Chapter 23 I want to ask you some things

  "This person's mother suffered from asthma and died of it, and many of his brothers and sisters also had similar illnesses and died of them. He himself has had this condition since childhood, but it was relatively mild until he contracted a serious illness in adulthood, after which it became more frequent. As the years went by, the symptoms worsened, and he often couldn't get out of bed due to severe headaches and abnormal breathing and heartbeat. His condition was particularly severe during winter and spring.

  Sun Simiao sighed heavily after speaking, "I've treated him for many years, but with little success. At most, I could only control his symptoms, not cure them. He's always busy with work and can't rest as I instruct, so even though he takes medicine regularly, his condition worsens every year. This worries me deeply... Alas, it seems the title of 'Divine Doctor' is undeserved. There are too many illnesses that I am powerless to treat..."

  Sun Simiao's several heavy sighs made Chen Yi very nervous, and he quickly comforted: "Sun Daolong, in this world, there is no doctor who dares to guarantee that they can cure all diseases. No matter what disease, the symptoms will be different on different people, and many times even if a correct diagnosis is made, it cannot be guaranteed to be cured. Moreover, everyone's physical condition is different, and the medicine used on others may not work for another person! Diseases are ever-changing, Daolong your medical skills are not comparable to ordinary people, you can't blame yourself like this!"

  Sun Simiao looked at Chen Yi, seemingly agreeing with his words, nodded and said: "What you said is not wrong, however, being unable to cure this person's illness has always been a regret of mine... Ziying, you understand a lot about this kind of disease, perhaps you have a way to treat it?"

  "Director Tao, you're overestimating me, I've only read a few medical books, how can I possibly treat illnesses?"

  "I believe you're a medical expert with many unknown diagnostic methods, haha!" Sun Simiao said, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Chen Yi for a moment, but then he let out a small sigh and shook his head. "Originally, I should have taken you along to examine him together, but this person's identity... it's not easy to take you to substitute for him in diagnosing the illness, alas! Let's talk about it later, haha, it's late, rest first!"

  "Yes, Master Dao! I'll take my leave!" Chen Yi thought to himself, even more puzzled. He had wanted to ask the patient who he was and also ask Sun Simiao why he had been going around diagnosing people's illnesses these past few days, but hearing this, he didn't dare say another word, so he made his bows and took his leave!

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  After returning to her room, Chen Yi lay down on the couch with her clothes still on, propping up her head with her hand and thinking about things.

  Today, I saw Sun Simiao diagnose patients and lecture his disciples on modern medical theories. This rekindled his interest in medicine, which had faded since he traveled through time to this era. He wanted to share the medical knowledge he learned from later generations, his understanding of diseases and treatments, as well as some preventive health care knowledge with people who loved medicine, especially someone like Sun Simiao who spent his life exploring medicine tirelessly. However, Chen Yi was unsure how to explain it in a way that they could understand and accept.

  And who is that noble person mentioned by Sun Simiao? Has he been going to diagnose this person's illness these days?

  When he was thinking about all sorts of things, the door was lightly knocked, and then Ning Qing's soft call came: "Ziying, are you asleep? I want to talk to you for a few words..."

  "Wait a minute!" Chen Yi immediately got up from the couch, went over to open the door, and saw Ning Qing standing outside in her nightgown, looking lovely. He hastily made a bow and said: "Qing'er, I'm still awake, come in and talk!"

  Ning Qing's face was slightly flushed, and she glanced around before quickly entering the room and closing the door behind her.

  Chen Yi noticed Ning Qing's slightly unusual movements and felt a little amused, but he restrained himself and didn't ask anything. Chen Yi also noticed that Ning Qing seemed to have just taken a bath, with a special fragrance on her body that smelled very good, and her hair was casually tied up, adding to her lovely and cute appearance.

  The little girl's body has started to develop, and you can see slight curves on her body.

  Noticing that Chen Yi was staring at her, Ning Qing showed some embarrassment and even her walking posture became somewhat unnatural, her face naturally turned red.

  Chen Yi also noticed Ning Qing's unnatural expression, and quickly withdrew his gaze that had a hint of impertinence, asking: "Qing'er, why aren't you resting yet? You've been busy all day today, aren't you tired?"

  Ning Qing shook her head, looking down and not daring to look at Chen Yi, softly replying: "I'm not tired, I didn't do anything today, just helped Master write some prescriptions. The things I used to do were much more than this!"

  "I didn't even do anything, just sat there watching Sun Daochang diagnose people's illnesses, couldn't help at all!" Chen Yi said with a self-deprecating smile.

  Two people sat down beside the bed, and under the dim light, Ning Qing tidied up his body and glanced at Chen Yi a few times, saying carefully: "Ziying, I... can't sleep. Will you chat with me for a while? I want to ask you some things!"

  "It's not very late yet, I couldn't sleep either, just thinking of finding someone to talk to, and you came over at the right time. I was worried that you might be asleep!" Chen Yi tried to avoid Ning Qing's embarrassment, making an effort to appear as if he hadn't noticed anything, speaking with a bright smile.

  "I couldn't sleep!" Ning Qing raised his eyes and looked at Chen Yi, hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Ziying, actually I want to know... why do you understand so much about medicine? Even my master was very surprised, I've never seen him listen to someone talk about medicine like this before!"

  "I told you, I must have read some old medical books that recorded the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. Today, I just happened to encounter such a patient, and Sun Daozhang asked me about it, so I blabbered on, definitely with many mistakes, haha!" Chen Yi laughed self-deprecatingly, quickly changing the subject, asking Ning Qing: "Qing'er, you've followed Sun Daozhang for so many years, surely you also understand a lot about medicine. Why didn't he let you diagnose those patients this time?"

  Ning Qing could only speak in accordance with Chen Yi's meaning, she shook her head and said: "I just told my master a little bit about the surface, I don't understand much, and I rarely diagnose patients. Plus, I'm still young, so of course, my master wouldn't let me diagnose patients on my own. Even my two senior brothers only started diagnosing patients independently from last year, and for some difficult diseases, they still need to ask our master."

  "Your master is the greatest doctor of our time, and if you say you're Sun Daochang's apprentice, no matter how old you are, many people will believe in your medical skills. At least I do, next time I get sick, I'll definitely come to you for a diagnosis!" Chen Yi said with a smile.

  Although it was a joke, Chen Yi really couldn't help but imagine that if this little beauty in front of him were to diagnose his illness and enjoy her soft and tender hands touching him, it should feel great, right?
