Such a beautiful woman!
That was Li Qianfan’s first thought upon seeing the woman.
The woman, in her thirties, had a curvaceous figure that was fiery to the extreme. She had big wavy hair dyed maroon, which set off her already fair skin, making it as white as snow; she wore sunglasses that covered half of her face, revealing only her tightly closed lips and slightly furrowed brows, giving her a cool demeanor.
She wore a loose Korean-style T-shirt that still couldn’t conceal her towering curves, which quivered as she walked, dazzling to onlookers; her skirt was short, ending mid-thigh, exposing her long legs, and she wore high heels, walking with a strong, determined stride, as if ready to burst forth at any moment.
Her face was ashen, and her eyes flickered with sparks of anger, making her seem unapproachable.
However, what surprised Li Qianfan was not just the woman’s beauty but the name she called out.
Chu Mingyue!
Li Qianfan had a deep impression of that name, the belle of his high school class, which made him look around inquisitively, could it be that Chu Mingyue was working as a doctor at Ruyi Hall?
“Madam, this is a clinic, please do not make a scene.”
Soon, a staff member rushed forward to stop the beautiful woman from continuing to rage.
Isn’t this courting death?
Li Qianfan shook his head in disbelief; interrupting a woman on the verge of explosion, what’s the difference between that and seeking death?
As expected, the woman shoved the staff member aside and shouted angrily, “Have Chu Mingyue come out to see me this instant, or else I’ll smash up Ruyi Hall!”
The woman’s extreme behavior left many customers puzzled, and Li Qianfan was even more baffled, what on earth had Chu Mingyue done to anger her to such an extent.
“Miss Qi, what’s wrong with you?”
Just then, a voice that warmed the hearts of the listeners arose in the distance, followed by the sound of high heels tapping the ground, the footsteps hurried, obviously the owner of the footsteps was very anxious.
Li Qianfan quickly turned his head to look, and when he saw the woman who walked out of the consulting room, his eyes lit up. Indeed, it was Chu Mingyue, the belle of his high school class.
He hadn’t expected that after graduation, Chu Mingyue would actually come to work as a doctor at her family’s clinic.
In Li Qianfan’s memory, Chu Mingyue’s grades were particularly outstanding, and he had thought she would definitely strive to get into a top university like Tsinghua or Peking University. It seemed that she had ultimately chosen medical school.
Years had passed, and Chu Mingyue hadn’t changed much, still as pretty as before, but now she appeared more mature and possessed an additional air of elegance.
Chu Mingyue was one meter seventy-three, not too voluptuous, but with a well-proportioned figure.
She was dressed in a pristine white lab coat that billowed about her, making her look both professional and elegant. Her features were delicately beautiful, her eyes bright and lively, her nose straight, and her lips a rosy red.
Her hair was neatly put into a bun, giving her a crisp, efficient appearance, and added to her capable air, making her very pleasing to see.
“What do you mean, ‘What’s wrong with me?'”
Seeing Chu Mingyue’s puzzled expression, Qi Ying became even angrier, she scolded, “You’ve made my condition worse, you kept saying that it would be fine after taking a few doses of medicine, but now it’s worse, what am I to do?”
Made the condition worse?
Hearing this, many customers showed surprised expressions, especially those who were visiting Ruyi Hall for the first time, and after pondering, they quietly left the clinic.
However, the regular customers of Ruyi Hall did not rush to leave but chose to wait and observe the situation first.
“Miss Qi, let’s talk in the consulting room, not here in front of everyone.”
Seeing patients leaving, Chu Mingyue immediately invited Qi Ying to the consulting room.
But Qi Ying flatly refused Chu Mingyue’s invitation; she turned and walked to the waiting area, plopping down not far from Li Qianfan. She said, “Today, I will sit right here; who knows how you might trick me in the consulting room. Now, you must give me an explanation, and if not, I will start smashing the place right now.”
Faced with such a bold woman, Chu Mingyue seemed somewhat at a loss and immediately said, “Miss Qi, your condition is quite special, please come to the consulting room, I will reexamine you.”
“What’s so special about it?”
Qi Ying, fiery to the extreme, declared in front of many patients, “Isn’t it just some red pimples down there? It’s normal for a woman to have gynecological issues, what’s there to be embarrassed about?”
Discussing her pimples down there in front of everyone.
Whether to mention or not, this lady sure had guts.
Yet, feeling the burning gazes of the customers, Qi Ying’s face flushed, and a look of embarrassment appeared in her eyes, clearly regretting her actions.
Chu Mingyue was a woman with high emotional intelligence. Noticing Qi Ying’s embarrassment, she said, “Miss Qi, actually, the pimples might just be because the weather is too hot, plus you like to eat spicy food, leading to the pimples from heat. It might be due to my oversight that I did not prescribe the right medicine.
Could you please come to the consulting room, and I will give you a new diagnosis?”
“I’ll give you one more chance!”
Qi Ying was also quite perceptive. Seeing that Chu Mingyue gave her an out, she immediately took it.
Watching Qi Ying’s retreating figure, Li Qianfan’s gaze grew more serious. Chu Mingyue was wrong just now; Qi Ying’s acne wasn’t due to the hot and dry weather or eating spicy foods that caused heatiness.
It was because she suffered from a very serious inflammation, coupled with her lack of attention to maintaining her body, which led to an excess of cold energy inside, causing many pimples to appear down there. If she took medicine to reduce heatiness, it would only make the acne worse.
The cold energy within Qi Ying was very special, giving physicians the false impression of ‘heatiness.’
If it were any other physician, Li Qianfan might not have intervened, but remembering that Chu Mingyue once helped him, he simply could not stand by and watch this happen.
With that thought, Li Qianfan got up and went to the door of the consultation room, eavesdropping on their conversation.
As expected, after re-examining Qi Ying, Chu Mingyue still believed that the acne was caused by ‘heatiness’ and even said she would prescribe a larger dose of heat-reducing medication for Qi Ying.
Hearing this, Li Qianfan panicked. If Qi Ying took more heat-reducing medicine, the cold energy within her body would become even more rampant, and the acne would only increase.
“Mingyue, your diagnosis is wrong. You can’t give the patient heat-reducing medicine.”
Li Qianfan pushed open the door of the consultation room and said with a serious face.
At these words, Chu Mingyue looked up. When she saw it was a young man wearing sunglasses and holding a white cane, her lovely eyebrows furrowed, but she still asked politely, “Who might you be?”
“You don’t recognize me?”
Li Qianfan did not reveal his identity directly but asked with a smile.
Chu Mingyue shook her head. In her memory, she indeed did not know any blind person. However, the face before her gave her a sense of déjà vu, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
“I am Li Qianfan, your high school classmate, the one who once lent me five hundred yuan.”
Li Qianfan said in one breath, and at the end, he added, “Do you remember now?”
“So it’s you!”
Upon learning the identity of Li Qianfan, Chu Mingyue stood up with surprise, but quickly became serious and asked, “Li Qianfan, what happened to your eyes…?”
“It’s nothing, just a minor accident. I went blind.”
Li Qianfan still did not reveal the whole truth. Since he was going to keep it secret, it had to be from everyone. After all, Taoyuan County was only so big, and the village bully knew many people in the county town; word could soon reach the ‘village bully’s’ ears. Of course, the chance was slim, but he had to be cautious.
“Chu Mingyue, are you here to treat my illness, or to catch up with your friend?”
Qi Ying said with displeasure.
“Uh… I’ll treat your illness first, I’ll go get your medicine right now.”
Clearly, Chu Mingyue did not take Li Qianfan’s earlier remark to heart.
“Mingyue, as I said earlier, your diagnosis is wrong. If you continue to give her heat-reducing medicine, the acne will only get worse,” Li Qianfan said seriously.
“My diagnosis is indeed heatiness!” Chu Mingyue replied.
“Miss, may I take your pulse?”
Li Qianfan did not continue the exchange with Chu Mingyue and instead turned to Qi Ying to ask.
Qi Ying asked with confusion, “You know medicine?”
Li Qianfan nodded emphatically, “I’ve studied some medicine. Letting me take your pulse won’t cause you any harm. Perhaps, I might even be able to cure your illness?”
“Alright then.” Qi Ying felt his words were pretty reasonable and thus offered her hand to Li Qianfan.
With his right index and middle fingers resting on Qi Ying’s soft wrist, Li Qianfan couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He had to admit, her skin was smooth and silky, like milk.
But Li Qianfan did not forget his purpose, carefully examining Qi Ying’s body condition.
Chu Mingyue did not stop Li Qianfan, watching his professional pulse-taking technique, she felt slightly surprised within. Had Li Qianfan also learned Chinese medicine in the few years they hadn’t seen each other?
About half a minute later, Li Qianfan spoke up, “Mingyue, the patient is not suffering from acne due to heatiness, but because of a very serious inflammation!”
“What inflammation? I’ve always been very hygienic. How could I possibly have such an illness?”
Qi Ying glared, clearly dissatisfied with Li Qianfan’s diagnosis. She found the idea of having a severe inflammation less acceptable than having acne due to heatiness.
“Does your husband like to use delay spray when you’re intimate?”
Earlier, while Li Qianfan was using True Qi to examine Qi Ying’s body, he sensed the components of a delay spray, which wasn’t something a woman would need. That most likely pointed to Qi Ying’s husband…
