CHAPTER 332: 330, YOU SHOULD RESTRAIN YOURSELVES! STOP MESSING AROUND!

Meanwhile, at another registration desk, Luofeng detailed how Qin Rubing got injured.

After listening, the nurse replied, "Given the situation, you should register for the sports medicine department. A regular consultation is five bucks, a department head costs twenty bucks, and a specialist’s fee is fifty yuan—see which one you’d like to choose."

Luofeng seemed oddly insistent as he asked, "Which one? Is the doctor a woman?"

Hearing Luofeng’s question, the nurse couldn’t help but smile. "The specialist’s appointment is with Professor Duan Ying—an esteemed sports medicine expert nationally, who’s also served as a medical consultant for the provincial badminton team."

"Okay, then let’s go with the specialist appointment," Luofeng replied.

After paying the specialist’s fee, Luofeng, holding the registration slip, quickly returned to where Duanmu Yunji and Qin Rubing were waiting.

Qin Rubing was the first to speak. "I forgot to tell you just now, there’s a sports medicine expert here, Duan Ying. Luo the Immortal, could you please rebook?"

"That’s who I’ve booked with," responded Luofeng.

Qin Rubing looked slightly taken aback.

Is this about my best friend’s boyfriend? Telepathy? What should I do?

Duanmu Yunji asked from the side, "How did you know to choose that one?"

"I asked, explained the situation, and the nurse suggested sports medicine. Then I went straight for the most expensive specialist. What’s there to consider?" said Luofeng.

Indeed, that logic was very much Luofeng’s style. Considering his way of doing things, booking the most expensive option truly seemed to be no problem at all.

Luofeng picked Qin Rubing up again. The sports medicine department was on the fourth floor.

The trio quickly took the elevator to the fourth floor. Qin Rubing directed the way.

They arrived at the corridor for the sports medicine department and sat on the chairs outside, waiting.

After about fifteen minutes, it was finally their turn for the appointment.

Luofeng then carried Qin Rubing into the consultation room. Inside, Luofeng set Qin Rubing down on the examination bed.

Professor Duan Ying looked to be in her forties, and she recognized Qin Rubing. After all, a girl like Qin Rubing, who could have walked straight out of an anime, was an unforgettable sight even for women.

"It’s you again, huh? What’s it this time? Another ligament strain?" Professor Duan Ying asked.

Qin Rubing nodded. "Yes, I was practicing today and I overdid a move, straining the ligament in my left leg. Professor Duan, how severe does this look to you?"

Professor Duan Ying immediately started examining her, then said, "From a preliminary look, the situation seems quite severe. I told you last time, your ligament hadn’t fully recovered, and you shouldn’t do high-intensity practice."

Qin Rubing replied somewhat helplessly, "I’ve recently been vying for an opportunity..."

"And so this problem arose?" Duan Ying sighed. "You young people really don’t know how to take care of yourselves. Alright, I’ll arrange a recovery plan for you; actually, the most important thing is rest, especially not putting any strain on your left leg!"

At this point, Duan Ying glanced at Luofeng. "Young man, you’ll need to take extra care of her in the coming days. And both of you need to restrain yourselves—her left leg can’t withstand any more strain. It would be best for her to use crutches for at least a month to take the weight off when walking!"

But Duan Ying felt her words would likely fall on deaf ears. With a physique and beauty like Qin Rubing’s, and such a young man... Restraint? Nonexistent!

Luofeng’s face was full of question marks.

This doctor... Has she misunderstood something? Me, straining Qin Rubing? Duanmu Yunji, the Capital City Great Cat, would probably bite my head off, right?

But it was natural for the doctor to misunderstand; after all, Luofeng had carried Qin Rubing in. If they weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend, who would do such a thing?

Qin Rubing’s face turned slightly red. She didn’t explain and instead just nodded. "Alright, Professor Duan."

"Your current condition is an injury on top of a previous one. If you intend to continue dance practice later, you must rest completely before doing so," Duan Ying cautioned. "Based on my experience, you need at least two months of rest. It would be best for you to come back for a follow-up with me to assess the specific situation before deciding what to do next."

"Young man, remember to bring her back for a check-up in two months!" Professor Duan said.

"Oh, okay."

What else could Luofeng do at this time but nod? Slowly explain things to Professor Duan? He couldn’t; there were other patients waiting.

"I’ll prescribe you some spray. Use it three times a day, and after two days, you can gently massage the area when you apply the medicine. After half a month, you can start applying heat," Professor Duan instructed.

"Alright, Professor, I’ve got it," Luofeng responded.

Meanwhile, Qin Rubing just quietly watched Luofeng.

Luckily, Duanmu Yunji didn’t come in. If she had, Luofeng would be in agony right now, wouldn’t he?

A moment later, Duan Ying handed a prescription slip to Luofeng. "Go directly to the payment counter, pay the fee, and then pick up the medicine from the pharmacy. Oh, and young man, you did well just now. Right now, it’s best not to let her put weight on her left foot, at least not for 48 hours. She should use crutches before trying to walk on it."

"Oh, no problem," said Luofeng, as he picked up Qin Rubing again.

The two left the consultation room.

Outside, Duanmu Yunji was waiting. "What did the doctor say?"

First, Luofeng set Qin Rubing down on a chair in the waiting area. "You two discuss the situation. I’m going upstairs to make the payment and pick up the medicine."

"Mhm, mhm!" Duanmu Yunji nodded.

It was only after Luofeng left that she continued, "Rubing, what exactly did the doctor say?"

Qin Rubing sighed and passed her mobile phone to Duanmu Yunji, which surprisingly contained a recording. Everything the doctor had said had been recorded.

Meanwhile, Luofeng quickly took the elevator downstairs. He was now at the payment counter.

After taking care of the payment, he found the pharmacy. All the medications were sprays.

The total cost was 460 yuan. Overall, the charges were quite reasonable. At least there was no forceful upselling of crutches.

Back on the fourth floor, in the sports medicine department, Duanmu Yunji quickly listened to the recording. "Is it really that serious?"

Qin Rubing nodded. "I didn’t think it was serious."

"So what are you planning to do?" inquired Duanmu Yunji.

"I plan to go home. With more than two months of rest needed, and my left leg unable to bear weight, staying at school would be rather troublesome," replied Qin Rubing.

After all, just getting up and down the bunk bed would be strenuous, right? Hopping up on one leg?

"But...." Duanmu Yunji hesitated. "Then... if you go back, wouldn’t your father be in a difficult position?"

Qin Rubing sighed. "What can be done even if it’s difficult for him? I have no choice but to go back."

Qin Rubing’s family situation was quite complicated. Her father had remarried, and his new wife had a daughter, too. Both her stepmother and stepsister harbored hostility towards Qin Rubing.

Her father, Qin Haiyang, indeed found it very tough. Qin Rubing was his daughter, but the daughter born to her stepmother was also his child. He loved them both equally.

Knowing Qin Rubing’s family situation, Duanmu Yunji thought for a moment. "Going back like this, won’t your stepmother make sarcastic remarks? Purposefully make life difficult for you?"

"Especially your half-sister, she has a nasty temper. I think you shouldn’t go back," Duanmu Yunji continued. "How about you come to my place instead?"
