Half an hour passed by before I knew it.
By this time, the acupuncture for Lin Xixin had been completed, along with other treatment methods, and finally, her illness was cured.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming from the corridor, and Luo Yang felt it was Tan Shengmei.
The next moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Is the acupuncture done?" Tan Shengmei knocked on the door softly.
"It's done," Luo Yang went to open the door.
Upon entering and learning that Lin Xixin was alright, Tan Shengmei smiled and said,
"I told you he was skilled, do you believe it now?"
Back then, Tan Shengmei had mentioned in front of Lin Xixin that there was a young man with remarkable medical skills.
At the time, Lin Xixin thought Tan Shengmei was joking and didn't believe her.
Now, having seen Luo Yang's medical skills with her own eyes, Lin Xixin was utterly impressed and laughed, "I didn't expect him to be so young, yet his medical skills are so good."
With that, she turned her head to look at Luo Yang.
"Niu Zai, is your medical skill a family heritage?" Lin Xixin asked.
To clarify that, I would have to mention the Shennong Scripture.
Even Tang Guihua and An Yuying, both girls, Luo Yang hadn't told them this secret.
After all, the fewer people who knew of the existence of the Shennong Scripture, the safer Luo Yang was.
Seeing him smile without answering, Tan Shengmei said, "Niu Zai, who did you learn your skills from? Could you introduce us?"
If it wasn't family-taught medicine, then he must have learned it from somewhere else.
Tan Shengmei also wanted to meet the person who had taught Luo Yang his medical skills.
"How should I put it... my master repeatedly reminded me that no matter who asks about his name, I must not reveal it. Otherwise, he would sever ties with me," Luo Yang said seriously.
I was originally trying to think of some excuse to fool Lin Xixin and Tan Shengmei, but since Tan Shengmei assumed I had a master, I just went along with it.
Tan Shengmei scoffed, "Here, you tell us, we won't say anything. Only heaven knows, earth knows, I know, you know, she knows — what's the big deal?"
Lin Xixin also laughed, "Niu Zai, you tell us, we guarantee it won't get out. If your master wants to appear on TV someday, we can even go interview him."
If I really were to mention a master, it would probably be the Shennong Scripture.
Feigning difficulty, Luo Yang lit a cigarette, took a puff, and blew out a large smoke ring, saying, "No, my master would kill me if he found out. You have no idea how strict he is."
With a snort, Tan Shengmei said, "If you don't want to say, then don't use your master as a shield. You tell us and it doesn't spread, what's there to fear?"
Luo Yang had to change the subject, "How about this, Beautiful Yang Yang, Xi Yangyang, I'll give you a riddle to solve. If you get it right, I'll tell you. How does that sound?"
The two womennodded in agreement.
"Which part of the body, when it has acne, doesn't need attention?"
As he spoke, Luo Yang pointed to his own face.
Tan Shengmei said, "On the temples, where hair covers it."
Seeing Luo Yang shake his head, Lin Xixin said, "It should be the forehead, hidden by bangs."
Luo Yang still shook his head.
"Then where is it?" Tan Shengmei pressed.
"When it's on someone else's face, it doesn't need attention," Luo Yang laughed.
The two women looked at each other and stifled a laugh.
"Niu Zai, if it's on a close friend's face, one would still care," Lin Xixin retorted.
"Perhaps. Since you didn't guess the answer, there's no need to ask about my master anymore," Luo Yang laughed.
They were at a loss.
Knowing full well he wouldn't speak casually, they had no choice but to drop it.
"Is the form filled out yet?"
Tan Shengmei had no choice but to give up inquiring who Luo Yang's master was.
"Not yet, I'll fill it out now."
Luo Yang, with the cigarette still in his mouth, sat down to look over the form.
