The cameraman eagerly zoomed in upon seeing the girl's wound.
The girl was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans.
A steel needle was firmly embedded in her thigh. The exposed part of the needle had a small circle at the end, the purpose of which was unclear.
Su Bingbing looked at the small section of the steel needle and seemed to be pondering.
Was it just her imagination...
It seemed somewhat familiar?
—
Chen Mu put down the medical kit and examined the girl's wound.
Puzzled, he asked, "How did this happen? Does our school even have such steel needles?"
When Chen Mu asked, the girl glanced at the live camera behind him.
She silently used her hat to cover her face and said in a muffled voice, "I had no classes this afternoon, so I took a nap in my dorm. When I woke up, this thing was already on my leg..."
A steel needle?
It mysteriously appeared in the student's dorm before she went to sleep?
It was even thrown onto the dorm bed?
Isn't this threatening student safety?
Chen Mu's face turned serious: "Which apartment do you live in? I'll report this to the school and thoroughly investigate the entry and exit records of your dormitory building to see who could be so malicious!"
"If the school can't find out, we'll involve the police!"
"This weapon is evidence..."
The more Chen Mu spoke, the angrier he became, but he didn't notice that the girl's head was lowering more and more in front of him.
"Hahaha! Ladies, Dr. Chen really can't tell what this steel needle is!"
"He's already calling it a weapon; this might be the funniest thing this year, hahaha!!"
"Really? What's wrong with Dr. Chen's statement? This thing is indeed threatening students' personal safety!"
"Hahaha! The guys in the comments have no clue what this is; let me laugh for a moment..."
"..."
—
While checking the girl's wound, Chen Mu continued to remind her earnestly.
"Student, you must take my words to heart; this is a serious matter concerning your personal safety!"
Unable to listen anymore, Su Bingbing gently patted Chen Mu's shoulder.
Chen Mu turned around.
With a complicated expression, Su Bingbing pointed at the girl's wound: "Dr. Chen, I think I know whose steel needle that is..."
Chen Mu turned to look at Su Bingbing.
His mind was filled with question marks.
Su Bingbing had been filming by his side all day, how could she know who the real culprit was?
Chen Mu was still puzzled.
Then he saw Su Bingbing raise her graceful hand, unwaveringly pointing at the girl still sitting on the steps, with a subtle expression, "If I'm not mistaken, that steel needle should be hers..."
Chen Mu slightly frowned: "Reporter Su, this is a matter of student safety, we can't joke about it."
"She's not joking..."
"The steel needle is indeed mine..."
Upon hearing Chen Mu's doubtful voice, the girl sitting on the steps lifted her head and spoke.
"You put the steel needle on your own bed and hurt yourself?"
Even though Chen Mu had seen various strange cases during his two years as a school doctor at Hai City University, he couldn't comprehend this girl's behavior.
Under the live broadcast camera.
The girl silently covered her face.
Praying that no acquaintances would see her.
"Dr. Chen, this is called an acne needle..."
"It's what we girls use to squeeze pimples on our faces..."
The more the girl spoke, the more distressed she became, sighing continuously.
"In the morning, I was using it on my bed to pop a pimple, then I left it on the bedside casually and went to class."
"When I got back, I forgot about it, went straight to sleep, and then this happened..."
—
"Oh dear, I'm truly amazed!"
"Dr. Chen's dumbfounded look is too amusing! Hahaha!!!"
"Can someone compile a collection of bizarre student cases? I'd love to see it!"
"I was wondering why the previous comments were so mysterious; for a man, an acne needle really is something unfamiliar."
"Those with girlfriends have likely seen them, those who haven't must be single."
"Come on! It's just a variety show; why resort to personal attacks? What's wrong with being single! Does being single cost you anything? Woof, woof, woof!"
"It's okay, Dr. Chen doesn't recognize it either, he's also single, woof, woof, woof!!"
"..."
—
Chen Mu sighed.
He continued to ask, "Did you disinfect the acne needle after using it this morning?"
The girl shook her head.
Chen Mu sighed again, "Wait a moment..."
He didn't bother with the girl's wound and turned away from the camera to make a call.
The cameraman instinctively wanted to follow, but seeing the girl still sitting there, he stayed put.
He's guarding the temple!
Is he afraid the monk will run away?
—
A few minutes later.
Chen Mu returned with a middle-aged man who was smiling broadly.
The two of them chatted as they walked.
As they approached the camera.
"These young girls are getting more and more interesting; an acne needle can end up in her thigh, hahahaha!!!"
"If I weren't unskilled in medicine, I'd want to steal your job!"
"This job is so much fun, there's never a dull day!"
Chen Mu, with the laughing man, approached the group.
He introduced the girl.
"This is Driver He from the school hospital, the one who drives the school ambulance."
"Once I remove the needle, Driver He will take you to the nearby community hospital for a tetanus shot."
"Your acne needle wasn't disinfected, so there's a risk of infection. Without a tetanus shot, there's a small chance of serious complications."
The girl nodded obediently.
Only then did Chen Mu crouch down to treat her wound.
He first used scissors to cut a moderate-sized hole in the girl's jeans.
The hole exposed just the right amount, making it possible for her to later modify them into trendy ripped jeans.
First, he disinfected with iodine.
Then, from the medical toolkit, he took out pliers.
Chen Mu: "This might sting a bit, bear with it."
"Ahhh!!!"
The girl nodded just as Chen Mu quickly pulled the steel needle out of her thigh.
As the needle was removed.
The live audience could clearly see that nearly half of the acne needle had penetrated her thigh.
"Folks, it's suddenly incredible that this girl managed to walk from her dorm to the campus clinic."
"Although I'm a guy who doesn't use acne needles, I'm now checking my bed for any hidden dangers, scary..."
"Earlier, I figured she'd just pull it out herself, but seeing the length of it, I realize I was presumptuous."
"..."
—
The girl had just gotten into the school ambulance to be taken away.
Chen Mu yawned, intending to go back to play games.
The yawn was only halfway when suddenly.
Chen Mu stared unblinkingly in one direction.
What was going on?!
Did the students know he was filming a show, and, anxious about the lack of content, rush to provide him with more material???
