University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 703: Chapter 523: A House Call Requires a Dress Code?

"Poor thing! Really too pitiful!"

"Yet there’s something endearing about it! Speaking of which, they do the night shifts here every day, almost made me forget, compared to the crispy freshmen at Hai City University, they’re not that much older..."

"..."

—

"What should I do then, how about I stay back, and when our classmates return, I’ll join them!"

"The two of us could skip the school bus, arrive at the Hai City University Hospital earlier, this way we can meet Dr. Chen during his shifts."

It’s the girl with the ponytail who offered to see Xu Hui off earlier.

She said this as she felt responsible.

If it weren’t for her presence, her classmate wouldn’t have missed their practice opportunity.

If that classmate can’t practice temporarily, she also...

This isn’t unfeasible either.

Just as Chen Mu was about to respond to the girl, the hospital phone rang again, as if urging the reaper.

After hearing the cry for help.

Chen Mu’s expression turned a bit complicated.

Then he pulled a small box from under the table, randomly selected an intern doctor dressed in long sleeves and pants, "The distress call from the girls’ dormitory at Apartment 7, you come along with me."

"The call from the girls’ dormitory, Dr. Chen, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to take a female doctor?"

An intern, seeing Chen Mu personally making a house call, instinctively thought it was a learning opportunity.

Attempted to claim it for himself.

Chen Mu paused, "I know you might have doubts, you can see the answer you want in the live stream later, this time it’s not some complicated case, and a girl isn’t suitable."

Leaving such a statement.

Potentially being scolded for workplace gender discrimination, Chen Mu hurriedly took the chosen intern downstairs.

—

"Though I don’t know what’s happening yet, I’m willing to trust every decision Dr. Chen makes."

"???"

"Sometimes it’s really hard to understand, these days even a school doctor has diehard fans defending him?"

"Exactly! Going to the girls’ dormitory to treat a patient, wouldn’t a female doctor be more suitable? Dr. Chen specifically took a male doctor this time, can’t have good intentions, I’m really disgusted!"

"That such a trash person is being praised, really unbelievable."

"I’m a girl, and I’m willing to trust Dr. Chen too, because Dr. Chen knows the live cameras are on, I don’t believe a doctor with such great skills would say something so foolish, let’s just watch a bit more and understand the full story as Dr. Chen said?"

"Yeah, arguing in the comments won’t change anything, better to calm down and see what else Dr. Chen might say afterwards."

"Or perhaps what they do after arriving at Apartment 7."

"..."

—

"Dr. Chen..."

"Among us interns, I’m not the strongest, not the smartest, and not the most skilled professionally."

"Why did you choose me out of so many classmates?"

After getting in the car.

As the campus ambulance drove through the night.

The intern looked at Chen Mu with shining eyes.

He had a premonition!

Dr. Chen picked only him among so many people.

Must be especially appreciative of him!

He prepared himself to hear praises from Dr. Chen.

The intern looked gleefully at Chen Mu, awaiting Dr. Chen’s compliments.

But who knew...

What he got was only a teasing glance from Chen Mu.

Intern: "???"

Not sure if he was reading too much into it, but after meeting Chen Mu’s gaze, his excitement wasn’t as strong as before.

It felt like...

The reason Dr. Chen took him alone for the late night house call wasn’t as wonderful as he imagined.

Indeed.

The next moment.

Chen Mu’s chilly voice reached his ear: "Don’t overthink things, the reason I’m taking you to Apartment 7 has nothing to do with what you’re guessing..."

"Oh..."

The intern felt his enthusiastic heart being doused in cold water by Chen Mu.

But after a brief disappointment.

The intern pulled himself together once more.

He looked earnestly at Chen Mu and pressed on, "Dr. Chen, what’s the reason you took me? You only brought me, not others, that means compared to other classmates, I have some advantage in your eyes, right?"

Compared to the intern’s relative excitement.

Chen Mu’s look towards the intern was beyond words.

He organized his words for a while.

Chen Mu wondered for a long time if it would hurt him.

Finally, he decided.

Not to give the intern any unreliable hopes, to tell him the truth.

Chen Mu: "Actually, the only thing different about you is just one thing."

The intern looked excitedly at Chen Mu.

Dr. Chen!!!

Shower me with praise!!!

I’m ready!!!

Chen Mu closed his eyes, reluctant to see the emotion that would follow, "Because among these intern doctors, you’re the only one wearing long-sleeved and long-panted clothing, with tight cuffs."

"I need an assistant dressed in long sleeves and pants."

The intern was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

—

"Hahahaha!!!! He’s so unlucky!!! I’m so happy!!!"

"This story teaches us, sometimes excessive curiosity isn’t necessary, because the answer you’ve been wanting to know might be worlds apart from the answer you hoped for..."

"Doesn’t anyone think Dr. Chen is really cruel? This intern is just a kid fresh out of school, does he really need to see the harsh truths of the world? Hahaha!!!"

"I initially thought you genuinely sympathized with him, but seeing your ’hahaha’ at the end, I knew you spared no mercy!"

"Isn’t anyone curious why wearing long sleeves and pants is special?"

"Kinda special, Hai City’s over thirty degrees, and it’s late at night, there’s no UV, someone still wearing long sleeves and pants must have a unique constitution, right?"

"Indeed, I’m in Hai City with the air conditioning on, just wearing a tank top, it’s too hot!"

"Could it be that this guy’s special constitution is why Dr. Chen specifically took him along?"

"Can’t rule out the possibility, I’ve read some medical novels where people with special constitutions can have life-saving blood, could Dr. Chen be planning to use his blood to save someone?"

"Though it sounds powerful, maybe hold your imagination back a bit, I doubt what you’re suggesting can be broadcasted."

"Exactly, if such content aired, Dr. Chen might be taken away by the cap on the spot, right?"

"But if that’s not it, I can’t think of a scenario where no female doctor is needed, and a long-sleeved doctor is a necessity, what a magical situation, and what a magical patient?"

"Instead of all of us guessing here, why not wait for Dr. Chen to reveal the answer directly?"

"Yeah, when that female doctor questioned earlier, Dr. Chen said to watch the live stream later, once at Apartment 7, we might find out what really happened..."

"..."

—

"Dr. Chen, may I ask, why the long sleeves and pants?"

The intern looked at his clothes.

Apart from not matching the season, he couldn’t think of anything special.

He could only look eagerly at Chen Mu.

Waiting for an answer to a question he was curious about from Chen Mu.

The next second.

Chen Mu’s incredibly flat voice sounded again: "Oh, here’s the thing..."

"In the girls’ dormitory, Apartment 7, there’s been an incident of a snake bite, I need to go catch the snake, and you need to administer serum to the patient on-site."

Intern: "..."

Chen Mu: "Wearing long sleeves and pants reduces the risk of being bitten."

Intern: "!!!"
