Chapter 303: Doctor Tang Insists on Taking in Zi Yi as a Student

When Zi Yi went to find Dr. Qiao, it ended up as a group discussion.

By the time she returned to Elder Dou’s room, it was already noon.

Facing the stares of her two Uncles, Zi Yi said, “Don’t worry. We’ll be able to develop the analgesic without any side effects in a couple of days.”

“You…” Dou Jingning actually wanted to ask something, but the words changed in the end. “Are you hungry?”

He was feeling a complicated emotion right now. Their niece was truly excellent. She was so excellent to the extent that they were unfamiliar with her.

What else was she capable of?

Dou Xiaoyong’s gaze also contained a complicated emotion. “Xiangling should be bringing dinner later. But if you’re too hungry, you can…”

He suddenly recalled his grandson passing him a candy before he left in the morning and he took it out.

“Have candy first.”

Zi Yi looked at the candy in his hands and her eyes revealed surprise.

She took the candies and ate it after peeling off the wrapper.

It was milk candy. The strong milk scent instantly exploded in her mouth. She then met with the gazes of her two uncles and nodded. “It’s delicious.”

They had unexpectedly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and thought, “Should they bring along some candies in the future.”

Zi Yi was unaware of her uncle’s train of thought.

She explained to them what she had discussed with Dr. Qiao earlier and said, “I will add some other prescription for Grandfather after he’s hospitalized for a period of time. But there’s no need to worry, the prescription will not cause any harm to his body.”

The two middle-aged men were silent for a while and Dou Jingning asked, “Little Zi, why are you explaining this to us?”

Zi Yi answered seriously, “It’s to reassure you and to let you know that I’m different from the past.”

Her uncles were surprised deep down.

So Little Zi has always been concerned about what they said in the past?

The rim of their eyes had somehow turned wet.

Zi Yi did not expect such a reaction from them and was at a loss. She did not know how to comfort them and could only purse her lips and pull out her phone.

It was as if they were connected in their hearts, as Lu Jingye had sent her a message at that exact moment.

“Yiyi, are you still in the hospital?”

“Yes.”

She then typed another few words. “I might have to stay in the hospital for a day or two.”

Lu Jingye: “Ok. I’ll get the housekeeper to deliver some daily necessities. If you are unaccustomed to the food there, you can get the housekeeper to bring some.”

The corner of her lips curled up and she responded with an ok.

Just then, knocking sounds could be heard from the door.

Dou Xiangling walked in and saw her Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle and Zi Yi standing there and there was a weird atmosphere around them. She thought that Zi Yi was getting reprimanded and hastily brought the meal boxes over with a smile. “Uncles, Yiyi, have something to eat first. You must be hungry.”

Dou Xiaoyong came over and took the box from Dou Xiangling’s hands, while Dou Jingning went to take out the folding table.

Dou Xiangling took the opportunity to walk over to Zi Yi and whispered, “Yiyi, what did you say to Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle?

Zi Yi looked at her worried expression and was confused. “I only told them about developing painkillers for Grandfather.”

Dou Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Dou Jingning called out, “Little Zi, come over and eat.”

“Okay.”

When Zi Yi walked over and sat down at the table, she asked, “Cousin, have you eaten?”

Dou Xiangling nodded.

Zi Yi turned to look at the food and started eating with her two uncles.

Before they finished the meal, knocking sounds came from the door.

Dou Xiangling went to open the door and saw a few specialists, and just as she was about to invite them inside, Deputy Pang asked with a smile, “Is Little Zi here?”

Dou Xiangling was just about to answer, when Zi Yi spoke before she could. “I’m here.”

The doctors revealed a relieved expression at the same time.

Dou Xiangling was surprised and hastily motioned for them to enter. “Please come in.”

She had no idea why they were asking for her cousin the moment they arrived.

When the doctors came in and saw Zi Yi having her meal, the old Chinese medicine specialist, Tang Ping said with a smile, “It seems like we have come at a bad time.”

Zi Yi nodded in response.

Tang Ping: “…”

Her two Uncles sitting next to her looked at the impolite Zi Yi and decided to remain silent.

Tang Ping did not reveal any expressions of shame or anger at all. Instead, he chuckled and said, “Take your time. We came here to talk about some problems with the medicinal ingredients and equipment.”

Zi Yi nodded her head. “Give me two minutes.”

Having said that, she buried her head and continued to eat.

Dou Jingning and Dou Xiaoyong followed her and increased their speed.

The three of them soon finished their meal. Dou Xiangling went over to pack the dishes away and wiped the folding table before she put it aside.

Everyone sat on the sofas and stools.

Zi Yi and the few doctors began to have a discussion.

They were discussing medical problems and the three Dou Family members could not cut in at all.

The crowd only left after an hour or so.

Dou Xiangling said in surprise, “Yiyi, you’re so good at medicine!”

“It’s not particularly good.” Zi Yi said, “I’ve only seen plenty of ancient… medical books and talked nonsense with them.”

The three of them revealed an expression of disbelief.

Zi Yi shrugged her shoulders. “Forget it if you don’t believe me. I am only capable of theory and if you get me to do an operation, I won’t be able to do so.”

AI was prevalent in the interstellar era and many illnesses were cured by soaking in medicinal baths. There was no longer the need to personally operate, unlike the current era.

The three of them felt that she was trying to be modest, but they could not prove it.

Since Zi Yi refused to admit it, they could not possibly force her.

Dou Jingning said, “Since you’ll be researching analgesics with them for the next few days, you definitely would not have time to rest after gathering all the medicinal ingredients. Why don’t you go and take a rest first?”

Dou Xiaoyong and Dou Xiangling agreed with him.

“Yiyi, why don’t you take a rest at a nearby hotel?”

“There’s no need… I need to see what equipment can be used in the laboratory. There’s no time to waste.”

She was just about to head outside after she said that. However, just as she took two steps, she turned and said to them, “There’s no need to worry about me. It’s just a day or two and it doesn’t really affect me.”

At most, she’ll sleep more in the following days.

In the end, she stayed in the laboratory for an entire day. When she finished modifying the special equipment used to produce the medicine, one day had passed. She then produced the special medicine with the specialists and it was three days later when they were done.

Looking at the new painkillers, the doctors were extremely excited.

Dr. Tang Ping pulled Zi Yi and said, “Little Friend, are you interested in learning Chinese medicine? It won’t do to just have theoretical knowledge. Come under me, I’ll pass on all my knowledge to you.”

Zi Yi was just about to speak when Dr. Tang Ping said with a smile, “Then it’ll be a joyous agreement between us. When you return from your military training, I will officially accept you as my student.”

Zi Yi: “…”

When did they come to a joyous agreement?
