Chapter 464: Ambiguous and Boundless

Back to Chapter List
The car parked smoothly in front of the medical room. Qin Feng pressed the electronic handbrake and turned to smile at Liu Su. "Classmate, this time, are you going down by yourself, or shall I carry you?" "You decide," she pouted, pretending to be annoyed. "I'm injured so badly—how can you possibly expect me to walk on my own?" Qin, the wealthy young man, adopted a look of genuine difficulty. "If I carry you, you'll surely accuse me of having improper intentions, even of being unseemly. I'm very conscious of my reputation!" Liu Su felt utterly frustrated. How could he still be so proud and domineering at Pingda? After all, his reputation was built on being overbearing, juggling multiple relationships, and being a womanizer—those were the facts. Yet her words were well-reasoned, composed, and balanced—truly hard to argue against. She could only smile sweetly, "How could it be otherwise? You're helping the senior, so the senior surely won't hold a grudge. My dear, my feet are really hurting now—could you please help me out a little? I won't let you go without a reward!" He brightened immediately, "With a reward? What do you have in mind?" Liu Su gave him a withering look, speaking in a mysteriously suggestive tone, "Anything you'd like—just as long as it's not too much." Qin Feng nodded along, gently licking his lips, with a slightly shy smile, "Anything at all, really? Then I'd like your body. How about we go to a room after the doctor's visit?" His straightforwardness left Liu Su a bit flustered—how could he bring up a room reservation so casually? Couldn't he have been more subtle? "You're truly a comedian, aren't you?" she said naturally, smiling. "Alright, then—let's get going and carry me inside!" Qin Feng adjusted his shoulders, knowing all along that Liu Su would say exactly that. A simple remark, and now she felt undervalued—just following the male lead to go out for stays at hotels. Moreover, even if she were willing, Qin, the young noble, wouldn’t have been. That remark had indeed been just a lighthearted joke. This time, embracing the beautiful woman with graceful ease, he fully embodied his brother’s virtues—staying perfectly focused, not looking aside, and keeping both hands steady, never taking advantage. Liu Su found herself once again feeling a sense of disappointment. She had assumed that after turning down his request for a hotel stay, he would find other ways to compensate—based on what had happened before, he surely would seize the opportunity to be cozy with her. Yet he hadn’t done so at all. It was truly puzzling. She realized that, in their previous encounters, she had managed to secure no real advantage—always the other party had been in control. That won't do, because being in a passive position is a disadvantage. She's used to taking the lead, making the men around her secondary, and that complete sense of control has always been something she's pursued. She feels it's essential to change her strategy, or else she'll struggle to make a comeback. With this in mind, she was carried into the medical room by Qin's younger brother and met the on-duty doctor. The doctor was a man in his thirties, wearing a white coat with gold-rimmed glasses, appearing quite refined and cultured. Yet, the students affectionately called him the "Veterinarian." This nickname wasn't due to his particularly aggressive treatment style, but rather a shortened form of "avian veterinarian"—each time he examined a female student, he inevitably ended up touching her up close. As long as he was on duty, the girls would feel shy and hesitant to come in alone. "What's wrong?" The veterinarian didn't bother to look up, since whenever he lowered his head, he saw a pair of male shoes passing by—being a man, the guy clearly had no advantage, and how could he possibly show even the slightest excitement? "Stumbled on his feet," Qin Feng said. Stumbled? The veterinarian thought—walking so steadily, how could he have tripped? Wasn't that a chance for him to make a joke? He angrily lifted his head and then saw Liu Su being carried in Qin's arms. Wow! She's a beauty! The veterinarian involuntarily swallowed his saliva. Wasn't this Liu Su—the second most popular campus girl? It was said she was extremely open-minded, changing boyfriends one after another. She must be delighted to have a doctor take advantage of her, he thought, laughing to himself. It wasn't unusual for a male companion to be present—perhaps they were just ordinary friends. Even if she were in a relationship, what could that matter? For girls who were known to be flexible and changeable, it was natural to prefer new ones over old ones. They wouldn't mind being slightly intimate with someone else in front of their boyfriend. The veterinarian's expression immediately changed—became very kind and warm, smiling gently, "You've twisted your ankle, haven't you? Hurry, place her on the bed by the side—I'll examine her right away!" Qin Feng placed her on the bed as instructed. Liu Su said softly, "Brother, could you please do me one more favor? Help me take off my shoes, would you?" Before Qin Feng could respond, the veterinarian had already knelt down and said, "I'll do it. As a doctor, I can better judge my movements and help ease your discomfort!" Qin Da, shrugging his shoulders and then spreading his hands out, replied, "Since the doctor has volunteered, let him take care of you. If I accidentally hurt you, I'm afraid Sister Liu will have to wipe away tears again!" Liu Su glanced at the veterinarian with a touch of irritation, shifting her body slightly on the bed. The veterinarian carefully removed her boots, gazing at the perfect, graceful feet revealed beneath the cotton socks. He involuntarily swallowed, then extended both hands, slightly trembling, to gently grasp her lovely feet. After a thorough examination, the veterinarian concluded, "Good news—no bone injuries. I'll give you a massage, then apply some topical wine medicine. You'll be fully recovered within three days. Of course, during those three days, you'll need to come in once every morning and evening!" Liu Su frowned. "No thanks. Just bring me a bottle of the medicine wine and I'll apply it myself when I get back." "That simply won't do," the veterinarian exclaimed enthusiastically. "Although this is only a mild sprain, if not treated promptly, it's easy to develop a second sprain, which would then become serious. I absolutely insist you follow the doctor's advice—this is all for your own good. Let's begin with the first massage right away!" He then reached for his tools. After just a few minutes of observation, he was nearly certain that the young man who had brought the beautiful woman here was not her boyfriend. What else was there to wait for? At that moment, a noisy voice came from the door. A tall, loud-voiced boy shouted, "Doctor! Where's the doctor? Come out quickly—we've got someone with a head injury who needs emergency treatment!" The veterinarian turned sharply and barked, "What are you waiting for? Didn't you see me busy? Just wait a moment—I'll attend to this patient first!" The group of boys carrying a bleeding patient grew impatient. The tallest and strongest among them pointed directly at the veterinarian and said, "Say it again! Do you think I'll let you off easy? If we don't treat my roommate right away, no matter what happens, you're responsible for everything!" Liu Su seized the opportunity to say, "Our patient has a more serious injury—let's attend to her first. I'm sure my younger brother can handle the dressing, right, Qin Feng?"
