NOVPUBUpon hearing Han Jiaoyan’s voice, Wu Bin frantically tried to lock his phone screen.
But the more flustered a person becomes, the more likely they are to make mistakes.
Just as the phone locked, the volume somehow turned up to the max.
The moans of the Japanese teacher suddenly burst forth from the phone, reverberating throughout the entire ward.
Fuck!
This is nuts!
No way!
At that moment, Wu Bin felt his heartbeat soar to its peak, his blood rushing to his crown!
He tried to unlock his phone with his fingerprint, but no matter how many times he pressed his thumb onto the scanner, the phone kept prompting verification failure.
[Verification failed. Please try again after 30 seconds.]
Wu Bin: …
I’m freaking out here!
Clenching his teeth, Wu Bin lifted the blanket and furiously hurled his phone to the ground!
Bang!
The phone shattered on impact, and the teacher’s moaning stopped abruptly.
Wu Bin instantly felt the entire world quiet down.
However, it was only then that Wu Bin realized the ward was full of people at that moment.
Han Jiaoyan, He Bingbing, Yin Yourong, all looked at him with surprised eyes.
The photographer had originally just planned to get a shot of Wu Bin’s condition and then leave, as an update for the viewers in the live stream.
Who knew that upon entering, he would encounter such a thrilling spectacle.
"Wu Bin, you..."
The three women, Han Jiaoyan, blushed.
In their eyes, Wu Bin had always been an upright man.
Why would he watch this kind of stuff?
Stammering, Wu Bin said, "I... I was just browsing some web pages, and I accidentally clicked on a pop-up."
"I didn’t expect it to have this kind of content."
"Don’t get me wrong, I’m a very pure man, I never watch these kinds of adult romance films!"
For the first time, Wu Bin experienced what it’s like to dig yourself into a deeper hole.
If he never watched them before, how would he know it was an adult romance film?
Li Guotai was more experienced.
He walked up to Wu Bin, sighed deeply, and said, "Wu Bin, I know it’s difficult for you to accept the fact that you are no longer capable, and that’s why you resort to this extreme method to stimulate yourself."
"But the fact is the fact, no matter how you stimulate yourself, it’s useless."
"Don’t worry, we will continue to look for solutions for your condition, and I believe we will find a way to solve it soon!"
Originally, everyone was looking at Wu Bin with weird eyes.
But now, with Li Guotai’s interpretation, Wu Bin’s actions suddenly stepped out of lowbrow humor and became something quite nobler!
Yes, for a man who has just lost his ’basket’, it’s only normal to not accept this reality for a while and secretly check out such content when there’s no one around, right?
Far from disgusting, Wu Bin’s actions made everyone feel a tinge of heartache.
After all, to lose the happiness of your later life just by playing basketball, and holding on to the last sliver of hope to try and awaken something, what’s wrong with that?
Having realized this, Han Jiaoyan and He Bingbing both lowered their heads in shame.
Wu Bin was already this miserable, and yet they had...
Han Jiaoyan took the initiative to walk over and take Wu Bin’s hand, saying, "I’m sorry, Wu Bin, I shouldn’t have thought of you in such a vulgar way just now."
"I didn’t realize you were a patient, I’m really sorry."
Wu Bin found Han Jiaoyan’s apology amusing and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
It’s not about that, sis. Don’t switch your attitude so fast; I can’t keep up!
Wu Bin had been ready to die of embarrassment, but a single comment from Li Guotai saved him.
How do they say it? Wisdom comes with age.
That old guy’s got something up his sleeve.
Wu Bin said somewhat awkwardly, "It’s really nothing, I was just curious before."
"Director Li is right. I just can’t accept the reality for now, but I’ll be fine after some time."
Hearing Wu Bin say this, the netizens in the live broadcast were moved to tears.
"At a time like this, he’s actually comforting us instead, he’s really... I’m gonna cry!"
"It’s just like my uncle, who lost a leg in a car accident. At first, he didn’t adapt either and thought his leg was still there, but he would fall every time he tried to get out of bed."
"This condition should be called phantom limb in medical terms, right? I remember reading about it in a medical journal. It said that after surgery, amputees often forget their limbs are gone and can even still feel pain and touch. Even science can’t explain this phenomenon."
"That’s right, it’s called phantom limb phenomenon in medicine. I just didn’t expect Brother Wu to experience it with his... well, that’s just too tragic."
He Bingbing came over, with red eyes she said, "Don’t worry Wu Bin, we won’t ignore you just because you’re injured. We can still be best sisters, or even best girlfriends."
"Huh?"
Wu Bin felt his brain wasn’t functioning properly.
What’s going on here?
Because I got ’basketed,’ I can be your best sister and best girlfriend?
That sounds... not too bad, actually!
Yin Yourong came over and placed a freshly made lunchbox beside Wu Bin.
"It’s all your favorite dishes. Eat up to gain some strength."
Yin Yourong had a knowing smile as she looked at Wu Bin, her words layered with meanings.
Li Guotai had already informed her about Wu Bin’s condition.
So naturally, Yin Yourong knew exactly why Wu Bin was tucked under the blanket watching that kind of video.
Yin Yourong couldn’t help but look at Wu Bin a second time.
Typical of a teenager: all that pent-up energy.
She had only left the room for two minutes, and Wu Bin could no longer resist.
This just showed how good Wu Bin’s physical condition was and how quickly he was recovering.
Wu Bin took the lunchbox from Yin Yourong with a guilty conscience and thanked her.
Li Guotai waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, alright. There’s nothing to see here. Wu Bin needs to rest and recover for the next while, and none of you should disturb him."
With a wave from Li Guotai, the team of experts and the camera crew who were standing behind him all turned and left.
Even Han Jiaoyan and He Bingbing didn’t linger in the ward any longer, leaving after saying goodbye to Wu Bin.
"Yourong, step out for a bit, I have something to say to Wu Bin."
Yin Yourong nodded, packed up her things, and then turned and left.
For a moment, only Wu Bin and Li Guotai were left in the ward.
Li Guotai looked at the pieces of the smashed phone on the floor and couldn’t help but laugh.
"You young people, always so impulsive. That smartphone was quite expensive, right? Doesn’t it hurt to just smash it like that?"
Wu Bin said with feigned righteousness, "Bone and body turn to dust without fear, as long as honor remains in the world!"
Li Guotai laughed even harder. Here was Wu Bin talking about honor with him, this thick-skinned guy.
If Li Guotai hadn’t stepped in to save the situation just now, Wu Bin would have been doomed to social death!
