An Shiyu and An Shiyi clearly hadn't expected their grandfather to say that. The two girls exchanged a glance before finally asking suspiciously, "Is it really a betrothal gift?"
"Of course, and that's only a part of it." Anshi Yilang looked at Ye Shuang and said, "What do you think, kid?"
"Uh..." Ye Shuang also hadn't expected the old man to say that, so he had to explain, "I already have a fiancée."
"Don't worry, just add them together. How can young people not have a little romantic drama?" Anshi Yilang said.
Ye Shuang: "?"
After dealing with the fuss for a while, an exhausted Ye Shuang walked out of the school director's office. This old man was like a broken record. Every time Ye Shuang tried to say something, the old guy would shout: "What?! Could it be that my little Yu..."
I'd better go back and get some rest.
...
Ye Shuang returned to the infirmary and closed his eyes to rest for a bit. He didn't know how much time had passed before he noticed some movement and looked toward the door. Two female students were standing outside, looking hesitant and secretly peeking into the room.
"Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Come in," Ye Shuang said as he stood up upon seeing the students.
"Hello, Doctor. My friend seems to have a splinter in her leg." The girl stammered a bit, her eyes too embarrassed to even look directly at Ye Shuang.
"Hmm? Then let me get it out for you," Ye Shuang said.
"Uh." Even though Ye Shuang said that, the girl still looked hesitant, as if she had some unspeakable difficulty. Seeing this, Ye Shuang opened his interface to take a look.
[Name: Luo Yumeng
Yinshan Academy, Year 4 Class 2, Drone Major. Has a wooden splinter in her butt.]
Ye Shuang: "..."
Her butt, huh. It seems she was too embarrassed, so she said it was her leg.
"Is it in a rather awkward spot?" Ye Shuang said with a smile, trying to make his tone sound as gentle as possible. "It's okay, I'm a doctor. You don't need to worry about it. Plus, you can use a blanket to cover yourself up a bit and only expose the affected area."
"Okay..."
In the end, the girl lay face down on the examination bed, and her companion used a blanket to wrap around her, leaving only the affected area exposed for Ye Shuang to see.
"It's infected and festering. Has this splinter been in there for a while?" Ye Shuang asked after noticing the wound.
"Yeah... I don't know how it got stuck in there..." the girl replied with a voice as quiet as a mosquito. In truth, she only came to the infirmary because the pain had become unbearable. Because of the awkward location, she was too embarrassed to speak of it, let alone go to a hospital.
"She probably just endured it and held out for a few days," her companion added to Ye Shuang.
"If there's a problem, you must see a doctor promptly. Many serious conditions develop precisely because people ignore them and drag things out," Ye Shuang said. He then put on his gloves and sanitized his hands.
"Student, please help me spread it apart a little." Ye Shuang felt it was inappropriate to use his own hands for that, plus he was holding tweezers.
"Oh, oh, okay."
After about ten seconds, Ye Shuang pulled the wooden splinter out, completely cleaned out the pus, and disinfected the wound.
"Did it hurt?" Ye Shuang asked. He had moved quickly and extracted it in an instant.
"Just a little."
After finishing the treatment, Ye Shuang took off his gloves and asked the girl to go to the side to fill out some paperwork. "The wound isn't too serious. Now that the foreign object has been cleaned out, it will heal very quickly. If you're worried, you can come back here regularly to get the dressing changed."
"Th-thank you, Doctor. Boohoo, I'll never be able to get married now!" Saying that, the girl covered her face and ran away.
Ye Shuang: "..."
Well, these things happen occasionally. Come to think of it, it had been a while since he had seen any feverish patients. Perhaps it was because people weren't aware that the Third Infirmary was open again.
A few more students came in after that, but none of them had any major issues.
This rare, ordinary daily routine of a school doctor made Ye Shuang feel a bit more peaceful inside. It was now almost time for school to end.
The setting sun scattered across the windowsill like shattered gold. A few pigeons hopped on the railing outside the window, occasionally turning their heads to look into the infirmary.
"Club activities aren't suspended today, so I might as well go take a look." As Ye Shuang thought this, he stood up and walked toward the Light Music Club's activity room. As a school doctor at Yinshan Academy, he rarely came to the campus anymore. As the supervising teacher, it would be best for him to at least show his face at the club.
After sending a message to the two girls, Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou replied that they happened to be in the Light Music Club as well.
Tang Keke: Currently practicing my instrument!

Bai Yuyou: The snacks at the Light Music Club have been really good lately.
It seemed neither of the girls was seriously practicing their instruments.
When Ye Shuang arrived at the activity room, he saw Zhixia and Linlin sitting on the sofa. Zhixia seemed very happy to see Ye Shuang arrive.
"Mr. Ye, long time no see!"
"Long time no see. You guys look like you're doing well," Ye Shuang said. However, he then heard the sound of a piano. He followed the sound and looked toward the corner—
A tall girl was playing the piano, her fingers fluidly striking the keys to produce notes.
"An Shiyeye?" Ye Shuang looked at the girl and subconsciously blurted out.
"It's An Shi Ducky!" The piano music came to an abrupt halt as the girl turned her head and immediately corrected him.
"Sorry, I couldn't remember for a moment."
"Mr. Ye, Yaya has joined our Light Music Club," Zhixia explained. Ye Shuang was a bit surprised, but he didn't say much. He simply welcomed her and sat down on the sofa.
"President, I have something to say!" At this moment, An Shi Yaya raised her hand.
"What is it?" Zhixia blinked.
"Isn't everyone in the Light Music Club slacking off a bit?!" An Shi Yaya put her hands on her hips.
Slacking off...
Hearing this, Zhixia looked around at everyone.
Tang Keke was playing a rhythm game, Bai Yuyou was nibbling on a rice cracker like a little hamster, Ye Shuang was reading a medical book on the sofa, Linlin was drinking tea, and she herself had been watching baking videos. If An Shiyu were here, she would most likely be playing video games too.
"Uh..." Zhixia stared blankly for a few seconds, her voice hesitant. "Maybe, just a tiny bit?"
"It's a lot!"
"No, no, I'm practicing my sense of rhythm," Tang Keke argued. "Playing rhythm games is also playing music."
"Actually, you can't really blame us for slacking off," Linlin had no choice but to say at this point.
"The academy hasn't held any events suitable for performances recently, so we're just taking a little break."
"That's right, that's right. Come over and have a cup of tea. These snacks are really delicious." Tang Keke also leisurely reached her hand out toward An Shi Yaya.

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos.
