Chapter 685 - 712 Boss 666 (Two-in-One)
Chapter 685: Chapter 712 Boss 666 (Two-in-One)
"Apprentice?" Lin Xi paused, and it seemed perfectly reasonable to others.
But what they didn’t know was that Zhang Huacheng was begging Lin Xi to accept him as an apprentice, but Lin Xi refused.
Seeing that Lin Xi didn’t explain much, the old professor automatically assumed he was Zhang Huacheng’s apprentice, and silently thought to himself,
"No wonder he was able to tell what illness I have!"
The title ’Divine Doctor’ is truly well-deserved; even an apprentice is so remarkable.
He suddenly felt hopeful, thinking no matter what, he must get in touch with Divine Doctor Zhang. Maybe his illness could be cured.
Moreover, Zhang Huacheng’s apprentice is his student now.
With this relationship, his chances of getting Zhang Huacheng to treat his illness increased.
As for the whole time, he never considered that Lin Xi could treat his illness himself.
At this moment, the class bell rang.
The old professor said to Lin Xi, "Let’s go to the classroom first, I’ll trouble you after class about my illness."
His trouble meant asking Lin Xi’s ’master’ Zhang Huacheng to intervene.
Lin Xi nodded, indicating no problem.
Of course, he didn’t know the old professor wanted him to contact Zhang Huacheng.
Both walked into the classroom. Lin Xi’s expression remained unchanged, but the old professor’s face showed an uncontrollable joy.
This was not surprising; anyone with a terminal illness for so long would have given up hope. To suddenly hear someone say that your illness is curable, and with authority backing it, the excitement inside is irresistible.
In the classroom, all the students stared at the old professor and Lin Xi.
Seeing the both of them like this, almost everyone assumed Lin Xi had been severely lectured by the old professor, why else would he be so happy?
After all, the old professor had a stern face just now.
Xue Qin curled her lips, the worry in her heart instantly dissipated, and she thought, "Let’s see if you dare to be so arrogant in the future. Do you really think no one can deal with you?"
Gu Xiaoxian cautiously watched Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, Lin Xi, Lin Xi, is he alright?"
Hearing her mumbling, Jiang Yi chuckled and said, "What could happen to him? At most, the professor will mark him absent twice, hehe, let’s see if he dares to be so arrogant next time!"
Right after she said this, Gu Xiaoxian became even more worried.
Seeing her like this, her two roommates quickly urged Jiang Yi to say no more.
Ding Yueqiu didn’t think Lin Xi had any issues; as an Assassin, she could observe that Lin Xi’s emotions remained calm, but why was the old professor so happy?
She didn’t concern herself about it.
Peng Bo, Xiong Haitao, and Cui Hua looked at each other meaningfully and mentally lit a candle for the boss.
However, during the next class, it puzzled all the students; the old professor frequently smiled gently at Lin Xi even if Lin Xi wasn’t paying attention.
Sometimes when Lin Xi was distracted, the old professor walked up to him, gently coughed, or lightly knocked on his desk.
If it were just that, the students might think the old professor was a gentle and understanding teacher. But when other students acted similarly, he showed no kindness and even directly warned them.
Like warning them if they continue not being attentive, they’ll be leaving his classroom.
The students were confused; was it the wrong approach? Did anything happen during the break that they were unaware of?
During the break?
Wasn’t the professor criticizing Lin Xi?
The class left many students completely bewildered, and they were even more surprised when at the end of class, the old professor packed up his books and, with a gentle face, walked up to Lin Xi,
"Xiaolin, do you have any other classes coming up?"
The students found the old professor’s tone to be extremely polite.
For example, like a kind elder speaking to a younger person they greatly admire.
Lin Xi shook his head and stood up, replying to the old professor, "Let’s go, professor!"
The old professor chuckled, like a child being rewarded with a lollipop, happily walked out of the classroom with Lin Xi.
Almost the entire group of students in Finance Class 5 and 6 was petrified.
Moments later, Peng Bo responded, obviously realizing they had misunderstood. It turned out the boss was not punished but rather got along well with the professor.
It even seemed the professor had something to ask of him.
"This..."
"What on earth happened?"
But at this moment, he only had one thought left in his head, which he directly voiced,
"Boss 666!"
Xiong Haitao nodded and followed, "Boss 666!"
Cui Hua, "Boss 666!"
"666+3"
"666+4"
"..."
"666+66"
Lin Xi and the old professor left the teaching building and went to the library, as almost every teacher’s desk is in the library.
They took the elevator and entered the office.
At this time, there were not many teachers in the office; they had either gone home or were still in class.
But in one corner, Lin Xi saw Zhu Ying, Teacher Zhu.
Yet she was seriously preparing lessons, so he didn’t disturb her.
The old professor’s desk was in another corner, quite far from Zhu Ying’s desk, so she, seriously preparing lessons, didn’t see Lin Xi.
The old professor found a stool for Lin Xi. After they sat down, he started saying, "Xiaolin, why don’t you call now?"
Lin Xi was perplexed, "Professor, call about what?"
He couldn’t understand what the old professor meant by this. He intended to give a careful check-up on the old professor and then consider what treatment method to use.
The old professor was also surprised by Lin Xi’s response. He asked, "Of course, call your master, see if he has time to check on my illness."
"You know, I’m quite old, and my condition is serious; I can’t delay much!"
"So the sooner the treatment, the better!"
Lin Xi nodded, "Early treatment is indeed good, but calls to my master, I didn’t understand!"
In this world, besides the old man who raised him, he didn’t have a master.
Could he mean the old man?
But did the old professor know the old man?
The old professor frowned slightly. Did Xiaolin not want to call Divine Doctor Zhang? If he didn’t intend to, then why did he come here and act like he’s willing to help?
With this doubt, he suddenly asked, "Isn’t your master Divine Doctor Zhang?"
"So I wanted you to call Divine Doctor Zhang to see when he would have time to check my illness."
Alright, Lin Xi finally realized it was a misunderstanding. During the break, the old professor had asked if he was Zhang Huacheng’s apprentice, but at that time, Lin Xi didn’t respond, leading to the professor’s misunderstanding.
Realizing this, he explained, "Professor, Zhang Huacheng is not my master, and it’s not him who’ll check on you; it’s me who will diagnose."
The old professor’s face immediately stiffened, not daring to believe as he confirmed, "Are you serious?"
At this moment, his heart turned somewhat cold.
To know, in all of Chuzhou City, the only person he had a bit of hope for was Zhang Huacheng. As for the others, he had never considered they could have any method to treat his illness.
But now, he initially thought he could leverage Lin Xi’s connection to reach Zhang Huacheng. But it seemed it was all just his own fantasy from the start.
However, he recalled Lin Xi had just said, "I’m the one checking."
So the next moment, the old professor looked carefully at Lin Xi, discovering no sign of falsehood on his face, and further confirmed, "You’re diagnosing me?"
"That’s right." Lin Xi nodded, continuing, "Although I’m not Zhang Huacheng’s apprentice, my medical skills, um, are superior to his. And not long ago, he chased me wanting to be my apprentice, which I didn’t agree to."
"If the professor doesn’t believe, I can call him right now and ask."
