Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

The morning sunlight streamed into the room, bathing Lappland, who sat on the hospital bed, in a golden glow. At this moment, she had shed her usual madness, and her face was filled with regret as she quietly gazed out the window, lost in thought.

"Hey, Doctor, looks like I can slack off for the next few days." As Qin Duanyu walked in, Lappland immediately flashed a bright smile.

It's impossible not to feel disappointed.

If someone had told Lappland half a year ago that she couldn't let go of something, she would have been torn to shreds by the wolf spirit. As a lone wolf separated from her pack, what lies beneath her madness is indifference towards herself and the world. Perhaps Texas, with whom she once had a deep bond, is the only thing that can arouse her interest.

Death? It's not even on the table.

But now, she desperately hopes that Oripathy can be cured, not for any wealth, fame, or fortune, but simply so that she can spend more time with the doctor.

"You want to slack off? Don't dream about it. Do you think a heartless boss like me would give you that chance?" Qin Duanyu gave an exaggerated sneer and gently grasped Lappland's hand. "This contract of servitude isn't for nothing. I'll be working from the hospital room these next few days to make sure I can squeeze every last drop of value out of you."

"That won't do. I heard from Texas about what you've been doing these past few days. You're sure you'll take advantage of me when I'm defenseless to do something outrageous." Although she secretly longed for Qin Duanyu to do *that* to her, and the thought of it in the hospital room was incredibly exciting, Lappland still shook her head with a smile.

It's enough that the person she likes has this sentiment; she doesn't want it to affect Qin Duanyu's daily work.

"What about my assistant? If you don't mind, I'll find another operator." Qin Duanyu gently tucked her in and adjusted the position of the pillow so that she could lean back comfortably.

"Tch, I knew you'd say that. But I've already arranged for someone suitable to replace her. During my rest period, you'd better get along well with her." Lappland smiled mysteriously, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Oh? Aren't you worried about having another new sister?" Qin Duanyu couldn't help but tease her, seeing her confident demeanor.

Due to some tacit agreement, when one of them is an assistant, the other girls who are involved with him basically have their own jobs to take care of, so Lappland has no way of asking them for help.

"It's okay, I'm very confident. You won't have any chance at all."

"Heh, you underestimated me. You probably haven't experienced my methods yet. Someone once said that they are now completely defenseless."

"Come on, come on, I've calculated it. The nurses only come to check on you once every half hour, so it'll be more than enough for you to do dozens of times."

After a brief, usual bickering, Lappland's voice grew weaker under the influence of the medication. Qin Duanyu didn't say anything more, but simply sat by the head of the bed for her to lean on until her breathing gradually became even before gently laying Lappland down.

"Sweet dreams, my love." He removed his mask and gently kissed Lappland's forehead. "Ideally, you'll dream that we've had a litter of wolf pups, the girl as beautiful as you, and the boy as clever as me."

Hearing these words while still asleep, Lappland smiled, and Qin Duanyu tiptoed away.

……

Back in the office, the operative Lappland had asked to help was organizing files. She seemed to be in a good mood, humming a new pop single from the Siren Company. She lifted the mountain of files with one finger and deftly categorized them.

Seeing that busy figure, Qin Duanyu exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Jie?"

No wonder Lappland was so confident. As the saying goes, a Saint Seiya will not be defeated by the same move. After witnessing Qin Duanyu's worst side and having the chance to crawl under the desk and experience it firsthand, unless Angelina is a silly deer, she will be hard to win over again.

Even if Qin Duanyu had no intention of flirting with other women, and even if she really wanted to have something happen with Angelina, in some ways, her defensive capabilities at this moment might even be superior to those of the early, straight-woman Lin Guang.

It is indeed quite reassuring.

Chapter 28, Section 308: It was her initiative; it has nothing to do with me.

"I'm sorry, Miss Angelina, I didn't mean to offend you, I'm just too surprised. I didn't expect Lappland to send you to help." Qin Duanyu came to her senses and tried to salvage her already extremely poor image.

After all, they would be working together for the next few days. He had already cemented his image as a playboy and scumbag, and if he were also mistaken for being impolite and giving his subordinates nicknames at will, the situation would be even more awkward.

"It's alright, Doctor. Back in school, everyone liked to give each other funny nicknames. It feels so warm and familiar." Angelina turned around and gave Qin Duanyu a kind smile.

In her opinion, aside from his chaotic private life and entanglements with a group of girls, the doctor is definitely a well-regarded leader. He is not only outstanding in his own abilities and considerate to his subordinates, but also has excellent taste and is very knowledgeable about clothing and cosmetics.

Unfortunately, he's a scumbag, the kind who casts a net to catch fish.

After witnessing that shocking scene, the so-called "scumbag" image instantly collapsed.

In the novel she read with a flushed face, peeking through her fingers, the male protagonist had to pretend to be interested in girls in order to hide his true feelings, and was even seen as a womanizer... So she thought the doctor was the same way.

With the only reason to feel disgusted gone, all that was left was goodwill. Angelina even felt that if she could successfully ignite the doctor's interest in women and "straighten" him out of his reverie through her charm, she would definitely gain an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

Hmph, in front of cute JK girls, all talk of maturity and sexiness is utterly insignificant!

Even if you fail, there won't be any real loss. Building a good relationship with the PhD student is like gaining a close friend. It would be nice to discuss things like clothes, nail polish, and lip gloss together.

So when she received Lappland's request, she agreed without hesitation.

If Qin Duanyu knew the truth, he would be incredibly grateful that Angelina was naive enough not to have dabbled too much in that forbidden area. Otherwise, she would have known about electrical appliances with two-way plugs, which would have disgusted him even more.

But now, not to mention Qin Duanyu, even if a real expert like Bo were present, he wouldn't be able to guess what was going on in Angelina's little head. Her unusual behavior naturally made him extremely nervous.

"Doctor, the documents have been organized. This is my first time doing this kind of work, so I'm not sure if there are any mistakes or omissions."

"Oh, okay, that's a big help."

"You seem a bit sleepy. Would you like a cup of coffee? My skills might not be as good as a professional barista's, but everyone likes it."

"Okay, thank you. You should rest too. I have some chocolate chip cookies here."

Seeing the girl's enthusiastic manner, Qin Duanyu responded blankly.

If it were any other unsuspecting operator, this behavior would be perfectly acceptable. However, Angelina had witnessed the disastrous state of his backyard and probably had been misunderstood by Blue Poison and the others for quite some time because they had crawled under the desk together.

Even if we don't say he's a bitter enemy, the kind of person who'd swing a staff at you on the head the moment you meet him, he should at least have a cold face and stare at you with a look of utter disdain, as if talking to him a few more times would make you pregnant.

After confirming repeatedly that Bo had not made any strange move against Angelina, Qin Duanyu's unease intensified.

"ah!"

Angelina let out a soft cry, interrupting Qin Duanyu's thoughts.

He then realized that he and Angelina had inadvertently chosen the same cookie, and that his hand was resting on her small hand.

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about work and didn't notice." Qin Duanyu pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted and quickly apologized.

"Hehe, isn't it soft and comfortable? I use hand cream every day, so I don't have any calluses at all." To everyone's surprise, Angelina was not angry at all, but instead smiled and took the initiative to extend her hand to Qin Duanyu.

"Hmmmm... I suggest soaking it in white vinegar for a bit, then applying some exfoliating cream. That way, you won't have any dead skin or hangnails." Qin Duanyu looked at it for a while and said without thinking, "By the way, this dark nail polish doesn't suit you very well. The lilac glossy one would be a better match."

"Really? Because I wear gloves all the time, even though my skin is pretty good, I do get hangnails around my nails. I'll definitely try it when I get back. By the way, do you have any recommendations for exfoliating scrub and nail polish?" Angelina asked, holding Qin Duanyu's hand with some anticipation.

"The DHC brands from Dongguo are all pretty good, but for nail polish, I'd recommend Dior," Qin Duanyu said calmly after a moment's thought.

If the genders were reversed, he would definitely be arrested by Chen for taking advantage of the physical contact between the opposite sexes. However, since the other party is a high school girl like Angelina, it is understandable that he got excited while talking about an interesting topic.

Anyway, Lappland and Platinum had touched each other countless times, so this kind of contact didn't stir any waves in Qin Duanyu's heart. Moreover, he didn't want to embarrass the girls by reacting too strongly, so he just let it be.

But for some reason, he, who had flirted with countless girls, had the strange feeling that he was being teased by Angelina.

"Doctor, as a thank you, let me massage your shoulders and arms. I've been learning from the ladies in the medical department for a long time." Without waiting for a reply, Angelina placed her small hands on Qin Duanyu's shoulders and gently massaged them.

The normal boys in my class would blush and run away if they got even slightly close to girls, let alone hold hands like this; they'd probably be so nervous they couldn't even speak properly. Sure enough, judging from her reaction, the PhD student definitely has that kind of taste.

After her misguided probing, Angelina's last shred of doubt about Qin Duanyu vanished, and she began to regard him as her best friend.

"No need... Ouch... A little to the left, yes, ah, my shoulder does hurt a bit after writing for so long." Qin Duanyu was about to refuse when a tingling, sour feeling came over him, making him give up his resistance.

During this time, there was inevitably some physical contact. For example, when Angelina helped Qin Duanyu stretch his arms, her newly developed softness would touch the back of his head. But after a brief moment of embarrassment, Angelina felt that it was nothing.

After all, the doctor had a taste for that, so he massaged Finn and Katie just like he usually does after training.

Angelina's nonchalant distribution of benefits made Qin Duanyu think of a certain possibility.

I get it, Lappland must have sent her to test me!

Although thanks to Bo's actions, he was no longer being treated like Cheng Ge by the girls, but he was definitely going to get a lecture. He vaguely remembered that the logistics department had just purchased a batch of titanium alloy washboards, and Hermer had only bought 80% of them, leaving quite a few in the convenience store.

Old Wei and Saria are one thing, but his slender arms and legs can't withstand the torture of those terrible instruments of torture.

“Angelina, you’re too close…”

"It's just a normal massage, Doctor, you're so cute when you're shy!"

So, the scene unfolded in the office where the experienced driver, feeling timid and hesitant, was instead teased by the ignorant and fearless newbie.

Chapter 29, Section 311: If it's a doctor, I wouldn't mind.

Noon arrived quickly, but the balance of power in the office had shifted.

"Anjie, do you know what else cucumbers can be used for besides eating?" Qin Duanyu picked up a small piece of cucumber from her lunchbox, dipped it in some sauce, and asked mysteriously.

"I...I don't know!" Angelina said indistinctly after taking a few bites of rice.

"What about the bananas?" Qin Duanyu pointed to the fruit in her lunchbox and pressed on relentlessly.

"Ugh, that's so dirty! How could anyone know about that kind of thing?" Angelina almost choked on her food, and it took her a while to catch her breath before replying with a slightly coquettish tone.

"Actually, apples can achieve the same effect."

"What? Apples are fine too!?"

“Yes, they can all be used as face masks. Cucumbers and apples can be sliced ​​directly, and bananas need to be mashed and mixed with some honey,” Qin Duanyu said matter-of-factly, then feigned surprise and asked, “You didn’t think of anything else, did you?”

"Ugh, Doctor, you're so annoying! I'm ignoring you!" Angelina, her face flushed red, immediately realized she'd been tricked and rained down her fists on Qin Duanyu.

Some guys think they're funny and start making suggestive remarks when they meet women, which will obviously annoy them. However, once they've built up a good impression, if they know how to keep things in check, it can actually help them get closer to women and make them seem more down-to-earth and interesting.

Especially when Qin Duanyu heard Angelina shouting "I hate it!" and waving her fists in a coquettish manner, she knew that Angelina also found it amusing. If she really didn't like it, she would probably have an awkward but polite smile on her face and then quietly move a few steps away to keep her distance.

There's no way around it, JK girls are just that easy to understand, even if they claim to be adults.

After all, the girl had always stayed in school. Even though she later became a messenger in Syracuse for a considerable period of time due to Oripathy and had been somewhat toughened up by society, she was still no different from an ordinary high school girl in terms of relationships and interactions with men and women.

In Qin Duanyu's opinion, her so-called flirting skills were nowhere near comparable to those of Platinum or Lappland. He was just worried that there might be some deeper meaning behind her actions, such as if she was really acting on Lappland's orders to test his level of womanizing.

But La Gouzi, even someone as shrewd as you has overlooked one thing: my skill level is far superior to this little girl's.

An experienced driver is an experienced driver after all. After overcoming the initial panic, Qin Duanyu quickly adjusted her state, casually told a few jokes that sounded a bit strange, and took control of the pace. She even planned to probe indirectly.

"I just noticed that you used Colombian conditioner on your tail, didn't you?" After feigning a few words of pleading, he suddenly pointed at Angelina's glossy tail and said.

“Oh, that’s a brand recommended by Miss Lappland. I’ve used it for a few days and found it to be really effective. Want to try it? I have a lot of confidence in it.” Angelina immediately became interested and offered her tail to Qin Duanyu.

For a seasoned troll enthusiast, it wouldn't be too difficult to lower Angelina's guard when an opportunity presented itself to her.

“Although you do brush your hair regularly, the teeth on the comb must not be close enough, which is why there are so many knots. If I’m not mistaken, you’re definitely using a regular hair comb instead of a special tail comb.”

"Hmm... Doctor... you're right..."

"Also, after each shower, you should turn the hairdryer to low power. Look, the ends are all dry. It's obvious that the power is too high and it's been over-dried. And without massaging to improve blood circulation, the nutrients can't be delivered at all."

"I clearly...followed Lappland and Miss Texas's instructions...and massaged myself every day after showering..."

“I see. Young lady, do you know the four ways to massage a tail? The tails of the Lupo and Volpo tribes are slightly different, so the massage techniques will also be different. Let me demonstrate for you.”
