Six o'clock in the morning.
Lin Fan finished washing up and went out with his medicine chest.
The morning sun rose, casting its warm glow, bringing vitality to the earth.
However, Lin Fan's mood was not so pleasant.
It was because Song Yue wouldn't be able to come to work at the clinic for a long time.
"Alas, my sister-in-law..."
Lin Fan sighed.
He had been wondering why Song Yue rarely came to the clinic before.
At first, he had blamed Song Yue for becoming lazy, wanting to get paid without working.
He only found out last night that it was his sister-in-law who asked her to help with the vegetable garden.
Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the time.
With his income, let alone eating vegetables, how much would it cost to eat meat every day?
It was clear that his sister-in-law had ulterior motives, wanting to separate them.
"I wonder if my sister-in-law is just suspicious, or if she knows everything."
Lin Fan's heart pounded, regretting that he had been so reckless on New Year's Day.
Now, his sister-in-law simply wouldn't let Song Yue come to the clinic.
"Buying groceries costs money, but does buying milk not cost money? What's more cost-effective? Why can't my sister-in-law figure out the account?"
...
Hope Primary School.
Several teachers got up early to wash up.
Jiang Hu Xue, with dark circles under her eyes, shuffled in slippers, listlessly tidying herself.
The pain in her back constantly reminded her how Lin Fan had bullied her.
However, the reason for her insomnia was not this.
Lin Fan was the last disciple of the President of the Northern Feng Shui Association!
He had fought to a draw with Li Yusheng, the renowned and arrogant practitioner from the Li Qi Sect, in a time of crisis!
Doesn't that mean that when the old president passes away, he is highly likely to succeed him as president?
Thinking of this, Jiang Hu Xue felt a sense of peculiar happiness.
As a girl who grew up in a big city, she knew very well how lucrative it was for famous feng shui masters to earn money, and they associated with dignitaries, holding an extraordinary status.
Earlier, she had worried that her parents wouldn't approve of Lin Fan's background, but now, it seemed he was more than good enough for her!
Feng Shui divination was a national discipline!
Her family was a scholarly household, so wasn't this a perfect match!
Knock, knock, knock!
The dormitory door was knocked.
"Ahem, is Teacher Jiang Hu there? I've come to treat you."
Lin Fan called out.
"Oh dear!"
A shriek came from the dormitory.
Jiang Hu Xue gulped, swallowing half the toothpaste in her mouth.
"Teacher Jiang Hu, what's wrong?"
Lin Fan asked caringly from outside the door.
"Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, just wait a moment."
Jiang Hu Xue replied vaguely, quickly rinsed her mouth, and tidied herself up as fast as she could.
Ten minutes later.
The dormitory door opened.
Jiang Hu Xue, gentle, elegant, and as pure as a white lily, smiled shyly at Lin Fan.
"Why did it take so long to open the door? The students will be starting class soon."
Lin Fan had rushed over early in the morning, just to have some intimacy with her.
He hadn't expected her to take this long to get ready, and he was slightly displeased.
"Don't girls need to wash and dress up?"
Jiang Hu Xue shot him a glance: "Unlike you, not even shaving, you really are lazy!"
Lin Fan shrugged, speechless.
After they entered the room, Jiang Hu Xue, aware of the time constraint, quickly climbed onto the bed and lay down.
"Let's begin the treatment."
Jiang Hu Xue urged.
Lin Fan saw her awkward movements and guessed what had happened, couldn't help but chuckle.
"You dare to laugh?"
Jiang Hu Xue immediately became angry.
"I haven't settled accounts with you for what happened last night!"
"Ahem."
Lin Fan pointed to the next room, which made her calm down.
Seeing that she didn't dare to act out, Lin Fan couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Xue'er, think about it."
Lin Fan sat by the bed: "Usually, when you are a teacher at school, you definitely scold and punish disobedient children, right?"
"I primarily educate through conversation, and the children have a very good relationship with me. They all call me Sister Xue'er."
Jiang Hu Xue said this with a touch of pride.
"But there are still punishments, right?"
Lin Fan pressed.
"Yes."
Jiang Hu Xue nodded gently: "Sometimes I really can't control my temper. You're not a teacher, you don't know the difficulties involved."
"Then that's right."
Lin Fan's lips curled into a teasing smile: "You punish the children, and I, as their Brother Lin, naturally can't stand by and do nothing! So, I'll consider it as avenging the children, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Jiang Hu Xue immediately became agitated: "I'll show you if it's right!"
The moment she lunged, Lin Fan embraced her, his eyes greedily fixed on her cherry-like lips.
A moment later.
Rapid breaths echoed in the dormitory.
Lin Fan mumbled as if something was in his mouth: "I'll help you dispel the cold."
"No... don't do this."
Jiang Hu Xue was a little flustered.
But how could her frail body contend with Lin Fan's strong physique?
After a long while.
Jiang Hu Xue half-closed her beautiful eyes, her intellectual and charming face flushed, and she grumbled, "Indecent!"
"I've avenged the children, and just now, I was thanking you on their behalf."
"Indecent."
Jiang Hu Xue weakly hit him: "You go out for a bit first."
"Smooch."
Lin Fan kissed her on the cheek and then turned to leave.
"Ahem."
A light cough sounded behind him.
Lin Fan was startled, his hair standing on end.
He turned his head, a stiff smile plastered on his face: "Old Principal."
"Xiao Fan, you've come to treat Teacher Jiang Hu?"
The old principal stood with his hands behind his back, his expression serious, making Lin Fan dare not meet his gaze.
"Yes."
Lin Fan nodded obediently.
He wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the old principal.
"Is Teacher Jiang Hu alright?"
The old principal glanced at the dormitory door.
He had clearly heard Jiang Hu Xue scold, "Get lost, you annoying brat."
This didn't seem like a casual relationship!
"She's quite well, but her illness is a complex one, and it's not easy to completely cure it."
Lin Fan replied truthfully.
"Xiao Fan, do you have time?"
The old principal smiled kindly and gave a thumbs-up: "Your reputation is now well-known among the villagers! If you have time, would you be willing to give all the teachers a physical examination?"
"???"
Lin Fan's mind was full of question marks.
What was the old principal up to?
Why were they suddenly doing a physical examination for all the teachers?
"Alright, I'm not very busy anyway."
As the only doctor in the ten-mile radius, Lin Fan couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Moreover, the school's conditions were poor, the teachers' salaries were low, and they were great contributors, so Lin Fan felt it would be impolite to refuse.
"You've brought your medicine chest, which is just right."
The old principal patted Lin Fan's shoulder: "There's no better time than now. I'll go notify them, and you can get ready. It shouldn't take too long."
"Oh? Okay, okay, okay."
Lin Fan was resigned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.
So urgent?
Why did something feel off?
