Chapter 9: I want to cuddle, I want kisses, I want a reward.
That one second was enough to widen the distance between them, and Zhou Huai, with the amplification from his Wind Speed Shoes, quickly arrived between the two.
The man showed no sign of stopping; only a stubborn ruthlessness remained in his bloodshot eyes.
Seeing Zhou Huai blocking his way, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He gripped the fruit knife in his hand and suddenly raised his hand to stab Zhou Huai in the chest.
Although the opponent was a patient, Zhou Huai did not underestimate him and still magically produced the famous sword, Lightning Pill, to counterattack.
He easily parried and countered, knocking the fruit knife away, then kicked the man to the ground.
The man struggled to get up, but was firmly held down by security guards who rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
Seeing that the problem was solved, Zhou Huai put away the famous sword, Dianguangwan, and turned to walk towards the female doctor.
"Little brother, thank you for saving me."
The female doctor, still shaken, watched him approach. The shock faded from her pale face as she regained her composure.
"Dr. Su, saving lives is the priority."
Zhou Huai saw the name tag on her chest, which read: Deputy Chief Physician of the Emergency Department, Su Xinran.
Zhou Huai was secretly astonished that someone so young was already an associate chief physician.
"Yes, I'll thank you properly later."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xinran turned around and quickly walked into the emergency room.
Just then, the voice Zhou Huai had been waiting for finally came.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. You are rewarded with 4 chances to draw a prize.]
[Congratulations, host, on perfectly completing the mission. You are rewarded with 1 chances to draw a prize.]
As far as I can remember, Zhang Qingshan went missing, and it wasn't until a year later that the police found his remains.
Zhou Huai never expected that he would die today.
With a sigh of relief, Zhou Huai returned to his chair and took out his phone to send a message to Sun Yichang.
Reminiscence, Bai: Fish Ball, are you asleep? (I miss you.)
Baby Shark: No, I just finished showering, I'm so tired.
Reminiscence, Bai: Why did you go take a shower again?
Baby Shark: My mom and I went to my aunt's house. She has several children. My mom went shopping with her, and I stayed behind to play with them. We played with colored clay, and ended up getting it all over my clothes. Those kids were very mischievous; they wanted to play with this one minute and that the next.
Reminiscence, Bai: Haha.
Baby Shark: What about you? Did you go back?
Reminiscence, Bai: No, I'm at Anjia Hospital right now.
After editing the last sentence, Zhou Huai casually took a selfie and sent it over.
Just seconds after the message was sent, Sun Yichang's reply popped up.
Baby Shark: What happened? Are you injured?
Recalling, Bai: No, it was A-Yi's father who was injured. I happened to run into him on my way home and came to the hospital with the ambulance.
Baby Shark: Is it serious?
Recollection, Bai: Yes, there is a bit, but a very skilled chief physician just went in to treat her, so it should be fine.
Baby Shark: Did you talk to Justice?
Recalling, Bai: I said he should be arriving soon.
Baby Shark: Okay, let's talk later, my mom's here.
Reminiscence, Bai: Okay.
Putting away his phone, Zhou Huai looked up to catch his breath, only to bump into a slender figure standing in front of him.
The girl who arrived was dressed in a nurse's uniform, with her hair tied in a low ponytail, her eyebrows curved, and a faint smile on her face. She looked exceptionally pure.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Zhou Huai asked, taking the initiative to speak.
"Little brother, you were so cool just now. Can I get your contact information? My name is Jiang Mian."
The nurse blinked, her tone playful and proactive.
Zhou Huai paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "That's possible, but I have a question for you."
"Okay, go ahead and ask."
"What's going on with that male patient just now?" Zhou Huai asked curiously.
"He was not satisfied with the surgery results and had already made a big fuss in the ward during the day."
Jiang Mian sighed, her tone tinged with helplessness.
"But Sister Su is already the most skilled surgeon in our emergency department."
Zhou Huai realized that it was a doctor-patient dispute.
My QQ number is…
Just then, he saw Zhang Zhengyi enter the hall.
"How much?"
"35416xxxx, my friend is here."
After saying that, Zhou Huai got up and walked towards Zhang Zhengyi.
"Ayi, over here."
Zhang Zhengyi strode over, his face filled with anxiety, his voice trembling slightly, "Brother Huai, how is my dad now?"
"Don't worry, he's in the emergency room over there. He's out of danger and should be out soon."
Zhou Huai patted Zhang Zhengyi on the shoulder and comforted him, saying that he absolutely believed in the system.
"Brother Huai, thank you. Just now, a policewoman called me and briefly explained the situation."
Zhang Zhengyi's eyes reddened, and he looked at Zhou Huai with gratitude in his eyes. He took a step forward and hugged him tightly a few times.
"Speaking of which, we are brothers for life."
Zhou Huai patted him on the back.
Just then, Zhou Huai's phone rang.
"Your friend 'Only Loves Porridge' has sent a video chat invitation."
He picked it up and saw it was Chen Yao, so he clicked "reject".
Reminiscence, Bai: I'm not available right now.
But as soon as the message was sent, another invitation popped up, along with a message. I don't care.
Zhou Huai rubbed his forehead helplessly, said something to Zhang Zhengyi, then got up and quickly walked outside the hall before pressing the call button.
As soon as the call connected, Chen Yao's face appeared on the screen.
She was covered with a blanket, her hair casually spread on the pillow, and her cheeks were flushed.
"Why did it take you so long to answer, you stinky Zhou Huai."
Chen Yao wrinkled her nose, her tone carrying a hint of coquettish complaint.
"Look, I'm in the hospital, it was really inconvenient for me just now."
Zhou Huai quickly switched his phone camera to clearly capture the "Anjia Hospital" sign behind him in the frame.
"Oh? Are you hurt?"
Chen Yao's expression changed instantly, her eyes filled with worry.
"Is Li Wenwei causing trouble again? He won't be around for long. I've already had someone investigate his father. For nouveau riche like his family, their money must have come from illegitimate sources."
Hearing her earnest and sincere concern, Zhou Huai felt a deep touch on the softest part of his heart.
"I'm fine. It's A-Yi's dad who was injured. I happened to run into him on my way home, so I came to the hospital with him. Don't worry," Zhou Huai explained patiently.
"That's good. Zhou Huai, aren't you curious at all? I've been waiting for you."
Chen Yao suddenly changed the subject, pretending to be angry, her cheeks puffed out like a cute little hamster.
Zhou Huai chuckled. He wasn't stupid; he naturally knew what she was thinking.
"You already know."
Chen Yao's eyes sparkled, and her anger vanished instantly, replaced by pure joy, with a smile unconsciously curving her lips into a smile.
"How would I know if you didn't tell me?"
Zhou Huai rolled his eyes at her helplessly, but his eyes held a tenderness.
"Honey, I want to cuddle, I want to kiss, I want a reward."
Chen Yao suddenly closed her eyes and mustered up the courage to say those words.
Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry, breaking away from her usual cold and aloof image.
"Not...you???"
Zhou Huai's pupils dilated instantly, and he froze completely.
The Chen Yao he remembered didn't like to talk to boys or chatter. The contrast between her current appearance and her current demeanor was too great.
Wait, this... this "clamping" sound... why does it sound so familiar?
Zhou Huai frowned, as some blurry fragments of memory flashed through his mind.
"I haven't thought of it yet, honey~"
Chen Yao opened her eyes, deliberately pouted, and dragged out her words in a coquettish tone.
"You...you're Hua Mei, and your online name is 'Remember to bring a bouquet of flowers when we meet'?"
Zhou Huai tentatively opened his mouth.
This name comes from a girl he met while playing a browser game called "Hot-Blooded One Piece".
That was the first time he fell in love. He married her in the game and called her "wife" countless times.
"Waaaaaaah X﹏X, you finally remembered, honey."
Chen Yao immediately pouted, her eyes reddened slightly, looking wronged, and her voice trembled with a sob.
"Didn't you cut off contact first?"
Zhou Huai's tone was somewhat bewildered, and also carried an indescribable emotion.
"Sigh... Honey, do you remember how we first met?"
Chen Yao sighed softly, her eyes softening with tenderness and longing, and asked in a low voice.
"Of course I remember. At first, we each had our own guild and were both guild leaders. To compete for the top spot on the leaderboards in various games, we spent all our time spending money on those crappy games. Later, when I couldn't afford to spend anymore, you stopped too."
As Zhou Huai recalled the scene, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.
"Back then I was crazy, I thought money was nothing, and I kept throwing it in. Looking back now, I was really stupid."
"After we get married in the game, you always say you want to be the man of the 'player king,' so I thought if I became the 'player king,' your dream could come true."
Chen Yao's voice was gentle, tinged with a nostalgic wistfulness.
"So I kept adding money, but I added too much, and my dad found out."
