"Did you twist your ankle while pooping too? No way! Dr. Chen seems to have it out for poop today, huh?!"
"But the moment I saw his ankle, I had the exact same thought as Dr. Chen! Scary!"
"Is this the legendary fragile college student I've heard about? The short video army is here to take a look!"
"Did this dude not get a day off yesterday, so he purposely twisted his ankle today?"
"Ouch! If that's true, then he's quite a tough guy!"
"..."
—
Chen Mu helped the male student to the examination bed.
He waited for him to sit down.
Then he spoke, "ID card, health insurance card, did you bring them? Just give me one of them."
The student nodded.
He took out his health insurance card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu returned to his desk and quickly entered the student's details into the medical record, "Yu Bowen, tell me how you injured your foot."
Upon hearing this,
Yu Bowen's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Bowen decided to speak, "Last night, after learning that Duan Ziyao twisted his ankle and didn't have to do military training, I was a bit tempted."
Chen Mu: "So you deliberately injured yourself?"
Even if he wanted to slack off, there was no need to be so hard on himself...
"That's not it..." Yu Bowen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "After you refused me yesterday, I went back and racked my brain all night, thinking of a way to slack off without a sick leave slip."
Chen Mu raised an eyebrow, "Did you think of something?"
Yu Bowen nodded: "I thought of a solution. When exhausted from military training to the verge of not holding on, I'd pretend to twist my ankle briefly in front of the instructor."
"Maybe the instructor would let me sit down for a while. This way, I'd have the chance to rest without getting a sick leave slip and being found out by you."
Chen Mu looked a bit surprised, "You've got quite the brain!"
"Of course!"
Yu Bowen raised his head with a hint of pride.
"My plan was originally foolproof, but I was too diligent!"
"When I woke up this morning, I considered that for a better performance in front of the instructor, I should practice walking like someone with a twisted ankle."
Chen Mu rested his chin on his hand, getting increasingly interested in what Yu Bowen was saying, "How do people with twisted ankles walk?"
Yu Bowen became excited, "Based on my observations of Duan Ziyao all night, a person with a twisted ankle doesn't put weight on the injured foot, so the best way is to hop on one leg."
Chen Mu nodded, "Though doing that puts unnecessary strain on the other leg, it does seem to be the common choice for most with a twisted ankle."
"You've got some good observation skills, kid!"
Despite receiving Chen Mu's approval, Yu Bowen's expression suddenly wilted, "For better acting, I started practicing hopping on one leg in the dormitory, and then..."
"Then..." Yu Bowen's expression turned increasingly pained, "Then... while hopping in the dormitory..."
"I suddenly heard a 'crack' from my ankle, and then..."
Yu Bowen pointed at his ankle with a teary expression, "Then... I ended up like this..."
Chen Mu's lips began to twitch.
He knew that as a doctor, he shouldn't laugh at a student in such a situation.
But...
It's really hard to control the laughter!
—
"Guys, I've come to an understanding! Beside the Hidden Dragon, there must be a Feng Chu!"
"Is there some strange magic in their dormitory? How come they are all at odds with twisted ankles?"
"Save me! The more pained his expression, the happier I laugh!"
"Originally a career observation show, now I'm watching it like it's a comedy variety show for dinner! These fragile college students are just too funny, hahaha!!!"
"My friend who always said the school doctor has a cozy job no longer questions my overtime after watching this show..."
"..."
—
"Wait a moment, I'll write up your medical record."
After finishing the record, Chen Mu took a new pair of disposable medical gloves from the glove box nearby.
He placed his hands on Yu Bowen's ankle.
"Does this hurt?"
"I don't think it hurts?"
"How about here?"
"It hurts a bit, but it's bearable."
"How about here?"
"Dr. Chen, be gentle, it hurts a lot!"
Chen Mu thoughtfully touched the area around Yu Bowen's injury, "Looks like this is it..."
Yu Bowen nodded seriously, confirming Chen Mu's observation.
Suddenly,
"Ahhhh!!!!"
A surge of pain instantly flooded Yu Bowen's mind.
Overwhelmed by severe pain, Yu Bowen's face turned red, even squeezing out a few tears.
Yu Bowen looked at Chen Mu, gritting his teeth, "Dr. Chen, I'm still a patient, at least give me a heads-up before you reset my ankle!"
Chen Mu looked at him, "Would giving you a heads-up make it hurt any less?"
Yu Bowen was at a loss for words, "You're right... It still would hurt..."
Chen Mu stood up, "That's settled then. I won't give you any more medicine, you can share what you took for Duan Ziyao yesterday, he won't use it all by himself."
Yu Bowen nodded bitterly...
"Your ankle injury isn't as severe as Duan Ziyao's, but it's still not suitable for military training."
"Here, I'll give you a two-day sick leave slip; come back to the school infirmary if you're not better by then."
Hearing this, Yu Wenbo's heart suddenly lightened.
Holding the sick leave slip, he limped away happily from the school infirmary.
"Dr. Chen, there don't seem to be any students waiting outside."
Su Bingbing glanced at the doorway and then turned excitedly towards Chen Mu.
Chen Mu walked to the cabinet and took out three packs of instant noodles, "Beef stew noodles, okay?"
Su Bingbing nodded.
She then said, "Dr. Chen, there are no longer any students waiting outside, and it's not working hours yet. We still have time to grab breakfast in the cafeteria, right?"
Chen Mu pointed towards the clock on the wall.
Su Bingbing followed the direction of Chen Mu's finger and saw that it was 4:56 in the morning.
Chen Mu: "Do you really think those college students have given up on getting sick leave slips? They've just been temporarily scared off by the demerit points, at precisely 5:01, you'll see a line at the infirmary door longer than my life again..."
Su Bingbing immediately stopped speaking.
While Chen Mu opened the noodle seasoning packets, she quickly grabbed the kettle.
To boil water.
What a joke.
After yesterday's experience, she dared not doubt Chen Mu's words!
Consider the length of last night's queue, if she didn't actively boil the water now, she might end up with no instant noodles to eat later.
Just as Su Bingbing returned with the water-filled kettle, before she could plug it in,
she looked up.
Her face changed instantly, pointing in a direction, she shouted, "Dr. Chen, look over there!"
Chen Mu followed Su Bingbing's pointed direction and saw thick black smoke coming out of a window on the other side of the sports field.
Chen Mu instantly put down the instant noodles and rushed into the adjacent compartment.
He quickly took out two stretchers, "Su Bingbing! Grab the medical kit for me!"
Su Bingbing quickly picked up Chen Mu's medical kit and followed behind him as he rushed out of the school infirmary with the two stretchers!
