Chapter 382 – Accidental Entry into ICU, Impromptu Performance

Main Street.

Ye Kuang flagged down a taxi, unable to conceal his anxiety. He repeatedly urged the driver to go faster.

“Hey young man, I’m already at the maximum speed limit. Any faster and we might get pulled over. Also, what’s in that bundle of yours? Why is it moving?” the taxi driver asked curiously.

“It’s nothing, just a little one who’s injured.”

“What? Why didn’t you say so earlier! Never mind the rules, young man – hold on tight!”

Vroom… Zoom!

Meanwhile, Ye Kuang looked down with pity and slight tension, his eyes fixed on the dying mutt in his arms.

Yes, you read that right – a mutt.

This was the same dog he had rescued earlier when he rushed to the second floor with that grave expression.

The dog was foaming at the mouth as if poisoned, its eyelids fluttering like misty clouds, seemingly expressing endless gratitude.

Ye Kuang: “You’ll be fine, little one. You must learn to be strong and hang in there.”

The mutt: “Whimper…”

Ten minutes later, Ye Kuang arrived at his destination – a nearby medical institution.

It has to be said that fate works in mysterious ways.

Ye Kuang’s destination happened to be the same medical institution where the previously rescued burn victim had been taken.

Suddenly, the taxi driver exclaimed: “Young man, go check on the little one first! You can pay the fare later.”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but feel grateful: “Uncle, you’re truly kind-hearted, possessing such compassionate spirit.”

Even as he spoke, he was already pushing the car door open, moving as fast as the wind.

Witnessing this, the taxi driver clicked his tongue in amazement, clearly stunned by the scene. He couldn’t help but muse: “Ah, that little one is so lucky to have found such a compassionate family. Wait, that doesn’t make sense – the kid saying I’m kind is understandable, but why did he say I have a compassionate spirit? That’s not normal. Ah, never mind.”

Little did he know that from the moment Ye Kuang entered the medical institution, he had been searching for doctors and nurses. Surprisingly, he couldn’t find a single one after quite some time.

The hospital rooms were either filled with middle-aged women boasting about their upcoming discharges, or elderly gentlemen newly admitted and awaiting treatment.

As he wandered aimlessly through the unobstructed corridors, he unexpectedly found himself outside several ICU rooms with flashing red lights.

At this moment, Ye Kuang grew even more anxious!

The mutt had reached a critical state – barely breathing in, barely breathing out.

Moreover, he couldn’t understand the meaning of the “Intensive Care Unit” sign on the door, nor had he ever seen the string of letters below it before.

He knew that if he didn’t think of something soon, he might have to bid farewell to the little one forever.

“No time to worry about that now – saving lives comes first.”

In his desperation, Ye Kuang randomly pushed open one of the ICU doors.

“Who are you? Don’t you know we’re at a critical moment in surgery? Why aren’t you in medical scrubs? Are you new? And why are you bringing a dog in here? Are you insane?”

“What’s going on? Why all the noise? Don’t you know the attending physician is at a crucial stage? The patient needs a quiet environment – have you all forgotten?”

“But no, Head Nurse, I…””Shut up!”

At that moment, Ye Kuang somehow found himself putting on a medical gown – and damn, it was even a professor-level surgeon’s outfit.

“Ah, you… are also a professor?”

“Mhm…” Ye Kuang responded vaguely, then pointed at the other person and said with feigned authority: “You, go save this little treasure. Leave the rest to us.”

“Yes, yes, right away, right away. Please, please.”

Just then, a weary voice came from the bedside: “Xiao Liu, what are you doing? Hurry up and wipe my sweat.”

Little did anyone know that upon hearing this, Ye Kuang swaggered toward the bedside. Instead of picking up the sweat-wiping headband, he stood there wide-eyed, clearly unsure who he was supposed to wipe sweat for.

At that moment, the five nurses each attending to their respective duties couldn’t help but cast puzzled glances at the dumbfounded Ye Kuang.

“Eh, why is he wearing a professor’s gown?”

“Which professor is he?”

“What are you all talking about?” As they spoke, the Attending Physician inexplicably asked again: “Xiao Liu, wipe my sweat!”

Ye Kuang: “Oh oh, coming, coming.”

No sooner had he spoken than he proved quite quick-witted, though what followed still drew gasps of astonishment.

Ye Kuang directly lifted his sleeve and began wiping the Attending Physician’s forehead back and forth.

“Could you be gentler?”

“Ah, yes, yes.”

“Mhm, keep wiping my sweat later.”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Perhaps the Attending Physician hadn’t detected his true identity, or perhaps his impromptu acting was still passable in everyone’s eyes.

Little did he know, the five nurses kept glancing back at Ye Kuang’s clumsy, comical, and unprofessional movements, frequently emitting suppressed “pfft pfft” giggles.

To this, Ye Kuang remained unaware he had already revealed his flaws. Instead, he imitated their manner by angrily widening his eyes and glaring back fiercely, as if saying: I’m your professor, don’t speak recklessly.

It must be said that even the Attending Physician found today’s Xiao Liu quite strange, but this being a critical moment, there was no room for reprimands.

Thus, our main protagonist had ample time to act more and more the part, completely unaware that he was already full of flaws in the eyes of the five nurses.

Seeing him occasionally step forward to chat them up, how could the five nurses handle his flirtatious, cringey lines?

Even the head nurse grew flushed all over, clearly revitalized by Ye Kuang’s sweet talk, as if experiencing a second youth.

Soon, he was seen scurrying over to a nurse’s side, whispering: “Young lady, how old are you? What’s your height? Do you have a boyfriend? What kind of partner are you looking for? What do you think of me?”

“My name is Xue Rou, I’m 160cm, and I don’t have a partner yet. I’d like to find someone like you.”

“Oh my, am I that good? How about we go out for a meal later?”

“Mhm, sure.”

“And what about us…”

But who would have thought, just as the Attending Physician finished the final suture, he heavily exhaled a deep breath.

The moment Ye Kuang noticed this movement, he quickly pretended to be serious again, striding over to the Attending Physician and speaking with no small praise: “Xiao Lang, not bad, not bad. You’ve improved, grown, and shown responsibility. Come to my office later to discuss your position.”But as his words fell, he clearly no longer cared how excited Attending Physician Xiao Lang was, beyond words. Then, he practically fled, opening the door and gently closing it behind him.

As for Ye Kuang’s impromptu performance after mistakenly barging into the ICU, it clearly concluded under the reluctant gazes of five nurses and amidst the attending physician’s excitement.
