When Lin Feng walked into Ning Aoxue's room, he was startled by what he saw. Su Zi was sprawled on the bed, shivering. Her face was pale, her lips were turning blue, and she looked gravely ill...
"How did this happen?" Lin Feng was alarmed by Su Zi's condition. With his medical expertise, he had never heard of any illness that could cause a healthy person like Su Zi to suddenly deteriorate into such a listless and sickly state within just half an hour... Unless she's been poisoned!
"Let me take your pulse..." Seeing Su Zi's state, Lin Feng dared not delay in the slightest. He reached under her duvet, pulled out her right arm, and placed two fingers together on her pulse point...
Su Zi's hand was ice-cold, and her heart was racing!
But, strangely, Lin Feng couldn't detect any abnormalities in Su Zi's pulse...
Subconsciously, Lin Feng thought his medical skills weren't refined enough and had failed to find the cause of Su Zi's illness. So, he then used a stream of Inner Strength, directly inputting it into Su Zi's body to properly soothe her disordered vital energy. Still, he found no problems...
In fact, it was normal for Lin Feng not to find anything wrong with Su Zi... because Su Zi wasn't ill at all. To sabotage the good thing between Lin Feng and Tang Rou, she had truly gone to great lengths. In the current temperature of only around ten degrees, Su Zi had directly poured a basin of cold water over herself, then, without any clothes on, dived straight into bed. Naturally, she looked like she was on the verge of death...
Not only was Lin Feng shocked, but even Ning Aoxue, who knew Su Zi's plan inside and out, was quite frightened by Su Zi's appearance. Ning Aoxue stood to the side, covering her mouth, looking at Su Zi in panic, not daring to speak...
"Su Zi, tell me, is your stomach still hurting a lot?" Lin Feng frowned and asked Su Zi.
"Mmm..." Su Zi nodded weakly. Her beautiful, watery eyes widened, looking pitifully at Lin Feng... This pained expression wasn't entirely feigned; the moment the basin of cold water had splashed down on her, Su Zi had almost screamed out loud!
To deceive Lin Feng, Su Zi was truly putting her life on the line for this act!
"I can't determine the root of the illness from your pulse..." Lin Feng looked at Su Zi very seriously and said in a deep voice, "I need to press your stomach to examine you. Are you willing to let me check? If not, I'll send you to the hospital for emergency treatment right away..."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, a flash of panic crossed Su Zi's eyes. She glanced at Ning Aoxue, her heart deeply conflicted... Send me to the hospital for emergency treatment? Isn't that a joke? I'm not sick or in pain at all. Being hassled by a bunch of doctors in the emergency room, the best outcome would be wasting a few thousand yuan on examination fees. If I unfortunately encounter an unscrupulous clinic, I'd probably have to spend tens of thousands more and get a pile of imported medicines that won't kill me but won't help either...
Su Zi certainly couldn't let Lin Feng take her to the hospital. The only option was what Lin Feng had said: to examine her stomach by pressing it... Originally, Su Zi wouldn't have minded such a small thing. The physical contact during her usual adult jokes with Lin Feng often went beyond this level.
The problem was, Su Zi wasn't wearing any clothes right now...
Even if Lin Feng's medical skills were superb and he could examine Su Zi without lifting the covers, what if his hand accidentally touched something it shouldn't? Su Zi, an innocent maiden, would have her purity utterly ruined...
Unfortunately, Lin Feng wasn't a dawdler. Seeing Su Zi hesitate and not reply, his hand had already slipped under her duvet. He even said righteously, "Your illness can't be delayed... Let me examine you first!"
The next second, Lin Feng's serious expression completely froze, as if he had suddenly seen a ghost. His hand, which had reached under Su Zi's duvet, also seemed to be ice-bound, completely unable to move...
Lin Feng looked somewhat awkward. He had genuinely wanted to examine Su Zi. Although he'd been a bit hasty and hadn't gotten her consent, who could have predicted it would turn out like this? Lin Feng still felt he was truly innocent. However, he figured Su Zi had definitely suffered a great loss, and as a man, it was nothing to let her have her say.
"Alright, I'll go get the car ready first, and then I'll take you to the hospital! Aoxue, you help Su Zi get... dressed. I'll wait for you downstairs!" Lin Feng said to Su Zi, then turned to Ning Aoxue and casually instructed her, before preparing to go downstairs to get the car.
"Who said I'm going to the hospital? I'm not going!" Seeing Lin Feng was about to take her to the hospital, how could Su Zi agree? She said to Lin Feng with great dissatisfaction, "Hmph, Lin Feng, aren't you a Divine Doctor? You cured my foot injury and Aoxue's foot injury. Can't you even handle this minor ailment?"
Lin Feng's face felt rather hot. He did believe his medical skills were excellent, but he truly couldn't find anything wrong with Su Zi's body. What was he to do...
"I admit my medical skills haven't been mastered yet, alright! Let's quickly get you to the hospital for an examination, otherwise I'm afraid your condition will be delayed!" Lin Feng said to Su Zi with a bitter smile.
"Lin Feng, you listen to me, I am absolutely not going to the hospital!" Su Zi stared at Lin Feng, gritting her teeth as she said, "Either you cure me, or even if I die here, I won't take a single step out of this room!"
Damn it, is this girl Su Zi nuts? Who jokes about their own body like this?! Lin Feng was simply speechless at Su Zi's attitude...
He was tempted to just forcibly pick Su Zi up, bedding and all, and send her directly to the hospital...
But to let Su Zi go see a doctor like *this*? Lin Feng couldn't bear the thought!
