Su Chu and the other two quickly turned off their phones and followed, their hearts filled with concern and anxiety.

However, when Su Chang got closer, she found that a girl had already run over ahead of her. Su Chang was stunned when she saw the girl's familiar face and called out softly, "Dr. Song?"

Hearing someone call her name, Song Xingchen was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Su Chang and said with a surprised expression, "Su Chang, you're here too."

Su Chang nodded, a hint of concern in her eyes, and said softly, "Dr. Song, what are you doing here?"

Song Xingchen's expression turned serious. As she walked toward the girl, she replied, "Let's not talk about this now. I'll go check on the patient's condition first."

Su Chang nodded and followed closely behind, his brows furrowed slightly as he secretly worried about the girl's condition.

Upon reaching the girl's side, Su Chang and Song Xingchen began to inquire about her situation.

The woman's face was full of anxiety and worry. Her voice trembled as she said, "I am her mother. She has mild asthma. She just bought some grilled lamb skewers from a roadside vendor while I was shopping for clothes, and then she had an attack and fainted. Please, please save her."

Song Xingchen didn't dare to delay. Her gaze was focused and firm as she immediately began to examine the girl. Her fingers gently touched the girl's pulse, while carefully observing the girl's breathing and complexion.

After examining Su Chang, Song Xingchen said, "It can be basically determined that the food triggered his asthma, causing difficulty breathing and leading to fainting."

Su Chang calmly said, "Then you should give her artificial respiration first. I'll call 120 and ask the onlookers to keep their distance so that the patient can breathe fresh air."

Song Xingchen immediately nodded in agreement, and Su Chang turned to Su Chu and the other two and shouted, "Go and call for an ambulance, and at the same time maintain order at the scene!"

Su Chu and the other two acted quickly, their faces filled with tension and anxiety.

Song Xingchen also raced against time to begin performing artificial respiration on the girl. Her movements were skilled and gentle, and each breath was filled with hope.

However, the girl's condition did not improve significantly; her face remained pale, and her breathing became increasingly weak.

Su Chang grew increasingly anxious, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

After hesitating for only a moment, Su Chang took out his phone and dialed his bodyguard's number. His voice was deep and firm: "Go and find me a set of silver needles, and you have to be quick!"

The bodyguard immediately agreed and ran over with silver needles in less than five minutes.

Su Chang took the silver needles, patted Song Xingchen on the shoulder, and said, "Let me do it."

Song Xingchen looked at Su Chang with surprise, her eyes filled with doubt and worry. She wanted to say something, but seeing Su Chang's determined gaze and the increasingly dangerous girl, she chose to believe Su Chang.

Su Chang took a deep breath, squatted down, and gazed intently at the girl. He carefully inserted the silver needles into the girl's acupoints, each needle inserted with extreme caution.

His fingers trembled slightly, and sweat trickled down his face. But his gaze never left the girl, as if he were waging a silent battle with death.

With Su Chang's efforts, the girl's breathing gradually became steady, and her complexion gradually regained its color.

Su Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Just then, the sound of an ambulance came from inside, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Chang and Song Xingchen helped the girl onto the ambulance. The woman wanted to thank them, but the two just waved and turned to leave.

Chapter 289 Escaping the Scene

At this moment, a burst of praise and applause rang out from the surroundings. Su Chang gave Su Chu, Fang Yifan, and Ji Yangyang a look, and the three of them immediately understood and quickly blocked the onlookers who were about to gather around.

Without hesitation, Su Chang grabbed Song Xingchen's hand and rushed out of the crowd.

When Su Chang grabbed Song Xingchen's hand, she was taken aback and instinctively turned to look at Su Chang.

In that instant, Su Chang's handsome profile completely captivated her, and her face flushed crimson, like a ripe apple. The warmth emanating from Su Chang's hand felt like a gentle current, giving her a profound sense of security.

So she let Su Chang hold her hand, like a docile little deer, and followed him as he ran wildly.

After running for a while, the two of them finally found themselves in a quiet alley. Having shaken off the crowd of onlookers, they hid in the alley, leaned against the wall, and gasped for breath, trying to calm their rapid breathing.

Su Chang nervously peered out of the alley, a hint of worry in his eyes, fearing someone might catch up. His forehead was slightly sweaty, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. Song Xingchen watched him quietly from the side, a strange emotion welling up within her.

When she saw Su Chang holding her hand tightly, her face instantly flushed red, as if it could bleed. Her heart raced, as if it were about to leap out of her throat.

Although she felt warm, the girl's shyness made her cough twice and whisper, "Um... Su Chang, could you... let go of my hand?"

Su Chang also came to his senses at this moment. He turned to look at Song Xingchen and saw her shy little face. He couldn't help but feel a surge of affection.

He quickly released her hand, explaining somewhat flusteredly, "I'm so sorry, Dr. Song, I didn't mean to, I just..."

When Song Xingchen saw Su Chang release her hand, a sudden sense of loss welled up inside her, as if she had lost something important. A hint of reluctance appeared in her eyes, and her fingers trembled slightly.

However, she tried her best to control her emotions and quickly interrupted, "It's okay, I know."

Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Su Chang quickly changed the subject, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and asked, "By the way, Dr. Song, what are you doing here? Are you on vacation?"

Upon hearing Su Chang's question, Song Xingchen, who had initially been excited and shy, immediately looked distressed, her face falling. Tears welled in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to begin.

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Su Chang, just call me by my name or Xingchen. Do you remember the woman who came when I was on duty last time?"

Su Chang nodded slightly and said softly, "Alright, then I'll call you Xingchen. I remember, isn't she your director's wife? What? Did she bother you again?" His eyes revealed a hint of concern.

Song Xingchen shook her head gently, a bitter smile appearing on her lips. She sighed helplessly, "No, it's not that. She went to her best friend and our director to make a scene. I don't know how they managed to reconcile, but then the director and her best friend started ostracizing me in the department. I couldn't take it anymore, so I resigned." Her eyes flickered with grievance and helplessness, and her hands unconsciously clenched.

Upon hearing Song Xingchen's account, Su Chang frowned deeply, his face filled with righteous indignation. He said indignantly, "That's outrageous! Weren't you introduced by your vice dean? Why didn't you ask him for help?" His tone was full of resentment and indignation towards Song Xingchen.

Song Xingchen shook her head again, a hint of weariness and determination in her eyes: "Let's not. He's already gone to so much trouble, and there are rumors about us at the hospital. The atmosphere there is terrible. I don't want to work there anymore." Her voice was firm, as if she had already made her decision.

Su Chang could understand her situation. Looking at Song Xingchen's confused expression, he couldn't help but feel pity and comforted her, "It's okay, leaving is good. So where do you plan to work next?" His eyes were full of concern and encouragement.

A look of confusion crossed Song Xingchen's face. She gently bit her lip and slowly said, "I don't know. Ever since I started school, I've never dared to stop and rest. So recently I've been planning to travel and relax for a while. I'll think about work later." Her eyes revealed uncertainty about the future and weariness with life.

"Yeah, that's pretty good too. Life isn't just about work. Taking a break can help you set sail better." Su Chang nodded in agreement, a smile on his face, trying to offer Song Xingchen some comfort and support.

Song Xingchen didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer, so she quickly changed the subject, turned to look at Su Chang, and asked curiously, "Then what are you doing here? Are you here on a business trip?" A hint of curiosity flickered in her eyes.

Su Chang touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and said in a low voice, "No, I'm also here to relax and travel, but I'm not alone." A shy smile appeared on his face, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Song Xingchen nodded and smiled, saying, "Are your three friends coming along too?" Her eyes revealed a hint of anticipation, as if she was also full of curiosity about Su Chang's friends.

A blush crept onto Su Chang's face. He smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Not only that, it's almost noon anyway. Why don't you come with us for lunch? I'll introduce you to them then." His eyes shone with sincerity and enthusiasm, anticipating Song Xingchen's response.

Upon hearing Su Chang's invitation, Song Xingchen's heart skipped a beat; she was filled with curiosity about everything about Su Chang. However, she tried her best to remain reserved, asking softly, "Is it convenient? Will it bother you?" Her eyes revealed a hint of anticipation and hesitation.

Su Chang quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's no problem, it's just a matter of adding a set of chopsticks and a bowl." His smile was warm and sincere.

Song Nuan's face immediately lit up with an excited smile. She nodded vigorously and said, "Okay then, I'll come with you for a free meal." Her heart was filled with joy, as if she couldn't wait to taste that delicious food.

Su Chang shook his head helplessly, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. He didn't know whether he should bring Song Nuan along, worried that she might be frightened. However, he had already come to terms with it; he already had quite a few women, so he would just say what he wanted. If she was willing, she could accept it; if not, he wouldn't force her.

Just then, Su Chang's phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Su Chu calling. As soon as he answered, Su Chu eagerly asked, "President Su, where are you right now?"

Su Chang glanced at the shops around the alley, frowned, and said, "I don't know where this is either. I just wandered around for ages. How's it going? Has everyone left?"

Su Chu immediately replied, "Everyone, disperse. Send me your location, and we'll come find you."

Su Chang shook his head and said, "No need, it's almost lunchtime anyway, let's just meet at the hot pot restaurant." His tone was firm, as if he had already made a decision.

Su Chu didn't refuse and immediately agreed, "Okay, President Su, let's go to the hot pot restaurant now."

Su Chang hung up the phone and opened the map navigation on his phone. His finger swiped across the screen, searching for the hot pot restaurant's location. Then, he looked at Song Xingchen, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Let's go, we should get going."

Song Xingchen smiled and said, "Okay, let's go!" Her eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation, as if she was looking forward to the dinner party.

Su Chang and Song Xingchen walked out of the alley together, their steps light and firm. Su Chang felt a little uneasy, while Song Nuan followed him happily, looking forward to the wonderful time to come.

The two chatted as they walked toward the hot pot restaurant.

The two followed the map navigation for about ten minutes and finally arrived at the Bashu Dajiang Hot Pot Restaurant.

Su Chu and the other two were already waiting at the door. Because it was lunchtime, there was a constant stream of people waiting at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant.

..... ..... 0

Su Chang frowned at Su Chu and asked, "Do we still have to wait in line here?" His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of impatience.

Su Chu quickly waved his hand and said, "President Su, no need. I already booked the largest private room here. If the private room is too full, is it okay to sit outside?" As he spoke, he showed a flattering smile, seemingly trying to ease Su Chang's dissatisfaction.

Su Chang nodded in satisfaction and said, "No problem, let's go inside first and talk about it." His expression relaxed a little, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

“Okay, Mr. Su, please follow me.” Su Chu nodded immediately and led the group into the store. His steps were light and quick, as if he were demonstrating his attentive service.

The restaurant is decorated in a classic style, and there's even a stage on the second floor. It's always bustling with people. The aroma of hot pot and the sound of boiling broth fill the air, creating a truly lively atmosphere.

Su Chang looked around with great interest, his eyes sparkling with curiosity, and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, seemingly quite satisfied with the environment and the lively atmosphere.

The group went to a private room on the second floor, which could seat six tables. Right opposite the stage was the authentic Sichuan face-changing performance.

The group sat at the outermost table, and the waiter immediately served them Sichuan's famous covered-bowl tea and snacks. Su Chang picked up the covered-bowl tea, gently blew on it, then took a sip, a satisfied expression on his face.

After watching the performance for a while, Fang Yifan felt a bit bored and suggested again, "Teacher Su, how about we continue playing games? We have five people now." His eyes revealed a hint of urgency, and his fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the table.

"Teacher Su?" Upon hearing Fang Yifan's address, Song Xingchen looked at Su Chang with a puzzled expression and asked, "Aren't you a doctor?" Her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.

Su Chang smiled helplessly and explained, "I worked as a substitute teacher for a semester in the first half of the year. Teaching and medicine are just my side jobs." His smile carried a hint of self-deprecation, as if he felt somewhat helpless about his multiple roles.

"A side hustle? Your side hustle is amazing! I don't know how good you are at teaching, but your medical skills are definitely top-notch." Song Xingchen gave Su Chang a thumbs up, her eyes filled with admiration and praise.

Chapter 290 He Ran Away

Before Su Chang could speak, Ji Yangyang interjected, his face full of admiration and his eyes shining. He excitedly said, "Teacher Su is also a very good teacher. If Teacher Su hadn't been unwilling, our whole class would have gone to the principal to petition for Teacher Su to stay and continue teaching us."

Fang Yifan chimed in, not wanting to be outdone. His expression was exaggerated as he waved his hands and shouted, "That's right! Our Teacher Su even went to other schools to give lectures before. The students at those schools are so envious of us!"

When Song Xingchen looked at Su Chang again, her gaze was exceptionally bright. Her eyes were wide open, and her lips were slightly parted, as if she wanted to devour him.

Her heart was filled with admiration and love for Su Chang. She thought to herself, "Su Chang is so outstanding. I'm unemployed now, and I don't know if Su Chang will look down on me. I must work harder to be worthy of him." Song Xingchen felt a little down and began to worry about losing him.

Su Chang quickly said modestly, a shy smile on his face, and waved his hand, saying, "Xingchen, don't listen to their nonsense, it's just that I have a good relationship with the students."

Song Xingchen shook her head and said with a firm look and a sincere tone, "That's not true. The students' '850' is the best feedback on your teaching, which shows that your teaching level is extraordinary."

Even with his thick skin, Su Chang felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. A blush crept onto his face, and he quickly changed the subject, asking, "Xingchen, do you play King of Glory?"

Song Xingchen quickly waved her hand, looking apologetic, her eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and unease: "I don't play games. I've spent most of my time working and studying, and only occasionally go out to relax with my best friends, so I'm sorry..."

Su Chang replied nonchalantly, his expression relaxed as he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I only do it occasionally."

Upon seeing Song Xingchen's expression, Su Chu knew that this was yet another woman who liked him, and he was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment. He muttered to himself, "How can there be such a huge difference between people? I can't even handle Su Mang, but Su Chang has one woman after another, and they're all so beautiful. I'm so jealous that I'm almost unrecognizable."

Fang Yifan then suggested, his face full of anticipation and excitement: "Teacher Su, you're so good at games, don't you have any game friends? Just invite one over to play five-player ranked games together."

Su Chang knew that many people at the game company were playing this game, but she didn't know if they were busy at the moment, and she didn't dare to make a guarantee, so she said, "Let me ask. If they are, I'll bring them in."

Then Su Chang took out his phone and dialed Zheng Shuyi's number. As soon as the call connected, there was a lot of noise on the other end. Then Zheng Shuyi asked anxiously, "Boss, what's wrong?"

Su Chang touched his nose sheepishly, thinking to himself, "The people below are always busy, while I'm out having fun. I'm really not doing my job properly."

So, he said somewhat awkwardly, "It's nothing serious. It's just that I'm planning to play King of Glory with some friends and I'd like to find someone to play with. If you're busy, then forget it."
