After binding with the system, I became a proctology expert.

Lin Bo put his hands on his hips, looked up at the sky, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, I was right, wasn't I? From now on, please call me Master of Emotions, Lin."

Then he changed the subject and urged Lu Renxin: "You have to seize the opportunity. You can't be so indifferent. Jingjing said that being too aloof will make the other person give up."

"You've already missed out on your senior, you can't afford to miss out again this time," Lin Bo earnestly advised.

Lu Renxin turned off his phone, staring intently at the computer screen without giving him a second glance: "Hmm, we'll see, we'll see."

He tried to brush it off with a laugh.

Lin Bo said with exasperation, "You can't even seize opportunities when they come your way. Go ahead and stay single."

It wasn't that Lu Renxin wanted to shut himself off from love; at least he didn't dislike Shen Yueru.

I just feel that romance is not a necessity of life. I'm about to graduate and there are many practical issues to consider.

It's a real waste of energy to take time out of your daily routine of going back and forth between home and work.

Even if they do get together, they'll still have to consider practical issues after graduation.

Lin Bo wasn't in a hurry because he was a local and didn't need to think too much.

He's different; he doesn't yet know if he can stay in this bustling city.

If I go back to my hometown, I'll face the problem of breaking up after graduation. Why bother starting over?

Furthermore, as a mature man, he needs to prioritize his career and not let women hinder his progress!

……

Shen Yueru, still sporting a high ponytail, looked exceptionally youthful and vibrant.

Wearing a white coat and a mask, the young woman holding a small brown-black teddy bear was patiently giving instructions:

"Okay, we've removed the little tube it swallowed this time. Next time, keep a close eye on it and don't let it eat anything it shouldn't."

The other person nodded repeatedly, feigning a fierce expression, and raised their hand high:

"Do you know how much money your mother spent on your reckless eating?"

The little teddy bear's black bean-like eyes stared straight at the woman, not even flinching, as if it was certain she wouldn't use force.

When the slap finally landed on Teddy, it had already withdrawn most of its force, and in the end, it was just a lot of noise but little action as it stroked its fur.

After seeing off the patient, Shen Yueru opened the chat interface again.

The dialog box still shows the time from an hour ago.

After receiving Lu Renxin's last message, she replied with "Okay".

Shen Yueru unconsciously picked up a ballpoint pen and pressed the cap back and forth.

The "click-clack" sound contains the girl's innermost thoughts.

I wonder if he can sense my feelings for him, and whether we can take things further.

Actually, yesterday was not the first time she met Lu Renxin.

We first met a year ago at a campus singing competition held at Guanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Shen Yueru has a friend who studies here and participated in the competition.

She came over to act as an audience member, to create an atmosphere; her main job was to watch the show from below and play on her phone when she was bored.

She applauded enthusiastically when her friend came out, creating the impression that she was a favorite to win the championship.

Until the host announced his name – "Lu Renxin".

Shen Yueru was playing on her phone when an eerie silence fell over the noisy auditorium.

She subconsciously raised her head, her breath inexplicably stopping at that moment.

He was a tall, thin boy wearing a simple white shirt with the cuffs casually rolled up to his elbows, revealing smooth muscle lines in his forearms.

Holding a wooden guitar in her arms, she lowered her head slightly, her wisps of hair covering her eyebrows.

She exudes a cool and aloof aura.

He began to sing a folk song softly, and Shen Yueru's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on him.

All she could hear was the thunderous pounding of her own heart. She looked down at the water bottle in her hand; her palms were sweaty.

"It's over," she heard a voice say.

That afternoon, among all the contestants, Shen Yueru, quite embarrassingly, fell in love for the first time.

She even forgot her original mission and didn't even know when her friends would appear.

After the competition, she tried to contact Lu Renxin, but he stayed in the hospital every day, as if he were in seclusion, isolated from the world.

The second time they met was yesterday, when Shen Yueru, who was driving very fast, accidentally hit someone.

When she saw the face clearly, her heart pounded.

It was him! This is fate, I must seize it!

Recalling this, she mustered her courage again, typed a message, and sent it.

[Dr. Lu, are you off work yet?]

……

Tuesday morning, the dressing room was as harmonious and respectful as ever.

A peculiar "scenery" appeared in the hospital's clean corridor.

The petite white mother, with her back hunched, held tightly onto her son's arm as they moved forward step by step.

Bai Zongbao weighed heavily on Bai's mother's shoulders like a mountain.

Feeling the strange looks from everyone, he became extremely uncomfortable and weakly said, "Mom... put me down, I can manage on my own."

Bai's mother rebuked him sharply, her voice still firm despite her panting: "Your wound is so big, what if you accidentally fall? Mom can carry you."

As she spoke, she lifted her son's arm up onto her shoulder.

The two were an extremely mismatched pair, like a wooden stick supporting a boulder.

Finally arriving at the dressing room, Bai's mother helped Bai Zongbao lie down on the bed.

She showed no intention of leaving and remained behind the curtain.

Under normal circumstances, doctors will not stop family members from learning how to change dressings; instead, they will provide a more detailed explanation.

So Lu Renxin inserted the tweezers into the wound and explained to Bai's mother while cleaning it.

But her attention wasn't on the learning steps; instead, her eyes welled up with tears of heartache.

"hiss--"

Bai Zongbao couldn't help but gasp in pain.

"Don't touch him!" Bai's mother shouted sharply.

"I need to check the wound; changing the dressing is a necessary procedure," Lu Renxin said calmly, his tweezers hovering in mid-air as he frowned.

"He's an adult; his wound needs treatment. It won't heal if you just leave it there."

"Treatment?" She suddenly stepped in front of Bai Zongbao, her voice filled with suppressed anger.

"Look at the wound, it's bleeding! Can't you be a little gentler when you change the dressing?"

"He's been afraid of pain since he was a child, how can you doctors have no empathy at all!"

Bai Zongbao couldn't help but ask, "Mom, it really doesn't hurt..."

"You still say it doesn't hurt!" Bai's mother turned and glared at him, her eyes even redder. "You couldn't help but cry out just now, did you think I didn't hear you?"

"They told us during the outpatient visit that it was a minimally invasive surgery under general anesthesia."

"But when I looked at the wound today, it was so big! Where's the minimally invasive part?"

As she spoke, she turned to Lu Renxin, her tone tinged with resentment:

"I endured the pain all day yesterday, but it still hurts today. I wish I hadn't done it."

The tweezers in Lu Renxin's hand clattered onto the tray, and his face darkened completely.

"Minimally invasive does not mean a small wound, but rather that it means minimizing damage to the patient without reducing the effectiveness of the treatment."

Although he found Bai's mother unreasonable, his professional ethics as a doctor compelled him to continue explaining:

"Take Bai Zongbao for example. We could have just made a big incision, but we still made a skin flap for him."

"Just because you think something is wrong doesn't mean it's wrong. If you continue to obstruct treatment, I can only assume you're not cooperating with the medical plan. If the wound gets infected, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"
