Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Skipping Class for Buffet, Immediate Food Poisoning?

"What's going on?"

The group of people who came in would have struggled to stand if they weren't holding each other up.

Chen Mu turned around and first got chairs for these students.

Once they were all seated, Chen Mu sat in front of the girl whose face looked the worst, lightly placing his hand on her wrist.

Taking her pulse.

"Goodness! It never ends! Does your school have this many sick students?"

"I've come to see that not many are genuinely sick; most of the reasons are quite bizarre..."

"What's up with this group, getting sick together? They probably ate something bad?"

"Food safety issues? Tsk, Hai City University is in big trouble this time!"

"..."

"Aren't there any curious minds wondering if Chen Mu is taking a pulse? Is this guy both a traditional and western medicine practitioner?"

"What's so strange about it? It's not unusual for someone who knows bone-setting to know a little traditional Chinese medicine?"

"But aren't they saying that the experts in traditional Chinese medicine are usually older? How old is he anyway?"

"Stereotypes! Some young people from families of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are also impressive!"

"..."

After Chen Mu finished taking the pulse of the first girl, he silently began to take the pulse of the second person.

"Your pulse suggests that you've eaten some conflicting foods. What did you all eat?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The students started looking at each other.

Chen Mu looked up and said, "If you won't tell me, I'll have to ask your counselor to come over."

The college students continued exchanging looks, feeling shy and bashful.

It was the girl with the palest face who finally spoke up, "We heard about the buffet near the school, where the morning session costs only thirty yuan per person, so we went for seafood buffet..."

Chen Mu frowned, "I think I know that place. The seafood in the morning is all from the previous day."

"However..."

Chen Mu shifted his chair to take the pulse of the third student, "To save some money, many students also go in the morning, but..."

He swept his sharp gaze over the students.

"If that store really had food safety issues, considering their customer flow, not to mention my little school clinic, even the principal's office would be packed with parents demanding answers."

"So, what else did you eat besides the leftover seafood from that place?"

"School Doctor Chen's logic is unbeatable. When those kids spoke, I really thought they ate expired seafood."

"No kidding! I almost started typing to confront the unscrupulous business!"

"Based on this, these students are quite naughty, aren't they causing trouble for the store?"

"It's not fair to take it that far. When these students came in, they couldn't even lift their heads; they probably don't even know there's a live camera in this room now..."

"..."

What else did you eat?

Chen Mu's words had just left his mouth.

And all the students' eyes fixated on a skinny boy.

The boy turned his face away silently, trying to avoid the gaze of Chen Mu and the other students.

However, Chen Mu raised his phone and snapped a picture of his face, "If you don't come clean, I'll have to tell the other students' parents that it was because of you they got sick."

"When the parents come after you, it won't just be about hiding the cause of illness; they might even ask you for some compensation."

"I've said this much, weigh the pros and cons yourself."

The boy's face changed dramatically, "School Doctor Chen, I'll tell you!"

"I bought some discounted yogurt at the school supermarket this morning, originally just intending to keep it for myself."

"But the spicy crayfish at that place was too hot, so we drank a bit to relieve the spiciness..."

Chen Mu was speechless, "How much is a bit?"

The boy silently gestured with two fingers, "Two liters... I bought two liters of yogurt, one liter per bottle... We drank it all..."

Chen Mu, "Well, that's quite a 'bit!'"

"I can use acupuncture here to quickly relieve your stomach pain. Raise your hand if you accept acupuncture; otherwise, I'll prescribe medication later."

The girl with the palest face anxiously asked, "Doctor, you said quick relief from stomach pain, how quick is that?"

Chen Mu, "At the fastest, the effects are immediate upon needling. However, it also depends on the patient's constitution. What I can assure you is that within three to five minutes after acupuncture, your stomach pain should be alleviated."

Just as he finished saying this.

All the students in front of him raised their hands in unison.

Seeing their choice, Chen Mu was unsurprised.

He stood up and walked toward a small adjacent room, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go get the acupuncture kit."

Su Bingbing, who stayed behind, looked at these food-poisoned students.

She held back for a few seconds, but ultimately couldn't hold it in.

With eager eyes...

She asked the question that had been suppressed inside her for so long, "When you were eating, didn't you know that eating yogurt and seafood together easily leads to food poisoning?"

To most people, this should be common knowledge.

University students making such a basic mistake, it's hard to believe.

The students exchanged glances, all with expressions of undeniable embarrassment.

And the boy who provided the yogurt glanced up, just in time to meet the gaze of the camera-toting man behind Su Bingbing.

The boy instantly tensed up, pointing at the camera-toting man behind Su Bingbing, "Are you filming a video, or... or..."

The university students around him, still bowing their heads to avoid the embarrassing reality.

Upon hearing the boy's voice, they all looked up in shock at the camera-toting man behind Su Bingbing.

"Snap! The masterpiece collection is complete!"

"I originally thought it was just an embarrassment in the school clinic, but I didn't expect it to go nationwide!"

"Hahaha!!! Seeing their panic makes me so happy!"

"Come on, tell us why you didn't know it's common sense that yogurt shouldn't be eaten with seafood!"

"University students! Quickly share your tragic stories, let us have a laugh!"

"Hahaha!!! The folks in this live stream are so bad! I love it!"

"..."

"We are a highly popular live reality show."

"Each Month Takes You into a Profession, perhaps you've heard of our show." Su Bingbing wore a camera-ready smile, looking happily at the college students.

"Ah..."

The college students exchanged glances.

Finally, silently, they uniformly covered their faces.

Damn it!

Others might not know how famous this show is, but as part of the university student demographic, many of them surely watched it before applying to colleges.

How could they not know how popular this show is?!

They're doomed!

Given the popularity of this show, they might really end up making fools of themselves nationwide.

Seeing several kids silently covering their faces.

Su Bingbing cheerfully asked, "You can't seriously not know that eating seafood and yogurt together causes food poisoning, right?"

"No way?"

At that moment.

The once-adored and beautiful TV host seemed like a terrifying demon...
