Chapter 36: Brain and Ear Health

Shao Bai has a calm personality and treats students seriously and responsibly. No matter what situation he encounters, he can make arrangements in an orderly manner.

He listened to Ruogu's words and said calmly, "Then take the Danggui Niantong Decoction to treat it. It's better than randomly applying hormone ointment on the skin. What do you think?"

He turned to look at the boy, his eyes sharp and deep. The boy lowered his head involuntarily, not daring to look at him, and mumbled:
"I'm fine with it. I'll just listen to the instructor... But... it's not convenient to make medicine in the dormitory, and I don't know how to do it..."

His last sentence sounded a little lacking in confidence. Shao Bai pondered for a moment, then looked at Ruogu and said, "I smell the smell of Chinese medicine boiling in your room. Do you also provide services to boil medicine for patients?"

Chen Ruogu told the truth: "Some patients really don't find it convenient to boil the medicine. After we boil it, they come and get it themselves."

Shao Bai said decisively: "Then I'll ask you to make the medicine for my students. I can come and get the medicine every day."

Chen Ruogu was not very willing to take this job, but considering the inconveniences for students at school, she couldn't bear to refuse and only reminded: "Don't drink alcohol or eat spicy food while taking the medicine."

The boy nodded hurriedly, then looked at Shao Bai and said, "Then if the counselor is alright, I'll go back to school first?"

Shao Bai glanced at Ruogu and said, "I'll send him out first. I have a few words to say to him. I'll be back to pay the fee later."

Chen Ruogu nodded in agreement. Shao Bai came too early and Jishiditang was not cleaned up yet, so she had to wipe the dust off the examination table.

Shao Bai straightened his back and walked out with steady steps. The boy followed him timidly. The two of them stood at the bus stop. Shao Bai said calmly, "You still have professional classes to attend in the morning. Don't think about skipping classes. I will ask your class monitor."

The boy said with a sad face: "Counselor, I'm sick... You don't have to stare at me so closely, right?"

Shao Bai sneered, "I can guess what you are thinking even with my eyes closed, don't try to play tricks on me."

The boy lowered his head, feeling extremely unhappy. He thought to himself, "I can see what you are thinking..."

He was too timid to say it out loud, so he could only agree honestly, "The No. 8 bus is here, I'll get on first..."

Shao Bai accompanied him and asked him if he had any coins. The boy took out two from his pocket and quickly squeezed onto the bus. Shao Bai waited until the bus had gone far away before turning around and walking towards Jishidiang.

Except for the shops selling breakfast, all other shops around Jishidiang were closed. Shao Bai arrived a little too early. He also wanted to chat more with Ruogu, but if he arrived late, he was afraid that she would not be available.

Chen Ruogu was bending over and gently wiping the table. She was working very attentively, not leaving out any corner.

Hearing the footsteps, Chen Ruogu looked up at him and subconsciously asked, "Don't you have to go to school?"

Shao Bai was in a good mood and shook his head and said, "I don't have classes today, so I came back to rest. My mom said you've been very busy recently."

Chen Ruogu put down the rag in his hand and chuckled, "I'm used to this pace of life. It's busy and fulfilling, which is good."

Shao Bai's eyebrows were filled with smiles, and he said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is to live happily. The realization of self-worth cannot be measured by money."

Ruogu agreed with what he said. She liked her current life and was also satisfied with her mental state. In short, everything was developing in the direction she expected.

Shao Bai looked at her face, unable to suppress his emotions, he hesitated and said:

"The incident involving Yu Yuan caused a lot of controversy some time ago. You... weren't hurt, were you?"

Ruogu's face was full of questions when she heard this. She stared at him intently, as if she wanted to see through his heart.

Shao Bai hurriedly explained, "There are only two public figures with the last name Yu, and only Yu Yuan is the right age for you. Plus, I've seen He Hui's face in the entertainment news, so it's not hard to guess."

Chen Ruogu's eyebrows slightly raised, and she exuded a vigilant aura. She said sharply, "Please don't spread this matter. Huaixi and I have just settled down, and we don't want any major changes."

Shao Bai was a little hurt and said, "Don't you know what kind of person I am? How could I possibly harm you? If you can use me, just give me a call. Just don't let yourself suffer any loss. I..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Teacher Gao's voice suddenly rang out.

"Shao Bai? What are you doing here?"

Shao Bai's eyes still contained longing and sadness that he had not yet recovered. He subconsciously lowered his head and pretended to be calm, saying, "I brought my students to Ruogu for treatment... The condition is a bit complicated..."

After he said this, he regained some confidence and raised his head slightly. Teacher Gao's eyes were full of scrutiny. She said in an ambiguous tone:
"You only want to cause trouble for Ruogu. Come and help me carry the vegetables. I bought too many vegetables today. They are really heavy."

Teacher Gao was used to buying groceries and sending them home after the morning reading class, so she would pass by here every day. Shao Bai smiled at Ruogu and said, "Then I'll come to get the medicine in the evening. I'm sorry to bother you with this."

Ruogu said politely, "Don't take it to heart if it's just a matter of convenience."

He nodded slightly and turned to go out, walked to Teacher Gao, stretched out his broad palm to take the dish from her hand, and Teacher Gao smiled at Ruogu and said, "Then you are busy, we will go back first."

Chen Ruogu came out to see her off, and only turned back after seeing them go far away.

Teacher Gao is shrewd and worldly-wise with a cool head. He wants to see through Shao Bai's mind and provide him with appropriate advice.

The mother and son spoke nothing along the way. After they walked through the corridor and entered the old house where Teacher Gao lived alone, Shao Bai changed his shoes and carried the dishes in his hand into the kitchen. Teacher Gao was sitting upright on the leather sofa.

The atmosphere at home is like a depressing mountain, making it hard to breathe.

Shao Bai walked up to Teacher Gao and stood still, with his hands in his pockets, and said expressionlessly, "Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to lecture me like you would a student."

Teacher Gao's eyes were flashing with anger, and her nostrils were flaring. She was obviously so angry that she couldn't control herself. She picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Shao Bai, saying angrily:
"Why are you looking at Ruogu with such passionate eyes? Don't you know that she is a married woman? Her daughter is already so old... How dare you... What have you been doing so far?"

Shao Bai listened to her words and looked at her expression, and suddenly he felt a strong sense of suffocation, as if a thick, wet towel was tightly wrapped around his throat, making it impossible for him to breathe. Every struggle was like trying to break free from the quagmire.

His face was full of patience, his eyes revealed sadness, and he roared:

"You're so ridiculous. You controlled me so tightly during those years that I didn't even have basic freedom. How could I like her? If we were together at the age of first love, would you let her go?"

He was like a madman, complaining angrily:

"You even threatened and talked to the female classmates who were a little close to me. How could I dare to get close to Ruogu? You are Teacher Gao who brought authority back home. You are not a mother at all..."

An expression of disbelief flashed across Teacher Gao's face. Her body trembled like a leaf in the wind. She opened her mouth, but it took a long time for her to make a sound.

"You returned to China... just because... Ruogu came back..." Shao Bai wiped his face and said frankly:

"Nian Shao Mu Ai... She was the only one in my heart from the beginning to the end. I swore not to return to China until the day she got married. But when I heard her voice, I couldn't control my desire in my heart... My marriage with my ex-wife was calculated. I'm very happy that she took the initiative to divorce... So, do you understand?"

Teacher Gao never knew what her son was thinking. When she noticed something was wrong between the two many years ago, she directly cut off their chance to meet. She thought that the vague feelings of adolescence should not be taken seriously...

She said with great sorrow: "Ruogu is married, and she has no intention of getting a divorce. You should be able to see that..."

Shao Bai's seemingly calm appearance concealed paranoia and stubbornness. He said with a straight face:

"Whether she wants to get a divorce is her business. I don't want to interfere in her marriage. It's enough for me to see her occasionally. Don't even think about introducing me to someone. I have no plans to get married."

After hearing this, Teacher Gao felt as if all his energy had been drained away.

She couldn't understand what was wrong with disciplining her son strictly and hoping that he would focus on his studies, and why he blamed her so much.

Shao Bai looked at the old house and felt depressed everywhere. He said expressionlessly: "I still have work to do, so I'll leave first. Call me if you have anything."

He left without any burden, but the sound of his footsteps was like a huge rock hitting the sea, stirring up thousands of waves. Teacher Gao could only watch him go, unable to stop him...

What they don't know is that although Ruogu looks gentle, she has a sharp knife hidden in her heart, and she will show no mercy when it comes to cutting...

Although Wanling is a small city, it has developed information technology, and the title of the Silver Needle Lady is famous enough to attract many people to Jishidiang to see her.

Jishiditang was not spacious to begin with, and now it was packed with people. No matter if they were sick or not, they all gathered around Ruogu. He Hui was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so he called Xie Bin to bring people to control the situation. He took the loudspeaker borrowed from the shop next door and shouted loudly:
"Please don't squeeze in anymore. The first 30 people who get number tickets should line up for treatment. The rest who don't get number tickets please come back tomorrow..."

However, his shouting at the top of his lungs was of no use, as people continued to squeeze in.

Originally, Ruogu only planned to issue ten number plates, but the fans kept begging and telling him how serious their illnesses were, so Ruogu had no choice but to issue twenty more.

The fact is, these people were not sick at all, they came with their number tags to take photos with her.

Some people even shamelessly wanted to reach out and touch her face, just to see if her facial features were natural and she hadn't had any plastic surgery.

If it weren't for Chi Zhengzheng and Sister Yang's close protection, she would have suffered so much injustice. After confirming that the girl sitting opposite her was not sick, Chen Ruogu simply gave up and left.

"Hey~ why did you leave?"

"It's not my turn to take pictures yet, what are you doing..."

"Silver Needle Lady, come out quickly... We have come all the way here just to see you, please come out quickly."

"That's right, that's right, we are all your fans, what's your attitude..."

After Chen Ruogu left, she stood at the corner of the stairs and listened to the crowd's arrogant shouting. She regretted becoming an internet celebrity. If Jishidiang was like this every day in the future, she might have to consider closing it down.

Ruogu was not the type to hide when encountering trouble. As the noise grew louder, she took a deep breath, turned around and went back. There was silence for a moment when she appeared again.

Chen Ruogu's eyes were stern and her expression was extremely serious. She said loudly:
“The purpose of my videos is to get to know more about difficult and complicated diseases, not to promote products as you think.

I will never be able to sell goods through live streaming in my life, you can rest assured about that.

I am just an ordinary doctor. I don’t have any supernatural powers. You have seen me, so don’t come to see me unless you are sick.

Everyone is very busy, don't waste time staying here, let's all go."

While everyone was stunned, He Hui, together with Xie Bin and others, pushed everyone out, leaving only a small door for guarding. Chi Zhengzheng went to help, her bun was crooked, and she looked frightened.

Chen Ruogu didn't have the energy to stay downstairs. She just wanted to go back to her room and be quiet. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard a clear male voice.

"Doctor Chen... I'm here to bring my girlfriend to see a doctor... She can't hear anything anymore. I have a number plate. We are real patients..."

Chen Ruogu paused slightly. She saw that the man's clothes were wrinkled and he didn't even bother to straighten his glasses. He looked at her eagerly with pleading eyes.

Chen Ruogu sighed, but she couldn't harden her heart. She said tiredly, "Bring the patient in."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jun thanked him repeatedly with gratitude. He found his girlfriend Xia Fei from the crowd, took her hand and squeezed in with difficulty.

Seeing the two of them enter Jishidiang, the others became restless again.

Xie Bin simply locked the door to block out the outside noise. Xia Fei looked a little confused. She asked Xu Jun, "Can this Doctor Chen really cure my disease?"

Because she was deaf, her voice was a little loud. Xu Jun smiled awkwardly at Chen Ruogu, and then said to Xia Fei word by word: "Doctor Chen... your medical skills... are very powerful... he can definitely cure it."

Xia Fei pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly. From her expression, she didn't hold much hope. Chen Ruogu motioned for them to sit down.

Xu Jun thought of bringing her here to watch the video of Ruogu saving people after he saw it online. He explained softly:
"Doctor Chen, my girlfriend suddenly developed tinnitus two years ago. I took her to the hospital but they couldn't find out what was wrong with her. At the beginning of this year, she developed deafness.

Because of her hearing problem, my family is very opposed to this marriage, so I would like to ask you to help us."

Xu Jun spoke sincerely, and it was obvious that he loved Xia Fei very much. Facing a sincere and devoted man, Chen Ruogu felt much more relaxed. She said calmly and calmly:

"Hearing depends on the function of internal organs. I have to feel your pulse first to know if it can be cured."

Xu Jun hurriedly lifted Xia Fei's wrist and placed it on the pulse pillow. Xia Fei cooperated very well. She smiled at Ruogu and said, "Thank you for troubling Doctor Chen."

Chen Ruogu nodded slightly, and then began to feel the pulse. After carefully feeling the changes in the pulse, she said gently: "Your girlfriend's brain is out of order, and her hearing is blocked. You can use the brain-awakening and ear-opening acupuncture method to wake up the brain, regulate the mind, and open the ears to restore her hearing."

Xu Jun had been to so many hospitals, but this was the first time he heard a doctor clearly tell him which treatment method to use. He said excitedly:

"Doctor Chen, as long as you are willing to give my girlfriend acupuncture treatment, I am willing to spend any amount of money. Just name your price."

He showed an expression of being slaughtered. Chen Ruogu felt that his words were not right and asked, "Has anyone told you that my fees are very high?"

My head hurts. I need an injection to wake it up...
