When Chen Mu reached the door of the school medical office.

The students outside were quietly observing Chen Mu's expression.

"This..."

At the moment the door opened, Su Bingbing unconsciously opened her mouth wide.

The floor inside the room was covered with a large pile of snacks and various drinks.

"Dr. Chen, these are some tokens of appreciation from the students for you."

The student at the front of the line outside the medical office cautiously observed Chen Mu's expression.

Seeing that Chen Mu didn't look displeased, he finally spoke up, "You've been working overtime for us, thank you for your hard work!"

"Such nice words!"

"If you know I've been working hard, then don't make me work overtime!"

With his head lowered and his hands in his pockets, Chen Mu walked past the students and entered the room. The first thing he did was change out of the blood-stained white coat he was wearing.

Seeing Chen Mu's indifferent demeanor.

A few students who had been eagerly anticipating at the door silently lowered their heads.

Suddenly.

The sound of light footsteps approached, and the students looked excitedly toward the inside of the medical office.

Chen Mu, wearing a new white coat, took a box of milk given by the students, bit on a straw, and stood at the door of the medical office, "Hey, students, can we discuss something?"

"Dr. Chen, go ahead!" came a loud response from the crowd.

Chen Mu shook the milk in his hand, "The milk is pretty good, but after the check-up, if any of you have time, could you help me buy a bun from the second cafeteria? I haven't been able to get one for several days."

"Grab! Dr. Chen, I don't have money on my campus card, do you?"

The boy's response elicited a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Ignoring those who shouted that they had money on their campus cards, Chen Mu took out his meal card from the medical office's drawer and handed it to the boy.

"While you're at it, could you also buy some breakfast for Reporter Su and the cameraman? They probably haven't eaten either."

The boy took Chen Mu's meal card with a grin, "Miss, I suddenly remembered I might have some money on my meal card. I'll treat you to breakfast! I know a really good breakfast place!"

Su Bingbing replied with a smile, "Then thank you, student!"

The boy ran off happily, "No problem, no problem! Reporter Su, wait for me, I'll be back soon!"

Watching the boy quickly disappear from the entrance of the medical office, Chen Mu clenched his teeth, "That kid's meal card balance sure is flexible!"

—

"Geez! That student's emotional intelligence is so low, he unknowingly offended our school doctor!"

"You can't afford a bun for the school doctor, but for your goddess, you'll spring for a full banquet, won't you?"

"Don't blame Dr. Chen for being speechless, I'm speechless just watching. This kid knows human relationships."

"Did no one notice that this guy was also in line outside the medical office? Judging by his running speed, he's pretty healthy!"

"Dr. Chen, I found another one faking sickness to get a medical leave note! It's the kid buying you breakfast!"

"..."

—

"You can start the consultation now."

Chen Mu sat down at his desk.

With Dr. Chen's permission, Su Bingbing couldn't wait to continue acting as his assistant.

She walked to the door to call numbers.

A pale-faced girl walked in, bent over, "Dr. Chen, you're finally back!"

Chen Mu: "ID card or health insurance card, give me one."

The girl silently handed over her ID card.

Chen Mu silently created a case file for the girl, and when he pulled up her information, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Hu Xiaorou, a sophomore?"

Realizing that Hu Xiaorou was not a freshman, Chen Mu's expression became slightly more serious.

Not a freshman means no military training.

It meant she was genuinely sick.

Hu Xiaorou nodded with a pained expression, "Dr. Chen, this area hurts. I feel like my bones ache..."

The area she was holding was a bit sensitive.

Chen Mu paused for a moment, then said, "Miss, if you want me to examine you, I might need to press on the painful area to assess your condition."

"If you're uncomfortable with me being a male doctor, I can call for an ambulance from our school for you."

Chen Mu's tone paused slightly, "It's free."

—

"Does free even need to be emphasized? Is there such a thing as a paid ambulance?"

"???"

"Who's the bright one up there, not even knowing ambulances charge a fee?"

"Our country's ambulances are pretty cheap, right? A starting fee of ten yuan, with an extra charge of two yuan per kilometer beyond three kilometers."

"Since some people aren't aware, let's do a little public education!"

"Cardiac resuscitation costs, massive bleeding resuscitation fees, and the drugs and materials you use all cost money. Additionally, there's the doctor's visit fee, stretcher fee, and highway tolls that the patient needs to cover..."

"Wow, I just watched a show, and this knowledge got stuck in my head..."

"..."

—

Hu Xiaorou's eyes flickered.

"Dr. Chen, can I first ask how much it would cost if I went to the hospital for this problem?"

Hu Xiaorou's question surprised Chen Mu a bit.

But considering the cost of hospital visits, for some students, and even some families, it could indeed be a significant expense.

Chen Mu's tone involuntarily became much gentler, "Getting an X-ray would cost a few hundred, and how much subsequent treatment would cost depends on the specific condition of your ribs."

"If your ribs aren't dislocated and there's no serious problem, then local heat therapy, taking some medication, combined with acupuncture can relieve it."

"In the school hospital, it might cost around ten yuan or so to resolve?"

"The medication you'll take costs money, but acupuncture and the school doctor's consultation fee are free."

Hearing Chen Mu's words.

Hu Xiaorou's eyes brightened, "Dr. Chen, since you're so affordable, please help me with my treatment!"

"I trust Dr. Chen's character!"

Chen Mu was at a loss, "You're trusting that I'm cheap, aren't you..."

Despite his verbal complaints.

Chen Mu still stood up and covered the examination bed with a new disposable medical sheet, "Lie down, no need to take off your shoes."

"I might have to feel your ribs to confirm the degree of any damage."

"If it hurts, remember to tell me."

Hu Xiaorou nodded with a flushed face.

Chen Mu raised his hand.

He touched Hu Xiaorou's rib, "Does it hurt here?"

"No..."

"How about here?"

"No..."

"Here?"

"Still no..."

"Here?"

"Yes, yes! Doctor, this time you got it!"

Chen Mu silently withdrew his hand.

With a serious expression, he said to Hu Xiaorou, "Next, I will press again on the painful area, and apply some pressure to check if your rib is dislocated."

Hu Xiaorou lay straight on the examination bed.

Her eyes only held the simple innocence of a university student and full trust in Chen Mu, "Dr. Chen, you can examine it!"

"Please make sure to correctly assess my condition; if I can avoid going to the hospital, I'd rather not. My living expenses are quite limited this month! A hospital trip would mean I'd have to eat gruel and greens!"

Chen Mu raised his hand again, reaching for Hu Xiaorou's rib, "Got it..."
