CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 72: SHOWCASE SKILLS (PART 1)

Xiao Lin left home at seven-thirty. It wasn’t because he was particularly industrious, but mainly because if he stayed at home, Xiao Lin didn’t feel he could maintain a calm demeanor with a beautiful woman in front of him all the time. Moreover, having never known the charm of a woman before, once he tasted the sweetness, seductive images would occasionally flash through his mind.

Seven-thirty was the time when students had finished breakfast and were preparing to go to the lecture halls for classes. The campus path was bustling with activity, especially with the freshmen dressed in military uniforms, forming a bright and lively scenery. Seeing these youthful faces made Xiao Lin feel a bit younger, but not in terms of appearance. In terms of looks, Xiao Lin actually appeared younger than some university students. Mainly, it was his mindset—though Xiao Lin was only twenty-four or twenty-five, his mentality seemed to have already reached the level of an uncle.

Near the sports field, there were some older teachers and staff members exercising. Yan University had three sports fields, and this one was the smallest and oldest, existing from the founding of the school to today. Later, since the classrooms and most student dormitories moved to the new campus, this field became the staff’s field.

Just beyond this field was the campus hospital. Xiao Lin leisurely admired the campus scenery, of course, also appreciating the college girls in their cool summer attire.

As Xiao Lin walked, he noticed a number of students nearby gradually gathering at a specific location. Xiao Lin was curious—what was so interesting early in the morning?

Thinking he had enough time, Xiao Lin thought it wouldn’t hurt to go and check out the excitement, so he walked towards the gathering crowd.

At the gathering spot, a half-gray-haired old gentleman dressed neatly in a Zhongshan suit was tightly clutching his chest, gasping for air, cold sweat streaming down his forehead. Several students who first arrived rushed to ask, "Sir, what’s wrong with you?"

"Medicine... medicine..." The old gentleman clutched his chest, gasping, as if saying even one word was the greatest effort.

The few college students were well-meaning, but had never seen such a scene before. Two timid ones were too frightened to step forward, and one even said quietly, "Xiao Hao, don’t get close to him. If something happens to this old gentleman, we can’t afford the responsibility!" However, seeing more and more students gathering, this student felt embarrassed to walk away.

The student named Xiao Hao did not listen and hurriedly asked, "Sir, where’s the medicine?" At this moment, the old gentleman could no longer speak, displaying a painful expression, breathing more rapidly, and the sweat on his forehead was increasing.

"Let’s take him to the campus hospital!" Some nearby students proposed.

"Campus hospital? You must be joking, dialing 120 would be faster. Besides, are the doctors at the campus hospital working now? That campus hospital doctor, forget it!" Other students refuted.

"Who said that? Our campus hospital got a skilled, handsome young doctor. Yesterday, he saved a girl who was jumping from the dormitory building. If it weren’t for the handsome doctor, that girl wouldn’t have made it until the ambulance arrived!"

"Even if you’re stating facts, it’s not work time yet, how can there be anyone at the campus hospital?" Another student seemed to have heard about the dormitory incident and didn’t refute, especially since this new handsome doctor became popular on the forum in these days.

None of those arguing took out their phone to call for emergency medical services, but a couple of students did pick up their phones and dialed 120.

Seeing that the old gentleman probably couldn’t say where the medicine was, Xiao Hao prepared to search the pockets when he barely touched the clothing, the old gentleman suddenly couldn’t catch his breath and collapsed right next to Xiao Hao.

Xiao Hao was taken aback and couldn’t separate from the old gentleman. At this moment, he remembered an incident in another city some time ago, where a young man helped an old lady who had fallen. Though he originally meant well, he ended up being blamed for it. It was even more shocking that the court ordered the good-hearted young man to compensate the old lady.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hao hurriedly said, "You all saw, right? This old gentleman probably had a sudden heart attack and fainted on his own. If anything happens to him, you need to testify for me!"

"Don’t worry, we all saw it. We’ll testify for you!"

"Brother Hao, we all saw it. If the old gentleman truly has an accident, we’ll come forward to testify for you!"

College students still have passion.

"Isn’t that the new handsome doctor? He’s walking towards us!" A girl noticed Xiao Lin leisurely walking toward them and hurriedly shouted.

Several people turned to look, and some recognized Xiao Lin. Although they hadn’t seen him in person, Xiao Lin’s photo had been circulating widely on the campus forum over the past few days, earning him the nickname Golden Needle Saint Hand. How could they not recognize him!

"Ah, it’s that new handsome doctor. Uh, what’s his surname again? Golden Needle Saint Hand? No, that’s the title we spontaneously gave him." The woman muttered to herself.

"Golden Needle Saint Hand Doctor, come quickly, there’s a patient here who might have had a heart attack and has already fainted!" Many students shouted to Xiao Lin from dozens of meters away, loud enough to attract a lot of students to look over there.

"Golden Needle Saint Hand? That familiar title... Ah, aren’t they calling me?" Xiao Lin suddenly realized, remembering that the night before, Liang Feng’s sisters mentioned how his name was all over the campus forum and he’d received that Golden Needle Saint Hand title.

"Heart attack?" Afterwards, Xiao Lin heard that there seemed to be a patient with a sudden heart attack there, apparently quite urgent. Xiao Lin immediately sprinted towards the scene.

At this time, Xiao Hao looked at the elderly gentleman whose breathing was growing weaker, possibly about to stop breathing in the next second, fear creeping in. Although the school taught CPR emergency knowledge, given that the old gentleman previously clutched his chest, it was likely a heart attack causing cardiac arrest. Faced with such a situation, Xiao Hao’s emergency knowledge was utterly useless.

"Ah, the old gentleman seems to have stopped breathing!" a girl shouted.

"Even if that handsome doctor rushes here, it’s already too late!" At this point, anyone could see the old gentleman lying on the ground had no chest movements, clearly having stopped breathing.

Xiao Hao sat helplessly on the ground, it’s all over!
