The originally rather deserted street, with a single comment from Ruoshuang, "holy sh*t," suddenly attracted the attention of at least a dozen guys draped in military overcoats, all sporting lecherous expressions and looking every bit the part of pimps as they noticed Lin Hai.

Looking at the disposition of that group, it seemed like they were pondering soliciting, while also puzzledly gaping at Ruoshuang, someone murmured, "Where did this hostel find such a sprightly little sister?"

Seizing the opportunity when everyone's attention was on Tao Shuishui, Lin Hai zipped into the hostel at breakneck speed.

When those pimps returned their gaze, to their surprise, they found that Lin Hai had vanished without a trace.

Inside the dingy hotel room, a pungent musty odor caused Lin Hai to frown deeply.

"Seriously, you're from the Red Third Generation, a third-generation official, and you don't even go for a five-star hotel. Instead, you come to a place like this..." Lin Hai was at a loss for words.

Tao Shuishui rolled her eyes, "You think I wanted to come to this kind of place? Humph, if it wasn't for fear of being seen by them, I would never come here in my whole life."

"Them? Who are they?" Lin Hai noticed this detail and couldn't help but ask.

Tao Shuishui's expression shifted unnaturally, revealing a hint of subtle anger when she mentioned "them".

But as Lin Hai pressed on, she hesitated and stammered, not willing to answer.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect someone could actually bully Little Devil Star Tao, no mean feat there." Lin Hai fluttered his eyelids playfully.

Having been a seasoned veteran in the worldly society for many years, uh no, a wily old fox, how could Lin Hai not read the message in Tao Shuishui's eyes?

"Humph, as if I could be bullied. Even giving them ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare touch me, otherwise…" Tao Shuishui spoke with obviously false bravado, clearly just talking tough.

"Spill it, who's bullying you? Your almighty Dabang, spit spit, I'm currently the esteemed president of the Youming Ya Group, could help you obliterate your foes in minutes," Lin Hai said with a chuckle.

Tao Shuishui rolled her eyes again: "Don't think I don't know that your president gig is only temporary, and in a few days, you'll just be a little security guard again."

"Cough cough, there goes my breast enhancement," Lin Hai almost choked to death and pretends to turn away and leave.

"Don't go, I was just joking a moment ago."

Tao Shuishui hurriedly grabbed Lin Hai's sleeve, cooing sweet nothings.

Lin Hai smiled lightly, he was indeed just joking.

Since she was Tao Xia's cousin, he naturally couldn't let it stand if she was being bullied. Plus, Little Devil Star Tao was new to Huadu, and it was inevitable for her to encounter some school violence.

Don't think that just because she's a girl, she could study peacefully. The violence in schools is no less than that faced by boys, previously hidden in the shadows, now becoming more overt, as evident from the continuous stream of videos online about girl fights.

"Shuishui, who exactly is bullying you?" Lin Hai asked, curious.

"I won't say, not unless you first help me with the breast enhancement," Tao Shuishui's personality, persistent and stubborn, much like Tao Xia; once she set her mind to something, there was no changing it.

Lin Hai nodded, "Alright, since that's the case, tell me later, and maybe I can sort it out before I go to Yanjing."

"Mhm, breasts first." Tao Shuishui seemed to harbor a great grudge against her own flat "airfield," not wanting to wait another moment.

Lin Hai, meanwhile, was lost in thought about who the "they" Shuishui mentioned might be.

A "zip" sound—interrupted his thoughts.

Then, the sight that met his eyes was too glorious to gaze upon directly.

"Sh*t, you...you...you gonna be this ruthlessly direct and domineering?"

Lin Hai almost with superhuman reflexes, swiftly covered his eyes.

Sh*t, can't look, the girl just came of age, looking further would be a sin.

Annoyed, Shuishui's voice arose: "Dabang, enough with the nagging. Sister Chuqing said you used to be quite the charmer, but I find you even worse than a single migrant worker."

As she spoke, Shuishui grabbed Lin Hai's arm, and added: "Here I am, a girl ready to lay it all on the line, and you, an old uncle-level snack stick, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

Lin Hai was speechless, the openness of young girls these days just keeps increasing.

Is this how all art school students are? Or has Shuishui just arrived at the art school and been corrupted by unsavory influences?

And what Lin Hai found hardest to accept was that Shuishui's chest was... just too damn flat. A vast plain, where a hundred thousand grass-mud horses could gallop without tripping over a thing.

Even though he had superb medical skills and his acupuncture technique was unmatched, it wasn't something that worked miracles immediately, treatment needed to be gradual.

"Oh, and I also bought some Divine Medicine recently."

Saying so, Shuishui took out a beautifully packaged something from her little purse, seemingly a cosmetic product.

"What's this?" Lin Hai curiously asked.

"Linya Pharmaceutical's latest Divine Medicine, it can both beautify and enhance breasts."

Shuishui bragged as she shook the little bottle.

Sh*t, Linya Pharmaceutical? Wasn't that the pharmaceutical company he had established with Xiaoya and Hai Wuyan not too long ago?

"Humph, don't tell me you don't even pay attention to your own company?" Shuishui was dumbfounded. It seemed that aside from his lechery, Dabang lacked other hobbies, which truly made him seem like a hopeless case.

Only then did Lin Hai remember that he had indeed provided a few prescriptions to Hai Wuyan's side a while back.

Including those for women's beauty and breast enhancement.

Who would have thought that even Shuishui would become a customer of his own.

"The medicine is said to be really effective. Several of the rich and pretty girls in our class can't put it down, so I bought some too."

"With your medical skill, combined with this medicine, I'll definitely be able to bid farewell to my steamed bun days."

After speaking, Shuishui voluntarily lay on the bed.

"Come on." She closed her eyes, waiting for Lin Hai.

Lin Hai felt that in this scene, he didn't resemble a doctor, but more like a sleazy, despicable, lecherous, shameless old lecher.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Hai's index finger slowly straightened, as the Gang Qi in his body started circulating faster.

"We're starting, the process might be a bit unpleasant. Do not make any weird noises, being misunderstood wouldn't be good, especially since the soundproofing in these small motels is absolutely not up to par."

No sooner than Lin Hai had finished speaking, and just as he was ready to start the treatment, the next room erupted with sounds resembling water being struck, "pap pap pap", mixed with a woman's faint moans.

Sh*t, the soundproofing really is bad as expected.

He began directing his fingers towards the flat and tender little runway.

...

Elsewhere, a red flag sedan parked at the corner near this motel. Inside, Tao Xia listened to the driver's report and asked again: "Are you sure you saw Shuishui go into this motel just now?"

"Humph, little girl, daring to be a bad influence, sneaking off to meet with a boyfriend and even secretly booking a room."

"It's about time. Let's go in, we can't let her really do something with that bad boy. And here I was wondering why Shuishui has been so secretive lately, turns out it was puppy love."
