Chapter 23 - The School Doctor

Qin Ruo just felt that her day was humiliating and embarrassing. 

The school doctor only had a good appearance and a bit of medical skill to show off. 

After a while, Jiang Yu withdrew his hand, stood up, and stretched his muscles.

"It's just an endocrine disorder."

Qin Ruo couldn't believe the diagnosis. "How could that be?!"

Jiang Yu sneered. "Why not? It won't be good if your pulse is in total disarray. Didn't you mention palpitation? You have also confirmed the symptoms I just asked, right?"

Jiang Yu continued, "Oh! By the way, there should also be constipation and bad breath. You should be very clear about it."

After being told such a shameful thing, Qin Ruo immediately lost her usual gentle and weak appearance.

She frantically retorted. "I don't have bad breath!"

Regardless, the onlookers already had unconcealable disgust on their faces.

Qin Ruo could only bury her fingers in her palm.

She suddenly remembered Ji Lu, who was next to her. She went to ask Ji Lu for help.

"Ji Lu! I really don't have one!"

Unfortunately, Qin Ruo forgot that she removed her mask. She spoke to Ji Lu in such a condition. 

With the looming smell, Ji Lu subconsciously moved half a step behind.

Ji Lu only managed to remedy it at the last minute after his reaction. 

"I… Of course, I believe you."

Even so, Ji Lu's subconscious reaction said otherwise.

Jiang Yu, who was on the side, yawned with boredom.

"Alright, this has nothing to do with me. Don't call me over for such a minor affliction."

"The school doctor is not human."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yu turned around and left. When passing by the window, he unconsciously met Qin Qing's gaze.

The person who called Jiang Yu explained the situation along the way. 

In a nutshell, Qin Qing randomly pricked Qin Ruo twice with needles. 

Then, after a few days, Qin Ruo's face was covered with pimples.

Randomly pricking twice with needles? How could there be such a coincidence in this world? 

Such a large fluctuation occurred in the secretion system in a short period of time.

How could it be naturally produced?

Jiang Yu grinned with a meaningful arc.

Of course, it was man-made.

Qin Qing returned the smile.

The exchange between Qin Qing and Jiang Yu represented their mutual understanding.

In the next moment, an untimely noise came from the other side.

"Qin Qing, you can only be proud now! Once the principal returns in the afternoon, just wait and you will be escorted out of this school!"

Qin Qing didn't even bother to give Ji Lu a look. She just returned to her seat.

***

In the afternoon, inside the principal's room.

"Principal, you must expel Qin Qing for me today. Do you know how much Ruo'er has been wronged?!"

Qin Ruo pretended to persuade from the side. "Brother Ji Lu, it's okay..."

However, Ji Lu directly interrupted Qin Ruo. "Okay? Don't speak up for her. Listen to me this time."

Ji Lu unceremoniously said to the principal, "If you can't do it now, I'll ask my father to order you."

The principal hurriedly replied, "Don't, Master Ji. Set aside the expulsion first."

The principal explained, "It's not that I don't want to do it. Recently, the performance of provincial schools is being evaluated. This is the first time our school is given such an opportunity. It will badly impact the evaluation if we expel students right now."

Ji Lu asked, "Are you saying you can't expel Qin Qing?"

The principal fawningly smiled and said, "Master Ji, I really can't do anything right now. But it won't take a while. The selection for the best provincial school is only over a week away. Once it is over, I will immediately expel Qin Qing. Young Master Ji, what do you think?"

Although Ji Lu didn't want it in his heart, it was the only course of action possible.

Qin Ruo, who was on the side, was also unwilling, but she could still afford to wait for more than a week.

Just when Ji Lu and Qin Ruo were about to leave, there was a knock on the door.
