Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The Kind School Doctor
The school clinic is located on the ground floor of the complex building between the playground and the gymnasium.
At this moment, Jiang Shizao was sitting on the edge of the white examination bed in the room. In this quiet atmosphere, he was thinking seriously about the series of events that had happened before.
In fact, when Wen Xu said that the warm wind blew the catkins around Jiangcheng, Jiang Shizao's heart was touched for a moment.
Because Jiangcheng——
Jiang Shi came from Jiangcheng a long time ago.
In the medical room, Wen Helin's figure was right in front of the medical equipment cabinet within Jiang Shizao's sight. He had his back to him and seemed to be looking for some tools.
There was a computer on the table facing the entrance of the school clinic, with piles of files and a metal nameplate next to it.
Jiang Shizao's gaze fell on the nameplate, where black letters were engraved: Wen Helin.
The school doctor's name is Wen Helin.
After that, Jiang Shizao's gaze returned to Wen Helin's back. He watched him slowly take out a tape measure from the equipment cabinet.
...What is this used for?
At this time, Jiang Shizao also thought of another thing.
In Lingcheng, "Wen" seems to be a very common surname.
Jiang Shizao thought of his neighbor Wen Zhi, Wen Qianchuan whom he met on the bus, and the transfer student Wen Xu whom he had just met...Finally, he looked at the school doctor in front of him, Wen Helin.
They all have the surname Wen.
Almost at the same time, he also thought of the author Abyss.
In a previous author interview, the interviewer mentioned the novelist Abyss's last name and called him "Teacher Wen."
Jiang Shizao felt that he might have figured out the possible logical connection between them.
Because the author Abyss's surname is Wen, in the novel world he created, many passers-by who exist like background boards are automatically given the surname Wen.
For example, the school doctor who never appeared in the known plot of the original work, and the people living on the south bank of Lingcheng.
"What are you thinking about?"
At this moment, a mature and magnetic voice sounded in the school clinic where only two people were, bringing Jiang Shizao back to his senses.
Jiang Shizao looked at the school doctor who had already walked to the side of the examination bed.
Although he was just standing there, the other person's tall figure was like a towering mountain, as if it could come down at any time and shackle everything.
Jiang Shizao's breathing suddenly became rapid for some reason.
Although there was a gentle smile on Wen Helin's face and in his eyes, Jiang Shizao strangely felt a little nervous.
The tension made his cheeks heat up subtly.
As early as the first day Jiang Shizao came here, he had already clearly understood that his situation was "wearing a mask".
That's why he was more careful and vigilant.
Because this is his own body! If something unexpected happened to him in the world of the book, Jiang Shizao didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
The white woven lamp in the school clinic is very bright, and the examination bed is located next to the window.
Although Wen He had drawn the partition curtains around them before leaving, placing him and Jiang Shizao in a more private space, the white woven lamp above and the light from the window still made the space as bright as day.
Logically speaking, Jiang Shizao should not feel nervous in such an environment.
What's more, the school doctor in front of him looked like a kind and enthusiastic person.
In the end, Jiang Shizao attributed his abnormal reaction to the abnormal frequency of ghost sightings he had today.
He didn't know what was going on, but the frequency of his encounters with supernatural phenomena seemed to have suddenly increased... or rather, it was abnormally high.
Just today, in just one morning, he had already encountered at least four supernatural phenomena.
From the woman on Platform 13 of South Bank Station, to the students on the stairs, to the strange water stains in the classroom corridor, and finally the person hanging under the basketball hoop...
Just recalling it, Jiang Shizao couldn't help but shudder. He wasn't sure if this situation was just today, or if the world had truly undergone some unknown change.
Yes, there must be some kind of change in this world, because he can see ghosts on sunny days, which at least means that the ghosts have become more active... But why is this? Is it related to the arrival of him, the book traveler?
But the ghosts hadn't been this active in the previous week. He'd already been here a week, yet the change had only just begun. If it had nothing to do with him, what could have caused it?
In this state of deep uncertainty, Jiang Shizao looked at the school doctor in front of him.
Wen Helin bent down slightly at this time, and his eyes behind the glasses looked deeply at the person sitting on the edge of the bed.
Jiang Shizao probably didn't realize how captivating his own eyes were. It was as if his entire being was written in those eyes, filling those who looked at them with...infinite pity.
Especially when helplessness appears in those eyes, you can feel that he is asking you for help.
"...Shi Zao." When Wen Helin spoke, his outstretched hand had already reached under Jiang Shi Zao's legs.
In just a few short seconds, Jiang Shi, who was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, had been changed by Wen Helin.
Wen Helin placed his legs on the examination bed, and Jiang Shizao also changed from sitting on the edge of the bed to sitting upright on the bed.
After Wen Helin put his legs on the bed, he considerately helped him take off his shoes.
Wen Helin's movements were so natural, like flowing water, so natural that Jiang Shizao didn't even have time to react before he was already placed in the right place.
"Uh..." Jiang Shizao, who was a little slow, originally wanted to say that he could take off his shoes by himself... but in the end he only had time to say one sentence:
"Thank you...Teacher Wen."
"You're welcome."
After doing all this, Wen Helin stood up again. He had just bent down to place the boy's sneakers on the smooth floor of the school infirmary.
Afterwards, he wiped his hands with the medical wipes beside him. This was not because he disliked that his fingers had just touched Jiang Shizao's sneakers and white socks, but because of what he was going to do next...
Wen Helin's hand gently pressed on the boy's knee.
His body temperature was lower than Jiang Shizao's. At that moment, Jiang Shizao felt a cool touch, rising on his knees and then dissipating. But as the touch deepened, the feeling gradually warmed up, until it climbed along his nerves all the way to the central area of his brain.
The school doctor clearly just touched his knee with his hand.
But in this unfamiliar contact, a few sounds actually escaped from Jiang Shizao's lips uncontrollably.
The strange sound scared him so much that he almost covered his mouth with his hand!
Then he met the school doctor's gentle gaze.
"...Yes, it's a little itchy." Jiang Shizao explained in a low voice, his eyes full of embarrassment.
Wen Helin said very considerately and sympathetically: "It's okay. If you feel itchy, you can scream... This is normal."
Jiang Shizao felt even more embarrassed.
He was an adult after all, so why would he scream out when someone touched his knee? He didn't remember having this problem before.
At this time, Wen Helin raised his hand and supported Jiang Shizao's shoulder, indicating that the boy could lie down.
"Let me give you a protective massage." Wen Helin said in a gentle voice.
"Oh…oh okay."
Jiang Shizao thought to himself after he lay down:
Maybe... maybe... it's because the school doctor's massage technique is so good...
Jiang Shizao's cheeks turned slightly red, and as his eyes drifted, he thought that he had never enjoyed such treatment before!
The school doctor of Lingcheng High School is so responsible!
Afterwards, Jiang Shizao also knew what the tape measure that Wen Helin had found in the instrument cabinet was used for.
Wen Helin placed a tape measure on the boy's knee, lowered his head and observed carefully: "There is no swelling."
Jiang Shizao didn't know the exact diagnostic process, but it sounded like it wasn't a big problem, which made him feel relieved.
He could feel Wen Helin's body temperature gradually getting warmer, because after he put down the tape measure, his slender fingers pressed on his skin again.
But the touch is no longer as cool as it was at the beginning.
After that, Wen Helin not only massaged Jiang Shizao's knees, but also his thighs, calves, ankles... and finally the soles of his feet, he helped Jiang Shizao relax.
During this process, Jiang Shizao couldn't hold back and screamed a few times.
Whenever this happened, the school doctor would considerately pause and look at him with a gentle, almost tolerant gaze.
...and Jiang Shi had already worked even harder, enduring this protective process to the very end, not giving up halfway. After all...he was a strong adult.
But I clearly didn't sweat while playing basketball just now, but now I can feel a small wet spot on my sweatshirt.
During physical education class at Lingcheng High School, students change out of their school uniforms and into their sweatshirts. If they've been doing some intense exercise, they can wash up in the showers in the locker room before class ends.
Jiang Shi had already been considering whether he should clean it up.
But he glanced at the digital clock on the cabinet next to him. It was almost time for class to end. By the time he got there, there might not be anyone else in the shower room. If he went to a place like that alone now...
It's like giving away your life.
Empty shower room...
Jiang Shizao hesitated for a second.
At this moment, he heard Wen Helin's voice:
"It's early. Your clothes seem to be soaked."
Wen Helin looked at Jiang Shizao, who was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and sky blue shorts. His hand had just been placed on the sky blue.
"There are showers in the school infirmary. Do you want to use them?"
"Is it okay?" Jiang Shizao answered subconsciously, his eyes wandering for a moment... The independent shower room in the school clinic didn't feel particularly safe either.
Although the kind school doctor in front of us may be outside.
But after all, there is a space between them...
If something appeared at that time and he bumped into it...
Then Jiang Shi had already heard:
"Let me stay with you... You just had a restorative massage, so your muscles are more sensitive. I can watch you from the side to prevent you from accidentally falling while washing."
Wen Helin spoke word by word, and every word sounded reasonable.
"...Is that so?" Jiang Shizao looked at the kind school doctor again.
Of course, he would be very touched if someone was willing to accompany him to the shower room.
The next second, "Thank you so much, Teacher Wen." Jiang Shizao was moved from the bottom of his heart.
"You're welcome." Wen Helin raised the corner of his lips slightly, and he said:
"I have some clean, unworn school uniforms here that I can lend you."
"!" Jiang Shizao almost burst into tears when he heard this. The school doctor is really comprehensive!
The Wen Helin in front of him was just like those good people in novels who took the initiative to help those who traveled through books when they encountered difficulties.
"Come on, it's early." Wen Helin said, raising his right hand.
His palms were spread out upwards, as if inviting, or as if he just wanted to help the boy get off the examination bed.
