The Medical Guru

Chapter 228 Being Hit Twice in One Day! I Didn’t Want to Live!

“Do you have anything to say now?” Xu Miaolin turned to Feng Xuexin with a smile after Fang Qiu took the lead in answering the two consecutive questions.

“I, you…”

Feng Xuexin’s face turned red out of embarrassment. He pondered for a while and opened his mouth, “Humph! You got a nerd!”

Then, he turned his head aside and arrogantly continued, “To study medicine is not to recite books.”

“But, you grasp the most basic medical books worse than him,” Xu Miaolin taunted.

“Uh, this…”

Feng Xuexin’s stumbled over his words again.

“I’m going to cook for you!”

After thinking for a moment, he turned around angrily and ran to the backyard of the clinic.

Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin smiled at each other.

But Feng Xuexin, ran back unexpectedly. Throwing a glance at Xu Miaolin, he then ran to Fang Qiu immediately, staring at him and asking, “How long did it take you to recite those books?”

Fang Qiu raised two fingers.

“Two years?” Feng Xuexin asked with excitement.

Fang Qiu shook his head.

“Two months?”

“Two weeks,” answered Fang Qiu.

“What?” He looked at Fang Qiu as if Fang Qiu were a monster, and said incredulously, “How can that be possible? How can you even read so many books in two weeks? To say nothing of reciting them!”

“Yes, two weeks,” Fang Qiu answered firmly.

Feng Xuexin turned his head to Xu Miaolin.

Xu Miaolin nodded.

Feng Xuexin turned around dejectedly, as if he were struck by lightning.

“I’ll continue to cook.”

He muttered while walking to the backyard effortlessly, “No meat tonight, all vegetables.”

Fang Qiu quickly turned to Xu Miaolin and asked, “Mr. Xu, is this blow a little too much for him?”

Xu Miaolin replied with a laugh, “Don’t worry. He’s not that sensitive. He will be back on his feet again. What’s more, a small blow to his ego is good for him.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

It was six o ‘clock in the evening.

The clinic was closed.

Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin walked to the backyard.

It was quite large.

It was divided into four parts, one of which was used as a vineyard, one planted with vegetables, one with wild vegetables, and one with herbs.

In the middle of the four fields was a large space, with a stone table, four stone stools, and a recliner beside it.

“Dinner’s ready.”

From the main building came the voice of Feng Xuexin.

Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin entered the main building, after putting their luggage in the room on the right side of the backyard.

Just as they stepped in, they were stunned.

Oh boy, the four dishes on the table were all green vegetables.

“Wang Zai, you’ve really made all the dishes with only vegetables?” Xu Miaolin sat down, looked at the vegetables on the table speechlessly, and asked.

“Uncle Xu.”

Feng Xuexin replied with a grin, “We all major in Chinese Medicine. As doctors of Chinese Medicine, we should know that eating more vegetables is good for your health.”

Xu Miaolin had a bite and said angrily, “But you can’t put so much salt in it. Salt hurts.”

It was too salty.

Seeing that, Fang Qiu dared not to pick up his chopsticks.

“What’s wrong with the salty taste? I prefer it,” Feng Xuexin said roguishly.

“Alright!”

Xu Miaolin replied in a loud voice and then began to eat.

So did Fang Qiu.

“I think I was cheated this afternoon.”

After a while, Feng Xuexin suddenly said to Fang Qiu, “Why did I choose to compete with you in reciting books? Talent is necessary to study medicine. Everybody can recite books. But they can’t be doctors after reciting several books. So, I think I have to compete with you again, but this time with real skills!”

Fang Qiu let out a sigh.

He had thought Feng Xue would give up fighting with him after the competition. He never expected there would be a second one after the first one.

He was afraid this competition thing wouldn’t be over any time soon.

“Okay.” Before Fang Qiu opened his mouth, Xu Miaolin went on, “If you can say that sentence again after a week, I will regard you as the winner!”

“Really?”

Feng Xuexin looked at Xu Miaolin with surprise and said, “If I win, will you accept me as a disciple?”

...

Xu Miaolin stretched out his hand and pointed at the vegetables on the table, replying, “Accept you as my disciple, and let you cook vegetables for me every day, so that you can kill me with salt?”

Feng Xuexin made a grin, immediately stood up and ran to the kitchen on the left side of the yard. After a moment, he returned with many large dishes of fish and meat.

“Are you satisfied now?”
