Chapter 249
“Wanwan, are you here to find Xu Lin or me?”
“Uh...”
She actually just wanted to see if the two of them were up to something and interrupt them. But she had forgotten that Sister Qin couldn’t do anything strenuous these past few days, and she had acted impulsively. But the fact that the two of them took the chance to soak in the hot springs together... that had been her plan.
“If there’s nothing else, let’s go back. It’s been an hour since lunch; it’s time for the hot springs.”
“Okay.” Su Qingwan nodded, not knowing what else to say.
“You go by yourself. We can’t exactly accompany you to the shared bath.”
“Even if you wanted to, I wouldn’t want you to. Go on, I’ll just enjoy myself for a bit.”
Qin Yunhe led Su Qingwan away, and Xu Lin lay down on the bed, covering his head.
“I feel a bit dizzy from the soak. This mark can’t be entirely ruled out as a disease... I really don’t want to go to the hospital.”
Right, Zhu Zhaoxue is a surgeon, isn’t she?
Although she’s in orthopedics, she knows a bit about skin conditions too. Even if she doesn’t, she could ask a colleague, saving me a trip to the hospital.
Xu Lin sent a WeChat message to Zhu Zhaoxue, asking if she had time, knowing how busy doctors usually are. Surprisingly, she replied within two minutes.
Heart of a Healer: “What’s up? I’m out today, not at the hospital. Taking a day off and hanging out with friends.”
Xu Twelve Young Master: “I see. I noticed a red mark on the inside of my arm. It looks like a tattoo, but I’m worried it might be a skin condition.”
Heart of a Healer: “Oh? Let me take a look. Skin conditions shouldn’t be taken lightly. Send me a picture.”
Xu Twelve Young Master: “Okay.”
Xu Lin sent two photos and waited a few minutes for her reply.
Heart of a Healer: “Sorry, I don’t know what it is either. But it doesn’t look like a skin condition; it really does look like it was artificially imprinted.”
Xu Twelve Young Master: “It looks that way to the naked eye too, but touching it feels just like normal skin, no texture difference.”
Heart of a Healer: “Wait a bit. I’ll ask a friend who’s an expert in dermatology.”
A few more minutes passed before he received a reply. It seemed he would still need to go to the hospital.
Heart of a Healer: “No luck, she hasn’t seen anything like it either. You’ll need to come to the hospital for an instrument check. If it’s not contagious and doesn’t affect your health, you can ignore it.”
“Alright.”
Heart of a Healer: “By the way, why are you lying on the floor?”
“On the floor?”
Heart of a Healer: “Yes.”
Xu Lin glanced at the picture and realized it showed the tatami, which was the same color as the wooden floor.
“No, it’s a tatami mat. I’m at Qinglong Lake with some friends.”
With that, she walked ahead in a huff. Xu Lin quickly closed the door and caught up.
“You go back first. I’ll go pick them up.”
“I’ll go too.”
“Alright.”
Xu Lin saw Ji Yun looking at him with suspicion and nodded. He was the least familiar with Zhu Zhaoxue, having only met her twice, and both times briefly. On the other hand, he had met Jiang Zimeng twice as well, but they had known each other online for several months.
The two arrived at the front desk and saw Zhu Zhaoxue with a slightly plump middle-aged woman.
“Sister Zhu.”
“Xu Lin.” Zhu Zhaoxue saw them and nodded, and the middle-aged woman beside her smiled.
“I didn’t expect you to actually be at Qinglong Lake.”
“I’m on a break today. Haven’t had a rest like this in a long time. This is our hospital’s dermatology department head, Huang Ying. Just call her Sister Huang.”
“Hello, Sister Huang.”
“Hello. I’ll take a look at you later. I’m quite curious why such a mark would appear.”
Her gentle smile made Xu Lin and Ji Yun understand why doctors were called an angel in white. Her smile was very reassuring.
“And this young lady is?”
“Sorry, I’m Ji Yun, Xu Lin’s classmate.”
“Oh, my cousin told me about you. Class monitor, top of the class, very impressive.”
“No, no, you’re too kind.”
Ji Yun waved her hand. It was the first time she had been complimented so directly and she felt quite embarrassed.
“Did you two buy tickets?”
“Just regular ones, so we’ll need to borrow your VIP single room.”
“Come on, let’s go to our place to rest first.”
“Sorry to trouble you.”
Leading the two angels in white to their place, it was Qin Yunhe who opened the door and immediately recognized Zhu Zhaoxue.
“Miss Zhu?”
“Miss Qin, long time no see... Last time you and...”
Xu Lin and Qin Yunhe were startled, having forgotten that last time at her bakery, Qin Yunhe had said he was her boyfriend!
