Chapter 128: The Dean
Watching Qian Xiaoling cough nonstop, Liu Ergou finally couldn't take it anymore and roared impatiently.
"Shut up!"
"Stop crying! If you dare to cry again, don't blame me for getting rough!"
As he spoke, Liu Ergou even feigned taking off his shirt.
However, what he hadn't expected was that Qian Xiaoling immediately stopped crying at his words, looking at him with a pitiful gaze. This left Liu Ergou feeling helpless once again.
Looking at the pathetic Qian Xiaoling, Liu Ergou grabbed the unconscious bald man on the floor and began to explain.
"We agreed to have dinner tonight, right? I waited for a long time, but you never showed up, so I thought I'd come see what happened to you!"
"The moment I arrived, I saw this bald old man trying to take advantage of you. Do you understand now?"
With Liu Ergou's explanation, Qian Xiaoling finally understood and looked down at the bald man he was holding. Once she got a clear look, she couldn't help but exclaim.
"Ah! Director!"
Her use of the title "Director" made Liu Ergou raise an eyebrow.
"This is the director of this hospital?" he asked curiously.
Qian Xiaoling nodded.
"Yes, he is the director of this hospital!"
At this, an apologetic expression appeared on Qian Xiaoling's face.
"I'm sorry, I thought…"
She was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.
But Liu Ergou just waved his hand.
"It's alright, stop apologizing. If you still don't believe me, go check the surveillance footage!"
Saying this, Liu Ergou pointed to the camera on the ceiling. With that, he sat down on the couch and ignored her.
Embarrassment washed over Qian Xiaoling as she watched Liu Ergou sitting there. She couldn't believe she had misunderstood her savior. If it weren't for Liu Ergou, she might have lost her innocence by now. The more she thought about it, the guiltier she felt.
Finally, unable to bear the guilt, she approached Liu Ergou and whispered, "I'm sorry, Er Gou…"
Liu Ergou, however, simply waved his hand again.
"Forget it. It's not your fault. Anyone would be confused after waking up like that!"
Qian Xiaoling smiled awkwardly.
Liu Ergou, on the other hand, nudged the bald man on the floor with his foot and asked, "What about your director here? Are we just going to leave him?"
Qian Xiaoling looked at the director on the floor and nodded.
"Just leave him here. Hmph, he's getting off easy. I should have called the police and had him arrested!"
"But…" Qian Xiaoling trailed off without finishing her thought. Instead, she took off her white coat, changed her clothes, and left with Liu Ergou to have dinner.
The two returned to the restaurant and ordered a feast. After their hearty meal, Liu Ergou escorted Qian Xiaoling back to her dormitory before heading back to rest himself.
It must have been late when he returned, as the entire villa was completely silent. Liu Ergou didn't think much of it and went straight to his room to sleep.
「The next morning.」
Fu Yan, perhaps too busy with work, didn't call everyone for breakfast and had already left early by himself. Fu Ya and Zhang Yuehong also left early, presumably for work. Now, Liu Ergou was the only one left in the villa.
He sat alone on the sofa, boredly watching television. After sitting there for a good while, Liu Ergou finally made a decision.
Rather than sit here bored, I might as well go out and find some fun.
As for who to find, was there even a question? Besides Qian Xiaoling, who else was there?
So, Liu Ergou cheerfully trotted off to the hospital again.
However, Qian Xiaoling was too busy to pay him any mind today. They only exchanged a few words, agreeing to have dinner together that evening before going their separate ways.
Afterward, Liu Ergou began to wander around town. Although he had been to town many times, his visits were limited to the street selling herbal medicine and Fu Yan's house. He had never explored anywhere else.
「Just like that, the afternoon slipped away.」
「Evening arrived.」
Figuring it was about time, Liu Ergou headed straight for the hospital.
Upon arrival, he navigated his way to the break room with ease, but he found the room empty. Qian Xiaoling was nowhere to be seen. This left him completely bewildered.
Didn't we agree she'd wait for me in the break room? Could something have happened to her again?
He shook his head as the thought crossed his mind.
Another accident? How could that be? Surely it couldn't be the bald Director's doing again?
But on second thought, it suddenly seemed entirely possible. Worried about Qian Xiaoling, Liu Ergou thought for a moment before heading straight for the Director's office.
If the Director really had made another move on her, his office would be the perfect place. No one would dare enter without permission.
Soon, Liu Ergou arrived at the door to the Director's office.
Just as he reached the door, he heard a series of rapid pants coming from inside. Listening closely, he immediately recognized the voice—it was Qian Xiaoling!
Why would she be making sounds like that? The only ones who sound like that are...
A cold sweat broke out on Liu Ergou's brow at the thought.
Looks like the Director really did target her, and this time, he drugged her.
While Liu Ergou was piecing things together, the panting from inside grew more and more urgent. It was followed by a man's sleazy laughter.
"Hehehe, my little darling, how I've missed you!"
"I don't know what happened last night, I just passed out in a daze. But I won't fall asleep tonight. I must have you!"
This sleazy voice belonged to the Director, of course.
Then, Qian Xiaoling's weak voice could be heard.
"You… stay away! If you dare touch me, I won't let you get away with this!"
Although her words were defiant, her intermittent panting betrayed her true condition. Under the effects of the aphrodisiac, Qian Xiaoling's consciousness was fading bit by bit, the last shred of it about to vanish completely.
Seeing this, the Director's laughter grew even more excited. He eagerly tore off his shirt and trousers.
