The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 326 - 325: Please Cooperate with the Patient’s Family

Chapter 326: Chapter 325: Please Cooperate with the Patient’s Family

Ding Cai clutched his chest, almost knocking his head against the lectern in shock. Lu Mian was fighting again… and this time, it was with Director Qimo!

Recalling Lu Mian’s words, “If you’re doing this for my own good,” he beat his chest and stomped his feet in frustration, grinding his teeth with anger, “Why didn’t you guys say so earlier!”

——

Xiao Qimo “carried” Lu Mian all the way to his office. Female teachers who passed by first froze at the sight, then their hearts fluttered with springtime emotions, blushing with envy.

Lu Mian’s cheeks were flushed with resistance, but she was bound even more tightly by him.

His strength was really overwhelming, and at that moment, she couldn’t resist at all, nor did she have the extra energy to struggle. She resigned herself to being forced into the office of the director of instruction.

...

Once freed, she rubbed her temples and sat dazedly on the sofa, but the wildness in her brows and eyes was not diminished the slightest bit.

Ye Jinwen looked away from his computer screen, amused, “Qimo, you’re like you’ve moved a potted plant.”

Xiao Qimo shot a dagger-like glance over, and the other party immediately shut his mouth. He then turned to look at the sofa, his eyes swiftly transitioning to gentleness and indulgence, staring at her crimson lips. The fire within him flared up once again.

He licked his lips, his expression cold, “Ye Jinwen, check her.”

Knowing that Ye Jinwen was there, there was no need to go to the medical office.

“What’s wrong?”

Ye Jinwen hurried over. As a doctor, he subconsciously extended his hand to check Lu Mian’s temperature, but Xiao Qimo coldly informed him, “She won’t let you touch her, just observe.”

However, Ye Jinwen’s reflexes weren’t that quick; his hand was already reaching out.

And then—

Lu Mian didn’t dodge.

Ye Jinwen wanted to show off, but he didn’t dare.

From the corner of his eye, he could only catch sight of Lord Xiao’s gaze turning dark and deep, brewing like a storm about to burst.

He suddenly exclaimed, “Ah!”

He withdrew his hand, and Ye Jinwen’s face became extremely serious. He took a thermometer from the medical box and checked, “41 degrees!”

This was life-threatening!

He thought Qimo was overreacting, that a casual check would suffice, because Lu Mian didn’t act like someone with a 41-degree fever!

But under the current circumstances, it was no time for jokes.

With the medical box at hand, Ye Jinwen put down the thermometer and pulled out the stethoscope, handing one end to Lu Mian. She took it, slowly stuffing it beneath her clothes.

As her clothes stirred, Xiao Qimo’s long fingers pushed his glasses up, struggling to look away.

“Damn…” Ye Jinwen couldn’t help exclaiming. He listened carefully for a moment, his eyes on Lu Mian held a touch of wonder, “Little Mianmian, are you even human?”

Lu Mian pressed her lips together, “If you’re going to give me a checkup, do it without the insults, okay?”

“…” Ye Jinwen spat at himself in disgust, “No, what I mean is, why is your heart rate so fast? It’s thumping away like a gatling gun!”

“Yeah.” She nodded silently. She had said before that she was sick…

No one believed her.

“We need to get your heart rate down first, you might go into shock at this rate,” said Ye Jinwen, becoming anxious.

What kind of resilience must she have to remain calm in this state? A normal body would have succumbed long ago and required emergency care.

Hearing Ye Jinwen’s diagnosis, Xiao Qimo only just realized the severity of Lu Mian’s condition.

He stepped forward, forcefully taking Lu Mian’s hand, “What on earth is going on with you?”

Lu Mian covered her heart, her nostrils and lips exhaling an extremely hot breath, shaking her head in struggle.

Xiao Qimo grew even more anxious, no trace of composure remained.

Then, Ye Jinwen, who had been watching with his stethoscope still on, noticed—

Lu Mian’s heart rate was getting even faster!

The thumping was so intense it seemed like it was going to burst her heart, verge of explosion!

He quickly pulled Xiao Qimo over, “Qimo, calm down!”

And then he noticed—

Lu Mian’s heart rate was falling.

Meow meow meow?

Ye Jinwen was mystified, glancing from Lu Mian to Xiao Qimo and back again, his gaze lingering between the two as if trying to uncover something. Facing their somewhat chilly stares, he suddenly mustered his courage, “Qimo, you go out first.”

Xiao Qimo curved his lips into a faint smile.

Ye Jinwen was extremely intimidated, yet his stance was firm, brooking no refusal, “Please cooperate with the patient’s family.”

“Ah, alright then.”

Xiao Qimo left the room.

“…”

Ye Jinwen watched him leave, eyeing the door as it slowly closed, then listening to the heartbeat coming through the stethoscope.

Damn, he actually found the cause of the illness!

Every time Qimo got close to Lu Mian, her heart rate sped up. A rapid heart rate naturally led to a high fever.

This… this… what the hell should he do about this!

What puzzled him was: Lu Mian was not like this before, right? Did something happen between them last night?

——

Ding Cai couldn’t even focus on teaching and had the class work on their papers instead, rushing off to the principal’s office. This matter was beyond what he, a mere homeroom teacher, could handle; Lu Mian was having a fever again, and only the principal could speak a few words in front of that dean of students.

Principal Zhang, upon hearing Ding Cai’s grievances and that Lu Mian hit Xiao Qimo, was scared enough to leap from his sofa.

“She hit that person?”

Others might not know, but Principal Zhang was somewhat aware that this was Mr. Xiao from Jinjing, a member of the Xiao Family!

Lu Mian, this little ancestor, was essentially a tractor in human form!

He just felt that this time Lu Mian might… go out with a bang.

“I can’t solve this issue either, Teacher Ding, you go back first. I will contact someone else.”

“…”

——

The situation with Lu Mian was not looking good; Ye Jinwen took her straight to the hospital. He first got her a hospital room, arranged for IV fluids, and had the nurse help with physical cooling.

In the corridor, he engaged in a serious and complicated conversation with Xiao Qimo.

“Qimo, you need to be prepared.”

A dangerous look came from the man opposite him, clearly indicating that Ye Jinwen should think carefully before speaking.

Ye Jinwen trembled. How could this be his fault? He was a doctor trying to cure people; did he really want to break up this couple? And he had no idea what Qimo had done last night to make Lu Mian end up like this.

If not for Lu Mian’s strong willpower, she would have passed out long ago!

“Qimo, you shouldn’t visit Little Mianmian for now,” he said emphatically.

“?”

“She might be… allergic to you.”

“…”

Ye Jinwen explained the rationale to him, and with each additional word, Xiao Qimo’s expression grew darker until his entire face was shrouded in ominous dark clouds.

“Qimo, you need to be strong.”

Xiao Qimo let out a light snort, indifferently brushing off the hand on his shoulder. He arranged for a room next to hers, insisting on staying in the hospital as Lu Mian’s neighbor even when hospitalized.

“Qimo, what are you opening a hospital room for?”

“I’m depressed.”

“…”

——

In the hospital room, the nurse was using alcohol to cool Lu Mian down while showing concern, “Classmate, why is your fever so severe? Did you wear too little?”

Lu Mian lay quietly on the bed, not really accustomed to others touching her like this. But feeling completely drained, she gave up on resisting.

She shook her head, a clear light in her eyes, “No.”

“Then what happened?”
