University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 692: Chapter 518: Malnourished for Someone Else’s Words?

"Is there a lot of study pressure? This intern doctor sure knows how to be sarcastic!"

"Other young people might have a lot of study pressure, like students in their senior year of high school, but this guy doesn’t seem to have any."

"We may not know why others stay up late, but we certainly know why this guy does. It’s because he stays up all night watching livestreams, which is why he’s been brought to the campus clinic."

"Gosh! If we go by this logic, isn’t everyone here in danger?"

"I said I’m not watching livestreams anymore, I’m going to sleep now. Can you stop being sarcastic with me?"

"If you weren’t looking at the bullet screen, how would you know I’m being sarcastic?"

"Or are you already asleep, dreaming, and sleepwalking right now?"

"..."

The guy who came with his roommate certainly wouldn’t miss the chance to see his buddy in a tough spot.

He excitedly added on the side, "His grades are okay; he finished reviewing for finals long ago. He’s been staying up late to watch livestreams, playing games all night, and it has nothing to do with hard work or ambition."

"Oh! He not only keeps irregular hours but also leads our entire dorm to order takeout!"

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

The use of the word "lead" here is kind of interesting.

For crispy college students, on such hot days, it’s normal to not want too much activity and just order takeout in the dorm.

But does ordering takeout really require leadership?

The malnourished boy didn’t even have a chance to explain anything.

Next to him.

His roommate was already excitedly spilling the beans on him completely.

"Dr. Chen, here’s the thing. Originally, the few of us in our dorm planned to go out for meals."

"One reason is that the distance between the apartment and the cafeteria isn’t far, and the cafeteria has free air conditioning, which is cheaper than using the air conditioner in the dorm."

"And another reason is, we’re four single guys in the dorm."

"Isn’t it possible that if we go out to eat, we might meet someone who makes our heart flutter, and then soon we’d have girlfriends?"

"Then if we graduate and our parents start pressing us to get married, we could bring our girlfriends home and tell our families that we have girlfriends!"

"No need for urging!"

Chen Mu saw a hint of admiration in the guy’s eyes, "You’ve really thought this through..."

The guy proudly lifted his head, "Of course!"

"So, originally our dorm all went to the cafeteria to eat. At least for the first month of this semester, the whole dorm went out to eat."

"Until these last two months..."

The guy gave his roommate a disdainful glance.

Relentlessly continued exposing him.

"This guy suddenly started hating going to the cafeteria without any clear reason."

As he said this.

The guy gritted his teeth a bit, "If he just hated going to the cafeteria, that’d be fine, but he doesn’t go himself and won’t let us go either, as if he’s afraid we’ll meet someone there."

Chen Mu noticed.

When the guy said this, the expression on the malnourished patient’s face froze.

This is definitely something fishy!

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow, deep in thought.

Chen Mu didn’t quite understand, "He won’t let you go to the cafeteria to eat, and you actually don’t go?"

He didn’t give any reason either.

A whole dorm, and they’re willing to go this far for a roommate?

At least when Chen Mu was in college, if a roommate made such a request without a reason.

Maybe they’d comply for a few days.

But...

A few days at most, that’s the limit.

But the remaining three in this dorm, according to what they said, managed to persist for a month or two?

Unbelievable.

Chen Mu looked at the malnourished patient.

In his mind.

Thoughts were scattering, thinking.

Could it be...

This guy holds some kind of leverage over his dorm mates?

Other than that,

Chen Mu really couldn’t think of any reason for the other guys to comply like this.

—

"Even Dr. Chen’s gaze looks weird, but I’m more curious about how this guy manages to make his roommates so obedient."

"I’d like to know too. Joking aside, if my roommates were this obedient, I’d have them call me ’Dad’ every day!"

"Hahaha!!! Seriously, I imagined if my roommates called me ’Dad’, it’d be awesome!"

"Better not dream about it. Your roommates would only call you ’Dad’ after beating you. I’ve got my notebook ready. Next is to learn the art of taming roommates from this master. I hope my roommates could write my thesis for me."

"Daring to even imagine having them write your thesis. Why not just have them take your graduate exams too?"

"Is it because I don’t want to? It’s really because my roommates aren’t capable of disguising themselves. Tomorrow, I’ve got to hit the library for some studying. So exhausted!"

"It’s my fault for not having the skill to handle my roommates!"

"..."

—

After hearing Chen Mu’s questioning voice.

The guy’s expression turned a bit awkward.

But he still replied honestly, "Actually, we could choose not to be this obedient, but Dr. Chen, isn’t it almost finals season now?"

"We need a top student to lead us..."

Chen Mu was curious, "Is he that good in academics?"

The guy shook his head, "He’s not in the top three in our class, but he’s really good at grasping the key points. For the past two semesters, under his guidance, all our dorm scores stayed above the pass line."
