Principal Situ Nan approached Lin Chen with a look of concern, "Lin Chen, how's your foot? It didn't hurt your bone, did it!"
The onlookers were instantly dumbfounded, "What's the situation here? When did the usually strict principal become so considerate of students?"
Lin Chen grinned, "Emma, my foot hurts so bad, it might be swollen!"
The onlookers were completely flabbergasted. This guy would have made a phenomenal actor, clearly he was the one stepping on others and now he was the one crying out in pain.
Principal Situ Nan's gaze turned to Chen Xiao, "Chen Xiao, you caused this mess, why don't you carry Lin Chen to the infirmary?"
"What!" Chen Xiao's face turned pale in an instant.
His own ribs were almost crushed by this guy; he should be the one going to the infirmary, for goodness' sake.
"Principal, I..." Chen Xiao said with an aggrieved face.
Principal Situ Nan snorted coldly, "Chen Xiao, you started this, so you must take responsibility. If Lin Chen's foot turns out to be fine, that's one thing, but if not, you might as well not stay in the school."
Seeing Principal Situ Nan take such a hard stance, everyone around was instantly stunned.
In terms of status, Chen Xiao was a rich second generation, and behind him was the mighty Chen family; yet Lin Chen was just an ordinary student who came from the countryside to study in the city. Nonetheless, the principal sided with him at every turn.
Quite a few people suddenly remembered how ridiculous what Chen Xiao had just said was.
Lin Chen indeed had neither money nor background, but now Chen Xiao had to carry him to the infirmary.
Chen Xiao's face was ashen, but he knew all too well that his father had made considerable donations to the university to get him in, and if he were expelled, his father would be furious.
Though angry, he still said with a grim face, "Fine, I'll carry him to the infirmary."
Lin Chen was grinning, lying on Chen Xiao's back.
When Lin Chen lay on his back, Chen Xiao felt as though he was carrying a load of a thousand pounds.
Man, how could this guy be so heavy?
Watching Chen Xiao struggle towards the infirmary, An Xiaodi couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Chen Xiao, you're such a loser, can't even carry a person."
Chen Xiao nearly had the impulse to curse out loud, looking at Lin Chen who was thin and weak, yet heavier than a fat man.
As Chen Xiao struggled to carry Lin Chen to the infirmary, the onlookers were shocked with their mouths agape.
Who says you can't win the school beauty without money, who says you'll be bullied without a background, Lin Chen simply subverted everyone's perceptions.
The journey felt like an exhausting ordeal for Chen Xiao, and to make matters worse, Lin Chen on his back kept provoking him.
"Emma, are you for real? You are this tired just from carrying someone. Our family's donkey is stronger than you."
"I think you're not only weak but you might also have some erectile dysfunction. I have a prescription here, do you want it?"
"You're walking so slow. If it were our family's donkey, I would have whipped it by now."
If Principal Situ Nan hadn't been there, Chen Xiao would have flown into a rage long ago.
Although it was only a few hundred meters, Chen Xiao felt as if it was an arduous Long March.
When he finally placed Lin Chen on the infirmary bed, Chen Xiao was totally spent, collapsing to the ground, panting heavily.
At that moment, a girl in a white lab coat came to the door and said to Principal Situ Nan and Chen Xiao, "Please step outside, I need to examine this student."
The two left the infirmary, and the girl in the white lab coat walked over to Lin Chen.
The girl had an oval face and willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows, with a pair of delicate glasses, less flirtatious, more intelligently beautiful.
Her figure was top-notch, with long, fair legs extending from under her lab coat and paired with a pair of flesh-colored stockings, which made Lin Chen's heart race.
"Where are you feeling uncomfortable?" the girl named Tian Xiaomei asked, pushing up her glasses.
"I, um, I'm not feeling very comfortable here." Lin Chen pointed at several parts of his body.
Tian Xiaomei frowned. Lin Chen had almost pointed to every part of his body. How was she supposed to examine him?
"Is it here?" Tian Xiaomei pinched Lin Chen's lower abdomen with her delicate hand.
"Lower," Lin Chen said.
Tian Xiaomei pressed down lower: "Is it here?"
"No, even lower," Lin Chen continued.
By now, Tian Xiaomei's face was slightly red, and Lin Chen found her blushing cheeks amusing.
"Tian teacher, it's down here." Lin Chen pointed carelessly below his navel.
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Tian Xiaomei's face turned even redder. She realized she might have misunderstood.
But as she lightly pressed, nothing seemed to be wrong with Lin Chen at all!
Tian Xiaomei suddenly realized that this young man seemed to be making fun of her, and her brow furrowed into a frown as a cold smile crossed her lips.
She was the school's renowned beautiful doctor, often with students faking illnesses to take advantage of her.
"Is it here?" Tian Xiaomei pressed hard on a painful spot on Lin Chen.
Ordinary students would have been begging for mercy from the pain when she pressed their tender points, but Lin Chen showed no reaction.
"So comfortable, teacher. Your massage technique is just amazing," Lin Chen said with his eyes closed, a look of pure bliss on his face.
"How is that possible?" Tian Xiaomei was stunned.
She had learned traditional Chinese medicine from her grandfather since she was a child, and she was very precise with acupuncture points. The point she had just pressed was one of the body's most vulnerable areas, where just a slight force could cause a sting like needle pricks, yet this man seemed unfazed.
Tian Xiaomei increased the pressure slightly, yet Lin Chen didn't react, and finally, bracing herself, she put forth her full strength, but Lin Chen still showed no sign of discomfort.
Just as Tian Xiaomei was about to get up, Lin Chen, who lay on the bed, suddenly reached out and grabbed her small hand.
Lin Chen naturally knew that Tian Xiaomei had been pressing on his painful spot, and if it weren't for his Inner Strength, he would have cried out in pain long ago.
Taking a loss was not in Lin Chen's character, so when Tian Xiaomei tried to get up, he decided to get a little revenge.
"What are you doing?" Tian Xiaomei cried out in alarm.
"Tian teacher, have you been having trouble sleeping lately, and do you often feel anxious and short of breath?" Lin Chen held Tian Xiaomei's pulse and said.
"How do you know that?" Tian Xiaomei's face showed disbelief.
Lately, her body indeed had some changes, particularly the symptoms Lin Chen mentioned.
But Tian Xiaomei had always assumed it was due to recent fatigue, so she never paid it much mind.
Most importantly, she had not mentioned it to anyone. Could it be that this guy actually knew medicine?
Lin Chen feigned an air of enigmatic knowledge: "Of course I know. After all, I am the so-called Divine Doctor."
"Divine Doctor?" Tian Xiaomei looked Lin Chen up and down, unable to suppress a snort.
"You, a mere kid, dare to call yourself a Divine Doctor? That's a joke," Tian Xiaomei couldn't see Lin Chen as someone skilled in medical arts.
Lin Chen just smiled faintly: "Of course I am a Divine Doctor, and furthermore, if I massage you a bit, I guarantee all your ailments will immediately be cured."
"Is that true?" Tian Xiaomei looked at Lin Chen with skepticism.
"Believe it or not, up to you. Oh, but let me remind you, these are just early symptoms. If you don't pay attention, it could lead to nervous exhaustion, and even affect your future happiness," Lin Chen said with a serious face.
