Chapter 101: It’s Boring if You Repeat the Same Pattern
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were many people in the modern world, and the distance between people was usually very close. Manor-style residences like the Grand Chancellor’s and Liang’s Residences were small communities in the modern world, with hundreds or thousands of people living there.
However, the hearts of people were far apart, and the feelings between people were also faint.
Especially after the popularity of smart phones, when a family sat together with a phone in each hand and their heads lowered, they might not even notice that the person closest to them had changed their hairstyle that day!
That kind of life was mostly empty. Liu Shimei preferred the current one. Technology was not developed, but it was very human. She felt like people truly connected with each other.
Compared to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, which valued benefits more, the Liang Residence was much better.
Thinking of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, Liu Shimei did not want to go back even more. However, she also knew that it was impossible to escape.
She had to go back sooner or later!
However, she could also delay it!
Zheng Medical Hall.
Around noon, the old man from yesterday came again.
“Miss, look at the medicine you gave me. It’s not bleeding anymore, but my face seems to be swollen. Look, look!”
Today, he was not as easy to talk to as he was yesterday.
Liu Shimei did not have any reaction. She put on a pair of gloves and checked his pulse. Then, she checked the red and swollen areas.
After taking the medicine, the wound on the sore had obviously shrunk. This effect could be said to be immediate. However, the areas that did not have any blisters were red and swollen. It did look like he was allergic to the medicine.
Hearing that the old man had come again, Xu Xian followed him over. Seeing this, he looked worried and asked, “Miss Zhi Liu, what’s going on?”
“If the sore has converged, it means that the medication is correct,” Liu Shimei replied indifferently. She loosened her hand and took off her gloves. She looked at the old man with a deep gaze, and her tone became more thought-provoking. “But old man, it’s fine if you test it out a little, but if you play the same trick over and over again, it’ll be boring!”
“What do you mean?” Xu Xian was stunned.
The old man was also slightly stunned. He immediately widened his eyes. “Who would play with their own body? You’ve seen my appearance too. My entire body is like this. I’m disfigured!”
Liu Shimei sighed and said, “Even if you’re disfigured, you still have a way to heal yourself and make your face look brand new. Don’t test me again and again because I’m young!”
Xu Xian also heard something. “Are you saying that this old man deliberately made himself look like this?”
Liu Shimei raised his eyebrows. “If I’m not mistaken, you’re a doctor yourself, the kind with the title of a divine doctor. I don’t know if you came to the Zheng Medical Hall like this to cause trouble or for something else. As long as you’re here to see a doctor, I’ll treat you with all my heart. But if you’re here to make fun of me, then I’m sorry.”
Even so, she still took the prescription and prescribed the medicine. The names of the medicine jumped on the paper under her beautiful fingers.
Xu Xian was still in a daze. The old man’s eyes lit up, but his face was still tense. “Miss, you’re not being kind by saying that! I’m already like this, and you actually suspect that I’m pretending to be sick?”
Liu Shimei could not be bothered to talk to him anymore.
Yesterday, this old man said that he was so poor that he could not afford to see a doctor. She thought that this person was probably playful and liked to tease others.
After that, he left the silver and confirmed her guess.
According to the medicine she gave him, as long as he did not mess around blindly, it was impossible for such redness to appear. Recently, he had come up with new symptoms. It was difficult for Liu Shimei to not say anything!
She had wanted to keep her cool and not say so much, but if he changed his way of playing with her tomorrow, would she still have to do something else?
If she had the time to play with him, she might as well follow Du Gong and see a few more patients!
“Hey!” Seeing that she was unmoved, the old man raised his eyebrows and said, “You’re interesting!”
