This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

Chapter 200: 200 Exam Hall Incidents

On the day of the college entrance examination, Du Heng was extremely nervous, even more so than he had been during his own exams.

Wang Shuqiu busied herself preparing breakfast for Du Xuejing. As she glanced back unintentionally, she saw Du Heng pacing in circles. After looking at Du Xuejing, who was still washing up, Wang Shuqiu approached Du Heng with an amused smile and asked, ”Are you really nervous?”

Du Heng secretly glanced at Du Xuejing, who was washing up, and whispered, ”Is it that obvious?”

Wang Shuqiu laughed. ”You’ve been pacing here for ten minutes, what do you think? If you’re really that concerned, go check Tingting’s things. See if everything is packed and if anything is missing. Just don’t show your nervousness in front of her; it will affect Tingting.”

Du Heng thought she was right. He went to the table and took out Du Xuejing’s packed items one by one. He inspected each item carefully before slowly and neatly putting it back.

He checked the outside of the bag for her ID card, identity card, and so on.

When Du Xuejing finished washing up and came out, she saw Du Heng staring at her bag and mumbling to himself. Curiously, she picked up the bag and glanced at it. ”Little Uncle, what are you looking at? Everything’s packed. Didn’t we check it last night?”

Looking at the items now jumbled in the bag, Du Heng felt defeated. The person who should be nervous wasn’t, and he didn’t know why he was so anxious.

After breakfast, the three of them saw they still had half an hour, so they got up and walked towards the examination venue.

The morning weather was quite cool and particularly comfortable.

At the entrance to the examination venue, it was already crowded. Some students were excited, chattering non-stop. Some were very diligent, still holding books and memorizing material. Some students seemed calm, but their hands and feet were shaking.

There were also many parents chattering relentlessly, oblivious to the impatient expressions on their sons’ and daughters’ faces.

Actually, Du Heng also wanted to talk to Du Xuejing. However, seeing the expressions of those students, he consciously kept his mouth shut and just watched Wang Shuqiu and Du Xuejing laughing and joking.

Looking at the carefree Du Xuejing, who was still laughing, Du Heng could only sigh. This girl really doesn’t worry about anything. Even now, she shows no signs of nervousness.

It wasn’t until they sent Du Xuejing into the examination venue and watched the school gates slowly close that Du Heng finally relaxed a little.

Even though their home was nearby, neither of them had any intention of going back. Mainly, Wang Shuqiu noticed Du Heng didn’t seem to want to leave, so she decided to stay and accompany him.

The two found a shady spot, took out the newspapers they had brought in their bag to sit on, and prepared to wait for two hours.

Waiting was the most boring thing, but luckily, two hours wasn’t too long; they endured it, and the time passed.

However, seeing Du Xuejing run out, skipping and jumping, Du Heng started to worry about her future relationship prospects. With this kind of personality, any partner she finds will probably end up being just a buddy.

Du Heng and Wang Shuqiu only asked her how the exam went and then didn’t press further. But the girl chattered on endlessly, seeming quite pleased with herself.

She was happy. However, some parents nearby, who had finished talking with their children, wore gloomy expressions as they looked at the extremely cheerful Du Xuejing.

The math exam was in the afternoon, and the weather seemed to have swallowed gunpowder—it was unbearably hot. Not only hot but also stuffy, and worse still, there wasn’t the slightest breeze.

With such temperatures, the stifling and quiet classroom would likely make everyone sleepy, regardless of how prepared they were for the exam.

Wang Shuqiu held an umbrella for Du Heng and Du Xuejing, but Du Xuejing still seemed a little wilted, not as energetic as in the morning. Du Heng thought for a moment and then took out the alertness-enhancing pills he had prepared yesterday from his bag.

”Tingting, come on, take this medicine.”

”Little Uncle, I’m not sick. Why should I take medicine?” Du Xuejing seemed a bit reluctant to engage with Du Heng. She had just wanted to eat an ice pop, but Du Heng had flatly refused, leaving no room for negotiation.

”It’s to keep you alert and your mind clear.”

”Really?”

Du Xuejing instantly perked up, took the pill from Du Heng’s hand, and put it in her mouth.

”Little Uncle, do you have more? I want to give one to my best friend. Look, she’s over there.”

”No.”

”Why not?” Du Xuejing, who had just cheered up, became unhappy again.

Du Heng patiently explained, ”I made this medicine myself. I can give it to you, and you’re not likely to sue me. But giving it to someone else is illegal. If they were to sue me, losing money would be the least of my worries; I could go to jail.”

”Is it that serious?”

”What do you think?”

Just as Du Heng finished speaking, a cry of alarm sounded not far behind them.

The three of them turned their heads to look and saw that the best friend Du Xuejing had just pointed out had collapsed on the ground and was now being held in her mother’s arms.

”Xiao Ying, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare Mommy!” the woman cried, squatting on the ground, holding her daughter and shouting, but the girl in her arms remained unresponsive.

”Is there a doctor here? Please, save my daughter!” the woman pleaded, turning to seek help after her own calls yielded no results.

However, everyone present backed away slightly; no one seemed willing to step forward and help.

Fortunately, during the college entrance examination, in addition to police officers assisting, ambulances were also on standby, parked not far from the school entrance.

Upon hearing the woman’s cry, personnel for medical care from the ambulance grabbed their kit and hurried over.

After a quick and tense examination, the Emergency Doctor told the girl’s mother, ”Your daughter fainted from heatstroke. It’s not serious.”

With the help of the police, the doctor then moved the girl to a shady spot.

The Emergency Doctor administered Huoxiang Zhengqi Tincture and a bottle of glucose, while others continuously fanned her with pieces of clothing.

The girl’s mother had an anxious expression, her face streaked with black tear tracks from her eyeliner.

But she didn’t care about that; she just watched the medical team anxiously as they worked. ”Doctor, my daughter has an exam later. Will she be okay for it?”

The doctor was too busy treating the girl to answer her mother’s question.

The students here today were undoubtedly present for the college entrance examination. So, even without the mother’s reminder, he was trying his best to avoid administering an infusion, which could affect the child’s ability to take the exam later. After all, being on an infusion would certainly have an impact.

”Someone come over and help! Get something else to fan her with,” the Emergency Doctor called out to a nearby police officer, then quickly dashed back to the ambulance himself, returning with a small white plastic box.

The moment the box was opened, a wave of coldness rapidly spread out; it contained a mixture of ice and water.

There were no towels nearby, so the Emergency Doctor ran back again and grabbed a large pack of toilet paper. He pulled out some toilet paper, soaked it in the icy water in the small box, and handed it to the girl’s mother. ”Her arms, neck, behind her ears, and other areas—wipe them all down.”

The girl’s mother choked back a sob and quickly took the damp toilet paper.

It was very cold, very chilling.
