Chapter 60 Online Romance with a Bad Beta 13: A Beautiful Doctor with Good Looks but No Medical Ethics
The smell was very faint, lasting only a second. When you smelled it again, you could only smell the disinfectant from the operating room, mixed with a bitter medicinal smell.
At first, Xi Congshuang couldn't tell what the smell was. She loosened her grip and placed the person in her arms on the bed.
"..."
It wasn't until Tan Yicheng's bottom touched the bed that she realized what had just happened.
She was being carried to bed like a child. It happened so suddenly and unbelievably that she was stunned for a long time.
Tan Yicheng: "Why did you carry me to bed?"
Xi Congshuang was puzzled: "Isn't it our duty to take care of a patient after surgery and help her get back to her bed?"
The nurses had taken care of her like this when she was hospitalized before, and she was just learning from their methods.
Tan Yicheng: "..."
Sometimes she really didn't understand whether Xi Congshuang was smart or just pretending to be stupid. After looking at Xi Congshuang for a long time, she realized that she really thought that way, and she was speechless.
She had never heard of anyone needing to be carried back to their bed after surgery. Out of 100 patients after surgery, 98 could lie back down on their own, the remaining one lost consciousness, and the other one was Tan Yicheng.
Judging from Tan Yicheng's reaction, Xi Congshuang knew that she had made another basic mistake in interstellar knowledge.
It seems that interstellar medical technology is a hundred times more advanced than she imagined, and she suddenly felt a little envious of such a living environment.
Xi Congshuang said, "You get some rest, I'll head out now."
"Xi Congshuang." The person on the bed suddenly called out to her. Xi Congshuang stopped and turned around.
Tan Yicheng didn't look this way, but looked out the window. She was like a wounded caged bird, constantly yearning for freedom outside the cage.
It's not that the cages weren't exquisite and ornate enough, the nests weren't soft enough, or the care wasn't meticulous enough; it's just that no bird ever likes a cage.
It is time to make a decision.
Tan Yicheng said, "Once I recover, we'll be even, and I won't retaliate against you."
Whether it's a split personality or something else, she doesn't want to get entangled in that kind of life anymore, as it will only do her no good.
Xi Congshuang was taken aback and stood in front of the door, looking bewildered.
She still remembers the intense killing intent of that night, the look in her eyes that seemed to want nothing more than to get rid of him; she never imagined she would let it go so quickly.
She wanted to say that being soft-hearted is not a good thing, and she also wanted to say something else, but in the end she said nothing.
After opening the door and returning to her room, Xi Congshuang was still thinking about the smell she had just caught.
After a while, the person sitting on the sofa picked up a strand of hair that was hanging down in front of their chest and smelled it.
She remembered; it smelled like citrus.
Unexpectedly, Tan Yicheng is an alpha with citrus-scented pheromones, sweet and sour.
*
Before the two-month recovery period was over, just one month after the surgery, Tan Yicheng, who couldn't stay idle, chose to return to school.
After a follow-up examination, Professor Wei Lin agreed to her request to resume her studies, but she must have regular check-ups and continue taking her medication during the check-up period.
Tan Yicheng agreed to all the conditions; she would do anything to let her go back to school.
Things are only valued when compared. Red Apple only felt that Tan Yicheng followed the doctor's advice, which made Xi Congshuang seem to be very reluctant to seek medical treatment.
As for repeating past mistakes, judging from the current situation, that possibility is not yet present.
Rumors about the two of them are everywhere. Nurses who only believe in wages and not love are almost shipping this couple, trying to believe in love again and add some spice to their work-life balance.
According to the nurses, Xi Congshuang and Tan Yicheng are only one proposal away from getting married, but the couple themselves are still in a state of mutual distrust.
The chances of sparks flying are extremely slim, and getting married is even more impossible.
Even if it exists, Little Apple can't stop it; after all, it's just Little Apple. TvT
It tried, but Xi Congshuang is a stubborn person. The more you try to persuade her, the more obsessed she becomes, and then she sings "I will love you even if I die" again, and her mental state becomes anthropomorphic once more.
Now it can only pray that Xi Congshuang's tastes will remain consistent and unwavering, and also pray that the mission will be completed as soon as possible.
After thinking for a moment, Red Apple said to Xi Congshuang, "A person can do anything for a mission."
Xi Congshuang seemed thoughtful: "Is that so?"
Red Apple: "Mmm." Raising the banner of "Everything for the Mission!"
Xi Congshuang nodded: "That's good."
*
Tan Yicheng was indeed anxious about returning to school. She had thought about it and realized that if she waited until she was fully recovered before enrolling, she wouldn't be able to accumulate enough credits to advance to the next level of education.
The First College adopts a credit system for graduation. If you don't have enough credits, you can't graduate. Every year, there are many senior students who can't graduate.
It is said that the five years spent in the mecha department are the longest ten years of one's life.
Each year, credits are required for college admission, and she hasn't accumulated enough credits to get in.
If she resumes her studies now, she can still start school at the same time as the next batch of students. If she misses all the theoretical exams at the start of the semester, she will have to wait until the next academic year, and by then she will be waiting for a very long time to graduate.
Continuing to waste time in the hospital would be a waste, so I decided to seize the time to go back to school.
In the end, she did indeed get her wish and returned to school.
At first, she was not used to the lively campus life and was overly concerned about the glands on the back of her neck. When she raised her hand to touch them, she would feel the suppression patch prescribed by the hospital.
She felt a smooth touch on the back of her neck; the patch contained medicinal ingredients, and she could always detect a faint medicinal smell.
Despite the fact that it was like a shackle, Tan Yicheng felt at ease because of it, and she cherished this hard-won opportunity to return to school.
Being able to walk openly in school, freely in crowded places without being stimulated by residual pheromones in the air, causing pain in the glands at the back of the neck and loss of reason.
The side effects of gland damage are never as simple as just being unable to be labeled. Being unable to be labeled is only the mildest side effect. In addition, there is also the inability to control the release of one's own pheromones.
Furthermore, the excruciating pain in the glands is no less than the pain of countless people cutting the back of someone's neck with a blunt knife; no one can remain rational in such agony.
If she hadn't stopped that night and had actually killed that person, she wouldn't be able to stand here and see the sun.
Xi Congshuang will never know that she endured a night of torment before Tan Yicheng made up his mind to come to her door.
Determined not to let the other party get away so easily, she took a knife and went to the address she knew by heart.
Then I met Xi Congshuang, who was completely unexpected...
"Tsk, why am I thinking about her again? Is my second personality somehow related to me?" Tan Yicheng said, annoyed.
Lately, she has been thinking about Xi Congshuang a lot. During her time in the hospital, she got too used to Xi Congshuang's presence, and now that she has returned to her normal life, she feels uncomfortable.
They were even now, and would never have the chance to meet again; they would each go their own way.
"What's your relationship with the senior?" A clear voice came from behind, and someone walked up to her.
Another voice came from the other end: "We agreed to go out for dinner together after the mechanics exam, but you didn't wait for us, senior."
Tan Yicheng had just finished his mecha theory exam and had only taken a few steps when he was attacked from both sides by two classmates.
In Tan Yicheng's view, being classmates with alphas a year younger than her classmates was no different from her previous classmates. However, she did not expect that the alphas a year younger than her classmates would be much more enthusiastic than her classmates.
They lingered around her every day, calling her "senior sister" this and "senior sister" that, which gave Tan Yicheng a headache.
They even said that the two of them watched her competition and were so impressed by her skill in operating the mecha that they were scalp-tingling and admired her greatly. Tan Yicheng took it all as just polite talk and didn't take it seriously.
After all, her former classmate, who had been close to her, told her one moment that he would make her family admit their mistake and that her talent should not be wasted, and the next moment he had his sister pretend to have amnesia and buy a boat ticket to escape.
Xiang Wei looked at the smart device in her hand: "It's still early, senior, let's go eat."
The other person was still concerned about what they had just heard. Qi Qianqian asked, "Senior, what was your relationship with so-and-so again?"
Tan Yicheng: "..."
These two were quite carefree, not at all feeling that Tan Yicheng had deliberately left them out, and still extended a warm invitation.
Xiang Wei: "The big chicken leg is almost gone, are we still going to eat?"
Qi Qianqian: "Why does your expression look so strange, senior? Is she your ex-girlfriend?"
Tan Yicheng finally stopped, looked to her right, and pointed to her face: "Is my expression easy to read?"
Why does everyone say her expression is strange?
Qi Qianqian pondered, "Hmm... how should I put it?"
Xiang Wei, who was thinking about the big chicken leg, hurriedly said, "Senior, don't pay attention to her. Qianzi's alpha mother is a psychologist. Her first book for learning to read was her mother's thick professional book. She has a family background in education and is quite knowledgeable about micro-expressions. If you pay attention to her, you'll fall into her trap."
She then said, "So, shall we go eat chicken legs?"
Qi Qianqian said shyly, "Oh, don't expose me."
Tan Yicheng: "." I've been tricked.
There was one thing she couldn't understand: Qi Qianqian's family background in scholarship was one thing, but what about Xi Congshuang?
Even if her facial expressions don't reach the standard of not showing her emotions, she shouldn't be so easy for others to understand. How come Xi Congshuang sees through her every time?
Unable to understand, Tan Yicheng still took one of his two children to the cafeteria to eat big chicken leg rice.
These past few days have all been theoretical exams, and she's adapted well so far, not finding them particularly difficult.
After getting her food, she was about to go to her seat with her classmates when she caught a glimpse of a tall, slender figure walking through the crowd. The figure looked very familiar.
Tan Yicheng subconsciously looked up and saw only a horde of students, as fierce as tigers and wolves, coming to eat. He couldn't see where the figure had gone.
You must have misread it.
Why would Xi Congshuang be here? She should be at the company, or stargazing on some spaceship. In any case, it's none of her business.
On the other side, Qi Qianqian, who was sitting in her seat, kept calling out, "Here, here, senior sister, here."
Xiang Wei sat next to her, eating her favorite chicken leg without looking up.
She overslept this morning and forgot to eat breakfast. She rushed to the exam hall and spent the whole morning taking the mecha theory exam. She was starving and desperately needed a chicken leg to save her life.
Tan Yicheng sat down with her tray and began to eat. She took an extra bottle of water compared to the two people who were with her, as she would need to use it to take her medicine later.
People love to chat while eating, and energetic alphas are no exception.
Qi Qianqian is always the one who generates a lot of buzz; she can say things that many people don't know.
For example, right now, Qi Qianqian said mysteriously, "Have you heard? A new doctor has come to the school hospital these past few days. She's tall, has long, straight black hair, is very beautiful, and has a cold temper."
Xiang Wei: "Huh? How did you know?"
Tan Yicheng continued eating expressionlessly. She didn't need to ask the questions that were on her mind; someone else would do it for her, like Xiang Wei.
Nothing is more exciting than the positive reactions of those around you when a topic is brought up, and Qi Qianqian revealed a smug smile.
An alpha eating next door chimed in, "Not only that, she doesn't smile much either, what a pity."
Qi Qianqian's curiosity grew even stronger: "That aloof, cold-hearted older sister who doesn't smile much has always been my type."
The alpha said, "No problem, me too. If I hadn't arrived late, I would have ended up eating at the same table as her."
Before Qi Qianqian could ask when she would appear, the alpha said, "It's a pity she's been bothering a lot lately. She eats and leaves right when we students are having lunch. She left quite late today, so I only ran into her at the door."
Qi Qianqian slapped her thigh repeatedly: "That's such a pity. I've been busy preparing for the exam these past few days and I actually missed such an important message."
The alpha looked at him with pity: "You're from the mecha department, right?"
Qi Qianqian said with a bitter face: "That's right!"
As expected, he received sympathetic looks from the mecha repair students. Everyone knew that the mecha department was the cradle of generals, but also a hell for students.
The requirements were so strict they were almost harsh. Not only did students have to learn mecha operation, mecha theory, mecha maintenance theory, mecha maintenance practice, command and layout, geographical surveying... basically, they had to be proficient in all subjects, hence the name "all-rounder."
It's not uncommon for students majoring in mecha to go crazy while studying.
Qi Qianqian took the opportunity to vent her grievances, which led Xiang Wei, who was beside her, to join in complaining about the difficulties of the mecha system.
"..."
She has exceptionally beautiful long, straight black hair, and doesn't smile much.
Tan Yicheng lowered his head to eat, recalling the description of the female alpha, and the image of a person unconsciously popped into his mind.
She quickly shook her head, clearing the familiar figure from her mind.
This is a wealthy heiress; she has nothing to do with people like her, and there will never be any connection between them.
After lunch, there were still two hours until the next exam, so I had some free time during those two hours.
Most alphas are sharp-witted and quick-witted, and those who can get close to students in the mecha department are even more outstanding. However, theoretical exams are not difficult for them at all; the most difficult part is practical operation.
Qi Qianqian said, "I'm still very curious about the new school doctor. Should we go see him? Avi has a scrape on his hand, so that's a good reason."
Young people are like that; they have intense emotions, are passionate, and their moods come and go quickly. They're always ready to do something on a whim.
Xiang Wei was speechless: "Seriously? You want to see a pretty lady use me as an excuse? What if that pretty doctor thinks I'm some kind of fragile and delicate alpha? What will I do with my image?"
Qi Qianqian: "She doesn't even know you, why would she care about her image?"
Xiang Wei: "Just because you don't know me now doesn't mean you won't know me in the future."
Qi Qianqian: "That makes sense. How about I find a pillar and bang my head against it? That should be a valid reason, right?"
Xiang Wei thought it was feasible. She pointed to a pillar in the pavilion not far away: "If you take a running start and crash into it, the hardness of an alpha skull will be just enough to give you a mild concussion."
Qi Qianqian felt it was even more feasible: "It's only mild, it definitely won't affect the afternoon exam."
The two plotted in front of Tan Yicheng how to injure themselves so they could meet the new school doctor. Qi Qianqian even looked at the pillar with great interest.
"..." Tan Yicheng wanted to leave, afraid of being infected with some kind of low-intelligence virus.
Students from other departments are right about the students in the mecha department. This major is prone to producing idiots; they go crazy while studying it. They should switch majors as soon as possible before graduation.
On the internet, the evaluation of this major can be summed up in one word: Run!!!
"Senior, do you want to go take a look too?" Qi Qianqian called out to Tan Yicheng. "Senior, you don't need to bang your head against the pillar. You take us both to the school doctor and pretend to be students passing by doing a good deed."
Tan Yicheng: "..." Does she think she can just throw away her pride after sending two idiots over there?
Faced with two pairs of expectant eyes, she shook her head and refused: "I'm not going. I need to go back to take the next exam. I need to get an A grade to accumulate credits."
*
In the end, Tan Yicheng took the two of them to the school doctor.
Qi Qianqian didn't bump into a pillar, and Xiang Wei didn't pretend to be pitiful by showing off his arm with only a scraped skin. It was because the two of them accidentally stepped on the wrong step while chasing Tan Yicheng that they both fell face down.
Forced to become the culprit for their injuries, Tan Yicheng carried them to the school doctor, one in each arm.
Along the way, the two of them were completely disoriented and lost their bearings. Although the alpha's skull was relatively hard, he was still prone to feeling dizzy.
Qi Qianqian said weakly and guiltily, "I'm sorry, senior. If I was the only one who bumped my head, you wouldn't have needed to bring me here."
Xiang Wei, sounding equally weak, said, "Yes, at least I can help her and help her find the right direction."
Students passing by overheard the conversation, looked over in surprise, and began to whisper amongst themselves.
"Mecha-themed, right?"
"Mecha series, like a mecha series."
"Isn't that too arbitrary?"
Qi Qianqian: "I feel so guilty for interfering with your exam this afternoon, senior. I'm so dizzy..."
"Mecha-related, it really is a mecha-related major."
"Today, only the mecha department is having its exam, so the exam room is occupied."
Xiang Wei wanted to say something more: "Senior, I..."
Tan Yicheng solemnly stopped him: "Alright, stop talking. Let's leave some reputation for our mecha department."
Both of them said in unison, "Oh."
Tan Yicheng continued carrying one husky in each hand to the school clinic.
"Is anyone home? Could you please come out and check?"
The doctor, who was organizing medicines in the school's medicine cabinet, was greeted by new patients. She peeked in and saw two tall, young students walking in, each holding their forehead and supporting the other.
"Doctor, doctor, my classmate and I bumped our heads. It hurts so much, and I feel like throwing up. Do you think our heads are cracked?"
The other one fell quite hard and was still dizzy, his head spinning.
We agreed to come see what a pretty doctor looks like after the fall, but instead, my vision was so blurry that I could only see double and couldn't make out who was in front of me.
They vaguely remember someone standing in front of them and saying, "Let me see, is it serious?"
Just by hearing that voice, you can tell that the person is definitely good-looking.
The two thought she was talking to them, so they immediately started crying out, saying how serious it was, how dizzy they felt, and that they felt like they were going to die, hoping the doctor could bandage them up.
Looking down at his hands, he had no idea how he had managed to transform himself into the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King.
Red Apple replied, "It's not serious. It's just redness and abrasions from the fall, and a slight concussion. Alphas are physically strong, so they'll recover in an hour."
A doctor's assistant, who is good-looking but lacks medical ethics, stands by the table and casually picks up a bottle of bruise spray.
“Your condition isn’t serious. It’s just a broken skin and a little redness and swelling. A little topical ointment will do the trick,” Xi Congshuang said. “Here, reach for the ointment and spray it on the wound through the mirror.”
The cool, refreshing medicine bottle was placed in their hands. The two were stunned for a moment, and then actually stood up and went to the mirror to spray the medicine on themselves.
The last visitor to the school hospital stood at the door. She didn't come in, but stared in shock at the figure in a white coat inside.
Xi Congshuang seemed to be in a good mood and smiled at her: "Excuse me, are you feeling unwell?"
Tan Yicheng asked with difficulty, "...Doctor?"
In her mind, someone like Xi Congshuang should have studied a major related to running a company. Why would she become a school doctor?
Xi Congshuang spread her hands: "Doctor's assistant, I only have a pharmacist's certificate, not a practicing physician's certificate."
She wasn't lying. The original owner studied pharmacy in college, which made it easier to graduate because of her powerful connections. She didn't study business administration.
Tan Yicheng: "..."
Good heavens, this tone and this answer are definitely Xi Congshuang, the real deal, not her twin sister.
Tan Yicheng looked at the name tag tucked into the pocket of the white coat, which showed the name as Xi Zhaoxue.
Another new pseudonym.
