Dr. Song, My Tooth Hurts

Lin Manyue has a predisposition to cavities, and not long after moving to a new place, she paid a visit to a nearby private dental clinic.

After taking an X-ray, the masked dentist looked up at her, her voice cool and clear. "Is this tooth hurting a lot?"

"It seems to have stopped hurting..." Lin Manyue held her cheek. "It hurt so much last night that I couldn't sleep. I don't know why, but the moment I saw you, it stopped hurting."

One morning, Lin Manyue was crouching by the hospital entrance, feeding a cat. She gently scratched the little orange cat's head with her index finger and said, "Meow, you should eat more, okay?"

A hand came to rest on her head, and a low, pleasant voice sounded behind her. "Lin Manyue, you should eat more too."

Lin Manyue turned around. The morning sunlight fell across Song Shu's face, softening the touch of coolness she usually wore.

--- Coming soon: She Has a Beloved Fish ---

That summer, her little niece brought home a tiny fish from the seaside and kept it in Wen's office.

She didn't pay much attention to the fish, merely telling the people around her to take care of it.

Then, one day after a meeting, she returned to her office. Her little niece, who had come to visit the fish, had a look on her face like she'd uncovered a secret. Covering her mouth, she leaned close to her aunt's ear and whispered, "Auntie, I won't tell Grandma that you sneak snacks at work."

She thought: What? Sneak snacks? Impossible. She hadn't touched a snack in years.

She dismissed it as a child's silly talk, but her niece was convinced that the snacks she'd hidden there last time had been eaten by her aunt.

So she opened the office surveillance footage, determined to restore her image in her niece's eyes.

When she saw what was on the video, her niece let out an excited shriek beside her. "There's a monster!"

She snapped the computer shut. A storm raged inside her, but she kept her face perfectly calm. "That's right, I ate the snacks. Don't tell Grandma."

All the employees noticed that their boss had recently taken up fishkeeping.

She had a beloved fish, the sort she carried around with her. Even when she flew overseas on business, she had to find time to check the office cameras and make sure her precious fish was all right.

But their boss didn't seem to know how to care for fish.

Several department heads had caught her feeding her beloved fish potato chips, chocolate, cream cake, and even spicy gluten snacks...

Once, when the secretary's office caught her putting a piece of spicy gluten snack into the water, someone couldn't help speaking up. "Boss, fish... don't eat that, do they?"

Sure enough, the beloved fish opened its mouth and swallowed the piece, only to spit it out with a little "pop" a moment later.

She stared for two seconds. "She doesn't like her spicy gluten snacks soaked in water."

That has nothing to do with whether they're soaked in water!

The staff in the secretary's office shrieked, silently mourning the poor little fish...

Later, the boss seemed to finally realize this and started changing what she fed it.

Foie gras, caviar, king crab, red wine...

The employees shrieked: Boss! I want to be your fish too!

- A Little Scene -

The first time the boss flew overseas on a business trip after getting the fish, she couldn't bring her beloved fish along.

When she returned, she discovered that her beloved fish had forgotten her.
