Chapter 42: Chapter 41: Are you there? Drawing a college admission notice?

"Holy shit! Isn't that Laosi and Lin Xiaohua?"

Having just removed the medical tube and finished stitching up a patient, Pu Tongren leaned back on his hospital bed, wanting to browse Dou Ying for a while, and as soon as he opened Dou Ying, he saw Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue.

"Ah? Has Laosi come to take over his shift? Wuu wuu wuu, I can finally go back to the dorm to sleep!"

Qin Shan, who had been dozing off beside the bed and hadn't slept all night, abruptly lifted his head.

With a look of surprise, he stood up, only to find that Laosi and Lin Xinyue were not there.

"No, I'm talking about this video! Isn't this Laosi and his girlfriend?"

Pu Tongren sat up, turning his Dou Ying feed to show Laosan.

Qin Shan moved in to take a look and, upon clearly distinguishing the protagonists of the video, his swollen eyes suddenly opened wide.

"Holy shit? It really is Laosi! He has gone viral on Dou Ying!"

In the video, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue were sitting hand in hand on a bench beside Haidong University's Swan Lake.

At first, it was just the two of them showing affection and chatting, when Laosi suddenly started singing a song by Chen Yixun!

"Let's Spend The Long Years Together"! They had heard Laosi sing it in the dorm!

But they had also teased Laosi about not having a girlfriend to sing it to.

Well now, it had certainly come in handy!

Someone had filmed it and uploaded it to Dou Ying, and just one song had exploded in popularity!

"Isn't this the National Husband? Tsk, just look at the title they came up with! It fits our Laosi's style perfectly! The person who recorded the video really has vision!"

Qin Shan read through the video title and nodded in agreement.

This good looks, this physique, this soulful singing voice, what else could he be if not the National Husband?

Look at Lin Xinyue in the video, she was moved to tears by Laosi's heartfelt confession!

"Look at the comments section, it's already filled with Laosi's fans and hardcore followers!"

Yu Shutong clicked to open the comments section of the video, and was greeted by a uniform explosion of comments:

"Front row claw-mark! This is my husband!"

"Sobs, it's so good! Please debut on the spot!"

"Is this a preview for the upcoming youth idol drama? Please be sure to tell me the name, I'll definitely follow it when it's released!"

"My God! If he confessed to me, I'd give him the keys to my ten buildings right away!"

"I'm calling it! One minute, I want all the information on this couple!"

"Please let me know the Dou Ying accounts of the male and female leads, need a portal, thanks!"

"..."

Of course, there were also comments that were self-proclaimed as sober and those from boxing enthusiasts.

"Definitely another marketing account, I'd like to see when they'll start selling products!"

"By my judgment, guys who confess by singing are without a doubt scumbags!"

Replies in the thread:

- "Talking your dog crap!"

- "I don't believe this punch didn't take ten years of training!"

- "..."

With every refresh, the number of comments would jump by dozens or hundreds, a sign that the video's popularity just kept growing!

At the end of the video, Lin Xinyue also mentioned the 120th school anniversary, and so the fans who were really into shipping got to work. They immediately traced the school through the account that posted the video.

Then, through an online search, they quickly found news about Haidong University's Freshman Night and the 120th school anniversary.

"To all the sisters near Haidong University! Get ready to rush in seven days!"

"@HaidongUniversity Official: Can an old auntie who graduated ten years ago return to the school for the Freshman Night?"

"@HaidongUniversity Official: Can I buy a ticket for entry?"

"@HaidongUniversity Admissions Office: Hello? Any chance for an admissions notice?"

"..."

The entire comments section had been completely taken over by netizens.

The title "Haidong University's National Husband" had even surpassed the popularity of the famous singer Wang Dali on hot search rankings.

Meanwhile, the media operations department and admissions office at Haidong University were also in an uproar.

The media teachers and admissions office staff, who had been leisurely drinking tea in their offices, suddenly found their phones beeping incessantly, like Morse code messages.

They were so startled they thought their phones were being bombarded with messages.

But when they checked their phones, it turned out that the official Dou Ying account they managed was being frenziedly mentioned by netizens.

After watching the video and reading the comments, the teachers sitting in different offices simultaneously slapped their thighs!

"This is a great opportunity to promote the school!"

"This is a great opportunity to promote enrollment!"

Immediately after, they hurried to find the higher-ups and search for the information of the two students in the video.

Besides the school's media, external media, like cats that smelled a mouse, began to search for news about Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue from all aspects.

To ride the wave of popularity, they would never fall behind anyone.

Gu Yu and Lin Xin had no idea so many people were looking for them at that moment.

After lunch with Lin Xinyue, Gu Yu had already set off for the Affiliated Hospital to take over the shift for his third brother.

He wore a mask the whole trip, so no one recognized him.

He got off at the north gate of the hospital.

He originally planned to go through the emergency department to reach the inpatient department but thinking of the atmosphere in emergency, he decided to detour to the east gate and go upstairs from the outpatient department.

Entering the elevator, he looked at the numbered buttons.

Just about to press for the sixth floor, for some reason, he suddenly thought of Old Liu.

So he stepped out of the elevator and followed the floor's guidance lines to the neurology ward.

"N134, this is it."

Gu Yu looked up at the ward door number, then stepped inside.

"Surgery tonight, right? Good, I really thank Dr. Xu! I'm going right now to pay the surgery fee in full."

He had just walked in when suddenly he heard a familiar voice.

Following the voice, he saw it was Old Liu's son, Liu Ermao.

Only, his hair had been dyed back from red-haired to black at some point. seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Liu Ermao was communicating with an old doctor who looked to be about fifty years old, and he was holding a bank card in his hand.

Dr. Xu nodded and walked away, not noticing Gu Yu at the door but turned to speak to Old Liu on the hospital bed.

"You old bastard, I'm going to pay the 50,000 yuan for you now! You have to have this surgery whether you like it or not! I, Ermao, refuse to be talked about as a bastard with no father!"

"You unfilial son, just let me die and be done with it! It'll save you spending the money from selling that shop of yours, wouldn't you be happier? Now all of a sudden you come with fake concern to treat me! I won't do it! Just get out! Go back to Lianyun Port and continue your heartless debt collecting!"

"..."

"Pah! You old ghost, you're too old now, you can't call the shots in this house!"

The two argued for a while, both refusing to give in, until Old Liu, gasping for air, stopped talking and Liu Ermao turned to go and make the payment.

In the moment he turned around, Gu Yu saw his eyes instantly shift from defiance to sorrow.

Was Liu Ermao really the unfilial son who wanted his father dead?

Gu Yu couldn't help but question his earlier judgment.

Liu Ermao clutched the bank card tightly and walked forward with his head down.

Suddenly, he saw a pair of feet blocking the door and looked up ready to lash out, but then he recognized it was Gu Yu and quickly switched to a rebellious and wild smile.

"Hey, Brother Yu! What a coincidence, you're here too?"

"Yeah, just came to see your dad. The stent surgery for his cerebral infarction is arranged, right?"

Gu Yu nodded, his gaze moving past Liu Ermao to look at Old Liu, who was silent on the bed.

Liu Ermao's expression paused, and from Gu Yu's tone, it seemed like the emergency bed added by Dr. Xu was arranged by him?

"Uh... it's arranged, I was just about to go pay! That Dr. Xu... is that you?"

Liu Ermao came to his senses and quickly nodded, then halted mid-sentence and made a hand gesture.

His gesture roughly meant: Did you arrange the emergency surgery?

"No big deal, I just happened to know a consulting physician and mentioned it in passing."

"Since it's already arranged, I won't disturb your father any longer, I have other friends to visit."

Gu Yu openly admitted it, as it truly was something he arranged through his connections, and there was no need to hide it.

With that, Gu Yu didn't give Liu Ermao a chance to speak; he turned and walked away.

Liu Ermao stood rooted to the spot for a few seconds, his expression changing rapidly.

Suddenly realizing that Gu Yu was moving away, he hurriedly chased after him, calling out, "Brother Yu! That..."

Gu Yu stopped in his tracks, turning his head in puzzlement.

"Thank you!"

Liu Ermao's lips moved faintly, then he seemed a bit embarrassed as he quietly exclaimed.

Gu Yu didn't hear it clearly, but he read Liu Ermao's lips.

He just gave a faint smile and continued on his way.
