Chapter 38: The Listless Shi Wei
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Qingchen did not go home directly. Instead, she went to the Hundred Herb Hall. She naturally wanted to make good use of her weekend to learn more medical skills from her master.
“It’s so late. Could it be that he just woke up?”
Doctor Hua had been sitting here waiting for Gu Qingchen to come over early in the morning. In the end, Gu Qingchen only arrived at the Hundred Herb Hall around noon. Doctor Hua was so tired from waiting that he sat there and yawned.
Gu Qingchen walked in and glanced at Doctor Hua. The look in his eyes seemed to be saying, “I’ve seen through you.”
Doctor Hua was baffled and could not understand what was going on. He then heard Gu Qingchen say, “I went to deliver medicine this morning, but Young Master Rong did not take it.”!!
Doctor Hua was stunned. His eyes were wide open. He stood up and asked curiously, “You went to deliver medicine? How was it? That kid didn’t do anything to you, right? Quickly tell me about it.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I wonder if anything was interesting that happened between the two of them. A little fox against an old fox. It must be very interesting!”
Gu Qingchen read Doctor Hua’s thoughts and her face turned black.
She knew that Doctor Hua did it on purpose. He didn’t tell her anything about Rong Yu because he wanted to know who was more powerful and who was more shrewd.
“Oh, I didn’t do anything. He just fired you, Master.”
Huh?
What what?
Could it be that he was old, and his hearing was declining?
Why did Gu Qingchen say that Rong Yu had fired him!
“Is he crazy? That darn Brat Rong always makes people worry so much. This time, Elder Yuan will bother me every day! No, no, I’d better go personally.”
Doctor Hua was finally feeling nervous this time. If he had known earlier, he would not have wanted to watch the show and let Gu Qingchen go.
Thinking of Elder Yuan nagging him every day, Doctor Hua felt like his head could explode.
Gu Qingchen saw that Doctor Hua had been busy for a long time and was ready to go out after packing his things, then she added faintly, “But… he asked me to be his personal physician, so whether I can graduate or not depends on you, Master.”
Crack!
Doctor Hua felt his heart breaking, like a dumpling filling.
It was not because his work had been stolen by his disciple, but because he felt that he had definitely been played by his disciple.
This was clearly not how the script was arranged. He was clearly the director and the one who was watching the show. How did he end up being played by his disciple and Rong Yu when he did not manage to watch the show.
“Damn it! Who said that it was good to take in a disciple? That person had better come out and I will not hit you!” Doctor Hua thought.
“Girl, it seems a little unkind to steal my job.”
Doctor Hua deliberately put on a straight face. He wanted to make things right no matter what.
“I don’t believe that this girl could remain calm when she sees me angry.”
Gu Qingchen lowered her eyebrows and pursed her lips. Her eyes seemed to be smiling. It had to be said that her master was very cute, which made her always want to tease him.
“Master, you asked me to deliver the medicine, but you didn’t give me any instructions. There seems to be a lot of unkindness.”
Cough, cough, cough!
Doctor Hua suddenly became a little listless. He turned his head away awkwardly and did not look at Gu Qingchen. He tried to cover up his beard, but in the end, he still held it in.
“Master is getting old. Can’t I forget about it? You are a disciple, and you still dare to be so calculative with me!”
Gu Qingchen knew that her master needed a way out, so she understood.
Therefore, Gu Qingchen lowered her head humbly and said sincerely, “Master, you are right. It is my fault.”
Seeing Gu Qingchen being so humble and obedient, Doctor Hua felt much better. He would never tell Gu Qingchen how happy he was to get rid of Rong Yu, the smiling tiger.
Doctor Hua waved his hand and said generously, “Forget it, who asked me to be your master? Since Rong Yu asked you to treat him, his body will belong to you from now on.”
What!
Gu Qingchen felt a chill.
Why was her master speaking so incoherently?
Or could it be that she had experienced the things in her later life, and because of the proliferation of internet terms, that she had an open mind, and it was easy for her to misunderstand?
Alright, it was her fault for thinking ahead of time.
Seeing that Gu Qingchen was still submissive, Doctor Hua continued, “Since Brat Rong asked you to treat him, then you have a lot to learn. From today onwards, you have to make more time to come over. I’ll hand over everything I know to you. The rest will depend on your talent. Learning medicine is also a kind of talent.”
Doctor Hua looked at Gu Qingchen and sighed. “If I had met you a few years ago, I would have finished my apprenticeship by now.”
Gu Qingchen’s ability to comprehend things was very strong. This was something that Doctor Hua discovered after teaching Gu Qingchen for so long. To be honest, he really regretted it a little.
If he had thought of taking in a disciple a few years ago and took in Gu Qingchen, perhaps Gu Qingchen’s medical skills would be superb by now.
Fortunately, Gu Qingchen learned quickly. He wanted to use the shortest amount of time to produce a new generation of medical masters.
Gu Qingchen nodded strongly. “I will find more time to come over. Master, you can also give me tasks. I will go back and study.”
She was still a student and was not an adult yet. Naturally, she had to go back home.
However, if she were to go to Hongfeng, she would have more freedom. Lodging was available in Hongfeng, and the curfew was known to be lenient. If she went back a little later, at least her parents would not worry.
Perhaps, she should indeed consider going to Hongfeng.
“Mhm, that’s fine too. But there’s one thing you must pay attention to. Before I say that you can finish your apprenticeship, you absolutely cannot treat Rong Yu that kid.”
Doctor Hua’s tone was very serious, which showed the importance of this matter.
Gu Qingchen also knew the seriousness of the matter. “Master, I don’t want to be arrested for practicing medicine without a license.”
Seeing that Gu Qingchen had a sense of propriety, Doctor Hua heaved a sigh of relief. Rong Yu was not an ordinary person. If Gu Qingchen was a little careless, then what awaited her would be a punishment that would destroy the world.
At this moment, he was a little worried about this little disciple of his.
Sigh, anyway, it was a very conflicted mentality.
On one hand, he felt that he was liberated, and he no longer had to face Rong Yu, that smiling tiger. On the other hand, he was worried that something would happen to Gu Qingchen.
If he wanted to blame someone, he would have to blame Rong Yu for being so powerful that even a person like him, whose body was half-buried in the ground, would be afraid of him.
There were not many people who could make him so afraid.
In the following period of time, Gu Qingchen had been learning medical skills from Doctor Hua. Doctor Hua was not careless at all and was very serious in guiding Gu Qingchen.
On Monday, when they went to school, the homeroom teacher, Liu Ying, did not come and was still recuperating at home. When Shi Wei saw Gu Qingchen for the first time, the expression in her eyes was complicated. There was jealousy, resentment, and even a little fear.
Gu Qingchen looked over and only then did she understand what had happened.
“Could it be that my family’s account book is really in Gu Qingchen’s hands? If this is true, then what should I do? Am I going to be bullied by Gu Qingchen in the future? No, I can’t accept this. Even if Gu Qingchen really has the account book, I have to think of a way to get it back! Hmph, Gu Qingchen, just you wait. You won’t be able to stay alive for more than a few days.”
