A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 12: Hu Feng Visits the Sick

There was a sudden knock on the ward door.

Lin Wuming glanced at the time - it shouldn't be time to change the dressing or make rounds yet. Could it be that Huang Quanchuan Aihui has taken time out to come and visit him again?
Before he could respond, the door was opened.

The visitor was impatient and rushed in without even waiting for Lin Wuming's permission. He pushed the door open and walked in directly.

"Hiss..." Lin Wuming suddenly showed an expression of toothache.

"Hey, Lin Wuming, I'm here to visit you." Hufeng Toumi waved at him, with a lot of bags in his other hand, which looked like gifts bought for visiting the patient.

I don’t want you to come and see me—Lin Wuming curled his lips, but out of politeness, or perhaps fear, he didn’t say what was in his heart.

After all, she came to visit him with good intentions, and Hufeng Toumi was the first person he really met after coming to this world, so his relationship with her didn't have to become too awkward.

He had specifically inquired about it and found out that Hufeng Toumi did not have any mental illness; she was simply impulsive and irritable. She would not easily hurt anyone unless she encountered a situation that really angered her.

"...Thank you." Lin Wuming nodded dryly, silently putting the apple he was peeling and the juice floating around him back on the table.

"Your superpowers are quite convenient." Tiger Bee Toumi marveled at Lin Wuming's fancy use of telekinesis. After entering the ward, he raised his foot and closed the door.

Then, without any further ado, he immediately cleared the table and laid out the gifts she had bought.

The food was quite substantial, all food. Besides fruits and various snacks, there were also supplements and nutritional supplements with packaging that looked quite impressive.

Lin Wuming was not quite sure about the price level in Academy City, but it was obvious that such a large number of things would not be cheap.

Even if it is a gift from Tiger Bee Tou Mi to apologize, it is enough to show sincerity.

But considering that she is a level 4 user with great abilities, her monthly scholarship amount is higher, so she shouldn't feel too bad about it, right?

"I've asked the doctor," said Tiger Bee Toumi, "You're recovering well now. You just need to rest and replenish your nutrition, so I bought some food..."

She suddenly paused and turned to look at him: "Lin Wuming, you don't hate sweets, right?"

Seeing the strawberry cake he bought, Hufeng Toumi suddenly remembered that when he consulted the nurse, she seemed to have mentioned that Lin Wuming might not like desserts.

However, she had never visited others before, so when she went shopping, she acted on a whim and bought things completely according to her own preferences.

The other snacks are fine, but this strawberry cake is a true dessert!
The wasp looked regretful as it ate the honey.

"No, I don't reject normal desserts either." Lin Wuming said.

Lin Wuming doesn't dislike sweets if consumed in moderation. The rumor that he dislikes sweets probably stems from the sweet Mapo Tofu he ordered at a restaurant yesterday.

He disliked that dish for a while, and probably someone noticed it, so the rumor spread that he didn't like sweets.

"...Hmm?" Tiger Bee Toumi turned her head in surprise, with some cream on the corner of her mouth.

The strawberry cake, which was in limited supply every day, was her favorite. This time, she contributed it to Lin Wuming as a sincere apology.

However, since Lin Wuming doesn’t like sweets, it can’t be wasted!

Before Lin Wuming could speak, the girl had already snatched the strawberry from the cake.

Then I heard the words "normal desserts are not excluded." "Besides, strawberries are fruits." Lin Wuming added.

The girl's mouth moved quickly, and after swallowing the spoils, she handed the cream cake without the top to Lin Wuming.

"...Forget it, I appreciate your kindness. You eat it yourself..." Lin Wuming said.

"I'll give it to you next time." Hufeng Tou Mi was not polite and simply pulled over a stool to sit down and taste the cake carefully.

Seeing the girl's performance, Lin Wuming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

——Looking at it this way, this girl is indeed just an ordinary little girl.

"Hey, what is this?" Lin Wuming suddenly noticed a very special item among the gifts she brought. "It doesn't look like food."

"Of course not food," said Tiger Bee Toumi. "These are exercises and test papers for your entrance exam. Teacher Huang Quanchuan asked me to bring them here."

Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt melancholy when I thought that I had to start practicing questions and preparing for the exam again after a long time, and that I was doing so while in the hospital recuperating from an injury.

"After school starts, Lin Wuming, are you going straight to the second grade of junior high school?" Tiger Bee Toumi had already looked at the exercises. "Is that really okay? The courses in Academy City are quite difficult."

"Of course no problem." Lin Wuming said. He was only going to an ordinary school, and even if there was an entrance exam, it wouldn't be too difficult.

"Speaking of this," Lin Wuming was also a little curious, "Which school do you go to, Tiger Bee classmate?"

Or rather, he wanted to ask whether this girl was actually in school? Or, even if she was still in junior high school, she was already a member of the "Armed Incompetent Group"?

"Ni no Arm Elementary School." Tiger Bee Toumi said.

"Hmm...hmm?" Lin Wuming looked over with wide eyes. "Elementary school? Not junior high school?"

"Is there a problem?" the girl asked. "I won't be going to school until next year."

"You are only twelve years old?" Lin Wuming asked in surprise.

Obviously, he was taller than him, and even stronger than him as a boy. Lin Wuming always thought that Hu Feng Toumi was the same age as him, about fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Well, girls develop earlier." Hufeng Toumi shrugged and said casually.

"That's right..." Lin Wuming didn't think too much about it. No matter whether they were teenagers or not, they were all children in his eyes.

——However, he finds the courses difficult even though he’s still in elementary school... It seems that although this guy has extremely strong martial arts skills, his brain doesn’t seem to be very bright.

Lin Wuming looked over thoughtfully.

"Are you thinking of something rude?" Tiger Bee Toumi was very sensitive to his thoughts, but she didn't get angry. She seemed to be used to other people's opinions. "Hmph, forget it. Anyway, I'm not very smart."

"No, no, no, I'm sorry." Lin Wuming quickly apologized.

After thinking for a moment, Tiger Bee Toumi explained, "Actually, I skipped a grade just like you. To keep up with my peers, I started fifth grade last year. Academy City's courses are indeed quite difficult, so it's normal for you to find it difficult."

"You... are also a victim of an illegal experiment?" Lin Wuming immediately thought of the scar on her face.
