Chapter 54 Part 2
Su Chenyu swore he wasn’t carrying anything besides his phone.
He rolled up his sleeves, extending his arms. “Smell, do I smell like anything?”
Fan Xuan and Han Ye sniffed, he didn’t smell like anything, no body odor either.
“What happened to your arm?” Fan Xuan noticed the red, irritated skin on his arm.
Su Chenyu said, “It’s nothing, perhaps it’s the colder weather now, my skin is a bit sensitive and itchy, I scratched it, my back is also like this.”
Su Chenyu looked at his arm, uncertain. His skin felt itchy, like something was about to emerge.
Fan Xuan and Han Ye, looking at the cats, exchanged a glance. “How about you… try connecting with Doctor Wu Heng?”
Su Chenyu paused, connect with the shaman doctor? Was he afflicted by some strange illness too?
“Doctor Wu Heng, long time no see. This is our fitness center, the best in Beijing!” Guo Jiang, the fitness trainer, said nervously, holding his phone, facing the camera.
This wasn’t a live stream, but a video call with Wu Heng.
He was that unlucky guy who almost had a ghost marriage with his aunt. With the recent discussions about Wu Heng and the ghost patient online, he was brought up again.
The manager of the fitness center watched Guo Jiang anxiously.
“Besides our gym equipment, we also have a swimming pool, everything fitness-related can be found here,” Guo Jiang said, promoting his fitness center clumsily.
Wu Heng was eating lunch, golden crispy pork knuckle made by Zhou Yi’s mother, who quickly left after delivering it, afraid of angering her son.
Wu Heng, eating, asked with a smile, “So?”
Guo Jiang said somewhat awkwardly, “Doctor Wu, the height-increasing exercise you taught Han Ye is extremely popular online, we heard you haven’t authorized commercial use. Our manager asked if we could discuss licensing it.”
Everyone in the fitness world was trying this exercise, even some elderly people, reportedly for its health benefits, not just for height increase.
Shorter people online were even measuring their height daily, claiming to have grown half a centimeter, although it was probably too early to tell, the method was definitely popular.
Guo Jiang, showcasing his fitness center, took a video tour. As he passed the pool area, a handsome university student entered the frame.
The swimming coach was giving him a lecture, and Su Chenyu, looking at the blue water, felt his legs tremble.
His luck was terrible. Swimming was part of the PE curriculum this year, and he was worried about failing.
He had a cruise trip planned with his friends, and being a landlubber his whole life, he felt embarrassed.
So, wanting to maintain his image as a school heartthrob, he had secretly signed up for swimming lessons, but he was truly afraid of water.
Su Chenyu, listening to the coach, said dejectedly, “I really wish I could practice in a bathtub first.”
The swimming coach looked confused, “What? A fish tank?”
“You’re not a fish, why practice in a fish tank?”
Wu Heng, seeing this, chuckled. Guo Jiang quickly explained, “Doctor Wu, he’s a new student, it’s normal to be afraid of water. He won’t be afraid after he learns how to swim.”
“He’s not afraid of water,” Wu Heng said, giving Xi Xi a piece of meat, then looking at Guo Jiang, “It’s fine if your fitness center wants the commercial rights, but do me a favor and give this swimming student a message –”
“He can come to my online consultations if he’s sick.”
Chengde Medical Clinic was live again, and Su Chenyu was secretly watching, having also been advised by Coach Guo to consult Wu Heng.
[Heng Heng, will Mu Yu Yi Mian be writing any sweet extras? Or has she ascended?]
[Why is Wu Heng dressed so formally today, even wearing silver earrings and traditional clothing?]
[Once she realizes she’s a ghost, she’ll go reincarnate. I sent her gifts last night on Jinjiang, I wish her happiness in her next life.]
[Any new patients tonight? I’ve been waiting.]
As they were chatting, firecrackers went off outside the clinic.
Zhou Yi, in charge of the camera, followed Wu Heng.
You Jin, hearing the firecrackers, quickly adjusted his clothes, nervously fussing over Wu Heng. “Xiao Heng, they’re here! Oh my, I’m so nervous! What if I mess up? Do I look okay…?”
Wu Heng strode outside, firecrackers crackling, the red firecrackers stretching from the village entrance to the clinic’s doorstep, smoke filling the air, a drone buzzing overhead.
Zhou Dagui, chest puffed out, walked proudly at the head of the eighteen village chiefs. Seeing his grandson live-streaming, he found a good angle and placed a large red flower on Wu Heng.
Besides the village chiefs, the town’s police chief, government officials, they were all there.
One of them presented a large red banner to Wu Heng with the words “Miraculous Doctor” written in calligraphy.
You Jin’s eyes welled up with tears. So proud! Xiao Heng had brought honor to their master! This banner was a testament to his skills.
“This is Doctor Wu’s payment for treating Professor Zhao Qingyun.”
A large cardboard check displayed one million yuan clearly, perfect for a photo op. A seven-figure sum, which would be transferred directly to Wu Heng later.
Everyone had thought Professor Zhao wouldn’t make it that night, but then a miracle happened! So they immediately arranged a checkup, and he was truly recovering, the cancer cells receding, amazing all the doctors.
After a meeting, they sent the generous payment.
The He family paid two million for curing He Yunxiao’s snake fetus.
But this was different, an official reward, much more significant.
[So the rumors are true! Professor Zhao really can live another thirteen years!]
[Our Wu Heng deserves this, officially recognized as a miraculous doctor. Who still dares to call him a charlatan?!]
[So much face! The village chief must be so proud, haha!]
[No wonder Wu Heng dressed up, he was waiting for the award ceremony!]
Wu Heng, holding the banner and the check, posed for photos with everyone.
Before it ended, Zhou Dagui enthusiastically announced to the live stream, “Doctor Wu Heng will represent our Nan Nuo village in the Nuo opera festival next week, everyone is welcome to visit our eighteen villages!”
This was the main reason for the high-profile event! Attracting tourists!
Wu Heng asked the excited You Jin to hang the banner in the clinic, then turned to Zhou Yi. “Zhou Yi, when you have time, ask Officer Wang and the others to escort you, I need to withdraw three hundred thousand in cash from this.”
Zhou Yi, although puzzled, nodded and went to do it.
Wu Heng returned to the live stream, the number of viewers exceeding ten million.
Su Chenyu, seeing this, didn’t hesitate, sending a gift and requesting a connection.
Whether his fear of cats was an illness or not, consulting with Wu Heng wouldn’t hurt. But Chengde Medical Clinic was so popular, so many patients wanting to connect, he wasn’t sure he’d be chosen.
The next second, he was live, scratching his arm.
Su Chenyu: “…”
Connected so easily? Why was he always so awkward lately?
[Holy crap, the new patient is so handsome! The most handsome one yet!]
[I still prefer Heng Heng’s looks!]
[Isn’t this Chen Yu? The school heartthrob from the medical university!]
[Even someone this handsome can get sick? Don’t bully handsome people, God!]
Wu Heng smiled gently, looking at Su Chenyu. “What are your symptoms?”
Su Chenyu was currently at his house. Walking past his indoor swimming pool, he sat on a bench in his home gym. “Lately, I’ve been feeling… strange. I’m afraid of cats, seeing a cat makes me feel like my soul is leaving my body.”
Photos of him climbing the tree at the other university were still circulating on the school forums.
“But it’s also strange that cats seem to like me, they even try to lick me, it makes me shudder.”
[Hahaha, I get it, it’s the “cat magnet” constitution, cats are always drawn to me.]
[I’m so envious! New patient, you’re so lucky!]
[Soul leaving your body? I’m afraid of cats, but not to that extent!]
[This is the poetic language of a 985 university student, haha.]
“My skin has been itchy lately, with red rashes on my arms and body,” Su Chenyu pulled his shirt slightly, revealing his chest, dotted with red spots. “Doctor Wu, what is this? A psychological problem? Or a cat allergy?”
Wu Heng didn’t answer, instead asking, “Do you have access to well water? Pour a few dozen buckets into your pool.”
That wasn’t difficult. Su Chenyu instructed his servants to refill the pool with well water.
After they finished, Wu Heng said, “Now swim a lap.”
Su Chenyu was embarrassed. “Doctor Wu, I have a pool, but I’m a landlubber. I can’t swim, never learned.”
And this wasn’t related to his symptoms, he was just afraid of cats and had a rash!
Wu Heng reassured him, “Don’t worry, you’ll definitely learn how to swim this time.”
[Really? What’s going on? Learn how to swim? I’m also a landlubber, I want to learn!]
[Well water is connected to the Yin, this is not simple.]
[What kind of strange illness can teach you how to swim?!]
Su Chenyu was truly scared, he had always been afraid of water, but with Wu Heng’s reassurance, he asked his servants to watch over him and even went to get a floatie.
Wu Heng: “No floaties, no warm-up, just jump.”
Su Chenyu: “?”
Seeing Wu Heng’s serious expression, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and jumped, creating a huge splash.
His servants, afraid he would drown or get a cramp, stared intently, ready to jump in and save him.
But something unexpected happened. As soon as he entered the water, his arms started moving instinctively.
Not even doggy paddling, he was swimming smoothly, like a fish.
The servants were stunned.
Young Master Su Chenyu was a quick learner, except for swimming. He was a landlubber!
How could he suddenly know how to swim?!
Without a floatie, without any coaching?!
“Wait, what’s that on Young Master’s back?” a sharp-eyed servant suddenly exclaimed, pointing at Su Chenyu in the pool.
Su Chenyu was only wearing swimming trunks, his well-defined abs rippling as he swam.
And on his fair back, scales were appearing.
