Pei Zi gave Zhang Ye a deep look, her face flushed slightly, feeling ashamed and resentful inside.
She truly felt as though she was being controlled.
"Huh? I really can walk normally!"
Just then, Li Wei's pleasantly surprised voice rang out.
Not only did she feel no pain at all, but a soothing warmth also spread through her foot.
"I can play in the tournament for the school again?" Li Wei exclaimed with joy.
Once she stood up, everyone noticed just how tall she was.
When Pei Zi beside her snapped back to reality, she was completely dumbfounded as well.
She looked at Li Wei, then looked back at Zhang Ye.
Could a simple touch really make someone lively as a Dragon and full of vigor?
And it was actually fucking true?
This...
Zhang Ye's words didn't seem to be an exaggeration after all.
Lu Chunsheng looked at Zhang Ye, at a loss for words, his mind racing as his brows furrowed tightly.
What kind of technique was this?!
Zhang Ye turned to Lu Chunsheng, who was nearly fifty years old, and said, "Apologize."
Lu Chunsheng stood awkwardly in place without speaking, his eyes still filled with bewilderment and shock.
But apologize to Zhang Ye?
He was a dignified veteran physician, and fifty years old at that.
Was he supposed to apologize and admit fault to a layman right in his own department?
Wouldn't that mean losing all face?
How could he ever hold his head high in this field again?
Torn between conflicting desires, Lu Chunsheng's expression turned complicated, and he instinctively wanted to leave the room.
Zhang Ye sensed the bald man's embarrassment.
Chuckling softly, he didn't press the matter.
Instead, he looked at Pei Zi, who had been staring at him the entire time.
In Pei Zi's deep, beautiful eyes, alongside shock and doubt, was an intense curiosity.
Before Zhang Ye could say anything, he heard Pei Zi ask astoundingly, "If I work like an ox and a horse for you, will you teach me your medical skills?"
Zhang Ye replied calmly, "I don't know any medical skills. I'm just an ordinary technician."
As he spoke, Zhang Ye looked at Pei Zi's voluptuous figure.
He said seriously, "I can teach you, but..."
Zhang Ye didn't finish his sentence, instead casting a glance at Lu Chunsheng nearby.
The meaning was self-evident: he didn't want the bald guy eavesdropping.
"Uh... Lu—" Pei Zi caught on immediately and looked toward Bald Lu.
Bald Lu had already lost enough face; as for whatever was going on between Zhang Ye and Pei Zi, he had no idea and couldn't get involved anyway.
He could only keep a straight face and say, "Dr. Pei, I'll clock out first then."
After Lu Chunsheng left,
Pei Zi took a deep breath. "Dr. Zhang, I also take back what I said earlier. I'm sorry."
As she spoke, Pei Zi even bowed to Zhang Ye.
This caught him a bit by surprise.
This woman was actually quite interesting.
Pei Zi had never expected that an online scammer could actually turn out to be the real deal.
Hadn't Zhang Ye rushed over just to make her apologize?
As long as she could stay in contact with Zhang Ye, apologizing was nothing to her.
Beneath her white lab coat, as she bent down, her curves rose and fell subtly.
When she straightened up, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ye's trouser pocket.
Right now, she both wanted to learn more about Zhang Ye's massage therapy techniques and wanted her car keys back, but didn't know how to bring it up. Find the original chapter at g.com.
Having Zhang Ye hold leverage over her like this made her feel uneasy all over.
Her body was instinctively on guard, dreading that Zhang Ye might mess with her keys.
She was truly terrified that Zhang Ye would suddenly pull another prank on her.
If she asked for them now, Pei Zi wasn't even sure if Zhang Ye would return them.
What's more, the moment she spoke up, Li Wei nearby would definitely find out.
She wished this kind of thing would stay hidden forever.
Her secret had been discovered and seized by Zhang Ye.
She couldn't let a third person find out... otherwise, her reputation would be utterly ruined.
For now, she had to find a way to send Zhang Ye away first!
Pei Zi said, "Then, after I get off work, how about I find you to discuss medical techniques?
We can have a proper chat about everything then?"
The corners of Zhang Ye's mouth curved upward. "Alright."
With that, he turned and walked away cleanly.
Beside him, Li Wei hurriedly kept pace with Zhang Ye.
Only when Pei Zi saw Zhang Ye leave did she let out a huge sigh of relief.
She took a step, preparing to head to the restroom.
"Dr. Pei, the patient in Ward 4 has an emergency! Please come quickly!"
Right at that moment, a nurse suddenly appeared at the doorway and called out to her.
Pei Zi gritted her teeth and nodded. "Alright."
Meanwhile, in the hallway.
Li Wei followed cautiously beside Zhang Ye.
Observing his profile, her eyes held both gratitude and curiosity.
She hadn't expected at all that the person who cured her acute gout at the hospital today would turn out to be a random passerby.
She could feel that her gout definitely wouldn't flare up again over the next few days.
For her right now, this was already an unexpected windfall.
After a brief hesitation, she took the initiative to thank him, "Dr. Zhang, th-thank you."
Zhang Ye stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look.
Only then did he discover in astonishment that Li Wei was actually taller than him!
Didn't that mean she was 1.9 meters tall?
Seeing Zhang Ye sizing her up, Li Wei felt a little embarrassed.
She repeated, "Dr. Zhang, thank you so much for today. Not only did you push me upstairs, but you also treated my gout."
Zhang Ye shook his head. "Don't mention it. It was just a small matter."
It really had just been an effortless favor.
He hadn't expected to run into such a tall girl here at all.
Li Wei still said gratefully, "Uh... it may have been effortless for you, but it helped me tremendously. If not for you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to compete in the tournament."
Zhang Ye asked casually, "Is that so?"
Seeing how easygoing Zhang Ye was, and that he seemed around the same age as her, the tension in her heart gradually melted away.
Noticing that Zhang Ye didn't dislike talking to her, Li Wei felt secretly glad.
She smiled and said, "Yeah!"
Without waiting for Zhang Ye to reply, she pulled up the QR code on her phone. "Can I add you on WeChat?"
Zhang Ye's expression stirred.
His goal today was to expand his clientele.
There would surely be plenty of potential clients at school.
perhaps he could use her to expand into the student market...
Sometimes, students' money was very easy to earn.
Zhang Ye: "Sure."
Li Wei said excitedly, "I'll add you!"
The two happily exchanged contact info.
The two took the elevator down to the first floor together.
In the elevator, to break the ice, Zhang Ye struck up a conversation: "How old are you?"
Li Wei smiled and said, "Doctor, I'm 21. An athlete."
Hearing the title "Doctor," Zhang Ye clarified, "I'm not a doctor."
He was also surprised internally: An athlete?
Li Wei asked in shock, "You're not a doctor?"
Immediately after, she looked for something to say to cover her gaffe: "Then, what are you?"
Zhang Ye interrupted, "I'm just a massage technician."
"Ah?" Li Wei's mouth opened slightly.
Doubt showed on her face—a massage technician cured her condition?
Still, she asked very politely, "Then should I call you Teacher Zhang?"
Zhang Ye didn't care about titles and said, "Call me whatever you like."
She smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, let me treat you to a meal."
A meal?
Zhang Ye shook his head.
He wanted to test what effects the Internal Energy had on his body.
He said, "Some other day. I'm not free today."
Li Wei felt a bit disappointed.
She genuinely wanted to thank Zhang Ye properly.
She added, "Teacher Zhang, then I'll treat you to a meal another day."
Zhang Ye nodded and walked over to his electric scooter.
"Teacher Zhang, goodbye."
After seeing Zhang Ye off,
Li Wei couldn't help but furrow her brows and mutter, "A massage technician? Able to cure gout?"
On the way back, the settlement rewards surfaced in Zhang Ye's mind once again.
Five thousand yuan?
A stream of Internal Energy?
Zhang Ye was pleasantly surprised.
He had already figured out that however much money a customer paid him, the System would settle it again for him, based on the number and type of services provided.
Didn't that mean Li Wei had given him five thousand?
Ding-dong. Sure enough.
Zhang Ye opened his chat app and found that it was indeed Li Wei transferring five thousand to him!
He hurriedly checked his current balance again; it was already fourteen thousand and thirty-four yuan.
Tomorrow or the day after, his ex-ex-girlfriend's mother, Yang Yan, would definitely come.
She had explicitly said she would bring her best friend and her daughter to see him.
Professor Yang's best friend might have a daughter too.
And her daughter would have best friends...
His clientele would just keep growing.
Ex-girlfriend?
How could she compare to an auntie's best friend!
