"Maybe I'll just stay at the Health Center," Lu Xuan said thoughtfully.

Ji Xiuwen's eyes widened: "What do you mean? You can't be thinking of staying at the Health Center, right?"

"The director treats us well, but you don't have to stay at the Health Center. If you stay here, where is the future?"

"Actually, it doesn't really matter. After all, even if I see patients at the Health Center, it doesn't stop me from going to United South. If I go to United South, does it really matter whether I go to a big hospital or not?"

Ji Xiuwen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Indeed, if you go to United South, you don't have to worry about reputation, because anyone who can see patients there must be a capable Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor. Otherwise, those chief doctors wouldn't be fighting tooth and nail for an invitation to the United South Chinese Medicine Association.

But the key is...

If you stay at the Health Center, people don't take you seriously!

Ji Xiuwen wanted to say this but didn't know how to.

The key is, Director Hu Meiqiao is indeed quite nice to them. Lu Xuan practically has full control over the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, getting whatever he wants. He even heard that the director plans to hire three or four staff members specializing in dispensing medicine so that he can fully devote himself to learning, become a good assistant, and sooner or later, stand on his own.

If he persuaded Lu Xuan to leave now, it would seem somewhat ungrateful.

Most importantly, since Lu Xuan himself plans to stay, he couldn't say much more.

Moreover, even staying at the Health Center, as long as you're famous and skilled, you can still receive an invitation from the United South Chinese Medicine Association.

It's just that it might be delayed by a year or two.

A year or two isn't short, but for Lu Xuan, who is only twenty-five or twenty-six, it's definitely not long. Even after another four or five years, Lu Xuan would still only be thirty.

Joining the United South Chinese Medicine Association at thirty, he can still break the record set since its establishment.

Lu Xuan would become the youngest doctor to ever see patients at United South.

Thinking of these things, Ji Xiuwen didn't say more, "I won't say much about your personal matters. You decide what to do."

Lu Xuan nodded and suddenly said, "By the way, if I really do go to the United South Chinese Medicine Association, don't feel too much pressure."

???

Ji Xiuwen looked puzzled.

Lu Xuan patted his shoulder: "After all, it's not something that can be achieved by effort alone. It's innate."

At first, Ji Xiuwen didn't react, but when he did, he realized Lu Xuan had already gotten up, paid for breakfast, and headed straight to the Health Center, leaving only a dashing figure behind.

Watching Lu Xuan walk into the Health Center's gate and recalling that sentence just now, Ji Xiuwen was initially angry but then sighed the next moment.

Though Lu Xuan was joking, what he said was indeed true.

The ability to memorize things in a glance isn't something that can be overcome by effort.

Going to United South to see patients is possible for him.

But trying to catch up with Lu Xuan is simply an unattainable goal.

...

A day flew by.

After the last patient left with their medicine, Ji Xiuwen couldn't help stretching and walked out of the pharmacy, thinking of tomorrow's gathering. He couldn't help but ask, "Lu Xuan, are you really not going tomorrow?"

"Really not going."

Lu Xuan shook his head, "I have important things to do tomorrow."

"You're not going to another hospital to do a flying knife, are you?"

Ji Xiuwen casually asked. After knowing that Lu Xuan's first flying knife fee was as high as twenty thousand, he wasn't surprised anymore if any hospital invited Lu Xuan for a flying knife because his old classmate's skills were evident.

"No."

Lu Xuan shook his head. He initially wanted to say he was going to see patients at United South, but remembering that the flying knife fee of twenty thousand bucks in the morning had already depressed Ji Xiuwen a bit, he feared mentioning the United South consultation might blow his mind.

After all, if someone thought that Lu Xuan wouldn't get an invitation to United South in a short time and then the next day he went to see patients at the United South Chinese Medicine Association—who could stand that?

Honestly, Lu Xuan thought he couldn't stand it himself.

Thinking of others like himself, his old classmate probably couldn't either.

He thought instead, after getting settled on the other side, he could try to bring Ji Xiuwen over to be his assistant, giving him a surprise.

With this thought, Lu Xuan suddenly felt he was being outrageously good to Ji Xiuwen.

That's how you'd treat your own son.

Ji Xiuwen didn't think much. Seeing Lu Xuan wouldn't say, he instinctively glanced at Su Kenan, who was tidying up. He wondered if the two were going on a date over the weekend?

The Lu Xuan he knew was basically a homebody, rarely going out, and not paying attention to things outside.

Having plans for the weekend and not doing a flying knife, what else could he be doing but going on a date with the white moonlight in everyone's mind from Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine?

After all, the Traditional Chinese Medicine department doesn't work on weekends at the Health Center.

Thinking about this, Ji Xiuwen felt the likelihood was high.

And knowing Su Kenan was a shy character, she just gave the two a deep look and then gave Lu Xuan an inexplicable cheer: "Impressive, my old classmate."

"Let's go, have dinner, and then go to the Ninth Hospital tonight."

Saying this, Ji Xiuwen slung his bag over his shoulder and walked out by himself, "By the way, I'll order the food first. We'll splurge tonight again."

It's better to be less of a third wheel.

However, just as he finished talking, he saw Lu Xuan catching up with him.

Ji Xiuwen was surprised, "How did you catch up so fast? Didn't you have anything to say to Su Kenan?"

Su Kenan?

Lu Xuan didn't think much, casually replied, "I've already talked to her!"

"What can you say in such a short time?" Ji Xiuwen almost wanted to punch his old classmate. Do you even know how to date?

You need to coax the girl. Leaving so quickly, won't she be upset?

Even if she's upset, that's fine, but what if she takes it out on him later? After all, now that Lu Xuan is with him, Ji Xiuwen doesn't want to suffer as innocent collateral.

"Haven't you at least seen pigs running even if you haven't eaten pork?"

Feeling exasperated, Ji Xiuwen said, "Saying you're a pig might be insulting to pigs; they're probably smarter than you."

Lu Xuan looked puzzled.

Ji Xiuwen didn't bother saying more. After all, it wouldn't be him getting told off later.

Then, without saying another word, he slung his arm over Lu Xuan's shoulder and said, "Come on, let's eat."

"You need to explain this to me; I'm so confused by what you said."

"I'll tell you during dinner. Brother will teach you a few tricks. Don't be fooled by the fact I haven't eaten pork. I've researched a lot about this stuff. You can try them out, and I'll know if they actually work for when I put them to practice later on."

Lu Xuan thought Ji Xiuwen was talking about something Traditional Chinese Medicine-related and agreed without thinking.

...

At the dinner table.

Taking advantage of the time the boss was serving the dishes, Ji Xiuwen cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I also saw this online. Don't mind if you've already seen it, just consider it a drill."

Lu Xuan was puzzled but still nodded.

"Apologize."

"Huh?"

Ji Xiuwen emphasized, "Apologize."

Lu Xuan was quite confused, thinking he must have done something wrong, nodded instinctively, and said, "I'm sorry."

"Not sincere enough."

Hearing this familiar conversation, Lu Xuan's mind raced, he finally remembered, and looked at Ji Xiuwen with annoyance, "Aren't you supposed to ask me where I went wrong after that, and then end with saying I've grasped the basics of dating?"

"Did you also see that short video?" Ji Xiuwen looked surprised.

"What do you think?" Lu Xuan felt speechless.

"But if you've seen it, shouldn't you know how to get along with Su Kenan?" Ji Xiuwen frowned.

"When did I say I was dating Su Kenan?"

"If you're not dating her, then what are you doing tomorrow?"

"I..."

"Forget it, I'm afraid saying it out loud might hurt you."
