Doctor: It's more than just shocking! It's shocking! Open the door to shock—

It's so shocking!

Come to think of it, isn't Jing Shuo now reunited with that... person?

Yes, the doctor is certain of one thing, that is -

During the years that Jing Shuo was abroad, he probably had no contact with anyone in China.

The above speculation comes from the fact that Jing Shuo has not called the dean in several years, and is related to the recent big news about Jing Shuo in the wealthy family.

Alas, he knew Jing Shuo went abroad thanks to the dean's frequent worried mentions in front of him, otherwise he would know nothing.

After all, their contact had gradually become less and less since they entered university. Even from a distance, he had witnessed Jing Shuo getting better and better, and even silently admired Jing Shuo's bravery in his heart.

But now it seems that he still knows too little.

However, Lin Jingshuo did not give the doctor time to buffer. Instead, he smiled and picked up the exquisite water cup, with a slight curl of his lips:

"Okay, now you can rest assured. I shouldn't be in danger of being completely banned by Tang Yu. So--"

"Shouldn't you tell me how you knew...those things about me?"

If the doctor was in the same school as him, it would be understandable that he knew some of his affairs. But the doctor was clearly not in the same school as him and did not meet him often, so how did he know these things?

And...she could ask him with such confidence.

It was obvious that after he became an adult, he deliberately distanced himself from the people in the orphanage because he didn't want his world to be a pure white place.

It seems that I still failed...

Lin Jingshuo couldn't explain what he felt at the moment, but the only thing he knew for sure was—

He still has people he cares about.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be asking doctors such questions now, nor would he care about what they think of him.

The doctor was caught off guard by this question. His mind went blank at first, and then he remembered what he wanted to say. So he slightly dodged and avoided Lin Jingshuo's sight:

"This... well, I overheard it..."

"No," Lin Jingshuo calmly interrupted the doctor, staring into his eyes and saying word by word, "You won't be affected by those groundless rumors."

"So, tell me, what exactly is going on? Is it possible... that the dean and the others also know..."

The doctor sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell him the truth about why he knew all this:

"You should remember that when we were in high school, there was a guy named Lin Hao who pursued you, but you probably didn't agree."

"He followed you later, and you beat him up after you found out. You remember that, right?"

"I remember." Lin Jingshuo nodded in response.

When he was in high school, he had several fanatical and unscrupulous suitors, who always thought that as long as they showed a little kindness in front of him or did something insignificant, he would be easily moved.

Oh, sorry.

He looks at the face.

So how did they still have the courage to get in front of him when they already looked like that?

Lin Jingshuo's eyes flashed with disdain, and he motioned the doctor to continue:

"Later, you went to art school and I went to medical school, so you rarely came back to the orphanage. But one day..."

"...That Lin Hao showed up again. Not only did he post something on the orphanage's bulletin board, he also handed the director a stack of photos and earnestly urged us to persuade you."

As for the content on the bulletin board and the photos, Jing Shuo should be able to guess what they are about.

He had also seen some intimate photos of Jing Shuo and a man in a suit, including some typical "getting in luxury cars" photos.

However, the face of the man in the suit did not appear in these photos. Instead, Jing Shuo's entire body was seen clearly.

Lin Hao's intentions were obvious: he simply wanted to smear Jing Shuo. So the dean immediately restrained the man, called the police, and then told them to pretend nothing had happened.

In fact, if he hadn't let it slip today, he wouldn't have mentioned this matter at all.

But now, everything has been made clear.

The doctor thought Jing Shuo would be angry, but he didn't expect Jing Shuo to just ask him in a hoarse voice:

"Then what?"

"Of course, the man was beaten and sent to the police station." The doctor pushed his glasses, looking as if it was a matter of course.

"How you chose to do this has anything to do with him? Don't take this to heart. We destroyed those photos and things."

"...Thank you." Lin Jingshuo, who had been silent for a long time, uttered two words dryly, and slowly loosened his clenched hands, his knuckles turning white.

"Did he say anything else?"

"Hmm..." The doctor tried to search through his memories, but could only piece together some vague sentences:

"It seems to be saying...I won't let you go so easily."

"And you said these photos...we're not the only ones who saw them?"

Perhaps because it had been so long, the doctor's recollection seemed a little difficult. However, there was no point in bringing up the past now, and he didn't want Jing Shuo to be affected by these unpleasant things. So, after he finished speaking, he tried to ease the silence between them:

"Oh, it's all in the past. Don't think too much about it. Besides, dating a man isn't illegal..."

"Fortunately, you were abroad at the time and weren't affected by this mess..."

There was no big connection between these two things. It was just because the doctor really wanted to start a new topic that he said it in an attempt to divert his friend's attention.

However, after hearing this, Lin Jingshuo raised his head alertly, and a fleeting light flashed across his crystal clear eyes.

Yes, how come it just happened that he was sent abroad at that time?

So he was completely unaware of this matter, and had no idea that a suitor he loved but could not get was trying to ruin his future in this way.

Luckily I avoided...

Lin Jingshuo exhaled, but immediately sat up straight and asked the doctor with a somewhat cold expression:

"Do you have his contact information?"

"I don't have it, but I think the dean has it, because he also went to the police station at the time and left the man's address and phone number just in case."

"Ask the dean to come over, but don't say it's me who asked you to come." Lin Jingshuo instructed the doctor calmly, and with just one look he blocked the doubts that were about to come out of the doctor's mouth.

"...Oh." The doctor nodded in agreement, then turned around and made a deal: "But you also have to promise me one thing—"

"Will you cooperate with me in the treatment later?"

"...Deal." Lin Jingshuo glanced at his friend, clearly finding the doctor's behavior somewhat ridiculous. It was ridiculous that the doctor would actually use such a thing as a bargaining chip. But when his eyes met the doctor's concerned look, he somehow compelled to cooperate.

Lin Jingshuo's thoughts gradually drifted away, and suddenly a sentence flashed through his mind:

"It turns out that this world is not so cruel to me."
