Chapter 54 Let's Go to My House
"I've had enough of suddenly losing consciousness without knowing when; I don't want to wait any longer. If you would help me with acupuncture and massage, let's do it today," Liu Jiayao said through gritted teeth, bravely looking up at Ge Dongxu, no longer trembling and lowering her head as before.
"Dr. Ge, Miss Liu is a good person. She has sponsored many children in the mountains to enable them to have an education. For this reason, you shouldn't let Miss Liu's condition be delayed any further. Besides, a doctor's duty is parental, and there's no issue of convenience. Personally, I trust in your unique massage techniques even more," said Tang Yiyuan, seeing that Ge Dongxu was still somewhat hesitant, and began to persuade him after looking back at Liu Jiayao.
"In that case, I can only offend." With even a young lady not minding and Tang Yiyuan saying such, Ge Dongxu really had no reason to refuse.
Particularly when Tang Yiyuan mentioned that Liu Jiayao had also sponsored many children in the mountains, Ge Dongxu felt even more respect.
"It's not that you are offending me, but I should thank you! Thank you, Dr. Ge!" Liu Jiayao said, bowing deeply to Ge Dongxu.
As she bowed, her neckline gaped slightly, revealing a flash of porcelain-white skin, which both excited and tormented the young Ge Dongxu inwardly.
But with the words already spoken, he had no way to take them back. Moreover, Tang Yiyuan's words were not wrong; the best cure for the condition was indeed acupuncture and massage. Of course, this kind of massage and acupuncture would definitely consume a large amount of Ge Dongxu's True Qi, as his so-called unique method involved manipulating Qi to administer acupuncture and massage to help clear the Meridians. He just found it inconvenient to reveal that he utilized True Qi.
"I do have a private room here. Miss Liu, would you prefer having Dr. Ge perform the acupuncture and massage here, or would you like to find another place?" seeing the two had made their decision, Tang Yiyuan asked.
"Dr. Ge, could I invite you to come to my house to give me the acupuncture and massage?" Liu Jiayao asked Ge Dongxu instead of replying to Tang Yiyuan.
Women often tend to have a bit of cleanliness obsession, especially those like Liu Jiayao who come from good families. Under the premise of needing to remove all her clothing, naturally, if given a choice, she would prefer it to be done at home. Moreover, this way she could feel more at ease and relaxed.
"I'm the same anywhere, just choose wherever you feel more relaxed," Ge Dongxu replied.
"Then let's go to my house," Liu Jiayao said, then turned to Tang Yiyuan and added gratefully, "Professor Tang, I really owe you a huge thanks. Today is not convenient, but I'll make sure to visit you another day to express my gratitude."
"Miss Liu, you're being too polite. I didn't really do much. In fact, I might have caused you some trouble," Tang Yiyuan replied.
"Professor Tang, please don't say that; my condition is already difficult to treat as it is," Liu Jiayao hastily responded.
"For us maybe, but not for Dr. Ge," Tang Yiyuan said self-deprecatingly.
"Professor Tang, your medical skills are very impressive. It's just, just… never mind. I'll leave my address; you can write to me if there's anything, but it's best not to visit me. My parents still want me to study hard and get into a good university," Ge Dongxu initially wanted to compliment Tang Yiyuan, but felt it seemed a bit disingenuous, as in his eyes, Tang Yiyuan's medical skills were at most above average. So, halfway through, he simply picked up a pen and paper and left his school and class for Tang Yiyuan.
That morning on the train, Tang Yiyuan had wanted his contact information, but at that time Ge Dongxu was still wary of him and could not fully trust him. Now, discovering that although Tang Yiyuan's medical skills were not impressive, he was indeed a decent person, a true benevolent doctor, he decided to leave his contact information.
Fortunately, no one knew what Ge Dongxu was thinking at the time; otherwise, if someone found out a young man dared to secretly criticize Tang Yiyuan's medical skills, they'd surely jump up and scold him angrily.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tang Yiyuan never expected that after having been unable to ask for Ge Dongxu's contact information on the train earlier, and now seeing his medical skills becoming even more miraculous, hardly daring to hope anymore, Ge Dongxu would actually take the initiative to leave his contact information. Although he said it was best not to seek him out, he mentioned that it was possible to write letters, which meant that Ge Dongxu didn't mind if he reached out for advice when in trouble.
This was an unexpected joy for Tang Yiyuan. He quickly took the paper with Ge Dongxu's contact information and carefully put it away, saying, "Dr. Ge, rest assured, I will absolutely not disturb you unless absolutely necessary. Even if I really need something, I will seek you out privately and will definitely not alert anyone else."
This time, Tang Yiyuan, an elderly professor and expert, used honorifics when addressing Ge Dongxu. This was very rare in Jiangnan Province. Because people in the South are different from people in the North, due to custom, Southerners seldom use the polite form "you" and generally just use "you", even toward elders on regular occasions. It is only when they deliberately want to express respect that they use the word "you". For example, when subordinates want to flatter their leaders, they will deliberately use "you", or sometimes when dealing with Northerners, who often say "you", Southerners also have to follow suit, otherwise, it would seem arrogant. In fact, when Southerners say "you", it doesn't mean disrespect.
At this time, Tang Yiyuan's use of "you" was obviously intended to express his respect for Ge Dongxu, hoping to seek his advice when facing future difficulties.
"Then it's settled! I took a day off to come to the Provincial Capital today and must rush back to Changxi County before class tomorrow morning, so I won't delay any longer. If there's anything in the future, we can contact through letters." Having heard Tang Yiyuan say this, Ge Dongxu also felt completely relieved, exchanged a few more words, then left the clinic with Liu Jiayao.
Tang Yiyuan initially wanted to see them out, but Ge Dongxu declined. Knowing Ge Dongxu's character, Tang Yiyuan did not insist.
Liu Jiayao and Ge Dongxu left the specialist clinic together and went downstairs.
Downstairs was the registration hall, where a bold and vigorous young woman, about the same age as Liu Jiayao, was sitting. Seeing Liu Jiayao come down, she quickly stood up and approached her.
"Ms. Liu, are you leaving?" the woman greeted as she approached. Her eyes skeptically scanned Ge Dongxu a few times, unsure of who this plainly dressed young man was, wondering why he was with her boss.

"Yes. Dongxu, this is my driver, Li Min. Li Min, this is my friend Ge Dongxu. You can call him Mr. Ge," Liu Jiayao nodded, then said.
This was an agreement the two had privately made after leaving the specialist clinic. This form of address was mainly because Ge Dongxu did not want to draw too much attention to himself. After all, being a sixteen-year-old doctor, it would be hard not to attract others' attention.
Upon hearing this, Li Min's eyes showed a flash of shock, but she quickly dismissed it.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy called a mister?
Of course, Li Min was just a driver. Whatever her boss said, she would follow; thinking to herself was enough, and she wouldn't voice her thoughts.
