University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

"The one who’s truly having a rough time is Dr. Mu..."

"Not yet recovered from the last blow and now suffering a new injury. If I were Dr. Mu, I’d start wondering if I’m just not meant to be at Hai City University."

"Could be a feng shui issue."

"Dr. Chen: Anyone who brings up feng shui again, I’ll fight you!!!"

"Oh, I’m so scared! Hahaha!!!"

"..."

-

The onlookers’ gossip continued.

These two fragile university students were good friends when they arrived this morning.

The problem was, these two were too idle.

The cause of the matter.

It all started when they saw a couple up ahead being lovey-dovey.

One of them sighed that it would be great if his girlfriend were here too.

The other echoed the same sentiment.

After a brief sigh, both of them sensed something was off.

His good buddy actually has a girlfriend; having one is one thing, but never bringing her out or even treating his buddy to a meal?

Isn’t that a bit unfriendly?

Then these two started explaining to each other.

They were both in online relationships and had yet to meet in person, but once they did, they’d definitely introduce their brothers to their girlfriends.

Both had online girlfriends.

This meant they had more in common to talk about, and they started discussing how beautiful, how cute, and how sweet their girlfriends were...

But as they continued discussing,

they started comparing with each other.

For example, my girlfriend is cuter than yours.

My girlfriend is more considerate than yours.

The more comparisons they made, the more off it felt.

The reason being.

It seemed their online girlfriends had too many similarities, almost as if they were the same person.

Chen Mu: "..."

Wow.

Hai City University.

Another Wolong and Fengchu duo.

Spotting Chen Mu’s peculiar gaze at his roommates,

the bystander quickly stated, "I don’t have an online relationship!"

Chen Mu: "Hmm..."

-

"Hilarious, these two are now regarded by their friends as no different from a virus."

"To be fair, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. I’d subconsciously think their friends aren’t very smart either..."

"Yeah! That’s why they are trying hard to distance themselves from them."

"Don’t be in a rush to mock them, you might still lose to these e-romancers when you take your graduate exams."

"Exactly, they have online girlfriends but haven’t gotten lost in love; they’re still at the campus hospital fighting for study resources. Such focus and perseverance for exams is truly admirable!"

"Indeed, I had a roommate who was really good in our freshman year, but once he started an online relationship, he played games with his girlfriend every day, and eventually, he didn’t even sit for the exams; he took a break from school."

"Considering this, these two might look unreliable, but maybe they’re exam aces?"

"I can’t watch this stream anymore, I need to study hard myself. I’ll be embarrassed if I don’t beat these guys in the exams next year!"

"..."

-

Chen Mu: "No one cares if you have an online relationship right now. Continue with what you were saying."

While saying this,

Chen Mu took time to gauge the expressions of the two involved.

To Chen Mu’s surprise, however,

the two at the center of the discussion, even knowing they were being talked about, didn’t step forward to stop their friends from continuing.

They seemed willing to share their failed online relationships.

Su Bingbing, who had been listening to the gossip for a while, couldn’t resist and curiously chimed in: "But what’s worth fighting over?"

"If it’s really the same girl who simultaneously had an online relationship with both of you, then you were just scammed!"

"If scammed of money, report it immediately. If scammed of emotions, know when to cut losses."

On one side is a bizarre scammer,

and on the other, your good buddy.

Is it really necessary to fight so fiercely over a con artist?

Su Bingbing’s question had just been spoken aloud.

Then the two boys exclaimed in unison, "She didn’t scam me; she’s my girlfriend!"

Chen Mu: "..."

Su Bingbing: "..."

Chen Mu covered his face, unwilling to listen further.

Su Bingbing looked at Chen Mu beside her with an odd expression.

She tried to speak several times,

feeling inclined to say to Chen Mu,

Dr. Chen,

Your Hai City University has no shortage of talents, it seems!

Hearing the two boys speak in harmony,

the bystander who had witnessed everything continued sharing.

If,

everything followed normal logic,

these two should have banded together against a common enemy,

evaluating what losses they suffered while dating the same "online girlfriend,"

and learn to cut their losses.

But the problem is...

These aren’t normal people; their thinking is beyond ordinary.

Neither even considered how many people their online girlfriend might have deceived.

Instead, they just saw each other as rivals, making comparisons.

Each believed they loved their online girlfriend more than the other.

It started as just an argument.

Then,

the argument turned into a dispute.

Later on...

it was the scene encountered by Chen Mu and his group.

These two.

For an online girlfriend who might be a scam, they fought their fellow student fiercely.

Chen Mu: "..."

-

"Didn’t Hai City University promote the anti-fraud app?"

"I have to say, the school did promote the anti-fraud app and it’s actually counted as credits!"

"Even after promoting the anti-fraud app, you could still produce a Wolong and Fengchu duo like this. I’m curious what Hai City University would look like if they hadn’t promoted it."

"Fellow alumni, school life is getting tougher by the day."

"My high school friend asked today why they didn’t see me in the livestream, wondering where my Wolong and Fengchu partner is."

"Yes, yes! My high school friends messaged me too, saying they couldn’t believe they didn’t see me on the livestream. They were anticipating my appearance on TV! Hahaha!!!"

"They’re all watching the excitement without any fear, does the Hai City University hospital’s TV have some exclusive worth?"

"Yet another day of Hai City University students suffering in public perception, boohoo..."

"..."

-

Chen Mu’s investigative gaze swept over the two involved.

If it weren’t illegal,

he’d be so tempted to crack open these guys’ skulls and see what wondrous things lie inside their minds.

Chen Mu: "So this is the main reason behind your fight?"

One of the boys spoke up angrily, "If we’re really bros, since you know this is the girl I like, why can’t you step back and let me have her!"

The other boy, equally indignant, retorted, "Don’t talk bro-code at a time like this. If you really see me as a bro, why shouldn’t you be the one to step back, considering I’ve been in the online relationship with her longer; you came after!"

"What are you saying, we clearly met first, it’s just that declaring our relationship was delayed!"

"Dating should be based on the time the relationship was confirmed, and we confirmed ours earlier, so you’re the newcomer!"

Before long,

this Wolong and Fengchu pair started arguing again.

Su Bingbing watched the spectacle for a while, resting her chin in amusement.

Only then did she speak: "Perhaps I can interrupt?"

The two boys, unhappy with the interruption, were suddenly hushed,

but when they turned their heads,

and noticed Su Bingbing’s exquisite face, akin to a national goddess,

they couldn’t help but swallow hard.

They both nodded,

politely expressing,

"Please, go ahead!"

"Of course, interrupting us is our honor!"
