Chapter 23

Qin Chuan was also a bit of a smart aleck. In fact, the two of them were just talkative.

The environment of the countryside restaurant was rather simple, but eating in a bungalow had its own unique charm.

"Teachers, we have freshly caught lobsters today. Would you like to try some?" The boss lady greeted them enthusiastically as they entered.

"Lobsters? Do you use shrimp washing powder here?" Qin Chuan asked.

"What's shrimp washing powder? We don't have many lobsters here, and we can clean them quickly with a brush," the boss lady replied.

"That's good, cook them a bit longer," Lü Shulei said.

"No problem. This is something you're going to eat. If there's any issue, we would be responsible. Who would dare to do such a thing?" the boss lady said.

"Then give us a pound," Lü Shulei said.

"By the way, teachers, we received a batch of wild mushrooms today, freshly picked from the mountains. They taste very good. Would you like to try some?" the boss lady said.

"Wow, wild mushrooms, I haven't had them in a long time. Let's have some," Lü Shulei said.

"Don't order too much, just the two of us, we won't finish it," Qin Chuan finally said.

"Alright, just these dishes, and bring us a few bottles of beer," Lü Shulei handed the order to the boss lady and turned back to Qin Chuan, "Hey, not bad. Now Mr. Qin is actually being frugal. Is it because you've experienced the hardship of earning money after working for a while?"

Qin Chuan chuckled, "To be honest, I really have. I used to think wearing a white coat was magical, but once I got to the hospital, I realized this is not a good life at all. It's not a life for humans."

"You've made progress," Lü Shulei said.

The countryside restaurant was doing good business, with several tables occupied. Qin Chuan and Lü Shulei arrived a bit late and were seated at the last table.

"The smell of these mushrooms is nice, they might really be wild mushrooms," Qin Chuan said.

"Your nose is still as sharp as ever," Lü Shulei said.

"Do you think there might be poisonous mushrooms in these wild mushrooms? I heard people in the countryside often get poisoned from eating wild mushrooms," Qin Chuan said.

"Usually not. Those who sell mushrooms are usually very familiar with them," Lü Shulei said.

"Hisss." Qin Chuan suddenly saw two beautiful women, one wearing a white dress and the other a pink short-sleeved shirt, both with excellent demeanor.

Lü Shulei asked, "What's wrong?"

"See that? Two beautiful women over there. I told you we should come here for the local chicken," Qin Chuan said.

"You scoundrel, your eyes are so sharp. How many beautiful nurses at your central hospital have you messed with?" Lü Shulei said.

"Messed with? I'm so busy every day, I don't even have time to look at beautiful women, let alone mess with them," Qin Chuan complained.

"Serves you right. You did too many bad things in the past, and now you're getting what you deserve," Lü Shulei said.

"What are you talking about? I'm a good person, okay? I'm always the one being hurt," Qin Chuan said.

"Don't act so cheap, okay? Do you think I'll punch you? Is Shang Wenxiu one of the girls you messed with?" Lü Shulei said.

"Shang Wenxiu doesn't count. I can't tell you why," Qin Chuan said.

"If you don't tell me, I don't care. Just take care of yourself," Lü Shulei said.

"Boss, why aren't the dishes coming? We've been here for a while," Qin Chuan shouted.

The boss lady ran over, bringing some sunflower seeds, "Sorry, several tables came in at once. The kitchen is very busy. Please wait a moment, the dishes will be served soon. Have some sunflower seeds in the meantime."

The two beautiful women also looked over. They were indeed very beautiful.

"Wow, they are really beautiful. See that? They look even more beautiful when they smile," Qin Chuan said.

"Great Casanova, if you can get either of these two beauties, I'll be impressed," Lü Shulei said.

"If it were before, I wouldn't just chase one, I could get both of them. But now, forget it," Qin Chuan said.

The two beautiful women were also looking at Qin Chuan and Lü Shulei.

Both were foreign language teachers at Tan Shan University, staying on to work due to their excellent grades. The one in the white dress was named He Shuangjing, and the one in the pink short-sleeved shirt was named Yang Xin.

"Shuangjing, you've been spotted by two handsome guys. Do you think they have the guts to come over and ask for our phone numbers?" Yang Xin asked.

"These guys, they look like they have the desire but not the courage. Which one do you like? I'll go grab him for you," He Shuangjing said.

"If you like one, go for it yourself, don't drag me into it," Yang Xin said.

He Shuangjing laughed, "Just kidding, why are you so anxious? It's just a joke, you won't lose anything."

"These delicious dishes can't even shut your mouth. Hey, why is my stomach hurting so much?" Yang Xin frowned.

"Is it your period?" He Shuangjing knew Yang Xin had menstrual cramps every month.

"No, my period just ended," Yang Xin said.

"Maybe your period thinks you're too热情, so it's staying longer," He Shuangjing laughed.

"I, I don't want to talk to you. Ouch, it hurts so much," Yang Xin finally lost her composure, holding her stomach, her face turning pale, and sweat beads forming on her forehead.

"Hey, why is my stomach hurting too? And I feel like vomiting," He Shuangjing said.

As a doctor, Qin Chuan immediately noticed something was wrong with the two women and got up to go over.

"Where are you going?" Seeing Qin Chuan walk towards the two girls, Lü Shulei smiled helplessly, thinking Qin Chuan was going to flirt.

"Are you sick?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes, we suddenly feel some stomach pain," He Shuangjing said.

Qin Chuan glanced at the dishes on the table, which included a plate of mushrooms and a few other dishes. The mushrooms, which seemed quite fragrant, were almost finished.

"Did you eat a lot of mushrooms just now?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes, the mushrooms tasted good, so I ate a bit more," He Shuangjing said.

"Go outside quickly, use your fingers to induce vomiting, and try to get as much of what you ate out as possible. Then it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up," Qin Chuan said.

"Will that work?" He Shuangjing felt it was a bit embarrassing.

"I'm a doctor, I suspect you have food poisoning from the mushrooms. These mushrooms might contain poisonous ones or were not fully cooked," Qin Chuan explained.

"Ah? Help me, I feel so weak. Please take care of my friend," He Shuangjing said.
