Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Chen Mu's Breakdown: I'm the School Doctor, Not Your Painkiller!

Chen Mu began to sterilize the Silver Needle.

Seeing the needle, which seemed longer than her own life, Liu Dongdong silently swallowed.

"Doctor, if I faint at the sight of needles, do you have any way to ease my pain?"

Chen Mu paused his sterilizing hand.

He looked up at Liu Dongdong, slightly furrowing his brow, "Why didn't you mention this needle phobia earlier?"

Liu Dongdong looked distressed, "I didn't know acupuncture needles were this long! They're completely different from the IVs I got at the hospital!"

Such a long needle going in!

Will I still live to be 120?!

Chen Mu sighed, "You've never fainted at needles before, just afraid of how acupuncture needles look?"

Liu Dongdong nodded.

Chen Mu's gaze swept around the dormitory and finally landed on the dorm supervisor aunt.

With a cheerful smile, he said, "Sis, care to help out?"

"You've got it!"

As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, the dorm supervisor aunt skillfully rolled up her sleeves.

Liu Dongdong slowly realized something was wrong, "No! This is still being live-streamed! What are you planning to do to kind and gentle me?"

"Dorm supervisor aunt! Aren't you usually the one who takes the best care of us?"

"How can you side with this bad school doctor! Ahhh!!!"

This wasn't the first time the dorm supervisor aunt had collaborated with Chen Mu.

She completely ignored the loud noise Liu Dongdong was making and skillfully covered Liu Dongdong's eyes.

At that very moment.

Chen Mu's hand moved, and the needle was in!

Three Silver Needles quickly sank into several acupuncture points on Liu Dongdong's lower back.

"Wow, these two are so skilled, they must have done this before, right?"

"Don't even mention that little girl, even I, a grown man, would freak out seeing such a long needle!"

"Dr. Chen's hand is really steady; before I could even see clearly, the three needles were in. Isn't he worried about hitting the wrong points?"

"Hiss! If he hit the wrong spot, this girl could be paralyzed!"

"I study traditional Chinese medicine, during a school exam once, a guy actually paralyzed himself, and three senior professors had to intervene on the spot."

"..."

"Huh?"

As the dorm supervisor aunt released her hands covering Liu Dongdong's eyes.

Liu Dongdong blinked gently, "Was it my illusion, or does the place I twisted still not move, but it doesn't seem as painful as before…"

Chen Mu: "That's because the acupuncture needle is already in you!"

"Ah?"

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

Liu Dongdong screamed as she tried to turn around to look at the needles on her body, but a big hand held her head still.

Chen Mu sighed, "Don't turn around, if you don't see the needles, you won't be scared."

"If you don't believe me, close your eyes and feel it. If I don't say it, can you feel that there are needles in you?"

Liu Dongdong blinked.

Then obediently closed her eyes and felt seriously.

A moment later.

Liu Dongdong opened her eyes in surprise, "It seems… I really can't feel them?"

With such long needles in her body, she had no feeling at all?

What kind of divine skill is this?!

Liu Dongdong opened her eyes.

Her eyes were bright and stared at Chen Mu.

Here eyes twirled craftily.

Chen Mu silently stepped back and closed his medical case.

He couldn't help but feel.

The way this girl looked at him wasn't friendly at all.

A hidden agenda!

Liu Dongdong grinned as she stared at Chen Mu for a while.

Until she made Chen Mu feel uncomfortable all over, she smiled sweetly and said, "Doctor, are you the school doctor here? What's your surname?"

Chen Mu sighed, "My surname is Chen."

Liu Dongdong squinted her eyes, "Dr. Chen, your acupuncture skills are so impressive. If I have menstrual pain in the future, can I come to you for acupuncture?"

No sooner had Liu Dongdong finished speaking.

The other girls in the room all looked at Chen Mu with bright eyes.

Even the dorm supervisor aunt's gaze towards Chen Mu changed.

Even!

The streaming room chats!

"Oh my! With just one sentence, this girl opened up a new approach to menstrual pain relief!"

"Hiss! As long as Dr. Chen dares to say yes, I'll rush to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital right now!"

"If he nods, within an hour, the school doctor's office might be flooded!"

"I'm an outsider to the school, but I'm thinking, if I go to Hai City University's hospital, would Dr. Chen give me acupuncture?"

"Tsk! You people all know a thing or two about acupuncture!"

"..."

Chen Mu didn't expect Liu Dongdong to come up with such a line for him.

Without thinking much, he nodded.

"Acupuncture for menstrual pain relief is applicable to most people."

"But there is a small portion of people with specific conditions that acupuncture might not help."

"If you want to try acupuncture at the school medical office, you're welcome to try, but I can't guarantee results."

Liu Dongdong beamed, "Then next time I have menstrual pain, I'll come to the school doctor's office to find you!"

"Dr. Chen, can I also come to the school doctor's office for acupuncture?" The girl who brought Chen Mu and the others here asked timidly.

Chen Mu smiled and nodded, "As long as you're from our school, if there's a problem, you can come to the school doctor's office to find me."

The dorm supervisor aunt didn't speak.

But upon hearing Chen Mu's reply, her expression changed noticeably, her eyes turned slightly, plotting something in her mind.

At this point.

The only one present not from Hai City University, Su Bingbing, couldn't sit still.

She gently grabbed Chen Mu's sleeve, tugged a bit, "Dr. Chen, although I'm not from your school, we are currently recording a show together, so we're kind of colleagues, right…"

"If I need acupuncture, can you…"

Chen Mu nodded, speechless, "Sure!"

Su Bingbing's eyes lit up, "I knew it, Dr. Chen is the best!"

Chen Mu waited in the girls' dorm room for about ten minutes.

The emergency medical staff had arrived, and Chen Mu removed the Silver Needles from Liu Dongdong.

He helped the medics lift Liu Dongdong onto a stretcher.

As the ambulance carrying Liu Dongdong drove away.

Su Bingbing suddenly sighed, "Dr. Chen, did you know we once did a program recording the job of emergency doctors?"

"Seeing an ambulance leave from school and seeing one come to the emergency room door are completely different feelings."

Chen Mu turned his head to look at her, "How so?"

Su Bingbing: "Every time I see an ambulance arrive at the emergency room, I feel the patients' outcomes are uncertain, but seeing the students here leave in an ambulance, we know it won't be long before they're back healthy at school."

Hearing Su Bingbing's words.

Chen Mu paused for a moment, really? Is it really as Su Bingbing said?

He glanced at the time.

Chen Mu said to Su Bingbing by his side, "Let's go, back to the school medical office and check. If there's no one, we can clock out today."

Su Bingbing nodded with a smile, "Okay."

As Chen Mu and Su Bingbing approached the school medical office building.

They stopped in their tracks at the scene not far ahead.

In front of the school hospital, there was a long line of students.

Some girls came alone.

Others were accompanied by their boyfriends.

Though they queued very politely, seeing such a long line, Chen Mu felt a wave of darkness overcome him.

The life of a school doctor! It's a life too!
