âEh? Traditional Huaxian medicine?â
Ji Qingyan asked, âArenât you a doctor of Western medicine? Why are you asking about traditional Huaxian medicine?â
âI have some questions about traditional Chinese medicine that I need to clarify.â
âBut the medical department of Yan University doesnât offer a specialization traditional Huaxian medicine. If you have an inquiry about this, the faculty of medicine at Yan University wonât be able to help you.â
âDidnât you just cross your heart and say that you can help me solve anything? What, can you not do it anymore? Are you holding back on me?â
âIâm being serious. Cross my heart and hope to die,â Ji Qingyan retorted.
âBesides, even though the faculty of medicine at Yan University doesnât offer a specialization in traditional Huaxian medicine, it doesnât mean that I canât help you, right?â
âDo you have connections in this area?â
âOf course.âJi Qingyan said, âDo you remember when I took you to Teacher Zhangâs house for a meal a few days ago?â
âYes, I remember. The ribs were quite delicious.â
âTeacher Zhangâs partner, Teacher Peng, is the professor and director of postgraduate studies at the faculty of medicine. With his connections, he should know people who specialize in this area.â
âThen help me ask if he can contact the people who specialize in this field. The sooner the better.â
âHmmâ¦â
Ji Qingyan hesitated for a few seconds before saying, âLetâs not talk about this over the phone. It just so happens that I donât have much to do in the afternoon. Letâs go to Teacher Zhangâs place and check it out ourselves. There are some problems that I canât explain clearly. You can meet with Teacher Peng to talk about it.â
âAlright, Iâll listen to your advice.â
âThen letâs split up and go to Teacher Zhangâs place right now. It will save us a lot of time.â
âNo problem.â
Forty minutes later, the two of them arrived at Jinyue Mansion.
Ji Qingyan was wearing a pair of black jeans with a pair of black boots.
Ji Qingyan wasnât a skinny girl. Although she looked skinny, she had a lot of meat on her.
Lin Yi had always liked girls with a little bit of meat on them.
Seeing Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan spun around proudly.
âWhat do you think? Are my new pants and boots nice?â
Lin Yi held Ji Qingyanâs hand. âDonât flatter yourself. Go upstairs and get to work. Itâs urgent.â
âYouâre such a snob.â
After learning that Lin Yi had urgent matters to attend to, Ji Qingyan didnât waste any time.
âCut the cr*p, Iâll cook you some meat tonight.â
âHehe, thatâs more like it.â Ji Qingyan smiled as she took out two gift boxes from the car. âYou carry the gifts, thereâs no reason for you to come here empty-handed.â
âNot bad, not bad at all. Youâre quite thoughtful, Iâll add another dish for you tonight.â
âNow that youâve said it, you canât go back on your word.â
âLetâs go.â
After Lin Yiâs urging, the two got into the elevator and arrived at Teacher Zhangâs house.
âWhat did I tell you last time? Youâre not allowed to buy anything if you come again. Why did you bring something here again?â Teacher Zhang greeted.
âTeacher Zhang, I didnât buy anything. Lin Yi bought everything.â
âYouâre such a kid. Youâre not allowed to buy anything next time.â
Zhang Shumin didnât say anything else after learning that Lin Yi was the one who bought the things, otherwise sheâd have continued to nag her for some time.
âStop standing at the door, come in,â Peng Xingguo walked over and said, bringing two pairs of slippers along with him.
âOkay.â
The two changed their shoes and entered the house, chatting about their daily lives. Zhang Shumin said,
âIs there something wrong with your business? Iâve been paying a lot of attention to Lingyun Group recently, and there are a few investments that turned out problematic, but Iâve already told Yuanyuan that the overall development is pretty good.â
âThank you, Teacher Zhang.â Lin Yi smiled. âIâm mainly here to ask Teacher Peng some questions.â.
âAsk me some questions?â
Peng Xingguo, who was making tea, had an unnatural expression on his face, and Zhang Shumin, who was beside him, started acting weird as well.
âLittle Yi, is this regarding a problem your are facing?â
âIt is indeed one of my problems.â
âThen wait a moment.â
Peng Xingguoâs expression became serious as he took out a pair of reading glasses from the drawer under the coffee table and stuck it on his nose.
âDonât worry, even though Iâm retired, I havenât forgotten whatâs in my head. Come with me into the room, Iâll check it out for you first. A child is a big matter, so you canât delay it.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Yi was a little confused. Iâm just here to ask some questions regarding Huaxian medicine .
What does this have to do with a baby?
âTeacher Peng, I donât need to get checked out, Iâm just here to ask some questions.â.
âYeah, Iâm here to solve your problem for you.â
Zhang Shumin kindly held Lin Yiâs hand, âLittle Yi, are you planning to have a baby with Qingyan? If you have a problem, just say it openly. Iâm almost the same age as your grandma, so thereâs nothing to be afraid of. Donât be so shy.â
âUhâ¦â
Lin Yi sensed that something was wrong and realized what the misunderstanding was.
âTeacher Peng, before you retired, which department did you work in?â
âThe urology department.â
Peng Xingguo said proudly, âLet me tell you, in the whole country, no one would dare to claim that their urology department was better than mine. I can undoubtedly cure your illness. I canât delay you from having a child.â
âPfft!â
Ji Qingyan couldnât help but laugh out loud.
Lin Yi rubbed his forehead speechlessly. âTeacher Peng, youâve misunderstood. Thatâs not what Iâm asking about.â
âThen what is it? Is there something wrong with Yanyan? Itâs not a problem. I know quite a few gynaecologists too.â Peng Xingguo said
âIt really isnât about us.â Lin Yi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
âIâd like to ask Teacher Peng if you know a Huaxian doctor. Iâd like to ask about some traditional Huaxian medicine.â
âSo thatâs what this is about.â
Peng Xingguo took off his glasses. âI do know one. She is the deputy director of Zhonghai Huaxia Medical Hospital.â
âYou know so many Huaxia doctors, why do you only remember that vixen?â Zhang Shumin said.
âHmm?!â
Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan looked at each other.
From the looks of it, Old Peng seemed to have a problematic history.
âItâs been so many years, so why do you still remember this? Besides, she was the one who pestered me all those years ago, and I just ignored her.â
âWhat? Are you not happy with me talking about her?â
âWhy wouldnât I be happy?â
Peng Xingguo desperately explained. He felt like Zhu Bajie was looking at himself in the mirror.
âLittle Yi must be in trouble if he wants to consult Huaxian medicine. My Huaxian medicine friend is more than capable of helping him. He might not be able to resolve his problem if he sought out someone else.â
Zhang Shumin rolled her eyes at Peng Xingguo. âThe choice is yours.â
Pengxing Guo shifted his gaze to Lin Yi.
âWhat problem are you talking about? Let me see whatâs the big deal.â
âI have a prescription here. I want to make a proprietary Chinese medicine and review its clinical effects before I make a report.â
âAh? You want to research medicine?â
Peng Xingguo waved his hands. âNo, this isnât something our boss can help you with. You need to hold a national license or it will be considered illegal.â
âTeacher Peng, itâs not as serious as you think. I wonât be taking the medicine with me. Once itâs produced, it can be destroyed in a public setting. I just want the experimental report.â
