Chapter 274 : Protected My Merit Very Well Today Too

"What was I pinching? It was my dignity..."

Lin Li, Doctor: "?"

Looking at Bai Bufan, who was looking up at the sky in despair, both Lin Li and the doctor laughed.

It was indeed dignity.

"Sir, we don't serve people who are improperly dressed here," Lin Li said with a smile.

"Then what is considered proper?" Since he had already been discovered, Bai Bufan didn't care anymore. He stood carelessly on the machine, even deliberately wiggling his toes, exchanging lines from the movie "God of Gamblers" with Lin Li.

"At least you need to wear a tie connected to the ceiling around your neck."

"Then I have... don't fucking change the lines! Is that still a fucking tie?" Bai Bufan couldn't continue halfway through and said irritably.

However, when the height data came out, Bai Bufan smiled proudly:

"Sigh, I'm only 181.2. The last time I measured my height, I was already 180.7, I only grew half a centimeter.

"But, my last measurement was in mid-August, it's only been two months. If I only grew half a centimeter in half a year, I'd probably want to die. Don't you agree, Lin 'Point Three Centimeters' Li, who only grew zero point three centimeters."

Bai Bufan walked up to Lin Li's ear and let out a devilish whisper, with measured emphasis.

"Hehe, I don't care at all." Hearing this, Lin Li turned his head away, let out a "heh", and sneered.

"Mr. Lin, your blood pressure seems to be a bit high." At this time, the doctor opposite Lin Li stopped inflating the blood pressure monitor and said in a low but serious voice.

Lin Li: "?"

No, bro?

"..."

Lin Li turned his head and met Bai Bufan's eyes. Both of them blinked.

"Mr. Lin, you seem to care a bit." Bai Bufan spoke seriously.

"..."

"Fuck!! Dr. Liu! There's no need to say this kind of thing out loud right now!!"

"Hahahaha!!"

After a brief silence, both of them couldn't hold it in.

The doctor's "blood pressure is high" was indeed too authoritative to refute.

Lin Li raised his left hand, which wasn't tied to the blood pressure monitor, and gave Bai Bufan a hard punch.

Of course, this kind of data caused by short-term emotional changes naturally couldn't be counted, so the doctor measured Lin Li again.

The data was normal.

The two left the room. Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan, feeling under the psychological effect that the angle at which he looked down at him had become smaller, so he reminisced about the past:

"I miss my fifteen-year-old self. Back then, I was also omnipotent, growing a little bit every day."

"Old thing, it's about time for you to hit the road, don't reminisce here."

Bai Bufan wasn't polite at all with his words. Then, suppressing a proud smile, he patted Lin Li's shoulder and said with a sense of superiority:

"Lin Li, do you want me to recommend a height-increasing medicine to you? Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be surpassed by me, and you'll lose face then."

"Most height-increasing medicines are an IQ tax. Providing enough nutrition is more important than anything else." Lin Li wasn't interested in this stuff at all, so he responded disdainfully, "If you keep eating it, the bad news won't just be coming from the bodybuilding circle, Bufan."

"Mine isn't an IQ tax, nor is it hormones. The effect is immediate after I use it," Bai Bufan denied with slight agitation.

"That's because you could have grown very tall in the first place, it's mostly just a psychological effect."

"Absolutely not, it's the credit of the medicine, I'm sure."

"Come on, if there really was such a medicine, everyone would buy it and eat it."

"Because there are side effects, many people can't stand it," Bai Bufan shook his head.

"Mhm? What side effects?" Lin Li looked over.

"It hurts the feet."

"Hurts—"

Lin Li: "(；☉_☉)?"

"How the fuck do you use height-increasing medicine to increase your height, Bai Bufan! You bastard! Look me in the eyes and speak!"

When Lin Li realized it, he grabbed Bai Bufan's collar and questioned loudly.

"Put it in your shoes. If you have to take off your shoes to measure your height, you put it in your socks. The effect is immediate, but walking feels like stepping on an acupressure mat, it's a bit uncomfortable." Bai Bufan said regretfully:

"Because of this drawback, I gave up long-term medication, otherwise I should be 185 by now."

Lin Li: "..."

Can't argue with that, it really is immediate, works as soon as you use it.

"Only an opponent like you is worthy of growing taller." Lin Li approved, "But I'll pass, the soles of my feet are ticklish."

"Really looking forward to the future, Little Lin. Let's go, what are we measuring next? Surgery? Or ENT?" Holding the examination form and glancing at the nearby departments, Bai Bufan asked.

"Let's go for the blood test first, then I plan to do the CT and ultrasound first. Let's get these fasting items out of the way, then we can take our time with the rest after breakfast. I'm already a bit hungry," Lin Li thought for a moment and said.

The energy consumed after waking up is different from just being hungry, especially for someone like Lin Li who had formed the habit of getting up past four o'clock and eating breakfast steadily every day. Waking up at the same time today but without breakfast, he was indeed a bit hungry now.

"Reasonable, now that you mention it, I feel it too. Let's go, I'll see where the blood draw is." Bai Bufan nodded.

Drawing blood takes more time per person, so there was a queue here.

Although they could jump the queue, he still had to wait for Bai Bufan after finishing, so when Lin Li handed in the form, he directly told the staff that the two of them were together.

"Fuck, drawing three tubes at once?" Sitting on the chairs in the corridor, watching the work at the blood draw window, Bai Bufan clicked his tongue and sighed.

"Probably because there are many indicators to test, after all, you can't use one tube of blood repeatedly."

"Sometimes I quite understand people who faint at the sight of blood. The blood-red color does look quite scary." Bai Bufan nodded, then commented.

"It's okay." Lin Li didn't feel much. The Beautiful Lady had successfully desensitized him to this kind of scene.

"By the way, Lin Li, what blood do you have?" Bai Bufan remembered this question and turned his head to ask.

"Hot blood." Although he knew he was asking about blood type, Lin Li never liked to speak normally.

Bai Bufan: "..."

"Then vampires would be very afraid of you. After all, taking a sip would burn their mouths full of blisters," Bai Bufan commented with a twitching mouth.

"That's really true." Lin Li nodded, but then remembered something, turned his head, and asked Bai Bufan: "Bufan, let me test you with a question. If a person is bitten by a vampire and a zombie at the same time, what will he become?"

"What?" Bai Bufan subconsciously asked back.

"A vampire, because zombies are from the Qing Dynasty, there are unequal treaties," Lin Li explained calmly.

Bai Bufan: "?"

Bai Bufan blinked first, then his upper teeth began to bite his lower lip hard. His breathing sound obviously became louder, and his nostrils began to flare slightly along with his slightly trembling body.

This was Bai Bufan's Ninja War.

(Translator's Note: "Ren zhan" (Ninja War) is a pun on "ren zhe" (enduring/holding back)).

Actually, one could be considerate of vampires. After all, vampires have no way to supplement vitamin D by basking in the sun, they can only suck blood.

"Laugh if you want to." Seeing Bai Bufan like this, Lin Li said lightly.

"I can't, fuck! I really can't laugh at this! If I laugh at this, my merit will really be deducted!" Bai Bufan gritted his teeth and said to Lin Li.

Who the fuck knew I'd be eating melons from my own house.

The fucking Pinduoduo ten billion subsidy, the biggest source of domestic dark humor, really deserves to die.

So Lin Li just quietly watched Bai Bufan.

"Lin Li, quick, tell me a joke!" In the span of a dozen seconds, Bai Bufan's body trembled more and more violently. He clenched his fists and said to Lin Li with a difficult expression.

"There was a male deer (gong lu) that ran very fast, and became a highway (gao su gong lu)." Lin Li prevaricated in a half-dead tone.

"Hahahahaha—" Hearing this, Bai Bufan laughed out loud, seemingly even laughing until tears came out. While laughing, he patted Lin Li's shoulder:

"Fuck, Lin Li, this joke, haha, this deer (lu), actually became a highway (gong lu), wow! Cleverly using the homophone of road (lu) and deer (lu), what a great pun, it really makes one unable to hold back laughter.

"Too funny hahaha."

Bai Bufan's reaction amused Lin Li: "You'd better fucking be laughing at this joke."

"What else could I be laughing at?" Bai Bufan said matter-of-factly, then finally let out a sigh of relief.

Hope Buddha was fooled.

If merit really has to be deducted, don't deduct mine, I'm more sensitive. Deduct Lin Li's, he's a slut, he's been desensitized long ago.

...

Soon it was their turn. The blood drawn from Lin Li was very normal, it didn't emit golden light or immortal aura to highlight his extraordinary nature.

It seemed this child didn't have the bearing of a Great Emperor.

After drawing blood, pressing the needle hole with a cotton ball, the two went to the next location.

"So one tube is only five milliliters? I thought it was a lot. So these three tubes are only 15 milliliters?" Recalling the doctor's introduction just now, Bai Bufan raised an eyebrow and said, "Then donating blood requires drawing two hundred or even four hundred milliliters. After quantifying it, this number suddenly feels so exaggerated."

"Donating blood is donating a whole bag, it's a lot to begin with." Lin Li nodded.

"Passionate youth Lin Li, you'll be an adult the day after tomorrow, can you go donate blood then?" Bai Bufan asked, "This is the best time for your hot blood to be released, both physically and mentally."

"I don't donate blood." Lin Li shook his head upon hearing this.

"You are not loyal! What kind of passionate youth are you, you are a parasite!" Bai Bufan immediately stood on the moral high ground and sneered.

Lin Li shrugged.

Who knew what would happen when his blood entered someone else's body, maybe they would explode and die.

But he couldn't say it explicitly like this. Fortunately, Lin Li always had his reasons:

"Because I know very well that as a boy, as long as you have donated blood, there is a high probability that your blood will help someone else get an erection. I'm not gay, and I personally feel uncomfortable about helping other boys get an erection, so I don't donate blood."

Bai Bufan: "(；☉_☉)?"

This reason left Bai Bufan dumbfounded.

But Lin Li seemed to be right.

Remember, every morning, the conversation that often happens between red blood cells in the blood vessels is probably—

Red Blood Cell 1: Bro, want to go for a spin at Dick's place?

Red Blood Cell 2: OK, let's go!

Thinking of this, Bai Bufan smiled, nodded, and even gave a thumbs up: "This reason of yours convinced me, reasonable."

Arriving at the place for chest CT scans, next door was a room for chest X-rays. However, because the two test items were similar and both involved X-rays, the latter was not included in the package.

"Bufan, do you have any plans for pregnancy recently?" Walking to the door, Lin Li turned back and said to Bai Bufan.

"Are you sick?"

"I'm not joking with you. It says here that CT has a certain probability of affecting the quality of sperm and eggs. After the scan, your little tadpoles in the next three months might have problems. Getting pregnant at this time is a very irresponsible thing." Lin Li pointed to the notice board at the door and said.

"Does it affect jerking off?"

Hearing it was true, Bai Bufan immediately became much more serious and stepped forward to carefully read the pre-scan instructions.

Fortunately, it didn't affect it.

"No plans for pregnancy for half my life, don't worry." Bai Bufan nodded, then stared at Lin Li doubtfully: "What about you, you're not planning to go somewhere to inseminate within half a year, are you?"

"Get lost."

"Lin Li, if you go astray, remember to definitely bring me along," Bai Bufan pleaded. "I still want to see Feifei one more time, even if I can only give her spoiled little tadpoles."

"Idiot," Lin Li laughed and cursed, then asked:

"Bufan, I won't queue with you for this one. The ultrasound item I have later isn't in your package or mine, I bought it extra. I have to queue when I get there too.

"I heard it takes quite a long time, so I'll go straight there after I finish here. Then after you finish your CT, if I haven't come back, you go there to find me?"

"Sure." Bai Bufan nodded, no objections.

Lin Li, who jumped the queue, was soon called by name.

"Hello, I am the doctor responsible for the CT scan, my surname is Zhang." The machine and the control room were separated by a glass wall. The doctor in the control room walked over and said.

"Hello, Dr. Zhang."

Every staff member in the institution had a name tag on their chest. The doctor's name was Zhang Qiang.

"What do I need to do now?" Lin Li had never had a CT scan, so he asked.

"Do you have any metal products on or inside your body? Metal objects will affect the results."

"Then my head can't go into the machine." Lin Li said with concern upon hearing this.

"Mhm? Have you had steel plates implanted in your head for some reason? Your head?" Zhang Qiang asked curiously upon hearing this.

Lin Li: "No, I have a will of steel in my head."

Zhang Qiang: "..."

Your mom.

"Doctor, just a joke to relax. I don't have any on me, I already checked before coming in." Lin Li, having finished being a smartass, chuckled and obediently lay down on the examination bed.

"Okay, during the scanning process, please keep your body completely still and do not move. We will prompt you via voice when you need to hold your breath. The whole process takes about 5-10 minutes. Please relax, I'll help you adjust your posture a bit..."

The scan officially began. Lin Li kept his eyes open, but didn't look at the machine at all. Instead, he looked at the system.

Looking at the number 1 pleadingly.

Time passed minute by minute.

"Alright, you can get up now, the scan is over." After about five or six minutes, the slight whirring sound of the machine stopped, and the doctor's voice came from the speaker.

[Seek out and personally experience... (100/100; 2/4).]

Seeing the change in the numbers, Lin Li gently pumped his fist.

Great, there's no problem with the direction of completing my task, the type increased by one.

Then I can complete this task by tomorrow at the latest.

"You can leave now, don't forget the items you brought. If you feel any discomfort later, please contact us immediately." The doctor came forward with Lin Li's things and said.

"Okay."

Lin Li nodded and left the room.

"How many more until you?" Lin Li asked Bai Bufan before leaving.

"Probably four… of course, assuming there are no VIPs like you jumping the queue," Bai Bufan answered.

"Then it'll probably take over half an hour. I'll head over first."

"OK."

The ultrasound wasn't on this floor. Lin Li went upstairs and arrived at the ultrasound clinic according to the map.

After scanning the code to get his form, Lin Li handed it to the doctor in the clinic, and then waited in line at the door.

Lin Li seemed quite special among the people waiting outside the door.

After all, they were uniformly pregnant women and their accompanying husbands or family members. It seemed Lin Li was the only one purely here for an examination.

This caused the other waiting people to occasionally look at Lin Li, their gazes full of curiosity and a desire for gossip.

They probably thought Lin Li had some story.

The ultrasound obviously took much longer than the CT. Basically, it took an average of twenty minutes to finish one person's examination. Even though there were two machines here, the progress was still not fast.

But Lin Li didn't care, playing with his phone to pass the time, occasionally asking about Bai Bufan's progress.

But until Bai Bufan sent a message saying he was done and was walking upstairs, Lin Li hadn't even started here, and it would probably be a while longer.

Lin Li had to continue appreciating female beauty.

Some bloggers are really great, generous female bodhisattvas, very gOOd.

The people are awesome and beautiful, it's really a pity Wang Ze doesn't come and see.

"Eh? Lin Li?"

Lin Li, immersed in the inappropriate videos, heard this familiar voice.

Looking up, Lin Li looked at Chen Yuying appearing at the corner with pleasant surprise and confusion, and stood up: "Class Rep? Why are you here?"

Between Chen Yuying's brows, there was also an unconcealable pleasant surprise.

"I..." She pointed behind her, about to explain.

And Chen Zhongping and a woman with a slightly showing pregnant belly also walked out from the direction Chen Yuying was pointing at this time.

"Yingying, what did you just call out?" Chen Zhongping looked confused, his expression as if he had heard something he really didn't want to hear, and at the same time, his gaze also looked in the direction Chen Yuying had just looked.

Then Lin Li and Chen Zhongping locked eyes.

First, there was a brief silence.

When he saw the situation clearly, a very complex pie chart gradually appeared in Chen Zhongping's eyes, containing three parts disappointment, three parts frustration at someone failing to meet expectations, two parts regret, one part pleasant surprise, and one part anger. He pointed at Lin Li and asked in disbelief:

"Lin Li? Whose belly did you make big!"

Lin Li: "(；☉_☉)?"

Uncle, you're being a bit impolite like this.

And what does the pleasant surprise in your eyes mean?

Hearing this questioning that was no different from a thunderclap, the pregnant women and their families present, who were also waiting boredly, immediately had the fire of gossip ignited in their eyes.

Lin Li was just about to explain.

"Lin Li~~"

Before seeing the person, the voice was heard first. Another person lazily called Lin Li's name.

Naturally, it was Bai Bufan.

Because he was a bit hungry, Bai Bufan rubbed his belly while walking out of the corner. Looking at Lin Li in the waiting area, he asked: "Lin Li, when is it our turn, I'm so..."

The words stopped abruptly here, because Bai Bufan also saw Chen Yuying and Chen Zhongping.

Eh?

Why is the Class Rep here?

Then Bai Bufan noticed the scene was a bit strange.

Everyone in the corridor, the Class Rep and her dad, Lin Li, including those completely unfamiliar sitting pregnant women and their families, all seemed to be looking at the same place.

So Bai Bufan followed their gazes and looked down at his own belly, his hand still rubbing it.

Bai Bufan: "?"

Eh?

Why is everyone looking at my belly?

Eh?

What happened?
