Chapter 317: The Background Fiancée in a Campus Story (20)

"I'm the campus physician."

As soon as Song Yijin spoke, Cen Yinghuai felt the man was talking nonsense.

Since when are campus physicians this qualified?

They hire guys this good-looking now?

Perhaps sensing Cen Yinghuai's doubts, Song Yijin slowly took out his work ID.

Sure enough, his ID confirmed he was St. John's University’s physician...

Yet, as he passed Tang Qing over, Cen Yinghuai felt an inexplicable reluctance.

Especially seeing how Song Yijin held Tang Qing in his arms... The way the handsome doctor held his new roommate—his gaze was oddly heated.

As their figures faded from view... Cen Yinghuai’s heart gave a sharp thud!

System Alert: "Cen Yinghuai’s Affection +35."

Tang Qing stirred awake, the first thing she saw being Song Yijin's stern face. The doctor’s expression was stormy, his brows furrowed.

Perfect.

Tang Qing broke into her familiar smile and said softly, "Dr. Song... So it was you."

At her voice, the man at the desk glanced up—a flicker of delight before his face shuttered again.

Song Yijin replied expressionlessly, "You're awake."

"There’s water by your side. It’s warm."

Tang Qing reached out and touched the cup—the temperature was just right. Taking a sip, she noticed a faint sweetness.

"I mixed in some glucose."

Hearing this, Tang Qing smiled sweetly. "I knew Dr. Song had a soft spot for me..."

"So sweet—literally."

Song Yijin said coldly, "What you’re after isn’t my concern..."

Today, he’d finally gotten a look at Tang Qing’s precious fiancé.

Sure, the guy was easy on the eyes.

No wonder she went to such lengths to chase him...

Thinking of Cen Yinghuai’s face today, Song Yijin’s tone grew even icier. "Pity it was me who had to haul you back here."

She’d probably rather have been in Cen Yinghuai’s arms...

The thought made his skin crawl. Song Yijin wrenched the window open!

The cold air did nothing to ease the heat under his skin.

"No pity here."

"What did she just say?!"

Song Yijin turned around, just in time to meet Tang Qing's smiling eyes. She spoke, "Dr. Song, from the very beginning, I've said... It's always been you I wanted."

Song Yijin's dark gaze flickered briefly, his ears suddenly burned hot...

Unconsciously avoiding Tang Qing's stare, the doctor replied stiffly, "You..."

"This kind of joke... isn’t funny."

Tang Qing: "Even if I’m lying, Dr. Song..."

"You still blushed!"

Dammit!

Of course she was just messing with him!

His ears were still burning. Song Yijin tried to calm his racing heart to no avail; he shot her a glare!

After a long moment of silence, the waving lucky cat figurine on the desk swayed back and forth, somehow annoying Song Yijin.

He was this close to tossing that stupid cat away!

Then, against his better judgment, Song Yijin asked, "So... what you just said..."

"Was it the truth or a lie?"

Tang Qing’s eyes crinkled with amusement, her grin was as mischievous as the lucky cat’s.

Deliberately drawing out her words, she teased, "Guess."

Like hell I will!

Deadpan, Song Yijin flicked the lucky cat's arm, causing it to sway violently before he snapped the drawer shut!

After the crisp sound, Tang Qing could practically feel the room grow colder.

System Alert: "Detected increase in Song Yijin's affection value. Current affection value: 32 points."

A while later, a commotion erupted outside the infirmary, and Cen Yinghuai’s booming voice cut through the air.

"Cao Zhong, what are you doing, skulking around like a thief!"

"Why are you plastered to the window?!"

Cen Yinghuai’s voice boomed like thunder! Cao Zhong was startled—one leg already over the sill, he hastily pulled it back!

Dammit!

Of all people, why him?!

Turning around, Cao Zhong wore an ugly expression; he stiffened awkwardly as he forced out, "You're here too..."

"Obviously, I'm here to see my friend." The young master's eyes swept over Cao Zhong from head to toe, suspicion lacing his tone. "So... what are you up to?"

Absolutely up to no good!

Who even does that?!

"What shady idea are you cooking up now?"

"You're making things up..." Cao Zhong's attempt to explain lacked conviction, and he was already regretting his actions!

I must be out of my mind!

When he heard Tang Qing fainted, he suddenly felt uneasy—especially when he thought about...

That 3K run was his fault to begin with.

That just made it worse.

Going through the front door meant facing Tang Qing without knowing what to say, so he figured he'd just sneak a look through the window to see if she was alright...

Under their suspicious stares of the entire dorm 1403, Cao Zhong had no choice but to brace himself.

"Pfft. Bet you’re loving this, huh?"

Cao Zhong: I’m not.

"Tang Qing really fainted—you got what you wanted?"

Cao Zhong: Not really.

"You just came to rub it in!"

Cao Zhong: Pretty sure I’m the punchline here...

Cao Zhong wanted to clap back at every word Xin Ke said!

But...

The words just wouldn’t come out.

After several failed attempts to speak up against the aggressive trio,

Cao Zhong bolted like a coward!

The only thing left by the window? A single apple.

Its bright red color was impossible to miss. Cen Yinghuai picked it up, examining it carefully before muttering, "This apple’s pretty big..."

"You think Cao Zhong laced this thing?"

Shen Shu: "That’s illegal."

"Yeah, guess so."

Hefting it in his palm, Cen Yinghuai continued speculating, "It’s pretty heavy too. Maybe he grabbed a big one just to bean Tang Qing with it..."

The second he said it, Cen Yinghuai turned and caught Shen Shu giving him the ‘are-you-serious’ stare...

"Are you actually this dumb?"

Cen Yinghuai froze, then measured the distance between himself and Shen Shu, debating whether to deck Shen Shu first!

Xin Ke jumped in just in time!

She yanked the apple away before Cen Yinghuai could swing!
