"Biting everything is a problem, it needs to be treated!"

A voice from Chen Mu, which was still quite sincere, echoed down the corridor of the school hospital.

As soon as the words fell.

It was met with a burst of laughter from the intern doctors.

If it were any other patient, no matter how funny the remark, the interns would have tried to hold back.

But this was Wang Shengnan...

Just now, when Wang Shengnan came to the school hospital holding a Cabbage Snake and asked for help, she really startled this group of people.

Even so.

With the mindset of fulfilling a doctor’s duty to any patient.

A few lab-coated interns who feared snakes still mustered the courage to attend to Wang Shengnan.

While treating Wang Shengnan’s wound, the only request the interns had was for her to control the Cabbage Snake in her hand.

Either find a container to put the snake in.

Hand it over to Hai City University security, or hold it tightly and take it away herself later.

At that moment.

Wang Shengnan chose to take the Cabbage Snake away herself.

Rounding it up.

The snake was practically her trophy.

She wanted to take it to a pet store to find a caring person to adopt it.

Hearing Wang Shengnan’s reasoning, although most of the interns couldn’t comprehend her peculiar mindset,

when facing her request, no one objected.

They all silently approved of her choice.

And so.

Wang Shengnan held onto the Cabbage Snake while the interns helped treat her wound.

Listening to their account.

Chen Mu was still somewhat puzzled, "But, the moment I opened the door, the snake was obviously moving freely. You said you’d hold it tight; how did it manage to slip away suddenly?"

Faced with Chen Mu’s questioning.

The interns, one by one.

All showed expressions of deep resignation.

The intern who initially spoke to Chen Mu bitterly replied, "I can only say everything happened too coincidentally..."

"Just as my colleagues were treating Wang Shengnan’s wound, the school hospital erupted into chaos."

Chen Mu was intrigued: "What sparked the commotion?"

—

"Now I get why Dr. Chen says the school hospital is an information hub. Mostly because Dr. Chen himself is such a gossip!"

"Exactly! As a campus doctor, is it really appropriate for Dr. Chen to be like this?"

"I don’t know if it’s okay for Dr. Chen, but I know if there’s gossip I haven’t caught wind of, I’d act even more dramatically than Dr. Chen does now..."

"My friend called me for dinner; I said it was too hot. He mentioned someone we know was arguing at a restaurant, and I was out the door in a minute."

"Alright, alright! So you’re keen on familiar gossip too?"

"What’s the big deal? My parents once had a fight outside discussing a divorce. Woken up, I started eavesdropping on their old grievances. It was quite entertaining!"

"Yikes! What a dutiful child you are!"

"I’ve already got my sunflower seeds ready, waiting to munch on the gossip!"

"..."

—

The corner of the intern’s mouth twitched.

Physically and mentally exhausted.

To be honest.

In the few days at Hai City University, the number of gossips he’s encountered...

Has been more thrilling than his past decade or two combined.

Intern: "Here’s what happened, many students found that for minor issues like menstrual regulation, they didn’t need to bother Dr. Chen. We interns could help, so they started coming to the school hospital for us to treat their menstrual pain."

Chen Mu nodded: "I’m aware, and for you, it’s a good thing."

There are endless pulses to feel.

Even if the workload might be slightly heavy.

But...

For these interns, it’s certainly a good opportunity.

The progress of every budding traditional Chinese medicine doctor requires a lot of case studies.

Or in other words, cases aren’t always necessary.

They just need more chances to feel people’s pulse, and they can learn a lot from it.

On one hand...

Nowadays, more or less, everyone has minor health issues.

On the other hand...

They also need to start from scratch to learn pulse diagnosis.

Those who’ve never studied traditional Chinese medicine might see a TCM practitioner lightly touching their wrist.

And then tell them precisely how many films they’ve watched or how often they’ve interacted with their right hand siblings this month.

In such cases.

Patients often can’t control their curiosity.

Imitating how the TCM doctor diagnoses them.

To take their own pulse.

The result is they can only feel their pulse beating.

Nothing more.

Novice TCM practitioners who have learned the theories but haven’t started diagnosing patients usually are only slightly above this level.

Don’t be fooled thinking that helping girls with menstrual pain is no big deal, and offers little to learn.

But in this process.

These interns often gain full experience of.

The differences in pulse among various patients.

The intern nodded as well: "Dr. Chen, we understand this very clearly."

"Although the work at Hai City University is exhausting every day, we all genuinely feel we’re advancing."

"What I was saying is loosely related to treating menstrual pain for those two girls."

"Those two girls, you see, are roommates from the same dorm, visiting the school hospital together."

"But just as one finished, while waiting for her roommate, she happened to notice another guy, bringing his ’girlfriend’ in to see the doctor for menstrual pain as well."

Chen Mu: "!!!"

As an experienced gossiper.

Chen Mu could feel the unusual nature of the situation from just that bit.

His eyes gleamed as he responded: "Is this guy two-timing?!"

This kind of situation.

He hadn’t encountered much at the school.

But in the past at the hospital’s ER, he’d seen plenty of quirky events.

Hearing Chen Mu’s response, the intern nodded. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

But after a brief pause for thought.

The intern shook his head and continued: "Yes, but also no!"

"To be precise, this guy is seeing three people; those two roommates are both his girlfriends."

"And the two girls were entirely unaware that their boyfriend was the same guy."

"The incident caused quite a stir, and the student’s advisor came to the school hospital to take the people involved away. Word is, the school will step in to investigate and possibly discipline."

Chen Mu nodded: "That’s something our school manages. Although it’s not illegal since they’re not married, it is a moral failing. The school’s involvement in the investigation is quite normal..."

The intern sighed: "We’re still too naive. While we were all watching the drama unfold, we failed to notice that Wang Shengnan was also among those watching..."
