Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: The Stubborn Mule of Our Times—Smashes Into a Wall Without Looking Back

The camera zooms in indoors.

Only a tall and sturdy male student is seen sitting on the examination bed in the school infirmary with a grim face.

There's a bright red mark on his temple, and his lips are pale.

The male student accompanying him at the back occasionally shows some concern in his eyes, but the smile on his lips is harder to suppress than breaking a rock.

Probably...

Were it not for considering the other guy's already got a head injury, he'd probably burst out laughing right now.

"Seriously, Dr. Chen really knows his stuff. He said there might be patients in the infirmary, and there really were patients there?"

"That guy with the head wound looks really fierce. Did he get hurt in a fight?"

"That scrawny guy next to him, if he doesn't laugh out loud soon, he might just suffocate..."

"..."

Chen Mu looked at the person sitting on the hospital bed.

Without even checking the wound, he went to get the sanitizing tools.

"So, tell me, what happened this time?"

Su Bingbing glanced at the fierce-looking guy, then at Chen Mu, her gaze hovering between the two.

So this guy's a frequent visitor to the infirmary!

The fierce-looking guy's expression changed, his tone gruff: "Dr. Chen, why ask so much? Hurry up and disinfect me, stop the nonsense!"

Chen Mu wasn't bothered by the gruff response.

He slowly carried the tool tray over to the guy and began examining his wound.

"If I don't ask a bit, how would I know what joke you've made this time?"

"After all, this infirmary is very boring on usual days, I rely on the jokes from you students to pass time."

"Speaking of which, your stories are quite renowned in this infirmary. So far, there are few students at school who are as stubborn as you. If you keep it up until graduation, you might set a record as the most stubborn mule."

Chen Mu started wiping the blood off the guy's face with a cotton ball, disinfecting his wound.

The skinny guy standing by, resembling a skeleton, couldn't suppress his smile any longer and burst out laughing, "Hahaha! Stubborn mule! Hahaha!"

"Dr. Chen, your description is spot on, Guo Dayuan is definitely one of the top stubborn mules at Hai City University!!"

The guy completely ignored Guo Dayuan's darkened face that seemed about to drip water.

Laughing, he patted Guo Dayuan's shoulder, "Dr. Chen, you wouldn't believe what happened to Guo Dayuan this time, he twisted a bottle cap, hahahaha!!"

"Hahahaha!!!"

The joyful laughter of the student resounded arrogantly throughout the entire infirmary.

Behind Chen Mu, Su Bingbing widened her eyes in disbelief.

She...

Didn't hear it wrong, right?!

"???"

"Dudes, why do I feel like there's something wrong with my ears?"

"Twisting a bottle cap can result in a head injury? Even if you tried to fool my three-year-old nephew with this, he wouldn't buy it."

"But... seeing Dr. Chen's attitude, Dr. Chen seems to believe it???"

"..."

Chen Mu finished cleaning the blood from the guy's wound.

Only then did he take out a piece of gauze and fresh cotton, preparing to apply medication.

Still gossiping, he asked, "Come on, Guo Dayuan, share with me, what happened after you twisted the bottle cap?"

"Heh..."

Guo Dayuan snorted coldly, trying hard to ignore Chen Mu's existence.

But the skinny guy next to him didn't let it go, happily sharing with Chen Mu, "The bottle of water belonged to his goddess. He wanted to show off his strength to her!"

"He was so focused on showing off his strength that he didn't see the steps in front, and down he went, hahahaha!!!"

"Dr. Chen, hahaha!"

"You wouldn't know how hilarious it was to take a nosedive in front of his goddess, hahahaha!!!"

"..."

As Chen Mu turned to get the medication, he saw Su Bingbing looking curiously at the three of them.

Clearly, she had a bunch of questions, but out of concern for not disturbing his treatment, she held back.

While getting the medication, Chen Mu pointed at Guo Dayuan, who sat on the examination bed looking utterly resigned, "This guy is significantly nearsighted, around six to seven hundred degrees."

Su Bingbing was shocked, "Isn't that practically blind with eyes open?"

The "blind with eyes open" Guo Dayuan, using his excellent hearing and positioning skills, accurately pinpointed Su Bingbing's location and fiercely glared at her.

"Hey, the one calling you blind with eyes open is a pretty girl."

The skinny guy whispered something in Guo Dayuan's ear, and he immediately withdrew his fierce glare, pretending as if nothing happened.

Su Bingbing, having been glared at, didn't mind too much.

She looked at Chen Mu with eager curiosity in her eyes, "But... with such a degree of nearsightedness, why doesn't he wear glasses, or does he wear contact lenses?"

Chen Mu returned with the medicine, shaking his head while applying it to Guo Dayuan.

"He doesn't wear contact lenses."

"He believes some rumor he heard somewhere about contacts pulling the retina off, so he resolutely refuses to wear them."

"Furthermore, he doesn't wear glasses either."

"He says he's such a tall, mighty man, if he wore glasses he wouldn't be cool, and his goddess would like him even less."

"So up until now, every so often, this 'blind with eyes open' ends up at the infirmary because he couldn't clearly see the road..."

Su Bingbing was dumbfounded.

The students at Hai City University really have some creative ways to get injured...

"Yuan's move, skillful to the point it gives you goosebumps!"

"Is this what they mean by a contemporary stubborn mule, charging ahead even after hitting a brick wall!"

"Honestly, not wearing glasses with that degree of nearsightedness, it's a miracle this guy's still alive."

"Thought he was a tough guy, turns out he's a clown..."

"..."

Chen Mu wrapped the gauze around Guo Dayuan's wound.

Then started shooing them away, "Hurry up and go, I still need my lunch break!"

Guo Dayuan snorted coldly, got up, but showed no intention of leaving.

Su Bingbing was still curious about what else Guo Dayuan planned to do when she saw the skinny guy sigh, then familiarly walked to the front.

Afterward.

Guo Dayuan placed his hand on the skinny guy's shoulder, and the two walked out of the infirmary together.

Chen Mu: "It's best to go to the hospital for an X-ray, considering how often you fall, there's a chance of a concussion!"

Behind them, Su Bingbing's eyes were nearly glued to the scene.

Su Bingbing raised a hand, pointing in the direction where the two disappeared, looking at Chen Mu incredulously, "Wait, is Guo Dayuan using his classmate as a crutch?"

Chen Mu packed up the tool tray, "In a vast world, anything's possible."

Su Bingbing patted her rumbling stomach, looked down at her phone, getting ready to order takeout for herself and her cameraman assistant.

Suddenly.

There was a commotion at the door.

A bad premonition welled up in Su Bingbing's heart.

Stiffly, she turned her head.

And saw five or six university students, male and female, supporting each other, unsteadily entering the infirmary…
