only one not involved in anything shady, he just..."

"When the police arrived, he was still devouring all-you-can-eat crawfish, eating ten pounds by himself! Even insisted on taking a plate with him when leaving, claiming he paid for unlimited..."

"I'm at the police station, and the passing cops can't help but laugh at him, I'm so embarrassed!"

Chen Mu: "..."

He stiffly hung up the phone.

The fellow doctor across from him was also quite thickheaded.

Beaming at Chen Mu with a thumbs up, "As expected of Hai City University."

Chen Mu: "!!!"

—

"What's 'as expected of Hai City University'? We Hai University students feel discriminated against!"

"Why the discrimination? Talk to your fragile schoolmates!"

"Wah..."

"Even the cops didn't expect someone was there for the buffet."

"Ten pounds of crawfish, if he stayed for twenty-four hours, he might have really eaten the worth?"

"This student opened a new world for me, maybe I should consider buffets at these places in the future?"

"Vendor: Out of nowhere, we suddenly got all cleaned up..."

"..."

—

Chen Mu opened his mouth.

Instinctively wanting to defend the students of Hai City University.

But just as he opened his mouth.

Chen Mu suddenly realized, maybe there wasn't much to say.

He sighed.

Looking in one direction, he started to swallow, "How about some fried ribs, the ones at our school cafeteria are pretty good too."

The lab coat didn't even hesitate, "Sure, I'll eat!"

Just as they reached the fried ribs window, the lady working on the ribs immediately spotted Chen Mu's group.

Her face broke into a wide smile, "Dr. Chen is here! The usual?"

With Chen Mu's nod, she happily punched a number into the register, "Then I'll give Dr. Chen a double portion, only charge him one dime."

Chen Mu laughed and nodded, "Thank you."

The lab coat, holding a temporary meal card, got a portion of fried ribs too.

While waiting for the ribs.

The lab coat kept glancing at the livestream camera, looking quite flustered.

The main thing is...

There was once a reporter who came to their school for an interview.

Their principal didn't even get an extra scoop of meat in front of the camera when visiting the cafeteria.

At that moment.

Their principal quoted, not taking a single needle or thread from the masses!

Now Dr. Chen...

Openly took an extra portion of someone's fried ribs on camera, is that even okay...

He knows this kind of situation is common in life, but fears netizens might blow it out of proportion and cyberbully Chen Mu.

Chen Mu, however, wasn't reacting to the incessant stares, as if he didn't notice.

Instead, the cafeteria lady frying the ribs, noticed the lab coat's reaction and asked with a grin, "Student, do you think I'm giving Dr. Chen extra ribs as a privilege..."

His hidden suspicion being outright said.

For a moment.

The lab coat couldn't help but blush.

But facing the cafeteria lady's smiling gaze, he still nodded slightly, "A little bit..."

The cafeteria lady chuckled, "Firstly, this stall operates under a contract system, all the ingredients and earnings are my own, without school subsidies."

"Secondly..."

The curve of her lips widened, "I dare say, even if you brought the Hai City University principal here, I wouldn't give him an extra piece of fried rib."

"Such treatment, in Hai City University, only Dr. Chen receives!"

The cafeteria lady continued boasting, giving Chen Mu all the respect.

Suddenly.

She saw the lab coat raise a hand, "Uh... the principal won't be coming for fried ribs... he's in the ICU at the hospital..."
