Chapter 48: Great, my fist is hard.
"I've performed surgery on you so many times, I obviously know you're type B blood. Is there a problem?"
Wu Bin explained, "What I mean is, do we have enough type B blood in our city? If I need a priority transfusion, what procedures are required?"
Lu Changshi found Wu Bin incomprehensibly strange.
Li Guotai seemed to remember something.
"Are you having another premonition?"
Wu Bin was nearly in tears.
"Never mind that, what's most important right now is, can I get a priority transfusion?"
Li Guotai nodded.
"You have a special status, so naturally, you can get a priority transfusion."
"Our country's blood bank reserves are very sufficient; it doesn't matter if you're type B or even have 'panda blood'—there's enough."
With that statement from Li Guotai, Wu Bin was finally reassured.
As long as the reserves are sufficient and I can get a priority transfusion, that's fine.
Li Guotai said to Wu Bin, "I heard you're going out to travel? Have you decided where to go yet?"
Wu Bin shook his head.
"I'm not going anymore; I'll just stay in the hospital."
Ding.
[The system detects the host trying to exploit loopholes, warning the host to live normally, otherwise the host will immediately die]
Damn!
F*ck!
That's harsh!
Wu Bin was so angry he was about to explode.
Alright, you won't let me stay in the hospital, right?
Then I'll just squat at the hospital entrance, that should be fine, right?!
Ding.
[The system detects the host's persistent intentions to exploit loopholes]
[The system has selected a travel destination for the host. Please arrive within the designated time and check in]
[If you exceed the check-in time, you will immediately die]
[The check-in location has been displayed; please confirm as soon as possible]
Goddamn it!
Completing the Five Great Mountains in five days?
Are you even human, system?
The system did not respond to Wu Bin; only the countdown had started.
Wu Bin didn't dare to delay even a minute, hurriedly standing up to get dressed.
"Quick, Director Li, process my discharge!"
Li Guotai was stunned.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to stay in the hospital?"
Wu Bin was extremely anxious.
"I can't stay! If I stay any longer, there will be deaths!"
"Hurry up and process my discharge; I need to travel now, there's no time to waste!"
Li Guotai didn't know what was going on with Wu Bin, but since he said so, Li Guotai naturally processed the hospital discharge as quickly as possible.
Leaving the hospital, Wu Bin went straight to the high-speed train station.
The photography team and medical staff were all baffled.
"Wu Bin, where are we traveling to? You have to give us some time to arrange things,"
"There's no time!"
Wu Bin said seriously, "We must finish climbing the Five Great Mountains within five days, otherwise I'm dead."
Completing the Five Great Mountains in five days?
Are you kidding?
He Bingbing advised, "Wu Bin, I can understand your desire to get away, but isn't five days too rushed? Didn't Dean Xu approve a fifteen-day leave for you?"
Fifteen days?
By that time, I'd have been gone for seven days!
Wu Bin shook his head.
"No, we only have five days, now there are only 119 hours 41 minutes 51 seconds left."
"If we exceed this time, it counts as a failure."
These words made He Bingbing utterly puzzled.
"Isn't this a bit too strict, brother?"
"And what's with this countdown? Sometimes it's zero, sometimes whole. Are you always this punctual?"
Seeing Wu Bin's resolute attitude, the group knew better than to haggle with him.
So He Bingbing reported to the TV station and then directly bought the tickets and followed Wu Bin onto the bus.
Initially, some of the other staff members were somewhat reluctant.
After all, with no warning at all, how could they suddenly be sent on a business trip?
But upon hearing that the TV station would reimburse all expenses, the staff members immediately became happy.
Reimbursement? Public-funded travel? Who wouldn't like that?
So, without realizing the severity of the situation, they boarded the bus and began smoking, playing cards, chatting, and some even started looking up strategies for mountain climbing.
He Bingbing sat next to Wu Bin, originally intending to ask why he had made such a sudden decision.
But as soon as Wu Bin got on the bus, he took out his 'guarantee', chose a comfortable position, and fell asleep directly.
This left He Bingbing feeling a bit awkward.
"Wu Bin, the best part of traveling is the scenery along the way. Aren't you planning to enjoy the view for a while?"
"No time."
Wu Bin seriously said, "I advise you to sleep for a bit too. Otherwise, you might not be able to handle the intense trek after we get off."
"Also, you should change those high heels. Buy a pair of sports shoes after we get off, the more comfortable, the better."
After saying this, Wu Bin simply lay down and fell asleep.
He Bingbing was stunned.
From Wu Bin's words, was there going to be a fierce battle after they got off?
The photographer, Chen Feng, still hadn't grasped the severity of the situation. He smiled at He Bingbing and said, "Bingbing, since he's asleep, why don't you rest a bit too? Go and chat with Liu Hua and the others first."
In Chen Feng's view, climbing the Five Great Mountains in five days was just a whim of Wu Bin.
Young people, right? They are indeed a bit impulsive at the start.
Once he truly starts climbing, he'll realize how painful and unrealistic it is to climb the Five Great Mountains in five days.
Chen Feng's suggestion was good, but He Bingbing shook her head.
"No thanks, Chen. I might as well take a nap too. There's not much else to do anyway."
Having interacted with Wu Bin for so long, He Bingbing knew he wouldn't harm her.
Since Wu Bin suggested a nap, why not take one?
He Bingbing took out a pillow and resting it on the table, sprawled over it just like Wu Bin.
However, as she looked at Wu Bin's face, He Bingbing suddenly felt her heart racing.
This might not be the same bed, but it should count as sharing a pillow, right?
Aiyo, He Bingbing, what are you thinking? How shameless!
Embarrassed, He Bingbing buried most of her face into the pillow, yet she sneakily left one eye out, peeping at Wu Bin.
Wu Bin, who was trying to sleep, felt something was off. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was startled by He Bingbing.
My god!
Can you imagine that sight?
Her long hair covered most of her face, and with half of her face buried in the pillow, only one eye was visible!
The scariest part was that He Bingbing was even smiling at him!
That's terrifying, sis!
Who taught you to sleep with your eyes open?
If my heart were missing even a single artery, you would have scared me to death.
In the same carriage, at the same table, with the same sleeping posture.
But the two were in completely different styles.
On He Bingbing's side, it was a tender and sweet romance.
On Wu Bin's side, it was like a horror movie with a ghost in the train carriage.
Wu Bin felt that being stared at by He Bingbing like this, he'd eventually be haunted by spirits.
He took out an eye mask and considerately helped He Bingbing put it on.
"Here, I'll give you my eye mask. Have a good sleep, and face the other way."
Seeing Wu Bin personally putting the eye mask on her, He Bingbing's heart fluttered.
What does he mean?
Could he possibly like her?
Or was he creating an opportunity for physical contact?
He Bingbing shook her head shyly and said softly, "No need, I prefer to sleep facing this way."
Upon hearing He Bingbing's response, Wu Bin tensed up.
