Chapter 119: Every Time You Drive, You Gain Something

~9 min read 1,713 words

In the clinic, Luo Jun had already started his traditional skills.

"What is this you're holding? What do you mean my waist has a problem?? What problem do I have???"

"Where is Qin Huai? Where is Qu Jing?? Where is Dr. Zhou???"

"Mr. Luo, don't be excited, Dr. Zhou went to get the electrode pads," the nurse's voice came from the clinic.

"What electrode pads? I said I don't want electrode pads!"

While Qin Huai was trying to stick his ear to the door to listen more clearly, Dr. Zhou came running over, looking at Qin Huai and Qu Jing as if he had seen a savior.

"Master Xiao Qin, Dr. Qu, you finally arrived. I almost thought you weren't coming today, you scared me to death." Dr. Zhou exaggeratedly stroked his chest with his hand and shouted into the clinic, "Nurse Liu, don't do it, let me come."

Dr. Zhou pushed the door and went in. When one foot stepped into the clinic, he smiled and turned his head to Qu Jing and said: "Dr. Qu, I heard your paper was published, congratulations."

The door closed.

Qu Jing stood at the door, staring at the door silently for a few seconds, and slowly opened her mouth: "I recently wrote a new one."

Qin Huai hurriedly echoed: "We really can't compare to your dedication. Xiao Zheng and I slipped away this afternoon; we really couldn't stand making pastries every day. If I had to go to work, write papers, and do scientific research every day, I couldn't stand it even more."

Qin Huai considered himself a master of lies, but Qu Jing was the real master of lies.

Qu Jing wore this mask to cover most of her face. As long as her eyes didn't change and her tone remained the same, you couldn't tell at all when she was lying.

Even if exposed by a friend, she could find a way to make up for it immediately.

"I heard that doctors need a certain number of papers to evaluate professional titles," Qin Huai started making small talk. "That's what it says in TV dramas."

Qu Jing nodded: "There are requirements for the quantity and quality of papers, and it also depends on seniority and achievements."

"My paper quantity is actually enough," Qu Jing said. "And for my age, having my current professional title is already very good. I don't have any need to evaluate professional titles; I just simply like writing papers."

Qin Huai:...

This is even more outrageous than hearing a top student say he just simply loves learning when he was in school.

"Qin Huai, you should be able to understand. I heard from Mr. Cao and the others these past few days that you actually get off work at 12:00 PM every day and research new pastries in the afternoon."

"Before it was steamed buns, now... it's also steamed buns. Everyone says you particularly like steamed buns. The fermented rice steamed buns in the morning are also practiced in the afternoon and put out for sale in the morning."

"I believe you must also particularly like making pastries, Qin Huai."

Qin Huai: Not really.

To tell you the truth, I work overtime every afternoon because there is a side quest issued by a system, and there are many pastries to learn. I have to do it.

If you think I'm very hard-working, have mercy and tell me what the taste in your memory is.

Just as Qin Huai was thinking about how to change this damn topic, Luo Jun's dissatisfied voice came from inside.

"Can you two talk about something people can understand? You are here to accompany me for physical therapy. I don't like listening to what you just talked about, change it."

Qu Jing leaned close to the door and asked with a smile: "Then what do you want to hear, Mr. Luo?"

Luo Jun said with full breath: "What are the ghost things Qin Huai has been making every day? Flowers, birds, fish, and insects. If I liked them, wouldn't I buy live ones myself? Little Qu, pick a pastry you like, one Qin Huai hasn't made, and let him learn to make something new."

Qin Huai:!

As expected of you!

You could even think of such a tricky way to complete the task, you really have your ways.

Qu Jing said helplessly: "Mr. Luo, it's fine if you make things difficult for me, but why make things difficult for Qin Huai too? He doesn't get a salary from our hospital."

"He gets a salary from me," Luo Jun said righteously. "He is my distant nephew; my inheritance will be left to him in the future. What's wrong with making a new pastry?"

Qu Jing couldn't help it and subconsciously looked at Qin Huai.

Qin Huai:...

Luo Jun, do you have to take advantage of this generation gap?

Qin Huai nodded with difficulty.

Qu Jing thought for a moment: "But I don't have any particularly favorite pastries. I think the glutinous rice cakes Qin Huai makes are already very delicious, and the jujube paste yam cakes are also delicious."

"There must be one, think carefully."

Qu Jing tried hard to think and said not very surely: "Jujube paste yam-flavored glutinous rice cakes?" Qin Huai:...

Zheng Siyuan, I'm sorry. For the sake of the side quest, I must make a dish that goes against your ancestors.

"Is this flavor of glutinous rice cake a bit strange?" Qu Jing looked at Qin Huai a bit embarrassedly.

Qin Huai squeezed out a smile and shook his head firmly: "Not strange, not strange at all!"

After Luo Jun's physical therapy ended, Qu Jing sent the two all the way to the underground parking garage and watched them get in the car and leave.

After the car drove away from the hospital, Luo Jun said coldly in the passenger seat: "Why did Qu Jing explain the paper matter to you at the beginning?"

Qin Huai sighed in his heart that Luo Jun was indeed keen, and told all the conversations he heard at the door of the office and the chats with Qu Jing along the way.

Luo Jun leaned on the back of the chair and looked out the window: "What do you think?"

"I suspect Qu Jing doesn't have an ultraviolet allergy at all. She wraps herself tightly to cover up other things," Qin Huai said. "This thing she's covering up should be the secret you said she's hiding."

Luo Jun nodded slightly: "Much smarter than Chen Huihong."

Qin Huai:... No need to diss Chen Huihong like that.

"But Qu Jing wraps herself so tightly and makes up such a reasonable lie to deceive everyone, obviously she doesn't want to tell anyone. If we force her to ask, I'm afraid we will be directly blacklisted and cut off. If she doesn't say it, it's hard to discover this kind of secret," Qin Huai said.

"No one asked you to discover it now. Your primary task now is to produce the taste of her memory," Luo Jun said. "No one asked you to have a system shortcut and not use it, insisting on using our method."

"I've already transferred the money for the welfare institute. Next week, go to the welfare institute again as my heir, check the accounts, and incidentally get close to Director Qu."

"Aren't you the best at getting close? Make some buns, make those ugly fish and ugly flowers you've been making every day, and ask about the taste of what Qu Jing ate when she was a child."

"Don't just stare at my task. I said my side quest isn't important. Even if you finish the task and watch my memory, it's useless; I'm not amnesiac."

"Pay attention to Qu Jing's side quest. Didn't your task trigger? Oh, when my task triggered, you asked this and that, and plucked Little Zheng from Gusu to learn fruit-shaped pastries."

"When Qu Jing's task triggered, you were like nothing happened. Today, if I didn't ask, you wouldn't mention it."

"I tell you, when Qu Jing wakes up, her inheritance will still be yours after she dies. Chen Huihong is stingy, that's her; we normal spirits don't care about money."

As soon as Luo Jun finished speaking, the game prompt sounded in Qin Huai's mind.

"Ding, congratulations on completing the main quest 【Far Ahead 2】, obtaining task reward: Popularity Traffic +500, 【A segment of Luo Boyan's dream】... reward is being corrected..."

"Congratulations on obtaining task reward: Popularity Traffic +500, 【A segment of Luo Jun's memory】."

Qin Huai:?

Luo Jun found Qin Huai speechless and was a bit angry: "Speak!"

"... I have a question. Who is Luo Boyan? Do you know him?"

Now it was Luo Jun's turn to be speechless.

When Qin Huai looked at Luo Jun, Luo Jun slowly said: "When I first came to the human world, I gave myself a name I thought was particularly good-sounding, called Luo Boyan."

"Later I found that three characters were too hard to write. I don't like writing. At that time, a group of people called me Luo Jun, Luo Jun every day, so I changed my name to Luo Jun."

Qin Huai:...

Qin Huai felt that Luo Jun also had no right to diss Chen Huihong, a plant spirit, every day. You Bi Fang are even more outrageous.

Luo Jun soul-asked: "I only used the name Luo Boyan for one year. How did you know? Did you trigger a side quest again? Can you..."

"I completed the main quest," Qin Huai interrupted the spell. "The reward for the previous main quest was 【A segment of???'s dream】.??? should be Luo Boyan. Now the reward is automatically corrected and becomes 【A segment of Luo Jun's memory】."

"Your memory is complete."

Qin Huai looked at the road ahead and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I remember the last time I completed a task, it was also me driving and you sitting in the passenger seat. It seems I have to drive for you often in the future; maybe the task will be completed faster."

"Every time you drive, you really gain something!"

Luo Jun:? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
