Chapter 28 Beautiful, Really Beautiful!

“Sorry, I mixed up the injured leg.”

Flushed from embarra.s.sment, Zhao Lingjun speedily removed his other shoe and raised his foot.

“How did you get such a big injury on your sole?”

Lin Qianxun who had been bent over and clutching her stomach in laughter, jumped in fright from seeing the wound, without a trace of her former smile.

Although the wound on his foot had already formed a scab, Lin Qianxun could still imagine how it looked like before it had scabbed over.

“Yesterday, my apartment complex’s sewer was clogged up, and so I went down into the tunnels to help them unclog it. Who would have known that I would get injured inside.” Zhao Lingjun gloomily explained to Lin Qianxun.

After Zhao Lingjun had explained, Lin Qianxun wanted to laugh, but the seriousness of the wound wasn’t something to joke about. Looking at the wound, she couldn’t laugh even if she wanted to.

“Don’t panic.” The old doctor surnamed Zhang smiled vaguely and soothed her upon seeing her anxiety. “Although the youngster’s wound looks terrifying, his luck was not bad. Only the flesh was injured, and it didn’t damage his major blood vessels or meridians.”

The old doctor smiled gently and asked Zhao Lingjun what his name was.

“My name is Zhao Lingjun.” Zhao Lingjun felt that when seeing a doctor, questions such as name, age and such were normal procedures, and thus he answered the old man honestly.

“How old are you this year?”

“I’m 25 years old.”

Old Zhang doctor’s second question wasn’t far off from his expectations.

The next question he expected the old doctor to ask was what injured him.

But the old doctor’s third question made him sweat profusely.

“Youngster, do you have any siblings? Are your parents healthy?”

“I’m the only child, and both my parents are well and healthy.” Confused, Zhao Lingjun still replied politely.

“Oh.” Doctor Zhang was satisfied and continued to ask while gently smiling, “Do you have a girlfriend?”

“Girlfriend?” Zhao Lingjun now was dumbstruck.

Not matter how he pieced it together, Zhao Lingjun couldn’t figure out how that was even related to his foot’s injury.

“Uncle Zhang!!…”

Before he could reply, Lin Qianxun had interjected with a red face.

“Heihei.” Old Doctor Zhang laughed at her.

“I’ll help you bathe the cat. Carrying it home like that wouldn’t be very convenient.”

Lin Qianxun quickly spoke to Zhao Lingjun before the old doctor could put in a word.

“Sure, sorry to trouble you.” he said while bowing his head slightly, Zhao Lingjun figured that if he was going to carry the cat home, carrying a clean one was a bit better.

Finis.h.i.+ng his sentence, Zhao Lingjun heard the cat he held meow. Then the cat which had been playing dead was obediently carried away by Lin Qianxun.

“Right, youngster, where did we stop just now? Let’s continue.”

Watching Lin Qianxun carry the cat out as if she was escaping the situation, Zhao Lingjun relaxed. However, Doctor Zhang didn’t seem to give up on getting an answer out of Zhao Lingjun.

“Just now?” Zhao Lingjun not knowing whether to cry or to laugh, took out a piece of tissue and wiped his stained s.h.i.+rt, while replying the doctor. “Just now you asked whether I have a girlfriend, but how is that related to my injury?”

“Heihei. “ Old Zhang Doctor looked at Zhao Lingjun and replied with a question of his own. “So, do you or do you not have a girlfriend?”

“I…” If anyone had repeatedly pushed Zhao Lingjun to answer such questions, he would definitely have pulled out his middle finger and yelled, “How the f*ck does it concern you?”
