Chapter 694: Chapter 519: Those Who’ve Never Dated Yearn Most for Love
"Aren’t we always eating together? When did you start liking a girl?"
"Don’t tell me I didn’t know, the others don’t know either, right?"
"This is such a big deal, and you didn’t say anything. Do you still consider us roommates as brothers?"
"Did you catch that girl yet?"
"How far have you two gotten now?"
Although the boy was verbally reprimanding his roommate,
after hearing his roommate might have a girlfriend, his eyes sparkled with excitement.
Grabbing his roommate’s arm,
he eagerly pressed for information.
That look on his face,
it was almost more excited than if he himself had a crush.
—
"Classmate, wake up. If he did catch her, would he still be willing to go to the cafeteria every day?"
"When you’re saying those things, do you dare to turn around and look at your roommate’s expression? From now on, I’m willing to regard you as the epitome of hitting a sore spot."
"Malnourished classmate: I thought I had a chance to get out of this, but my roommate knocked me back in.""
"This is hilarious. When someone has something on their mind, the last thing they want is that sudden show of concern, thinking it’s well-intentioned, but each word is like a stab."
"Standing from the roommate’s perspective, I can actually understand, seeing as whoever has a crush in our dorm, everyone acts as their strategist!"
"6666!!! A dorm full of single dogs helping others strategize! So awesome!"
"Who are you calling names!"
"Is that considered name-calling? Are you really a single dog?!"
"..."
—
"If he had something going, he would have happily gone out every day by now."
The malnourished boy looked reluctant to speak.
An intern doctor on the side couldn’t help but interject.
The boy studied his roommate’s face closely.
Once confirmed the intern’s words made sense,
his expression instantly changed to one of deep bitterness.
"Didn’t we agree in the dorm before that if someone liked a girl, they should tell their brothers?"
"As the saying goes, three cobblers with their wits combined can outsmart Zhuge Liang. Can’t our entire dorm help you get a girl?"
"Besides!"
"Even if you really didn’t win her over, it shouldn’t be a reason to drag the whole dorm to avoid the cafeteria, right?"
"What is it?"
"Did you do something against that girl’s wishes?"
The boy knew his words might be a bit harsh for his roommate.
However,
from his standpoint,
he didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Given that his roommate previously had a crush, his recent behavior felt too much like a guilty conscience.
Unless something wrong was done.
Why would he feel so guilty?
Due to a little romance, the malnourished boy was first taken aback,
then spoke bitterly: "I already said that’s the girl I like. If we had a chance, I’d hold her dear, why would I do anything against her?"
"Then what is it really?"
"What exactly are you avoiding?"
His roommate just couldn’t understand.
Young boys, indeed at the age where they want to lay everything on the table and reject beating around the bush.
Even if he saw his roommate looking down, he couldn’t help but feel a bit agitated.
"If you don’t make it clear, from tomorrow on, I’ll drag you to eat at the school cafeteria every day."
"After all, Dr. Chen also mentioned that you’re malnourished. As your roommate, I’ll supervise you eating well at the cafeteria and having something healthy!"
Standing aside watching the commotion, Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, this guy is still quick-witted.
The earlier mention of malnutrition can be put to use like this.
To the malnourished boy casting a helpless look at him, Chen Mu showed little reaction.
He simply said, "Otherwise, shall I move the camera away?"
Among young people, it’s best to speak things frankly.
But with the live stream camera...
Chen Mu frowned, looking at the streaming camera beside him.
Though he has gotten used to the camera’s presence these past days and accepted the production team’s presence,
subsequent events involving He Congming made Chen Mu a bit uneasy.
He actually...
has started to question whether producing this show is really necessary.
Perhaps for the production team, it’s a successful show in terms of data.
For long-time viewers of the series, they’ve gained more insight into a previously unfamiliar profession, the school doctor.
For internet jokesters, they have new fodder for daily gossip.
For the school,
facing potentially massive outbreaks, not only did they clear any suspicions, but Hai City University’s outstanding and humane school rules gained much recognition.
But...
for the fragile university students, is filming this show on campus and its online popularity really a good thing?
Take the incident involving He Congming as an example.
He Congming’s car accident led him to hospital, yet rumors of his death circulated online.
Do young, inexperienced university students truly need such exposure?
These thoughts.
These questions.
Kept surfacing in Chen Mu’s mind.
"Dr. Chen, there’s no need. Actually, my story could use the help of viewers in the live stream."
