Shi Lin raised his eyebrows, took out his phone, and opened her WeChat chat box.
"How much money do you need?" he asked her, tilting his head.
How much money?
This was also her first time doing something like this, so she didn't have a good understanding of the market price, but her father's medical expenses were indeed a considerable amount.
Lin Mian hesitated, unsure of how much to ask for.
Shi Lin caught sight of her hesitation, tapped on the keyboard with his long fingers, typed a few words, and then read out the search information in a few seconds.
"According to..."
He raised his gaze, landing it on her: "How much do you need, fifty thousand, or one hundred thousand?"
Lin Mian hadn't expected him to know this as well.
The price he mentioned was much higher than the ones posted in the school restroom; she was at a loss.
She lowered her head and quietly said, "Fifty thousand."
Shi Lin unlocked his phone, lightly tapped with his fingertip, and transferred a sum of money.
The sound of the transfer 'dinged', and Lin Mian instinctively looked at the screen. When she saw the receiving amount displayed, she was stunned.
A full one hundred thousand.
He had given her twice as much.
Lin Mian looked at the man in astonishment, feeling a bit startled by his generosity. Subconsciously, she felt he had given too much.
Shi Lin put away his phone, glanced at her stupefied expression, and said, "Are you not leaving yet?"
He had intentionally left half as her pocket money.
For a female college student, this money would be enough to cover her living expenses for a long time.Lin Mian regained her composure and pressed her lips together to accept the payment.
"Thank you," she whispered.
The man looked at the computer screen, his superior features showing no emotion, his voice flat and cold.
"Next."
Lin Mian squeezed the prescription and left.
Outside, she coincidentally met Lu Zhibai, who was about to enter. They brushed past each other, and Lu Zhibai glanced at the medication slip in her hand, his eyes holding an intriguing glint.
Lin Mian's mind was focused on getting her medication, so she quickly left.
In the consultation room, Lu Zhibai pushed open the door, sounding a bit gossipy.
"Gastroenterology, why are you prescribing gynecological medication?"
Shi Lin glanced at him.
"Mind your own business."
Lu Zhibai leaned over the desk, his gaze scanning him accurately, noticing the faint red scratch marks on his exposed forearm.
His eyes suddenly became meaningful.
"I wondered why you didn't join me for drinks last night, turns out you had other plans."
Shi Lin stared at the computer screen, his tone flat. "You barged in while I was working just to tell me this?"
Lu Zhibai asked, "Is that young lady who just left your lover?"
"Not really."
"Well, it seems like you had a passionate night with her, I noticed she was walking a bit awkwardly. Did you play too rough with her?"
Shi Lin raised his head to glance at him. "Don't you have anything better to do?"
Lu Zhibai chuckled. "The orchid actually has a taste for this, I thought you preferred sexy women, but it seems you like these soft and gentle ones"The little white rabbit has quite a unique taste, doesn't she?"
Unique?
Shi Lin recalled the scene from last night in bed. Under the harsh light, she was clean from head to toe, pale and slender, with a delicate figure that blended innocence and charm. Her eyes were red, and her soft moans easily aroused the desire to conquer in men. She did indeed look like a little white rabbit, enticing and inviting.
"Let's get back to business," Shi Lin snapped back to reality, too lazy to banter with Lu Zhibai.
Lu Zhibai then said seriously, "Qin Li's birthday is this weekend. He wanted me to notify you that there will be a gathering at the Star Trend Club."
"I got it."
After saying this, Shi Lin promptly ushered Lu Zhibai out of the consultation room.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Mian immediately transferred the money to her mother.
She thought for a moment and transferred only half of it, in case she needed to transfer more next time.
The other party quickly accepted the money without a word, and even through the screen, Lin Mian could feel the indifference and impatience on the other end.
Lin Mian waited for a while then sent a WeChat message to her brother.
"After Dad's surgery, please let me know the results."
The reply on the other end was a simple "ok" gesture.
Lin Mian collected her medication and took the bus back to school.
As she reached the dormitory building, her path was blocked by a figure, and a nonchalant male voice called out to her.
"Lin Mian, stop right there."
Lin Mian instinctively took two steps back, keeping a cautious distance of one meter from the person in front of her.The man in front of her was named Song Zeyuan, a senior student in the Finance Department next door. It was rumored that he came from a wealthy family, a second-generation rich kid who spent money freely and lived recklessly, frequently changing girlfriends.
Lately, he had been pestering her.
"Are you looking for me?" Lin Mian hid the medicine bag behind her back, watching him warily.
Song Zeyuan stared at her immaculately pure face, feeling an irresistible itch in his heart, eager to seduce her and take her to a hotel for some wild fun.
This kind of pure and innocent girl was just another accomplishment for him.
He took a step forward, his handsome face approaching hers.
