"One tree, two trees, three trees..."
Luckily, it was seven trees, not eight. Li Xiaozhi wasn't in there. ( )
Only then did Lu Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
But what on earth was going on? Where was he? This was too absurd!
Lu Chen gritted his teeth, feeling he had never been so absurd before. He'd only ever slept with two women at most before, but now… seven? He checked himself, thankfully, these were just innocent encounters, not the kind of incestuous relationship.
He guessed everyone was exhausted after arriving last night, so they just took off their clothes and went to sleep.
But who helped him take off his clothes? So ruthless! Not even leaving him underwear!
Lu Chen quickly jumped off the bed and actually found his clothes in the dryer.
The person who took off his clothes was quite thoughtful; they even washed them after taking them off, and dried them after washing.
However, the clothes still smelled of alcohol, suggesting they hadn't been washed much; perhaps they'd just been tossed into a basin, stomped on, wrung out, and then put in the dryer.
Anyway, it was better than nothing.
Lu Chen took a shower and then got dressed. Coming out of the bathroom, he saw the seven girls still fast asleep. They'd all drunk quite a bit last night.
Seven beautiful girls, practically naked, and especially since... well, you could do whatever you wanted with them. Under these circumstances, how much willpower did Lu Chen need to suppress his urges?
In the end, he couldn't resist going to the bedside and roughly squeezing and kneading Nie Rong's soft, white buttocks as she slept, finding it very pleasant.
He knew Nie Rong better, making it easier to do so.
Then, Lu Chen quietly slipped out.
It turned out to be a small villa, surrounded by flowers, grass, and a small pond—a very beautiful place. The morning sun shone brightly on the flowers and plants, creating a pleasant ambiance.
Stepping outside, Lu Chen discovered he was in a villa district, considered mid-to-high-end, with perhaps two or three hundred villas of varying sizes. He guessed this particular villa was bought by Yang Jiangyu specifically for these "mermaids."
Lu Chen stretched and whistled happily as he walked away.
He had once again escaped an irresistible temptation, filling him with a sense of pride. Lu Chen found his self-control had improved; if he were still the wealthy young master he once was, he would have pounced on so many vibrant, naked beauties.
Lu Chen first went to the First Hospital. Just as he entered the lobby, he saw a familiar figure flash by.
That figure, plump and chubby, had been walking towards the main entrance, but upon seeing Lu Chen, he seemed to see a ghost. He quickly turned and darted into a side corridor.
Lu Chen scratched his head, smiled inwardly, ignored him, and went to find Gong Jiu.
Entering the ward, he saw Gong Jiu still fast asleep, a smile even on his face. A young woman was also asleep, leaning against the edge of the bed. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, Lu Chen recognized her figure as Su Qing.
The two women's hands were still tightly clasped together.
It seemed they had reconciled.
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps, this was the best outcome for Gong Jiu.
He didn't disturb the two of them, turned and left, and then saw Gong Xiaoyi.
Gong Xiaoyi's face was sour. Seeing Lu Chen, she complained that the stinky woman was back, that she had pushed her brother back in the middle of the night, and it was already the next morning, and she still hadn't left, still loitering there.
She was still dragging a large broom in her hand, and said angrily, "I'm going to chase her out with this broom! Humph, she made my brother suffer so much, and then she became the lover of my brother's enemy! What a slut! I've thought about it carefully for a while, but I still can't calm down. I'm going to get rid of her!"
As she spoke, she was about to rush in, but Lu Chen grabbed her wrist.
Lu Chen quickly snatched the broom from her hands, set it aside, and placed his hands on her shoulders, saying earnestly, "Xiao Yi, you've grown up, you understand things a bit! Many things in this world involve separation and reunion, many people come together and then drift apart. But as long as there are true lovers, no matter what, they will stay together."
He pointed inside and continued, "I just went in and saw how sweet it is! Your brother likes it this way, so let him be happy! Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The most important thing is that one person is willing to turn back, and the other is willing to accept them again. That's enough, right? Happiness is about not worrying about so many things!"
He spoke with great earnestness.
Gong Xiao Yi listened, and looking into Lu Chen's earnest eyes, almost mesmerized, which made Lu Chen a little uneasy. Damn, did I say something too good?
It seems I really did.
Gong Xiaoyi commented, "Brother Chen, you spoke so well! In my heart, you're not just a great hero, but also a philosopher. I admire you very much."
Gong Xiaoyi's gaze made Lu Chen's scalp tingle. He said, "Uh, thank you for the appreciation."
"Brother Chen, I have something else to tell you," Gong Xiaoyi said earnestly.
Lu Chen felt increasingly uneasy. The supernatural ability within him, called the "Fortune Teller," seemed to be giving him a warning. He couldn't listen any longer! He quickly said, "Oh, right, I have something to do. I need to go see that Dean Xu!"
As he spoke, he was about to turn his head, but Gong Xiaoyi swiftly grabbed him.
Then, like a fledgling nestled in his arms, Gong Xiaoyi suddenly threw herself into Lu Chen's embrace, her two warm little pigeons nestling gently against his chest.
Gong Xiaoyi said softly, "Brother Chen, I want to tell you now, I...I like you, I love you! Wait for me for a few years, and I'll be your wife, okay?"
Lu Chen's head buzzed. He quickly pushed Gong Xiaoyi away and said seriously, "Xiaoyi, you're still young! You're still in your second year of high school, your thinking isn't mature enough. When you go to university, you'll meet a better man!"
"No, no! Never again! I believe, Brother Chen is the best man I've ever met!"
Gong Xiaoyi said very earnestly, "Brother Chen, I must cherish my happiness! I'm afraid if I don't say it soon, Sister Luo will steal you away! You just said that happiness is about not caring about so many things! So, I won't care about anything, and you shouldn't care either. Let's enjoy happiness together, okay?"
She was still acting like a little girl!
As she spoke, she tried to snuggle into Lu Chen's arms again.
Lu Chen was terrified. He looked up and saw Xu Jiaqi emerging from a ward. He quickly shouted, "Dean Xu, Dean Xu, wait! I need to talk to you!"
With that, he ignored Gong Xiaoyi and rushed over.
Right now, the beautiful vice-dean was his savior!
Gong Xiaoyi stared blankly as Lu Chen ran away, her heart broken, tears streaming down her face. She gritted her teeth and muttered, "Brother Chen, I will never give up, because I truly love you! Okay, I'll think of a way to make it a fait accompli, and see what you do then!"
She said it with unwavering resolve.
At the same time, Lu Chen felt a chill run down his spine; he sensed a particularly dangerous atmosphere.
In the garden outside the hospital building, azaleas and morning glories were in full bloom, intertwined, the azaleas seemingly growing on the morning glories, and the morning glories seemingly growing on the azaleas.
It looked incredibly ambiguous.
A young man and a young woman walked side by side in the garden, looking quite intimate as well. The woman was wearing a white lab coat, and although it was loose-fitting, it couldn't hide her voluptuous figure.
That was Lu Chen and Xu Jiaqi.
Xu Jiaqi chuckled softly, "Does that girl like you? Looks like she's clinging to you!"
Lu Chen sighed, "Don't even mention it! Being too handsome isn't good either. Even a little girl is clinging to me. Sigh! If I were this charming, even the Jade Emperor would want to trade places with me, right?"
"I say, I don't see any charm in you, but I do see an incredibly thick skin!" Xu Jiaqi couldn't help but laugh.
"Really?" Lu Chen feigned surprise. "I've never thought of myself as thick-skinned. Try pinching it if you don't believe me!"
Xu Jiaqi stopped, stretching out her two delicate hands, and said reproachfully, "Is that so? Then let me pinch it!"
Lu Chen quickly moved his face closer, but he immediately regretted it, though it was too late. His handsome face was instantly captured by a pair of devilish claws.
Xu Jiaqi's hands looked soft and boneless, but when she started kneading Lu Chen's face, she was quite ruthless. It was like kneading dough, distorting Lu Chen's features.
"Ouch! My nose! You've rubbed my snot out! My ears! You...you're doing this! Why are you pulling my ears? Is this still pinching my face? It's clearly...you're just going to rub it until it's swollen! Ouch...it hurts so much!"
When Xu Jiaqi let go, Lu Chen's face was burning hot from being kneaded. He slapped his face, groaning, "My god! My face is cramping! Jiaqi, you hit me so hard!"
He slapped it a few more times; his nose was crooked and his eyes were slanted, the injury seemed quite serious.
Xu Jiaqi chuckled, her hands still slapping Lu Chen's face, and swayed as she walked forward. She said as she walked, "Your skin is really thick, at least thicker than my palm!"
Lu Chen grinned, "Really! Let's see how thick your palm is!"
With that, he lunged forward and immediately grabbed Xu Jiaqi's hand. This startled the beautiful vice-dean, who quickly tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't. In desperation, she used her other hand to slap Lu Chen's face.
That slap also resulted in Lu Chen grabbing her hand.
Not content with just grabbing it, Lu Chen twisted Xu Jiaqi's hands behind her back, pulling them both behind her back. This made the beautiful vice-dean's two breasts stand out even more, almost bursting out of her white coat.
"Hey, what are you doing? You brat!" Xu Jiaqi exclaimed, panting, her breasts swaying. And they were pressed tightly against Lu Chen's chest. In that position, Lu Chen felt like he was holding her.
Lu Chen stared at her, then said with a touch of infatuation, "Sister Jiaqi, I really like you. How about a kiss?"
"Kiss my foot!" Xu Jiaqi retorted coquettishly, "Go kiss the little sister who's clinging to you!"
