The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 442: A Couple of Incidents with the Female Doctor_1
Li Qing pulled up a faint smile with a bit of a guilty conscience and explained to Han Mei, "It’s that school incident I mentioned to you before; I accidentally got a little bit disadvantaged, but it’s nothing serious. Oh right, sister-in-law, this is my master, Xuan Chen Zhenren."
As he said this, Li Qing pointed to Xuan Chen Zhenren, who was seated on the next hospital bed.
Xuan Chen Zhenren, utterly devoid of any semblance of dignity, was sitting cross-legged on the bed eating a banana. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "You two keep chatting; don’t mind this old Daoist."
"Nice to meet you, Daoist Master."
Han Mei greeted him somewhat restrained and, seeing that Xuan Chen Zhenren seemed to pay her no attention, turned back to Li Qing and asked, "Qingzi, is the school matter resolved now?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"It should be resolved as of now," Li Qing said.
He wasn’t too certain about it, though.
There might still be other things lurking inside that had become cunning.
But the two truly terrifying ghosts had already died.
"That’s good to hear. Such a place indeed gives one the creeps," Han Mei said with lingering fear.
Even though she hadn’t experienced it herself, just hearing Li Qing’s account had been enough to terrify her.
"Don’t take such risks anymore. Xingxing was scared to tears when Principal Qi called. On our way here, we were worried sick; I almost scared myself to death," Han Mei chided him with some annoyance.
Li Qing looked at Wu Xingxing and promised in a soft voice, "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful from now on and not cause you to worry."
But this promise was likely just lip service.
Given his recent experiences, the chances of him not getting injured in the future were really slim.
In the evening, both Han Mei and Wu Xingxing wanted to stay and take care of him, but Li Qing persuaded them to leave.
He was able to move around unhindered, and it would be inconvenient for the two girls to stay there; there was no need for them to keep him company overnight.
Qi Mengru also left after sitting for a while.
With the students returning to school the next day, she had a lot to attend to and couldn’t afford to stay at the hospital.
The hospital room quieted down, and Xuan Chen Zhenren had fallen asleep.
Li Qing lay on the bed for a while, unable to sleep or sit still, so he decided to wander around downstairs.
He also sent a message to check on Xu Keqing and see what the flamboyant and unrestrained female doctor was busy with.
"Working overtime, dealing with medical records. Miss me?"
"I miss your body," Li Qing texted back as he sat on the edge of a flowerbed with a big grin.
"Are we being this direct now? You could have at least tried to play it cool. Coax me a little, and I’d be happy to end up under you. When you’re so blunt, it’s annoying!" Xu Keqing replied quickly.
"Someone said that lusting after a woman’s body is the greatest form of love," Li Qing copied and pasted a handy quote from the internet directly into the conversation.
"Wow, that’s something else, I’m getting a toothache from sweetness. But it does sound quite reasonable," Xu Keqing replied.
"Don’t just think about it; come on, take action. It’s really quiet here right now."
Li Qing was actually quite tempted.
But having injured his back, he could only lie on his side, which made things a bit awkward.
He couldn’t think of a position that would work with his current condition.
Even though he couldn’t do much, he could still go up and chat with Xu Keqing.
"I’m just downstairs."
Li Qing sent a message back to Xu Keqing and got up to walk toward the outpatient building.
The off-duty hospital was peaceful and quiet, with not a soul in sight.
Li Qing climbed the stairs and knocked on the door of Xu Keqing’s office.
"You really are fast," said Xu Keqing, who was wearing a green tank top and short skirt, opening the door with a smile.
Her fiery outfit made Li Qing’s eyes sparkle, his gaze almost trapped in the creamy cleavage.
"Do female doctors always dress so seductively after work?" Li Qing teased with a smile.
"I had a shawl on over this, but I just took it off, do I look good?" Xu Keqing twirled in front of Li Qing, her eyes full of eager expectation.
"It’s more than just good-looking, it’s downright tempting," Li Qing nodded emphatically.
The combination of a green tank top and white skirt was very refreshing, like the colors of summer.
Coupled with Xu Keqing’s demure yet flexible demeanor, it was absolute heart-racing temptation.
"This outfit cost me a full twelve hundred yesterday, if you dared to say it doesn’t look good, you’d be in trouble today," Xu Keqing said with great satisfaction.
"Twelve hundred for just these two pieces of cloth?" Li Qing was almost taken aback.
"Yes!" Xu Keqing said with a look of exasperation, "I was shopping with Mrs. Lu yesterday; she helped me out, so I thought about giving her a couple of high-end clothes, but she said these two matched my skin tone and suggested I try them on."
"I couldn’t refuse, so I bought them. I wouldn’t mind spending two or three thousand on her, but twelve hundred just for these two things for myself, it really hurts!"
Li Qing silently chuckled and took out his phone to transfer two thousand to Xu Keqing, "I’ll pay for it, consider it a gift from me."
"What’s this? What are you buying for me? There’s no need," Xu Keqing said as she checked her phone, "Why are you transferring money to me?"
"I’m buying it for you; the clothes do indeed match your skin tone," Li Qing said with a smile.
Xu Keqing looked conflicted and said, "This... what if I really want to accept this red envelope? But I don’t think it feels right."
"What’s not right about it? I’ve never given you a gift before; just accept it," Li Qing said, smiling as he sat down with some difficulty, leaning on the chair for support.
Although the wound on his back didn’t affect his movements much, any vigorous action would still cause bone-aching pain.
With eyes full of affection, Xu Keqing gazed at Li Qing and said, "Then I’m really going to accept it."
Her slender fingers rapidly tapped the phone’s screen, then she tossed the phone aside, her pert rear twisting as she settled into Li Qing’s lap, "Today, you’re going to be the death of me."
"I haven’t received any gifts for two or three years. Your sudden generosity, I can hardly stand it."
"Hiss..." Li Qing winced, gritting his teeth in pain, "That... you might just kill me first."
Lost in her emotions, Xu Keqing suddenly looked up and saw Li Qing’s face contorted with pain and quickly asked, "What’s wrong with you?"
"You’re pressing on my wound," Li Qing cried out in pain.
Xu Keqing hastily stood up, "How did you get injured again? Where did you get hurt this time?"
Li Qing leaned slightly forward, "My back, I broke two ribs."
Xu Keqing had sat down so suddenly that his back pressed tightly against the back of the chair.
The instant pain was so intense that Li Qing’s toes curled.
"Let me have a look."
After lifting Li Qing’s shirt and seeing there was no major issue, Xu Keqing asked irritably, "Why do you keep getting hurt? Just the ones I know about, seems like it’s been several times, right?"
"Nothing I can do about it, just bad luck," Li Qing said with a bitter smile.
