“Moreover, he also serves as a director of the Yong City Chinese Medical Association. There shouldn’t be many in the entire Yong City traditional Chinese medicine circle, right?”

“Actually, I don’t know much about this matter either. He told me before that he went to the Health Center, and I felt sorry for him for quite a few days, thinking it was not worth it.

I was caught up in the county hospital’s herbal pharmacy myself. My mom told me that a very skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor had come to the Qiu City Street Health Center, saving many people, even those sent home to await death by the City First Hospital… Anyway, a lot. So, I took my mom’s word and went to the Qiu City Health Center, and I never expected the head of the clinic to be Lu Xuan. I was shocked for quite a while.

Later, as his assistant, watching him treat patients, I increasingly suspected that guy had deceived all of us during university; he didn’t seem like someone who just graduated at all. I’d believe it if you said he’d been immersed in the field of traditional Chinese medicine for fifty or sixty years.

The most crucial thing is his understanding of medical texts and his research on traditional Chinese medicine concepts, which are truly more impressive than any other TCM doctor I’ve encountered.”

“How did he suddenly become so skilled? It’s only been a little over half a year since we last saw him, right?”

“How would I know? If I knew, wouldn’t I be as skilled?”

Ji Xiuwen did know some things. Lu Xuan had a photographic memory, but this was not something he could say or reveal, at least not without Lu Xuan’s consent.

“Actually, I think there’s no need for everyone to find it so unbelievable. If Lu Xuan is really that amazing, it’s a good thing for us.”

“You make it sound easy. It’s not something you can just brush off. You saw it with your own eyes, and you were probably more shocked than any of us, right?” Mi Nannan replied sarcastically.

She was confused now. If Lu Xuan was just somewhat outstanding, she wouldn’t care much.

But being too exceptional made her hesitate.

Ji Xiuwen noticed that Mi Nannan seemed to have some interest in Lu Xuan. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly, “Actually, it’s not really a big deal, but there is one thing that truly shocked me.”

Mi Nannan instinctively raised her head: “What thing?”

“Nothing, just some personal matters.”

Thinking it over, Ji Xiuwen decided not to mention the matter regarding Su Kenan. It’s undeniable that Mi Nannan had a liking for Lu Xuan, but going head-to-head with Su Kenan could prove to be quite difficult for her.

Even though Su Kenan seemed a bit timid, her looks, talents, and family background were not something Mi Nannan could compare to.

Moreover, the key was Su Kenan’s personality, which easily triggered protective instincts in guys.

In the end, Ji Xiuwen summed it up in one sentence.

Beauty equals justice.

As for Lu Xuan, he didn’t think he could escape from Su Kenan’s grasp.

However, Ji Xiuwen underestimated women’s sixth sense.

Mi Nannan seemed to have thought of something and squinted her eyes, saying, “I just heard you mention an intern, might it be Su…”

“Su Kenan.” Cai Huanjin chimed in from the side.

“Su Kenan?”

Zhao Xiaohui’s eyes lit up: “Could it be the renowned ‘most beautiful white moonlight’ of Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Su Kenan? Is she interning under Lu Xuan? What’s going on here?”

Seeing everyone had guessed it, Ji Xiuwen had no choice but to speak truthfully: “Su Kenan is Dr. Cheng from the Health Center’s niece. Didn’t our university have a summer internship requirement? So, Su Kenan came to intern at the Health Center, that’s all.”

Mentioning Su Kenan, Mi Nannan became dazed and instinctively asked: “Ji Xiuwen, the even more unbelievable thing you mentioned, is it related to Su Kenan?”

Ji Xiuwen’s eyes widened instantly.

Damn!

How did you guess that?

Are you crazy?

Is a woman’s sixth sense really this terrifying?

Ji Xiuwen suddenly felt a bit scared.

It’s terrifying as hell.

Ji Xiuwen remained silent, but Mi Nannan’s expression changed, and any remaining hope she had instantly turned into a bubble.

She had seen Su Kenan.

Whether in photos or in person.

Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine isn’t that big, and Su Kenan isn’t just an ordinary passerby role. Particularly for beautiful girls, there’s always an instinctive urge to compare oneself to others.

In this world, pretty girls are divided into two types.

One is the kind that boys find pretty, and the other is the kind that even girls would be instantly mesmerized by.

Su Kenan, without a doubt, is the latter.

Mi Nannan still remembers the scene when she first saw Su Kenan and felt ashamed, thinking that not many girls would dare to confidently claim they were prettier than her.

After knowing her competitor was Zhijiang’s top white moonlight, Su Kenan, Mi Nannan fell into silence for a while.

Compete?

She had no confidence whatsoever.

It’s better to give up before the competition even starts, to save some face and leave some room for herself.

With that thought, Mi Nannan didn’t say anything more.

Meanwhile, in the restroom, Gu Huahua noticed the group chat suddenly went quiet and checked the time, “I have to head back to the clinic now. I’ll come over tonight.”

Cai Huanjin: “Bring Lu Xuan along.”

Gu Huahua: “Not sure if he’s available or not.”

“Didn’t you just say there was no one scheduled for him today?”

“That’s true, but he’s now in the same circle as those big names like Elder Zhang. After work, he might go meet with those top-tier figures, so he may not have time to join us!”

…

It was at this moment Cai Huanjin realized, with a sigh.

While they were still attending class reunions, someone incredible had already integrated into a circle they could only dream of being a part of their whole lives.

Cai Huanjin always assumed that even if Lu Xuan had better grades in school, outside of school he wouldn’t develop as well as he had.

He was capable, had the right connections, and wasn’t lacking in academics either. Such conditions weren’t common in the class.

At least among the classmates who came to develop in Yong City, he was considered unique.

But today, Cai Huanjin realizes some people’s excellence is beyond imagination, not bound by worldly constraints.

Faced with Gu Huahua’s rationale, Cai Huanjin could only reluctantly agree, “Alright then, but just mention it, if he’s unavailable, then we can’t do anything about it.”

Gu Huahua: “Okay, I’ll ask him, but I’ll definitely be there.”

“Alright!”

The conversation ended.

Gu Huahua also put away his phone, hurriedly left the restroom, and headed straight for Room 215 clinic.

Feeling relaxed after sending out the messages,

Yet, just before entering Room 215, he instinctively glanced at Room 249, then gently clenched his fists.

Strive!

Strive hard!

Even if I can’t catch up completely, I can’t lose sight entirely.

Gu Huahua made a solemn pledge in his heart.

If Ji Xiuwen knew, he’d surely pat Gu Huahua’s shoulder, telling him not to feel too pressured, as some people are destined for admiration, not pursuit.

Chase?

Without a photographic memory, what are you going to chase with?

Anyway, Ji Xiuwen has now given up on that notion, knowing it would only cause more hassle for himself.

At the tea table.

Because of the revelations about Lu Xuan, everyone’s enthusiasm seemed to have dwindled.

Cai Huanjin also spoke less frequently.

Before, he could still feel a sense of superiority for going to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, but now, with Lu Xuan overshadowing an entire generation, he was left with only a sense of inferiority.

The others were all lost in their own thoughts.

Mi Nannan was the most complex at the moment.

Among them, the only one seemingly without pressure was Ji Xiuwen.

He was focused more on figuring out how to join the United South Chinese Medicine Association with his foster father.

In fact, just as everyone else sipped quietly on their tea, Ji Xiuwen had already eagerly taken out his phone and sent a message to Lu Xuan.

“Foster father…”

“I’ve handled the arrangements for entering the United South Chinese Medicine Association. I’ll send you a contact on WeChat later, add them, submit your profile, and join me next Saturday.”

“Foster father, you’re brilliant!”

Ji Xiuwen followed up with an endless string of compliments, patting his foster father on the back lavishly.
