Chapter 40: Young Master Rong Came

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Gu Qingchen had already thought of her own talent. These days, she had learned a lot of medical knowledge from Doctor Hua, read a lot of ancient medical books, and even started to check the pulse of some people.

With Doctor Hua’s guidance, Gu Qingchen’s medical skills had really improved by leaps and bounds. Even Doctor Hua could not compare to her. He looked at Gu Qingchen with love and hatred in his eyes.

He loved Gu Qingchen’s talent, but he hated himself for not meeting Gu Qingchen earlier.

When Gu Qingchen finished taking the pulse of a patient, gave a prescription, and was highly praised by Doctor Hua, the door of the Hundred Herb Hall opened.

The gurgling sound was the sound of a wheelchair being pushed on the ground.

Gu Qingchen did not expect that Rong Yu, whom she had not seen for some time, would actually appear here.

Seeing Rong Yu come in, Doctor Hua’s eyes flashed, and he stroked his beard. “Brat Rong, I remember that you don’t like to come to my place the most. The last time you came here, it was Elder Yuan who forced you to come, right? Today, you actually took the initiative to come here. It’s really odd.”

The last time Doctor Hua mentioned was when Gu Qingchen saw Rong Yu’s side profile at the entrance of the Hundred Herb Hall.

Rong Yu smiled calmly. The clear and distant look in his eyes was full of warmth.

Fortunately, the patients had left at this time, and there was no one in the Hundred Herb Hall. Otherwise, it would have caused quite a stir.

With this kind of charming look and expressive eyes, it would definitely kill everyone.

Fortunately, Doctor Hua was an old man and had seen Rong Yu many times. Gu Qingchen had also seen Rong Yu’s handsome and charming face before, so she was mentally prepared. These two people acted very normally.

“Hehe, Doctor Hua, you must be joking.”

This sentence was neither salty nor indifferent. Regardless of whether it was his tone or his demeanor, it was as if he did not hear the complaints and ridicule in Doctor Hua’s tone.

Doctor Hua felt that his fist had hit cotton. It was soft and uncomfortable.

“Hmph, your mouth is still so smooth. It seems that you have been in good health recently.”

Doctor Hua mumbled, but he still took the initiative to walk over and reached out his hand to take Rong Yu’s pulse.

Unexpectedly, Rong Yu retracted his hand very naturally. The corners of his slightly pale lips curled up. “Doctor Hua seems to have forgotten that there is someone else who is my personal physician now.”

When Doctor Hua heard this, his beard trembled again and again. In the end, he simply withdrew his hand and placed it behind his back. He was afraid that he would beat up this kid out of anger.

“That girl hasn’t finished her apprenticeship.”

Since she hadn’t finished her apprenticeship, she naturally couldn’t treat others as she pleased. Rong Yu was different from those patients who came here to seek treatment. A cold and a fever could be cured, but Rong Yu’s congenital illness wasn’t easy to cure.

Although Gu Qingchen’s comprehension ability was very strong, it was impossible for her to reach the level of a master within ten days.

It was for her own good that Gu Qingchen wasn’t allowed to finish her apprenticeship so easily.

Rong Yu’s beautiful face seemed to be a little surprised. The surprise was just right. No one could guess whether he was truly surprised or pretending to be surprised.

“Not finished? I thought Ms. Gu would finish her apprenticeship very soon with the guidance of a national medical saint like Doctor Hua.”

When Doctor Hua Heard Rong Yu’s words, his beard shook even more violently.

Rong Yu was too vengeful.

No, it could not be considered vengeful. It was because his memory was too good.

When Elder Yuan found Doctor Hua back then, Doctor Hua was too young. Naturally, he would be a little arrogant and boast that there was no illness that he could not treat.

Then, he was invited by Elder Yuan to treat Rong Yu, who was less than five years old. He still remembered the first time he saw Rong Yu. The moment he saw that little boy who was so thin that he didn’t look like a human was clenching his teeth and enduring the pain, he was shocked.

A five-year-old child had such endurance. It was definitely something that most adults could not do.

At that time, when the young Rong Yu saw him, he endured the pain and asked, “Can you cure me?”

Doctor Hua’s answer back then was, “Yes.”

In the end… he treated Rong Yu for fifteen years. Although Rong Yu survived, he did not fulfill the bold words he said back then, which was to cure him completely.

For Rong Yu, living was also a form of suffering. Living was even more painful than dying.

Doctor Hua finally encountered a setback in treating Rong Yu. The relationship between him and Rong Yu was very delicate.

For the five-year-old Rong Yu, Doctor Hua’s “Yes” back then gave him his last hope. However, this hope was gradually extinguished by the cruel reality and the repeated illness, little by little.

Towards Rong Yu, Doctor Hua always felt ashamed because he knew that giving a five-year-old child hope but failing to fulfill his promise was worse than not making any promises at all.

Although Rong Yu had never complained about Doctor Hua, as time went on, his hidden thoughts and the faint smile on his face always made Doctor Hua’s heart ache even more.

Gu Qingchen was different from Doctor Hua, so she didn’t know about the relationship between Doctor Hua and Rong Yu.

“Young Master Rong, as far as I know, psychology is your specialty. You can guess what a person is thinking through microexpressions, right?”

Gu Qingchen suddenly spoke. Doctor Hua looked at Gu Qingchen, not understanding what his disciple was going to say.

Rong Yu looked at Gu Qingchen with a smile. His black eyes were like ink as if he knew what Gu Qingchen was going to say, but he still answered, “Yes.”

Gu Qingchen nodded and continued, “If you teach Butler Qin the psychology of microexpressions, can he become a master of psychology in more than ten days?”

Gu Qingchen looked at Butler Qin apologetically, but Butler Qin didn’t care.

Rong Yu’s smile gradually deepened, and his eyes were as hot as fire. His jade-like face turned bright as if a hunter had met his prey.

“I can’t. But…” After a pause, he stared at Gu Qingchen with a burning gaze and said in a stuttering voice, “If I teach you, it might be possible.”

Pfft!

This guy was very straightforward. He was saying that Butler Qin was not as good as Gu Qingchen. Fortunately, Butler Qin was expressionless and did not show any displeasure.

Gu Qingchen smiled faintly and suppressed the panic in her heart. “Young Master Rong is overpraising me. Since Young Master Rong can’t even do it, why make things difficult for others? If Young Master Rong is not at ease with me, you can always change people.”

Rong Yu was really amazing. Sometimes, he could see through people with just a glance. Her secret was too big. Hearing Rong Yu’s meaningful tone, she always worried that her secret would be known by others.

Rong Yu just smiled.

After a round of verbal war, although Young Master Rong did not refute, it was a draw in the end.

Doctor Hua’s eyes lit up when he saw this. He was so excited that he gave Gu Qingchen a thumbs up in his heart.

He was right. This little girl looked honest, but she was very strong. She was also a smart little fox. She did not lose to Rong Yu, that wily old fox.

Cough, cough. Unknowingly, Doctor Hua labeled Rong Yu as a “Wily old fox.”

“Since Ms. Gu is still unable to complete her apprenticeship, then accompany me for a walk. Understanding your own patients is also something a doctor should do.”

Butler Qin was a little disapproving. He wanted to say something, but Rong Yu only gave him a faint glance, and Butler Qin remained in the Hundred Herb Hall.
