144: Chapter 144 Misdiagnosis? Confirmed!

The old man held the report and looked it over again and again, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. After five minutes, he shook his head and sighed, "This shouldn't be! It's truly strange."

As soon as these words were spoken, the tiny flicker of hope that had finally reignited in Brother Chao's eyes was puffed out instantly.

Only numbness remained in his eyes... No, it should be said that his entire being was like a walking corpse.

Just like that, the old man called Brother Chao back to the examination room and asked him to take off his pants for a re-examination. This time, Brother Chao lacked his earlier bashfulness; he numbly and quickly took off his pants, standing in place, head tilted, staring listlessly at the azure sky outside the window, allowing himself to be handled.

Chen Sheng intended to offer a few words of comfort, but the words wouldn't come out when they reached his lips.

After a long while, all his words turned into a silent sigh, "Sigh~~"

On the scene, the old man began to examine him again.

This time, he was incredibly careful and focused, rubbing and observing inch by inch. However, as time passed, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The atmosphere in the entire examination room became extremely oppressive at that moment.

Until...

The old man's gaze locked onto Brother Chao's blue underwear. His eyes instantly lit up. "Quick, get me a few cotton swabs, and make sure they are dipped in alcohol disinfectant."

The Young Doctor received the instruction and hurriedly took an opened pack of cotton swabs from the desk drawer. He quickly pulled out a handful, about five or six, and then rummaged for a bottle of alcohol disinfectant. After opening it, he dipped the entire tips of the swabs into the disinfectant. Once the tips were saturated, the Young Doctor quickly took them out and handed them to the old man, "Grandmaster!"

The old man took the cotton swabs and separated one to wipe Comrade Xiao Chao. Soon, a magical scene occurred: the spot where the cotton swab touched Comrade Xiao Chao turned from white to blue.

The old man separated another cotton swab, this time rubbing it against Brother Chao's underwear. When the swab was taken away, the white cotton swab had also turned blue.

However, the latter color was slightly deeper than the former.

Seeing this, the old man secretly breathed a long sigh of relief. After all, with so many disciples and grand-disciples watching, he had his reputation to maintain!

His originally serious expression was instantly replaced by a gentle smile. The old man stood up and signaled for Brother Chao to put his pants back on. "Young man, where did you buy these underwear?"

Brother Chao, whose thoughts had long since drifted away, subconsciously questioned, "Huh?"

"I asked, where did you buy these blue underwear?" the old man repeated.

"Online. Nine-point-nine for ten pairs, free shipping. What's wrong?" Brother Chao, not knowing what state of mind he was in, didn't forget to add at the end, "Doctor, do you want the link?"

Chen Sheng: "..."

Chen Sheng covered his forehead.

He was speechless. At a time like this, he still didn't forget to promote products to others.

Besides, how could he be embarrassed to say nine-point-nine for ten pairs of underwear?

Chen Sheng hurriedly reminded him, "Brother Chao, be serious. We are seeing a doctor right now."

"Oh, oh~" Upon being reminded, Brother Chao seemed to finally come back to his senses. His numb expression was instantly filled with sorrow, and he pleaded, "Doctor, can we talk about my illness first? Let's talk about the underwear later."

"Isn't that exactly what I'm talking about?" the old man asked confidently. "I ask you, when did the itching down there first start?"

"About four or five days ago," Brother Chao hesitated. "At first it was only a little itchy, and I didn't pay attention. Until three days ago, it became very itchy down there, and the color changed."

The old man nodded and asked again, "Then when did the underwear you bought online arrive, and when did you wear it? Do you remember?"

Brother Chao thought for a moment before answering, "The underwear also arrived four or five days ago. I changed into the new underwear the day it arrived, and I changed it once midway."

"That's it then." The old man held up the two used cotton swabs he had been holding. "Look at the color on the swabs. Therefore, I judge that the discoloration is because the underwear is losing dye."

"WTF!" Hearing this conclusion, Chen Sheng couldn't hold it together on the spot. He widened his eyes, looking at Brother Chao in shock.

Not just Chen Sheng, it should be said that except for the old man, everyone present was shocked by the old man's conclusion. They looked at Brother Chao in shock, countless question marks floating in their eyes, silently asking Brother Chao over and over, "You didn't know this underwear loses dye?"

In a flash, Brother Chao's face turned crimson.

This was from shame.

In a flash, the Young Doctor and the Middle-aged Doctor also turned crimson.

They were "annoyed" that they had been troubled by such a simple problem.

"Then doctor, what about the itching down there?" Brother Chao asked with a flushed face.

"That's even easier to explain. Skin allergies, redness, swelling, and itching are all main symptoms of skin allergies. If nothing unexpected, the material of this underwear is synthetic fiber, and synthetic fiber itself very easily causes skin allergies."

"And the blue of the underwear, I suspect this blue was dyed using industrial dyes." The old man said while signaling for Brother Chao to take off his pants again.

Brother Chao took off his pants quickly again without any burden.

Then, the old man waved at the crowd of onlookers, "Everyone, come closer. This case is a case that is very easy to misdiagnose. It is very significant, everyone should observe it well."

Brother Chao: "Are you polite?"

Without waiting for Brother Chao to refuse, a crowd of people had already crowded over. The way they looked at Comrade Xiao Chao, that gaze, that seriousness...

Tsk tsk...

Chen Sheng: "..."

Is he being used as a teaching prop?

Alright, he was indeed being used as a teaching prop.

Just like that, a girl wearing a white coat raised her hand after observing for a while, "Master, why is the staining situation only deeper in the front part compared to other parts?"

"That is because other parts are wrapped by skin tissue. Right, who will tell me about the structure of this tissue? Let me see how your anatomy is!"

Chen Sheng: "..."

Sensing the look of help from Brother Chao, Chen Sheng helplessly shrugged.

He was helpless!

No, even if he could help, he definitely wouldn't speak up right now. Even, if it weren't for fear of censorship, he would even want to take out his phone to record this wonderful life.

Brother Chao: "..."

Actually, he didn't know what state of mind he was in right now.

There was joy, that was certain. After all, not having that disease meant he wouldn't die, which in itself was huge good news.

There was shame, that was also certain. Being surrounded by so many people, and having so many people visit Comrade Xiao Chao, that wolf-like gaze made his back feel cold.

Of course, there were other unspeakable and unclear emotions.

Intertwined, they made his expression look particularly twisted at this moment.

Fortunately, the teaching time wasn't long. About a quarter of an hour later, the old man signaled again that Brother Chao could pull up his pants. Brother Chao immediately put his pants on and nimbly tied a dead knot in his belt, telling everyone with his actions that if they wanted him to take off his pants again...

Like hell!

The old man finished the teaching, put his hands behind his back, and instructed the Young Doctor, "Treat this as a bacterial infection. Do you understand bacterial infections?"

The Young Doctor hurriedly said, "Grandmaster, I know this."

The old man suspiciously sized up the Young Doctor. When his gaze met that look of clear stupidity, the old man looked at the Middle-aged Doctor on the side and said in a serious tone, "You stay and watch over it."

"Understood!" The Middle-aged Doctor hurriedly nodded.

The old man smiled at Brother Chao and said, "Young man, don't worry, this disease isn't that serious. As long as you follow the doctor's orders and take the medicine on time, the symptoms will disappear soon."

After admonishing Brother Chao, the old man put his hands behind his back and, with the demeanor of an expert, led a group of underlings out of the examination room.

Sending off the old man, without waiting for the Young Doctor to speak, the Middle-aged Doctor sat down behind the consultation desk and said to Brother Chao, "After examination, your condition is diagnosed as an infection. I will prescribe you some anti-inflammatory drugs and XX ointment for external application. Also, pay attention to hygiene. In about 3 days, the symptoms should disappear significantly. Come back for a re-examination in 7 days."

After a pause, he continued, "For the next follow-up, just register for the Dermatology Department."

After some clattering on the computer, the machine next to him spat out a payment slip. The Middle-aged Doctor handed the payment slip to Brother Chao, "Alright, you can take the payment slip to pay and get the medicine."

Brother Chao hurriedly took the slip and thanked him, "Thank you! Thank you, doctor."

"Sorry for the trouble, doctor." Chen Sheng also thanked him, and the two then left the examination room.

After walking out of the examination room, Chen Sheng, walking behind Brother Chao, immediately kicked Brother Chao in the butt, sending him stumbling.

"What are you doing?" Brother Chao asked, grimacing in confusion.

"WTF! You dare ask me what I'm doing?"
