On the roadside, Chen Fang found a hotel and checked into a room using his own ID.

As the door to the room opened, Xiaoxue was stunned.

Pointing at the double bed room in front of her, she asked, "Is this the hotel?"

"Is there a problem?"

Chen Fang retorted.

Xiaoxue looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, and from her expression, it seemed she was quite dissatisfied with the room.

In fact, this was already a three-star hotel, and this room cost over three hundred for a night. Although Chen Fang was not short of money, he was never one to spend lavishly.

However, in Xiaoxue's view, the conditions of this hotel still seemed too poor.

"No... it's nothing."

She didn't dare to complain, so she just had to make do and settle in.

"About this room, I've booked it for you for a week. Additionally, I'll give you some money, which you can use for food. As for how you live after that, you'll have to figure it out on your own."

Having said this,

Chen Fang pulled out a stack of money.

And placed it on the bedside table.

"Thank you."

Xiaoxue said.

Chen Fang waved his hand and said, "Alright, then I'll be going..."

Before he could finish speaking,

Chen Fang suddenly noticed two streams of crimson blood flowing from beneath Xiaoxue's nose.

"You..."

Chen Fang pointed with his hand, and Xiaoxue immediately realized something.

She quickly grabbed a tissue, wiped the blood from under her nose, and said with a laugh, "It's nothing, probably just ate something too greasy, got a bit of heat."

That's not right.

Chen Fang had studied medicine after all.

And he realized something was not normal.

He quickly grabbed Xiaoxue's hand and checked her pulse.

It wasn't long before Chen Fang's brows furrowed.

Looking at Xiaoxue, he asked, "Do you often have nosebleeds?"

Xiaoxue's first instinct was to conceal the truth, but seeing Chen Fang's piercing gaze, she felt intimidated and reluctantly nodded, saying, "Once every few days. When it's frequent, several times a day, no pattern."

"You frequently catch colds, right?"

Chen Fang continued to inquire.

Xiaoxue was taken aback, and somewhat surprised, nodded again.

"And you often feel very tired, and when you're tired, the nosebleeds get worse, and your heart area also hurts a lot, right?"

Chen Fang asked further.

Xiaoxue's mouth dropped open, exclaiming, "How do you know all this?"

"What did the doctor say?"

Chen Fang did not answer her question but instead asked her seriously.

Xiaoxue's expression instantly turned mournful, she shook her head and said, "I have been like this since I was a child, my parents took me to many hospitals, visited many famous doctors, but they have no solution."

Now, Chen Fang finally understood why Xiaoxue hadn't eaten those dishes, not because she was too elite to partake in mortal pleasures, but because she simply couldn't eat those particularly rich and greasy dishes.

"If I'm not mistaken, you probably have Blood Reversal."

Chen Fang said confidently.

Xiaoxue's eyes widened, "Blood Reversal? I've never heard a doctor say that, they couldn't even diagnose what it is."

"In traditional Chinese medicine, Qi and blood are the fundamental substances sustaining human life activities, circulating through the meridian system throughout the body, nourishing various organs. 'Blood Reversal' is a very rare pathological condition where, under certain conditions, blood in the body does not flow along the normal meridian pathways but instead flows in the opposite direction, especially in some vulnerable areas like the nasal cavity, leading to frequent abnormal bleeding."

Although Chen Fang spoke with certainty, Xiaoxue didn't understand a single word.

In the midst of speaking,

The nosebleed Xiaoxue had wiped off started flowing again.

She whimpered softly,

Suddenly clutching her heart, her facial expression gradually began to twist.

Pulse abnormal.

Chen Fang realized that Xiaoxue was probably entering a state of pain.

I quickly supported her shoulders, letting her sit down.

"Has the bleeding become more frequent lately?"

Chen Fang asked.

Xiaoxue nodded painfully. She looked up at Chen Fang with effort, forced a smile, and asked, "The doctor said I'm about to die, is that true?"

"Yes!"

Chen Fang nodded.

The answer was honest.

Xiaoxue was expected to cry, but she didn't. She just sighed heavily and said, "That's why I sneaked out from home. Because of this illness, my family never lets me go out. I'm only 25 years old; I want to see the outside world. I always tell myself that I may not have traveled far, but I must die on the way there."

Chen Fang originally thought he was dealing with a naive wealthy young lady playing the cliché runaway game.

The game was the same, but the story was a sad one.

"How long do I have to live?"

Xiaoxue suddenly asked.

Chen Fang frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "A week, maybe just three to five days."

"What a pity. I should have run away from home earlier."

When Xiaoxue said this, her face was full of regret; her regret was not about her impending death, but about not having a good look at the world.

Chen Fang sighed deeply.

Said, "Don't worry, you won't die, as long as you trust me, I can cure you."

"You can cure me?"

Xiaoxue was stunned.

She looked at Chen Fang incredulously.

"Yes, I can cure you."

Chen Fang repeated.

Xiaoxue seemed to see hope all at once.

She stood up abruptly.

"But the process is not that simple. You must rest well now; I'll come over tomorrow and explain in detail,"

Chen Fang said.

Xiaoxue stared at Chen Fang for a long time and finally nodded.

The next day was Sunday.

Chen Fang got up early in the morning.

The first thing he did after getting out of bed was heading straight to the Traditional Medicine Market in Guyang City.

He wandered around for a whole hour.

Only then did he manage to buy all the medicinal materials he needed.

After returning home, he pulled out a notebook left by his father and found a record on Blood Reversal in it.

Following the steps in the notebook,

he brewed the medicinal materials step by step into a bowl and placed it in a thermal mug before rushing to the motel.

He had already entered the motel, then he suddenly remembered something, hurried out, and went to pack a breakfast to bring up.

A simple breakfast.

Soy milk and youtiao.

Yet, Xiaoxue had never eaten youtiao.

Initially, she was a bit reluctant to eat it.

Once she took a bite, she quickly cheered up and managed to stuff a bowl of soy milk and two sticks of youtiao into her stomach, then curiously pointed to the thermal mug that Chen Fang placed on the table, asking, "What's this?"

"Medicine!"

Chen Fang replied.

Xiaoxue's expression immediately became tense, and she timidly asked, "Is it for me to take?"

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Before taking the medicine, I have a few words to say to you."

Seeing Chen Fang's expression turn serious,

Xiaoxue nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Chen Fang sighed deeply and said, "I told you last night that I can treat your illness, but I am not entirely sure, and the treatment process will be very painful. Are you willing to try?"

"How painful will it be?"

Xiaoxue asked.
