"Dr. Chen, can your magical traditional Chinese medicine help me lose weight?"

Even though Chen Mu knew that everyone who came to see him was seeking medical help,

Luo Jiaojiao's request caught him off guard.

Chen Mu recalled what Luo Jiaojiao said, "Are you saying that you've reached the necessary exercise level, controlled your diet, but still haven't seen any results?"

Seeing that Chen Mu doubted her,

Luo Jiaojiao got a bit anxious, "Dr. Chen, here is my daily weight loss plan. I've strictly followed it, in terms of both diet and exercise. See for yourself!"

"I've checked off everything I've completed each day."

As she spoke, Luo Jiaojiao pulled a small notebook from her bag.

As soon as Chen Mu took the notebook, the filming brother's camera eagerly zoomed in.

—

"Dr. Chen can help with weight loss too? A three-hundred-pound big guy slowly sat up!"

"Three hundred pounds? Buddy, you really need to lose some weight, for your health!"

"I have to say, this girl did something I've been wanting to do for a long time but never acted on it — seeking weight loss help from traditional Chinese medicine!"

"I'll wait and see; if she succeeds, I'll also try finding an old Chinese medicine practitioner."

"I live in Hai City too, and I didn't know if Dr. Chen considers taking patients outside the university. I'd prefer Dr. Chen over an unknown practitioner."

"Seeing Dr. Chen? You might want to give up on that dream. Dr. Chen at Hai City University alone is already overwhelmed!"

"Doesn't Dr. Chen have summer and winter breaks? Maybe he could do some pro bono work!"

"???"

"You guys even have your eyes on Dr. Chen's break time, impressive! Maybe make a suggestion on Hai City University's official social media."

"..."

—

After a few pages, Chen Mu got the gist of it.

Luo Jiaojiao incorporated activities like climbing stairs, running, and jump roping, maintaining at least two hours of exercise each day.

Her three meals were also no exception.

Breakfast was a small bun with a cup of coffee.

Considering both her exercise routine and weight,

If she hasn't fainted from low blood sugar after a month, her physical condition must be exceptional!

Chen Mu tapped on the armrest, "I'm not sure if I can help you, but I can check your pulse."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Luo Jiaojiao quickly placed her wrist on the armrest.

Looking at Chen Mu, her eyes were full of unspoken trust.

"I think I've found your issue. Your body has excess moisture; this accumulation is why your weight won't drop."

"I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Find a pharmacy outside the campus to get it, and have them cook it for you."

"Take it three times a day, eat normal meals, and after half a month, come back to see me."

Luo Jiaojiao received the prescription from Chen Mu.

For a moment,

She looked dumbfounded.

"Dr. Chen, are you saying I can actually eat a bowl of white rice with a meal?"

"And still lose weight?"

Chen Mu nodded with a smile, "The school cafeteria offers a meal with two meats and one vegetable, right? As long as you don't exceed that portion, it's fine."

Luo Jiaojiao's eyes lit up as she looked at Chen Mu, "Dr. Chen, can I ask another question?"

"With this prescription, what kind of exercise should I maintain?"

At this moment, Luo Jiaojiao's thought was simple.

If she doesn't need to control her diet, she should at least exercise, right?!

Chen Mu thought for a moment, "About an hour of walking every day should do."

Luo Jiaojiao looked at Chen Mu in disbelief, "Dr. Chen... that's... that's so simple..."

Chen Mu smiled, "If there's no effect in half a month, come find me at the school clinic."

"Thank you so much, Dr. Chen!" Luo Jiaojiao happily held the prescription, packed her things, and prepared to leave.

Just as she was about to step out of the clinic.

"Wait a moment, student!"

Turning back, Luo Jiaojiao saw Chen Mu, chin in hand, lost in thought.

Chen Mu didn't speak, and Luo Jiaojiao wasn't in a hurry.

She knew that since Dr. Chen called her back, there must be a reason.

Half a minute later,

Chen Mu looked at Luo Jiaojiao with a smile, "Luo, the weather in Hai City is still hot. If you cook half a month's worth of herbal medicine in one go, how will you store it?"

"Without refrigeration, it will spoil in a day."

Luo Jiaojiao frowned, "I could talk to a nearby shop owner, offer them some money, and ask to use their fridge?"

Chen Mu nodded, "That sounds like a good idea, but..."

Chen Mu smiled, gesturing at the camera behind him, "With you setting this example, I believe many students will come to the school clinic for a weight loss prescription."

"If you all go to the shops to ask for fridge space, will they still help you?"

"The shopowners have a business to run and can't let students' herbal medicines take over their fridges, leaving no room for cold drinks."

Chen Mu's words made perfect sense.

Even if Luo Jiaojiao felt something was off, she couldn't help but follow his lead, "Then... Dr. Chen..."

"How do you think I should store the herbal medicine?"

Chen Mu grinned wider, "That's easy. You can bring the cooked medicine to the school clinic, and we'll keep it in our fridge for you."

Luo Jiaojiao glanced around the clinic.

Finally,

She asked blankly, "Dr. Chen... I don't seem to see a refrigerator in your clinic..."

Chen Mu continued to smile, "Student, some things are not visible doesn't mean they don't exist."

"I'm just asking if the clinic could store your herbal medicine for free, wouldn't that be more convenient for you students?"

Luo Jiaojiao nodded blankly, "It would indeed be much more convenient."

"If the clinic offers this service, my first choice for storing herbal medicine soup would definitely be the clinic."

Chen Mu waved happily at Luo Jiaojiao, "Great, you can go buy the medicine now and bring your herbal soup to me this afternoon."

Just as Luo Jiaojiao left the clinic,

Chen Mu quickly locked the clinic door.

The students still waiting in line outside were bewildered, racking their brains, wondering if they had inadvertently offended Dr. Chen.

Why was the door closed just as it was their turn?

Inside the clinic,

Chen Mu cheerfully found the principal's phone number from his contacts.

He dialed,

"Principal, the cold drink fridge I requested last month, make sure it gets to the clinic this afternoon!"

"Oh! Principal, what are you talking about? This isn't a personal request; it's a need for the whole student body at Hai City University!"
