Chapter 822: Chapter 321: The Second Tragedy, The Conclusion of the Lecture, One Must Heed Advice!
"I’m dying of laughter. This guy Dean Hu really has zero martial ethics. Good thing it was Dr. Zhang up there—any other doctor and 99% they would’ve crashed and burned."
Everyone agreed with what Principal Feng and Dean Shen said.
Because they’d all seen it themselves today.
Especially earlier today, when they thought Dean Shen calling up a sports student was just him protecting his own calf and making things easier for his student.
Only later did they find out.
Turns out he’d long known that Yunzhou was sick.
It was part of the exam question.
One after another, they all said things like, "You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, Old Shen—we never thought you’d look so upright on the surface while secretly digging a pit for your own student," and so on.
"Huge thanks to everyone, and to all the friends in the livestream for your support. Let’s wrap up today’s lecture and stream here~, bye-bye~"
Zhang Lingchuan still had something to say.
Which was to give the final farewell to the viewers.
"Bye-bye~"
"See you~"
"It’s over again already, how did time fly by so fast?!"
"Dr. Zhang, when’s the next livestream?"
"Yeah, you haven’t streamed in so long! Time to come online!"
"Exactly, exactly. Xiaosong posts new videos all the time, Dr. Zhang you weren’t just busy going out to play with Xiaosong this whole time, were you?"
The viewers in the livestream saw Zhang Lingchuan saying goodbye to them.
They immediately started asking questions.
And at that moment, the big screen behind him that had been showing his PPT—whether to match the ending mood or for some other reason—switched over to the livestream interface.
Lines of bullet comments shot out.
"Seeing everyone asking about the next livestream, if nothing unexpected happens we’ll probably start at the end of the month. Same as the previous rural revitalization streams, we’ll be going to another region to broadcast. This time the location will be Da Liang Mountain. You’re all welcome to come watch the stream then."
Zhang Lingchuan directly ignored the bullet comments about him going out to play with Xiaosong.
Instead he answered the question most people were asking—when the next livestream would be.
After all, it wasn’t great to talk about private matters here.
Plus, the livestream peak had just broken three million people; it was a good chance to plug that upcoming stream.
Wanqing had said earlier, too.
They’d have to promote themselves later on.
"Woah—Qingqing, look, so many people chatting."
"Qingqing, tell us the truth—have you taken down Senior Zhang yet... that one~~"
Zhang Lingchuan might ignore it.
But the roommates sitting below the stage with Song Wanqing definitely couldn’t.
They all started gossiping at once.
Some of them even made that gesture where you bump your two thumbs together.
In this context, that gesture.
Yeah, it couldn’t get any dirtier.
Mainly because she was such a pretty girl—and it’s only because there’s no campus goddess contest these days.
Otherwise Wanqing would absolutely be campus queen.
Her looks were downright busted through the sky.
Even girls would fall for her at a glance, let alone guys.
No one knew how many people were trying to "take her down."
They vaguely remembered that during military training, their dorm never ran out of snacks or drinks.
Wanqing’s account had even been bid up to a sky-high price.
"You’re overthinking, overthinking... Teacher Zhang and I aren’t even a couple yet, how could we possibly have done that..."
Song Wanqing said, half exasperated.
Teacher Zhang was a solid block of wood, but he was just about warmed up now, hehe.
Thinking of that, a bright smile flashed through her heart.
"Huh? You two haven’t even done that yet!"
"I can believe you haven’t done that, but not even being boyfriend and girlfriend—that’s a bit outrageous!"
They all found it utterly unbelievable.
"Qingqing, we’ll help you get him drunk tonight!!"
Suddenly, Tingting clenched her little fists.
They’d already prepared late-night snacks for tonight, and Senior Zhang had agreed.
"Don’t forget, people say alcohol is the best catalyst~"
Hui Mei chimed in at that moment.
After a few drinks, who knows, maybe things would just...
"Didn’t we say no drinking... what if something really happens, no, no way..."
Song Wanqing immediately shook her head.
If he really got drunk, she’d have to take care of Teacher Zhang in the room.
If he genuinely wanted to do that, he was really strong—how could her small frame possibly stop him.
If Teacher Zhang went on to a PhD, she was planning to do a master’s; she definitely couldn’t end up with a big belly.
"Beep beep beep—"
But up on stage.
Just as Zhang Lingchuan finished speaking.
Shen Changming’s phone rang.
"Uh-oh?"
"The phone! Dean Shen’s phone is ringing!"
"Is it from Dean Hu??"
"Are the results out??"
A lot of viewers in the livestream got agitated.
"Dean Shen, is that a call from Dean Hu?"
Chang Lingzhu also asked curiously.
Because earlier Dean Hu had said that when the test results came out, he’d call Dean Shen.
"It’s from Dean Hu, and it’s even a video call."
Shen Changming said.
"Okay then, let’s put it up on the big screen. That way everyone doesn’t have to sit here in suspense. The scheduled time is up, but if you want to hear the video call you can stay in the hall, and if you’re planning to leave you can slip out quietly."
Holding the mic, Feng Xicai addressed the students at the lecture.
But in that moment, not a single person in the hall stood up.
The place was dead silent.
The tech staff did their thing, and as soon as the video call connected, Dean Hu’s figure appeared on the big screen.
But this time, he was already wearing a dark green sterile gown.
He stood there right in front of the camera.
"Huh?"
"Why’d he change into that outfit?"
"Don’t tell me something really happened!?"
The livestream hadn’t been cut yet either.
The viewers were all puzzled by this scene.
"Hiss—"
As for the现场.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Just moments ago, the same Dean Hu who’d been wearing a black overcoat and casual clothes had now changed into a deep green sterile gown.
Even a regular white coat would’ve felt less stressful than this.
"Looks like things are really bad!"
"Sigh... we told him with Marfan Syndrome he absolutely couldn’t play ball, but Senior Yunzhou just had to go. Sometimes you really have to listen when people warn you!!"
"But Senior Yunzhou is so young, only twenty-two. Didn’t they say the average life expectancy is thirty-two?"
"Cloud Team!!"
Even the non–med students in the hall could see what was going on.
Some people sighed in regret.
Some girls were already wiping their tears.
The guys on the basketball team had red-rimmed eyes.
And Feng Xicai’s expression also turned heavy.
As for Zhang Lingchuan, his heart gave a violent jolt—such a young life. Could it be that when the system showed "send to hospital" and gave a reward instead of restoring vital signs, it was because it knew there would come a day when his vital signs couldn’t be brought back??
"You all see it—I’ve changed into the sterile gown we wear in the operating room. Yes, the news I’m about to give you is a bit heavy. Xiaozhou’s aneurysm really has ruptured, and he’s already on the edge of extreme danger. We now have to immediately perform a composite valved conduit surgery. This is a highly difficult Level 4 operation, with a significant chance he won’t make it off the table."
On camera.
Hu Yaohua spoke with an extremely heavy heart.
He had done everything he could to stop a second tragedy, yet in the end he was still toyed with by fate.
He was once again stepping up to a Bentall surgery table.
