Chapter 2: Xiaowen Is Itchy Again
Got it!
Tienan hung up the phone.
Finally managed to settle the trouble with Zhang Danfeng.
From now on, no one will threaten him, and nobody will force him to get married.
However, Tienan didn't return to Fengshan Village just yet.
One reason is that today is the weekend; he finally got out, might as well relax a bit in town.
The second reason is that returning now would definitely make Zhang Danfeng suspicious.
She's quite sharp, unlike Xiaowen, who's so innocent and easy to deceive. Tienan just said Cao Lei was receiving emergency treatment, it would be hard to explain if he suddenly returned.
"Lei, get up, I'm taking you downtown!"
Tienan woke up Cao Lei, who was still sleeping in, and they quickly tidied up and left the inn.
Finally out for a while, Tienan bought a few seasonal clothes and also purchased some nutritious food supplies.
After all, Tienan had just donated so much blood; he needed to replenish himself a bit.
But Cao Lei was different; she bought quite a few cosmetics.
As the saying goes, "Women dress to please themselves," she, who usually went without makeup, gained some womanly charm after being influenced by Tienan.
"Come on, I'll take you to a traditional medicine shop."
Tienan suddenly said.
"Zhao, are you buying a batch of Chinese medicine for the clinic?"
Cao Lei tilted her head, full of confusion, and asked.
"Sort of, but mainly I'm buying some herbs for my own health, and I'll introduce you to some common herbs and their benefits."
Tienan smiled and said confidently.
"Health supplements? Is it a formula for replenishing blood?"
Cao Lei connected this to Tienan's blood donation and immediately asked.
"Not for replenishing blood, this is for boosting energy and kidney, enhancing vitality. This formula was taught to me by my mentor. If you're interested, I can teach you too."
Tienan had studied western medicine at the health school, and also learned traditional medicine from a reclusive elder.
Over the years, he's been using these supplements; otherwise, how could he have such a strong physique and impressive stamina?"Boosting kidneys and enhancing vitality? You're so young, do you really need such supplements?"
Cao Lei blushed and shyly turned her head away, not daring to meet Tienan's eyes.
"You keep crawling into my bed every night; even an iron man can't take it. If I don't replenish, sooner or later you'll drain me dry."
Tienan joked, then grabbed Cao Lei's hand and entered the traditional medicine shop together.
The two spent two days in town, returning to the clinic only on Monday morning.
"Doctor Zhao, you're finally back. My uncle, Mr. Pan, hurt his foot with a nail while organizing the warehouse yesterday; it's badly swollen now. Could you check on him?"
Tienan had just started his shift when someone approached him to check on the patient.
"A nail wound, don't worry, it's a minor issue."
"Cao Lei, please handle it: give a tetanus shot, disinfect, and bandage it, that'll do."
With interns under him, Tienan let her handle minor issues, as she's here to practice and should have a chance to gain practical experience.
Cao Lei was excited to be able to treat a patient herself and immediately strapped on her medical kit and went off with Mrs. Pan.
However, not much later, Xiaowen sneaked in quietly and opened the door.
"Tienan, do you have some time? I'm still itching, can you help me?"
