Chapter 94
Once Song Shuhang returned to Jiangnan College Town, his sister dragged him to the hospital…
“Sister Yaya, the four medicinal herbs that I looked for on this trip to Guanyuan Road’s medicine store was definitely not for myself. A person I know needed these four medicinal herbs, and I only went to confirm! Really, look at my eyes, my sincere eyes! Is that still not enough for you to trust me? Sister… just turn around and look at my eyes, my super-sincere eyes!” Song Shuhang was being dragged by Zhao Yaya’s little hand, but he didn’t dare to struggle—his strength now was like that of a raging bull, so if he used a little force, Zhao Yaya would be sent flying.
When that happened, Zhao Yaya would be scared silly. So, he could only jabber away in an attempt to persuade her.
Zhao Yaya turned her head, and looked seriously at Song Shuhang’s… eyes.
A short while, she replied, “Shuhang. In your eyes, there’s eye wax!”
“…” Song Shuhang.
“Alright, stop blabbering. Just treat it as a benefit I’m giving you by getting you a free check-up, okay? Even for a healthy person, there are no demerits in getting frequent checkups!” Zhao Yaya said softly and composedly.
However, her mind was not as composed as her expression—Song Shuhang’s reluctance to cooperate made her even more worried inside.
Shuhang… wasn’t really sick, was he?
Now, Zhao Yaya’s mind was filled with all sorts of incurable diseases and ‘terminal stage’ blockages. She was extremely flustered.
Even if Song Shuhang talked his head off today, she wouldn’t be changing her mind. If Shuhang didn’t get a full body checkup, she wouldn’t be able to rest her mind.
“Alright, today, I’ll go along with my sister’s plans.” Song Shuhang said with a strong sense of righteousness. Zhao Yaya was determined this time to send him to the hospital. He could only rejoice that, before entering the hospital, he wouldn’t have to break his leg first like those two poor teachers.
Anyways, his body was beyond great—even if he had a checkup, no problems would be found.
By the way, when Zhao Yaya pulled on his hand and dragged him along, the eyes of people nearby became very sharp.
Those sharp gazes he was all too familiar with. He experienced it quite a bit when he grew up; it was the look of numerous male humans that were envying him holding hands intimately with a beauty.
Even though she’s my sister, and will at most hold my hand. (This joke is for those miserable people who know of the truth.) …But how would you passersby know? Hmph, admire me, and envy me!
Jiangnan College Town had its own hospital, but the hospital was not within its boundaries—it was located short of a thousand meters from the college town.
After all, hospitals needed to make a profit. If it was located within the college town, the sick that come and go would increase the burden on management and safety.
Since it wasn’t far to the hospital, Zhao Yaya chose to walk.
In the sky, the sun emitted light and heat selflessly, bringing benefit to the mankind… and in passing, it roasted miserable pedestrians walking at a fast pace.
The temperature was high. Zhao Yaya’s cheeks had a tinge of pink, and a crystal clear bead of sweat flowed down from her tender cheek…
Song Shuhang sighed on the inside—he activated mental energy and secretly released ‘spirit-binding ice bead’s’ cold air, wrapping Zhao Yaya within.
“Huh? The weather turned cold?” Zhao Yaya looked towards the sky, but the sun was still scorching hot, and the sunlight was still just as brazen.
But, what was the chilly feeling she had on her body? It was more comfortable than an air conditioner!
“Maybe it’s a gust of cool breeze.” Song Shuhang said offhandedly.
Zhao Yaya nodded, but seeing passersby with their faces full of sweat and drying up like dead dogs… there probably wasn’t a gust of cool breeze.
“Forget it, let’s go while it’s still cool.” Zhao Yaya didn’t think much more of it.
After arriving at the hospital, Zhao Yaya pulled Song Shuhang to the checkup area. She had already registered him.
“Come over quickly.” She still pulled on Shuhang’s hand, afraid he would run.
Shuhang followed behind her obediently.
The hospital affiliated with Jiangnan College Town had many patients, most of whom had caught a cold lately. Due to Jiangnan College Town’s special climate, in the morning people felt hot like a panting dog, and at night they were shivering inside their sheets. The army of the seasonal cold increased steadily… a thing worthy of celebration indeed.
Because the majority of patients were mostly students, Song Shuhang saw several familiar faces on the way, but they were only acquaintances that just nodded and exchanged greetings with him before leaving.
“Sister Yaya, are we there yet?” Song Shuhang was led along for a while; why were the hospital corridors built so long and so complicated? What if someone needed emergency treatment, and endured past the traffic but died in the endless corridors?
“Almost there.” Zhao Yaya replied without turning around.
The two walked for a while longer…
Song Shuhang saw another familiar figure.
It was a salary man uncle. He wore a white button up and black dress pants, and held a briefcase in his left hand. Even in the hospital, he was in a hurry, as if he was miserable being oppressed by life itself.
It was the uncle that dropped money in front of Song Shuhang and had mistaken Shuhang for a scammer.
He remembered that the uncle dropped a bit more than a hundred fifty?
Moreover, this afternoon, the uncle and Shuhang had passed each other.
At that time, Shuhang had been getting on the train, and the uncle had been getting off the train. The uncle had been moving strangely, as if he had been following someone.
This uncle and I really have a karmic connection, looks like that hundred fifty is destined to be returned! Song Shuhang exclaimed inwardly, then he stretched his vocal cords and yelled at the uncle, “Uncle, Uncle! Hello!”
Zhao Yaya asked doubtfully, “An acquaintance?”
The uncle in front turned his head around, and looked at Song Shuhang blankly. Apparently, the uncle had already forgotten completely about Song Shuhang.
“Uncle, it’s me! Last time, when you walked off in front of me, you dropped a hundred fifty, and I picked it up for you! How unexpected that we meet again, I will definitely return you the money this time!” Song Shuhang dug into his pockets, preparing to take out a hundred fifty.
As Song Shuhang spoke, the uncle’s face showed an expression of realization as he pointed at Song Shuhang, “Scammer?”
“…” Song Shuhang.
“Uncle, I’m not a scammer. You dropped a hundred fifty last time, I really just picked it up to give it back! I can give it back to you now!” Song Shuhang patiently explained. He could explain it so patiently because he felt a connection to this uncle, having met by coincidence so many times.
However, the uncle’s face changed drastically as he muttered, “Are all scammers these days so rampant? You even got a helper this time? Is this still a society ruled by law?! Damn it, you really think me a fool? Hmph, it’s no use… I know your true colors, there’s no way I’ll be duped by you guys.
With that said, the uncle nimbly turned around and dashed off.
Song Shuhang raised his hand with the hundred fifty stiffly, he didn’t know whether to reach out or withdraw his hand.
Uncle, I never thought you were a fool… but the problem is, as it seems, you really are a fool, aaaahhh!
Zhao Yaya felt the surrounding people’s gazes turn sharp, then pushed back the hand Song Shuhang was holding the money, “You rottenly good guy! Leave that uncle, let’s go.”
Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so he sought consolation from Zhao Yaya, “Dear Sister, tell me, in what way do I look like a scammer?”
“There, there, good boy. You’re nothing like a scammer.” Zhao Yaya laughed aloud, and pulled Shuhang, leaving the scene quickly.
