The old principal had just left when the dormitory door opened.
Edo Yuki poked her head out, asking worriedly, "The old principal didn't say anything, did he?"
"He did!"
Lin Fan chuckled, "He said he wants me to win you over sooner rather than later..."
*Swish!*
A small comb flew through the air.
Lin Fan reacted quickly, catching it with his hand.
Edo Yuki rolled her eyes, "You can't say anything good. Take your things and leave."
"I can't leave yet."
Lin Fan gave a wry smile and explained the matter of giving the entire school's teachers a physical examination.
Edo Yuki was taken aback, stammering, "Why would the old principal do this?"
"It's for the best, it's for the best."
After they chatted for a while, the old principal returned, accompanied by a bespectacled man.
The man was Hu Jian, who had previously looked down on Lin Fan.
"Principal, even if our school is short on funds, a physical examination at a large hospital wouldn't cost much. Why would we let someone of unknown origin examine us? What can he possibly find?"
Hu Jian, feigning concern for the school, rambled on, "I still suggest..."
"Are you finished?"
The old principal, annoyed by his incessant chatter, glared at him fiercely.
Hu Jian instantly felt choked, a flicker of fear in his eyes as he swallowed the rest of his words.
Lin Fan frowned, his sword-like brows furrowed.
He remembered this person, Hu Jian.
Back when Edo Yuki fainted at the school gate and he rushed to save her, it was this guy who stubbornly blocked him from helping.
"Heh!"
Thinking of this, Lin Fan felt a surge of anger.
He had almost forgotten about it, yet Hu Jian still held a grudge and was being so unreasonable.
Was this guy out of his mind?
Luofeng Village was so close to the school; it was impossible that he hadn't heard of the reputation of Xiaofan Medical Hall.
The only explanation was that he was doing this deliberately.
Edo Yuki's face showed displeasure. She thought, "Causing trouble for Xiaofan is causing trouble for me!"
"Director Hu, if you don't trust Lin Fan's medical skills, you can go back to class. The examination is free, it costs nothing, so what's wrong with letting him check everyone?"
"Teacher Edo..."
Hu Jian said indignantly, "How can you say that? The school is a collective. We need to get everyone's consent first."
When his gaze swept over Lin Fan, it was filled with deep hatred.
He was the first one to call for an ambulance. If Lin Fan hadn't shown up, he would have been the one to take Edo Yuki to the hospital and stay by her side.
With his meticulous care, perhaps Edo Yuki would have been moved.
But all of that had been turned into dust by the person in front of him.
Thinking this, Hu Jian's hatred intensified, making him grit his teeth.
A true man must avenge the taking of his beloved!
"You want to get everyone's consent? Fine, I'll ask them myself."
Edo Yuki's face turned frosty, and she strode away.
"You..."
Hu Jian was so rebuffed that he was speechless, his face turning incredibly ugly.
"Alright, alright, I've already arranged for everyone to gather in the grand hall."
The old principal beckoned, "Xiaofan, come with me."
"Mm."
Lin Fan responded and quickly ran into the dormitory, slung his medical kit over his shoulder, and followed him.
Hu Jian stared with wide eyes.
That was Edo Yuki's dormitory!
He had never been inside, yet Lin Fan entered so casually!
In an instant, he felt an overwhelming sense of being cuckolded, as if a boundless grassland had sprung up in his mind.
"You, you, you... How can you casually enter a female teacher's dormitory?"
Hu Jian said angrily.
"Nonsense, am I supposed to treat patients outside? If you can, you come in then."
Lin Fan retorted without looking back.
"Okay, okay, let's go."
The old principal urged them on.
After they left, Hu Jian stood alone, fuming to the point of explosion.
"This isn't over between us!"
...
Ten minutes later.
In the grand hall.
Lin Fan pulled a table in front of him and began to see patients.
"Those with morning classes, queue up at the front; those without, move to the back."
A queue of over a dozen people had already formed outside, with the old principal maintaining order.
Edo Yuki stood in the corridor, chatting animatedly with her colleagues.
Her reason for staying was to witness Lin Fan's brilliance.
The first patient stepped forward, a stout, middle-aged woman.
"Teacher Wang, it's you."
Lin Fan smiled slightly.
Teacher Wang had visited the medical hall once before, recommended by Edo Yuki.
"Doctor Lin, thank you so much for the medicine you prescribed last time. I never imagined traditional Chinese medicine was so miraculous. You cured my minor ailment without surgery."
Lin Fan pursed his lips into a smile, looking slightly embarrassed, as her ailment was none other than hemorrhoids.
"Please check if I still need to take medicine. I'm always worried about it recurring."
Teacher Wang said, placing her hand on the wrist rest.
Lin Fan quickly took her pulse.
As he wrote the prescription, he said, "I told you to watch your diet last time, but you didn't listen? Wind-heat drying the intestines, blood-heat and qi stagnation. If this continues, it will recur within half a year."
Teacher Wang lowered her head in shame, "I just love spicy food and can't control my mouth."
"Here's a prescription for clearing heat and cooling blood. I'll get the medicine for you at the clinic later. You really can't go on like this; you'll be the one suffering in the end."
Lin Fan earnestly cautioned her.
"Yes, I've noted it down. I'll change."
Teacher Wang, usually stern with her students, listened intently to Lin Fan's advice like a young student.
After taking the prescription and thanking him profusely, Teacher Wang turned and went to her class.
Next.
The long queue gradually shortened.
Edo Yuki's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.
This was her beloved!
Young, sunny, handsome, skilled, and a doctor with a benevolent heart.
She stood behind, listening to her colleagues praise Lin Fan incessantly, and beamed with joy, as if they were praising her herself.
"Teacher Edo."
A soft call from behind made her face change instantly.
At school, the only person she detested was Hu Jian, to the point of utter disgust.
"Director Hu, what are you doing here?"
She turned around with a cold expression.
"I... Teacher Edo, what are you doing here again?"
Hu Jian's face was full of displeasure.
"Watching Xiaofan diagnose patients. This is what a divine doctor looks like."
Edo Yuki's proud voice was filled with disdain for Hu Jian.
"Why are you watching him diagnose patients?"
Hu Jian's chest seethed with anger, wishing he could rush in and beat Lin Fan up.
"Because I like it. What else could it be?"
Edo Yuki had decided to make this narcissist give up completely today.
"You like him?"
Hu Jian trembled, as if hearing some terrible news.
"Yes, we are a perfect match. Is there a problem?"
Edo Yuki stated resolutely, her attitude leaving no room for doubt.
In an instant!
Hu Jian felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer in the chest, gasping for breath, almost spitting blood.
