Chapter 38: The Lucky King 5: The Lucky King
It's August now, and the heat is scorching.
The scorching sun almost melted the city's asphalt roads, and wisps of hot air rose up, but were then extinguished by several days of heavy rain.
It was raining heavily, but it couldn't stop Wu Lan from going out to draw the lottery.
Although he was always soaked by the rain when he returned home, he always had the exquisite prizes he won in the lottery in his hands.
Sometimes it’s a small electric cooker, sometimes it’s a free milk tea coupon, and sometimes it’s a beautifully shaped game figurine.
Wu Lan checked online and found that the game figure could be sold for four figures on a second-hand platform.
This discovery made him happy for several days. To be able to win such an expensive item, he must have some good luck.
The more I win, the more I want to participate in the lottery.
Wu Lan has been concentrating on the free lottery these days. Although he has been a little lazy about the task of improving Lian Shuo's patience, he has not made no progress at all.
He found that every time he came home with a prize, Lian Shuo's face looked a little ugly.
Not only would she wipe the rain off his face with a towel with a sullen face, she would also grab his collar and carry him into the bathroom to take a shower.
At times like this, Lian Shuo's patience value would often rise a little bit. Up to now, it has risen by ten points.
According to his analysis, Lian Shuo must be envious of his talent for winning the lottery, and also disliked that the rain on him would dirty the house.
He found that Lian Shuo was a bit of a germaphobe.
Whenever he came out of the shower, he would always see Lian Shuo mopping the floor and putting away the prizes he brought back.
Lian Shuo got rid of all the cardboard boxes that were originally piled up randomly. Now the space in the house is obviously much more spacious and tidier.
Drinking the iced peach juice that Lian Shuo prepared for him, Wu Lan lay leisurely on the sofa, silently watching Lian Shuo's back as he hung clothes on the balcony.
The rain stopped and the weather became hot again.
Wu Lan propped up her chin, took a sip of peach juice, and sighed, "I can finally wash the clothes I've been saving for several days."
2720 also looked at the figure hanging clothes on the balcony and said quietly, "You make it sound like you wash all the clothes."
Wu Lan, who had never washed clothes since coming to this world, sat up suddenly, put his hands on his hips, and retorted, "How can you say that?"
【I helped with the laundry!!】
2720【？】
Seeing that 2720 seemed to have lost his memory, Wu Lan patiently recalled to the system, "I helped throw the dirty clothes into the washing machine."
【Did you remember? I helped with the housework the day before yesterday.】
In 2720's memory, he only saw Wu Lan carrying a pair of dark shorts and putting them into the washing machine, and then being discovered by Lian Shuo and taken out again.
Those shorts were a discounted item that Wu Lan got on Pindada. The material was average and the color faded badly. Lian Shuo always washed them by hand.
But it was obvious that Wu Lan didn't know about this.
2720 [...I remember now.]
Not wanting to continue this topic, the system changed the subject and said, "Isn't it time for you to go out?"
Wu Lan glanced at the clock on the wall and nodded. "It's time to go out, but it's so hot and sunny outside today."
【I want to go out later. 】
This afternoon, there was a free lottery event at the shopping mall near his home. The event lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon, and he planned to go at three-thirty.
There are still twenty minutes until half past three, and he plans to lie down for a while.
After finishing the peach juice, Wu Lan finally got up, went into the room, changed her clothes and prepared to go out.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the nearby Hongling Shopping Mall to do some serious business."
Lian Shuo knew from a long time ago that the so-called serious business Wu Lan mentioned was to go to the lottery, so he didn't say much, just reminded: "Be careful and go home early."
"Hmmmm."
Wu Lan didn't realize that the way he and Lian Shuo were getting along now was like that of a couple who had been together for a long time. He just felt that Lian Shuo was a little bit nagging.
After saying goodbye to Lian Shuo, Wu Lan arrived before the lottery ended.
At this time, the lottery was almost coming to an end and there were not many people queuing, so it was soon Wu Lan's turn to draw the lottery.
Now he has rich experience in lottery, and no matter what type of lottery it is, he can win it with ease and is full of luck.
As expected by 2720, Wu Lan won the prize again.
The prize won this time was worth more than any other in the past. It was a lucky spot for a full-body checkup at a private hospital worth more than 5,000 yuan. Wu Lan's eyes lit up, and she was filled with disbelief. She even thought she was hallucinating.
After carefully putting the lucky ticket into her pocket, Wu Lan stopped wandering around. As soon as she got home, she immediately put the ticket into the bedside table and locked it.
“That way you won’t lose it.”
"What's missing?"
The door of the room was not closed. Lian Shuo stood at the door, looking at Wu Lan's sneaky look, his eyebrows raised.
"Hiding something?"
Wu Lan was startled. He was originally squatting, but now he sat down on the ground like a clumsy little kid.
"I'm not hiding anything!"
The great joy of winning the prize made Wu Lan easily forgive Lian Shuo for scaring him.
He excitedly told Lian Shuo about the prize he had won, with a smile on his face, and he looked visibly happy.
He opened the lock of the cabinet and showed the lottery ticket to Lian Shuo.
Glancing at the lottery ticket, Lian Shuo couldn't help laughing at the little boy whose face had the words "I'm great, right?" written all over it.
He rubbed Wu Lan's head and asked Wu Lan to put the lottery ticket away.
"It's amazing to win such a great prize."
“I’ve never won a jackpot like this.”
When Wu Lan heard the praise, his tail began to lift up again. He even felt a little proud that he could do something that even the Son of Luck couldn't do.
He is indeed an extremely powerful master.
...
Wu Lan was so happy about the prize that she couldn't sleep for two days.
As soon as the weekend was over, he came to the private hospital early and happily handed the lucky ticket to the front desk guide of the physical examination department.
"Hello, I have already made an appointment in advance."
The guide smiled and spoke politely and gently, not being slow to respond because it was a lottery ticket. "Mr. Wu, this is your medical examination form. Please take it."
"The other one contains the specific department numbers and locations for each examination item. I recommend that you complete the items that require fasting first. After that, you can enjoy a meal at the restaurant on the third floor before completing the other physical examination items."
"Because there are many items to be inspected, it will probably take a whole day. Please plan your time well..."
The guide was very responsible. After carefully explaining the various physical examination requirements, he personally took Wu Lan to the blood drawing area and said, "There are not many people coming to draw blood now. You can go first."
"Okay, thank you."
After thanking the guide doctor, Wu Lan randomly chose an empty window and handed the physical examination form to the nurse inside.
"Are you on an empty stomach? Did you eat anything this morning?"
"I've been fasting since eleven o'clock last night."
Wu Lan specifically went online to search for precautions for physical examinations, and it said that one should not drink water or eat after 11pm the night before blood draw.
This physical examination opportunity is very rare, so he strictly requires himself to follow the regulations.
"very good."
The nurse first took Wu Lan's hand and patted it a few times. She frowned, then changed her hand to check, and then put the cuff on Wu Lan's arm.
"Your blood vessels are very thin, so they're not easy to find."
Seeing Wu Lan's nervous expression, the nurse smiled and said, "Just clench your fist and relax. It won't hurt."
"Uh-huh."
Even so, Wu Lan was still a little scared. He didn't dare to watch the blood drawing process, and turned his head away like an ostrich, his other hand nervously pinching the corner of his clothes.
2720【Close your eyes, don't be afraid.】
As the system finished speaking, Wu Lan felt something covering his eyes, and even the back of his hand that was pinching the corner of his clothes was covered with something cold.
This strange feeling slightly alleviated Wu Lan's fear of needles and pain.
The whole blood drawing process was a bit long. Every time he thought it was almost over, the nurse would replace the blood collection tube with an empty one.
When the blood drawing was finished, the small basket for the blood collection tubes was full, and Wu Lan couldn't even count how many tubes of blood had been drawn.
He couldn't help but ask, "Why do I need to draw so many tubes of blood?"
"Because your physical exam includes a lot of blood tests, and they just drew ten tubes of blood."
The nurse wrote something on the physical examination form and returned it to Wu Lan.
"Okay, the needle hole needs to be pressed for ten minutes. Please go sit in the rest area in the back."
Not daring to delay the nurse's work, Wu Lan took the physical examination form, sat obediently in the rest area, and punched 2720.
【Did you touch me just now? 】
After having her blood drawn, Wu Lan's lips became noticeably lighter and her face was pale. Only her almond-shaped eyes were lively and blinked.
Without waiting for 2720 to reply, he continued, "You must have touched me and even pulled my hand."
Detective Wu was a bit excited about this new discovery, feeling it was so novel, but also a bit depressed. [He secretly grew a body without telling me, so are we still the best in the world?]
【......】
2720 coughed unnaturally. "It's not a body that has grown secretly. I upgraded my system yesterday and added a touch function. This new function has usage restrictions, so it can't be used all the time."
Seeing that Wu Lan still had a puffy face, the system paused.
【Next time there is a new feature, I will tell you as soon as possible. 】
Wu Lan was coaxed.
The needle hole for drawing blood stopped bleeding, but Wu Lan still pressed it for ten minutes before throwing away the cotton swab.
The next inspection items were much easier.
Wu Lan took advantage of the early hour and did other less time-consuming projects first, and then went for the abdominal color ultrasound examination.
He placed the physical examination form on the table at the door of the examination room and sat quietly waiting for his number to be called.
After waiting for a long time, the door of the examination room was finally opened.
The man who came out with the medical examination form had his clothes a little messy. He adjusted them as he walked. After he walked away, a doctor in a white coat came out.
He picked up the physical examination form on the table and looked at it. Instead of calling the next person in for examination immediately, he walked into the office next door.
A moment later, another male doctor came out with a physical examination form in his hand.
This doctor was much taller than the previous doctor. His face couldn't be seen clearly because he was wearing a mask, but his brow bones and nose bridge were very high, and his eyes were as deep as a foreigner's.
"Who is Wu Lan?"
The doctor's standard Mandarin made Wu Lan stunned. He quickly stood up and pointed at himself: "It's me."
Qi Yanshan looked at the young man who stood up, his expression paused for a moment, and quickly returned to normal.
"Please follow me in."
Following the doctor into the examination room, Wu Lan first noticed that this examination room was very different from the others. It was dimly lit, with a bed in the middle and a machine next to it that he couldn't understand.
"Are you fasting now?"
“Yes, yes.”
Wu Lan quickly withdrew his gaze and stood by the bed at a loss, not knowing what to do next.
"Okay. Come over here and lie down on the bed. Pull your shirt up to your chest and your pants down to your pubic bone. Place your hands naturally at your sides."
Listening to a series of instructions, Wu Lan's face turned red silently. She lowered her head and sat on the bed, pulling her clothes and pants to the designated positions as required.
He lay down flat on his back and found the doctor sitting in front of the machine next to him looking at him.
"Pull your pants down a little bit so your hair is showing."
The doctor's voice was steady and emotionless, but Wu Lan had the hallucination of tinnitus and the temperature on his face rose sharply.
He pulled his pants down lower with trembling hands, and he began to secretly feel lucky that the room was dimly lit and the doctor would not be able to see his blushing face.
"Is this okay?"
Wu Lan's voice trembled with nervousness, and his skin felt a little cold when exposed to the air, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
He was afraid that if he didn't do it properly, it would affect the physical examination.
But he has already pulled his pants down very low. If that doesn't work, then he will have to pull them down completely...
"Okay, so you didn't..."
The doctor stopped talking mid-sentence.
After hearing this, Wu Lan became inexplicably nervous again. When she was about to muster up the courage to ask, something cold suddenly squeezed against her belly and she shivered.
The next second, the cold sticky liquid was pushed and spread by the probe, and the whole belly became sticky.
The probe held by the doctor slid back and forth across her belly again and again. Wu Lan could clearly feel the probe getting hot, and her stomach felt a little itchy and sore.
I looked up at the doctor, who was staring at the screen of the machine seriously, looking very professional.
The probe pressed on her abdomen, causing it to feel sore and itchy. Wu Lan couldn't help but groan a few times. When the doctor looked over, she immediately explained embarrassedly, "Doctor, you're pressing so hard here..."
His voice was very small and soft, sounding like he was acting coquettishly.
Because of nervousness and shyness, the boy's mouth was tightly pursed, and his big eyes like black pearls were watery, reflecting the doctor's shadow. The delicate corners of his eyes were red with shyness.
He lay flat on the bed obediently, his skin exposed to the air smooth and white, as if covered in milk. His flat belly couldn't help but shrink inwards from being pressed, a very cute reaction.
Qi Yanshan tightened his grip on the probe and whispered, "We're checking your spleen and kidneys now. Be patient."
Worried that she would affect the doctor's work, Wu Lan gritted her teeth and pursed her lips tightly.
"Now raise your hands above your head with your arms touching your ears."
Another cold instruction was given, and Wu Lan did as he was told.
But just as he raised his hands above his head, his body shook subconsciously, his stomach contracted several times, and a small groaning sound came out again.
The probe slid across my upper abdomen, and the cold and sticky touch made me feel cold all over and gave me goose bumps.
Wu Lan felt like a fish on a chopping board at this moment. The probe was like a knife, scraping his entire body with its sharp blade.
Such torture made Wu Lan a little dazed.
"You can put your hands down now. I've finished checking the upper abdomen."
But before Wu Lan could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the doctor say, "Begin the examination of the lower abdomen."
"Do you want to go to the bathroom now?"
The sudden question startled Wu Lan. He felt the temperature on his face was even higher than before, and he nodded under the doctor's gaze.
"Yes, it's a bit urgent."
Although he had been fasting all day, when the doctor pressed his stomach just now, he felt a little urgent to urinate, so he ran to the toilet as soon as the examination was over.
"very good."
Unexpectedly, she would be praised for doing so. Wu Lan looked at the doctor in confusion, her head full of question marks.
But the doctor didn't seem to notice his confusion and said calmly, "Now straighten your legs naturally, and you can separate them slightly."
Wu Lan did as she was told again.
The cold mucus squeezed into Wu Lan's abdomen. Before she could feel the coldness, the slightly swollen abdomen was pressed hard by the probe the next second, and a sharp sour and numb feeling instantly spread throughout her body.
His legs were shaking and he couldn't help but put them together, but they were separated by the doctor.
"No, you can't cross your legs."
Wu Lan's eye sockets were red because of the urgency to pee, and there was a thin mist in them. Her red lips with bitten teeth marks were slightly open, and the tip of her tongue stuck out unconsciously.
His head was tilted back unnaturally, highlighting the slender white neck lines. His clenched fists were so tight that the knuckles turned white. His thin body was shaking and twisting on the bed, trembling badly.
Qi Yanshan saw all these reactions.
Trying to suppress the urgency of soreness, Wu Lan was asked to change his posture. He bent his legs close to his abdomen and curled up like a baby with his back to the doctor.
He no longer had any idea what he was being examined for and could only pray that the examination would be over quickly. However, he also hoped that the doctor would do a more thorough examination as he did not want to waste this free physical examination opportunity.
Unable to see the doctor, Wu Lan simply closed her eyes.
In the darkness, only the senses are most obvious.
The machine was cold and seemed to be covered with a cold, sticky liquid that slowly crawled into the body like a snake.
This feeling is so strange, so uncomfortable, so cold, so swollen...
There is a feeling of being burst.
"Relax, don't be nervous."
The doctor's voice seemed a little different from the beginning, but Wu Lan didn't have the energy to analyze this change. His eyes were red and he was shaking like a little rabbit, almost crying from fear.
But even though he was so scared, he still cautiously told the doctor, "Please, please check more thoroughly."
As if afraid of being at a disadvantage.
Time became unusually long, and at the same time, strange abnormalities began to appear in the body.
Suddenly, that thing touched something unknown, and Wu Lan's waist suddenly became weak, her stomach contracted violently, and her small body trembled pitifully, shaking like a sieve.
A little crystal liquid flowed from the corner of his open mouth, his eyes were completely dull, his eyes, nose and mouth were all red, and his humming was mixed with a hint of crying, looking extremely pitiful.
"The body is healthy, the images are very clear, and no nodules, cysts or stones were found..."
Wu Lan gradually regained consciousness. He looked at the doctor and found that the doctor was using a tissue to wipe the remaining mucus on his body.
The tissues used in the hospital seemed different from those outside. They were very hard and felt very uncomfortable when rubbed on the skin, but the doctor's movements were very light and gentle.
After that inexplicable strange feeling faded away, Wu Lan felt that she had no strength in her body and could not get out of bed for a while. The places on her body that were wiped by the tissue were very sensitive and she would tremble slightly unconsciously.
Fortunately, the doctor did not urge him to get up quickly. After he had regained some strength, he slowly sat up.
The bed he was sitting on was covered with a thin light blue bedspread, which had turned dark blue due to the moisture from where he had lain.
He soiled the bedspread. Does he have to pay for it?
Wu Lan was thinking about the compensation when her shirt was pulled down by the doctor. A warm big hand appeared on her head and patted her gently.
"Put your pants on yourself and you can go."
"Uh-huh."
After getting out of bed, Wu Lan lowered her head to put on her pants and straightened her clothes. She pointed at the wet bedspread with some concern and asked carefully, "Do I need to pay for this?"
"No, this is a one-time thing."
Qi Yanshan handed the physical examination form to Wu Lan. His deep eyes swept over this exceptionally beautiful face, and he pursed his thin lips under the mask.
"I've looked at the remaining projects you need to do. They don't require fasting. You can go eat something first."
Unexpectedly, the seemingly cold doctor would be so considerate and gentle. Wu Lan thanked the doctor very sincerely, as if she had forgotten the fear she had just felt during the examination.
As he walked out of the examination room, he noticed the doctor coming out as well.
The doctor was talking to another doctor, and he could vaguely hear the doctor on the other side say, "Thank you for covering for me just now, brother. Today's schedule is really..."
Wu Lan only heard a little bit of the conversation. He didn't stop and walked out of the examination room and headed towards the bathroom at the end of the corridor.
His stomach had been pressed several times just now, and it was so sore that he thought he would not be able to hold it in several times and be embarrassed on the spot.
Fortunately, he endured it in the end.
Wu Lan's eyes were fixed on the bathroom sign, so she didn't notice the tall man in a floral shirt behind her. The man was stunned when he saw him, then he immediately followed.
As expected of a private hospital, even the restrooms are excellent. The space is spacious and clean, brightly lit, and the air is filled with a pleasant aromatherapy scent.
There was no one in the restroom and the cubicles were empty.
Wu Lan picked a cubicle at random. He hurriedly pulled down his pants and wanted to go to the toilet, but for some reason, he couldn't get out even though he was in a hurry.
This feeling is a thousand times more uncomfortable than before.
He was so anxious that his stomach hurt and his eyes turned red, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't pee.
I was about to cry.
Wu Lan thought about the previous examination and wondered if the doctor had made a wrong diagnosis and that there was actually something wrong with his body.
Is the body broken?
He doesn't want it to break.
Wu Lan pursed her lips in sadness, grievance, and fear. Tears began to well up in her eyes, her nose was red, and she kept muttering to herself, "What should I do, what should I do..."
He was extremely panicked, but had no one to turn to for help.
When he remembered that he could ask 2720, there was a sudden sound of a door closing in the next compartment, followed by a very light whistle.
Finally, the sound of dripping water was heard in Wu Lan's cubicle.
You have to listen to the whistle before you can pee.
Wu Lan felt like the sky was falling.
He sat helplessly on the toilet, wiping his tears, sniffing his red nose, and talking to 2720 with grievance through his red eyes. He looked so pitiful.
【Woo woo system...】
【I feel like I'm really broken.】
