When Ge Dongxu returned to the dormitory, Li Chenyu and his two friends hadn't gone to bed yet and were lying on their beds, excitedly discussing Nico.
"Boss, do you know we got front-row seats today? Sitting there during class was a real treat! It's a sha you missed out," they said with a look of pity as Ge Dongxu ca back.
"Haha, as long as you guys enjoyed it, that's fine. I'll pass on that hustle," Ge Dongxu laughed.
"Speaking of which, boss, where did you go tonight? Don't tell you went to the library again?" Li Chenyu asked.
"Nah, I had dinner with your goddess Liu Manman and Wu Shiyi tonight," Ge Dongxu replied.
"Please! Keep dreaming!" Li Chenyu and the others said disdainfully.
"Haha, don't believe ? Suit yourself!" Ge Dongxu laughed, then took his toothbrush and towel to the bathroom to wash up.
...
The next day was Thursday and there were no afternoon classes.
Ge Dongxu cycled to the Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital as previously arranged.
Just as Ge Dongxu was about to cycle into the hospital, a Passat ca up from behind.
Ge Dongxu was riding along the edge as usual, but the Passat also insisted on staying to the edge, then honked behind him.
"Beep!" The abrupt, piercing sound made Ge Dongxu frown slightly and a flash of displeasure crossed his eyes.
As Ge Dongxu frowned, the Passat caught up from behind and pulled up alongside him.
"How are you riding your bike? Can't you stick a bit closer to the side?" The car window ca down and Chang Yufeng's head popped out, looking disdainfully at the bicycle, then scolded Ge Dongxu with a stern face.
"Think having a car is so great? A blown tire and you're worse off than a bicycle!" Ge Dongxu glanced at Chang Yufeng, then pedaled away without giving him another thought.
Chang Yufeng, angered by Ge Dongxu's mockery, stepped on the gas to catch up, when suddenly there was a gentle pop, and the tire instantly deflated.
Blown tire!
"You've got to be kidding ! Damn it!" Chang Yufeng couldn't believe his bad luck, especially after Ge Dongxu's prediction ca true, and, frustrated, got out to kick the completely deflated rear tire several tis. After that, Chang Yufeng could only call over a security guard and reluctantly removed the tire, while passing drivers, affected by his car, couldn't help but glance at him annoyedly, making Chang Yufeng even more irritated.
Today, Ge Dongxu continued his internship with He Duanrui.
Ge Dongxu arrived a little early, so he went to room 409.
"You're here, Ge Dongxu." Song Yongnan, He Duanrui's master's degree student, was already in room 409, and greeted Ge Dongxu when he pushed the door open.
The students and interns in the office probably had heard so of the unpleasantness between Ge Dongxu, Chang Yufeng, and Xie Jinmo, and when he ca in, many of them deliberately distanced themselves a bit.
After all, Chang Yufeng was the deputy director's son, and Xie Jinmo had once been Professor Tang Yiyuan's student. Moreover, both of them were now associate chief physicians and associate professors—they didn't want to risk misunderstanding with Chang Yufeng and Xie Jinmo.
Ge Dongxu, of course, didn't care and just sat down with Song Yongnan for a quiet chat. Seeing that it was about ti, he got up and went together with him to room 405 for the clinic.
The two cleared the table in the consultation room slightly, and Deputy Chief Physician He Duanrui pushed the door open and ca in.
Seeing that both were present, He Duanrui nodded, then said to Ge Dongxu, "Dongxu, just like on Monday, you and Xiao Song will listen in. If you don't understand sothing, ask."
"Certainly," Ge Dongxu nodded.
No sooner had He Duanrui sat down than patients began to co in. Several were only common illnesses. After making his diagnoses, He Duanrui would have Ge Dongxu and Xiao Song make their diagnoses and write prescriptions.
Song Yongnan, being just a student, would occasionally misdiagnose even these common illnesses, and his prescriptions were diocre, nothing outstanding.
On any other day, He Duanrui would not have found this troubling, as Song Yongnan was his student, and he knew his level well. Moreover, Traditional Chinese dicine is an experiential science, requiring the accumulation of long-term experiences; haste would not speed up the process.
However, every ti Dongxu's diagnoses were very precise and his prescriptions exceptionally fitting, leaving He Duanrui without criticism. Considering that Dongxu was even younger than Song Yongnan, He Duanrui couldn't help but feel sowhat dissatisfied with his own student.
"Xiao Song, you need to work harder. Look at Dongxu, he is younger than you, yet his dical skills are so proficient." Finally, after a patient had left, He Duanrui couldn't resist speaking earnestly to Song Yongnan.
"I will do my best, Teacher He," Song Yongnan responded, feeling particularly disheartened and frustrated.
Seeing Song Yongnan's expression, Ge Dongxu felt sowhat guilty. After all, he was a divine doctor even more formidable than Tang Yiyuan! Naturally, He Duanrui's comparing Song Yongnan to him was unfair.
Just as Ge Dongxu was feeling bad about it, two people knocked on the door and ca in.
One was the elderly woman who had co in Monday with gastritis and abdominal distension, and the other was a woman of similar age.
"Oh, Dr. He, you are such a good doctor! Not only are you kind-hearted, but your dical skills are even better. After taking the dicine you prescribed for my gastritis and abdominal distension, I've felt much more comfortable these past two days. I need you to prescribe a few more doses to completely cure it," the elderly woman said, excited and grateful as she addressed He Duanrui upon entering.
"Is it really much better?" He Duanrui glanced at Ge Dongxu, then asked sowhat incredulously.
"Much better. Not only does my stomach feel better, but I also feel more energetic overall, I'm not as cold anymore, and my constipation has improved. Speaking of constipation, this Ms. Liu is my daughter's next-door neighbor. She's been suffering from constipation for many years, and these last few days have been particularly tough. Knowing that you are kind-hearted and highly skilled, I recomnded that she co to you," said the elderly woman.
He Duanrui's face turned slightly red when he heard this, as the cure wasn't his work at all—it was all Dongxu's rit.
As for Song Yongnan, he was already astonished! He also knew clearly whose prescription had cured the elderly woman's gastritis and abdominal distension.
"Ms. Liu, please wait a mont. I'll examine you first," He Duanrui, ever the experienced Traditional Chinese dicine practitioner, quickly recovered his composure and said to the elderly woman with a smile.
"Thank you, Dr. He," the elderly woman replied and sat down obediently.
After taking her pulse and examining her tongue coating and finding a significant improvent, He Duanrui was completely reassured. He smiled and said, "Your condition is indeed better than before. I'll prescribe you five more doses of the previous dicine. However, we'll prepare the dicine for you. You just need to take it ho."
"Thank you, Dr. He, thank you so much!" the elderly woman expressed her thanks profusely.
After writing a prescription for the elderly woman based on the previous formula, He Duanrui then turned his attention to Ms. Liu's condition.
Ms. Liu was sixty-one years old and had been suffering from chronic constipation for decades; she relied on laxatives for a long ti, but the effects were diminishing. Recently, as her fire-heat symptoms beca pronounced, she took Longdan Xiegan Pills for a period, which far from aiding bowel movents, only made her feel weaker and fatigue increased; bowel movents were more difficult to pass and brought great discomfort.
After taking Ms. Liu's pulse, examining her tongue coating, and asking about her symptoms—such as irritability with a sense of heat in the heart and palms, redness at the tip and sides of the tongue, and short and dark urination—He Duanrui believed she was suffering from fire-heat symptoms. But since her constipation had worsened after taking the Longdan Xiegan Pills, he was sowhat puzzled and found himself uncertain.
