The Strongest Doctor

Li Xiaoqiang was very tired as he forced his eyelids open, and what he saw were familiar faces, Su Xiaoya, his dorm buddies, Director Xiao, Xia Ke'er, and several strangers.

A middle-aged man with a crew cut, wearing glasses, had a scar on his cheek, and his aura was that of someone who had been toughened by life's battles.

He was the Chief of Police, Wei Yinghe!

Wei Yinghe walked up to Li Xiaoqiang, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Young man, you've worked hard. I will announce your brave deed to the media. You'll definitely be recognized as the national outstanding college student this year. Moreover, Jinnan City will reward you with a bonus of one hundred thousand Yuan as compensation for your emotional distress."

Li Xiaoqiang smiled slightly and said, "If you really consider my feelings, please don't announce it. I don't want reporters interviewing me even while I'm sitting in the classroom."

Hearing this, Wei Yinghe laughed heartily, his laugh rich and mellow, like a century-old wine, certainly making him the top choice for any young girl with a crush on mature men.

Wei Yinghe nodded and replied, "Hehe, you're a good lad. Then, I won't announce it, but your heroic act will be recorded in the archives. Whether you pursue a career in politics, the military, or business in the future, it will be beneficial to you and not harmful at all."

Shortly after, the Chief of Police expressed his thanks to Li Xiaoqiang on behalf of the people in the district and then left.

For such a high-ranking official, countless issues demanded his brainpower, leaving him no time to casually chat with Li Xiaoqiang.

His dorm buddies wanted to stay and take care of Li Xiaoqiang, but they were stopped by Su Xiaoya, who, with a blush, insisted that since Li was injured because of her, it was rightfully her responsibility to care for him.

To the beasts in the dorm, this was good news; which of them hadn't fantasized about Su Xiaoya?

This represented the will of a bunch of great beasts; they were offering Su Xiaoya, the prized "cabbage," to Li Xiaoqiang with meaningful glances, leaving Li dumbfounded.

These animals, how could they think of their buddy in such a sordid way? He was pure, after all.

After everyone left one by one, Director Xiao looked at Li Xiaoqiang and said, "Xia, you and Su Xiaoya take care of Little Li together. He's too heavy for you to manage alone."

Li Xiaoqiang originally wanted to say he could move on his own, no big deal, but just as he moved, every wound on his body felt like it was sliced with a knife, causing him to feel numb all over.

Director Xiao said, "Little Li, don't be stubborn. Xia is here on behalf of our police station; it's the right thing to do."

Li Xiaoqiang thanked Director Xiao.

Director Xiao's full name was Xiao Yi, known for his calm and just manners, with fairness and discipline as his principles in handling cases.

In the following time, the two women took care of Li Xiaoqiang, bringing tea and cutting fruit for him, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

Li Xiaoqiang realized that these two girls each had a unique personality.

Xia Ke'er was the uniformed beauty with a look straight out of comic books, a cute personality, and occasionally a bit mischievous.

As for the newly acquainted Su Xiaoya, she felt somewhat aloof, almost unapproachable because she was too perfect, yet in critical moments, she displayed a tender and dependant charm.

This was his second day in the hospital. Li Xiaoqiang looked at the time; it was two o'clock in the morning. Seeing Xia Ke'er lying on the adjacent bed, he quietly got out of bed, needing to go to the restroom.

Tonight Su Xiaoya went back to school, obviously needing a change of clothes and a bath. Li Xiaoqiang slowly headed towards the bathroom.

Just as he reached the bathroom door, Xia Ke'er followed him. Holding Li Xiaoqiang's arm, Xia uttered in a delicate voice, "Aye, you should've told me when you were going to the restroom."

Li Xiaoqiang sheepishly replied, "Well, weren't you asleep?"

Xia Ke'er's cheeks turned pink as she said, "Hmph, the doctor told you not to use your hands for three days, so how are you supposed to pull down your pants?"

Li Xiaoqiang was embarrassed, feeling like burrowing into the ground. Here he was, a man of considerable stature needing a woman's help to use the restroom—how embarrassing would that be if word got out?

After finishing in the restroom, as Li Xiaoqiang was coming out, Xia Ke'er's sudden question stopped him in his tracks.

Xia Ke'er softly asked, "Do you like me?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaoqiang didn't know how to respond because after his breakup with Liu Lulu, he had gained a deeper understanding of relationships. A man had to be accountable for his commitments, and he didn't want to hurt a woman just for his physical needs.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xiaoqiang answered honestly, "I just broke up, and I can't fall in love with someone so soon, but it's true that I have a fondness for you."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ke'er smiled affectionately, "Your response is enough for me."

Then, Xia Ke'er tiptoed and kissed Li Xiaoqiang on the lips.
