Chapter 1401: The Blackened Good Girl (36)

Although Qiao Ge found it very strange that lately he had been unable to control himself, with the image of this little girl constantly filling his mind, he figured that if she had come looking for him, she must be feeling unwell. Otherwise, who would come to his place? People only came to see him when they were injured or sick.

“My stomach hurts,” Tang Guo said softly, causing Qiao Ge’s expression to become more serious.

System: ?

The host had a stomachache? Since when? Why hadn’t she asked him for some medicine? There were all kinds of painkillers in the system space, guaranteed to work instantly. It would be much faster than seeing a school doctor.

“Then… shall I examine you?” Qiao Ge asked instinctively.

The corners of Tang Guo’s lips curled up for an instant, too fleeting for him to notice. She forced out a smile and asked, “Big Brother, how are you going to examine me?”

How was he going to examine her?

Those words nearly made Qiao Ge drop the stethoscope in his hand. The little girl’s sweet, syrupy voice sounded far too pleasant. How could anyone’s voice be that sweet?

Sweet enough to make him want to pull her into his arms and steal a couple of kisses.

Qiao Ge quickly snapped back to his senses, horrified by the terrifying thought that had suddenly appeared in his mind. If he weren’t the only school doctor, he would probably have fled already.

“I-I’ll take your pulse first.” He set the stethoscope aside and sat upright on his stool, his back straight and his expression perfectly serious. “I know some traditional Chinese medicine too. Let me see what’s going on.”

In truth, his mind had already begun analyzing possible causes of her stomachache.

Did she eat something bad?

Or… had her period started?

For the first time, he found himself unable to ask.

In the past, female students had come to him with menstrual pain after eating something cold. He had questioned them thoroughly, and after learning one girl had eaten ice pops, he had even scolded her harshly.

So why was it that, under this little girl’s clear, innocent gaze, he couldn’t bring himself to ask?

Had leaving the big hospital and coming to this tiny school clinic really made him less professional?

Still, that wasn’t a problem. Even if the patient didn’t say anything, couldn’t he tell just by taking her pulse? He had considerable confidence in his medical skills.

Tang Guo placed her hand forward, and Qiao Ge rested his fingers on her wrist.

His expression was solemn, and he pushed all distracting thoughts from his mind.

Seeing that, Tang Guo raised an eyebrow and pursed her lips in a smile. “He actually looks pretty professional.”

Of course, Host. Even though you always leave him utterly bewitched and destroy his image settings, he’s never dropped the ball when it comes to serious matters, the System said proudly.

By the way, Host, what’s wrong with you? Does your stomach really hurt? Should I get you some painkillers? If you’re feeling uncomfortable, you have to tell me. I’m always here for you, the System said nervously.

Tang Guo: “…”

“My stomach does feel a little uncomfortable. It’s my period.”

Oh, I see. There are plenty of medicines in the system space for menstrual pain too. Two pills and you’ll be fine. They all came from high-tech worlds, much more advanced than anything here. Host, you mustn’t neglect your health.

Tang Guo: “…”

Her little System was really foolish sometimes.

“Isn’t there a school doctor right here? I heard his medical skills are pretty good, so I came to see him.” Tang Guo smiled faintly.

The System’s voice stopped abruptly.

Sorry for disturbing you.

He really hadn’t caught on. His intelligence had held him back again.
