Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although they had their doubts, no one mocked or questioned aloud.
They all knew that Gu Qingluan had decent medical skills, and given her close relationship with the Island of No Return, it was reasonable to a.s.sume that Young Master Xiaonan might have learned some basic medical skills either through observation or from a reputable teacher.
Gu Qingluan stood by, watching, ready to lend a hand if Xiaonan encountered any difficulties.
Fainting due to excessive excitement was not a serious ailment.
Xiaonan pinched the girl among the onlookers and then p.r.i.c.ked the Hegu acupoint on her wrist.
The girl slowly opened her eyes.
The people around were thrilled, “She’s awake! She’s really awake!”
“Young Master Xiaonan is quite skilled despite his young age!”
The girl woke up and, after a moment of confusion, pieced together the chatter around her. She realized that she had just fainted due to her infatuation and felt embarra.s.sed, her face flushing red. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.
From the corner of her eye, she glimpsed a figure in dark silk robes and recognized the handsome young man. She dared not look at him for long, lowering her head as she thanked Gu Xiaonan.
Gu Xiaonan waved his hand in a childish tone, saying, “Miss, there’s no need to be polite. You just fainted due to excessive excitement. I didn’t even need to intervene; you would have woken up on your own in a couple of hours.”
The girl, who appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, blushed even more upon hearing his words as if she might start bleeding from her embarra.s.sment. She stammered, “Um, still, thank you, young one, I…”
She wasn’t sure how to express her grat.i.tude to Gu Xiaonan, so she took off the jade bracelet she was wearing on her wrist and handed it to him.
“This is a consultation fee.”
Gu Xiaonan shook his head and refused, “I’m offering free medical services today. No need for payment.”
“You provide free services to the poor. I know that. But my family has money, and this consultation fee should go to you,” the young girl insisted, stuffing the jade bracelet into Gu Xiaonan’s hand. Then she turned and pushed through the crowd and ran off.
Many people had watched her swoon with infatuation, and now they were all exclaiming and talking excitedly, making her feel even more embarra.s.sed.
Gu Xiaonan held onto the bracelet and looked up, seeking help from Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan smiled and said, “She has a point. Let’s add this bracelet to the relief fund to help more people.”
Gu Xiaonan grinned. “Yes, Mother, you always think ahead.”
Gu Qingluan patted his head. “I won’t disturb you anymore. Get back to work.”
Gu Xiaonan nodded and returned to his seat, which had an elevated stool.
Su Lei placed his hands under Gu Xiaonan’s armpits and lifted him onto the high stool.
Sitting there with a serious expression on his round face, Gu Xiaonan didn’t look intimidating at all, despite his young age and delicate features. On the contrary, he was quite endearing.
Then, he spoke loudly in a childlike voice, “Next!”
Ah, how could there be such an adorable kid?
“I’m the first one, I’ll go first.”
A middle-aged woman with patched clothing immediately stepped forward.
Those who came here for medical help couldn’t afford to see a doctor, and they had just witnessed Gu Xiaonan’s medical skills, so they welcomed him without hesitation.
The middle-aged woman sat across from Gu Xiaonan.
Gu Xiaonan asked her to place her hand on the table.
The middle-aged woman complied.
Gu Xiaonan’s small fingers gently touched her pulse.
In the previous examination, his movements had been too fast, and n.o.body had paid close attention. The girl who was unconscious had already awakened. But this time, everyone was watching closely.
The sight of the little child earnestly checking the pulse was incredibly endearing.
Just as everyone was captivated by this adorable scene, Gu Xiaonan spoke up, “Ma’am, do you often experience backaches and excessive v.a.g.i.n.al discharge?”
