Zhang Fei was clenching his teeth and holding a fist.
"Stop seeing my cousin." Wang Yao just said those four simple words. He was starting to find the teenager annoying.
"What if I say no?" said Zhang Fei.
"Well..." said Wang Yao with a smile."Ignorant people are always fearless."
Wang Yao tapped on the table with his knuckle. Snap! The solid wood table suddenly split into two.
Zhang Fei was frozen.
"Your parents are hard-working people. They hope you can focus on your studies and have a good future. They want to be proud of you, " said Chen Ying, as Wang Yao couldn't be bothered to talk to Zhang Fei anymore.
"They don't want to see you being driven out of the school without a diploma, " added Chen Ying calmly.
Zhang Fei's face turned increasingly white.
"Even if I fail to get into a university, I can support myself!" said Zhang Fei.
"I have to leave him to you." Wang Yao suddenly stood up.
"No problem, " said Chen Ying with a smile.
Wang Yao then left the room.
"Dinner is ready, " said Chen Ying to Zhang Fei with a smile.
As a young woman, Chen Ying was able to do a lot of things. She knew Kung Fu, was able to cook delicious dishes, and had the knowledge of psychology, interrogation, and inquisition.
Her skills were more than enough to deal with a teenager.
"Shall we go somewhere else?" said Chen Ying.
She then drove Zhang Fei to an isolated place.
There, Chen Ying had a deep conversation with Zhang Fei.
Eventually, Zhang Fei went back home traumatized. His face was extremely white, as if he had met a ghost.
Wang Yao stood in the courtyard and looked at the sky while he waited for Chen Ying to come back.
"Everything's sorted out?" asked Wang Yao.
"All sorted, " said Chen Ying.
Zhang Fei was just a teenager.
Chen Ying had worked for Su Xiaoxue's family for many years and had encountered all kinds of people. She had come across many young people from rich families. She had to admit that most of those young people were well-educated and had good manners, although people from average families often didn't like them. Compared to those brilliant rich kids, Zhang Fei was just some kid who went down a wrong path.
"Thank you, " said Wang Yao.
"You are welcome, " said Chen Ying. Dealing with a teenager was nothing to her.
"I may be good at treating illnesses, but I'm not good at dealing with people, " said Wang Yao calmly.
"I've contacted a few schools. Can you have a look which one is suitable for Li Na?" Chen Ying gave a list of school to Wang Yao.
Wang Yao took a look and found all the schools on the list were elite schools in Beijing. Many parents in Beijing would try their best to send their kids to those schools.
"Thank you very much, " said Wang Yao.
"You are most welcome. Stop thanking me. I'm overwhelmed, " said Chen Ying with a smile.
"I'll ask my auntie first, " said Wang Yao.
"Okay, no hurry, " said Chen Ying.
Wang Yao took a photo of the list with his phone and sent it to Zhang Xiufang. He would let Zhang Xiufang and her husband make the decision.
Now he owed Chen Ying a big favor, although he knew it was because of Su Xiaoxue's family.
A debt of gratitude was the hardest to pay back.
The night of Beijing was glorious, but it was hot and sticky in the summer.
Su Xiaoxue was lying on her bed. Her body was still hot but the heat started to become bearable. She had a number of treatment sessions over the last few days. There was no doubt that Wang Yao was a wonderful doctor. The ulcers on her skin were starting to scar over, and most of the ulcers were healing quite well. The burning heat inside her body was also slowly disappearing.
Now, she had seen hope while being in endless pain. She had seen light in the endless dark.
For Su Xiaoxue, it was hard to stay alive. However, as long as she had the hope, it was worthwhile to put up with the pain.
Meanwhile, Wang Yao was making notes under the light in the courtyard.
He wanted to add another decoction to the treatment session the next day on top of the Muscle Revitalizing powder and the Blood Deblocking powder.
He needed to add one more decoction to remove the toxins inside Su Xiaoxue's body.
The decoction was not difficult to make. Wang Yao planned to boil the Antidote herb in the water, and then add one or two herbs into the boiled water. He had all of the herbs available in the herb cabinet.
Wang Yao got up very early the next morning.
After practicing Chinese boxing, Wang Yao started to prepare for the decoction.
"Are you going to brew a decoction?" asked Chen Ying.
"Yes, " said Wang Yao.
"Can I observe you doing it?" asked Chen Ying.
"Of course, " said Wang Yao with a smile.
After breakfast, Wang Yao started a fire and put the pot on it. Chen Ying sat next to him.
The flame was dancing. The water in the pot soon boiled.
Wang Yao put a small section of Shanjing into the water. He could actually replace Shanjing with ginseng, but Shanjing's nature was milder.
"There are a lot of knowledge in brewing a decoction, " said Wang Yao.
"You need to decide what herbs to be put in the decoction. Before that, you need to be aware of the nature of the herbs, and if they are contradictory. You also need to decide what kind of firewood should be used, which herb should be put into the water first, control the temperature of the flame, etc, " added Wang Yao while putting more firewood in the flame.
"It indeed contains a lot of knowledge!" exclaimed Chen Ying.
"If you are really interested in learning how to brew a decoction, the best way to start would be learning how to recognize different herbs, " said Wang Yao.
"Previously when I observed you brewing a decoction, I thought it must be really easy. However, now I don't think I will be able to do it because it sounds so complicated, " said Chen Ying.
"It's never too late to learn, " said Wang Yao.
It would be very hard for people like Chen Ying to grasp the essence of brewing a decoction. After all, not everyone had the wonderful system Wang Yao had. The system had injected a huge amount of knowledge of medicine and herbs into Wang Yao's head. An average person would spend decades trying to grasp that knowledge, and probably still couldn't apply it to real life cases well.
The Detoxification decoction was very easy to brew.
The decoction turned light green after the last leaf of Detoxification grass had been put into the pot. The decoction had a nice herbal smell.
Without a multifunctional pot for herbs, Wang Yao had to use a filtering tool to remove the dregs.
"Wow, a green decoction!" exclaimed Chen Ying.
She had seen quite a lot of different decoctions, but it was her first time seeing a decoction with such nice color.
"Yeah, well, it's done. Can you take me to Su Xiaoxue's house?" said Wang Yao.
"Sure, " said Chen Ying.
It was early morning and the sun had just risen, so it was not too hot yet.
Su Xiaoxue was looking through the window in her spacious room. She could see a tree and the blue sky.
It would be really nice to have a walk outside!
She was looking at the sky quietly.
Unconsciously, one of her fingers moved a bit.
No one saw it. Su Xiaoxue didn't even feel it herself.
"Hello, Dr. Wang, please come in, " said Song Ruiping.
She welcomed Wang Yao into Su Xiaoxue's bedroom with a smile. Song Ruiping actually had a paid job. She had a position in a department in the government. She had taken extended leave to look after her daughter. After all, she was from a prestigious family.
"Good morning, ma'am, " said Chen Ying politely.
"Good morning, you must have been working very hard lately, " said Song Ruiping.
"I'm just doing my job, " said Chen Ying.
"Shall I take a look at Miss Su?" asked Wang Yao.
"Okay, " said Song Ruiping.
She led Wang Yao into Su Xiaoxue's room while Chen Ying was waiting outside.
Wang Yao didn't check Su Xiaoxue's pulse right away. He sat down and had a close look at the new muscles and skin. He touched the skin gently from time to time.
The new skin was very soft.
Then Wang Yao started to put some pressure on the skin.
Song Ruiping was a bit nervous while watching Wang Yao check Su Xiaoxue's skin.
"Good!" Wang Yao stopped applying pressure, and Song Ruiping breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's start the treatment session, " said Wang Yao.
"Okay, " said Song Ruiping.
She asked the nurse waiting outside to enter the room.
Wang Yao sprayed the Muscle Revitalizing powder on Su Xiaoxue's skin.
He then gave her the Detoxification decoction to drink.
"Is this a different decoction?" A very observant Song Ruiping noticed the difference right away.
"Both decoctions have a mild nature. Don't worry, " reassured Wang Yao.
At last, he gave Su Xiaoxue Blood Deblocking powder to take.
The nature of Blood Deblocking powder was stronger. Wang Yao didn't change the dose, but he diluted it with the ancient spring water.
Each of three decoctions had different functions.
After Su Xiaoxue had taken the decoction, Wang Yao sat next to her bed to observe her reaction.
"Let me know if you feel anything abnormal, " said Wang Yao.
"Okay, " said Su Xiaoxue.
She didn't feel too different this treatment session than from the last two treatment sessions. She had a nice feeling on her skin, a nice and cool feeling. She continued to feel burning hot inside, but it was not as bad as what it was like during the last two sessions.
"Good, there was no adverse reaction, " said Wang Yao.
He checked Su Xiaoxue's pulse from time to time. He was worried initially that the Blood Deblocking powder would contradict the Detoxification decoction. It seemed they worked well together; each of them took their own effect in Su Xiaoxue's body.
"Ms. Song, I am going to give Xiaoxue a massage. I just want to try it today, " said Wang Yao.
The reason why he pressed Su Xiaoxue's skin was to test her tolerance to pressure. Su Xiaoxue seemed to be fine with gentle pressure on her skin.
