Chapter 974: You Really Got Me Into Trouble
Time flew by, and it was already six o’clock.
Lin Tian, sitting behind the curtain, couldn’t remember how many classmates he had treated with acupuncture. His condition hadn’t deteriorated much; after all, he was a Golden Core expert, and this level of acupuncture was just child’s play for him.
But he couldn’t withstand the sheer number of people. He wasn’t sure how many people there were at Kanyue City Medical University, nor how many showed up today.
All Lin Tian knew was that if he continued like this, he wouldn’t need to rest.
Finally, Liou Qingcheng couldn’t bear it and bought some food for Lin Tian, negotiating with him to finish the acupuncture by seven o’clock.
This announcement by Liou Qingcheng received unanimous approval and understanding.
After all, Lin Tian was just one person; how could he take care of so many people? And it was free. He could have quit long ago after a high-intensity, high-focus acupuncture session lasting four hours. Anyone else would have given up by now. If any mistakes occurred, the trouble would be significant.
After hearing Liou Qingcheng’s announcement, many who considered themselves healthy withdrew from the line, giving the opportunity to those who truly needed it.
Once one person stepped aside, a second and a third followed suit. Soon, the long queue shrank by half.
Lin Tian remained oblivious to the situation outside, focusing intently on his duties. Time flew by until eight-thirty, when he finally finished treating all the queued students.
After waiting in line for so long, suffering quietly, one could only assume that their conditions were urgent. Would spending a bit more time here make any difference?
Afterward, Lin Tian and Liou Qingcheng went home. To be honest, Lin Tian didn’t feel tired, so he continued with the plan to create life once they returned.
That night, Kanyue City Medical University’s students were busy. Whether on their phones or computers, they were fervently discussing one person, and some even shared their feelings about today’s acupuncture session.
This matter attracted a swarm of reporters, who frantically sought interviews all night long.
Before dawn, interview videos and articles flooded the internet. Soon, it became a viral sensation, catching worldwide attention.
Lin Tian couldn’t count how many times he appeared in hot news; he was inexplicably famous, relying solely on his abilities without hiring anyone to boost his fame.
Of course, some questioned whether Lin Tian was buying popularity. Those who voiced skepticism were either ignored or criticized heavily.
Lin Tian hadn’t registered a personal Xunxin account, but everyone knew he was a shareholder in Qiansimei Company and had previously appeared on Qiansimei Xunxin. Taking advantage of the situation, Qiansimei’s official blog gained over three million followers overnight, and its first Xunxin message skyrocketed to over eighty thousand comments within three hours.
As the central figure, Lin Tian paid no attention to these matters. He was presently lost in passion.
The next day, upon seeing the news, he felt a headache coming on. Going out too much was troublesome. It seemed like he’d need to wear a disguise when going out recently. If he showed his true face, he’d likely be swarmed again.
As for Liou Qingcheng, she returned home exhausted after attending school the following day. Many classmates and reporters swarmed her, persistently asking about Lin Tian.
Liou Qingcheng spent the entire day coping with them. Later, she took leave from Zhao Xuefeng and holed up at home with Lin Tian. Outside just wasn’t a place where people should be.
After two days at home, Lin Tian received a call from a long series of digits.
Seeing this lengthy numeric ’password,’ Lin Tian immediately thought of Chen Moxiang, knowing only she would use such a satellite number to contact him.
"Hello, did you miss me?" Lin Tian mischievously asked. It was fortunate that Liou Qingcheng wasn’t nearby; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the nerve to make such an open joke.
"Get lost!" The voice on the other end was precise, but Lin Tian immediately realized it wasn’t Chen Moxiang calling—it was Nan Qiu.
"If you didn’t miss me, at least be polite, right?" Lin Tian asked with a smile. "You called me because your commander woke up?"
Nan Qiu was momentarily stunned. "How did you know?"
"I prescribed the medicine. How wouldn’t I know? I guess he woke up yesterday morning, right?"
Nan Qiu gasped; this guy was too unusual. How did he know this?
"Yes, he wants you to come over again," Nan Qiu said.
Lin Tian asked curiously, "You want me to come over? Why? I already explained the prescription and considerations. I don’t think I’m needed anymore."
"I don’t know why, but we hope you can come by. The commander wants to meet you," Nan Qiu replied.
Lin Tian considered it for a moment and agreed, "Alright, I’ll head over now."
After hanging up, Lin Tian informed Liou Qingcheng and drove away.
At Jinfukang Hotel, Lin Tian soon spotted a familiar face. Hua Dongxu was seated at a window-side table in the lobby cafe, engrossed in a book, with a cup of hot milk on the table.
Inspired, Lin Tian walked over and sat opposite him, smiling. "Mr. Hua, what a coincidence to meet you here."
"Lin Tian? What are you doing here?" Hua Dongxu asked, surprised, closing his book.
Lin Tian answered with a smile, "Nan Qiu called me over. Seeing you here, I thought I’d say hi."
Hua Dongxu suddenly understood, flashing a smile showcasing his white teeth. "You’ve made a big splash lately. I might even ask for your autograph."
"Hahaha, is this the first time you’ve joked with me?" Lin Tian laughed, teasingly adding, "What about Zhina? Why isn’t she with you?"
"Zhina..." Hua Dongxu became awkward, speculating, "She might be studying some medical book in her room."
Observing his unease, Lin Tian probed further, "Has she gone for drinks with you?"
"Drinks? Wh-what drinks?"
"Mr. Hua, this is the first time I’ve seen you nervous. Why don’t you just admit it?"
"Admit what?" Hua Dongxu responded, seemingly perplexed. "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
"You can’t hide it from me. Honestly, it was my idea," Lin Tian laughed with a shrug.
"What?!" Hua Dongxu exclaimed, catching on as Lin Tian’s questions made sense.
"Lin Tian! Lin Tian! You really got me into trouble!" Hua Dongxu sighed deeply.
