Chapter 276: Chapter 243 Call Me Big Brother Shinjiro

Yang Tao was awakened by a chill...

Just as she opened her eyes, she couldn’t help but shiver.

What’s going on?

What did this bone-chilling feeling creeping up from the bottom of her heart mean?

It was only October, it shouldn’t be this cold.

Unable to resist, she tightened her thin space blanket around herself, and as Yang Tao turned over, she caught Jiang Xiao’s idiotic gaze.

"Big sister, didn’t you say you liked cold drinks? Here, I got you two more bottles of something cold."

"Oh, thanks."

Yang Tao gave him a grateful smile, then planned to continue sleeping.

Five seconds later,

Wait!

(•’╻’•)꒳ᵒ꒳ᵎᵎᵎ

Yang Tao abruptly sat up in bed.

Holy crap!

Why was it so damn cold?!

The hospital hadn’t actually hooked her up to cold water; instead, they had wrapped two ice packs around the infusion tube.

Just like they would wrap a hot water bottle around the tube in the winter to prevent the water from freezing!

She wanted to know, which genius thought of this?

Oh, right, she was getting senile; the main culprit had already confessed.

"Are you trying to kill me?"

The smile that had been on Yang Tao’s face finally faded.

"I’m not trying to die, I was just missing you."

Jiang Xiao scratched his head bashfully, his cheeks flushing red.

Really?

What a cheesy pick-up line, nearly made Yang Tao vomit on the spot, thinking to herself that the boy looked okay, but he was definitely not bright.

"From now on, this very moment, immediately, please stay away from me! Don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, and definitely don’t get me any fluids. I don’t need them!"

Disappointed, Jiang Xiao turned away, becoming totally emo.

"There’s no doubt, you must be terminally ill, right? Saying all this because you want me to stay away, so you can quietly pass away on your own, huh?"

Geez!

Really, what a person!

"Didn’t your mom ever teach you how to behave? Are you out of your mind? There might be many people I could fall for in my lifetime, but you are definitively not one of them!"

"Uh, well, I actually lost my parents when I was young, and, well, maybe because I grew up in a mental hospital..."

Hmm?

A real orphan?

And a mentally challenged one at that?

Yang Tao wanted to retort but her words got stuck in her throat.

Bro, are you trying to kill me?

Tsk!

Damn!

Even more annoying!

"My time is precious, we’re not suitable for each other. Actually, uh, forget it, I’m going to sleep now."

"Okay...that’s really too bad. I thought ten thousand gold pieces could buy me a lunch with you. Gorky was right—money can’t buy love."

Huh?!!

Seeing Jiang Xiao actually pulling out a shiny golden ticket.

Yang Tao’s body stiffened once again.

Why?

What is with the world today? Every single thing happening was throwing her slightly dubious morals into chaos.

"Bro, actually, I think we could get along, cough, you, if you don’t mind, we could give it a try."

Ten thousand bucks!

How many old men would she have to service to save up that much?

Exactly.

Her line of work made money fast, true, but not as ridiculous as ten thousand for a meal!

Even gold-encrusted diamonds didn’t fetch that price!

Forget the mental issues, even if he was a homeless guy, Yang Tao could serve him to his utmost satisfaction!

Suddenly, Yang Tao squinted her eyes, a spark of cunning flashing through them, and the next second, she removed the needle and positioned herself behind Jiang Xiao.

...

Live streaming room: ?????

"Bro, how’s this strength? Do you want it a bit stronger?"

"Mmm, just follow your rhythm, just call me Shinjiro. By the way, do you like little bear cookies?"

"Yup, bro, anything you like, I like too. Later, I’ll bring some hot water, let you experience the award-winning skills of a gold-medal foot therapist!"

"You have more tricks up your sleeve?"

"Of course! If you’re free tonight, bro, let me treat you to the Emperor’s 5999 all-in-one package!"

"Uh, isn’t that too expensive? I’m still young, not very knowledgeable about market prices, don’t con me."

"Not expensive at all, as long as you’re happy, little Tao Tao will be happy too!"

"Uh, you really love me then. Here’s another ten thousand for you. Keep the change to buy some Donggan Superman merchandise, my treat."

"Thanks, bro! Bro, you’re the most suave, attractive, and wise man I’ve ever met!"

Yang Tao completely turned into a bootlicker, catching and fiercely flattering him!

Damn...

In the Dragon Country live stream, silence engulfed the room once again.

People who didn’t dare speak and those who reveled in life, well, Spirit truly had a tight grip on that.

Just yesterday, many had been envious of the bearded man who’d been living a shameless life like a tyrant.

But when compared to Yang Tao, the "professional player" serving Jiang Xiao, even security and nurses combined fell short!

"5999? Don’t understand, just ask, what level of package is this? Is Jiang Xiao going to be over the moon now?"

"Damn it! This freaking craftsmanship... Old man’s getting jealous here!"

"Not envious of lovebirds, nor of immortals, just envious of Spirit every single day."

"Your life, my dream; your package, my pain!"

"Mu Xitang, Mu Xitang! Your dad’s going whoring tonight! Aren’t you going to do something about it?!"

The comments were becoming utterly acidic.

Anyone could sense the sourness pervading Dragon Country’s live stream.

Could it be that Jiang Xiao looked down on the nurse?

Besides amateur massages and preparing some fruit platters, what else did the nurse know?

Did she know foot therapy?

Did she know the Dragon Maneuver?

Not even close to a single finger of Yang Tao.

"Damn, can’t stand watching anymore, how is this even like ’Analog Horror’? With Jiang Xiao’s planning, isn’t he just purely planning to spend the next three days enjoying himself in a foot therapy parlor?"

What about the bearded man?

Everyone switched to the Bear Country’s live stream.

The nurse, acting all coy, reminded the bearded man that it was time for his IV.

Yet, she did so with extreme humility and a very gentle tone.

Careful not to upset the big sponsor in front of her.

"Oh, is that so?"

The bearded man raised his bushy eyebrows.

He wasn’t going to get the IV, that was clear; the rules clearly stated, this thing hanging from him was definitely more harmful than beneficial.

"Who told me to get the IV?"

"It... It was Dr. Qin Shou’s orders, he said it was ’time.’"

"Dr. Qin? Bring him here. I want to ask him today if this IV is really necessary."

Quickly,

Dr. Qin Shou, wearing a white coat and stepping briskly, walked in.

"Sir, considering your condition, this IV should still..."

"Now?"

The bearded man slipped a few tickets silently into Dr. Qin Shou’s pocket while speaking.

Wow!

Didn’t see that coming, did ya? This rough guy knows how it’s done?

Lad seems to understand the rules quite well!

That thickness of the stack... Just a quick look was enough for Dr. Qin Shou to know that actually, this IV... wasn’t really necessary~

Not only was the IV needless, from now on, he had to smooth the path for him.

After all, receiving tips from such a high-profile patron was much more lucrative than following the hospital director’s orders to hang some unethical fake drugs.

There you go!

Nothing much to see on the bearded man’s side.

Next, next.

Go to the little sprout’s?

Hmm, speaking of which, only hers remained a genuine Kaidan.

At that moment, the little sprout was also hooked up to an IV.

She definitely had the ability to dodge this part using her supernatural skills.

However, thinking about meeting the little boy soon, she decided to endure it. After all, there were three hours of cool-down time, and she couldn’t afford to misuse her "talents" as casually as Jiang Xiao did.

As for the old man by her side...

He was still muttering about wanting to see his grandson.

Little sprout even asked the nurse why, despite the old man being paralyzed, his family hadn’t come to see him.

The nurse’s response was identical to the memory little sprout had seen the night before.

The old man was hospitalized because after drinking heavily, he’d fallen face-first, leading directly to a cerebral hemorrhage.

Even the call to 120 was made by a stranger passing by.

It was only because the old man’s health insurance and savings were substantial that the hospital had agreed to treat him urgently.

As for the old man’s children.

The hospital found out where they were through the old man’s ID information.

But it was clear they didn’t want to deal with him and just abandoned the old man in the hospital.

Little sprout nodded thoughtfully...

Following the usual motives of ’Analog Horror,’

I wouldn’t be surprised if this Kaidan was somehow related to the frequent negative emotions in the hospital.

The main themes being the indifference of human relationships and the shallowness of family ties.

If the old man was abandoned by his children,

Could it be that the little boy was abandoned by his parents too?

Thinking this, little sprout slowly began to understand.

Seems like it’s figured out...

"I got it."

Sakura Live Stream.

"You got it again?"
