Black Book

Chapter 11 Love and Desire

If I could marry her, I would definitely be very happy...

She is so gentle, she will definitely be a good wife and mother...

In the blink of an eye, he even thought of a name for the child. Zhu Haomiao suddenly woke up, thinking that he would receive another reminder prohibiting sex, but he didn't expect that the [Book of Black] didn't respond at all.

After a moment, he had a vague understanding.

[Love] and [desire] cannot be confused. Even though their purposes are the same, their starting points are completely different.

But normally, [love] and [desire] are mixed together, and most people can't tell which one is more or less.

Just like the old saying goes: Most love at first sight is just lust...

Pure love without any desire is anti-human, and only saints can achieve it.

Similarly, pure desire without a trace of love is extremely rare, and that is the characteristic of true demons.

Human beings are somewhere in between the two, except that some people have more love and some people have more desire.

Now, my "love" for this woman is a little more than desire.

Of course, this "love" is only slightly higher than liking. It is only the most basic, superficial and vague liking, and is far from profound.

But this feeling comes from the inner desire and the will of "I", not an impulse driven by lust, so the [Black Book] will not react at all.

In the final analysis, the Black Book does not care whether it is good or evil, holy or devil...

All He cares about is... whether the desire is sincere!
Just like what it says on the title page: stick to your heart and do whatever you want!

Just as Zhu Haomiao was lost in thought, the female school doctor finished applying the ointment and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, get up."

"what?"

Still immersed in the comfortable massage, Zhu Haomiao sat up dazedly and found to his surprise that he was almost cured!

The excruciating pain all over my body turned into delayed onset muscle pain after strenuous exercise. Although it is still uncomfortable, it no longer affects my normal activities.

What’s even more exaggerated is that the calf that was originally black and swollen has now completely returned to normal, with only a faint bruise mark visible.

He stood up from the examination bed, stepped on the floor with a little force, and the feedback from his legs told Zhu Haomiao that everything was normal.

"........."

What happened to the 100 days it took to heal a broken bone?
Is this good?

Is this the healing effect of supernatural power?
It's so scary!
The young man intuitively felt the mystery of this world for the first time and couldn't help but be fascinated.

Can I also control such a surreal and powerful force?
Immediately, a horrified thought emerged in his mind, and the boy's slightly absent-minded pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhole!

Damn it! I don’t have health insurance!!

Zhu Haomiao took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and looked at the female school doctor with a serious gaze.

"Teacher, I don't have medical insurance..."

This kind of extraordinary medical treatment must be expensive... I hope it's not too outrageous...

"What?"

The boy blinked in embarrassment and said it with gritted teeth.

"I would like to ask how much the treatment will cost and whether it can be paid in installments?"

"point…………"

Looking at the silly and serious look of the young boy, the female school doctor's mouth twitched wildly and uncontrollably, and she used a lot of effort to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

"No, this part of the fee is already included in the tuition you paid."

The boy scratched his head and confessed to the female school doctor in distress and honesty. "But I am a special student, I have never paid tuition, and I can get a little living allowance from the school every month..."

"........."

Has this child learned crosstalk?

Closing her eyes, the female school doctor exhaled a long breath of orchid-like fragrance, and used all her strength to suppress her heaving shoulders. Then she opened her eyes and replied in a slightly trembling voice.

“As long as you are a student or employee of [Yangchao], treatment at the school hospital is free.”

"Is there such a good thing?"

Seeing the boy's eyes light up and his face full of 'I have a bold idea' expression, the female school doctor quickly changed the subject: "Okay, don't do strenuous exercise in the next few days, you will recover soon."

After the female school doctor gave Zhu Haomiao some instructions, she looked him straight in the eyes. The smile in her eyes gradually faded, becoming serious and solemn.

"Also, I want to remind you that your internal problems are more serious than your external injuries."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Severe malnutrition, developmental delay, and endocrine disorders, if not corrected quickly, can lead to mental retardation and lifelong growth failure at best, or even life-threatening at worst."

"........."

Everything else was fine, but when Zhu Haomiao heard that he would never grow taller, he suddenly became anxious.

He doesn't want to be a Yordle!
"Do you have anorexia? Or is your family in trouble? Why aren't you eating?"

The female school nurse washed her hands, sat back in the ergonomic chair and asked softly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Haomiao put on his clothes and pants and shook his head solemnly.

Although the subsidy the school gives him every month is not much, it is definitely enough. In addition, since tuition and accommodation fees are waived, he does not actually have much financial pressure.

As he could not explain the real reason for the malnutrition, the boy could only evade the question.

"Actually, I eat a lot, but my stomach doesn't digest food well..."

Hearing this, the female school doctor frowned slightly and looked at Zhu Haomiao deeply. She noticed the evasion in his words, but was considerate enough not to ask any further questions.

"Since it's an absorption problem, come here every day for the next few days to receive the nutrient solution. I'll be here from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.."

"Also, you must eat well and not be picky about food..."

"Eat more meat, eggs and milk to maintain a balanced nutrition..."

Listening to the nagging advice in his ears, the young man couldn't help but feel moved, even though he knew that the other party was just a kind-hearted doctor who would be so caring and kind to everyone.

It was the first time that Zhu Haomiao felt the care of others after traveling to this world. He smiled and nodded.

"I understand, thank you teacher."

"You're welcome, go ahead."

After giving the doctor's orders, the female school doctor picked up the tablet on the table again, leaned back slightly, and lay on the ergonomic chair like a lazy cat.

Feeling the charming temperament she inadvertently revealed, Zhu Haomiao's heart was stirred. After asking himself, he smiled with relief.

My family members, I am not attracted by your beauty!

【Black Book】testifies!
"Teacher, do you have a boyfriend?"

"what?"

Slowly moving her eyes away from the flat screen, the female school doctor pushed up her glasses on her straight nose, her charming big eyes full of confusion.

She was a woman of great intelligence and had already heard the subtext in the boy's words, so she found it even more absurd.

This kid...is there really something wrong with his brain?
But looking at the boy's confident, sincere, clear, stubborn... and stupid eyes, the female school doctor shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
