University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 38: My Mouth Is Big—I Just Wanted to See If I Could Get the Light Bulb Out!


"Ring ring ring——"

"Ring ring ring——"

Listening to the strange ringing constantly coming from the school infirmary, Su Bingbing stiffly turned her head to look in Chen Mu's direction.

She saw Chen Mu standing at the infirmary door, struggling.

Muttering quietly.

"Once I close this door, I'm off work. Once I'm off work, even if a student falls ill, they can't make the school doctor come back for overtime, right?"

"All these kids who made it through the college entrance exam are so smart; if they can't reach the infirmary phone, they'll definitely call 120."

"Yes, exactly like that, I'm off work!"

"Whatever happens next is none of my business!"

Having mentally prepared himself, Chen Mu didn't give Su Bingbing any time to react and turned to leave.

Su Bingbing turned back several times, the ringing phone in the infirmary tugging at her heartstrings.

She didn't know what kind of problem the student calling was facing.

And she didn't know if the student couldn't get through to the infirmary, would they call 120 themselves...

Wondering silently about all sorts of things, Su Bingbing suddenly saw a figure hastily returning.

Opened the door to the infirmary.

"I really owe these students! Can't even get off work in peace!"

"Fine, fine! Who asked me to have medical ethics!"

Chen Mu, looking fierce, walked towards the constantly ringing landline in the infirmary.

The moment he answered the phone, Chen Mu's expression returned to its usual calm, "Hello, Hai City University Infirmary, I'm the school doctor, Chen Mu!"

"Brothers! Type 'medical ethics' for Dr. Chen on the screen!"

"When Dr. Chen turned around, I almost felt like crying! He hates overtime so much, yet he didn't give up on any student seeking help from the infirmary!"

"My girlfriend is also a doctor; last time, while she was getting her hair dyed, the hospital called so she rushed back with shampoo still in her hair…"

"Doctors seem to be like that; they verbally refuse overtime, but when truly needed, they still step up right away..."

"Okay, I understand the situation your roommate is in."

"I'll head to your dorm now, just soothe your roommate a bit, it's nothing major."

After hanging up the phone.

He met Su Bingbing's worried gaze, "Dr. Chen, what happened to the student?"

Chen Mu picked up the doctor's kit at the door, grabbed the plastic bag containing his white coat, "A student in the male dorm watched a science video saying that a light bulb can't be taken out of the mouth."

"He didn't believe it."

"Took the dorm room bulb, put it in his mouth himself, and now he can't get it out."

Su Bingbing was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Chen Mu started locking the door, "Our next job is to go to the male dorm, help him remove the light bulb from his mouth, and then head home for the day."

"I can't stop laughing. Going home after work has almost become Dr. Chen's obsession!"

"If you never get off work, going home after work becomes your obsession too!"

"More than Dr. Chen not getting off work, I'm more curious about that guy with the bulb stuck in his mouth, hahaha!!!"

"Speaking of which, Hai City University is a good school, where did they get so many quirky college students?"

"College students feel offended! What do you mean quirky? We just left high school and have no parental control; we're just a bit more curious!"

"Why is the person above so emotional? Could it be that 'light bulb mouth guy' is you?"

"..."

"There!"

Chen Mu parked the car below the male dorm building.

Got out of the car.

Let out a deep sigh before heading to the male dorm.

The dormitory warden aunt yawned exaggeratedly but gave Chen Mu a sympathetic look, "Dr. Chen again with the overtime?"

Chen Mu chuckled bitterly: "Out of thirty-one days a month, I spend 360 of them on overtime; I'm already looking forward to summer break."

The dormitory warden aunt laughed, "But school just started! Dr. Chen, you should go on up, the sooner you check on the students, the sooner you can get off work."

Unlike when entering the female dorm.

Su Bingbing and the cameraman behind her passed into the male dorm unimpeded.

This caused a flurry of debate in the livestream comments.

Even though it was already late.

The male dorm was still bustling, and with every level they climbed, Chen Mu and Su Bingbing saw many guys standing in the corridors spectating them.

"That's Su Bingbing, right? My wife looks even prettier in person than in the videos!"

"I'm so envious of Dr. Chen, getting to work with my wife. If I could work with my wife every day, I'd die of happiness!"

"Dr. Chen is quite handsome too; I didn't even know our school doctor was so young and good-looking."

"Hey! Dude, you're kinda creepy! It's normal for girls to fangirl over Dr. Chen, but you, as a guy, fangirling over another guy! Eek! Stay away, I like women!"

"..."

As they listened to the rowdiness of the boys,

Su Bingbing laughed behind her hand: "Dr. Chen, the students at your school sure are lively."

Chen Mu sighed and massaged his temples: "I wish they were less lively…"

Who on earth swallows a light bulb in the middle of the night?

And not just any bulb, but one they took out of their dorm room!

Just as Chen Mu and Su Bingbing reached the third floor, a student in pajamas approached eagerly: "Dr. Chen, right? I just called you. My roommate, the one who swallowed the bulb!"

The student spoke while trying hard to suppress a smile.

"Buddy, no need to hold back, if you want to laugh just laugh..."

"Laughing in front of the person involved might affect dormmate relationships, right?"

"Makes me laugh, it's broadcasted all over the internet; are you still worried about dorm relationships?"

"Calling the infirmary beats going to ER; at least this roommate is reliable."

"As this college student, I've now inquired about the school infirmary number on the school forum, just in case."

"Gee! After this show, school doctors nationwide might have heart issues, with more students realizing the infirmary actually treats ailments..."

"..."

"Student, I honestly can't figure it out."

"The science video clearly stated that once the bulb is in the mouth, you can't get it out on your own."

"What made your roommate think he could?" Chen Mu was baffled.

Su Bingbing, beside him, nodded with a serious expression: "Moreover, he took out your dorm's bulb to swallow it, wasn't there anyone to stop him?"

The student's expression was slightly embarrassed.

Arriving at the dorm door, he finally said: "My roommate said his mouth is bigger than average; what others can't do, he definitely can."

"As for why no one stopped him, it's related to a bet among us."

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh?"

He was a bit curious about what kind of bet would make today's college students go to such lengths.

The student suddenly stood up straight with a proud expression, "If he could take the bulb out, we'd call him 'Dad'! If he couldn't, he'd have to call the rest of us in the dorm 'Dad'!"
