I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 410 - 170: No Western Regions Like Han, No Northern Desert Like Tang, No Yunnan-Guizhou Like Ming
People filed through the ticket machines one by one, entering the scenic area.
The entrance fee to Baoguo Temple is not expensive, with discounts, it’s less than twenty bucks. For those who love hiking but don’t want to exhaust themselves, and also want to see ancient architecture, this place is definitely a great choice.
The mountain isn’t high; you can reach the top in fifteen to twenty minutes, or even less than ten if you’re fast.
"Cheng, why didn’t Kenan come along?"
Once inside, Wang Youqing noticed that Su Kenan seemed not to have come, so he asked specially.
Cheng Gaowen explained: "Apparently, something’s going on at school. She went to report to the school yesterday afternoon. You know, it’s not even time for the semester to start; can’t they just let students rest at home? Needing to intern is one thing, but having students go to school so early is another."
"After all, she’s a graduate student. There’s not that much freedom."
Cheng Gaowen didn’t say much more. Su Kenan going to school so early might have something to do with her brother-in-law, but she couldn’t be bothered to ask. She turned to Lu Xuan and quietly asked, "Lu, did Kenan tell you that she went back to school yesterday?"
Lu Xuan was stunned, took out his phone, opened WeChat for a glance, and realized that Su Kenan had left him a message last night. However, because he was worried about Ji Huan’s safety, he hadn’t paid attention to his phone, and the next day, due to being tired from staying up late, if he wasn’t with a patient, he would almost always be napping on the desk, not having the time to check his phone.
But now that Cheng Gaowen asked, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes, she did."
"At least she didn’t disappoint me, knowing to tell you at least." Cheng Gaowen muttered softly.
"Sister Cheng, what’s up?"
"Nothing, nothing."
Cheng Gaowen shook her head, then said: "Lu, thank you so much these past half a month for teaching Kenan so many things."
"I didn’t really teach her much; she’s smart." Lu Xuan praised without any reservation.
"I’ll treat you to a meal later; don’t refuse. I’m serious. I really need to thank you for this; not everyone would be willing to teach."
Lu Xuan found it hard to refuse, so he just agreed for now.
"By the way, Lu, I’ve been taking your medicine for a while now, and I’ve been feeling pretty good lately. Since there’s time now, can you help check my pulse?"
"Sure!"
Lu Xuan smiled and then stopped to take Cheng Gaowen’s pulse.
"How is it?" Cheng Gaowen asked nervously.
After a while, Lu Xuan relaxed his eyebrows and said: "Sister Cheng, you’re recovering well!"
"Really?"
"Really, could I lie to you about this?"
At this moment, even Lu Xuan was a bit surprised. He originally thought that for Cheng Gaowen’s condition to improve significantly, it would at least take a month or two. Unexpectedly, after just over half a month’s worth of medicine, her condition was nearly much improved. At this rate, she could probably try getting pregnant soon.
"That’s great." Cheng Gaowen was full of joy.
Lu Xuan then said: "Sister Cheng, with another half a month’s worth of medication, you should get a surprise."
"What kind of surprise?"
"By then, you might try without any protection, and if no accidents happen, you should be able to get pregnant this time."
"Really?"
This time, Cheng Gaowen was truly shocked. In fact, even Zhou Liting, walking in front of them, turned around sharply upon hearing this: "Lu, are you serious? Can Sister Cheng really get pregnant?"
Lu Xuan nodded: "Judging from the pulse, it’s mostly recovered. A little more medication for reinforcement, and conceiving shouldn’t be hard."
"That’s wonderful."
Zhou Liting seemed even happier than Cheng Gaowen. She had known Cheng Gaowen for quite a while and understood her situation. Over the years, Cheng Gaowen had visited countless doctors for her illness. Despite being a doctor herself and trying a mix of Western and Chinese medicines, there had been no improvement.
For the past two years, Cheng Gaowen had almost given up.
Unexpectedly, now Lu Xuan said that Cheng Gaowen might conceive. How could she not be thrilled for her dear friend?
It was as if Cheng Gaowen heard something unbelievable. She stared at Lu Xuan in shock, and in the blink of an eye, tears were streaming down her face like beads rolling down her cheeks.
Excitement, joy, disbelief—every complex emotion manifested on her face at that moment.
Wang Youqing, who was walking ahead, saw everyone stop, asked what was going on, and was also overjoyed for Cheng Gaowen.
"We picked the right mountain to climb today!"
"Great news!"
"Cheng, when you get pregnant, you’ll have to treat us to a big meal."
"I will, I will, definitely."
Cheng Gaowen wiped her tears with excitement: "Bless Lu’s words; if I really get pregnant, I’ll treat you all to a feast at a five-star hotel."
"Then it’s settled!"
With this good news from Lu Xuan, everyone felt motivated and full of energy as they continued their hike uphill towards Baoguo Temple.
However, Lu Xuan was relatively slower. It was his first time at Baoguo Temple, and he would often stop to look at the scenery on both sides while hiking.
He let the others go ahead since Baoguo Temple was only so big. Whether fast or slow, it was just a ten or twenty-minute journey, and they could all meet up at the ancient architecture on the mountaintop.
Halfway up, Lu Xuan wandered into a courtyard and stood on a platform, embracing the mountain summer breeze and looking out at the distant scenery.
While Lu Xuan was fully relaxed, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Dr. Lu?"
Lu Xuan turned around to see Ji Yongfeng standing there with a cane, smiling brightly at him.
