The two of them ate and drank their fill.
Ji Xiuwen put down his chopsticks and gave Lu Xuan a mysterious look:
"Old classmate, do you seriously have no thoughts about it?"
Lu Xuan was a bit bewildered by his sudden question: "What thoughts?"
"Come on, stop pretending. I think that young girl is quite good, even though she's a bit younger than you, which might look like an old cow eating young grass. But Su Kenan is the white moonlight of Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you don't make a move soon, once she goes back to school and someone else chases her, you'll be crying too late," Ji Xiuwen said irritably.
Lu Xuan suddenly understood: "Oh, you mean this, but to be honest, I don't have those thoughts now. I just want to wholeheartedly devote myself to studying traditional Chinese medicine."
"Are you still studying?"
Ji Xiuwen widened his eyes: "Bro, give us foolish people a little hope. It's fine if you have an excellent memory, but to be so hardworking too, how are we supposed to survive?"
When studying, what's the thing you fear the most?
You're not afraid of others being more talented, nor are you afraid of them working harder. What you fear is someone who is way more talented than you and even puts in more effort, leaving you no hope to catch up.
After getting excited, Ji Xiuwen couldn't help but say, "I'm serious, even though Su Kenan might be a bit timid, she's not just a pretty face, and she has connections."
"How do you know?" Lu Xuan rolled his eyes dramatically.
He knew Su Kenan's family was wealthy; after all, living in that luxury house in East New City, even a fool knows her family isn't doing bad.
Talking about this, Ji Xiuwen straightened up and mysteriously said, "I really know something. Su Kenan is someone even our university's president pays special attention to. Without some backing, do you think that's possible?"
"And her background isn't small either. Our president's administrative level isn't low, and for that path you just mentioned, we can't make it solely on our own. We would need to leverage support from above. Marrying her might give you a helper in the future."
Lu Xuan looked speechless: "You make it sound like we're planning a rebellion."
"Of course not a rebellion, but isn't it similar?"
Ji Xiuwen said in a low voice, "Trying to overthrow Western medicine's dominance and bring traditional Chinese medicine back to the mainstream, isn't that like a rebellion? Old classmate, I'm not trying to dampen your spirits though I'm in this boat with you, but I have to mention, the end result might not be something you can accept."
"And to be honest, even if we had help from above, it might not work out. How many people practice traditional Chinese medicine? How many are in Western medicine? They wouldn't sit by and watch us rise. I just figure, in the end, the chance of us being swept out is very high."
At this, Ji Xiuwen spread his hands: "I don't mind, but it's a pity for your medical skills; not being able to treat patients would be a loss to them."
Lu Xuan fell into slight silence.
To be honest, he had considered what Ji Xiuwen mentioned.
He just didn't want to pay it much attention in the end, fearing that thinking too much might invoke fear, and then he wouldn't dare to act.
In this regard, Ji Xiuwen wasn't wrong; choosing this path really is like a rebellion.
But you can't just not do it out of fear of these things, right?
Even if it fails in the end, it wouldn't be in vain.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan smiled slightly: "Let's talk about the future later. For now, the only thing I can do is try my best to improve myself, rather than think of romantic things."
Women, they would only slow down my draw.
Lu Xuan's gaze was firm.
Ji Xiuwen shrugged his shoulders: "Suit yourself, but I really think you could give it some thought."
Lu Xuan smiled lightly but didn't continue on the topic.
"Let's go, take a nap."
Lu Xuan got up and checked the time. There was nearly an hour left to rest.
No sooner had he finished saying those words than his phone, lying on the table, lit up suddenly, accompanied by a vibration.
Lu Xuan glanced at it subconsciously and saw it was from Wu Liguo. He opened it casually:
"Dr. Lu, I was too busy last night to have someone see you off, I apologize.
By the way, whenever you have time, please send me your bank account details and name, as the payment for the flying knife will be wired to your account this week."
Lu Xuan replied offhandedly: "I'll send it when I have time, no rush, I have to be there tonight anyway."
Soon after Lu Xuan sent the message, Wu Liguo replied: "True, but please still send the account number soon, because the process on this end takes time, it's not that fast."
"Okay."
Not chatting much with Wu Liguo, Lu Xuan put his phone back in his pocket casually.
"What's up?"
Seeing Lu Xuan put his phone away, Ji Xiuwen asked curiously.
Lu Xuan was still thinking about going to the Ninth Hospital tonight, and casually said, "Nothing much, Director Wu Liguo from the Ninth Hospital's emergency department asked me to send him my bank account details."
Ji Xiuwen was taken aback, and instinctively asked, "Why does he need your bank account?"
It was then that Lu Xuan realized and explained, "The neurology department at the Ninth Hospital invited me to do a flying knife yesterday, and asked for my account number to wire the flying knife fee in a few days."
Going to the Ninth Hospital to do a flying knife?
Ji Xiuwen was in a daze for a moment, his eyes widening: "Bro, you just graduated not long ago, and a hospital's already inviting you for a flying knife?"
"Honestly, seeing people like you really pisses others off. Do you believe it? If I spread this around, those classmates would explode!"
