The Dean of Medicine
Lin Yi parked his car in front of Scholar Sea Bookstore, surprised that they'd pass by Songshan First High School on the way. The school was only one stop away from the bookstore, and he'd be able to walk back to school after buying the books.
Lin Yi paid the driver and walked into Scholar Sea Bookstore. He made a beeline for the medical section after asking the salesperson at the door for directions.
There weren't many people in the bookstore at this hour, and even fewer in the medical section. There was only an old man who looked like a pedant flipping through some books in front of a bookshelf.
Lin Yi followed the labels on the shelf and found the book he was looking for. There were a couple of uncommon herbs in there, and Lin Yi wanted to confirm them. Huaijun's internal injuries were complicated, and his bodily functions had been completely messed up under the effects of the painkillers. He didn't know why he wasn't dead yet, but there had to be a master taking care of his body. After all, Huaijun's family was a force to be reckoned with.
"You like Eastern medicine, young man?" He didn't know when, but the old man had walked up to Lin Yi, looking at the book in Lin Yi's hands as he asked.
"I've done some research." Lin Yi smiled and nodded at the old man.
"Are you a student from a medical university nearby, young man?" The old man didn't seem like he was going to let the matter drop.
"No, I'm a student from Songshan First High School." Lin Yi replied casually. He didn't dislike the old man at all- he could tell that the old man was the academic type. Lin Yi wouldn't have bothered to say a word to the old man if he were the type of person who'd use conversation to achieve his goals.
"Oh? A high school student? " The old man was a little taken aback by Lin Yi's words. There were very few young people who were interested in Eastern medicine these days! There were some students from medical universities who'd come to the bookstore to look up information for exams, but they didn't have much interest in Eastern medicine. He'd been looking for a disciple to inherit his legacy all these years, but to no avail. He didn't expect to meet a high school student who was interested in traditional Chinese medicine in the bookstore.
There were quite a lot of students in the Medical College who studied traditional Chinese medicine, but most of them were inclined to western medicine. They just wanted to broaden their knowledge by studying traditional Chinese medicine. They never thought about making traditional Chinese medicine their future career and research direction, which made Guan Xuemin very disappointed.
To inherit his legacy, he must first be interested in TCM. If he felt that Western Medicine was better than TCM, how could he talk about inheriting his legacy?
"Young man, which do you think is better, Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine?" Guan Xuemin couldn't help but ask.
"They all have their own strengths, but I'm more inclined towards Chinese medicine." Lin Yi closed the book in his hand and picked up another book next to it. He found the information he wanted and started reading. "Western medicine treats the symptoms while Chinese medicine treats the root cause. In some cases, only by treating the symptoms can the root cause be cured. However, it's not a good thing to simply treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
Although Lin Yi's words were a bit ambiguous, they truly hit the nail on the head! He wasn't a die-hard Traditional Chinese Medicine fan. On the contrary, he had a deep understanding of western medicine. Both had their own strengths and weaknesses. Only by learning from each other could they save the world.
"Young man, are you interested in applying to Medical College?" Guan Xuemin's love for talent was aroused. The more he looked at Lin Yi, the more he liked him.
"This … I haven't thought about it yet … It depends on my family." Lin Yi indeed hadn't thought about it yet. It wasn't up to him to decide which university to apply to, it was up to his old man and Chu Pengzhan. If he was fired during this period of time, he wouldn't even be able to think about going to university. He would just have to go back to the mountains.
"I see …" Guan Xuemin was a little disappointed after hearing Lin Yi's words, but he still didn't give up. He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yi. "Young man, this is my business card. You can go back and talk to your parents about it. If you are interested in studying medicine, I can help you with the recommendation procedures. I still have this little bit of authority."
Lin Yi heard Guan Xuemin's words and was a little surprised when he received the business card.
The dean of Songshan Medical University's School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guan Xuemin.
After seeing Guan Xuemin's identity, Lin Yi didn't doubt his words anymore. Not to mention the dean of a university, even a dean of a faculty in a school had a lot of authority.
"Thank you." Although Lin Yi didn't have plans to study medicine, he still took the business card politely.
"Of course, if you have any questions about Traditional Chinese Medicine, you can call me," Guan Xuemin said. Although he didn't achieve his goal, Guan Xuemin still hoped that Lin Yi would contact him more often.
"Okay, Dean Guan." Lin Yi nodded.
Guan Xuemin seemed to have something else to do. He took a few books and left, leaving Lin Yi alone to continue reading.
Lin Yi didn't think much of this small interlude. When it came to medical skills, who could compare with his old man? He heard that when his old man was young, he casually gave a few pointers to a young Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, and that young Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner became a famous one.
Of course, this was what Lin Yi heard when his old man was drunk. It didn't matter if it was true or not. But Lin Yi had learned a lot from his old man over the years.
After finding what he wanted, Lin Yi put the books back. There was no need to buy them for now. If he brought them back to school, he'd probably attract a lot of attention. Until now, Lin Yi still wanted to keep a low profile.
But now, Lin Yi couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to. Lin Yi's name had spread all over the school today.
On his way back to school, Lin Yi bought a fruit jianbing from a roadside stall. The cafeteria would probably be out of food by now.
Lin Yi went straight to the classroom and saw Mengyao and Yushu both sitting at their seats, still watching Happy Goat and Big Big Wolf. Yushu looked up at him when he entered the room and poked Mengyao with her finger.
Mengyao raised her eyelids, but returned to the mp4 in her hands. Lin Yi ignored them and went back to his seat.
"Hey, Yao Yao, Shield Bro's back! He doesn't look like he's been tortured!" Yushu said. She'd read too many novels, thinking that people coming out of the police station would be skinned.
"Hmph, that girl Lingshan wouldn't do anything to him. She must've been the one who let him out so soon. "Mengyao curled her lips, dissatisfied with Lin Yi's quick return.
"Heh … Yao Yao, do you think they did that in the police station too?" Yushu fantasized.
"Shu, you're too evil." Mengyao frowned. "Don't disgust me. I don't want to throw up what I ate in the afternoon."
