I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Tian Jun’s serious face displayed surprise, ”Studied traditional Chinese medicine?”

”Yes! And her skills don’t seem low!”

Tian Jun’s eyes flickered with light, finally letting out a bitter laugh, ”I’ll inform the family of the situation and see how we decide.”

”Alright, Brother, you leave now. Don’t tell the family about my situation for now; it’s already chaotic as is. I’ll let you know once I’m better!” Tian Lei began urging him to leave.

Tian Jun’s brows furrowed with worry, ”I don’t know why you trust her so much, but if anything goes wrong, contact me as soon as possible. I’ll arrange a doctor for you; this illness can’t be delayed.”

”I know, I know, now you should go!” Tian Lei waved his hand.

Tian Jun nodded and walked out, ”Keep the phone lines open. If I can’t reach you, I’ll come to get you myself.”

”I told you nothing will happen; I’m not going to joke about my life!”

When Beisitian returned with the medicine prepared, Tian Jun had already left. She was a bit surprised; Tian Lei’s older brother seemed much too at ease, leaving after just delivering the herbs despite his brother having tuberculosis.

”My older brother is so boring, always with that serious face like a math teacher. I don’t even want to spend a minute more with him!” Tian Lei laughed as he said this, his eyes falling on that glass of clear water.

”I just drank water, not thirsty. Xiao Bei, you’re so thoughtful!”

Thoughtful...

Beisitian frowned, ”Be careful with your words next time. It’s inappropriate to express yourself like this among colleagues!”

Tian Lei was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter, ”Xiao Bei, you’re adorably straightforward!”

Beisitian was quite speechless seeing he had no intention of mending his ways. She had already said so, a normal person would feel embarrassed and pay attention next time, right? What’s wrong with this guy?

She considered herself not familiar with Tian Lei, yet he acted very chummy with her. If he was like this with everyone, she’d ignore it, but he seemed to act this way only with her.

Though Tian Lei consistently used inappropriate expressions, his gaze toward her was clear, free from any romantic implication. This was why she hadn’t said much initially.

”This is medicine, not water.” Beisitian said with a wooden face.

Tian Lei looked at the clear water again, laughing, ”I’m not stupid, I can tell the difference between medicine and water!”

Beisitian silently looked at this fool, then asked slowly and deliberately, ”Are you going to drink it or not?”

”Alright, alright, I’ll drink.” Tian Lei took the cup, tilted his head back to drink, smacked his lips, and pretended, ”This medicine is so sweet~”

With that, he seemed to savor the taste.

Beisitian’s eyebrows twitched slightly, took the cup, and left. The talismanic water was tasteless, where had he gotten the sweetness from!

Beisitian left and didn’t come in again; the next round of medicine was scheduled for tomorrow.

However, Tian Lei waited and waited, still expecting Beisitian to brew the traditional medicine for him...

Eventually, as it was nearly time to clock off, Shen Junping came to see him. Only then, with a mournful face, did he say that Beisitian was ignoring him and wouldn’t brew the medicine for him.

Shen Junping laughed silently, seeing Tian Lei clowning around. After getting to know him, he found Tian Lei’s nature to be quite lively.

”Did she give you a glass of clear water?” Shen Junping asked. Seeing him nod, he recalled that the same medicine that looked like clear water was given to Sister Yu.
