"I know exactly how he lives better than you do." Ning Youguang looked at Jiang Han, her eyes clear.
"Knock knock..." There was a sound of knocking on the door, and the young man, supported by his assistant, pushed the door open and entered.
He first glanced at Jiang Han, then slowly walked over to the tea table and sat down.
"Dr. Ning." He said weakly to Ning Youguang, "That dicinal liquor..."
Ning Youguang looked at him seriously, "Are you sure your body is suffering from exhaustion?"
The young man’s eyes were evasive, "How could it not be? I stay up late every day, exhausting myself greatly."
Jiang Han slapped the young man’s bony back, "Stop blatantly lying. Do you still want to live well?"
The young man looked at Ning Youguang in embarrassnt, "Dr. Ning, your dical skills are excellent. Please see how my condition should be treated, and I will follow your advice."
Ning Youguang smiled, "Are you sure?"
The young man hesitated and looked at Jiang Han.
Seeing this expression, Ning Youguang imdiately understood that he had probably seen many doctors before and had been dishonest, so she spoke directly, "You’ve definitely seen many doctors before, so I won’t repeat the sa old issues. I’ll start by telling you that I can make the dicinal liquor you want, but I won’t make it for you."
"Why?" the young man asked anxiously.
"Because I don’t want you to die," Ning Youguang replied calmly. "You know why your body has beco like this, and I know too. It’s pointless to talk about the false symptoms. Let tell you this: your parents have been good to you, giving you a constitution that could have allowed you to live to your eighties or nineties, with good vision and hearing, but you’ve squandered this blessing."
The expression on the young man’s face changed instantly.
After a mont of silence, Ning Youguang asked, "Do you have children?"
"No, I’m not married yet." The young man didn’t understand why she was asking this, and he beca extrely anxious.
Ning Youguang sighed softly, "Your body is in such a state, and you still want dicinal liquor?"
"My body..." The young man was so scared that his voice shook.
"I’ll help you recuperate for a while first," Ning Youguang said. "We’ll alleviate your symptoms first. For the rest, you should go to the hospital for a check-up."
"What kind of check-up?" the young man asked nervously.
"You know it yourself," Ning Youguang replied, taking out a paper and pen from her bag as she wrote a prescription, "You need to prepare ntally that you might not have children in the future."
"..." The young man slumped directly onto the cushion.
Ning Youguang remained calm, "I’m not trying to scare you; you’ve done considerable damage to your body."
The young man was in despair, "Dr. Ning, please think of a way to help !"
Ning Youguang said, "Take your dicine, recuperate your body and mind, don’t think about unnecessary things. Just focus on staying alive for now."
"This, this, this..." The young man’s teeth chattered in fear, "I’m the only son in my family. I must get married and have children. Otherwise, how can I face my ancestors and parents? I..."
Ning Youguang’s voice grew colder, "If you ignore the cause and only fear the result, what good does it do?"
"I didn’t know, I didn’t know it would be this way. If I knew, I wouldn’t have..." The young man was full of regret, his face pale, his eyes red from anxiety.
"If you’ve seen doctors before, you’d surely know. Saying you didn’t know just ans the problem wasn’t severe enough to be irreversible, and you were being complacent." Ning Youguang pushed the prescription to the young man, "Take this prescription to the pharmacy and take the dication for a period of ti. The precautions are written on it as well."
The young man quickly picked up the prescription to read it.
It clearly listed over thirty traditional Chinese dicine nas, the gram amounts of each dicinal material per dose, and dietary restrictions and precautions.
Ning Youguang’s prescription, unlike those of ordinary doctors, was not hastily written with flair. Instead, her writing was upright and, though bold, each character was stable and legible. Anyone who could read would recognize her prescription.
"Okay, Dr. Ning, I’ll get the dicine later," the young man said, folding the prescription like a treasure and putting it into his pocket. He then asked in detail, "What is this dicine for?"
"To replenish your exhausted yang energy."
"Then I..."
The young man was filled with joy.
Ning Youguang stopped him imdiately, "Don’t daydream. Helping you replenish your exhausted yang energy isn’t so you can waste it again. I’ve said what I needed to. If you don’t follow my advice and the dicine doesn’t work as expected, I won’t be responsible."
The young man nodded eagerly, "Dr. Ning, don’t worry. I will definitely follow your advice and take the dicine seriously."
Ning Youguang smiled faintly, "For patients, I never look at what they say, only at what they do."
She had seen too many patients who liked to act up, not cooperate, and held irrational hopes.
During consultations, they promised everything.
But once they got ho, they forgot all her advice whenever they encountered good food or fun activities. This led to unsatisfactory treatnt outcos, and they even doubted her dical skills.
She had almost given up treating such people.
"I will definitely do as you say." The young man raised his hand, expressing sincerity, nearly swearing by it to Ning Youguang.
"Alright," Ning Youguang smirked, "Return for a follow-up after finishing these fifteen doses of dicine."
"Okay, okay." The young man quickly nodded in agreent.
Then, hesitantly, he asked, "Dr. Ning, about having children..."
"Children?" Ning Youguang turned to look at him, "Don’t think about it for the next five years."
"Five years?" The young man looked bitter, "That’s too long. My family is currently arranging for to et potential partners so I can get married. I’m already thirty-three, turning thirty-four next month. If I wait another three to five years, I’ll be forty. How do I explain this to my family? Isn’t this a huge disrespect to them?"
Ning Youguang sneered, throwing down the pen she was holding, "Mr. Li, you say it’s a huge disrespect, yet when you were recklessly damaging your body and life, why didn’t you think about whether you were being disrespectful? Arranging a match? Please, don’t harm another good girl, alright?!"
The young man’s already bitter face turned red from Ning Youguang’s scolding.
To be honest, due to his status, the people around him always said pleasant things in front of him.
He had never been scolded like this to his face in his life.
For a mont, he felt embarrassed and awkward.
He gave Ning Youguang a complicated look and then turned to Jiang Han. Seeing Jiang Han shrinking back, trying to stay out of it, the young man gritted his teeth and said to Ning Youguang, "Yes, you’re right to scold . I’m really a jerk."
