"No..."

Chen Mu, who answered the phone, incredulously poked his ear.

This was the first time in his career that he doubted if there was something wrong with his hearing.

"Did you just say..."

"He Congming swallowed what?"

The male student's voice on the other end, tinged with tears, spoke again, "He Congming swallowed fire and burned his throat."

"We've already called 120. In his condition, going to the hospital would just mean waiting in line, so 120 suggested that if the school has a clinic, it would be best to treat him there first."

Chen Mu sighed.

He looked at Driver He beside him, "Old He, how much longer until we get back?"

Driver He's lips corners were harder to control than ak's.

"Five minutes! Give me five minutes, and I'll get the car to the school clinic for you."

Chen Mu sighed again, holding the phone as he said, "Student, did you hear that? We'll be at the school clinic in five minutes."

"Before we get to the clinic, you'd better not do any treatment on him."

"But you can get someone to a nearby bubble tea shop to buy a cup of ice. It'll be useful when I treat his wound later."

"Hahahaha!!!"

The call had just ended on Chen Mu's side.

The whole ambulance was filled with the radiant laughter of Driver He.

"Dr. Chen, did I just hear you ask what about swallowing a light bulb?"

"Could it be that before this, that student had already performed the feat of swallowing a light bulb?"

Chen Mu gave a long sigh, silently covering his eyes.

When will work be over?

He really didn't want to do this job anymore...

—

"I'm dying of laughter. I thought getting rid of the guy who ate the mushroom would be a relief, but didn't expect another bigwig was waiting behind! Hahahaha!!!"

"Honestly! He Congming's parents sure knew how to name him. It's said that names are complementary; what you lack, you add on. This guy really lacks some smartness."

"How can someone as not smart as He Congming get into Shanghai City University, while students who didn't make it into college break into a sweat?"

"Vocational students suddenly stopped laughing…"

"I can accept that I failed my college entrance exam back then, but I can't accept losing to someone like this. I just can't bear it!!!"

—

The ambulance had just arrived at the school clinic.

Chen Mu jumped out of the car.

And dashed towards the direction of the clinic.

Su Bingbing quickly followed.

The camera guy sighed, carrying his heavy camera, as he raced after the two.

"Ah... ah..."

When Chen Mu arrived at the clinic, he saw He Congming lying on the examination bed.

Surrounding him were familiar faces, He Congming's roommates.

His roommates looked at him, struggling even to speak, each with an expression of helplessness.

Chen Mu sighed.

As he stepped forward to check on He Congming, he asked, "So, what bet did you make this time to get him into such a state?"

As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking.

One of He Congming's roommates couldn't help but explain with a grievance, "Dr. Chen, I swear on my credits, this time we really didn't make any bets with him!"

"After the light bulb swallowing incident today, He Congming was really down when he got back to the dorm."

"We didn't even dare to mention calling him dad!"

"He seriously reflected on why both attempts at swallowing a light bulb failed. He thinks he picked the wrong path. His mouth is big, but not suitable for swallowing light bulbs."

Chen Mu's lips twitched, "Not suitable for swallowing light bulbs, so suitable for swallowing fire?"

Is this something a normal brain could come up with?

His roommate also felt aggrieved, "After two incidents, we didn't dare to chime in anymore, afraid he'd really swallow something terrible."

"We even went out to buy breakfast for him out of fear."

"While we went to buy breakfast, he was alone in the dorm watching short videos."

"But..."

The male student was almost in tears, "Who would've thought he'd get into trouble just watching short videos!"

"We came back with breakfast to eat quickly before going to class."

"But as soon as we entered the dorm, he told us he found something suitable for swallowing, and wanted to show it to us."

The student was both aggrieved and angry, shaking with rage.

In the end, his equally helpless roommate spoke up to continue explaining, "When we saw him take out a few tissues and say that, we didn't think much of it."

"In our logic..."

"At most, he'd just swallow a tissue or something. We've seen such news online, thinking it wouldn't cause trouble, so we didn't worry."

"Then..."

"Because we didn't stop him, He Congming set the tissue on fire and threw it into his mouth!"

The several boys were filled with distress, trembling in the school clinic.

—

"Should the school get a psychologist for these guys? I feel like after this, He Congming's roommates will have some psychological shadows."

"Agreed! When getting these students a psychologist, let's also find one for Dr. Chen. At this rate, Dr. Chen won't be able to hold on either..."

"Throwing lit tissue into your own mouth shows some masochistic tendency. I couldn't go that far on myself..."

"..."

—

Unable to speak, He Congming picked up his phone and typed for Chen Mu to see.

"Dr. Chen, I searched online for fire-swallowing tutorials. I practiced before they came back, and it was all successful."

"I didn't expect it to suddenly fail."

Under the live camera.

Chen Mu involuntarily rolled his eyes.

He Congming was undoubtedly the student Chen Mu least wanted to continue dealing with since he started working.

He feared that one day, He Congming would truly do himself in.

If that happened, resigning wouldn't just be the principal's responsibility.

The unlucky school doctor might have to go too.

"Dr. Chen, the ice is here!"

A male student ran in from outside with a bubble tea cup.

"Thank you."

Chen Mu first put on a pair of disposable medical gloves and checked the temperature inside He Congming's mouth with his hand.

He mixed a cup of warm water from the water dispenser, handing it to He Congming, "Hold it in your mouth."

He Congming took the cup, sat up, and did as instructed.

After a few seconds.

Chen Mu kicked a trash bin near He Congming's feet, "Spit it out!"

He Congming complied.

Chen Mu took the water cup from He Congming's hand and added a bit of room temperature bottled water into it.

This time the water temperature was slightly warm.

Chen Mu: "Hold it in your mouth."

He Congming did as instructed.

Chen Mu: "Spit it out."

He Congming complied.

Chen Mu once again took the water cup from He Congming's hand, completely emptied it.

Then filled it with cold water from the dispenser, handing it to He Congming, "Hold it in your mouth."

Watching Chen Mu's treatment method, Su Bingbing was baffled, "Dr. Chen, in this situation, shouldn't he need burn ointment or something?"

Chen Mu was speechless, "Burn ointment? On the throat? In the mouth?"
