Chapter 107: Chapter 109: Really Better?

"Xiao Yi..."

Wang Qingqing didn’t understand why Xiao Yi had just asked that question, but seeing that Doctor Wang had already begun to lose his patience, glaring at her and her aunt, she quickly tugged at Xiao Yi.

"Don’t worry."

Xiao Yi gently patted Wang Qingqing’s shoulder, giving her a reassuring look, then glanced at the badge on Doctor Wang’s chest, a faint sneer appearing on his lips, "You are quite impressive, truly skilled in medicine and highly ethical—a specialist from People’s Hospital indeed stands out."

"What do you mean? Of course, Expert Wang’s medical skills are outstanding. Do you even need to say that?"

The nurse, not detecting the sarcasm in Xiao Yi’s tone, thought he was genuinely impressed and mockingly said at the side, with a sneer in her eyes, "Kid, you’re bootlicking too late now. Oh no, just prepare your wallet!"

She had been with Doctor Wang for quite some time and knew about his actions. Even if you were respectful to him, he would still fleece you somewhat. Now that you’ve offended him this badly, confronting him head-on, he’ll surely fleece you till you bleed dry. Seeing their attire, they probably couldn’t afford it.

"Heh."

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, no longer paying attention to the two, turned around, walked up to Li Xiaomei, and facing her blaming gaze toward him and Wang Qingqing, he wasn’t bothered and smiled, "Auntie, I am Xiao Yi, Wang Qingqing’s classmate and friend. Don’t worry, your condition isn’t serious, I’ll cure it soon, but for now, you’ll have to endure a bit longer."

He wasn’t merely consoling her; he had diagnosed her condition at first glance. It was precisely because her condition wasn’t severe that he wasn’t in a hurry, otherwise, he would have acted immediately.

You think you can cure me?

Sure, boast all you want.

The nurse and Director Wang, upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, smirked coldly.

Although acute appendicitis isn’t a major disease and is relatively common, it isn’t like a cold or flu that you can just cure with XiaoChaiHu Granules Herbal Supplement. It might still require surgical intervention. From what they’ve seen so far, it wasn’t severe enough to need surgery yet, but they certainly didn’t believe this young kid could cure it.

If any random student from a Medical College could treat diseases, then the profession of a doctor would indeed be too simple.

"Xiao Yi, are you serious? Do you really know how to treat illnesses? That’s great!"

Wang Qingqing also widened her eyes, incredulously looking at Xiao Yi before her face lit up with joy.

However, her joy didn’t last long as a puzzled look appeared on her face, "But I remember you said last time that you’re from the School of Mathematics, not the Medical College?"

"Yes, I am indeed not from the Medical College. I learned medicine following my grandfather."

Xiao Yi smiled, surprised that Wang Qingqing still remembered things from their last encounter; he didn’t even remember telling her he was a mathematics major.

Learned from your grandfather?

And you dared to flaunt that here at the Provincial People’s Hospital?

When Doctor Wang and the nurse heard Xiao Yi’s response, they almost burst out laughing. They had initially thought Xiao Yi was a student from some nearby prominent Medical College by his assertive demeanor. To think, they had overestimated him; he wasn’t even a Medical College student.

Regarding what Xiao Yi said about learning from his grandfather, they couldn’t help but conjure an image in their minds: a bedraggled, barefoot doctor with graying hair, teaching Xiao Yi what a cold is and what XiaoChaiHu Granules Herbal Supplement is.

Director Wang had completely let his guard down, thinking, what kind of knowledge could a country barefoot doctor have? He probably wouldn’t even know what Amway or Tomson Bjken are, right? How could he possibly recognize the few imported medicines he’d prescribed? He probably hadn’t even heard of the drug names.

"Oh!"

When Wang Qingqing heard Xiao Yi’s answer, her face also showed a moment of astonishment and hesitation. She glanced at her aunt, who was already shaking her head vigorously, clearly disbelieving in Xiao Yi’s medical skills, and bit her lip with some guilt, "Xiao Yi, that..."

As she spoke, she dared not look at Xiao Yi, after all, he trusted her so much and was trying so hard to help her, but she didn’t trust him.

If it were just me, I would definitely believe him, but Aunt doesn’t believe him, and I can’t do anything about it.

Wang Qingqing comforted herself this way in her heart.

But just as she was about to finish her sentence, she suddenly heard her aunt let out a terrified "Oh".

She couldn’t continue speaking, and quickly raised her head to look at her aunt, and upon doing so, was utterly stunned.

There was a look of terror in her aunt’s eyes, and Xiao Yi was holding a shimmering silver needle, piercing her abdomen.

"Xiao Yi, what are you doing?"

It took Wang Qingqing a while to recover her senses, and she exclaimed loudly at Xiao Yi, her tone also carrying a bit of reproach. How could he be so reckless? It didn’t matter if it were her, but what if something went wrong with her aunt?

"It’s alright, it won’t hurt much anymore."

Xiao Yi heard Wang Qingqing’s somewhat blaming tone, and saw her somewhat reproachful look, but didn’t blame her. He understood her concerns, but didn’t respond to her directly. Instead, he gently withdrew his needle and smiled at Li Xiaomei, who was sitting in the chair.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Li Xiaomei woke up as if from a dream with a cry of surprise. She seemed to be reacting to Xiao Yi’s words, as well as to the needle just now, wondering if it had harmed her, especially as she had seen such a long needle inserted entirely into her abdomen.

"Am I... really better?"

However, after checking herself, her face suddenly showed an expression of disbelief, looking at Xiao Yi as if she had seen a ghost. She leapt up from the lounge chair and shouted.

Her action stunned everyone present.

Everyone looked at Li Xiaomei with disbelief.

Director Wang and the nurse both knew what acute appendicitis was, how could just one needle cure it?

But to say it was a trick, how could this woman appear as if nothing was wrong and stand up like that?

Wang Qingqing was also stunned. Had Xiao Yi really cured her aunt? And so simply? Just one needle did the job?
