"My dad asked you to come to our house for lunch, and he also wants you to test me."
Kang Nuolan's pretty face was expressionless, maintaining her usual aloof demeanor, making her appear both cold and cool.
"What does your dad want me for?"
Wan Yunting finished grinding the ink and picked up his brush to write a prescription for Ruan Xingwen's daughter, asking.
"I don't know," Kang Nuolan replied curtly.
Gu Luotang, sitting beside them, was lost in thought. Knowing that Kang Nuolan was the daughter of the richest man, Kang Hongwen, she hadn't expected her to be so close to Wan Yunting…
"You can go back first. I still need to see patients here, and I'll probably be over there around one o'clock," Wan Yunting said without looking up.
"I'll wait for you," Kang Nuolan said, still in her usual cool tone.
"No need, you go back first."
Wan Yunting didn't want her to wait around bored. Seeing this, Kang Nuolan didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Gu Luotang looked at Kang Nuolan as she went out. Turning back to Wan Yunting, who was writing the prescription, she said, "Brother Yunting, your student is quite special."
"Cool, right?" Wan Yunting looked up at her and said with a smile.
Gu Luotang nodded, then fell into thought.
After finishing the prescription, Wan Yunting went in to check on Song Moyi. Seeing that she was fine, he gave the prescription to Ruan Xingwen and carefully instructed her on how to decoct the medicine, when to take it, and so on…
After more than forty minutes, Wan Yunting removed the silver needles from Song Moyi's chest. "Alright, that's all for the acupuncture treatment today. Ms. Ruan, from now on, you need to bring her here for acupuncture once every Wednesday for three months. If her condition improves, we can reduce the frequency of acupuncture then!"
"Okay."
Ruan Xingwen nodded. Then Wan Yunting added, "Also, starting today, you should stop giving her any other heart medication. Just have her drink this medicine."
"But what if my daughter has another sudden relapse?"
Ruan Xingwen asked worriedly. Wan Yunting smiled, "Don't worry, as long as you bring her for acupuncture once a week and she takes the medicine daily, I guarantee she absolutely won't have a relapse for no reason!"
"Of course, you also need to take good care of her in daily life and absolutely forbid her from doing things she shouldn't. Let me treat her for three months first, and then we can adjust slowly based on her recovery."
"In short, her illness is a chronic one, and you can't rush it."
"Mm, I understand." Ruan Xingwen sighed.
Wan Yunting smiled, "Don't worry, I will cure your daughter's illness."
This sounded like the catchphrase of most doctors, but for some reason, Ruan Xingwen felt an inexplicable sense of unconditional trust in Wan Yunting's words. She nodded involuntarily and said, "Thank you, Teacher Wan."
"It's getting late, you can take your child home now."
"Okay."
Ruan Xingwen didn't say any more. Carrying a week's worth of medicine in one hand and holding Song Moyi's hand, she went downstairs and out.
Seeing that it was noon, Wan Yunting also took off his white coat and smiled at Gu Luotang, "Let me treat you to lunch, and then I'll take you back."
"Okay."
Gu Luotang didn't refuse and went downstairs and out with Wan Yunting. They went to a small restaurant nearby where he often ate with Su Ke'er. The proprietress recognized him. Seeing Wan Yunting come in with a beautiful, unfamiliar woman, she deliberately asked, "Dr. Wan, why haven't I seen you bring your girlfriend for a meal recently?"
"Oh, she went back to her hometown and will be back in a few days."
Wan Yunting, unaware of the proprietress's intentions, smiled and said, "Give me the usual. Luotang, feel free to order whatever you want."
"Okay."
Gu Luotang nodded. It seemed Wan Yunting often brought his girlfriend here for meals…
"Isn't that Ke'er's boyfriend?"
"Yeah, why is he with another woman?"
"Could it be that he's hiding Ke'er and seeing someone else?"
At another table, several nurses and doctors from the emergency department were having lunch. They saw Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang sitting together, laughing and talking, and their relationship seemed unusual.
"This Wan Yunting, he's such a scumbag. No, I have to go back and tell Director Jiang."
Those nurses from the emergency department were angry. They glared fiercely at Wan Yunting, who also felt their disgusted and angry gazes, which left him feeling somewhat confused.
A moment later, the ordered dishes started to arrive one by one. Wan Yunting ate and smiled, "The food is pretty good, isn't it?"
"Mm, this tofu is quite delicious."
Gu Luotang ate a relatively light diet, fitting her fairy-like temperament of being detached from worldly affairs.
"Brother Yunting, can you help me open my Ren and Du meridians?"
Suddenly, Gu Luotang looked up at him. When she had previously heard Wan Yunting mention opening Kang Nuolan's Ren and Du meridians, she had gotten this idea.
Wan Yunting looked at her and smiled, "Luotang, but your physical condition isn't good. If I help you open your Ren and Du meridians with acupuncture, it might be dangerous."
Hearing him say this, Gu Luotang bit her chopsticks and frowned. Then she asked, "Can I exercise and strengthen my body?"
"That's possible."
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "As long as your body gets better, the risk of opening your Ren and Du meridians will be smaller."
"I understand," Gu Luotang nodded, her almond-shaped eyes showing determination. "I will definitely strengthen my exercise, and I ask for your help then."
"No problem."
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile, pointed at the dishes, "Let's eat. I'll take you back after we finish."
"Okay."
Seeing that the man had agreed, Gu Luotang became happy, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her pretty face as she ate. She had to admit, she looked quite cute…
After they finished eating, Wan Yunting drove her back to Xingyao Elementary School because Gu Luotang had a traditional Chinese medicine class in the afternoon.
After dropping her off, Wan Yunting still had to go to Kang Hongwen's house to see what he wanted.
"Wait, Brother Yunting."
Suddenly, Gu Luotang called out to him. Wan Yunting opened the car door, "What's wrong?"
Gu Luotang, who had run over, showed an embarrassed expression. Her small hands clutched her clothes, and after struggling internally for a long time, she finally mustered the courage to say, "Are you free on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival? I'd like to invite you to attend the Cultural Association's Mid-Autumn Gala with me!"
"Cultural Association?"
Wan Yunting was a bit confused. Gu Luotang explained, "It's our writers' association here in Huadu. For example, writers, calligraphers, painters…"
"Oh, so it's an association run by you cultured people, right?"
Wan Yunting understood and smiled, "But it might not be appropriate for me to go, as I'm not a member of your cultural association."
"It won't be."
Gu Luotang said, "Your Slim Gold Script is written so well. If you want to join the association, I can recommend you."
"Joining the association is out of the question."
Wan Yunting waved his hand and smiled, "I write calligraphy purely because my master requires it."
"Oh…"
Gu Luotang lowered her head, feeling a little disappointed…
"How about this, if I'm free on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll come over and take a look then." Because he had too much going on recently, he didn't know if he would have time then.
"Okay, if you have time to go, then give me a call." Gu Luotang immediately became happy again.
"Mm, well, that's it for now."
Wan Yunting nodded, waved goodbye to her with a smile, then got into the car and drove away. Gu Luotang watched his car disappear from sight before happily heading into the school…
