Chapter 96: I'm Full of Vim and Vigor

"Boss Cutie."

In the end, Little White Dove got a smack on the head from Jiang Muye. "Don't waste food. It wasn't made for you in the first place, and here you are turning your nose up at it."

Old He started frowning as soon as he took a bite, and sighed. "God opened a door for the Cold Campus Belle, but shut a window."

Jiang Muye immediately got protective. "She's not a chef. What does she need to be good at cooking for? Besides, we've got servants at home who can cook. For her first time cooking, this is already really good!"

As he spoke, Jiang Muye started stuffing sushi into his mouth again. "I think it tastes pretty good."

Little White Dove laughed. "This is what they mean by beauty in the eye of the beholder. Even the food's got a tasty filter on it now."

Old He shared Little White Dove's thinking and nodded repeatedly. "Who could argue with that? If the Cold Campus Belle hadn't made it, Muzi probably wouldn't take a single bite."

Jiang Muye rolled his eyes. "Less talking, more eating."

The taste really was bad, but Jiang Muye ate with gusto, and he finished the entire box of sushi.

Having eaten his fill and drunk his fill, Jiang Muye was thoroughly content.

He sat there leisurely with his hands folded, just waiting for the professor to come teach.

But beyond Jiang Muye's expectations, an accident happened.

While Jiang Muye was in class, his stomach started to rumble.

Thump, thump, thump.

Jiang Muye felt a vicious, twisting pain in his abdomen.

He suddenly clutched his stomach. So painful.

Jiang Muye sucked in a sharp breath, biting down on his back teeth.

Little White Dove, next to him, noticed something was wrong with Jiang Muye and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to the toilet," Jiang Muye told Little White Dove, and started heading for the back door of the classroom.

After Jiang Muye finished in the toilet, he felt the twisting pain in his stomach still hadn't gone away.

He'd just come out, and he was already bracing himself against the door. He felt something wasn't right again and went back in.

Jiang Muye went several times, his face pale and thoroughly miserable.

Just when Jiang Muye felt he couldn't take it anymore, Little White Dove, Old He and Kai came. They'd noticed Jiang Muye had been gone from the classroom too long and came to check.

Seeing Jiang Muye's face as pale as paper, his stomach clutched, his whole body wracked with spasms of pain, they instantly panicked.

"Muzi, are you okay? Can you hold on?"

"Hurry up and get Muzi to the hospital!"

"Exactly, he looks about to collapse."

Jiang Muye gritted his teeth and waved a hand. "I'm fine."

Then a wave of nausea came up, and Jiang Muye suddenly went back to hugging the toilet, throwing up violently.

His roommates were frantic.

Kai, as the dorm leader, hurriedly hoisted Jiang Muye onto his back.

Little White Dove drove the sports car Jiang Muye had given him, and took his roommates and Jiang Muye to the hospital as fast as they could.

At the hospital, Jiang Muye lay on the sickbed and heard the System's reminder chime.

【Congratulations, Host, you have checked in at the hospital successfully. You have obtained 500,000 RMB.】

Jiang Muye was speechless. Who'd want to come to a hospital?

Right now he didn't want a reward like that at all.

He'd eaten something bad and brought on acute gastroenteritis. He was throwing up and having diarrhea.

When the System saw that Jiang Muye was a bit irritable, it immediately prompted: 【This System has now launched a new product for the Host: Health Recovery Agent. You can exchange Grit Points for it in the System. Recovery is instant, and the pain disappears.】

When Jiang Muye heard the System's words, he saw hope.

What he needed most right now was exactly this!

Jiang Muye hurriedly exchanged 500 Grit Points for the "Health Recovery Agent."

He downed it in one go, and felt full of vim and vigor. His previously weak body immediately became well again.

At that moment, Kai began to inform Jiang Muye. "Muzi, we need to go get you hooked up to an IV now."

"No need, I'm better," Jiang Muye said.

"That can't be right. You were on the verge of death just now. Don't be brave. Gastroenteritis can get serious and make you collapse. Go get the IV." Kai spoke to Jiang Muye very seriously.

Even Little White Dove, who was usually anything but serious, was worried sick. "Getting an IV is a hassle, but you should do it here for the sake of your body. Anyway, we're here with you, so you don't need to worry about being bored. There's nothing going on at school anyway."

Old He nodded. "If anything comes up at school, I'll let you know. Just rest up well now, and don't think about anything else."

Seeing the three roommates all worrying about him, Jiang Muye's heart was much more at ease, and he was very happy.

These three were decent, loyal guys. As expected of brothers who'd flunked classes together and lain in the same bedroll!

"I'm really fine. I wouldn't be brave about it. I'm truly better. My recovery ability's probably just really good." To show his body really was in good shape, Jiang Muye immediately started doing push-ups on the floor.

This utterly stunned his roommates.

Jiang Muye was nimble and agile, every bit the super-he-man. He did dozens of push-ups on the floor without tiring, without even panting.

Jiang Muye even started showing off. "Right now I could run a marathon, and beat to death ten of those weepy little authors without even breaking a sweat."

"There was no such thing as that strong? Muzi, you're really better?" Kai still found it hard to believe.

"Really." Jiang Muye nodded. "I'm fine."

But the others were still rather uneasy and wanted Jiang Muye to stay in the hospital for observation. They even took Jiang Muye to see the doctor and get checked out.

The doctor sat there looking at a rosy-cheeked Jiang Muye and was somewhat stunned. He pushed up his glasses. He'd never seen anything so absurd.

A boy who'd just been throwing up and having diarrhea, completely sapped of energy, was now full of vim and vigor, glowing with spirit. He didn't look the least bit ill.

Even with the best stamina and the fastest recovery, no one got better this quickly.

"Then I'll prescribe you some medicine," the doctor told Jiang Muye, but Jiang Muye shook his head. "No need."

"Nonsense. You may feel a bit better now, but acute gastroenteritis comes and goes. No matter how young you are, you can't just casually ruin your body like this." The doctor scolded him.

"Then let me go get a test done now. If there's nothing wrong, don't prescribe me anything." Jiang Muye made the request to the doctor.

Seeing Jiang Muye's insistence, the doctor said, "Fine, I'll prove you wrong. Go get checked, I'm sure the numbers are still elevated."

The roommates were about to take Jiang Muye to get his blood drawn and checked again.

Just as they got to the second floor to have his blood drawn, a call suddenly rang out.

"Muye!"

Jiang Muye immediately saw a girl come flying at him like the wind. Her little face was stark white, and her brows and eyes were filled with nothing but worry for Jiang Muye.

She ran extraordinarily fast, her graceful figure swaying in the gentle breeze.

The person who appeared was Leng Ruoli. Her grape-like black eyes flickered, and seemed to be brimming with tears.

Jiang Muye was astonished. "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in class right now?"
