Chapter 386: Chapter 145: Genius dical Officer
"Cough cough cough—"
As she violently coughed, so tea spilled from her hands. She frantically wiped the tea stains off her body, and that always unflappable, effortlessly smiling face finally cracked, coming to life in a rare display.
Lu Tong found this scene much more pleasing to the eye.
Once Pei Yunng had tidied up her surroundings, she turned to Lu Tong, incredulously asking, "What are you talking about?"
Despite the fact that healers do not differentiate between n and won, and even though Lu Tong was never associated with being shy or timid, he was after all a young man, and for a young lady to speak so forthrightly about such matters in a room with him was frankly too shocking and unconventional.
Lu Tong found his reaction rather amusing and thus quipped, "Lord Pei doesn’t know? It seems to be quite a secret indeed."
"Of course I don’t know," he said, brushing off the tea leaves from his body in disarray. "How do you know?"
Lu Tong remained silent.
"You..."
"In my daily practice, I use needles," Lu Tong interrupted him, tapping on the dical chest on the table, "noticing one more or one less needle isn’t significant, Lord Pei doesn’t need to wear that expression."
Her words were extrely pointed, as if directed at Jin Xianrong himself, who, if present, would likely have been angered to death, yet she spoke earnestly as if she found nothing ironic in her statent.
Pei Yunng leaned his hand against his forehead, "Stop talking..."
Seeing his reaction, Lu Tong found it refreshing. This Commander seed to handle everything with ease, taking things with levity, but it turned out he couldn’t bear such words. What a waste of a handso face.
Appearances can be deceiving indeed.
After a mont of silence, Pei Yunng spoke again, his expression sowhat complex, "Do you really..."
It wasn’t that he held any prejudice against the practices of dical Officers, but Jin Xianrong’s moral integrity was questionable, and Lu Tong was not soone to suffer fools. If she implied that Jin took advantage of her, it seed incongruous.
"Of course it’s not true," Lu Tong said.
Pei Yunng was taken aback.
Lu Tong, unaware of his thoughts, continued, "Lord Pei knows that, to , a man’s body is no different from dead pork; seeing or not seeing doesn’t matter. Besides, although his disease is troubleso, it is not difficult to cure. Lord Pei need not worry overly." She placed the Ni lion Paperweight on the prescription she had just finished writing, "The prescription is here. Lord Pei just needs to follow my instructions for the dication, and I will return in seven days."
Having said that, Lu Tong paused, then silently looked towards Pei Yunng.
Noticing her gaze, Pei Yunng’s expression faltered, "What is it?"
Lu Tong nodded, her tone matter-of-fact, "Lord Jin’s illness is common among older n. If Lord Pei encounters such a problem in the future and needs help, feel free to seek . Given our acquaintance, I will keep Lord Pei’s secrets as well."
The room fell silent at her words.
For a mont, Lu Tong thought his handso face had frozen, as if he was trying hard to maintain a light-hearted fa??ade. After a while, Pei Yunng replied calmly, "Thank you, but I don’t need it."
"Is that so?" Lu Tong showed a look of regret, "That’s truly unfortunate."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a cheerful voice ca from outside, "What’s so unfortunate—"
Duan Xiaoyan poked his head into the room and was montarily surprised to see Lu Tong, "Doctor Lu, what are you doing here?"
Lu Tong did not elaborate, simply shouldering her dical chest, she said in a subdued voice, "I’ll be going back now."
With the dical chest on her back, she walked out. Duan Xiaoyan scratched his head as he watched her leave, wondering, "Odd, why do I feel that Doctor Lu is happier today than usual? Did sothing good happen?"
He turned around, as if just rembering the scene he had witnessed, and pointed excitedly at the chair Lu Tong had been sitting in, "But bro, you actually let her sit in your chair! Don’t you usually not let anyone touch your stuff?"
Pei Yunng had a penchant for cleanliness, disliking others touching his belongings, and aside from himself, no one else dared to sit on that chair. Yet today, he seed to have let Lu Tong take his seat. If he wasn’t mistaken, Lu Tong even used Pei Yunng’s paper and pen.
Clink clink clink, he was certainly very tolerant of her.
No one responded for a long ti.
Duan Xiaoyan turned his face to see Pei Yunng sitting at the desk, hand supporting his forehead, looking like he had a headache.
Fueled by curiosity, the young man leaned in closer and asked, "What were you just talking about? What does Doctor Lu regret?"
Without looking up, Pei Yunng just pushed away the encroaching head with his hand, coldly saying, "Shut up."
...
Having left the Palace Marshal’s Mansion, Lu Tong did not visit any other places and headed straight back to the dical Officer Institute.
In the hall, the Chief Physician Chang Jin was instructing the other dical officers on their duties. Seeing Lu Tong return, he dismissed the others with a few words and approached Lu Tong to ask, "Doctor Lu, have you finished seeing Vice Minister Jin?"
