“Sir, the surgery was successful, and you are now a girl.”
This was the first sentence Lin Yu heard when he opened his eyes, and it felt like a thunderbolt had struck him.
“Haha... Just kidding!” A nurse chuckled, her smile not particularly pretty but not ugly either. Otherwise, Lin Yu might have thought he had seen a demon.
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He had feared that he had lost his manhood. For a man... if that part of him was gone, it would be the ultimate horror!
If he had become a woman, he would have rather died!
Even though he was now a "lone testicle warrior," it was still better than being a "no-ball superhero."
“Mr. Lin, but one of your testicles has completely necrotized, and we had to remove it. The function of the other one is also deteriorating, and the chances of recovery are very slim. We recommend you consider sperm preservation while you’re still young... think about future in vitro fertilization.”
The nurse's words made Lin Yu's head spin.
What did that mean?
Would he be unable to have children in the future?
However, he keenly caught a key phrase from the nurse's words!
The function of the other testicle is deteriorating... so there’s still a chance to save it?
Lin Yu immediately regained his confidence.
Who was he?
He was the heir to the Ghost Doctor lineage, with unparalleled mastery of traditional Chinese medicine!
As long as his testicle wasn’t completely wrecked, he had the ability to save it.
“Sir...”
“No need to say more. I can heal myself,” Lin Yu waved his hand confidently, already pondering which Chinese herbal remedies he should prepare to nourish his body.
The nurse sighed, feeling a bit helpless.
“Sir, when will you settle your hospital bills? Your surgery and hospitalization fees total 110,000 yuan.”
Lin Yu was shocked. “110,000 yuan?”
“Yes, do you have medical insurance?”
“No... I don’t!”
“Then when will you pay?” the nurse asked.
Lin Yu panicked and began rummaging through his belongings, eventually finding a bank card.
This was the money he had earned from fighting in underground boxing matches over the past few days.
He had fought nine matches and earned just over 6,000 yuan. He had been used as a pawn, and the suited man had promised him a big payoff if he became a boxing champion.
He had believed it!
After exhausting himself, he had only earned 6,000 yuan.
Even capitalists would cry at this.
“I... I only have this much money!” Lin Yu said, feeling quite embarrassed.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
“My skills in traditional Chinese medicine are very strong. I come from a family of imperial physicians, nine generations of them. I can serve as a consultant in your hospital. I may not have a medical license, but I truly have the ability.”
Lin Yu no longer boasted about being the heir to the Ghost Doctor lineage, as he knew no one would believe that. Claiming to be from a family of imperial physicians sounded more credible.
But clearly, no one believed him.
“Mr. Lin, you’re joking. You still owe the hospital nearly 100,000 yuan...”
Lin Yu felt utterly frustrated. What kind of hospital was this? All they cared about was money!
Just as Lin Yu was feeling depressed, a man in a suit approached with a calm smile.
“So, it’s just the medical fees? Brother, I’ll cover your medical bills.”
Lin Yu looked up at the well-dressed man, feeling a bit dazed.
But he nodded instinctively.
“Give me your phone.”
The man in the suit smiled, as if asking for Lin Yu’s trust.
Lin Yu handed over his phone, still feeling confused.
The man took the phone and quickly performed some actions.
Then he handed the phone back to Lin Yu with a smile. Lin Yu looked at the screen, still dazed.
150,000 yuan transferred?
“Where... where did this money come from?” Lin Yu’s voice trembled.
He had never seen so much money before!
The man in the suit nodded. “Brother, this is your reserve fund from ‘Fangsi Jie.’ You can withdraw it anytime you need money in the future.”
Then he patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and walked away, leaving no trace behind.
Lin Yu was left feeling bewildered. He had a sense that he had been tricked, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on why.
As a young herbalist fresh from the mountains, his impression of the city was still stuck in the era of black-and-white TVs. How could he have known about online loans?
But the sudden influx of 150,000 yuan made him incredibly happy.
“Nurse, pay the bill. I now have enough money!”
Lin Yu grinned, showing off his white teeth.
The nurse remained silent, feeling sympathy for this poor soul.
Lying in the hospital bed, unaware that he had just incurred 150,000 yuan in debt, and completely oblivious to it. She had heard about this particular online lending institution—it was notoriously ruthless. Despite the 150,000 yuan, the debt could double in a month. Wasn’t that terrifying?
......
Bai Jie couldn’t focus on her classes all morning. Jiang Che had started flirting with her?
This realization filled her with boundless joy. After all, Jiang Che had always had only Ye Mengyao in his heart, not even sparing her a glance.
Sometimes, just being able to sneak him a bottle of water while watching him play basketball would make her happy for days.
“Does Jiang Che like me too? But what about Ye Mengyao...”
“Could it be... Jiang Che wants to have his feet in two boats?”
This had completely exceeded her understanding. In her mind, Jiang Che should be the kind of person who was very devoted.
But she really wanted to have Jiang Che for herself.
“Bai Jie, Bai Jie, why are you so useless? You had the chance... and you blew it!”
The girl scolded herself, feeling frustrated.
......
When Jiang Che saw Ye Mengyao again, the girl had undergone a noticeable change.
It was as if she had shed her youthful innocence, and her style of dress had shifted toward the dark side.
He remembered that Ye Mengyao used to love wearing white or light yellow clothes, but now... she was dressed entirely in black!
Her once-ponytail was now let down, her long hair cascading down, giving her a look that straddled the line between youthful and mature.
“Mengyao sister, why are you dressed... so beautifully?”
Yu Wan'er felt that Ye Mengyao had changed somehow, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was.
Ye Mengyao smiled faintly and then leaned down to kiss Yu Wan'er’s cheek.
Although she had already gone dark, she still had a soft spot for this adorable little loli best friend.
After all, with Yu Wan'er's looks, she was the kind of girl who could charm both men and women. Who could resist a cute little loli?
Mengyao sister~ Where have you been these past few days? You scared me to death.
“Nothing, I just had a bit too much to drink at the banquet that day and had an alcohol allergy, so I took a few days off.”
Yu Wan'er nodded cutely.
You jerk Jiang Che, what did you say to Sister Mengyao? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have changed so much.
【You disgusting bastard, why don’t you just die!】
Yu Wan'er wasn’t stupid. She was quite clever, and she could tell the subtle changes in Ye Mengyao.
Her heart was filled with curses for Jiang Che’s perversion and villainy!
