Save the Family Doctor (Part 9)
"You still need to say thank you when it's due. This is basic social courtesy."
Jiang Yuanshi, who was still immersed in the fact that there was a slippery snake on his wrist, mechanically replied: "Okay, got it, thank you."
Z01: “…”
Maybe turning into a snake was also a mistake.
Z01 asked, "Host, do you want the system to change its appearance?"
Jiang Yuanshi slowed down, put a hand on the arm with the red bracelet, and groped there through the clothes to try to rub off his goose bumps. Facing the mosaic in front of him and the snake on his hand, he gradually felt relieved. He sighed inadvertently, "Forget it, this size can only be a snake, an insect or a mouse. So be it. I'm already dead, so I shouldn't be scared to death."
Z01 couldn't refute this, it made sense, but the host's obvious expression of relief, as if saying "luckily I'm dead", was really scary and frightening.
The black and red snake on the wrist opened its mouth and released the tail it was biting. Its slender body wrapped around Jiang Yuanshi's wrist. The snake's head poked out from the sleeve and looked up at its host. Although its sense of touch was blocked, Jiang Yuanshi still lowered his head and looked over.
In the sight, there is a small snake head with big eyes, half-drooped eyelids, and vertical pupils revealing coldness, weirdness and a familiar human-machine feeling.
Jiang Yuanshi: ...Sure enough, the system looks the same everywhere, what a powerful anti-counterfeiting mark.
Perhaps because he had seen so many humanoid robots, the fear of snakes on his body was diluted a little. The mosaic in front of him still maintained the same picture, but it was shaking slightly.
Jiang Yuanshi shrank his head and tilted his body slightly, looking very satisfied. He quietly tapped the snake's head with his finger. The little snake closed its eyes and unconsciously licked its tongue. Its forked tongue rubbed against Jiang Yuanshi's fingertips, but it felt nothing. Jiang Yuanshi retracted his hand and looked at the finger that was being licked. After thinking for a moment, he said to the system: "Z01, restore my sense of touch. Maybe I can accept it."
Z01 tilted his head: "Okay, but are you sure it's now?"
The farce in front of him was not over yet, Jiang Yuanshi curled his lips and said, "Forget it, let's do it later."
Jiang Yuanshi had been fixed in place for a long time, and his feet were numb but he couldn't move, so he had to find something to distract himself, "System, can I rub your head?"
?
Z01 didn't understand but accepted it.
Jiang Yuanshi, who had lost his sense of touch, rubbed the snake's head carefully with his fingertips. There was no sense of touch, but there was a sense of pressure. Moreover, when the little snake secretly leaned forward and circled his finger, the force of the circle was very obvious.
Z01 can accept having his head rubbed, but the friction generates heat, which he cannot stand for a long time, so he can only find another way to wrap around the host's fingers to avoid the fate of having his head rubbed on fire.
One man and one snake were looking at the mosaic while playing secretly. It felt like the excitement of skipping class in front of the teacher.
"By the way, how long are they going to keep kissing? Doesn't it hurt if their mouths are rubbing against each other for so long? It feels like they're on fire."
"Sorry, the system cannot answer this question because it is not within the scope of the original work. In addition, rubbing the lips of humans will cause pain, and in severe cases, it will cause skin breakage or even stomatitis. However, due to the presence of saliva, it will not catch fire. However, it is not recommended for the host to kiss for a long time."
Jiang Yuanshi was confused. What did this have to do with anything?
"So why did the topic finally fall on me?"
"It's just a friendly reminder that you as a human being need to know."
Jiang Yuanshi was helpless: "Thank you, but the premise of all this is that I have to have someone to kiss."
Z01: "Humans are social animals, so it is very likely that they have partners."
Jiang Yuanshi answered mercilessly: "The proportion of single people in society is even higher now."
Z01 replied: "Being single doesn't mean you can't kiss. It is understood that people kiss people including but not limited to partners, one-night stands, dare punishment, artificial respiration, etc."
"...You are quite flexible at this time." Jiang Yuanshi was speechless, but suddenly remembered something, "Wait, artificial respiration doesn't count as kissing, right?"
Z01: "Kissing is the touching of lips between humans, and artificial respiration is also the touching of lips between humans."
Jiang Yuanshi retorted: "Kissing and artificial respiration are two different things. If you say artificial respiration is kissing, then you have kissed me..."
…………
Jiang Yuanshi felt something was wrong after he finished speaking. The scene of falling into the lake before resurfaced in his mind. To be honest, he really didn't remember what he felt, except that his body was cold but his mouth was hot... Never mind, he really didn't remember it anyway.
At the same time, Z01 fell silent after hearing what the host said. At this moment, Jiang Yuanshi had no time to care whether the other party had any bugs, but the facts proved that while one side was quiet and peaceful, the other side would not be much better.
"When did Dr. Jiang get a pet?"
As Jiang Yuanshi looked straight ahead and thought, the mosaic in front of him disappeared at some point. The tall Fan Dian finally let go of the person in his arms to take a breath, revealing his true face. Li Pu's pale and cold face flushed, and his lips were swollen and unusually red.
Jiang Yuanshi, who was called out, came back to his senses and looked at him, with clear curiosity in his eyes. Jiang Yuanshi put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I have been keeping it at home. Today, the situation was urgent and I didn't have time to put it back."
Li Pu: "It turns out that Dr. Jiang likes snakes. I thought you would prefer furry things."
"I like furry animals, but it's hard to take care of the hair because it sheds." Doctor Jiang answered calmly. In his heart, he just hoped that the other party would stop asking questions. So why was he paying attention to him?
Dr. Jiang was afraid that the boss would go crazy and kill him, which would be the end of the story.
However, Li Pu was totally unaware of it. Although his face was cold and distant, his words were full of innocentness: "Yes, I have troubled you these days. I always call you in the middle of the night. It must be very tiring."
Jiang Yuanshi smiled and shook his head, it’s not hard, but life is miserable.
Even after death, you still have to work.
Strangely enough, facing Li Pu's concern for Dr. Jiang, Fan Dian did not show any anger at all. Instead, he asked very considerately, "I'm sorry, Dr. Jiang, by the way, have you eaten? Do you want to have something from me? We have a lot of dishes."
There are many dishes but he doesn't like to eat vegetarian food.
Moreover, if he eats the food prepared by the top protagonist for the bottom protagonist, he is afraid that he will not survive the day.
Doctor Jiang politely declined and changed the subject to Li Pu's health. When Li Pu was mentioned, Fan Dian immediately lost his politeness and became very energetic. He even took Doctor Jiang's pen and notebook to start taking notes. Doctor Jiang, with nothing in his hands, started the voice mode, "Eat small meals frequently, don't do strenuous exercise or get emotional..."
Fan Dian was like a poor student who worked hard in school because of his boyfriend who was a top student. He even wrote down how many seconds Dr. Jiang thought about it. When he glanced at Jiang Yuan's notes, he felt sorry for the other person's crookedness. He accidentally glanced at the expression of Li Pu in the other person's arms. Li Pu looked at the crooked, uneven handwriting and the coldness faded to reveal a gentle expression. It was a pity that Fan Dian was in a visual blind spot now.
You too, don't love too much.
As expected, he was part of the play. Jiang Yuanshi was too lazy to complain about this pair of intimidating people. He finished his words at a steady pace, picked up the medicine box and prepared to leave. As soon as he turned around, a card was stuffed into his coat pocket.
At some point Fan Dian stood up and came to him. Mr. Fan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Doctor Jiang, take this card and go to any restaurant you want. It won't charge you."
The strength of the double-door opener was extraordinary. Dr. Jiang not only felt that his shoulder was broken by the bear, but also felt a chill.
After a textbook refusal, Dr. Jiang accepted the anonymous card and said goodbye politely.
He walked in a high and low pattern.
The door behind him closed, and the kind smiles of the protagonists were blocked by the door. Jiang Yuanshi turned his head, with a smile on his lips, and left the empty villa.
If he saw it correctly, the moment Fan Dian patted his shoulder, Li Pu's eyes on the bed were cold, as if he was looking at an outsider.
Jiang Yuanshi sighed. It turned out that the world for novices was not stable either.
He went outside and waited for the gate to appear, but it never came. "System, where is the gate?"
Z01, who had been frozen for a long time, replied: "Host, the entrance is right in front of you."
Jiang Yuanshi looked left and right and then straight ahead, but nothing was around him.
"Where is it?"
"The host is right in front of you. You may have forgotten that the front door of your house was demolished when you were just following the plot. That door is the Anywhere Door. It has not been repaired since it was demolished, so it is blank. Just walk in."
"..." Jiang Yuanshi: "Are you so short of funds?"
"After all, this is a novice world, the missions are not difficult, so the willpower value is not high either."
"Haha, is that so." Jiang Yuanshi sneered mercilessly. Z01 did not understand the other party's sudden ridicule. "Excuse me, what's the problem?"
Jiang Yuanshi was reluctant to elaborate too much to the system, lest the other party report it again. You know, things that were corrected by the book patching department would be worse off not being fixed. At least he could still survive if he didn't fix them, but it would be fatal if he fixed them. People who didn't know would think it was directed at him.
Jiang Yuanshi shook his head and just asked, "Nothing, I'm tired, my feet are numb and I'm hungry. Do you know where there is a restaurant?" He remembered that there were many food streets and restaurants mentioned in the original book.
After searching, Z01 replied: "Please follow the navigation. We will guide you to the food court soon."
A golden route flashed before Jiang Yuanshi's eyes, and the task instructions appeared. He followed them. Originally, there was a model of a villa, but the further he went, the blanker it became.
He stepped into the void, heading towards the unknown.
"It's so white and creepy. No one has complained to you? This is not good for the host's physical and mental health." Jiang Yuanshi complained.
Z01: “Yes, but the superior approved the application based on the feedback. After the scene was built, we received another complaint. After more than a dozen revisions, we finally got a reply - the original white color was better. Since then, the department has never accepted any complaints about scene modeling again.”
…Why is there Party A everywhere?
The bookstore is still the sad party.
Jiang Yuanshi, who had suffered multiple attacks from Party A during his lifetime, felt the same and expressed his understanding.
At this moment, the terrifying white color in front of his eyes became pleasing to the eye, with a glow mixed with the blood and tears of cattle and horses.
As Jiang Yuanshi was walking, he remembered the card that the boss gave him. He had never seen what it looked like, and he didn't know whether it was a black card or some kind of membership.
He took it out of his pocket, and the cold, thin slice felt unpleasant.
What comes into view is a 24K pure gold card with three-dimensional art words laser engraved on it - Business card by Fan Dian, CEO of Paradigm Limited
Jiang Yuanshi: …………
You are sick.
