Love Healing Manual

Chapter 80 Consumption Goals
Lin Ze spent a lot of time thinking about this last night.

He usually lies in bed and reads for a while, and then he naturally feels sleepy. Even if he occasionally has insomnia, he doesn't wake up until the early hours of the morning, and then he gets up and continues reading.

He thought about this matter over and over again, and even considered similar indoor training plans like those proposed by Kitagawa Ayane.

In the end, I still felt it wouldn't work.

I didn't forget about it until this morning when I got busy. I followed Dr. Shinjima, the head of the Department of Gastroenterology, on his rounds in the wards, and also met with professors from the Department of Surgery and the Department of Internal Medicine along with other interns. It was a fulfilling morning.

At noon, after saying goodbye to his friends, including Suzuo Miyagi, he went to find Ayane Kitagawa.

The task must be carried out, but ultimately it depends on the senior's own wishes. This time, Lin Ze decided to discuss it together.

By the way, it's worth mentioning that Kitagawa Ayane's critical condition level dropped by another 1% this morning, and is now at 59%. The 30000 yen reward for completing the mission and the 10000 yen reward for the decrease in critical condition level have all been credited to her bank account.

The funds for treatment have always been sufficient.

“It’s negotiable,” he said calmly.

"No, no, no..." Kitagawa Ayane took two steps back in fright, waving her hands repeatedly. Her delicate face was as red as blood. She said anxiously, "Even in a deserted place, accepting such an arrangement requires a very long time of mental preparation, right?"

She wasn't unfamiliar with the scenes she'd seen in those short videos she'd scrolled through before.

It looks very novel and exciting.

But if it happened to me, I definitely wouldn't be able to accept it!
No matter what, she hasn't been completely alienated into a canine. Especially with Lin Ze's treatment, she has gradually regained her behavioral awareness and can now attribute abnormal behavior to her illness rather than blaming herself.

Even if she is just a dog, as a good dog that doesn't bite people or endanger social stability and security, she doesn't need to have her movements restricted.

No dog truly wants to be chained and have its freedom restricted.

They love their owners, so they can accept this compromise of being tamed.

"I can give you ample time to prepare mentally." Lin Ze thought she just needed time to convince herself.

"Dr. Lin, you've misunderstood me." Even the tips of Kitagawa Ayane's ears turned red.

These ears are perfect for being sliced ​​into a dish of stir-fried vegetables with vinegar and drizzled with chili oil; the aroma is simply irresistible.

"So what do you think?" Lin Ze fully demonstrated his patience as a doctor.

"Could you shorten the time? Just a few minutes, and maybe in a remote place?"

"No."

Upon hearing such a decisive rejection, Kitagawa Ayane felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, as if her entire life had turned gloomy. She slumped to the side, landing on a springy foam board, and then turned around, staring intently at the ceiling.

There is no highlight in the eyes.

"I think the key to the treatment plan is to establish a sense of connection."

"what?"

"Perhaps we can do something about this."

Lin Ze, unusually, crossed his arms and began to consider other possibilities. If not being discovered by others was the top priority, then that kind of shiny silver chain was definitely not an option. Perhaps he could consider finding a rope, the kind that couldn't be seen at night.

He turned his face and looked at the black patterned choker around his senior's neck.

His expression underwent a subtle change.

But Kitagawa Ayane felt his gaze and unconsciously shrank back, her hand instinctively reaching out to protect him.

Lin Ze squatted down, looking at the wary senior.

"In any case, trying is a must. Are you going to work this afternoon?"

"No need today... I quit my job a while ago to go to another city."

"That's perfect. Come with me to the mall. I need to buy you some things."

"Buy...something?"

In fact, a practical solution had already taken shape in Lin Ze's mind.

After a while.

In the equipment room.

Kitagawa Ayane flicked the dust off her socks from walking back and forth on the foam board, and of course, she didn't forget to keep her distance from Lin Ze—although her feet weren't sweaty or smelly, doing so in front of a man was undoubtedly very impolite.

Black over-the-knee stockings covered her straight legs and were very clean.

And those old little leather shoes were placed next to the entrance of the equipment room.

"I'll buy you a pair of athletic shoes first. If you want to exercise every day, these are essential. Otherwise, your feet will be ruined after running for a while. You definitely can't expect to exercise in these shoes," Lin Ze instructed.

"learn."

"Buy another lightweight tracksuit, one that can block the wind and cover the neck area. I remember there are women's clothes like that, with a stand-up collar."

"learn."

"Let's go browse around some more..." Lin Ze paused, thought for a moment, and said, "The place that sells chains."

"A pet shop?" Kitagawa Ayane asked obediently, standing still.

"It's not a pet store, it's a family-run supplies store."

Suddenly, a huge question mark fell from mid-air, leaving Kitagawa Ayane stunned and nearly fainting on the spot.

She didn't understand at first, and her brain went blank for a moment before she could react.

It suddenly occurred to me.

There are indeed shops that exist in large shopping malls, selling furry tails, leather whips, toys, and underwear.

It was euphemistically called a "couples' supplies store".

"Really...really...are you really going?" Kitagawa-senpai asked, trembling.

"Or you can go."

“No, no, no,” Kitagawa-senpai shook her head like a rattle-drum, and said in a restrained little voice, “Then let’s go together.”

"Forget it, let's just buy a couple more outfits," Lin Ze suddenly said.

He suddenly remembered that there were only a few clothes on the clothes rack in Kitagawa Ayane's one-bedroom apartment. She would change them over and over, and once she took one off, she would have to quickly take the other one to wash, otherwise she would have nothing to wear.

With so much money allocated for treatment, Lin Ze himself wouldn't need it.

I might as well take this opportunity to buy some for Ayane Kitagawa as well.

"No way..." Kitagawa-senpai muttered.

"What?" He frowned slightly.

"No...nothing."

"It's alright as long as it's nothing."

After hesitating for a moment, Kitagawa Ayane lowered her head as if thinking about something. Then, she glanced at Lin Ze and mustered up some courage.

“I think I have no objection to buying things that are helpful for the treatment, but as for the rest, since it’s your money, Dr. Lin, I’d rather not…” “Put it on the tab,” he said calmly.

"What if I can't pay it back in the future...?"

Kitagawa Ayane wasn't joking; she was genuinely worried about not being able to pay it back. She didn't know how much she owed for Kobayashi Ze's treatment alone, not to mention other things. She also had loans on her own, and she was already terrified of being in debt.

“If you can’t pay it back, it’s simple. You can come work at my house and pay in full,” Lin Ze said with a rare smile. “My shop just happens to need an assistant, which would be perfect for you.”

Kitagawa Ayane paused for a moment, then nodded.

Since the appointment had been made, and Lin Ze had other things to do in the afternoon, he didn't linger in the equipment room. He only left Kitagawa Ayane with the words, "Don't worry about the money. Just cooperate with the treatment, and that will be the greatest reward," before leaving.

……

weather is good.

Lin Ze walked along the tree-lined avenue, stepping on dappled sunlight as he strolled through the rather old-fashioned campus.

The University of Tokyo naturally has its own unique charm, with old but artistic buildings everywhere you look.

Every university has its own cultural symbols, if one had to describe them.

Ancient, intelligent, international, and understated – these words probably sum up the University of Tokyo.

As Lin Ze walked back to the classroom, he was mentally calculating the expenses he had already spent.

After purchasing materials to build a doghouse in a one-bedroom apartment, he had 27717 yen left in his savings card. Adding the cost of three taxi rides, he spent a total of 7819 yen. He obtained 20000 yen twice by lowering his senior's critical condition level, and 30000 yen from one life intervention task.

So, the total amount in the savings card is now 69898 yen.

He didn't need to worry about the budget at all. He had already decided in the afternoon that it wouldn't matter if he spent a little more to buy clothes for Kitagawa Ayane.

Lin Ze was never a naive person. He did not believe that poverty could create anything, such as the temperament and resilience touted in books, or the excellent qualities of not being afraid of difficulties.

Those things have nothing to do with poverty itself.

On the contrary, a person who is not worried about making a living has more time to expand their spiritual world and enjoy things at a higher level.

He could understand Kitagawa Ayane's own poverty.

This has nothing to do with the knowledge she possesses, nothing to do with her appearance, only to do with her background.

Many people, unlike those depicted in movies and TV shows, don't stand in front of luxury clothing stores, gazing at glittering clothes and secretly vowing in their hearts—"One day in the future, I will definitely buy this dress."

That's a scenario only well-fed rich people would fantasize about.

In fact, most people just walk past the shop window with their heads down, and that's it.

Lin Ze believes he has many excellent qualities, and one he is particularly satisfied with is that he is not naive.

Therefore, he wouldn't tell Kitagawa Ayane that it didn't matter how much money it cost, as it was a gift to her, and that Kitagawa Ayane had no right or reason to enjoy such kindness.

That's a kind of "foolishness".

All the way.

Lin Ze returned to the classroom, where everyone was gathered in small groups, discussing their coursework.

Discussions were taking place.

no doubt.

The task assigned by Section Chief Minamino was a difficult problem for most people.

As soon as they saw him coming, Sano Chizuru and Miyagi Suzuo's eyes lit up and they quickly waved.

"Lin Ze, come and take a look." Miyagi Suzuo said softly.

Before Lin Ze arrived, the class representative, Miyagi Suzuo, was already standing there, checking the logical problems in the report with Chizuru.

She was wearing a gray blazer that looked very expensive, a hair clip in her chestnut hair, and her long legs were encased in thick black stockings.

In terms of height alone, Miyagi's height is actually quite outstanding among all the girls.

Her proportions are exceptionally good.

She's probably a bit taller than Ayane Kitagawa.

Lin Ze walked over and sat down in his seat, took the pen from Miyagi's hand, and began to examine the contents of the case report analysis.

"When I was writing the report yesterday, I summarized some key points, mainly highlighting the important parts and providing detailed explanations with typical examples..."

"For example, in autoimmune liver diseases like AIH, PBC, and PSC, the early symptoms in your case are insidious, with only fatigue and mild jaundice. Easily confused with viral hepatitis and fatty liver, in this case, don't write down the diagnostic criteria yet, but list the differences from other typical symptoms..."

A magnetic and pleasant young voice reached my ears.

Miyagi Suzuo leaned forward, and after getting a little tired, she rested her elbows on Lin Ze's desk and listened attentively to the lecture.

Ask a question every now and then.

Sano Chizuru would occasionally chime in, raising some of her own questions.

Time passed amidst the discussions.

Soon the classroom fell silent, but the three of them, engrossed in the moment, did not know why it was quiet.

Everyone in the class turned their attention to Lin Ze and the class representative.

He listened with a complicated expression.

"It seems... Group 1 is terrifyingly strong," someone suddenly murmured.

Their discussion was a cacophony of voices, leaving everyone confused and unable to find a single correct argument, with them arguing endlessly.

In contrast, look at other people.

"Alright, let's state our views one by one, in an orderly manner."

"Yes, if others can do it, we must do it too. We must write this report well. I don't want to be yelled at by Section Chief Nanye again."

"Should we send someone to learn from their experience and eavesdrop on Group 1?"

"good idea."

Members of other groups also reacted quickly, instead of remaining immersed in their anxiety.

……

The time comes in the afternoon.

At the exit of another street near the University of Tokyo, cross the sidewalk, and stand in front of a shop.

Kitagawa Ayane had already put on a mask and was patiently waiting for Lin Ze to appear.

The two had already discussed their goals for this trip on LINK.

That is "Adult Candy" located on the seventh floor of Ueno Shopping Center in Tokyo.
