I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chapter 71: Maybe Finding Dr. Lu Will Work (1/3 5000-Word Major Chapter—Please Subscribe)


The business at Cow Eating Grass has always been good.

When Lu Xuan and Ji Xiuwen entered the restaurant, there were already quite a few people seated.

Both ordered a bowl of noodle knots at the entrance.

Lu Xuan added a lion's head meatball, while Ji Xiuwen opted for a large pork chop.

Then the two found an empty spot to sit down and wait.

Before their noodles arrived, Ji Xiuwen asked the question that was on his mind, "Lu Xuan, with your skills, you shouldn't have left the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine!"

Even though it was just one day, with hundreds of patients and Lu Xuan's acupuncture skills, Ji Xiuwen was truly astonished.

With such skills, let alone being an assistant at the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it would be more than enough for him to see patients on his own. In fact, as far as the Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctors he had heard of, Lu Xuan could definitely rank in the top three.

Yet, such a person was driven out of the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

Lu Xuan glanced at him and decided to speak the truth, "Actually, when I was at the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I was pretty much like you."

"So you're saying you became so amazing only after coming to the Health Center?" Ji Xiuwen rolled his eyes at him, thinking he was being fooled.

Lu Xuan hadn't been at the Health Center for long; Ji Xiuwen knew that. Including this week, it had only been a little over ten days.

Becoming this impressive in just over ten days, even calling it genius wouldn't be enough; even a prodigy couldn't do it.

Lu Xuan nodded earnestly. He wasn't lying, but Ji Xiuwen clearly didn't believe him.

Ji Xiuwen scoffed, "Stop joking, tell me, did you secretly hide your skills back in school?"

"You know me; do you think I'd joke about something like this?" Lu Xuan threw the question back at him.

Ji Xiuwen thought for a moment, it didn't seem like it, but he couldn't figure it out, "Then how do you explain the changes in these ten days?"

"Maybe because after coming to the Health Center, I started living a life that's like being on cheat mode!" Lu Xuan sighed.

"Damn!"

Ji Xiuwen showed Lu Xuan his middle finger, full of disdain.

"I'm serious, why don't you believe me?" Lu Xuan felt helpless, "Doesn't anyone believe the truth these days?"

Though it sounded a bit far-fetched, it was indeed the truth.

Ji Xiuwen waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it, it's been such a short time, you probably can't explain it either."

"But honestly, I used to not believe there were geniuses in this world, at least not in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine. No one could become a great doctor in their twenties or thirties, but your performance today showed me that there really are geniuses in this world..."

"No, prodigies."

"I can't be bothered talking to you." Lu Xuan felt speechless. He knew his own situation. If it weren't for a group of teachers guiding him, he would be in much the same position as Ji Xiuwen. Otherwise, why would he be the one solving so many difficult cases?

Moreover, there wouldn't be so many patients trusting him.

He knew that all of this didn't belong to him yet, but to that group of teachers.

However, Lu Xuan was confident that as long as he had enough time, he'd grow to a point where he wouldn't need his Heart's Voice.

Ji Xiuwen scoffed, "If you're not a prodigy, then there's no such thing as a prodigy in this world."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan didn't explain further. These kinds of things are hard to explain, and explaining them isn't very clear either.

Whether he told the truth or lied, Ji Xiuwen probably wouldn't believe it.

Since Ji Xiuwen called him a prodigy, then so be it.

Maybe only the word 'prodigy' could explain how he changed so dramatically in just over half a year.

As they spoke, the waiter brought over two bowls of noodles.

The two ate while they talked.

They talked about a lot, but most of the time it was Ji Xiuwen asking and Lu Xuan explaining. When they were finishing their noodles and about to leave, Ji Xiuwen seemed to remember something. He got up but then sat back down again.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xuan asked curiously when he saw Ji Xiuwen get up and sit back down.

Ji Xiuwen glanced at the people who were still waiting for a spot nearby, "Sorry, I still have something to discuss, so it might take a while."

After saying this, he showed a slightly embarrassed smile.

Those people had been waiting for a while now, thinking that Lu Xuan and Ji Xiuwen were about to leave, only to see Ji Xiuwen sit back down. If it were someone with a bad temper, they might have already lost it and started cursing.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan quickly said, "Let's go, we can talk outside so we don't disturb them while they're eating."

"Alright,"

Ji Xiuwen nodded, and the two walked out of Cow Eating Grass and headed to the nearby riverside.

After a few steps, Ji Xiuwen suddenly stopped and, after a moment of silence, said, "Lu Xuan, can you explain in detail what you told me this morning?"

"What is it?" Lu Xuan asked, puzzled.

"It's about specializing in one area."

"Oh, you're talking about that!"

Lu Xuan suddenly understood, "Actually, what I think is quite simple. You know the situation with Traditional Chinese Medicine nowadays, right? Many of the doctors don't develop comprehensively anymore; instead, they specialize in one or two specific areas. For example, our classmate Su Kenan is more inclined towards gynecology, so when I encounter patients in that area, I specifically choose some for her to try.

At other times, apart from occasionally mentioning something, I don't say much more. Specializing in one area is much easier than developing comprehensively, and a person's energy is limited, which is why I said what I did. I wanted you to think about it."

Ji Xiuwen nodded, "What you said is something I've been thinking about today as well. You're right; everyone wants to develop comprehensively, but not everyone has the ability to do so. I know my own talents, and if I try to develop comprehensively, I might end up being proficient at nothing. It might be better to follow your advice and choose a direction to concentrate on, which might yield great results."
