"Mhm."
A classmate in the class quickly called out, "I have cigarettes here."
"Good, test her with it."
The classmate immediately lit a cigarette, and Liang Yumin kept inhaling the smoke.
If it were before, after smelling the smoke for a while, her breathing would start to become rapid, and if she tilted her body or stood on her head, her limbs would twitch slightly.
Liang Yumin immediately turned herself upside down and remained that way for several minutes.
Liang Yumin stood up, feeling no discomfort in her body.
"How is it? It didn't flare up, did it?" Zhou Hong chuckled.
"It really didn't. Zhou Hong, thank you so much." Liang Yumin immediately burst into tears and rushed to hug Zhou Hong excitedly. Sudan Novel Network
"Don't come over, men and women should not touch each other." Zhou Hong quickly pushed her away.
The classmates were speechless, but they all looked at Zhou Hong in shock, thinking that perhaps Zhou Hong was just putting on a show. They hadn't expected him to actually have some skill and cure Liang Yumin's epilepsy, which she had carried since childhood and couldn't even cure abroad.
At this moment, Qin Mengxue and Qiao Xiaoyu were also incredulous, suddenly finding Zhou Hong somewhat unrecognizable, especially Qin Mengxue, who doubted if this was still the same Zhou Hong from before.
The teacher who was teaching chuckled, "Zhou Hong, I didn't expect you to have this ability. Although I've essentially wasted this class because of you."
"Haha, Teacher, I apologize for delaying your class."
"It's alright. Curing Liang Yumin's illness is more important than wasting one class. By the way, Zhou Hong, can you treat other illnesses too?" the teacher asked eagerly.
"What, Teacher, do you have a problem?" Zhou Hong asked curiously.
"To be honest, as a teacher, I stand here and teach every day, holding my head high. My cervical spondylosis is quite severe, and I often feel dizzy. But as you know, cervical spondylosis is incurable and it's too tormenting. I wonder if you could take a look at me too." The teacher said somewhat sheepishly.
"Of course, no problem. Serving teachers is a matter of course. Zhou Hong, I respect teachers the most since I was young." Zhou Hong nodded.
"Really? Then I'll trouble you."
"You're welcome. Lie down here. Cervical spondylosis is easier than epilepsy. It's nothing more than the loss of the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, pressing on nerves and blood vessels. Once I restore your cervical spine's curvature to normal, your illness will naturally disappear."
"How can it be that easy? I've undergone many treatments at the hospital."
"Hehe, for me, it's a trivial matter. Give me fifteen minutes, and I guarantee you a perfectly straight cervical spine."
"Mhm, mhm." The teacher was so excited he wanted to cry. Only those who are sick know how painful suffering from illness is. Anyone who can relieve their suffering is an angel to them.
The classmates, seeing Zhou Hong's boastful demeanor, were somewhat skeptical, but remembering Liang Yumin, they dared not say anything.
Zhou Hong immediately asked the teacher to lie down, then placed one hand under his head and gently massaged his cervical vertebrae, slowly restoring the straightened curvature. This was originally very, very difficult, even impossible. Degenerative changes in the cervical spine were irreversible wear and tear, but Zhou Hong was no ordinary person. As the former top prodigy with peak medical skills, this was just a small matter.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Alright, Teacher, your cervical spondylosis is gone."
The teacher immediately stood up and turned his head left and right. If it were before, his neck would make cracking sounds, but now, there were no cracking sounds, and he felt very relaxed. Whether looking down or up, there was no dizziness at all.
At this moment, he doubted if he was dreaming, looking at Zhou Hong in disbelief.
"Zhou Hong, thank you so much. I don't even know how to express my gratitude." The teacher said with a face full of gratitude.
"Haha, you're welcome." Zhou Hong smiled indifferently. To him, it was just a small effort.
At this moment, the entire class no longer looked at Zhou Hong with their previous gaze; their eyes were filled with admiration.
Qiao Xiaoyu and Qin Mengxue were also at a loss for words about their feelings at this moment. Zhou Hong, whom they thought could only fight, had consecutively cured Liang Yumin's epilepsy and Teacher Liu's cervical spondylosis. Setting aside other things, even if Zhou Hong could only treat these two illnesses, he would be well-off for the rest of his life and would be eagerly recruited by any major hospital.
"Zhou Hong, can you only treat these two illnesses?" At this moment, the class monitor suddenly asked.
"Hehe, how is that possible?" Zhou Hong chuckled. Seeing all his classmates looking at him with admiration, he felt a sense of satisfaction, as if to say, 'You looked down on me before, but who dares to look down on me now?'
"Ring, ring, ring...!" Just then, the bell for the end of class rang.
"Everyone, class is dismissed," the teacher quickly said.
"Zhou Hong, I'll treat you to a meal another day. Please don't refuse." The teacher said to Zhou Hong.
"You really don't need to be so polite, it was just a small effort. Alright, everyone go do what you need to do. I also need to go to the restroom." Zhou Hong walked out of the classroom to go to the restroom.
Although the classmates were still in shock, for Zhou Hong, it was a trivial matter of no consequence.
"Xiaoyu, is he really still the same... Zhou Hong?" Qin Mengxue whispered in the classroom.
"I don't know. He seems like a different person. Or perhaps he was deliberately pretending before."
"Mhm, he must have been pretending. He disguised himself as useless before, but I didn't expect him to not only play the guzheng but also know some folk remedies." Qin Mengxue nodded. At this moment, she felt a bit depressed, though she couldn't pinpoint why. She just wasn't very happy.
In contrast, Qiao Xiaoyu was in a much better mood.
She used to think Zhou Hong was a good-for-nothing, but now she suddenly realized he wasn't that bad. At least compared to many people his age, he had some advantages.
Originally, she found her engagement to Zhou Hong very difficult to accept, but now she seemed to be less resistant to it.
Of course, this didn't mean she liked Zhou Hong. It just meant that Zhou Hong wasn't so terrible, and her mood wasn't so bad. If her grandfather still insisted on forcing her to be with Zhou Hong, she wouldn't feel so unwilling.
Soon, the second class of the afternoon began.
After using the restroom, Zhou Hong returned to the classroom.
"Brother Hong," Wu Jinbin, who was in the front row, turned around and smiled at Zhou Hong, his eyes full of starry-eyed worship.
"What is it?" Zhou Hong asked grumpily.
"I didn't expect that while you're not good at studying, you have such outstanding qualities in other aspects." Wu Jinbin said with a smile.
"This is considered outstanding?" Zhou Hong smiled speechlessly. He was too lazy to show off to the people of Earth anymore, lest they run out of adjectives to describe him.
Now that he could never return to his original world, Zhou Hong felt life was meaningless. He could only live day by day.
