After getting on the bus, Lu Xuan didn't think about the ride-hailing driver, but instead sent a message to Ji Xiuwen, asking him to bring some breakfast downstairs for him.
Ji Xiuwen readily agreed.
When Lu Xuan arrived at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, Ji Xiuwen was already there, and even the hot water was ready.
"Oh, you're here so early?"
Lu Xuan teased, "Even got the water ready?"
Ji Xiuwen rolled his eyes at him, "From now on, I've got to live under your tyranny, so of course I have to come early and be diligent. Otherwise, if you give me a hard time, how will I explain it to my old father at home?"
Lu Xuan hung his bag and patted Ji Xiuwen on the shoulder, "Not bad, very filial, I'm quite pleased."
At first, Ji Xiuwen didn't think much of it, but after a while, the more he thought about it, the more it felt off.
"Damn you, taking advantage of me." Ji Xiuwen's shout echoed in the clinic.
Lu Xuan chose to ignore Ji Xiuwen's outburst, shrugged, "It was you who volunteered yesterday, I didn't force you. There are cameras here, if you don't admit it, we can check the footage."
Then he muttered, "Just not sure if the Health Center's cameras are equipped with audio capture. If not, there's no evidence."
Ji Xiuwen rolled his eyes dramatically, "You're ruthless."
Lu Xuan chuckled and reassured him, "Don't be angry, since you're so sensible, I'll let you see a couple more patients today."
Ji Xiuwen's eyes lit up instantly, his mouth agape, tongue almost sticking out.
His mind was racing, what should he do now?
Godfather?
He already tried that yesterday.
Suck up?
Ji Xiuwen's eyes grew brighter, and he launched into full-on bootlicking mode towards Lu Xuan.
From every angle, he sucked up with heart.
Lu Xuan looked very pleased.
Amazed as he watched Ji Xiuwen, they'd been classmates for years, yet he never realized how good this guy was at sucking up.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but praise, "Ji Xiuwen, you really hid this talent well!"
Ji Xiuwen gave Lu Xuan a resentful look, "Life forced me!"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but shiver.
After chatting and joking for a while, Ji Xiuwen suddenly said, "By the way, Lu Xuan, what's up with you and Su Kenan?"
"What do you mean 'what's up'?"
Lu Xuan looked at him puzzled, "She's Dr. Cheng's niece, here for an internship, and will return to school after the summer break."
Ji Xiuwen replied somewhat irritably, "Come on, Dr. Lu, stop pretending!"
Lu Xuan didn't want to discuss this, and Ji Xiuwen didn't push the subject further.
Glancing at the time, he noticed it was almost work time.
Today Su Kenan seemed to be running late, almost arriving at her work time as she entered the clinic.
Seeing Lu Xuan and Ji Xiuwen were already there, she quietly apologized, "Sorry."
Lu Xuan waved his hand, "It's okay, you're not late."
"By the way, how's your foot?" Lu Xuan's gaze fell on Su Kenan's still slightly limping foot.
"It should be almost healed." Su Kenan said softly.
Lu Xuan pointed to a chair not far away, "Sit there, let me check it again."
"Okay."
Su Kenan nodded gently, walked obediently to the designated place, sat down, and blushed as she slightly lifted her foot.
Without minding her blushing, Lu Xuan reached out to gently squeeze Su Kenan's ankle, looking up to ask, "Does it hurt?"
Su Kenan nodded, "A bit, but it's okay."
Lu Xuan felt around for a while longer, then stood up and smiled, "Alright, it's mostly recovered, but for now, don't exert too much force. Before it's fully healed, it's easy for it to get dislocated again."
"Okay."
"What's up with her foot?"
Ji Xiuwen asked, full of envy from the side, Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine's most beautiful figure, being toyed with by Lu Xuan, if word got out, countless hearts would be crushed.
"Her ankle got dislocated last week, but she's recovering well." Lu Xuan explained.
Ji Xiuwen froze, seemingly thinking of something, and questioned, "How do you know she's recovering well?"
Lu Xuan looked at him annoyed, "I handled it, how do you think I know?"
Ji Xiuwen stared at Lu Xuan for a long time, then couldn't help but gasp, "You even know how to set bones?"
"Yeah, why?"
"We weren't taught bone setting!" Ji Xiuwen looked puzzled.
The two of them had been inseparable since entering Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lu Xuan hadn't even looked at any bone-setting books. Knowing how quickly human bones grow was something he probably didn't know, and now he claims to know bone-setting, and judging by his demeanor, he seems quite good at it, how could Ji Xiuwen not be shocked.
Lu Xuan's expertise in Internal Medicine wasn't insignificant, that Ji Xiuwen could understand, maybe it was an epiphany.
But bone setting? They weren't taught that at all!
In just over half a year, mastering Acupuncture was already astonishing enough.
And now Lu Xuan could set bones too, who wouldn't be baffled?
Is this still the Lu Xuan I know?
Ji Xiuwen looked glum, "Why do you seem to know everything!"
Lu Xuan could only chuckle to brush it off.
This was not easy to explain.
"We'll talk later, let's get to work first, we've got a hefty workload today."
With that, Lu Xuan turned to Su Kenan, "Call out the names, please."
Su Kenan nodded and began operating the computer.
Despite his curiosity, Ji Xiuwen at this point could only sit down quietly across the room.
The three had just gotten into work mode when a person with a child entered through the door.
The man, about thirty years old, holding the hand of a somewhat timid child, as soon as he saw Lu Xuan, greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, Dr. Lu."
