Chapter 816: Chapter 813: Lin Tian’s Distress

"Brother Lin is right, what we need to learn in medicine isn’t just medical skills. There’s a lot more to learn," Dean Miao sighed.

"Mr. Miao, you old and young here are having such an emotional chat. Are you going to see patients or not? The line’s almost out to the school gate," Zi Yan reminded helplessly. She couldn’t understand how the old and the young could talk so energetically. Wasn’t there supposed to be a generation gap between young people and the elderly?

"Little Zi is right. I’ve been too focused on chatting with Brother Lin. Let’s begin, shall we?" Dean Miao felt a bit embarrassed, then turned to Lin Tian, saying, "Brother Lin, it’s all up to you today. I’m just an observer. You can treat me as your student."

Lin Tian thought, I wouldn’t dare to take on such an old student. If your disciples and grandchildren hear about this, won’t they spit on me? The students lined up heard that it was starting, and a girl sat down in front of Lin Tian.

"Hello, Senior Lin Tian," the girl’s gentle voice sounded.

"Hello, is there something wrong or uncomfortable?" Lin Tian asked.

"I don’t know," the girl replied surprisingly, leaving Lin Tian speechless.

He signaled the girl to extend her hand, "Stretch out your hand." The girl obediently placed her hand on the table, but when Lin Tian was about to take her pulse, she grabbed Lin Tian’s hand.

"Uh, miss, I’m trying to take your pulse, not shake hands. You can let go," Lin Tian said in exasperation, thinking to himself how, as a dignified man, he was being taken advantage of by a young girl. These days, girls are really bold.

"Oh, okay..." the girl reluctantly let go of Lin Tian’s hand.

Lin Tian pretended not to notice her secret glances, took her pulse in a formal manner, while using his perspective ability to scan her internal organs.

The result of the scan made him even more exasperated. This young girl was perfectly healthy, without any illness. His junior’s intentions were questionable.

"Junior, you’re very healthy, nothing’s wrong," Lin Tian had to say seriously.

"Really? Senior, you’re amazing. Thank you, Senior." The girl said with a smile, then got up and left.

As Lin Tian thought this junior was decent, without any outrageous behavior, the girl ran outside to a group of girls, and her excited voice could be heard from afar.

"Yay! I just held hands with Senior Lin Tian. His hands are so big," said the girl.

"Really? Let’s go line up too," her companions said excitedly.

This conversation almost knocked Lin Tian down. Couldn’t the girls be a bit more low-key? What did they mean by ’so big’? That could be easily misunderstood. And queuing just to hold hands, was it necessary? Lin Tian questioned the heavens in disbelief.

Thankfully, Zi Yan and Xiao Manxuan couldn’t hear the girls’ conversation, or else I’d be labeled as a pervert again, Lin Tian thought helplessly.

"Next," Lin Tian called loudly.

Another girl sat down, and Lin Tian was stunned again. Wasn’t this Chen Xiaorou? Last time he saw the girl, she was perfectly healthy. Could she have caught a cold?

"Senior, long time no see," Chen Xiaorou said with a bright smile, which in the morning sunshine was as light and gentle as dandelions dancing in the breeze.

"Junior Xiaorou, we saw each other just a couple of days ago, not that long ago," Lin Tian reminded kindly.

"But it feels like a long time for me," Chen Xiaorou said with a giggle.

"Ahem..." Sounds of coughing came from behind Lin Tian. Obviously, Zi Yan and Xiao Manxuan couldn’t bear watching, despising the shameless flirtation.

"Uh, Junior Xiaorou, you’re not sick, we can move on to the next person," Lin Tian had to say.

"But you haven’t even taken my pulse," Chen Xiaorou asked.

"In Huaxia medicine, we use looking, smelling, questioning, and touching. It’s not necessary to take the pulse. In ancient times, the imperial physicians couldn’t touch the concubines, yet they could diagnose through looking, smelling, and questioning," Lin Tian explained seriously, taking the opportunity to share some Huaxia medical knowledge, fulfilling his promise to Dean Miao.

In reality, his skill in ’looking, smelling, questioning, and touching’ hadn’t reached the level of an imperial physician. It was entirely due to his perspective ability that he could make such judgments.

Strictly speaking, Lin Tian was self-taught, without a mentor, and had not systematically studied, so he couldn’t possibly master the traditional methods.

However, Dean Miao didn’t know the inside story, so he was very satisfied with Lin Tian’s performance because he could also see that Chen Xiaorou was completely healthy.

Chen Xiaorou reluctantly pouted and had to leave.

"Next," Lin Tian called again.

The following were all girls, none of whom were sick, and their purpose was the same as the first girl’s.

This situation left Lin Tian very helpless. The neighboring doctors used medical equipment for diagnosis and wrote numerous prescriptions, but although Lin Tian’s line started earliest, there were no illnesses to be diagnosed.

Lin Tian didn’t know what to say, completely exasperated, but he couldn’t blame the girls harshly, as their intentions were not malicious.

"Brother Lin, you don’t need to be troubled, this is a good thing," Dean Miao said with a cheerful smile.

"Mr. Miao, these little girls came to tease Lin Tian, how is that a good thing?" Zi Yan couldn’t help but refute, and Xiao Manxuan also nodded, agreeing with Zi Yan’s opinion.

Lin Tian, however, shook his head and said seriously, "While it is somewhat troubling, overall I’m still happy..."

"Of course you’re happy being so popular with the girls," Zi Yan interrupted Lin Tian’s words with a light snort.

"Senior Sister, if that’s how you think, then you’re wrong. From the patient’s perspective, when they go to the hospital for a check-up, and after all tests, the doctor tells them everything is fine, isn’t that the best news for the patient? Isn’t it a good thing?" Lin Tian said firmly.

"Although those girls’ purpose wasn’t a medical consultation, I could see they were also afraid of discovering any illness during the process. So when I said they were healthy, they felt relieved and happy."

"With so many students lined up here, I hope all of them are like that, healthy and well. Medicine is a means when illness strikes. If there’s no illness, isn’t that the best thing? After all, medicine isn’t omnipotent," Lin Tian said with a touch of emotion.

"Brother Lin, this is the first time I’ve heard someone say this. Well said! Sometimes we doctors indeed need to reflect. When learning medicine, everyone talks about helping the world, but how many truly understand it?" Dean Miao praised sincerely.

Zi Yan seemed to understand, nodding in agreement, unusually not refuting Lin Tian’s words. Her eyes shimmered with thoughts as she looked at Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, those words sound nice, but who knows, maybe you only know acupuncture, so you claim there’s no illness just to fool others," a discordant voice sounded, grating on the ears.
