Chapter 535:1 Really Like Him

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tang Beibei was a little nervous when she heard the doctor’s caution about not casually using medication.

“These are all herbs beneficial for external wound healing. I’ve checked. There are no side effects, and he’s not allergic.”

“Oh, you know about this?”

The doctor smelled the herbal scent and was a little surprised.

“You’ve studied this?”

Tang Beibei nodded with a smile. Then, the doctor asked, “Are you studying traditional Chinese medicine? You should have graduated from university, right?”

“No, I’m a sophomore. I’m Professor Chen’s student.”

“Professor Chen in traditional Chinese medicine?”

The doctor’s eyes lit up as he smiled and said, “What a coincidence. Professor Chen is consulting the hospital today. I was also planning to prescribe these ointments, but the purity of your extract is higher. Let him use it first to test the effect.”

Tang Beibei was at a loss for words.

Tang Beibei felt guilty now. She dared not show off in front of Professor Chen.

“You’re only a sophomore, but you’re already at this level. You’re really amazing. Why don’t you obtain a medical practitioner’s license and come to our hospital? I’ll exempt you from the internship period. You can work as a junior doctor once you’re here.”

“Ah, isn’t this too fast?”

Obtaining a medical practitioner’s license wasn’t compulsory for graduating students.

She could complete the required study, pass the exam, and obtain the certificate.

“Not fast at all. Our hospital is lacking talents like you. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have invited Professor Chen to hold consultations. Nowadays, everyone believes in traditional Chinese medicine and wants to try it. Every time Professor Chen comes, the appointments in the traditional Chinese medicine department are fully booked in seconds!”

Tang Beibei scratched her head. She hadn’t made up her mind yet.

Jiang Jingchen went up to the doctor and said, “Director, my wife is still in the learning stage. It will take another year for her career development to be decided. Once she has made her decision, she will definitely take the professional certificate exam. As for the job, Professor Chen is my wife’s teacher. He will definitely make arrangements. It’s not easy for her to promise now.”

This doctor was the director of the Dermatology Department. When he heard that it was Professor Chen who would make the arrangements, he didn’t insist any further.

He checked on Song Zhou and gave him a few more instructions before leaving.

Tang Beibei got up and told Jiang Jingchen that she hadn’t seen Professor Chen for almost two weeks. Since Professor Chen was in the hospital, she wanted to bring him a glass of water.

Jiang Jingchen got up and accompanied her to the traditional Chinese medicine department.

Tang Beibei took the kettle and went to get some hot water. Then, she went to the department to see Professor Chen, who was wearing glasses and examining a patient.

He was getting on in years. After a busy afternoon, he was also a little tired as he pinched his glabella.

She went over to pour him some tea. “Teacher, take a break if you’re tired.”

Professor Chen looked at her in surprise. “Why are you here? Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, I’m here to pour you a cup of tea. I thought that you must have forgotten to drink tea with all the busyness. The tea will get cold if it’s placed beside you.”

Professor Chen looked at the full teacup and picked it up. It was already cold, but she had added water. Now, the temperature was just right.

He took a sip of tea and said, “You want me to rest? Come, sit down. You can treat the patients, and I’ll oversee.”

“Uh, me?”

Tang Beibei was frightened. She didn’t dare!

Professor Chen waited for her. “Timid girl, I’m here. What are you afraid of? Would I let you make a mistake and ruin my reputation?”

“Oh.”

Tang Beibei licked her lips and sat down slowly, looking at Jiang Jingchen.

Jiang Jingchen touched her head. “Just do it boldly. If there’s any problem, it will be Professor Chen’s responsibility since everyone here is under Professor Chen’s care.”

Professor Chen was speechless.

Professor Chen almost choked on his tea and glared at Jiang Jingchen.

“You get out, get out. Is this how you comfort people?”

Jiang Jingchen politely said, “My wife has never done such a thing before. It’s inevitable that she’s a little timid. I’m letting her feel at ease and be bold. Professor Chen likes my wife and will definitely help her. I won’t disturb your teacher-student time and I’ll wait outside.”

“Hurry up and get lost. You scheming guy. Your heart is as dirty as it gets!”

Tang Beibei was speechless.

Tang Beibei touched Jiang Jingchen’s wrist and checked it carefully. She was relieved that his heart was fine.

Jiang Jingchen was speechless.

Professor Chen looked at her expression and put down his teacup angrily.

“Unauthorized personnel, go out and call the next patient in.”

The patient walked in and saw a young lady wearing a mask sitting on the seat. He looked at Professor Chen, who was drinking tea beside her, in confusion. “Dr. Chen, weren’t you the one doing the consultation? Why is it a little girl?” Professor Chen said, “I’ve been consulting for the whole afternoon. I’m tired. This is my apprentice. Let her examine you. I’ll supervise.”

When the patient heard that Dr. Chen was tired, he sympathized with him.

He had waited here for the whole afternoon just to get this specialist appointment with Dr. Chen, but Professor Chen hadn’t even gone to the restroom the entire afternoon.

“Uncle, place your hand here. Tell me about your situation.”

The uncle put his hand on the table. Tang Beibei made her diagnosis. She listened to him ramble on about the recent situation.

Tang Beibei first typed out his symptoms and showed them to Professor Chen.

If Professor Chen felt that it was right, he wouldn’t say anything. If not, he would point it out.

Tang Beibei heaved a sigh of relief when she didn’t hear any objections from him.

She was especially afraid that she would make a fool of herself with her first patient.

But regarding which medicine to prescribe, Tang Beibei hadn’t dealt with it before. So Professor Chen had to prescribe it.

Professor Chen named a few medications, and Tang Beibei input them before giving the patient a prescription.

As the two worked together, Professor Chen saw that the little girl didn’t make any mistakes and was very satisfied. He thought of teaching her more.

The two of them continued the discussion until the consultation ended. Professor Chen stood up and said, “In the future, you don’t have to be on duty. Come with me and provide free consultation every week. Hurry up and get the medical practitioner’s license.”

“Me? Do consultations?”

“In ancient times, medical students also studied for a few years and started to assist their masters in consultations. Nowadays, medical education is many times more advanced than in ancient times, and the scope of medical knowledge is broader. You’ve studied more than those apprentices did back then, so of course, you can do consultations.”

Since Professor Chen had said so, Tang Beibei couldn’t refuse.

However, it was indeed not bad for her to be able to make use of what she had learned in the past during consultation.

She quickly packed up Professor Chen’s things and tidied up the consultation room as usual before leaving.

“Hey, Teacher Chen, wait a minute. I have a case here that requires your joint consultation.”

Professor Chen pointed at the clock. “I’m off duty now, Director Cao.”

“Sigh, this patient is a little special. Professor Chen, please help out. It’ll only take a few minutes of your time,” Director Cao begged.

Professor Chen sighed. Many patients who came to the hospital every day needed joint consultation.

This was especially the elderly who had many chronic diseases. The treatment was complicated. Without a comprehensive plan, it was impossible to make progress.

Director Cao was from the Cardiology Department and was Professor Chen’s former student. Since he had already asked for it, Professor Chen reluctantly agreed and went to take a look with him.

“Beibei, come and take a look as well.”

“Teacher Chen, who is this?”

“Your junior sister, my student.”

Hearing that she was Professor Chen’s direct disciple, Director Cao dared not underestimate her. He smiled and called her little junior sister then led them to the patient’s ward.

Tang Beibei contacted Jiang Jingchen. Jiang Jingchen said that he had returned to Song Zhou’s ward and asked about the situation. He offered to come and pick her up.

“I’m not a child. I won’t get lost in the hospital. There was a small incident here. Professor Chen is going for a joint consultation and asked me to be his assistant. I’ll be back later.”

“Alright, contact me if you need anything. I’ll wait for you here.”

Tang Beibei noticed Professor Chen’s gaze and quickly got off her phone. She gave him a fawning smile.

Professor Chen snorted. “Young people are really inseparable when it comes to love. Tang Beibei, you have to be an independent woman. Don’t be too clingy and you’ll be despised.”

“No, my husband won’t find me annoying.”

“Heh, men. Other than your father, don’t trust any of them.”

Tang Beibei was stunned. Father?

She did have a foster father, but she couldn’t trust him even more.

As for her biological father, she had never seen him before.

“Teacher, do you mean that I shouldn’t believe you either?”

“Hey, you little girl.”

Professor Chen was choked by her retort. He pointed at her and couldn’t say anything for a long time. He snorted coldly and complained, “Jiang Jingchen, an old cow eats young grass. What kind of bewitching potion did you give this girl?”

Tang Beibei had sharp ears and eyes. When she heard Professor Chen’s words, she smiled and whispered, “My husband didn’t give me any bewitching soup. He’s very good to me. When he nags occasionally, he’s quite like my father. He gives me a sense of security. I really like him.”

Professor Chen was speechless.

Forced to witness this affectionate scene, Professor Chen rolled his eyes..
