The Medical Guru

…

When the concert was over, Fang Qiu joined the crowd and left the stadium.

No one recognized him, for there were so many people and Fang Qiu had put on a hat.

When Liu Feifei walked out of the stadium, she greeted Fang Qiu and left with two friends.

…

On their way back to the dormitory, Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu didn’t say anything while walking behind the crowd as if they were strolling along.

…

Sun Hao and others who walked ahead of them saw this situation, they couldn’t help but smirk wickedly.

“Fang Qiu, we’ll leave you alone. Take your time. I will leave the dormitory door for you. There is no rush.”

…

Then they quickly ran away, leaving Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu there. The atmosphere was quite awkward.

“Well, that…”

Fang Qiu tried to say something to ease the mood, only to find that he couldn’t come up with anything.

“How did you get your Physician’s Qualification Certificate?”

Jiang Miaoyu followed his words immediately.

“Oh, well… this.”

When they got something to talk about, Fang Qiu was much more relaxed. He replied. “I’ve gone to learn with Mr. Xu for a month and a half before. There was an examination of The Physician’s Qualification Certificate in Zhongzhou Province when we came back, so I took the examination.”

…

“Really?” Jiang Miaoyu was surprised. “Awesome. It only took you one month to get the certificate?”

…

Fang Qiu said with a smile, “Well, I got talent.”

Jiang Miaoyu asked, “I remember that there are some conditions if one wants to take the examination. You don’t meet the conditions. Why would they let you do it?”

…

The two talked their way back to school.

They didn’t directly part and return to their dormitory when they arrived at school, for there was so much to talk about. Therefore, they continued to walk around the campus. They didn’t come back to their dorms until the lights were about to go out.

…

On Monday morning, everyone went to the teaching building for classes, but Fang Qiu came to the library alone.

He had asked for leave to Liu Feifei in advance, but he didn’t ask for leaving school. Instead, he asked for leaving classes to read books. After all, he had learned all the things taught in the classes. It was only a waste of time if he still went to classes.

…

When Fang Qiu arrived at the library, he didn’t go to Xu Miaolin.

Xu Miaolin had already called him before. He said that he had already helped him manage all the things. Three days later, on New Year’s Day, Fang Qiu would be able to take part in the medical examination.

That’s why Fang Qiu would ask for leave. He didn’t have much time left.

…

…

Entering the library, Fang Qiu immediately ran to the shelf where medical records were kept. He selected several famous medical records in a row and then returned to the desk to read them eagerly.

Although he looked eager, he wasn’t a wonk.

…

Every time he finished reading a typical medical case, he would look away from the book, thinking and processing all the details of the case.

…

Fang Qiu had learned quite a lot from three medical cases in a row.

But just as Fang Qiu was about to read the fourth case, something at a distance suddenly attracted his attention.

…

…

About three meters away, Fang Qiu saw a student sitting facing Fang Qiu’s direction. He was frowning. After reading for a while, he would show an uncomfortable look on his face. Then he would lie down on the desk and rest for a while. After having a rest, he raised and read his book again.

…

“Is he sick?” Fang Qiu muttered to himself, and then immediately got up and walked toward the student.

…

Fang Qiu said in a low voice, “Hey, If you don’t feel well, you should go back to have some rest. You don’t have to do this.”

…

…

The student was surprised and raised his head. “What?” When he recognized the person talking to him, he exclaimed. “Fang Qiu?”

Fang Qiu was stunned. “You know who I am?”

…

“Of course, you are so famous, everyone in our college knows you.”

The student replied. “I’m all right. I have to prepare for the exam.”

Fang Qiu said at once, “You are sick, and you must be treated as soon as possible.”

…

…

The student shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. I’m all right.”

…

Hearing that, Fang Qiu frowned.

He remembered what Xu Miaolin had taught him before. Doctors didn’t knock on patients’ doors.

But this student seemed to have caught a serious cold. If he wasn’t treated on time, he might not be able to attend the exam, not to mention just review the books.

“You are weak and have been studying for exams recently, which has led to tiredness and poor sleep. Now you can clearly see that you are tired and exhausted. You’ll shiver every time the wind blows, which is a typical symptom of catching a bad cold.”

At this point, Fang Qiu turned to look at the students and continued, “You’re afraid of coldness and keep stroking your neck with your hand. You must have a sore throat and find it hard to swallow, right?”

…

Hearing that, the student froze.

He looked at Fang Qiu in shock. “You know how to diagnose?”

…

Fang Qiu nodded. “Yes.”

“But… But it’s only been six months since we started having medical classes.”

The student looked at Fang Qiu with surprise and said, “We both entered this school at the same time. I’m not able to read the pulse yet. And you can diagnose a patient already?”

Fang Qiu asked, “Do you want me to treat you?”

…

…

“Sure.” The student nodded at once. “Let me see the difference between the No.1 in UJCM and me.”

Fang Qiu was confused. “What No.1?”

…

…

The student asked, “You don’t know?”

…

Fang Qiu nodded.

…

“It’s you.” The classmate chuckled. “You are the No.1. among the students of our school. You are an example to all our classmates.”

…

Fang Qiu shook his head and smiled, then sat down and began to take his pulse.

The student was also very cooperative.

…

Fang Qiu said as he was checking his pulse. “Your pulse is light and slightly tense.”

There were still many students reading in the library because the exam was coming. Although it was class time, many students didn’t have any class. In the morning, there were not many students in the library as usual.

When Fang Qiu was feeling the pulse, all the students there noticed what he was doing.

All of a sudden, those students were shocked.

“Da*n, is Fang Qiu treating a patient? He was feeling his pulse in the library. Well, he did look like a doctor.”

…

…

“No way, the freshman semester is not over yet, Fang Qiu already can treat a patient? Didn’t he just know how to feel a pulse a month ago?”

…

“That’s pretty awesome. What a talent!”

…

The students in the library began to whisper among themselves.

Some of the students took out their phones to take photos and sent it to the campus BBS as soon as possible.

…

Fang Qiu had finished reading symptoms.

“Considering that your pulse is light and the bad cold, I’ll write you a prescription.”

…

…

Speaking of this, Fang Qiu started to write a prescription.

“Ephedra 15g, prepared aconite root 20g, asarum 10g, ginger 30g, baked licorice 30g, raw pinellia 30g, dried ginger 15g, angelica 15g, atractylodes 15g, cassia twig 15g and apricot 15g.”

…

After writing the prescription, Fang Qiu said, “You can use 200 ml water to boil all these medicines. After drinking, you’d better put some clothes on and stay in bed to make yourself sweat. Drink some hot water and porridge to help you sweat if necessary. Remember to close the doors and windows.”

…

“Oh, thank you.” The student took the prescription from Fang Qiu and looked at him with a serious face. “I will try this medicine.”

…

“OK.” He nodded and turned back to his desk, where he continued his reading.

…

Meanwhile, a post titled “live stream! Fang Qiu was treating a patient” caused a buzz on the campus BBS.

…

…

No one would ever expect that Fang Qiu was already able to treat a patient.

It had always been clear to everyone that Fang Qiu was a genius in Chinese Medicine. When he attended the Knowledge Competition of Freshmen and the challenge of pregnancy pulse, he showed his great talents which had completely crushed all of his peers.

…

But even so, was he able to see a patient yet? He had only learned Chinese Medicine in school for six months.

…

…

Even the sophomore or junior students weren’t able to see a patient, not to mention a student with a half year’s studying.

…

After a while, all the students on the BBS were discussing with each other.

Sophomores and juniors were even more embarrassed.

They never thought that a freshman who was two years younger than them could be so proficient in practicing medicine. What a blow.

Comments had even exploded on the online campus forum.

“Is Fang Qiu just showing off? He has only been in school for half a year, and he dares to see a patient now?”

“I don’t remember him having a Physician’s Qualification Certificate. Isn’t it against the law for him to treat a patient without the certificate?”

“Yeah, how could he dare to see a patient without that certificate? What if he was wrong?”

“I’ve heard someone mention this before. I think he’s got the certificate.”

“How is that possible?”

“Seriously? How could he possibly get the certificate?”

With so many people judging, another new post came up on the campus forum. There was only a video in it.

The title of the post was straightforward. “Fang Qiu’s Physician’s Qualification Certificate!”

…

…

A lot of people immediately rushed to that post and clicked on the video.

It turned out to be a clip about Fang Qiu appearing at Song Yaqi’s concert.

“Yes, I am a Chinese Medicine doctor with the Physician’s Qualification Certificate.”

When Fang Qiu said that out loud in the video, all the people who were watching the video were shocked.

“How is that possible?”

“Fang Qiu has already got a certificate?”

“How could anyone get that so fast?”

“Is it possible that Fang Qiu began studying medicine long ago? Otherwise, he couldn’t attend the examination so early.”

“What? Do you mean that when we’re still in school, and he has already become a real doctor?”

“Da*n. It feels like we’re all in a 1,000-meter race, and everyone is waiting in the starting line while Fang Qiu is 800 meters ahead of us.”

“I don’t know how Fang Qiu got his certificate, but since he said it in front of so many people, he must really have it.”

“I’m curious to see whether the student treated by Fang Qiu can get better after he follows his prescription and takes the medicine.”

As soon as someone brought this up, everyone couldn’t help being curious.
