I'm a doctor, not some strange profession.

Shen Qingci shook her head: "I wasn't talking about him, how should I put it..."

She was trying to find the right words to tell Lin Yue's story, but she found that no matter how she told it, it was hard to understand and even a little strange.

[Regional Announcement: The first batch of vehicles entering the residential area have begun to appear]

Enjoy life, starting in the living area.

The sudden prompt interrupted Shen Qingci's thoughts.

"The first batch?"

"Didn't we say it would take three more days to arrive?"

The carriage fell silent for a moment, and several eyes turned to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu explained casually, "The duration of a mission depends on luck and skill. To consistently stay in the top tier, you either need to be lucky enough to avoid time-consuming missions, or you need to be truly capable."

Wang Mengmeng quickly asked, "Then don't they get all the benefits?"

Zhang Wanyue also analyzed: "First come, first served... means everything is prioritized. If the living area is not large, the limited supplies are likely to be looted by them."

"What should we do then?"

Deng Yuxin asked.

Chen Yu waved his hand: "Let them take it; it's not like whoever takes it gets to own it."

Suddenly, Josh spoke up, "Hmm?"

Her gaze fell on Chen Yu's cheek, where there was a thin, long bloodstain: "You have a wound on your face?"

These words caused a huge uproar on the vehicle.

The bus swayed.

"Let me see, let me see!"

Wang Mengmeng was the first to rush over, "What happened? Does it hurt, Brother Chen Yu?"

Shen Qingci, Deng Yuxin, and the others also looked over.

Yang Kexin, who was driving, looked in the rearview mirror and felt a little worried.

Chen Yu was surrounded by them.

Suddenly, several hands reached out to touch his face.

In fact...

With his current physical condition, a wound of this severity should be almost completely healed in a little while.

It's as if he's seriously injured.

Wang Mengmeng, in particular, was practically glued to her body.

"Cough cough."

Chen Yu waved his hand: "I'm fine."

Josh whispered a reminder, "At this time of year, wound infection can be very troublesome... Chen Yu, I have some disinfectant here, can I help you treat it quickly?"

Chen Yu originally wanted to refuse.

After all, it has now gone from a deep wound to a shallow scratch.

But he stopped abruptly when he was about to speak.

His gaze lingered on Josh's face for a moment before he changed his words:

"Alright."

He stood up: "Then come back to the cubicle with me to deal with it."

"A cubicle?"

Josh paused for a moment, then realized...

It should be the small room at the very back of the carriage.

She noticed it as soon as she got on the bus, and was wondering what it was for.

Without asking any further questions, she grabbed the first-aid kit and followed Chen Yu through the corridor.

The women's eyes followed their retreating figures.

"Um..."

Wang Mengmeng blinked and gently nudged Deng Yuxin next to her with her elbow.

Deng Yuxin made a "shh" gesture.

Shen Qingci interrupted everyone: "Do you want to hear what happened in the villa? I can tell you now."

Wang Mengmeng immediately looked away: "Okay, okay!"

...

...

The metal door to the cubicle closed.

Josh stood there, slightly startled, and the sounds around him instantly fell silent.

"Is the soundproofing really that good?"

The cubicle was more private than she had imagined.

The space was small; a bed took up almost half of it, leaving only enough room for two people to stand side by side.

"Sit on the bed."

Chen Yu had already walked to the bedside, sat down, and patted the spot next to him.

Josh pursed his lips, walked over, and instead of sitting down next to him, he chose to sit sideways on the edge of the bed near the foot of the bed, placing the medical kit on his lap and opening it.

"Let me check the wound."

She looked up at Chen Yu, her tone gentle.

Chen Yu turned his face to the side, revealing the bloodstains.

Josh took out antiseptic wipes and tweezers from the medical kit.

Her movements were very gentle as she adjusted the angle.

"It might be a little chilly."

She gently reminded him and carefully began to wipe it.

Her attention was completely focused on the wound.

But Chen Yu's attention...

It's all about her.

Light streamed down from her side and above, enveloping her completely.

A beige turtleneck knit wraps around the neck, extending all the way down to below the collarbone.

When she leaned slightly forward, the curves outlined by the undulations of her knitwear were not ostentatious fullness, but rather the understated elegance of a mature woman, completely incomparable to that of a schoolgirl.

The long cardigan she was wearing slipped off her shoulders and hung loosely on her arm, revealing a section of her fair forearm.

"Your wound..."

As she gently wiped it, she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's healed so quickly! From the injury until now, it's only been half an hour at most, right? It's truly a miracle..."

Chen Yu simply hummed in response.

Josh continued to focus on the task at hand.

Not long after...

"Okay, the wound is clean now."

She withdrew her hand and took out a small tube of healing ointment from her bag. "Apply some of this, and it shouldn't be noticeable tomorrow."

She squeezed some ointment onto her fingertip and brought it closer again.

"Thank you, Chen Yu."

She suddenly spoke, her warm breath brushing against Chen Yu's ear.

Chen Yu turned his face away.

The distance between the two closed to the point where they could hear each other's breaths.

"What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for letting me on the bus. I...I will definitely cherish this opportunity and become a responsible on-board doctor!"

Josh blushed, but gave a very formal answer.

As she bent down to squeeze out the ointment, Chen Yu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her wrist.

"?"

Josh didn't pull her hand away: "What's wrong, Chen Yu... Let's apply it first, it'll help the wound heal faster."

She applied the ointment from her fingertips gently onto his wound.

Action professionalism.

However, Chen Yu was holding her wrist, and the posture seemed overly intimate.

Looking at her face so close to his, Chen Yu suddenly spoke, "Dr. Qiao."

"Um?"

"You just said you thanked me for letting you get in the car."

"What if I said,"

He lowered his voice, "I kept you here not just because you're a doctor, was it?"

Josh paused slightly as he applied the ointment.

Chen Yu said calmly, "The girls in my car must obey me unconditionally."

Upon hearing this, Josh simply nodded slightly: "I understand."

"Understanding is not enough."

Chen Yu's hand suddenly slid down and grasped her fingers.

"You said it yourself."

Josh lowered his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds.

"...I...obey you."

She finally spoke, her voice trembling slightly.

"not enough."

Chen Yu stared at her. "Say it completely."

Josh took a deep breath: "I, Josh, unconditionally obey you, Chen Yu."

She spoke slowly, enunciating each word clearly.

Chen Yu then released her hand and slowly said, "Alright, now I can resolve my hidden ailment."

He leaned back against the window, his legs casually spread apart.

"A hidden ailment?"

Josh frowned instinctively. "Where do you feel unwell? When did the symptoms start?"

Her voice stopped abruptly.

Because Chen Yu raised his hand and his finger actually tapped his own belt.

"..."

Josh's expression froze instantly.

In her early thirties, her profession as a doctor made her acutely aware of the subtle cues emanating from adults.

Her face flushed instantly.

A thin layer of red spread across the skin of her ears, neck, and even collarbone.

"this..."

She opened her mouth, her voice a little dry, "Chen Yu, this kind of joke..."

"I'm not joking."

Chen Yu interrupted her, his gaze calm: "You said you would obey unconditionally, but now I need treatment."

Of the entire vehicle, only Josh hasn't become the Red Phoenix.

This is a huge variable.

Chen Yu will not leave behind a single random bomb.

Even though Chen Yu could tell that Qiao Xi was genuinely grateful to him.

But gratitude doesn't put food on the table.

Who hasn't heard the story of the farmer and the snake?

Moreover, having learned from his past life, Chen Yu wouldn't easily trust someone's appearance.

Her biggest flaw is that she can't monitor her loyalty in real time.

Even acting rashly is better than being scammed.

Hearing Chen Yu's words...

Josh's breathing had become erratic, his chest rising and falling slightly with each breath.

She looked at him.

The young student in front of her was someone she had just personally promised to obey unconditionally.

She struggled, her voice trembling, "I'm a doctor, not some strange profession..."
