"Not enough funding?"

"Principal, I'm doing a livestream here!"

"You said you won't approve this cold drink cabinet for the infirmary."

"What will people say about you and our university online?"

"Hai City University is aware of students' needs but won't even approve a small fridge for the infirmary. I wonder where all the funding goes each year."

Chen Mu said lazily.

On the other end of the phone, the principal's frantic voice came through: "Approved! I'll approve it for you!"

"Do you have anything else? If not, I have to keep an eye on the students who haven't come out of the operating room yet!"

Chen Mu smiled, "Principal, the fridge better arrive this morning, otherwise, it'll be too late!"

—

"???

"A month without approval, and just using our livestream as a pretext, he got it approved?"

"When he advised Luo Jiaojiao to store her Chinese medicine in the infirmary, I sensed a conspiracy. Dr. Chen really is cunning!"

"???"

"Looking at his twenty-something face, and you call him cunning?"

"Even though Dr. Chen sometimes thinks differently, every action he takes solves problems for the students."

"..."

—

"Reporter Su, open the door."

"Continue the consultation."

Chen Mu, having hung up the phone, hummed a little tune and returned to his desk.

Su Bingbing looked at Chen Mu with a slightly speechless expression.

How did she remember that yesterday she was just doing a small favor for Chen Mu?

But now Chen Mu had this demeanor.

Is he really treating her like an assistant?

Though she felt helpless, Su Bingbing still did what Chen Mu assigned her very well.

She opened the infirmary door, "Next!"

The boy who entered was wearing slippers. As soon as he came in, Su Bingbing was a bit stunned.

The boy's toes, exposed through the slippers, looked almost rotten.

Chen Mu quickly put on a pair of gloves. After the boy sat on the examination bed, Chen inspected his feet, "Fungal infection—have you been wearing someone else's shoes recently?"

Hearing Chen Mu's voice.

The boy looked aggrieved, "Dr. Chen, I have been really careful in the dorm, but I accidentally touched my roommate's slippers."

"And then..."

"Then my feet turned out like this!"

Seeing the boy's aggrieved expression, Chen Mu frowned slightly, "Generally speaking, even touching shoes worn by someone with athlete's foot wouldn't cause such severe fungal infection."

"Could it be that you..."

Misunderstood your roommate?

Chen Mu hadn't finished speaking when the boy lay straight on the infirmary examination bed.

"Dr. Chen, let me be honest with you!"

"I was aware that you're participating in a variety show filming, and there's a lot of traffic in your livestream right now, so I came here to get treated!"

"I hope Dr. Chen can help me by calling my counselor. I want to change dorms!"

"If I don't move out of this dorm, I doubt I'll survive until graduation!"

Chen Mu felt a bit of a headache, "Student, I'm just a doctor, I can't supervise dorm changes."

The boy continued to shout regardless, "I know you're a doctor, and since you're a doctor, you must not stand by and watch without helping!"

"I realize what I'm saying may sound absurd to you."

"But what if, Dr. Chen, you take a good look at these photos?"

The boy, in despair, pulled out a few pictures from his phone album.

Initially, Chen Mu took just a casual glance.

But just that one look.

Chen Mu's expression changed instantly.

He took the boy's phone and seriously examined each picture taken by the boy.

The boy took pictures of the most typical four-person dorm room at Hai City University.

But one bed, at a glance, could only be described as horrifying.

Cluttered clothes, all sorts of garbage piled up.

That alone was enough.

Even through the pictures, it was apparent that much of the stuff on this bed had been used by the owner till it developed a patina.

Even the white wall by the bed was smeared like a long-neglected extractor hood, stained with oil.

The owner of this bed wasn't just messy by standard hygiene terms.

Just as Chen Mu was about to look at the next picture.

He paused.

Zoomed in on the picture.

And there it was.

On the wall-side of the bed, several mushrooms had grown ???

—

"???"

"What kind of sci-fi horror is this? It's already this dirty, and mushrooms can still grow on the bed?"

"Watching the show everyday brings joy, Hai City University's students are truly amusing, there's always a new spectacle!"

"What is this? The experimental dog screams piercingly! Is this the soil-free cultivation that stumped me for months? How did he do it???"

"Fellow experimental dogs, I'm already fainting from grief!"

"..."

—

Chen Mu's gaze lingered on that picture for a long time.

He finally slid it away.

The subsequent pictures were no different from the previous ones.

All capturing just how unclean the boy's roommate turned out to be.

The last picture.

It was a pair of worn-out shoes.

Just as Chen Mu swiped to here, the boy who came for consultation pointed tearfully at the picture, loudly proclaiming, "Dr. Chen! It's these shoes that caused me to end up like this!"

"I was just getting out of bed and accidentally brushed against his shoes, resulting in my fungal infection!"

Chen Mu sighed softly.

While causing a ruckus in the infirmary is unacceptable.

It's worth considering from another angle.

If he were the boy, having a roommate excelling at fungal cultivation, it would be difficult to assure himself of safe dormitory departure.

If not out of utter desperation, who would willingly go mad?

"ID card, or health insurance card."

Taking the boy's ID card, Chen Mu returned to his desk to start recording the boy's accommodation information.

"Jiang He, how many people are there in your dorm now?"

Jiang He answered honestly, "Three."

"Oh?" Chen Mu propped up his chin, "Was it originally a three-person dorm, or did someone transfer out midway?"

Jiang He: "One of my roommates mistakenly used his towel last semester, developed pneumonia within a few days, and an ambulance was called..."

"Once he was discharged, he was successfully transferred out of our dorm."

Chen Mu nodded thoughtfully.

He took a referral form from his desk, "Alright, you need injections for the fungal infection, and the infirmary doesn't have IV drips."

"I'll write a referral form for you, take it to any ambulance downstairs."

"Remember! The critical point!"

Chen Mu looked seriously at Jiang He, "Student Jiang, you can't go to the hospital alone. You need to call your class counselor."

"Once your counselor arrives, let them take you to the hospital, get injections, see the doctor, just for the fungal infection."

Jiang He still seemed hesitant, "Dr. Chen, what if my counselor doesn't come?"

Chen Mu laughed.

Pointing behind him at the camera, "Did you forget why you came to my infirmary?"
