Chapter 734: Chapter 731 Resolving Doubts

He Mengxiang’s cough came so suddenly, without any warning. Perhaps the flushing of her face was a sign, but no one could make the connection.

"Xiao Meng, are you alright?" Chang Jiayan asked anxiously.

"Brother Tian, this is... not serious, right?" Liu Wenxing hesitated as he spoke.

He Mengxiang couldn’t stop coughing and didn’t have any time to answer Chang Jiayan’s question. Lin Tian just gave a reassuring look, signaling to Liu Wenxing to calm down and not be anxious, without offering any explanation.

He Mengxiang coughed so much that tears streamed down her face. Suddenly, Lin Tian shouted, "Wenxing, get a trash bin for her, quick!"

"Oh, alright." Although Liu Wenxing didn’t understand why a trash bin was needed, he ran to fetch the bin from the corner of the dormitory and brought it over.

But before he had time to put it down, He Mengxiang snatched it from him and continued coughing into the trash bin.

Suddenly, a lump of grayish matter coughed up from her mouth fell into the trash bin. Everyone craned their necks to see, and it turned out to be a clump of phlegm.

Looking at He Mengxiang again, she had already stopped coughing. Although her eyes still bore the tearfulness from coughing, the redness on her face had receded.

"Are you feeling better now?" Lin Tian signaled Liu Wenxing to take the trash bin away and then said to He Mengxiang.

Gently patting her chest, He Mengxiang showed a look of surprise on her face. She excitedly said, "My chest doesn’t feel tight anymore, it feels like a stone that was pressing down on me has been lifted. It’s miraculous."

"There’s nothing miraculous about it, as long as you pay attention to your rest and diet from now on, you shouldn’t have any problems before the college entrance exams," Lin Tian said casually, not finding it particularly miraculous, for to him, it was just a minor illness.

Of course, if other doctors misdiagnosed, a minor illness could likewise turn into a serious one. If the condition worsened and pathogenic qi invaded the lungs, it might even develop into pneumonia.

"Lin Tian, I felt that you were confident throughout the entire process. Could you explain the mystery behind it?" Principal Yan asked with a smile, his eyes filled with more admiration than before.

After previous incidents, he had already tried to estimate Lin Tian as highly as possible, but now he realized that he could not even begin to see the extent of Lin Tian’s abilities.

The things that happened to this student seemed to indicate a possibility, as if there was nothing he could not do. A student who was only eighteen years old and had such profound Acupuncture Skill was hard to believe if someone told the story.

Lin Tian turned to look at the girls outside, each of them with gleams in their eyes. He knew that if he did not clarify everything, he wouldn’t be able to leave this "Silk Cave" today.

"Actually, what happened seems quite magical, but it’s quite simple when I explain it. Let’s go back to the first question I asked, you remember what it was, right?" Lin Tian asked directly.

"I remember Senior Lin Tian asked if the senior had been reading under the streetlights after lights out," a girl answered.

"That’s right. I had just looked over He Mengxiang’s complexion and confirmed the cause of her illness. It was an invasion of wind-evil and heat-evil, causing summer-dampness to stagnate within the body, turning into thick phlegm, which is why she felt tightness in her chest and short of breath."

"My question is easy to understand. Many senior three students read and review books outside after lights out, and at night, people are easily invaded by pathogenic factors. If you happen to have a weak constitution, you can catch wind-evil and heat-evil."

"The Acupuncture Skill I used on her Cizhuxue, Fengchi Acupoint, Zu San Li, and other points is to dissolve the damp-heat in her body, expel the thick phlegm, and the illness is almost cured. Just make sure to wear warm clothes at night, keep a regular schedule, and basically there won’t be any problem," Lin Tian explained in detail.

"Senior Lin Tian, it’s summer now, do we still need to pay attention to wearing warm clothes?" a girl asked, puzzled. Not only her, even Principal Yan, someone with experience, didn’t understand Lin Tian’s words.

Lin Tian had to explain again, "It’s precisely because it’s summer, when the temperature is quite high, the pores on the human body remain open for long periods. At night, even a slight cool breeze can easily allow wind-evil to invade."

"So, students who are still studying under street lights in the early morning, don’t try to stay cool. Don’t wear sexy clothes like tank tops or backless outfits. Even if you don’t catch a cold, it can attract perverts," Lin Tian said, half-jokingly, prompting a wave of girlish laughter.

"Could it attract Senior Lin Tian?" a bold girl flirted with Lin Tian.

Today’s girls are so bold, Lin Tian was helpless. To flirt so openly was too much. If they wanted to flirt, they should find a place with no one around, like renting a room or something, and then flirt. Wouldn’t that be better? Lin Tian thought shamelessly.

But handling such a small flirtation was no challenge for Lin Tian, and he joked back, "My lady, it’s best not to wear anything too sexy in front of me, I’m someone with poor self-control, and I might make a mistake."

This remark once again spurred the girls to giggle, but Principal Yan pretended to cough a few times as a warning, lest the girls’ conversation become too inappropriate.

"Lin Tian, why do I cough so badly at night when I sleep?" He Mengxiang continued to ask.

"This is a question that I think many people have encountered. There’s generally no problem during the day, but when it comes to sleeping at night, the coughing becomes severe. Why is that?" Lin Tian asked, leading the discussion.

No one could answer, and Lin Tian didn’t wait for them to think anymore. Instead, he said, "This is because, between 1 and 3 a.m., the qi and blood in the body are running through the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin. At this time, the lungs start their self-detoxification, adjustment, and repair. If there is accumulated phlegm or a pathology in the respiratory tract, coughing will occur, and it may be very intense."

"In a way, coughing is also a body’s stress response for self-detoxification, so, when we get a cold and cough, don’t think you are smart and go buy cough medicine on your own at the pharmacy, as it will only backfire. Even if you have to take medicine, you should choose expectorants, not cough suppressants. Remember this," Lin Tian said seriously.

"I didn’t realize there was so much intricacy to it, I wouldn’t have known if Senior Lin Tian hadn’t mentioned it," one girl said, suddenly enlightened.

"Alright, any other questions, ladies? It’s almost time for the break, and I should head down," Lin Tian said, glancing at his watch. Since he had promised the Gate God Aunt, he had to follow through, otherwise, next time he might really have to sneak in through the back door.

But it seemed like the girls had no intention of letting Lin Tian leave. One girl said, "Senior Lin Tian, having listened to you, we’ve learned a lot. Why don’t you stay over for the break, or you can come to our dormitory. I’m in room 402 downstairs."

Damn, when women flirt, they are bolder than men. Lin Tian had to say, "Uh, my lady, I’m afraid I might commit a crime, better not."

"Cough, cough..." Principal Yan coughed a few more times. If this flirting went on any longer, it wasn’t just Lin Tian who couldn’t handle it, Principal Yan would be the first to lose his composure.

He could only exercise the authority of the principal, waving his hand at the girls, "Classmates, disperse, don’t disturb the rest of the other students."
