The Young Urban Doctor

Luo Ziling whispered something into Yang Qingyin's ear.

Immediately, Yang Qingyin's pretty face turned bright red, and she abruptly pulled her hand from Luo Ziling's grip.

Luo Ziling had just finished taking her pulse but hadn't let go right away; instead, he kept his three fingers on her wrist.

Luo Ziling had indeed intended to let go, not wishing to be rude, even though he very much wanted to hold onto Yang Qingyin's hand.

Yang Qingyin, not angry but curious after she freed her hand, looked at Luo Ziling, "It seems your medical skills are pretty good, truly from a Family of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but... why are you studying clinical medicine?"

Luo Ziling grinned, "I still don't know what you study, yet you know I'm here to study medicine, that's a bit unfair."

"There are quite a few posts about you on the university forum, haven't you paid attention?" Yang Qingyin asked with a tilt of her head, somewhat incredulously.

Luo Ziling laughed sheepishly, "I've never paid attention, so I don't know anything."

He suddenly recalled the incident when he cast a vote for himself and felt a bit embarrassed.

"You said there's something wrong with my body, so how should it be treated?"

"You need to have regular meals, three times a day at set times, with a balance of meat and vegetables, and your condition will definitely improve soon. How about I prescribe a formula for you, and if you can follow my medical advice for half a month, all those symptoms I mentioned earlier will ease. Remember, the key to health is prevention, and treatment is a last resort, keep that in mind, keep that in mind!"

"Why can't it be completely cured?" Yang Qingyin became more curious about Luo Ziling and couldn't help asking again.

"What I mean is, even with drug treatment, your body will need to adapt to a changed lifestyle for a while before it can fully recover. However, medication combined with acupuncture and massage can quickly cure that later condition of yours. How about I teach you how to massage a few acupoints, so you can do it yourself regularly?" Not waiting for Yang Qingyin to express any doubts, Luo Ziling told her the location of several acupoints and how to massage them.

"In half a month, I'll know how effective your medical skills are," Yang Qingyin said again, showing a playful expression and smiling at Luo Ziling.

If the people who knew Yang Qingyin saw her performance tonight, they would all be shocked.

Always maintaining a composed demeanor, rarely showing a smile to anyone, and appearing aloof like a goddess, she was surprisingly displaying so many smiles in front of a boy. Surely, those who saw it would feel distressed and have difficulty sleeping.

Has the goddess fallen, or is it because she's facing her male god?---both reasons are heartbreaking.

Why isn't that radiant smile meant for them? Boys would surely think this way.

"You don't need to wait half a month; you might feel a difference in a couple of days, of course, provided you take the medicine as I've instructed. This prescription comes from my grandfather's own research, and it has never failed to work," Luo Ziling said with great confidence.

Grandpa once said that with this prescription alone, one could live a life without financial worries.

"I will remember that and will do as you've instructed," Yang Qingyin stepped closer to Luo Ziling and looked up at him, "I'm going now. I've decided to add some meat to my dinner tonight, thanks to your advice."

"Shall I treat you to dinner?"

"Let's make it a deal, once you've got my body back in shape, I'll treat you!" Yang Qingyin seemed very happy and spoke playfully.

"Alright. Oh, and another piece of advice, make sure to exercise," Luo Ziling resumed a serious expression, addressing Yang Qingyin earnestly: "Your body is too frail, seeing you reminds me of Pin Er."

"Pin Er?"

"The little sister Daiyu from 'Dream of the Red Chamber'."

"What if a strong wind blew me into Lake Wuming, what then?"

Seeing Yang Qingyin make a joke with a serious face, Luo Ziling replied soberly, "A puff of breath could blow you back to shore."

"You could also blow bulls to the sky!" Yang Qingyin was once again amused by Luo Ziling.

Her devastatingly beautiful smile made Luo Ziling completely lose himself in the moment.

"I'm off," without saying when they would meet again or where, Yang Qingyin waved goodbye to a somewhat stunned Luo Ziling, tilted her head, bit her lip and smiled at him, then gracefully left.

Just like last time, Luo Ziling stood still, watching Yang Qingyin's figure recede into the distance before he slowly began to walk away.

He needed to calm his emotions and didn't want to go back to the dormitory just yet.

But he had only walked a few steps on the path when someone appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

Upon closer inspection, it was the handsome student he felt jealous of at the lake, who had been standing with Yang Qingyin.

"Are you Luo Ziling?" The other party asked first, with an unmistakable unfriendliness in his eyes.

"I am. Is there something I can do for you?" Luo Ziling had already guessed the person's intention but he asked anyway.

"Nothing much, just hoping you have some self-awareness to not set your sights on Qingyin and to avoid trouble for yourself," the student didn't bother with introductions but made his point directly, "She's my girlfriend, and I think you wouldn't stoop so low as to try and steal someone's girlfriend, would you?"

Upon hearing this, and detecting the threat and ridicule in his tone, Luo Ziling instantly became angry. He looked at the other man coldly and replied curtly, "You're no one to me, we don't know each other, and I have no interest in getting to know you. Who I associate with is none of your business to arrange."

Luo Ziling had initially felt some appreciation for this handsome man with an air of nobility, but the threat instantly wiped it away. Who do you think you are, daring to make such demands of me, when you're not even my grandfather---this was what Luo Ziling was thinking at that moment.

He also understood what was going on; the man before him was surely pursuing Yang Qingyin, but she had not accepted. Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have stopped him to say such things; it was a clear sign of insecurity and lack of confidence.

If the two really were girlfriend and boyfriend, Yang Qingyin wouldn't have let him leave first just then and he wouldn't have needed to say such threatening words. With this realization, Luo Ziling felt immediately relieved.

Cao Jianhui had told him that Yan University's top beauty, Yang Qingyin, didn't have a boyfriend. Cao's information was likely accurate.

The man hadn't expected Luo Ziling to be so prideful, not giving him any face, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

But excellent upbringing still made him restrain his anger, and he spoke in a more moderated tone than before, "I hope you'll still consider this, her status is something you can't even imagine, she is way out of your league. If you persist in your delusion and keep bothering her, you might attract huge trouble one day. You may even end up leaving Yan University, losing the chance to study here altogether."

"Don't worry yourself on my behalf," Luo Ziling was even colder than the other, replying curtly, "My relationships and who she chooses to spend time with have nothing to do with you."

"Hmph!" Seeing that Luo Ziling was not acknowledging his advice, the man finally couldn't hold back, snorted heavily in anger, and left indignantly.

Watching the man's angry departure, Luo Ziling thought about the handsome man he had seen beside Ouyang Huihui the other day and felt slightly odd. It seemed that beautiful girls always had suitors, and interacting with them might provoke many of these admirers. Too many flies can indeed be annoying.

Nevertheless, he wasn't worried in the slightest; apart from his grandfather, he had never been afraid of anyone else in his life!
