When asked this question, Zhu Zhe's cheeks turned crimson as she stammered, "I..."
"I don't know if it's psychological, but I think I have anorexia."
"Have you ever seen these websites?"
"When I watch them eat, I really want to eat too."
Hearing this, Song Chuan already sensed something was wrong.
"They eat? Eat what?"
"Websites? What websites?"
"Are you talking about Mukbang streams? That's not right, why would you watch Mukbang streams on a website?"
As he pressed her with each question, Zhu Zhe's face flushed slightly. "It's my secret."
"I hope you can keep it for me."
"I'm a doctor. Protecting patient privacy is my duty, isn't it?"
No sooner had Song Chuan finished speaking than Zhu Zhe pulled out her phone.
The four women shared a rented apartment together.
They had created a private group chat, but only the three of them ever posted.
Ye Zhenzhen was a researcher who spent most of her time in the lab, rarely returning to the apartment and even less often checking her messages.
As a result, her presence in the group chat was minimal.
Besides venting in the group chat, He Minhong loved sharing websites.
Zhu Zhe copied a website address and pasted it into her browser to search.
Only a few mukbang videos appeared.
Song Chuan understood immediately.
"So *this* is the kind of mukbang you were talking about! Do you want to eat...?"
"No, no, no! I don't!"
"But didn't you just say you were wondering if there was anything you wanted to eat? It's only when I watch these videos, when they slurp and chew so enthusiastically, that I feel hungry."
Zhu Zhe quickly closed her phone, her eyes wide as she stared at Song Chuan, waiting for his response.
Song Chuan's expression turned awkward. He cleared his throat. "Well... feeling hungry is a good thing..."
"I have a suggestion."
"Since watching these videos makes you hungry, you should eat immediately after you finish watching."
"Wouldn't that cure your anorexia?"
"Mm-hmm, I'll try that when I get back."
Having finished consulting with both of them, Song Chuan prepared to leave.
But just as Zhu Zhe reached the door, she paused. "Um... about my anorexia..."
"About the mukbang thing... I hope you won't tell anyone... I feel so ashamed..."
"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret."
Watching Zhu Zhe leave and hearing the commotion downstairs, Song Chuan figured she was heading back with He Minhong, who had already picked up their medicine.
After resting in his office for a bit, Song Chuan stood up, closed the door, and also prepared to return to Happy Ever After.
On the way back, he was already searching for lawyer information on his phone.
Suing Pan Guiyu wasn't a joke; he was serious about taking her to court.
If he was going to file a lawsuit, he needed a good lawyer.
After scrolling through lawyer profiles until his eyes blurred, Song Chuan decided to contact a law firm directly.
Even at this late hour, the firm was still open and agreed to take on his case.
By tomorrow,
Pan Guiyu would likely receive a Lawyer's Letter.
It wasn't that Song Chuan lacked sympathy.
It was just that people like Pan Guiyu didn't deserve pity.
Even at the very end, on her deathbed, she might finally feel remorse.
But even if Song Chuan didn't punish her,
she would continue her ways, preying on the next unsuspecting victim.
*I really need to teach her a lesson.*
By the time Song Chuan finished, it was nearly one in the morning.
Living with a roommate had its drawbacks.
Like being woken up by them.
Deep in sleep, Song Chuan was shaken awake by Zhu Suosuo.
"Song Chuan! Wake up!"
"I haven't settled the score from yesterday yet. You claimed I was your girlfriend, didn't you?"
"So who was that girl who came to our place?"
"Why didn't you confront me last night? Why are you only coming to settle this now?"
"I was so exhausted yesterday, I didn't have the energy to confront you! Don't try to change the subject!"
Song Chuan squinted, trying to go back to sleep, but Zhu Suosuo's small hands slapped his face.
"No sleeping!"
"You still haven't answered me!"
"She's just a little neighbor from upstairs. We're just friends."
Frowning skeptically, Zhu Suosuo pressed further, "Really?"
"Of course."
"Hmph, you'd better behave yourself. Don't give me any reason to catch you!"
"Why are you dressed up so nicely so early in the morning?"
Zhu Suosuo's heart swelled at Song Chuan's compliment. She reached out and tickled his nose. "I have a job interview. I need to find work so I don't have to keep eating, drinking, and living here for free!"
"Uh..."
"It's okay if you don't go to work. It doesn't cost much anyway."
"No! Absolutely not! I'm already not as good at earning money as you are. If I don't even have a job, I'll be even less worthy of you!"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo's unwavering resolve, Song Chuan had no choice but to relent. "Alright, then go find that job."
Grabbing her bag, Zhu Suosuo prepared to leave. But before she stepped out the door, she issued one last warning to Song Chuan.
"You better behave yourself!"
"No... I mean, right now I can only accept Nan Sun joining... no one else..."
"While I'm out, you keep your distance from other girls!"
"Yes, yes, my queen!"
Thankfully, Zhu Suosuo finally left. Lying in bed, Song Chuan found himself completely wide awake.
Holding his phone, Song Chuan glanced at the time.
Seven in the morning.
The clinic had doctors on duty during the day, so he wasn't particularly worried about it operating without him.
He had promised Zhu Zhe he would come over for dinner today, so he still needed to arrive early.
Just as he was getting up, the doorbell rang.
He went to the door.
He Minhong stood there with red eyes. "Song Chuan oppa, I... I..."
"What's wrong?"
"Who bullied you?"
"I... I just got treated unfairly at work..." *Wuwu*...
As she spoke, He Minhong began to sob.
Seeing the young woman crying so hard, Song Chuan put his arm around her and sat down on the sofa. "What happened? Tell me properly."
"Song Chuan oppa, can I sit on your lap while I tell you?"
