Chapter 141: Urgent Matters

A few days later in the hospital, Leng Ruoli was about to get her stitches removed.

When Jiang Muye heard about the stitches coming out, he already felt a phantom ache in his flesh, let alone Leng Ruoli, who was a girl and would definitely be even more afraid of the pain.

Jiang Muye stayed by her side, accompanying Leng Ruoli through the procedure.

Leng Ruoli was clearly afraid. Her little face was completely pale.

For a girl who was scared even of getting an injection, how could she possibly not be terrified of having stitches removed?

Just as the doctor was about to begin, Jiang Muye, without another word, cradled Leng Ruoli's head and kissed her brown hair. "Be good, I'm here."

He signaled the doctor with his eyes. "Be gentle."

The doctor encouraged Leng Ruoli, "Don't be afraid. I have experience with this. It won't hurt much."

But Jiang Muye could clearly feel Leng Ruoli, buried in his embrace, trembling desperately.

He looked down and could see her delicate, beautiful little face, pale as paper, like a jasmine flower battered by rain, so pitiful it tugged at the heart.

Jiang Muye almost wanted to set Leng Ruoli into his very bones.

He wished he could take that discomfort and pain on her behalf.

But he couldn't.

His heart ached terribly, and in his torment, he remembered that he was someone who had a System.

Jiang Muye asked the System: Is there any way to make my girlfriend feel no pain?

The System replied: 【Painless Anesthetic. Host, you can enter the Advanced Shop to exchange for it. Duration is ten hours, and it lets the other party experience no pain.】

The System's words solved his urgent problem.

What Jiang Muye needed most right now was exactly this, so he entered the System Shop and immediately spent five hundred Grit Points to exchange for it.

After using the Painless Anesthetic, the heart Jiang Muye had been holding in his throat was finally set at ease.

While the doctor was removing Leng Ruoli's stitches, Jiang Muye could feel that her trembling had vanished. Even she raised her head in a bit of a daze and looked at Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye soothingly rubbed his forehead lightly against Leng Ruoli's.

The stitches came out quickly, and it was done before long.

Jiang Muye brought Leng Ruoli back to the hospital room, and she was pleasantly surprised. "How come getting the stitches out didn't hurt at all? I didn't feel a thing."

Jiang Muye's spirits lifted, and he said to Leng Ruoli with a grin, "That proves the doctor really is experienced. She perfectly avoided all your pain points."

Leng Ruoli smiled and looked at Jiang Muye. "How much advertising fee did you take from the doctor?"

"I'm a voluntary promoter," Jiang Muye said, the corner of his mouth curving up. "Want some hot water?"

"Sure." Leng Ruoli nodded.

So Jiang Muye went to pour hot water for Leng Ruoli. Just as he handed it to her, his phone started ringing.

As a result, he heard Little White Dove's troubled voice. "Muzi, are you still at the hospital?"

"I am," Jiang Muye said with a nod.

"How about you come back for a bit and go see the Counselor? I don't know which nasty piece of work wrote a report letter, reporting you for skipping class." Little White Dove's words made Jiang Muye's brows knit tightly.

In order to take care of Leng Ruoli, naturally he couldn't run off to class every day. He had his roommates sign in for him and cover for him, and that was how he was able to skip.

Normally, nobody said anything about this kind of thing, and the university professors turned a blind eye, not even noticing there was a problem.

But once a report letter was written, it would alert the upper levels of the school.

The professors couldn't possibly sit by and ignore it. It would absolutely affect Jiang Muye's future credits, and in serious cases even affect whether he could graduate.

Jiang Muye replied to Little White Dove seriously, "Alright, I understand."

After hanging up, Jiang Muye said gently to Leng Ruoli, "Something came up at school. I have to go back for a bit. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, hurry on then." Seeing the grim expression on Jiang Muye's face, Leng Ruoli knew something must have happened, but she didn't want to upset Jiang Muye, so she didn't ask anything more.

If he wanted to tell her, he naturally would.

Before leaving, Jiang Muye told the caregiver to take good care of Leng Ruoli, and only then did he head back to school.

The moment he stepped into the Counselor's office, the System's notification tone rang out: 【Congratulations, Host. Check-in at the office successful. Obtained 500,000 RMB.】

Jiang Muye had already seen the Counselor, whose face was full of displeasure.

The Counselor took a sip of tea and looked at Jiang Muye. "You're here."

"Yes," Jiang Muye said with a nod.

"Your absence rate has been very high lately. Do you still want to graduate like this?" The Counselor was quite unhappy.

"I had some personal matters to deal with. I'm sorry, Counselor." Jiang Muye admitted his mistake first. After all, skipping class really wasn't good.

"Even if it's personal matters, you can't let it affect your studies. I think very highly of you. I think you're a promising talent, and suited for graduate school." The Counselor shook her head. "In your situation, I can only cross you off Peking University's list of candidates for recommendation for graduate school."

She did feel it was quite a shame.

After all, Jiang Muye was a student in her care with excellent grades, good athletic ability, and good character. Although he was a bit uneven in some subjects, fortunately his scores in the other subjects and his major scores were high enough.

But this time, after being reported by name, she couldn't shield Jiang Muye either, or she wouldn't be able to win over the crowd.

"It's fine. I can test my way in myself," Jiang Muye said with certainty.

He was currently bound to the Top Student System. The graduate entrance exam was not hard for him.

Even if he took the exam himself, he could still get into Peking University's graduate program.

"Good. Having that confidence is admirable." The Counselor nodded. "But I discussed it with the upper levels, and we can actually make an exception for you. We've specially found a student to supervise you. I hope you won't let us down and won't keep skipping class."

Jiang Muye's brows knit tightly. "Who?"

"Knock knock knock." Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

The Counselor was beaming. "Come in."

Jiang Muye immediately turned around and saw a graceful figure appear on the scene.

Her long hair flowed like a waterfall, her skin was white and her lips red, and a pair of calm eyes glanced over Jiang Muye as the corners of her mouth faintly curved upward.

Jiang Muye was astonished.

The Counselor had already begun the introduction. "This is your classmate Xia Xiran, also an outstanding student representative of the Literature Department. As Vice President of the Student Council, she has the duty to supervise your lateness and early departure issues. Please cooperate well with her."

Xia Xiran extended her hand toward Jiang Muye and smiled. "Please guide me."

But Jiang Muye ignored Xia Xiran's outstretched hand and said to the Counselor, "I can discipline myself. There's no need to have her supervise me."

【Congratulations, Host. Refusing Xia Xiran's supervision. Obtained two hundred Grit Points.】 The System began to emit steam.

The Counselor said unhappily, "Muye, Xiran is a responsible girl. She will correct some of your bad habits. I hope you won't have any resistance in your heart. I know everyone has a lazy side and doesn't want to study, but I don't want to see the students under me fall into degeneracy just like that. You're a talent, and you should strive upward."

Xia Xiran nodded repeatedly and said to Jiang Muye with a smile, "Don't worry. I'll tutor you well."
