Later, He Became A Royal Healer Chapter 32 - Fortunately, you are not a girl.

Chapter 32 - Fortunately, you are not a girl.

When they were meeting in game, it was rare that they had time to converse. Kang Shengzhe glanced at the computer screen in front of him. On the university application page, he was ranked first in the ranking for the Liberal Arts College in A University. He rotated his chair, deciding not to pay attention to the registration anymore as he typed: — Having a good time in the Imperial Capital?
You Liangxing: — Imperial Capital?
You Liangxing had never divulged his location to [don’t want to move], and [don’t want to move] had to explain: — Your friend yesterday…
After recalling what he meant, You Liangxing replied: — It’s alright.
A moment later, he added: — A little hot.
Kang Shengzhe: — I will be going to the Imperial Capital soon.
You Liangxing: — Tourism?
Kang Shengzhe: — For work.
For work, You Liangxing felt somewhat confused by those two words. However, now was not the time to ponder about it deeply, so he only said: — En.
Kang Shengzhe: — Do you have any recommendations regarding scenic spots that must be seen?
You Liangxing summarised: — Historic sites.
While the method of induction was executed well, it did not achieve the effect that usually came with the induction.
When a person goes to Beijing, historical sites naturally needed to be seen, but historical sites in Beijing…. There were really too many.
Kang Shengzhe could not suppress a smile as he asked: — Historical sites… Pfft, are you up for a game?
Previously, when You Liangxing went online, he was intending to pass the time by playing a game. However, over the course of their questioning and answering, that time has passed. He replied: — No longer.
Kang Shengzhe did not mind: — Then see you tonight.
You Liangxing agreed, they had already made arrangements yesterday to try the matchup again. As he was about to go offline, [don’t want to move] sent another message.
[don’t want to move]: — By the way, let’s open mics tonight, alright?
Suddenly, a loud cry rang out, containing an abundance of emotions.
You Liangxing turned his head, only to see Liang Chulin frowning, enmity oozing as he glared at the screen. “Brother Liang Liang, look at it!”
You Liangxing looked over. The registration period had ended, and in the subsequent confirmation list, Liang Chulin’s examinee identity numerals was stable and within the Liberal Arts College of A University.
You Liangxing: “?”
Liang Chulin sighed in despair as he explained: “It’s not about me, I definitely got in. Look above! There’s another person above!”
You Liangxing raised his gaze, and sure enough, there was another person who was ranked above. However, the name was not made public, and the only visible information was his official ranking, which was above Liang Chulin.
That person was first, Liang Chulin was second.
Liang Chulin said: “It must be him, that Kang Shengzhe, ah right, Kang Shengzhe is the repeat student I was talking about. However, his name is not important; what is important is his rank. Other than him, there’s no one else who can accomplish it, so it’s definitely him!”
Liang Chulin hugged his head for a while, and voiced his sorrow, “This is a nightmare, a nightmare ah.”
You Liangxing patted his shoulder. Depressed, Liang Chulin jumped to the counter to buy two more old popsicles.
Liang Chulin had a temperament of a child, and after witnessing it too many times, You Liangxing gradually became accustomed to it. On the other end, [don’t want to move] message him again: — It’s over.
What he was referring was naturally the matter that had to be done. As luck would have it, the timing of his message and the release of Liang Chulin’s application results were extremely close. You Liangxing replied: — That’s good.
[don’t want to move]: — Waiting on you at night.
Although he missed the opportunity to respond, You Liangxing did not have the intention to reject the other party’s request to turn on their microphones to begin with. When he thought about it later, there was nothing awkward about it, nor was there any harm in rejecting his request.
Having to converse with [don’t want to move]… he was not adverse to it.
After the registration ended, there was still some time before dinner. Neither of them liked shopping but they were keen on games, so Liang Chulin, who was in bad mood, took the initiative to visit the video game city.
In the video game city, the entertainment that was available was endless. Liang Chulin went to the front desk to make an exchange for two hundred game coins first, and as he became affected by the excitement in the atmosphere, he said: “Brother Liang Liang, let’s play everything here once.”
You Liangxing nodded even though he held very little interest in these things. After exchanging for only fifty game coins, he followed behind Liang Chulin who was trotting his way to the dozen or so claw machines.
“Let’s play this first. We’ll catch one and then continue our wat inside. Brother Liang Liang, which one do you think looks good?”
The claw machines had fantastic oddities of every description; some dolls were soft and cute while others were strangely shaped. You Liangxing took a look around and said: “All’s fine.”
Unlike Liang Chulin who was worrying about catching an ugly-looking doll, You Liangxing was more worried that he could not catch one at all.
However, Liang Chulin was eager to try: “Then let’s try for the white bear, wah, now that I’m looking at it closely, it looks like Brother Liang Liang! See, it’s cool and handsome! I’ll try and grab it for you!”
You Liangxing gave it a glance but he did not discern any similarities. Instead, he just nodded.
Liang Chulin’s gaze had a glint of anticipation. Coin inserted, the doll-clawing machine started moving and the red indicator displayed a timer of more than twenty seconds. “This position should be fine, good, okay!”
Pressing the button, the iron claw opened and lowered, wobbling as it picked up the white bear. However, the white bear fell down with a patter before the claw managed to move a centimetre forward.
Liang Chulin pouted: “Ai! Almost.” Pursing his lips, he said, “Again.”
Liang Chulin fed the coin into the machine again, clamped and the bear started wombling. He did not expect that in this attempt, the white bear wouldn’t even move a centimetre before it slipped out of the claw and drop vertically.
After several consecutive failures, Liang Chulin was extremely dissatisfied. Bitterness evident on his face, he exclaimed: “Again, again!”
After another try, it failed.
After the second try, it failed.
After the third try… it still failed.
For more than half an hour, Liang Chulin tried again and again, but the little white bear seemed to be competing with him in strength and it refused to come out no matter what.
Originally, Liang Chulin had planned to play all the game consoles in the video game city and play it once. However, reality slapped him in the face, and his two hundred game coins were forfeited to the doll-clawing machine.
And yet, he did not manage to catch the bear!
Liang Chulin scratched his head angrily, “I… I, I’m never playing the doll machine ever again!”
You Liangxing raised his hand and handed over the game coin in his hand. While he did not speak, but his thoughtfulness and tolerance shone clearly in his body language. At that moment, Liang Chulin was touched by his actions, and he was about to reach out to take it before he retracted his hand again. Helpless, he said: “Brother Liang Liang, why don’t you try and grab it.”
You Liangxing infrequently came in contact with doll machines, and since his stash of game coins was not large, the number of chances he had were not as abundant as Liang Chulin. Under the boy’s expectant eyes, You Liangxing inserted the coins, moved the clamp, determined the position and finally pressed the button.
The claw lowered while lightly swaying, and the claw opened up before it closed in and grabbed the little white bear’s body.
Liang Chulin’s heart was hung with extreme nervousness, and he kept chanting silently: “Jiayou,Jiayou! Don’t let go!”
The claw slowly moved, bringing the little white bear to the exit. Unexpectedly, the little bear’s feet knocked against the plastic boundary framing the exit, and its body went askew. As the little white bear dangled down from the claw, it hung onto the small ledge next to the exit.
Then the grip of the claw loosened, and the little white bear softly rocked. Liang Chulin became increasing anxious, “Come on, come on, come on.”
The doll-clawing machine could affect human feelings but You Liangxing remained resolutely calm. Looking at the tinge of red on Liang Chulin’s face that was induced by his anxiety, You Liangxing raised his hand and thumped fiercely on the glass surface of the doll machine.
A muffled sound accompanied the quaking of the machine. The little white bear trembled before it fell into the exit and slid out smoothly.
Bingo!
Liang Chulin was so happy he jumped, “Caught it, caught it!”
You Liangxing picked up the bear and studied it. He felt that the bear’s expression was a little serious and its eyes were black and bright. Overall, its appearance was adorable and cool and it gave off a complex sense of cuteness. He handed it to Liang Chulin, “Yours.”
You Liangxing’s voice sounded very cute, and when the word ‘Yours’ landed in the ears of others, it seemed to have the quality of a play-pretend of coquettish anger. However, Liang Chulin only felt a handsome tempest heading his way, and the manner he looked at You Liangxing’s face was akin to an SSR-class fanatical little brother.
“Brother Liang Liang!! How are you so handsome!!”
After receiving the bear, Liang Chulin was so happy he could fly, and he liked it so much he rubbed his face against the doll for a good while. Then, he remembered that he initially wanted to give the bear to You Liangxing…
Who knew that before he came back to his senses, You Liangxing had already gifted him the bear.
Liang Chulin concluded with a sigh: “Brother Liang Liang, if I was a girl, I would definitely marry you.”
You Liangxing turned his head back and said seriously: “Really? Fortunately, you are not a girl.”
Liang Chulin: “…..”
The boy burst into tears and threw himself onto You Liangxing’s back.
It was late in the evening and it was time for dinner soon. As they were making their way out the video game city, Liang Chulin suddenly pulled You Liangxing to a stop.
“Hey, hey Brother Liang, let’s give that a try!”
Looking in the direction that Liang Chulin was pointing towards, there was a boxing strength testing machine in the corner. Liang Chulin scanned through the instructions and said: “The maximum score is apparently 999. I don’t know how the force is calculated but come and give it a try, Brother Liang Liang.”
When they were trying for the doll at the claw machine, Liang Chulin witnessed You Liangxing knock against the glass surface with a neither light nor heavy manner. Thus, when they were passing by the testing machine, he was overcome by a sudden whim.
If it was something else in its surroundings, You Liangxing might not have tried it. However, when he saw the word “boxing”, his heart was moved slightly. He walked over, and Liang Chulin was full of smiles.
“Brother Liang Liang, try and punch it.”
You Liangxing adjusted his posture. Since he was trained in the sport, his punching positioning differed from ordinary people. He used his body and strength simultaneously, and with an abrupt movement, he exerted a momentum that was akin to thirty thousand jin.
When the punch landed, the sound emitted was particularly dull.
Just by listening to it, it could be judged that the weight in that one punch was extraordinarily heavy.
Liang Chulin was a little excited in the moment, “That’s super impressive! Wah, how many points is this!”
The numbers on the digital meter kept rising, and Liang Chulin’s breath hastened. Finally, after the red light was done flickering, the number stopped at 999.
999!
This, how was this possible?
Blankly, Liang Chulin said: “The machine shouldn’t be broken, right?!”
Liang Chulin inspected the left and right of it, but he did not find anything wrong with it, nor did he consider other explanations. Yes, the number 999 was indeed too exaggerated, and most people would not think that a person with a physique like You Liangxing’s could achieve such a result. You Liangxing might be tall and handsome but being handsome did not necessarily mean he would be a boxing champion; how could he possibly hit the limits of the testing machine with one random punch?
Liang Chulin said: “Brother Liang Liang, let me give it try first.”
You Liangxing did not express his opinion as he watched Liang Chulin store up his strength before he abruptly swung his fist. His movements were too fast and You Liangxing could not stop him in time. With that unreasonable posturing of his, it was very likely that he had injured himself.
The number on the digital meter rose and came to a standstill at 445. However, Liang Chulin was not paying attention to it. After he had thrown out his punch, he had squatted down and stopped moving completely.
You Liangxing stepped forward and saw that Liang Chulin’s face was dripping in cold sweat, and he seemed to be in a lot of pain.
“Show me your hand.”
Liang Chulin stretched his hand. His wrist was not red or swollen, nor was it showing signs of trauma. Clenching his teeth, Liang Chulin whimpered: “Brother Liang Liang, it’s not my hand, it’s my stomach. My stomach is hurting like crazy.”
