569: Chapter 569: Study Hard, Make Progress Every Day 569: Chapter 569: Study Hard, Make Progress Every Day One by one, Tangyu made calls, and after a full thirty minutes she put away her phone, her gains a full measure of warmth and affection.
Her lips also rose in a wickedly curved smile, like the crescent of the moon.
The feeling of others caring and worrying was truly wonderful.
However, Tangyu didn’t dare to keep her phone on for long, fearing that calls would come in every minute.
So she decisively turned it off.
It seemed it was time to prepare a new number since this one had become known to too many people.
Just as she put down her phone, Tangyu’s gaze shifted and she caught sight of a figure lurking suspiciously outside the school doctor’s office.
It was then that she recognized Doctor Yang.
Upon seeing that Tangyu had noticed him, Doctor Yang approached with a chuckle, his face full of flattery and respect, “Hehe, Divine Doctor Tang, I always thought you were a Flood Dragon in a pond, and once you leaped out, you’d transform into a dragon, causing a sensation.
Tsk tsk, Divine Doctor Tang, your nearly Divine Technique-like performance these past few days has been truly eye-opening, bringing a whole new understanding to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
One can’t help but admire you to the core.”
Seeing Doctor Yang’s fawning demeanor, the corners of Tangyu’s mouth lifted slightly.
She had never been fond of such people and would ignore them as long as they didn’t provoke her.
She had turned a blind eye to his small actions in the past.
Although it is said that one shouldn’t strike a smiling face, it was clearly difficult for Tangyu to show a friendly face to Doctor Yang and she responded coolly, “Doctor Yang, that’s quite some foresight you have there, but I dare not accept the title of Divine Doctor.”
Doctor Yang seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Tangyu’s words, and the sycophantic tone on his face thickened as he said, “Hehe, I have seen numerous people in my life, but only Divine Doctor Tang gave me the impression of the Wenqu Star descending from heaven, destined for a Boundless future, at least bound to cause a sensation.
Although I anticipated the outcome, I did not expect Divine Doctor Tang to cause a sensation so swiftly, which is indeed a delightful and congratulatory event.
You rightfully deserve the title of Divine Doctor, Divine Doctor Tang, and it’s also recognized by society at large.
Divine Doctor Tang, you shouldn’t be too modest.”
The title of Divine Doctor Tangyu had indeed been recognized by all sectors of society, and even the old-timers in the Traditional Chinese Medicine community absolutely acknowledged the name Divine Doctor Tangyu.
With Tangyu’s current fame, if she didn’t have the right to be called a Divine Doctor, then there wouldn’t be a second person in the whole land of Huaxia who would.
“Doctor Yang, I’m on duty today; you should go back and rest,” Tangyu said, effectively giving him the dismissal.
Doctor Yang’s face tensed slightly, but it was quickly masked by a full layer of fawning.
He was filled with regret in his heart.
Why did he have to provoke Tangyu in the first place?
If he hadn’t provoked Tangyu, he could be basking in her glory now, and maybe even use her connections to secure a bright future; he wouldn’t have to spend his whole life in this school doctor’s office without prospects.
But, after all, there is no pill for regret in this world.
So, Doctor Yang could only come to flatter Tangyu desperately.
“Hehe, no worries, no worries, when people get older, if they don’t move around, they feel uncomfortable.
I’m just idly chatting here.
Divine Doctor Tang, you have a different status now; you should let me do the grunt work.
Let me be your assistant,” Doctor Yang continued to butter her up.
Tangyu was displeased, this Doctor Yang really didn’t seem to get the hint, “No need, I can handle my own affairs.
Alright, Doctor Yang, please leave.
I’m still working here.”
Hearing Tangyu’s direct dismissal, Doctor Yang naturally did not dare to persist and cling on, only able to nod his head in resignation, “Alright, alright, then I won’t disturb Divine Doctor Tang further.
But if there’s anything you need, one phone call and I’ll be right there.
I know Divine Doctor Tang is very busy, so I’ll wait for your call at any time.” Saying that, Doctor Yang left the school medical office and Tangyu couldn’t be bothered to pay him any mind.
She had always despised this kind of person’s demeanor.
No sooner had Doctor Yang been sent away than two female students walked in, one supporting the other.
Tangyu’s gaze fell on the two girls, who appeared to be in their senior year of high school, seventeen or eighteen years old.
At that age, they had all grown tall and graceful; in ancient times, girls so old could already be sent to fetch soy sauce.
Although they were not exceptionally beautiful, they were quite cute and pleasing to the eye; by general standards, they could be considered potential little beauties.
As soon as they entered the room, their gaze continuously swept over Tangyu as if they had seen a treasure, their eyes practically shining.
When they realized that Tangyu’s gaze had swept over them, they immediately reined in their behavior like they had done something wrong.
The small movements made by the young girls were especially cute.
Retracting their gazes for a moment, they couldn’t help but sneak another look.
It was only these young girls who could exhibit such a charmingly innocent side.
Tangyu didn’t say anything, watching what these two girls were up to.
And so, the two stood in front of Tangyu, occasionally stealing glances at her, and quickly looking away when caught, with flushes occasionally rising on their faces.
In this way, the two sides stared at each other for a full four or five minutes until the girl who was supporting the other spoke up, “Doctor Tang, Xiaoxiao isn’t feeling well, so I accompanied her to see you.” Saying this, she subtly nudged the girl named Xiaoxiao with her foot.
Xiaoxiao immediately responded, suddenly clutching her belly and with a pained expression said, “Yes, Doctor Tang, my stomach really hurts, please have a look.”
Seeing the two’s clumsy performance, Tangyu really wanted to laugh, but still managed to hold it in and said earnestly, “Alright, stretch out your hand, and I’ll take your pulse.”
“Ah, taking the pulse, the legendary technique of traditional Chinese medicine,” the girl assisting Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up, immediately showing interest.
In recent days, the popularity of traditional Chinese medicine had reached unprecedented levels, and there were probably few people who didn’t understand some of the basic concepts of traditional Chinese medicine.
Western medicine, upon visiting the doctor, often involved a set of tests regardless of whether you are sick, with the doctor concluding after the checks.
However, traditional Chinese medicine is much simpler.
The basics of a traditional Chinese medical examination include observing, smelling, palpating, and listening.
Just by looking at the complexion and feeling the pulse, the condition can be discerned.
The two young girls were evidently being diagnosed this way for the first time and were both surprised and excited.
Xiaoxiao was clearly curious as well, her eyes wide with excitement as she looked at Tangyu, seemingly having waited a long time for this.
When she caught Tangyu’s gaze, Xiaoxiao once again put on a pained expression.
It made Tangyu really want to laugh—didn’t she realize how poor her acting was?
Any intelligent person could see through it, let alone someone as smart and handsome as Great Marshal Tang.
Was she trying to fool herself or Tangyu?
They say a girl in love has a zero IQ; could it be that such little fans also have their IQ drop to zero?
Tangyu’s lips curved slightly as he took Xiaoxiao’s pulse; the girls these days did a good job taking care of themselves, her little hand was soft and smooth, quite a nice feel to it.
Having her hand touched by Tangyu, the smile on Xiaoxiao’s face also thickened, her expression brimming with sly delight.
Tangyu’s face suddenly turned stern and serious.
Seeing the change in Tangyu’s expression, the smile on Xiaoxiao’s face slowly faded, and she looked at her best friend with some confusion and then back at Tangyu with nervousness.
Seeing that Tangyu remained silent with a deep frown, her heart thumped chaotically, and she tentatively asked, “Doctor Tang, I’m not sick, am I?”
Tangyu said with a serious face, “Not sick?
If only that were true, it’s a big issue.”
“What?” Xiaoxiao was instantly dumbfounded, standing there like she had been struck by lightning, her mind going blank.
Tangyu’s medical skills were undeniable, recognized by all sectors of society, with many even dubbing him the number one Divine Doctor in Huaxia.
He could easily cure even late-stage cancer patients.
To be told by him that it was a big issue, what kind of illness could she have?
She was utterly flabbergasted and at a loss.
She had only faked illness to find an excuse to see Doctor Tang, so how had this examination uncovered a serious problem?
Xiaoxiao’s best friend was also stunned, blinking and unable to speak for a moment.
Seeing that he had truly frightened the two of them, Tangyu finally let go of Xiaoxiao’s hand and began to laugh, “I was just playing with you.”
The two of them remained stunned.
“Hey, snap out of it, it was just a joke.
You’re not sick, so why pretend to be?
I could tell you were faking it from the moment you came in.
With that little game of house, you thought you could deceive me?” Tangyu said.
“Oh, so it was just a joke, you scared me to death.
Divine Doctor Tang, you’re really too mean.
Don’t you know that scaring people could scare them to death?
Luckily, I have a thick skin; otherwise, I might have lost half my life right there,” Xiaoxiao finally calmed down, patting her chest to console herself.
“Divine Doctor Tang, you actually played such a joke on us?” Xiaoxiao’s best friend looked at Tangyu with a strange expression.
“What’s wrong, can’t a doctor make a joke?
Can’t a handsome guy make a joke?
You tried to trick me, and I scared you in return.
Let’s call it even.
Alright, if there’s nothing wrong, hurry back to class and study hard, strive every day to be a good child who doesn’t worry their mother,” Tangyu said.
Xiaoxiao pouted, “Come on, you sound just like my dad.
We just wanted to find an excuse to see you, you have no idea how much we idolize you, you’re our absolute idol.
Doctor Tang, we’re both really smart and have a gift for this—you should take us as your apprentices.
We’ll definitely study Traditional Chinese Medicine diligently and promote it in the future, ensuring we won’t disgrace you.
What do you say, won’t you consider it?
We can do household chores and warm beds too,” she said.
“Uh—”
The girls of today were formidable indeed, and Tangyu was at a loss for words, “Do you think I’m recruiting nuns here?
What do I need with your ‘gift’?
Teaching you two would be a joke to the Traditional Chinese Medicine community.
I’m about real skill, not just being an idol; I don’t want to be anyone’s idol, so please don’t idolize me.
Now, go do what you need to and if you fake being sick again, I’ll put you straight on the blacklist,” he said.
“Do you think you’re a phone, having a blacklist?
Hmph, fine, don’t take us on, it’s no big deal.
The more you say no, the more determined we are to prove ourselves to you.
We’ll be taking our college entrance exams next year anyway; I’ll just apply to study Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I refuse to believe I can’t learn it well.
In the future, if I become a female divine doctor, I’ll come back and infuriate you, make you regret with nowhere to repent.
You’ll regret not cherishing such good prospects as us.
Sniff, but Doctor Tang, I still really want to be your apprentice, please consider it for the sake that I can warm your bed,” Xiaoxiao said.
“I’m not considering it,” Tangyu flatly shook his head and replied.
Xiaoxiao glared at Tangyu and stomped off with her best friend, huffing in indignation.
Tangyu shook his head with a smile, youth is so good, innocence is so good.
