Chapter 159: All Fans of Ms. Cang

Chapter 159: All Fans of Ms. Cang

"Dad, Zhou Lang really is a miraculous doctor. I had to put in a lot of effort to invite him here."

Zhu Yan of course knew what her father was thinking, so she hurriedly said that capable people always have a bit of a temper. She was worried that Zhou Lang would get unhappy and leave directly, which would make all her efforts today go to waste.

"It's rare for you to have a day off, and you still have to take care of us. You definitely don't have much of a chance to be with your boyfriend. Since today is the weekend, why don't you two go out and have fun? Just pack some food and bring it back for me when you return."

Zhu Qingshan said. He still thought of Zhou Lang as Zhu Yan's boyfriend.

"Uncle, I really am a doctor." Zhou Lang said, "Treating your legs won't really cost much money. It's just Acupuncture and things like that. Even if medicine is needed, it will be Chinese herbal medicine, so please don't worry."

"Zhou Lang, then I'll trouble you."

Zhu Qingshan paused for a moment before saying. In truth, he had completely lost faith in his legs and had no intention of seeking further medical treatment, because he felt it was a waste of money. He could no longer bear to watch his daughter pinching pennies just to treat his illness.

Zhou Lang first rolled up Zhu Qingshan's pant legs to examine them, then placed his fingers on Zhu Qingshan's pulse to check its condition.

He found that the condition of Zhu Qingshan's legs was actually similar to that of Old General Qin. Both were due to damaged Meridians, which prevented the circulation of Qi and blood, causing muscle atrophy below the knees.

"Zhou Lang, can my father's legs still be cured?" Zhu Yan asked very nervously after Zhou Lang finished his examination.

"Of course they can," Zhou Lang said. "Uncle's legs are like this because his Meridians are damaged and blocked. As long as we clear the Meridians, and then have him take medicine to nourish his blood and replenish his Qi, after three months of gradual recovery, he will fully heal."

"But how do we clear blocked Meridians? Modern medical technology doesn't have such a method," Zhu Yan asked. She was a doctor herself, and a highly skilled one at that, so she naturally knew where the difficulty lay in curing her father's legs.

"I have my own ways for this."

Zhou Lang smiled. He first performed Acupuncture on Zhu Qingshan's legs, then had Zhu Yan help Zhu Qingshan sit up straight as he began to channel his energy to clear Zhu Qingshan's Meridians.

Because Zhu Qingshan's leg injury was ten years old, it was naturally more severe than Old General Qin's case. However, Zhou Lang's cultivation was much higher now than before, and his True Qi was extremely abundant, so he wouldn't easily experience meridian exhaustion.

An hour later, Zhou Lang finished his technique and said to Zhu Qingshan with a smile, "Uncle, you can try to move your legs now."

"Can my legs still move?"

Zhu Qingshan said in disbelief. His legs had been immobile for ten years, but in the next moment, he was startled himself, because he felt sensation in his calves below the knees, and they could actually move slowly.

"It really worked!"

Zhu Qingshan grew excited and said to Zhu Yan, "Xiao Yan, look, my feet can move slowly now."

"Brother Lang, your Medical Skills are truly magical."

Seeing her father's calves, which had been immobile for ten years, actually moving slowly, Zhu Yan also grew excited. She had sacrificed so much to treat her father's illness, but as time passed, she had grown increasingly desperate. However, Zhou Lang's appearance brought her a glimmer of hope.

"It's about the same as my previous prediction. I'll write a prescription in a moment. I'll come over once a week to treat Uncle. Make sure he takes his medicine on time. With Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, Uncle should be able to get out of bed and walk in three months."

Zhou Lang said confidently.

"Thank you, Zhou Lang," Zhu Qingshan said. He had originally despaired, but now, a blazing fire of hope surged in his heart.

After writing the prescription, Zhu Yan went to get the medicine for Zhu Qingshan, while Zhou Lang stayed in the room to keep Zhu Qingshan company and chat.

"Zhou Lang, what do you think of my daughter?" Zhu Qingshan asked directly.

"She is very filial, a rare and wonderful girl," Zhou Lang said.

"I think you two are a great match. If you like her, I'll take charge and betroth my daughter to you," Zhu Qingshan said.

"Uncle… this…" Zhou Lang was stunned. He hadn't expected that upon their first meeting, this elderly man would want to marry his daughter to him.

"You don't like my Xiao Yan?" Seeing Zhou Lang's astonished expression, Zhu Qingshan quickly asked.

"Uncle, to be honest, this is only the second time Zhu Yan and I have met. Isn't it a bit too fast to talk about marriage now?" Zhou Lang smiled slightly.

"So that's how it is. Young man, your Medical Skills are truly excellent, and you will definitely make a name for yourself in the medical world in the future. I think highly of you. If you fall for my daughter, just tell me directly. She is quite obedient to me."

Zhu Qingshan said.

"Certainly… certainly."

Zhou Lang sweated profusely in his mind.

Zhou Lang had lunch at Zhu Yan's house.

Zhu Yan was indeed highly capable, brewing medicine, cooking rice, and stir-frying dishes, keeping everything perfectly organized.

At four in the afternoon, Zhou Lang and Zhu Yan went to a nearby abandoned soccer field. The field was large enough and empty of people, making it perfect for Zhou Lang to practice driving.

Zhou Lang's learning ability was incomparable. After just two hours, he had already mastered the basic essentials and could even drive slowly on his own. This made Zhu Yan call him a freak, considering she had spent several months learning before she could drive.

It wasn't until nightfall slowly arrived that the two prepared to head back.

"It seems I'll only need half a month at most to drive proficiently and go take the driver's license test," Zhou Lang said to Zhu Yan. "Thank you for today. Once I get my license, I'll treat you to dinner."

"You have given hope to me and my father. I should be the one thanking you," Zhu Yan said seriously.

"Then how do you plan to thank me?" Zhou Lang chuckled.

"Even if I wanted to offer my hand in marriage, I wouldn't dare. I don't want you to mistake me for a frivolous woman," Zhu Yan joked.

"You might actually have to offer yourself to me. Your father told me that he wants to betroth you to me," Zhou Lang said.

"No way." Zhu Yan's face instantly turned red, blushing all the way to her ears.

"Are you very familiar with Captain Tang Fei?"

To break Zhu Yan's embarrassment, Zhou Lang changed the subject.

"We met a year ago. Because she often brings suspects and such to our hospital for injury assessment and treatment, we got to know each other over time," Zhu Yan said.

"She's a violent chick. I bet barely any of the suspects she catches escape without injury," Zhou Lang laughed.

"Her temper is indeed a bit fiery, but she has a good heart. If a suspect she's trying to catch tries to escape, she will definitely use force, but once they're caught, she immediately sends them to the hospital for treatment. She still has quite a humanitarian spirit," Zhu Yan was amused by Zhou Lang's words.

"I suppose you're the only one who treats her as a friend and speaks well of her," Zhou Lang smiled slightly.

"Can I ask a personal question?" Zhu Yan said. "Brother Lang, what is your relationship with Captain Tang Fei?"

"As for her and me, I guess we are friends who started off on the wrong foot," Zhou Lang said.

"I heard you are giving her breast enhancement massages. I think your relationship is definitely out of the ordinary; she wouldn't let just any man touch her body."

Zhu Yan said.

"She actually told you that?" Zhou Lang said.

"I saw her last night and noticed she had grown quite a bit bigger there. I curiously asked what breast enhancement medicine she was taking, and she told me it was you, the miraculous doctor, helping her. You're just a medical college student, yet your Medical Skills are so exquisite. I'm really curious about you," Zhu Yan said.

Zhu Yan said, a trace of disappointment in her eyes that Zhou Lang failed to notice.

Zhou Lang was the first man she had actively tried to seduce, and also the man who brought hope to her and her father. Although she had known Zhou Lang for only a short time, she still felt a special emotion toward him.

She felt that Zhou Lang was highly mysterious. He could use Acupoint Striring to render people immobile and use True Qi to clear blocked Meridians in the human body—all of which were mystical methods. Thus, she was very eager to understand him.

If Zhou Lang really cured her father's legs, she might very well have the idea of offering herself to him. But if Zhou Lang and Captain Tang Fei shared an intimate relationship, she couldn't do anything with him, because she had always regarded Captain Tang Fei as a friend, and one must not covet a friend's man.

"My Medical Skills are ancestral," Zhou Lang said with a smile, unaware of Zhu Yan's inner thoughts.

Since Zhou Lang was unwilling to elaborate, Zhu Yan didn't press further and started driving home.

After dinner, Zhu Yan drove Zhou Lang home.

The two agreed that Zhou Lang would come on Sunday to continue treating Zhu Yan's father, Zhu Qingshan, and practice driving at the same time.

On Wednesday, the official start of the school semester arrived, and Zhou Lang's summer vacation officially came to an end. So many things had happened during this summer vacation, making it far richer and more exciting than his entire past twenty-odd years of life.

After breakfast, Zhou Lang rode his bicycle to school. The Violet Apartment he rented was not far from the school, taking only about five minutes, which was very convenient.

In the past, Zhou Lang would get a headache every autumn when school started, because all the savings from his part-time jobs might not even be enough to pay his tuition. But this time, he had no such worries. He now had millions in his bank card and was already a wealthy man. Furthermore, there was still plenty of jade inside his ancestral copper coin, the "Qiankun Palace," so he wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of his life.

After paying his tuition and picking up his textbooks, Zhou Lang returned to his dormitory. Since he had moved out and no longer planned to live on campus, he felt he should let his three roommates in the same dorm know.

"Oh… Yamete…"

Just as he reached the dormitory door, Zhou Lang heard an ear-sore sound.

"These three bastards are watching Japanese adult movies again."

Even without looking, Zhou Lang knew what was going on. His three roommates, Zhou Jianping, Huang Hairong, and Li Ning, were all die-hard fans of Ms. Sola Aoi. These three guys came from ordinary families, were average-looking, and had no money or social capital to pick up girls, so gathering together to watch this kind of movie had become their favorite pastime.

Pushing the door open and entering the dorm, he indeed saw his three roommates and classmates gathered in front of a computer, staring unblinkingly at the thrilling scenes on the screen.

"Zhou Lang, why are all your things moved out?"

Sitting in front of the computer, the average-height Zhou Jianping glanced at Zhou Lang and paused the video before asking. He was the monitor of this dormitory.

"I'm living off-campus this semester. I came by specifically to see you guys. I didn't expect you to be studying art and life again," Zhou Lang chuckled. Knowing his three roommates' hobbies, he was not surprised.
