Chapter 87: Chapter 87: A Woman’s Vicious Heart

On Thursday morning, when Yu Zhiming walked out of his bedroom, he was surprised to see his Fourth Sister was also awake and had gotten out of bed quietly.

He followed his Fourth Sister over to the sofa.

On the makeshift bed on the sofa, Gu Qingning was sleeping soundly under a thin blanket. Her dark hair partially covered her face, and she was hugging a dachshund plushie.

Yu Xiangwan lowered her voice. "Fifth Brother, I’ve been keeping an eye on her for you these past two nights."

"She doesn’t snore, grind her teeth, or talk in her sleep. She’s as well-behaved as a little rabbit when she sleeps and doesn’t toss and turn."

"Also, her breathing is very light."

"Come listen for yourself. Can you even hear her breathing?"

Seeing Yu Zhiming standing there motionless like a rock, Yu Xiangwan said with exasperation, "What a perfect sister-in-law."

"And now, after those two slaps from you..."

"I mean, Fifth Brother, what on earth were you thinking last night? Why did you have to hit her so hard?"

Yu Zhiming mumbled, "A bet’s a bet."

"Besides, that girl was dead set on giving me a good beating to vent her anger..."

Seeing his sister’s gaze turn severe, Yu Zhiming switched tracks and said sheepishly, "Sis, my brain just short-circuited at that moment."

"It would have been such a shame not to slap such a beautiful pair of legs to see how they felt."

This explanation made Yu Xiangwan recoil.

"Fifth Brother, I’m going to work hard to find a partner and have another child to take care of you in your old age."

"Now, just quietly wash up and get out of here. Go eat breakfast outside."

"I’m worried that if she wakes up, you two will start fighting again, and it’ll be even harder to clean up the mess..."

Yu Zhiming left the Zijin Garden District on his own bicycle.

It was a Phoenix brand bicycle he had ordered online. It had been delivered yesterday afternoon, and Yu Xiangwan had already assembled it for him.

The new bike felt great to ride.

While eating breakfast at a small roadside shop, Yu Zhiming was scrolling through his phone and came across a piece of news that put him in a good mood.

Someone had leaked the inside story of how Professor Wen Keming from Jingda Medical School had rejected Yu Zhiming, who had placed first in the preliminary exam, in favor of admitting the next two candidates.

Those two had close ties to Professor Wen.

One was the son of his ex-wife’s brother, and the other was the child of his university roommate.

If this leak was true, then Jingda Medical School wouldn’t be able to clear its name even if it jumped into the Yellow River.

Yu Zhiming guessed that the exposé was, in all likelihood, true.

After all, four years had passed. The chances of the two students’ private relationship with Professor Wen being inadvertently revealed were very high.

Who would have thought that after four years, this guy Yu Zhiming would suddenly become famous and dig up old dirt!

This leak also turned the investigative notice released by Jingda Medical School yesterday into a huge joke for netizens...

In a wonderful mood, Yu Zhiming arrived at Huashan Hospital before 7:30 AM to start his day’s work.

Since he was riding his own bicycle, he could ride it into the hospital and park it in the electric bike shed...

Around 3 PM, the kidney transplant patient and their family, who had been referred by Dean Wu from the county, arrived at Huashan Hospital.

They even brought Yu Zhiming gifts from their hometown, such as braised pig’s head meat made by Dean Wu himself, large sesame seed cakes, free-range eggs, millet, and peanuts.

The braised pig’s head meat and large sesame seed cakes were spotted by Qi Yue, who unceremoniously confiscated all of them...

As the end of the workday approached, Yu Zhiming welcomed an anticipated, yet surprising visitor.

It was Gao Yun, a classmate from the same year but a different class in university, who had been hailed by many of the male students as the number one beauty of the medical school.

Dressed in a professional skirt suit, with long, wavy, light-red hair and delicate, light makeup, Gao Yun had traded the fresh-faced, natural beauty of her university days for a mature and charming allure, tinged with a subtle, almost imperceptible seductiveness.

This made Yu Zhiming’s heart stir.

During those long-gone but memorable university years, Gao Yun had been a central topic of many late-night dorm room talks among the guys.

She was the dream girlfriend and fantasy object for many male students.

As a young man full of vigor back then, Yu Zhiming had also fantasized about Gao Yun a few times himself...

But to be honest, Yu Zhiming and Gao Yun hadn’t been close in university; they barely interacted with each other.

Their acquaintance was limited to exchanging a few words during large lectures or labs, and nodding when they passed each other.

But now, years later, reuniting with Gao Yun in Binhai, a thousand miles away, gave Yu Zhiming that warm feeling of meeting an old friend in a new place.

It was as if his wonderful university days were replaying before his eyes...

Gao Yun hadn’t come alone; she brought a friend named Liu Xuan.

While her friend wasn’t quite as beautiful as her, she possessed a set of world-class assets that were even more eye-catching to men.

Their dazzling, precarious state made even Yu Zhiming feel a sympathetic sway and a sense of concern.

Liu Xuan wore a sexy, off-the-shoulder, hip-hugging long dress. On her shoulders, clear straps dug in, leaving visible indentation marks.

It made one involuntarily worry whether those straps would snap under the strain at any moment...

"Yu Zhiming, Dr. Yu, I really didn’t expect..."

Gao Yun’s face was full of emotion. "After four years of obscurity, you became famous overnight and are now a renowned doctor at the prestigious Huashan Hospital."

"If I had known back then, I would have shamelessly and desperately chased after you."

Yu Zhiming laughed happily. "It’s not too late to start chasing me now. I’m still single."

Gao Yun shot Yu Zhiming a coquettish glance. "Dr. Yu, stop teasing me."

"Times have changed. I’m not good enough for you anymore. I’m self-aware enough to know that."

"Sigh, Dr. Yu..."

Gao Yun then changed the subject. "You don’t have any plans tonight, do you?"

"It’s not often old classmates like us get to meet. We definitely have to get together."

"I’ll make the arrangements..."

Since a friend had come from afar and he had no plans for the evening, Yu Zhiming naturally agreed to the get-together.

Gao Yun chose the meeting place.

It was a Hunan restaurant called Xiangxiang Pavilion, not far from Huashan Hospital, with rather upscale decor.

The private room Gao Yun picked was very large. Not only could it seat ten people, but it also had a lounge area and a private restroom.

Yu Zhiming felt it was a waste. For just the three of them, they could have chosen a small private room or even eaten in the main dining hall.

Gao Yun’s slender, fair hand pressed Yu Zhiming down into his seat.

"Zhiming, before I came, I mentioned I was going to see you to strengthen our old classmate friendship, and my manager approved an entertainment expense with a wave of his pen."

"So, just relax and enjoy yourself. We can have a good talk and catch up..."

The Hunan cuisine had both spicy and non-spicy dishes. With a good mix, Yu Zhiming found the meal very comfortable.

He stuck to his principle of not touching a drop of alcohol, clinking glasses with Gao Yun and Liu Xuan from time to time, using tea instead of wine.

Of course, conversation was also a main focus.

Gao Yun and Yu Zhiming recounted their life paths after graduation and also talked about the current situations of some of their mutual university acquaintances.

The atmosphere of the reunion was harmonious and friendly.

After they had eaten their fill, Gao Yun pointed to Liu Xuan beside her and said, "Zhiming, there’s a reason she came with me."

"Her..."

Gao Yun pointed to Liu Xuan’s left breast and continued, "There are some small lumps. She’s been to the hospital to have it checked."

"The doctor said it’s just breast hyperplasia and nothing to worry about. They said to come back for a more detailed examination if it continues to grow."

Liu Xuan took over, saying with a worried expression, "Dr. Yu, I keep feeling like the lumps inside have gotten bigger."

"I’m so worried and scared."

"Gao Yun said you were university classmates and that she was coming to see you, and that your medical skills are extraordinary, Dr. Yu..."

Liu Xuan said earnestly, "Dr. Yu, could you please examine me? I need to know if it’s just a common lump from hyperplasia or if it’s... breast cancer."

"Dr. Yu, I’m really worried."

Yu Zhiming met her pleading gaze and said, "Alright, Liu Xuan, come find me directly at the Qi Yue Medical Research Center at the hospital tomorrow before 8:30 AM."

"Ah, do I have to wait until tomorrow?"

Liu Xuan asked, confused, "Dr. Yu, doesn’t everyone say your examinations only require your hands?"

"Do you need other medical instruments or equipment?"

"Can’t you check... tonight, here?"

’Here?!’

Yu Zhiming glanced at the private room’s surroundings and said hesitantly, "Doing a breast exam here... wouldn’t be very appropriate, would it?"

Gao Yun let out a snort of laughter. "Zhiming, what are you worried about? I studied medicine, and Liu Xuan did too."

"If we don’t mind, why are you getting all shy?"

"Or are you saying that once you leave the hospital, your medical skills suddenly disappear and you can’t treat people anymore, Dr. Yu?"

Then, before Yu Zhiming could respond, Gao Yun made the decision for him. "Liu Xuan, be proactive. Go on and get into position."

With a crisp "Okay!", Liu Xuan ran to the lounge area and lay down on the sofa. Not shy in the slightest, she undid the restraints of her top in a few swift moves.

Seeing this, Yu Zhiming felt he could no longer refuse.

He took a spare pair of surgical rubber gloves from his briefcase, put them on, and walked over to the lounge area.

If Yu Zhiming’s heart had felt a few ripples before, the moment he put on the surgical gloves, it was as if a switch had been flipped. All inappropriate thoughts vanished.

At this moment, he was a doctor.

He began the examination very naturally, checking her carefully...

Time passed slowly as Yu Zhiming focused on the examination, until a loud BANG interrupted him.

Yu Zhiming whipped his head around to see the private room’s door being thrown open by a staggering man.

"What are you doing?"

Following the man’s shout, a crowd of seven or eight more people barged into the room.

Immediately after, Liu Xuan let out a cry, covered herself with her hands, scrambled up, and ran behind Gao Yun.

A moment later, the sound of aggrieved sobbing began.

"He’s the famous Dr. Yu Zhiming from Huashan Hospital! He said I might have breast cancer and insisted on examining me."

"But... but... he went too far! Waaah..."

Hearing what Liu Xuan said and seeing so many people burst into the room, even someone as slow as Yu Zhiming would have understood what was happening.

’Son of a bitch, I walked right into their trap...’
