Teeth

"Get down," Ye Shuang said, seeing An Shiyu lingering on his thigh. Fortunately, there were no other students around. Otherwise, two school doctors helping with student checkups squeezed together like this...

It would be highly improper.

"Sigh." An Shiyu let out a deep sigh, as if trying to squeeze every last bit of air out of her chest. While Ye Shuang looked at her in confusion, she slowly spoke up, "There's something... I've been keeping from you."

"What is it?"

An Shiyu turned her head. Her eyes beneath her bangs were quiet, as if they could see right through a person's heart. The girl's lips moved, as though she was holding back a secret too heavy to speak.

"What exactly is it?" Ye Shuang was taken aback. This unusually quiet An Shiyu felt a bit unfamiliar to him.

"I..." An Shiyu clutched the fabric over her chest, her voice hoarse,

"Didn't eat lunch."

Ye Shuang: "...?"

"Why did you say it like you were about to die?!"

"If you go without eating continuously, you will starve to death," An Shiyu said very seriously.

"You were just eating a lollipop a moment ago!"

"Tch."

In the end, however, An Shiyu was dragged off by Ye Shuang to have her weight measured.

"161 cm, 50 kg." Ye Shuang recorded An Shiyu's data. According to the health indicators, her weight was quite normal.

After recording all the data for Class One, Ye Shuang was just about to take a short break when he received a message on his phone from another school doctor.

"@Doctor Ye, we have a bit of a problem over here at the dental station. Do you have time to come over right now?"

The next second, the message turned into a voice call. Seeing this, Ye Shuang had no choice but to answer. "Hello."

"Doctor Ye, have you finished recording all the students' heights and weights over there?"

"Yes, they're all done."

"One of the doctors here was accidentally bitten while checking a student's teeth. Could you come over for a bit?"

"Huh?" Ye Shuang didn't quite understand what was going on, but he still got up and walked to the room next door. Upon arriving at the dental checkup area, he noticed a fellow school doctor clutching his hand in pain. Even the handkerchief he was using to cover it was stained red.

"What happened?" he asked aloud. There were quite a few people standing around watching.

"A student had a metal canine tooth implanted, and it pierced right through his palm in one bite," another school doctor explained.

"Ah?" Ye Shuang was stunned for a few seconds, but he quickly told the injured doctor to head back to the infirmary to clean the wound. "I'll take over."

He had originally wanted to rest for a while, but with them being short-handed now, that was clearly impossible.

Taking the seat of the previous doctor, Ye Shuang glanced at the names on the list. His gaze finally landed on the girl standing right at the front. He observed her for a moment before asking,

"Are you the one who bit him?"

"I didn't do it on purpose," the girl replied immediately.

"Come sit over here and open your mouth so I can take a look," Ye Shuang said.

"Oh." As the girl spoke, she opened her mouth. Sure enough, there was a sharp little metal canine tooth implanted in there, looking just like the tip of a knife.

Seeing it, Ye Shuang couldn't help but fall silent. He felt like he had never seen anything like this in his entire life.

"Why... did you do this?"

"Oh my," the girl said, looking a bit shy. "My boyfriend always makes me use my mouth, so I got my tooth done like this. Let's see if he still dares to try."

Ye Shuang: "?"

He really was getting old. He couldn't quite keep up with the thought process of young people nowadays.

"That does sound pretty damaging to the D," An Shiyu said, standing to the side with her arms crossed.

It seems you know a lot.

"Alright, let's continue with the checkups. Don't crowd around here." After restoring a bit of order to the scene, Ye Shuang sat in his seat and began checking each student's teeth. In truth, this was the easiest part—just checking for cavities and any issues with wisdom teeth.

If there were any problems, he would recommend a suitable hospital for the students to get their teeth pulled. Plus, with a recommendation from Yinshan Academy, there would be a certain discount for the dental work.

It just so happened that Tang Keke and the others hadn't had their teeth checked yet either, so they came over and sat down.

"Brother Ye, my teeth don't look very nice." Taozi was the first to be examined, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's fine, I'm just checking to see if you have any cavities," Ye Shuang comforted her, then motioned for her to open her mouth.

After Taozi opened her mouth, Ye Shuang shined a small flashlight inside to take a look. They were fairly straight, and there were no signs of decay. "Not bad at all. Alright, next."

After signing Taozi's form, it was quickly time for the next person.

Bai Yuyou sat down and obediently opened her mouth at Ye Shuang's signal.

Her teeth were perfectly aligned, and there didn't seem to be any basic issues. But just as Ye Shuang was pulling out the wooden tongue depressor, Bai Yuyou chomped right down on it.

"Mmh," the girl blinked innocently.

Ye Shuang moved his hand up and down, and Bai Yuyou adorably followed the movement like a fish on a hook, as if she had started playing a game.

"Alright, stop playing around." Ye Shuang lightly tapped Bai Yuyou on the head, and only then did the girl settle down.

Next up was Tang Keke.

"Will my breath smell bad?" Tang Keke looked a bit awkward. It would be fine if it were a regular doctor, but Ye Shuang was someone she interacted with regularly. Having him look at her teeth gave her an inexplicable sense of embarrassment.

"It's fine, I'm wearing a mask," Ye Shuang said, gesturing to his face mask.

"Oh."

Only then did Tang Keke open her mouth.

Ye Shuang took a look, only to find some dark lines near her back molars. "Keke, you need to brush your teeth more diligently. Otherwise, you'll easily get cavities, and then you'll have to get them pulled."

"Really?"

"You don't want your teeth to rot away in the future, do you? When that happens, eating or drinking anything will be painful." Ye Shuang had no choice but to warn her, though his main goal was simply to get Tang Keke to eat less high-calorie food.

After all, Tang Keke practically drank sugary beverages like water.

Ye Shuang's words scared Tang Keke so much that she didn't dare be careless anymore.

In the past, it was reckless eating and drinking.

From now on—

Fearful eating and drinking.

After finishing the checkups for all the students in Class One, Ye Shuang glanced at An Shiyu beside him. As if thinking of something, he silently chose to ignore her.

"What about me?" Just as Ye Shuang was about to head back, An Shiyu stared at him with dot-like eyes.

"You guy, you weren't planning on just ignoring me, were you?"

"Oh, forgot. Sorry about that." Ye Shuang let out a light cough.

Who knew what kind of stunt An Shiyu would pull?

Left with no choice, Ye Shuang pulled out another wooden tongue depressor and signaled for An Shiyu to open her mouth. "Open."

"Oh."

An Shiyu actually opened her mouth honestly.

Just when Ye Shuang thought An Shiyu was going to behave, she suddenly spoke up, "Mmh, I'm not really used to this. This is my first time doing it so..."

Ye Shuang: "..."

He knew it.
