Departnt of Traditional Chinese dicine.
At the door.
Xu Wenzhi was holding a No. 17 registration slip, hesitating endlessly.
He kept pacing back and forth at the door, occasionally leaning closer to the consultation room to listen in.
Realizing that the voices inside were so low he couldn’t make out anything, he reluctantly sat down on one of the seats nearby.
But at the sa ti, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he couldn’t hear anything, at least when he went in, there was no need to worry about others overhearing, which was sowhat comforting.
Ti passed by slowly, and Xu Wenzhi felt like every mont was an eternity until the door of the consultation room abruptly opened, and the forty-year-old Li Qianghui ca out holding a bag of dicine.
Hearing the noise, Xu Wenzhi was startled for a mont. Seeing Li Qianghui co out, he hurried over and whispered, "Brother, how are you?"
Li Qianghui looked puzzled, thinking, Do I know you?
You just co up and greet like this.
"Still... still okay."
Li Qianghui casually replied before pulling his hand from Xu Wenzhi’s grasp, ready to leave.
He had just tried to call his wife in the consultation room unsuccessfully, and now he was eager to share this good news with her.
Although he hadn’t taken the dicine yet and wasn’t sure about its effect, Dr. Lu’s words had given him great confidence.
If Dr. Lu could save soone on the brink of death, how could he not cure this ailnt?
However, just as he was about to go, Xu Wenzhi stopped him.
"Brother, I..."
Xu Wenzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Let just say it straight — when I was at the door earlier, I saw your examination report."
Li Qianghui’s face changed instantly, looking at Xu Wenzhi with anger.
Li Qianghui was robust, though usually silent, but when an honest person got angry, it was much more intimidating than the average person. Xu Wenzhi was also frightened and didn’t know what to say for a mont by Li Qianghui’s fierce glare.
It wasn’t until he saw Li Qianghui was about to leave that Xu Wenzhi bit his lip in embarrassnt and said, "Brother, I didn’t an to snoop. It’s just that when you opened it, I happened to be right next to you, and you don’t have to worry about spreading it around. Actually, my situation is quite similar to yours."
"Frankly, it’s sowhat embarrassing to talk about, so I wanted to ask you if Dr. Lu specializes in this area?"
"I’ve had this issue for two or three months, and I’ve seen quite a few doctors. Not only did it not improve, but it also got worse."
"If it’s not treatable, I might as well cancel the appointnt to avoid embarrassnt."
"We’re still young, and dying from sha is a kind of living suffering."
After saying this, Xu Wenzhi sighed.
Li Qianghui’s eyes widened like saucers, looking incredulously at the other person.
He really wanted to ask, "You too?"
But after thinking about it, he held back. This kind of illness is sowhat embarrassing to ntion. Telling Dr. Lu is a necessity, but chatting about it here might let others overhear, and who knows what strange looks they’d get.
However, it was sowhat relieving to ntion it to soone facing the sa issue, and Li Qianghui spoke more freely, "Dr. Lu said it’s a minor illness, not hard to treat, and you’ll see results in a few days."
"Really?"
Xu Wenzhi looked pleasantly surprised, "Dr. Lu said that?"
"Yes."
Li Qianghui nodded, "That’s what Dr. Lu said, but my situation might be different from yours, so I can’t say for sure."
Xu Wenzhi, however, was overjoyed, "No worries, I trust Dr. Lu."
In fact, he wanted to say if Dr. Lu could cure sothing as serious as yours, then fixing my minor issue should be a piece of cake, right?
Considering how fierce Li Qianghui’s glare was earlier, he decided to hold his tongue!
Voicing that could get him beaten up.
Li Qianghui didn’t have ti for idle chat with Xu Wenzhi and left shortly after.
And Xu Wenzhi, after chatting with Li Qianghui, felt sowhat reassured.
His number wasn’t called early, and he waited almost an hour before hearing his number called on the broadcast.
He quickly walked to the door, and once the person inside ca out, he took a deep breath and entered the consultation room with his registration slip, closing the door like Li Qianghui had done, even adding an extra step to lock it.
If he didn’t lock it and soone barged in, what then?
Lu Xuan watched this scene with a strange expression.
He was familiar with this, as Li Qianghui had done the exact sa thing before.
Of course, the actions were the sa, but Xu Wenzhi seed much calr, unlike Li Qianghui, who was all tense while closing the door as if he were there for sothing other than a consultation — like he was up to sothing shady.
Just as Lu Xuan was lost in his own thoughts, the previously calm Xu Wenzhi rushed in front of him, nearly crying out, "Dr. Lu, you have to save !"
Xu Wenzhi’s sudden outburst startled Lu Xuan, making him think the man had so terminal illness. His expression beca serious, "Don’t worry, just tell what’s going on. There’s no problem we can’t solve, even if it is a critical illness, there is still a chance of treatnt."
Xu Wenzhi looked around the consultation room.
Lu Xuan said helplessly, "I’m the only one in the Departnt of Traditional Chinese dicine. You don’t have to worry about others knowing your condition, just rest assured."
Confirming once more that no one was there, Xu Wenzhi, with a bitter face, said, "Dr. Lu, I...I seem to be having...so erectile issues."
"Erectile issues?" Lu Xuan asked casually without thinking much.
Xu Wenzhi was anxious, "Yes, that! Dr. Lu, you’re a man too, don’t you understand this?"
That’s when Lu Xuan understood what he was talking about, finding it a little funny yet saying seriously, "You could’ve just said it directly, illnesses aren’t embarrassing in front of doctors, there’s nothing unspeakable about it."
