Chapter 389: Chapter 368: All Caused by Sweet Food_1
Strange, why does my tooth hurt?
Lin Yuan was a bit puzzled, but didn’t give it much thought.
After finishing filming, Lin Yuan was ready to go home only to find Antarctica trailing behind him on equal footing.
Lin Yuan was taken aback, “Why are you following me?”
According to the plot of “Hachiko”, this wasn’t a good sign.
Antarctica wagged its tail in a seemingly docile manner.
Helpless, Lin Yuan simply said goodbye to the crew and took Antarctica home.
Tomorrow morning he would return Antarctica to the set.
That being so, Lin Yuan took a car and returned home.
Lin Yao had already finished school by now and was doing her homework at home. Lin Yuan didn’t know what university homework his sister was working on, but he felt she was studying even harder than when she was in high school.
However, spotting Antarctica returning through the window, Lin Yao uncharacteristically put down her pen and went to open the door.
“Antarctica!”
“Woof woof woof!”

Antarctica pounced forward like a hungry dog –
Well, it is a dog indeed.
Looking at Lin Yao, who was squatting down, patting the dog’s head seriously, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but say, “You don’t greet me like this when I come home.”
“Are you as cute as Antarctica?”
“I bought you egg yolk pastries.”
“You make it sound like you didn’t eat any.”
“I also bought you strawberry-flavored jelly.”
“I like apple-flavored ones, you’re the one who likes strawberry.”
“I also bought you study materials.”
“Well, for this one, I am a bit grateful to you…”
Lin Yao thought about it and reluctantly took out a packet of candy from her pocket: “A classmate gave me this happy candy.”
“Your classmate is getting married?”
Lin Yao’s expression faltered for a moment: “It’s happy candy for getting first place in the exam.”
Lin Yuan was surprised, “Isn’t the first place always yours?”
Lin Yao was a top student who always came first in every exam at school. This was the first time Lin Yuan saw Lin Yao take second place.
Lin Yao didn’t make a sound.
Lin Yuan lamented, “I have never taken second place. I always get first place; people think it’s boring.”
“I’m also first!”
Lin Yao looked angrily at Lin Yuan, her bastard big brother clearly trying to hit her where it hurt, “As long as I want to, I can definitely get first place again!”
“So, were you second this time?”
“It is second, but I gave her first place.”
With that, Lin Yao pouted, “Every time she gets second, she hides and cries, worried about losing her full scholarship. But giving her first place didn’t make me feel happy.”
“Of course, you wouldn’t be happy.”
Lin Yuan chuckled, “Because you sympathized with her, but didn’t realize that she may not need your sympathy. She might need your respect and efforts more. If she knew the truth, she might be sadder than when she got second place.”
Lin Yao was worried, “Should I tell her the truth?”
Lin Yuan shook his head, “Since you have already let her have it, just let it be. Just not be like this next time.”
With that said, Lin Yuan suddenly became curious, “What does it feel like to come second?”
“Eat your candy.”
Lin Yao replied unhappily. She walked into the room with Antarctica. Just before she closed the door, she paused, “Didn’t you come second this time?”
Huh?
Lin Yuan paused, realizing that was indeed the case.
He really did come in second place.
So that’s what it feels like to come second?
It doesn’t seem much different from coming first.
He put the candy in his mouth and chewed. Suddenly, Lin Yuan found that his toothache had intensified.
…
A toothache isn’t a disease, but it can be really painful.
Lin Yuan thought his toothache would get better soon, but it quickly worsened, especially after he ate a few candies.
Lin Yuan asked the System, “Did I get a cavity?”
System: “…”
Feeling that he wouldn’t get an answer from the System, Lin Yuan decided to ask his sister to take him to the hospital, but she was not home due to overtime work.
“I’ll take you.”
Lin Yao was worried about Lin Yuan and directly hailed a taxi to the hospital.
The hospital was still open at this time.
The doctor did a quick check and smiled, “No big problem, you’ve got a wisdom tooth coming in. Do you want to have it removed?”
“Yes!”
Lin Yao responded with a serious face.
Lin Yuan was a bit worried, “Will it hurt?”
Lin Yuan was afraid of pain, very afraid. This fear stemmed from his regular childhood illnesses for which he received injections. He had a shadow over syringes.
The doctor smiled, “Just a little anesthesia.”
Normally, the doctor wouldn’t be this patient, but the brother and sister in front of her didn’t make her lose her temper. Talking with these two seemed to make her feel calm and composed somehow.
“I need to get an injection again?”
Getting his tooth pulled and an injection too, Lin Yuan became weak.
If he could, he would trade ten second place finishes for this painless extraction.
Lin Yao started looking up information about wisdom teeth on her phone: “If you don’t get it pulled, it will hurt again in the future.”
“Then let’s pull it out.”
Lin Yuan had to resign himself to it.
Although he was afraid of pain, he preferred short-term pain to long-term pain.
At this moment, Lin Yuan fervently wished he could finish his task soon. There was another task from the System. As long as he completed it, he could get a healthy body.
A healthy body definitely wouldn’t grow wisdom teeth, right?
Hmm, does growing wisdom teeth have something to do with me liking sweets? It’s all the fault of sweets! A certain uninformed guy was thinking to himself.
“We will start the injection now.”
The doctor looked at Lin Yuan’s fearful face and felt a bit reluctant. The last time she felt this way was when she was treating a six-year-old child.
“Alright.”
Lin Yuan was resigned to his fate. He finally understood why Antarctica had followed him. This was an inauspicious omen.
Lin Yao took out her phone and pointed it at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan asked, “What are you doing?”
Lin Yao replied matter-of-factly, “Recording it.”
Lin Yuan: “…”
He had no energy to deal with this now.
Soon, after the anesthesia injection, Lin Yuan felt his mouth was somewhat numb.
The doctor used a series of tools to fix one of Lin Yuan’s teeth: “I’ll count to three, and then start pulling. Don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt; the anesthesia has already worked.”
Lin Yuan’s mouth was open and he couldn’t reply, so he just blinked.
“Ready, one…”
The doctor’s hand suddenly pulled hard and with a click, Lin Yuan felt like something was missing, as if he was incomplete.
He opened his eyes in astonishment and stared at the doctor.
What happened to the countdown of two and three?
Where are your “two” and “three”?
Lin Yao let out a strange laugh and her hand holding the mobile phone shook slightly.
“It’s usually like this.”
The doctor explained, “One, two, three is to relax the patient’s guard. Before I count to three, you are relatively less nervous.”
Lin Yuan: “…”
That night, Lin Yuan’s tooth extraction video was uploaded to a small group chat, causing Xia Fan and Jian Yi to laugh endlessly.
His sister seemed to comfort him with a few words, “I’ll treat you to candy tonight, oh no, you can’t eat them now, so I’ll just have them with Big Yaoyao.”
Lin Yuan did not want to talk.
Having just had a tooth pulled, he couldn’t speak anyway.
