However, to be fair, Bai Zhu was not confident that he could cure the other person.
Although saying this is extremely corrupting of medical ethics, if even doctors have no confidence in their patients, how can they cheer them up?
But sometimes, the priorities of the two are completely reversed.
People who have been ill for a long time are mentally depressed, and if they have a serious illness, they are hanging on by a thread.
The most important thing at this time is not to heal his body, but to stabilize his faith. After all, if the patient believes that he cannot survive and does not want to survive, no matter how advanced the medical skills are, they will be powerless.
When he had examined Miss Yunchang earlier, he had seen the kind of depressed and decadent look that only an old person with not much time left would have.
Her illness was not only due to physical weakness of unknown cause, but also the sadness of her parents abandoning her to go to another country and then unfortunately passing away, leaving her all alone.
Even his legs have become difficult to move because of the mental barrier. He has locked himself in his heart, believing that there is no cure and only wants to end the rest of his life as quickly as possible.
This kind of heart disease is caused by many factors. Unless Baizhu can reverse time and go back to the past to treat it from the source, everything is empty talk.
But obviously, he couldn't even cure his own illness, so how could he help this poor little girl?
Not everyone has the same fate as Qiqi. Moreover, from a certain perspective, whether becoming an existence like Qiqi is a good thing or a bad thing is really debatable.
In his assessment, it might be a good thing if the former Miss Yunshang could forget everything like Qiqi did and start over with a new identity.
But tragedy is always tragedy. Fantasy can only be fantasy, and real people do not have the possibility of such a choice.
But, for some reason——
Looking at Miss Yunshang, whose eyes now had light in them, he always felt that she had overcome her mental barriers and her body was rejuvenated.
At least, if it was the child in the past, he would never think of taking the initiative to come to him for medical treatment, let alone make friends with others.
A girl who believes that she is unfortunate will only think that getting too involved with others will only bring them bad luck.
What exactly caused her to change so much?
Was it the help of this young man, the mercy of the immortals, or the attention of the gods...
All of these may cause a person to undergo a huge psychological transformation, thus reaching a state of "as if cured" where he or she no longer considers himself or herself to be sick.
He was curious about this, very curious.
"It seems that Miss Yunshang has recovered well. Being able to have the energy to overcome mental barriers is often the first step to physical recovery."
Bai Zhu pushed his glasses and spoke in a friendly tone.
"Do you mind sharing the moment when you changed your mindset? Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I just hope to provide some real examples for other patients who are suffering from similar diseases to help them get back on their feet."
If even children can stand firm in the face of illness, can we as adults do any worse?
In terms of reason, these words can be regarded as a kind-hearted doctor.
However, Yunchang didn’t have any reliable experiences to share. She couldn’t just ask people to wait for death and see if there was a chance to start over, right?
What's more, her condition is obviously different from the treatment most people want.
Therefore, she could only try to refer to her own psychological changes and give some suggestions.
"Maybe I just feel like I can't go on like this. Even if it's just for the sake of enjoying life now, I should do what I want to do without any regrets."
"...Hmm. These words have given me some new insights. Perhaps for some patients who have no worries, this attitude is exactly what they need."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhu believed that she was not lying, but he still looked at Xingqiu who came with her.
"By the way, if I heard correctly just now, it was Master Xingqiu who sent Miss Yunchang to Bubulu, right? Thank you so much. Although it is afternoon now, the heat outside is very strong. If Miss Yunchang really came alone, I am afraid she would get even worse."
His smile didn't seem fake, and his tone was genuine.
"But your father asked you to bring Miss Yunshang here?"
"Ah? It wasn't my father's request. We just happened to meet on the road. I didn't know Yun Shang before."
"Oh? If that's the case, then the two of you are really destined to be together—"
After Bai Zhu said this with emotion, Xingqiu's curiosity was obviously aroused and he immediately asked.
"It's true that Yun Shang and I hit it off right away, but why did Mr. Bai say that? Could this matter be related to my father?"
"No, since your father has never said anything, I won't dare to gossip about it. I hope Master Xingqiu will forgive me."
Baizhu's stubborn attitude immediately made Xingqiu so angry that he wanted to bite him.
More importantly, he came to his side and his fake smile deepened.
"Okay, it's getting late. There's still some sweet soup in the medicine room to relieve the heat. I'll ask Ah Gui to bring it to you later. As for Miss Yunshang, I'll take her to the inner room to diagnose her condition. Please rest assured, Master Xingqiu."
Who would feel relieved after hearing what you said?!
Xingqiu, as if facing a great enemy!
Chapter 7: Look at the Legs
"Well, how about letting me go in with you..."
As soon as he said this, Xingqiu felt embarrassed for his offensive behavior. He hadn't even asked for the other person's opinion, and didn't know the patient's condition, but he said such rude words without knowing the limits. Even if he was kicked out the next moment, it would be his own fault, right?
As expected, before Yun Chang could answer, Bai Zhu revealed a serious expression of a doctor.
"That won't do, Master Xingqiu. Although I know you may be worried because of your concern, as a doctor, I must abide by the rules of protecting the patient's privacy."
This is a temporary system that does not need to be explained and should be followed.
Not to mention that even if Bai Zhu agrees, the opinions of the parties involved must be sought. How can he just do whatever he wants?
In his opinion, even though the little girl Yunshang, who used to be self-deprecating and shy, had undergone major positive changes recently, she was still weak by nature and would never agree to such a thing.
In order not to embarrass her, he, as a doctor, naturally refused on her behalf.
However, the next moment after he finished speaking, Yun Shang spoke.
"But if the patient agrees, it should be fine, right?"
"—!"
Xingqiu immediately showed an expression of surprise and emotion, while Bai Zhu frowned slightly, trying to guess what the other person was thinking.
It was clear from previous questioning that Master Xingqiu did not know about Miss Yunshang's existence, and it was very likely that his family had not mentioned this marriage. Even he was the one who was told about this by the head of the Chamber of Commerce in private, asking him to help with the girl's psychological preparation when he was free, so he knew about this "verbal" marriage.
So, since this was the first time they met, why did Miss Yunshang have such a big change?
Even if it's love at first sight, based on the shy and delicate mind of a girl, you wouldn't want your bad side to be known by the person you like and make him or her worry about you, right?
Not to mention, he was not sure he could cure Miss Yunshang's strange disease even now. And if she couldn't be cured of her natural weakness, whether she could live to adulthood was uncertain. Under such circumstances, he really couldn't understand why she would agree to let Master Xingqiu accompany her.
As a last resort, Bai Zhu had to play the villain again.
"I'm sorry. Miss Yunshang, although in principle the patient has the right to decide who will accompany him to the consultation, you and Master Xingqiu should only be acquaintances, right?"
He mentioned this without any hesitation, which made Xingqiu, who was originally very happy, show a little hesitation.
Although what Mr. Bai said was unpleasant to hear, it was indeed the truth.
In this situation, if I directly proposed that I want to be with her, wouldn't I be considered as someone with ulterior motives?
However, Yun Chang, who answered in an unconfident manner, spoke in a more determined tone.
"Although we have only met once, Xingqiu is different from others. He is my benefactor."
"Um, benefactor?"
Not to mention Baizhu, even Agui was dumbfounded.
Changsheng, who was coiled on Baishu, couldn't help but say, "Stop for a moment, kid, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Benefactor - it is a respectful title for someone who has done a favor to you. Master Xingqiu has indeed done me a favor, and there is nothing wrong with me addressing him as such."
The girl's persistence forced Bai Zhu to revise his previous guess. Although it might be the first time the two met, who knows what the fate between people is like?
No contract can measure the weight of feelings, and there is no reason for a doctor to stop a patient from seeking an antidote.
What is poison to one person may be honey to another. To some people, a poison that is completely harmful may be a life-saving medicine to others. This is also true in pharmacology.
So, should we stop others from pursuing something that people like us dare not desire?
Not to mention that these two children were also considered... an unfinished marriage. If I, an outsider, continued to stop it, it would seem that I had ill intentions.
"Since Miss Yunshang has made such a strong request, I can't say anything more. However, I hope Master Xingqiu will keep a sense of propriety in mind and remember what can and cannot be said."
"Please rest assured. I understand that other people's secrets should not be disclosed."
Perhaps in order to repay Yunchang's trust, Xingqiu is now just about to take the girl to become sworn brothers and acknowledge her as his half-sister.
"If Mr. Bai still doesn't believe me, we can sign a contract. If I break this oath, I will be punished by the Rock Eater."
"No need for that. Although you are the young master of a merchant family and more mature than your peers, your understanding of contracts is too superficial after all. The so-called punishment of eating rocks is not a physical punishment, but a heavy feeling in the depths of the soul. There is no cure in the world."
Bai Shu had naturally been secretly invited to the home of such a big businessman who had breached the contract, just to ask him to give him a remedy to ease the heaviness in his heart. However, that was a contract drawn up by Emperor Yanwang, and even a tiny bit of the emperor's divine power could not be broken by an ordinary mortal.
Even if it is possible, I am afraid that the Emperor will be able to follow his intuition and increase the strength of the contract, making him regret it.
Therefore, after confirming that the other party was determined to bear such a secret, Bai Shu did not say anything more, but personally pushed Yun Shang into the inner room. Changsheng was also responsible for lifting the curtain when passing through the door, just like Bai Shu's third hand.
The furnishings in the inner room are not much different from those outside, but there are more scattered prescriptions. Apart from that, there are simple tables and chairs, which are just enough for seeing a doctor.
Baizhu's diagnosis, or the diagnosis of most doctors in Liyue, all follow this routine: look, smell, ask, and palpate.
Look, observe the complexion; smell, listen to the sound; ask, inquire about the symptoms; palpate, feel the pulse. Together, they are called the Four Diagnosis:
He was quite familiar with the girl's illness, and Yun Shang was almost familiar with the process.
After answering Bai Zhu's questions as usual, Yun Shang entered a stage that she was quite resistant to.
Mr. Bai will help massage her legs, which not only promotes blood circulation, but also prevents muscles from atrophy due to long-term disuse.
Although the other party obviously had no intention of offending, what he was doing was a serious massage process of kneading and kneading.
But in the final analysis, Bai Zhu did not hide the fact that he had ulterior motives, so who could really be at ease?
Not to mention Mr. Bai, even Yunshang, who was still Youya, felt a little uncomfortable when she was massaged by Youla.
Even though she tried her best to cooperate with Sister Eula at that time, and even lied a little, saying that she seemed to have some feelings...
But in terms of relationship, Sister Eula said that she was not her biological sister, but she was closer than her biological sister. And Mr. Bai, a feminine big brother, always made people feel that he was not treating the girl's soft body, but a piece of fish on a chopping board, or materials on a research table.
Although this description makes the other party seem more professional, Yun Shang is too pretentious. This is one of the reasons why she asked Xingqiu to come and accompany her.
only--
When she was asked to lift up her skirt and expose her calves, Yun Shang still felt inexplicably ashamed.
Especially Xingqiu's dazed look, which always made people feel even more embarrassed.
Chapter 8 Walnut I'm here~
When Bai Shu saw the girl's shy expression, he relaxed a lot. It was good that she was still shy. At least she wouldn't cause any death someday.
Fortunately, the marriage age in Liyue, or the entire continent of Teyvat, varies from country to country, but is generally on the early side.
Giving birth too early can easily result in the death of both the pregnant woman and the child. If it weren't for the fact that many doctors have been looking for methods since ancient times, and it is now possible to deliver babies more safely and ensure the health of the mother, otherwise the death of either of them would be a complex problem that every country would have to worry about.
Because he is a doctor, Bai Zhu is very clear that this is not a joke. If one day he really encounters a girl as beautiful as gold paper with a big belly, he is afraid that he will die first.
While helping her massage her calves, Bai Shu did not forget to let Changsheng talk to the girl.
In fact, many girls of her age are like this. They are not used to being touched by strange adults, not to mention the calves which are more shy for girls. In the early years when Liyue was still ancient, unmarried girls were not allowed to have their legs touched by outsiders, let alone by others.
Basically, she can only stay in her own room until she is married by her husband's family, and then she will gradually become active in public.
"So, all you came here to show your kindness, and in the end, he just helped you return the book?"
Changsheng stuck out his tongue, feeling very worried about the girl's naive trust in him.
"There are few kind people in the world. Miss Yunshang, you are so easily trusted by others. Be careful of disasters in the future."
"But Xingqiu is not like that, so no matter if I will make mistakes in the future, I definitely did the right thing this time."
Before she teased Xingqiu, Yunchang would usually not call herself a young lady. It would be more accurate to say that she was really shy now that she thought about it.
Although I am not an ancient person, it does not seem out of place for me to speak in such flowery terms.
On the contrary, I feel like I'm used to it.
Whether this was the help left by the little Yunshang in the past, or whether she was just a little fox who was good at disguising and deceiving people by nature, it was really unknown to outsiders.
Changsheng, who was not satisfied with her answer, crossed his body in distress, as if thinking about how to make things clear.
