Chapter 173: 142 Lu Han: Looking for a boyfriend in the wrong place… (2nd update)_1 Chapter 173: 142 Lu Han: Looking for a boyfriend in the wrong place… (2nd update)_1 Tang Su accompanied Zhao Xinlan on a shopping spree for a full set of skincare treatments, spending money happily, while Lu Han was in his office, earnestly and sincerely helping patients alleviate their pain.

It was always difficult to get an appointment with Dr. Lu, who granted no special privileges. All appointments were released on the day, half online and half reserved by the hospital.

There were at least 50 slots available each day, with adjustments made according to the situation.

As long as a patient secured an appointment for that day, Dr. Lu would make sure to see them through. If, by any chance, he couldn’t finish the consultations, he’d arrange for the patients to come back first thing the next morning without needing to book another appointment.

Dr. Lu’s appointment slots were already scarce, but some people went out of their way to book an appointment with him and then feigned illness, just to get close to Dr. Lu.

Once Dr. Lu caught on, he would speak to them so directly that they ended up crying.

Unless they were genuinely ill, they dared not come back.

After the word spread, many labels were attached to Dr. Lu: a difficult high ground to reach, a big chunk of ice, unromantic, to name a few.

Yet the young nurses admired the chaste and upright Dr. Lu even more.

The nurses at the front desks of each department worked on a rotation system, not fixed to one position.

All those who were fans of Dr. Lu aspired to work at the consultation desk on the second floor, but not every nurse could have their wish granted.

As soon as the monthly schedule was out, whoever got assigned to the second floor became the brightest star in the nurses’ fan group; they would be surrounded by others every day, eager to hear the latest gossip about Dr. Lu.

The gossip about Dr. Lu making a female patient cry mainly spread from this circle of nurse fans and eventually made its way throughout the entire hospital.

Today, yet another bold young girl came under the guise of having rhinitis to get close to Dr. Lu.

After checking three times and confirming that the young girl’s nose had no issues, he didn’t prescribe any medication. Her eyes shining brightly, she made her admiration for Dr. Lu glaringly obvious.

“Aren’t you going to prescribe some medicine, Dr. Lu?” the young girl asked softly.

“No need, just go back and drink more hot water. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can open up a hot water bottle and use the steam to help,” Dr. Lu recommended.

The young girl’s family must have been very well off; she seemed to have never used a hot water bottle in her life.

“A hot water bottle? What’s that?” she asked innocently.

“Find out what it is from your family. I don’t need to prescribe anything for you, you can leave,” Dr. Lu said, having never seen this girl before and intending to give her a pass this one time.

It was best just to persuade the young girl to leave.

She looked to be about the same age as Tang Su.

“Then I’ll do as you say, go back and drink hot water. If I’m not better, I’ll come back tomorrow, okay?” the girl reluctantly looked at Dr. Lu as she backed towards the door, holding her medical record, “Dr. Lu, goodbye.”

Dr. Lu: “…If you really want to fake an illness, at least make it believable, like taking a cold shower when you get home today. Then you can go straight to our hospital’s emergency room.”

“You’re an adult, right? If you’re looking to find a boyfriend, you’re in the wrong place. Here, I am a doctor, and I only take responsibility for my patients. Fake patients will only annoy me. Understand?”

The girl had not expected Dr. Lu to speak so bluntly, which was completely different from the time when she brought her brother in to remove a fishbone.

Last time, Dr. Lu was exceedingly gentle with both her and her little brother.

She had thought about him all year long. Last year she was nineteen, and this year she turned twenty. After mustering all her courage and coming up with many strategies, she still believed that posing as a patient was the best way to get close to Dr. Lu.

When she entered earlier, Dr. Lu looked at her as if she were a stranger, and she realized he didn’t remember her at all.

Yet, throughout the year, she couldn’t stop dreaming about him.

She knew he was cold, but also that he was wonderfully kind to patients. She thought that if only he would agree to be her boyfriend, she would be the happiest girl in the world.

But—

She truly hadn’t expected that under the circumstance of her not being a female patient, Dr. Lu would be…

So cold. After all, she was only twenty, a little sister in need of care, right?

The young girl’s tears immediately started falling like raindrops as Lu Han spoke.

“Lu Han, I like you. I really couldn’t think of any other way, so I just… waaaah…”

She couldn’t continue, and, acting on impulse, she threw her appointment card and medical record onto the floor and ran away with her face covered.

Lu Han didn’t chase after her.

He was very indifferent. Before pressing the next play button, he picked up the appointment card and medical record from the floor and placed them on a cabinet to the side.

He called for the next patient.

The young girl hadn’t even left the corridor before she heard that Lu Han’s office was already calling for the next patient, which made her cry even more.

And as she was angrily leaving Lu Han’s office, the guide nurse happened to be the one who had seen other suitors pretending to be female patients to approach their idol, Doctor Lu, only to be scolded and run out crying.

She quickly captured a blurry snapshot of the young girl running away, without getting a clear shot of her face.

Then she posted it in the group chat, with the caption, “Another one came today, what number is this for the year?”

Someone quickly replied, “4, 5, or 6?”

“Anyway, it’s been quite a few.”

“Hey, Doctor Lu is really so cool. What did the girl look like today?”

“Very pretty.”

“Doctor Jiang is so beautiful, and she hasn’t managed to win over our Doctor Lu. What kind of girl, do you think, will be able to capture our idol in the future?”

This was the nurse’s chat group, and none of the doctors were added, so everyone freely gossiped about Jiang Shanshan without worry, trusting all nurses in the group.

After all, it was just gossip, and even if it spread, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

It wasn’t like they were speaking ill of anyone.

“That day, Doctor Lu was quite gentle with his sister receiving an IV in internal medicine. I think if he had a girlfriend in the future, he’d definitely be even more gentle.”

“Anyway, you and I definitely won’t have that luck.”

“Surely not, but that won’t stop us from enjoying the drama between Doctor Lu and Doctor Jiang.”

“Hey, do you guys think Doctor Jiang has confessed to Doctor Lu yet?”

“Don’t know, who’d dare to ask.”

“Anyway, let’s place a bet. If Doctor Jiang confesses to Doctor Lu, do you think he will accept her or reject her?”

“Reject.”

“Accept.”

“Reject +1.”

“Reject +2.”

“Off topic, but honestly speaking, even though Doctor Jiang is the beauty of our hospital, she really doesn’t look as good as Doctor Lu’s sister. I feel like Doctor Lu prefers someone like his sister.”

“Back on topic, reject +3.”

“…”

“Reject +10086.”

Somehow, as they spoke, the group’s animosity towards Jiang Shanshan grew stronger and only subsided after a long while.

And the second person who initially said “accept” eventually joined the ranks of the “rejects.”
