Chapter 163: Chapter 164: Twists and Turns (Vote for monthly tickets – extra updates for the Moonlight Sanctuary Alliance Hierarch!)

When Chen Cang returned to the ward, it was already past ten o’clock.

Qin Yue was diligently treating a patient’s wound.

Chen Cang took the initiative to step forward, to hand Qin Yue things and assist her, all without speaking.

Qin Yue didn’t speak either. Their tacit cooperation had lasted for more than two years, and it didn’t hinge on a word of thanks.

After finishing with the patients, Qin Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead; it was a hot summer night.

Chen Cang said with a smile, “Hard work indeed.”

Qin Yue gave Chen Cang a look, “It’s always like this. You call in the middle of the night, and I don’t even have to think; it’s definitely to cover a shift!” After finishing, Qin Yue sighed, “Chen Cang, I now feel that adding your mobile number was utterly pointless. When you call, there’s never an issue, while I’m out on a date with a young man. Your call comes, and here I am, sprinting out of the cinema, hailing a cab in a rush to get to the emergency room.”

“If you had any conscience… but no, you’re heartless!”

Having said that, Qin Yue stood up, ready to take off her white coat and leave.

Chen Cang chuckled, “It’s because I think that Qin, the great beauty of the emergency department, is kind and good-looking—that’s why I asked for your help.”

However, Chen Cang, curious, asked, “Wait a minute, you went to the movies with someone? Damn! Qin Yue, you’ve actually found someone, that’s not right!”

Qin Yue hadn’t been angry before, but at these words, she bristled, “Chen Cang, who are you to look down on people? Do you think everyone’s like you, cultivating a hundred years to be a lone dog, companions for a thousand being hands!?”

After speaking, with a snip, Qin Yue left in high spirits.

Chen Cang grew somewhat concerned, “Qin Yue… now that you have someone, let me give you a gift…”

Qin Yue’s eyes lit up instantly, “A gift? What gift?”

Chen Cang spoke thoughtfully, “Do you know Zhang Zhixin? Doctor Zhang from surgery, he does plastic surgery on the side.”

The moment Qin Yue heard this, she hurried over, her eyes sparkling, “You know Zhang Zhixin? Is there a discount on the plastic surgery?”

Chen Cang nodded!

“Yes, a discount. I get along quite well with him; I occasionally help out over there, getting you a discount is no problem.”

There were stars twinkling in Qin Yue’s eyes, “Oh my, I’ve been wanting to get my eyebrows done recently. I feel like my eyebrows aren’t pretty enough…” Chen Cang shook his head, “No way, I think your nose, eyes, and eyebrows, every part of you is great, there’s absolutely no need for plastic surgery on your face.”

Qin Yue felt a surge of delight, “Really?”

Chen Cang nodded, “Of course!”

Qin Yue smiled and patted Chen Gang’s shoulder, “Not bad at all! Chen Cang, why so sweet with your words today? Then why are you sending me to a plastic surgery hospital?”

Chen Cang sighed, “What I was thinking, you see, as the oldest single young woman in our emergency department who has managed to find someone, I feel honored and very happy for you. However… 1 worry about something.” “After all, you’ve just started getting to know each other, and you probably don’t understand each other deeply enough. I thought we should seize this opportunity to head to Long Bear, right? We shouldn’t wait until you get returned, what do you think?”

Qin Yue felt her anger becoming unmanageable, her temples throbbing wildly. She felt she was on the edge of exploding…

Seeing Qin Yue’s expression, Chen Cang thought he’d touched upon her worries, his heart throbbing… look, even her breathing quickened…

“I think with my connections, a discount can be arranged!

Qin Yue clenched her teeth, “How much of a discount?”

Chen Cang mulled it over, “Triple discount!”

Qin Yue could no longer tolerate it, grabbing her white coat and hurling it at Chen Cang, “Damn it! I asked for a discount! Triple discount, my foot! I’ll give you a discount on your leg! Fifty percent off on one leg!”

The next day, as the sun shone brightly, Li Baoshan walked into the emergency room with a joyful heart.

During the handover, he suddenly noticed Chen Cang holding his forehead and grew curious.

“Chen, look up,” Li Baoshan said.

Chen Cang was startled, holding his hand on his forehead and slowly lifted his head, “Director, what is it?”

Baoshan noticed Chen Cang still clutching his forehead and immediately became curious, “What happened to your forehead? Why are you covering it like that?”

Only then did everyone turn their curious gazes toward Chen Cang, noticing his right hand covering the right side of his forehead.

Chen Bingsheng was also stunned for a moment, “Chen, put your hand down.” Baoshan nodded in agreement, “Yeah, why do you keep covering your forehead? Do you have something to hide?” Qin Yue, on the other hand, tilted her head and made a snorting sound. Chen Cang sighed and lowered his hand, at which point everyone was shocked. There was a swollen bump on the right side of Chen Gang’s forehead, red and swollen, which probably wouldn’t subside for a few days.

Baoshan almost laughed out loud at the sight of Chen Cang, who looked like the Silver Homed King.

“What happened to you? Got a bump on your head working the night shift?” Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, “I got hit by the door when I was entering…” Everyone immediately burst into laughter.

Qin Yue stared at Chen Cang, giving him an evaluating glance, “Consider yourself lucky…”

Chen Cang felt helpless. Indeed, both petty people and women are hard to deal with… but the hardest to handle are bears’ women, they are even more difficult to please!

I had good intentions, afraid that you would be rejected and returned in your true form, 1 even introduced you to a doctor and secured you a massive discount—you ungrateful thing…

Ouch… that really hurts!

Chen Cang also discovered that the white coat didn’t have any attributes, but the surgical gown had a defense bonus of +3.

That made Chen Cang somewhat regretful.

In the morning, nobody was very busy.

Chen Cang sat there, touching his forehead and spacing out, when Qin Yue came over and threw a box of ointment in front of him.

“This is a Tibetan medicine for bruises and injuries, sent to me by a classmate.

It works well, you should try it.”

Chen Cang picked up the box, saw the incomprehensible Tibetan medicine with its Chinese translation, turned to look at Qin Yue with a pitiful expression, “I’m disfigured now, you have to take responsibility…”

Qin Yue snorted coldly, “Heh…”

And she turned away and left!

Chen Cang opened the medicine and discovered it smelled terrible. He squeezed out a little and applied it to his forehead, spreading it around.

Wang Qian just happened to pass by and saw the medicine on Chen Gang’s forehead, inhaling deeply through his nose, “Cang Er? Are you rubbing shit on your head… It stinks!”

Chen Cang immediately felt his eyelids twitch with irritation.

Not only did it stink but it also stung his eyes. Chen Cang felt a sour sensation in his eyes… a gritty feeling and the verge of tears, similar to when he got menthol on his eyes in school.

However, the bump felt quite comfortable, not so painful anymore.

Just bear with it…

Just before noon, when it was almost time to get off work, Wang Yong rushed in, “Chen Cang! Damn it, why were you penalized?”

Chen Cang was startled, “Penalized? What penalty!?”

Not only did Chen Cang wonder, Shi Na also hurried in, “Chen, what did you do last night? Why did the medical department post a notice saying you abandoned your post during the night shift? They’ve issued a warning and criticism against you! What happened?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Gang’s face suddenly changed color!

It was SongQiang!

It had to be him!

ps: That’s the end of the fourth update!

The fifth update isn’t finished yet… Maybe I’ll release it at midnight along with the rest, since it’s more enjoyable to read them all at once. Reading chapter by chapter isn’t satisfying, and I know the regulars understand that releasing them separately is better since it doesn’t impact the subscription rates as much. However, considering it’s less enjoyable for you to read them separately, I generally prefer to release them in batches. Although this leads to a significant drop in subscriptions, sometimes by three to five hundred, or even up to seven or eight hundred, at least it ensures a comfortable reading experience for all of you. I hope you have fun reading and will support the old hand as well! Thank you!

Tonight at twelve, I’ll see how many chapters I can write, but I guarantee at least five..
