Amidst the golden autumn of October, Linshan Middle School, the medical office.

"I am a doctor, a pure, kind, and dedicated one at that. Though I'm just a school doctor, that doesn't diminish my lofty professional ethics. As a doctor, treating patients is my calling, and this calling requires me to view every patient with sacred eyes. In my eyes, there is no distinction between genders or appearance, only my patients. So, student, you have to trust me," Tangyu said with utter righteousness, his face showing not a trace of impurity.

Xia Xiaoyu looked somewhat timidly at the new school doctor in his pristine white coat before her, feeling a bit ashamed as she spoke, "But Doctor, I just have a cold. I just wanted to take some medicine, that's all." If not for the new school doctor's serious demeanor, Xia Xiaoyu would definitely have thought the man was a lecher.

Still, with his pretty and somewhat handsome features, could this new school doctor, who didn't appear to be more than twenty-three or twenty-four, truly possess such high professional standards?

Xia Xiaoyu, who was accustomed to male attention, became a bit more cautious. She moved back to the door, ready to rush out of the medical office should there be any sudden movements.

Seeing Xia Xiaoyu's guarded and timid demeanor, Tangyu smiled inwardly, admiring the young beauty's innocence. Her shyness was so endearing. This young lady, recognized as one of the top three beauties at Linshan Middle School, indeed had an exceptional appearance. Only eighteen years old, but already well-developed.

Her height exceeded one meter sixty-five. She had the quintessential beautiful oval face, skin as white as snow, tender as if it could break at a breath's touch. And those innocent, doe-like eyes were particularly captivating.

Both her figure and appearance were absolutely stunning. That slightly immature face, coupled with her timid expressions, would make anyone yearn to keep her in a harem.

Watching her caused Tangyu's heart to flutter, though his professionalism kept his expression serious.

Tangyu shook his head seriously, correcting her with a stern voice, "Student, if you just had a cold, don't you think I would have noticed? In fact, this cold of yours is caused by an underlying issue within your body. In addition to feeling feverish and weak, aren't you experiencing intermittent pain in your back that has persisted for a while? Besides that, don't you often feel an inexplicable soreness in your waist, to the point where sometimes you can't even straighten up? Please, trust my expertise. I can spot what is ailing you with a single glance."

Xia Xiaoyu stared at Tangyu in shock, a trace of amazement flickering in her eyes because he was spot-on. Her wariness toward Tangyu's gaze dissipated significantly as she said, "Doctor, you're incredible. How could you know all that with just one look? I thought it was normal, so I never paid it much mind. But Doctor, how could these pains be related to the cold?"

Tangyu replied, "Of course, they're related, and the relationship is significant. The reason you've developed these chronic conditions is because you've always studied too seriously from a young age, sitting for too long each day. Plus, your physique isn't very strong, and you severely lack exercise. Over time, blockages have formed in your acupoints and meridians, causing pain now and then. This pain then triggers a chain reaction, lowering your constitution and disturbing your sleep. At night, don't you sometimes wake up cold, realizing that your blanket has slipped off?"

Xia Xiaoyu's face immediately flushed with embarrassment, and she nodded somewhat sheepishly, "Doctor, it's really like that."

Witnessing Xia Xiaoyu's blushing demeanor, Tangyu couldn't help but steal another look. No, two more looks. Alright, many more looks...

"You don't need to be so shy, student. I am your doctor, and you are my patient. There is nothing for you to conceal in front of me; everything is sacred. Let me ask you, is your menstrual cycle still regular?" Tangyu inquired.

"Ah?" Xia Xiaoyu was startled, her eyes widening in bewilderment as she stared at Tangyu, momentarily at a loss for a response. She asked, "Doctor, what do you mean by 'that'?"

Tangyu still wore a serious expression as he explained, "I'm referring to 'that' which occurs once a month for you girls."

"Ah—"

Xia Xiaoyu's face turned as red as a ripe apple, and she buried her head deeply, as if wanting to burrow into her neck. Even if a female doctor had asked her this question, she would have felt extremely embarrassed, after all, it concerned the most private matter for a girl. And what's more, it was a male doctor asking.

This was the first time Xia Xiaoyu had been asked such a question by a doctor, and she naturally felt at a loss and incredibly shy. She had only come to get some cold medicine, so how had so many problems cropped up all of a sudden? Could it be that the school doctor was also knowledgeable in gynecology? But she was still an underage girl who hadn't yet turned eighteen, how could she possibly have gynecological issues?

Tangyu said, "Classmate, there's no need to be so shy. If my guess is correct, your period over the past few months hasn't been very punctual, right? Generally, it must have been delayed by a few days, hasn't it?"

Xia Xiaoyu, not daring to raise her head, nodded and gave a response softer than a mosquito's buzz, "Mm."

Tangyu said, "That's right, I'm now mostly clear about the cause of your illness. If it's not thoroughly treated in time, the consequences could be very serious. In the best-case scenario, you might frequently catch colds or experience body aches, but in the worst case, it could lead to menstrual disorders and other symptoms. So classmate, this illness needs to be treated promptly."

"What?" Xia Xiaoyu looked up bewilderedly with a dazed expression, staring at Tangyu. It was as if a perfectly healthy person had suddenly been told by a doctor, 'You have cancer'. At that moment, Xia Xiaoyu couldn't quite identify her feelings, only feeling that at her young age she shouldn't be stricken with such a severe illness.

"But—but, my family doesn't have money," Xia Xiaoyu said after a while, struggling with the words, visibly frightened by Tangyu's statement.

Tangyu shook his head and said, "You forgot that I am the school doctor, and a school doctor does not charge students a penny for treatment. So, you won't have to spend a penny."

Xia Xiaoyu's face lit up with surprise and she said to Tangyu, "Doctor, are you saying that you can cure me?"

Tangyu nodded and said, "Don't doubt it, since I can clearly understand your condition, I am confident I can cure your illness. It is my duty, please trust my professional ethics and skills. Do I look like I am joking with you?"

Xia Xiaoyu shook her head immediately and said, "No, no, Doctor, don't get me wrong. It's just that the previous school doctors seemed only able to treat minor ailments, so—"

Tangyu said, "Doctor Yang's skills are too poor, I am a professionally skilled doctor, so trusting me is the right thing to do."

Xia Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Mm, I trust you, Doctor. So what should I do now?"

Tangyu's eyes flashed with a glint of light, and he still spoke with due righteousness, "First, take off your jacket and lie down on that bed over there."

Just as Xia Xiaoyu's face was beginning to recover, it immediately turned as red as if scorched, as if blood could drip from it.
