Chapter 1040: Let Me Give You an Example! (Bonus Chapter)
Jiangnan wanted to drag Xia Yao along to get shots, but got scolded by Da Lang Mie instead!
So he slunk off to the injection room to get his medicine and shot!
Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Zhang San, Li Si, and the others were all hooked up to IV drips, with quite a few nurse sisters bustling around the room!
The moment Jiangnan stepped inside, everyone's eyes locked onto him!
The nurse sisters' eyes sparkled!
(ʃƪ•̀ㅂ•́)♡ "Ah~ it's Nan Shen! Let me give him the shot!"
٩(๑❛ัᴗ❛ั)۶ "Me, me! I'm really skilled, it won't hurt a bit!"
(･᷄～･᷅) "Please, let me do it! I've been looking forward to this for so long!"
Three nurse sisters immediately surrounded Jiangnan, making Liu Mang's mouth twitch.
Zhang San grumbled resentfully, "Why are there three giving Nan Shen shots? No one's coming to give me one!"
Jiangnan beamed: "Don't rush, there's plenty of time. You'll all get your chance!"
Liu Mang snickered.
╮(︶ᴗ︶)╭ "Nan Shen, how could you bear to refuse the sisters' request?"
"As they say, 'Better to seize the day' – why not just let them all do it at once? You've got three IV bottles anyway, what's the harm?"
The nurse sisters exchanged glances, eyes brightening: "Great idea!"
A minute later, Jiangnan sat on the bed, his mouth twitching!
Both hands had three needles stuck in, hanging three IV bottles simultaneously.
"Th-this... is this really okay?"
Liu Mang snickered: "What's there to worry about? You're the World's Strongest Platinum, right? Not just three bottles, even if you hung 30 at once, you'd be fine!"
Sorry, jealousy has made me unrecognizable!
Jiangnan: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄
What the heck, hanging 30 at once? That would puncture the air out, wouldn't it?
(๑˘ٹ˘) "Eh~ what can I say? Being too popular is a sin, I suppose. This must be heaven's punishment for my overwhelming handsomeness, right?"
"Unlike some people, no sisters like them. Getting older, still no partner. Shame, shame~"
As soon as he said that, the injection room filled with the sound of grinding teeth!
[From Zhang San: Resentment Value +777!]
[From Li Si: ...]
Beside Liu Mang, Ai Jiang suddenly materialized, hugging his arm. Liu Mang immediately puffed up with confidence.
"Exactly, exactly! A bunch of single dogs, how pathetic!"
Everyone: (￢_￢)
Aren't you even more pathetic?
Next to Xiong Er, the nurse sister looked troubled: "Classmate, the hair on your hand is a bit thick. I can't see the veins. I might need to shave the area before I can give you the shot."
Liu Mang burst out laughing: "Brother Xiong Er, take off your glove! You've got to cooperate with the sister's work!"
Xiong Er's face darkened: (̿▀̿㉨▀̿̿)̄
He asked Jiangnan for a bottle of Dali, washed his hands, and the bear fur disappeared, revealing two pristine white bear paws.
The nurse sister rolled her eyes: "And you laugh? At least after shaving, we could find his veins. Your hands are so black we can't see anything, you know?"
"Guess it's a gamble~"
Liu Mang's smile froze as he realized he was still black all over!
Three minutes later, the nurse sister was sweating profusely, and Liu Mang's eyes twitched.
(•́ω•̀●) "How about... we try the other hand? This one's already got twenty-some holes and still no vein found."
"Even if we do find one, the medicine will just leak out, right?"
The sister apologized sheepishly and switched to Liu Mang's other hand.
Jiangnan was cracking up. Serves him right!
His gaze shifted, and he saw Zhang San, gold chain around his neck, hanging up his IV bottle, rolling up his sleeve, and skillfully fastening the tourniquet.
Then he patted the back of his hand, precisely pushed the needle into his own vein, and started the drip.
Jiangnan was stunned: "Th-Third Brother? You can do that too?"
Zhang San shrugged: ╮(･´‸･｀)╭
"Or how do you think I've survived until now? Even if I waited here all day, no one would come to give me a shot."
Jiangnan covered his face. Life has battered you beyond recognition, yet you still love this world!
So inspirational!
It took quite some effort to get everyone hooked up. Liu Mang had both hands bandaged.
In the end, they had to stick the needle in the top of his foot.
Li Si's gaze fell on Mu Wan, who was alone in the corner, getting her drip.
She was half-leaning on the bed, quietly reading a book. Li Si wanted to look but didn't dare, sneaking glances from the corner of his eye.
Jiangnan: (๑乛◡乛๑)
"What's up, Fourth Brother? Got a crush?"
Li Si blushed: "N-nonsense! Nothing like that."
But under Jiangnan's gaze, he couldn't hold it in.
"It's just... she's really beautiful. Every time I see her, my heart races."
Jiangnan perked up: "Ask me! Pursuing girls? I'm the expert!"
Li Si's eyes sparkled. Nan Shen was called the dream of 900 million girls, so popular that a crowd of nurse sisters fought to give him shots—he definitely had tricks up his sleeve!
"Nan Shen, teach me a couple of moves. If it works out, I'll send you a red envelope!"
Jiangnan grinned. A red envelope? Sweet!
"Alright, listen up. Girls like Mu Wan—the kind they like best are bold and generous men!"
"Don't be sneaky. You've got to bravely show your offense, display your bold and generous side!"
Li Si swallowed. It sounded pretty reasonable!
"What... what should I do?"
Jiangnan chuckled: "Let me give you an example. Say you two meet in a restaurant. You secretly pay her bill."
"When she goes to settle up, she'll be surprised someone paid for her. Then the front desk will mention it was you."
"Mu Wan is the type who doesn't like owing favors, so she'll come to thank you."
"Then you say: 'You deserve it. Because only when I see you does my mood lift. Your beauty intoxicates me.'"
Li Si was thrilled!
"That sounds so romantic! What girl could resist that?"
Jiangnan smirked triumphantly: "That way, you subtly express your fondness for her and show your generosity. The story begins, right?"
"I guarantee she'll dream of you tonight!"
Li Si gave Jiangnan a thumbs-up, pulled out 500 bucks, and stuffed it into Jiangnan's pocket.
"Only Nan Shen can do it! No more words—I've got it!"
Jiangnan cackled, finished his three IV bottles, pulled out the needles, and headed to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Li Si couldn't contain his excitement, his eyes darting around.
He raised his hand: "Nurse sister, could you do me a favor?"
The sister blinked: "What's up?"
Li Si whispered something in her ear. The sister looked puzzled: "Are you serious?"
Li Si pleaded.
(｡･᷄～･᷅) "Please, my whole future happiness depends on you!"
The sister hesitated but eventually agreed: "Alright then... I'll do it!"
Time ticked by. Mu Wan looked up at her IV bottle—it was empty.
She closed her book, ready to pull the needle herself. But just then!
The nurse sister came over to Mu Wan with a whole box of IV bottles, ready to change her medication.
Mu Wan was surprised: (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅) "Didn't I already finish all three bottles? Why are there more?"
The nurse sister rubbed her nose: "This box of 12 is all for you. A gentleman said he wanted to give you a refill."
"He bought you a whole box, said he'd cover it."
Mu Wan: ???
What the heck is a refill for IV drips? You can refill an IV?
And a whole box? Does he want to kill me with fluids?
Following the nurse's pointing finger, she saw Li Si gazing out the window with a profound expression.
∠(´～`」∠)_
As if "noticing" Mu Wan looking, he elegantly glanced back, grinned, and raised an eyebrow.
He waved gracefully.
٩(◔ㅂ◔ิ」∠)_
He was ecstatic inside. My performance should be gentlemanly enough. Mu Wan definitely noticed me!
But Mu Wan yanked out her needle, picked up the box of IV bottles, and strode toward Li Si.
Li Si's heart pounded. Oh my god! She's walking toward me!
She's coming to thank me? What do I do? I'm so nervous!
Mu Wan reached Li Si's bedside, her face cold.
(｡‾᷄～‾᷅) "What do you mean by that?"
Li Si took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and looked solemn.
(｡･᷅ὢ･᷄) "You deserve it. Seeing you here makes me happy. Your—"
Before he could finish, Mu Wan's eyes turned red. She punched Li Si square in the face!
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)۶(#)꒪ཀ꒪)
Giving him a black eye.
Li Si: ???
"Your beauty..."
"Bam!"
Before he could finish his sentence, his other eye also turned black!
(꒪ཀ꒪(#)٩(ఠ益ఠꐦ)
Mu Wan was furious. What the hell do I deserve?
What did I ever do to you? Seeing me here getting an IV makes you happy, huh?
Can't you wish me well?
And you "refilled" me with a whole box of 12 bottles?
Li Si was dumbfounded. This wasn't how Nan Shen described the routine!
Shouldn't she be thanking me and dreaming of me?
Could it be... she knows I feel happy when I get beaten up? So she's expressing her thanks this way?
Th-this is perfect for me! As a bold and generous man, I should sincerely accept her gratitude!
(#)´д`(#) "Is that all? You can hit harder!"
Mu Wan: !!!
"Fine! I'll give you what you want!"
She jumped onto the bed, one hand gripping Li Si's neck, the other pounding his face!
Li Si: "Yes yes yes! This is it! I love it! Mmph~ glug glug glug!"
Mu Wan ground her teeth, popped open an IV bottle with one hand, and shoved it into Li Si's mouth, force-feeding him!
"Go to hell!"
...
Jiangnan came out of the bathroom, humming a tune.
Hmm hmm hmm~ (งᵒ̌◡ᵒ̌)ว
He heard a ruckus from the injection room. Curious, he peeked in.
He saw Mu Wan standing on the bed, pounding Li Si. His face was swollen, but he wore a blissful expression.
Several nurses were desperately pulling at Mu Wan's waist, but couldn't hold her back.
"Stop hitting! If you keep it up, we won't be able to treat him!"
Zhang San and Liu Mang were huddled in the corner, holding their IV poles, not daring to breathe.
Sheesh~ so brutal!
Jiangnan swallowed, cold sweat on his forehead. How did it turn into a fight?
(٥ง•́ω•̀)ว
That shouldn't have happened.
I'd better get out of here. Li Si might change his mind and ask for his 500 bucks back.
