174: The video of "The Light Bulb Candy" (Chapter 174) surpassed three million views last night.

6:40 AM.

Lu Chen's biological clock woke him up right on time.

After washing up, he changed into his white coat.

When he walked out of the Duty Room, Shen Xiaoning was already standing in the hallway holding a thermos.

"Morning!"

Shen Xiaoning's ponytail was tied high, and she looked incredibly energetic.

"Today it's century egg and lean meat porridge, plus two pan-fried dumplings. Eat it while it's hot."

Lu Chen took the thermos and opened the lid.

The porridge was cooked thick, the century egg was chopped into small pieces, the shredded lean meat was evenly distributed, and it was topped with a layer of chopped green onions.

The pan-fried dumplings were golden on both sides, with a thin, crispy crust on the bottom.

"Delicious."

"Can you use a different word?"

"Extra delicious."

Shen Xiaoning rolled her eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Fine, eat slowly. I'm going to the Yellow Zone for the shift handover."

"Mm."

Shen Xiaoning turned and ran away, her ponytail swinging twice before disappearing around the corner of the hallway.

Lu Chen finished the porridge and the dumplings, tidied up the thermos, placed it at the Nurse Station, and then walked into the Red Zone to start the shift handover.

The handover went smoothly. Sun Ji from the night shift clearly explained the situation of the few observation patients, and there was nothing particularly thorny.

Lu Chen took over the work, sat down, and began to review the medical orders and medical records.

7:30 AM.

Zhao Yaqin pushed the door open and came in.

"Morning."

"Morning, Sister Zhao."

Zhao Yaqin glanced at him, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"That Lightbulb Candy video of yours hit 3 million views last night."

"Oh."

"That's all you have to say?"

"What else?"

Zhao Yaqin pushed up her glasses.

"You should prepare yourself mentally today. Starting yesterday afternoon, people began specifically registering to see you in the Green Zone. It's estimated there will be even more today."

Lu Chen looked up at her.

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly what it sounds like. The girl specifically registers for an Emergency Department appointment, claims to have pain here and discomfort there, and then specifically requests Dr. Lu to examine her."

"I'm in the Red Zone. They won't be able to find me if they register for the Green Zone."

"They can't find you, but they keep asking and pestering the doctors in the Green Zone about your whereabouts. Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Wang in the Green Zone was asked no less than twenty times."

Lu Chen frowned.

"Has this happened before?"

"Yes, but not this exaggerated. Before, it was at most a few. Yesterday afternoon, over a dozen came all at once. The Green Zone is almost unable to handle the queue."

"I have no relationship with them."

"You have no relationship with them, but your face does."

After saying this, even Zhao Yaqin found it a bit funny.

"Alright, just pay attention. Don't go over to the Green Zone to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Lu Chen nodded and didn't say anything more.

He didn't understand this behavior, but he couldn't control it either.

All he could manage were the patients in his own hands.

The Red Zone operated as usual in the morning.

At 8:10 AM, a middle-aged male with acute pancreatitis was brought in by ambulance.

Lu Chen assisted Zhao Yaqin in completing fluid resuscitation and analgesic treatment before transferring him to the Department of Gastroenterology.

At 9:00 AM, a three-year-old child with febrile convulsions was carried in by a parent. After a quick assessment, Lu Chen performed fever reduction and anti-convulsion treatments. The child stabilized quickly and was transferred to Pediatrics.

At 10:20 AM, a construction worker fell from a ladder. He had three fractured ribs on the left side complicated by a small hemothorax. After Lu Chen finished the treatment, he was transferred to the Department of Thoracic Surgery.

None of the cases were complex, but every case was contributing experience points to the system.

Lu Chen continued to flip through the Emergency Medicine textbook in his spare moments, chewing through it page by page.

11:00 AM.

Nurse Sun Tiantian from the Green Zone ran over to the Red Zone.

"Dr. Lu, can you help go to the Green Zone and take a look?"

"What's wrong?"

"There's a man causing trouble in the Green Zone."

Lu Chen put down his book.

"What kind of trouble?"

Sun Tiantian pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, looking a bit troubled.

"It sounds quite ridiculous. There's a man, the kind with dyed yellow hair. After coming in, he didn't register or see a doctor; he just stood at the Triage Desk and cursed."

"Cursing whom?"

"Cursing you."

Lu Chen was stunned.

"Cursing me?"

"Yes. He said his girlfriend watches your videos every day, saying how handsome and capable you are, which infuriated him. Then today, he broke up with his girlfriend. He thinks it's your fault, so he came here to settle the score with you."

Lu Chen was silent for two seconds.

"Do I know his girlfriend?"

"No."

"Has she ever come to see me for medical treatment?"

"No, she hasn't."

"Then what does that have to do with me?"

"That's why everyone thinks it's ridiculous, because it has nothing to do with you."

Sun Tiantian sighed helplessly.

"Security has already gone over, but the man won't leave and keeps cursing."

"He's very loud, and several patients waiting in the Green Zone have been disturbed."

Zhao Yaqin heard this too and walked over.

"What's the situation?"

Sun Tiantian repeated the story.

Zhao Yaqin's expression gradually became indescribable.

"Because his girlfriend watches your videos, he came to settle the score with you?"

"I don't understand it either."

"What kind of people are there in this world."

Zhao Yaqin thought for a moment.

"Don't go, let security handle it."

"I wasn't planning on going."

"Alright, continue reading."

Lu Chen sat back down and opened the textbook.

But not long after, Meng Yan walked in from outside.

"Lu Chen, you've heard about the yellow-haired guy, right?"

"I have."

"Security has been trying to persuade him to leave for a long time, but he won't. He says he wants to see you, and if he doesn't see you, he won't leave."

"Then let him stand there."

Meng Yan was amused by his words.

"That's true, but he's making a scene in the Green Zone, disturbing other patients. Plus, he's recording videos, saying he's going to post your dirt online."

"What dirt do I have?"

"He says you seduced someone else's girlfriend."

Lu Chen looked up at Meng Yan.

"Sister Meng, I don't even know what his girlfriend looks like."

"I know, but he doesn't care about that. He just thinks you're in the wrong."

Zhao Yaqin couldn't listen anymore from the side.

"This kind of person is purely making unreasonable trouble. Let's call the police."

"We already did, but the police haven't arrived yet."

Just then, a louder commotion came from the Green Zone.

Lu Chen frowned and stood up.

"I'll go take a look."

"Why are you going? Don't pay attention to him."

Zhao Yaqin blocked him.

"What if he sees you and makes an even bigger scene?"

"There are still patients waiting in the Green Zone. If he keeps making a scene like this, it will affect the normal order of medical treatment."

After saying this, Lu Chen bypassed Zhao Yaqin and walked towards the Green Zone.

Zhao Yaqin chased after him for two steps, but ultimately followed him.

Green Zone.

From afar, he could see the yellow-haired guy.

A young man in his early twenties with hair dyed bright yellow.

He was wearing a flashy short-sleeved shirt and had a silver chain hanging around his neck.

He was standing in front of the Triage Desk, one hand on his hip, the other pointing in the direction of the Nurse Station, his voice loud enough for the whole Green Zone to hear.

"I'm telling you, have that Lu guy come out and give me an explanation to my face!"

The Nurse at the Triage Desk had already retreated to the side, and two security guards stood before him, one persuading him while the other blocked him.

"Sir, this is a Hospital. If you have any requests, you can go to the complaints window."

"I'm not going to any complaints window, I want to see him!"

"You cannot interfere with other patients seeking medical treatment here."

"None of my business! My girlfriend broke up with me because of him! What is he pretending to be online? Is he even a good person?"
