Wilderness Romance!

Shen Yaxin was completely devastated. That incident was the biggest stain and humiliation of her life, a scar she had deliberately buried and never wanted to be mentioned again.

But Lu Pingchuan, without any scruples, casually revealed her most embarrassing and shameful past to everyone.

His face flushed red instantly, filled with shame and anger, and his whole body trembled slightly with rage.

Her dignified and aloof demeanor crumbled instantly, her eyes blazing with fury as she stared intently at Lu Pingchuan, her chest heaving violently and her breathing becoming erratic.

"Lu Pingchuan, you..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Shut up!"

Lu Pingchuan ignored Shen Yaxin, who was furious, embarrassed, and angry, and instead focused his calm and sharp gaze on Li Cheng's face, carefully examining his complexion, expression, and subtle physical features.

Li Cheng was tall and looked healthy, but his face didn't lie.

His complexion had an unnatural, dull, and pale red tinge. His nostrils were slightly flared, and he had heavy dark circles under his eyes. It wasn't just due to fatigue from staying up late; it was the complexion of a person suffering from long-term liver and gallbladder stagnation and irregular sleep patterns.

Especially when he speaks, his temples twitch slightly involuntarily, his eyebrows are always tense, the whites of his eyes have a faint yellowish tinge, and the mucous membranes at the corners of his mouth are dry. Even when he appears relaxed, his facial features still convey a sense of stiffness and tension.

In just a few seconds, Lu Pingchuan understood.

"Sir, if I'm not mistaken, you suffer from chronic migraines, mostly concentrated in your right temple, especially after staying up late or getting angry, when the pain becomes unbearable."

"In addition, you have excessive liver and gallbladder fire, spleen and stomach imbalance, bitter taste and dry mouth all year round, insomnia and dreamy at night, easy to be irritable and restless, and occasionally inexplicable palpitations."

"Don't think you're young and don't take these minor problems seriously. If they accumulate, they can cause serious problems."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Cheng, who had been looking suspicious, suddenly froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had never mentioned these minor and hidden flaws to anyone else, yet Lu Pingchuan could pinpoint them accurately after just a few glances, which was simply unbelievable.

Could it be... could it be that he really is a miracle doctor?

"Lu Pingchuan, stop talking nonsense." Shen Yaxin glared at him, her face full of disdain. "If Mr. Li really had these problems, he would have shown them to me long ago. Would it be your turn?"

"Whether it's true or not, he knows better than you. If you hadn't slept with Su Jingming back then, do you think someone like you could have become a doctor?"

"Don't fail to cure someone's illness and end up delaying their recovery."

Lu Pingchuan sneered and turned his gaze to Gao Qiang beside him: "Mr. Gao, I'll be leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Pingchuan turned and left.

I had only taken a few steps when I heard Li Cheng's voice behind me.

"Mr. Lu, please wait a moment."

Li Cheng quickly caught up with her: "Mr. Lu, my mother is suffering from a strange illness. We've been to all the top hospitals in the country, had all the equipment scanned, and consulted all the specialists, but they still can't find any lesions."

"Western medicine says it's a psychological illness, and countless traditional Chinese medicine doctors have prescribed medicine and acupuncture, but none of them have worked. I wonder if you can treat it? If you can cure my mother's illness, I'm willing to spend any amount of money."

Lu Pingchuan stopped in his tracks, his gaze turning to Shen Yaxin not far away: "Mr. Li, didn't you already hire a family doctor? Why are you asking me?"

Li Cheng gave a wry smile, looking somewhat helpless, and said, "I have consulted countless famous doctors and experts, but none of them can cure my mother's strange illness. I invited her here only in the hope that she can help alleviate my mother's symptoms."

"Mr. Lu, you were able to accurately diagnose my ailment after only a few glances. Your medical skills must be very impressive."

"I still stand by what I said: I'm willing to go bankrupt if it means losing everything I own, as long as my mother's illness can be cured."

Lu Pingchuan frowned: "Mr. Li, what a coincidence. I specialize in treating difficult and complicated diseases. Tell me, what strange illness does your mother have?"

Li Cheng sighed, his face gradually darkening, his eyes filled with exhaustion and helplessness.

"My mother's body was almost split in two. Her left side was always hot and sweaty, and she felt irritable and feverish. Her right side was always cold and stiff, and she felt numb and sensitive to cold. She felt unbearably torn apart day and night."

"Every night, her consciousness would become blurred, as if her soul had left her body. Her meridians would tighten, she would have difficulty breathing, and she would have a strong feeling of impending death. She would recover on her own by dawn."

"Nobody knows what illness my mother has, and nobody knows how to treat her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Pingchuan was overjoyed. When he was learning medicine from Lao Gui in prison, Lao Gui had told him about a peculiar medical case called "Cold Phlegm Locking the Meridians, Yin-Yang Obstruction Syndrome".

The symptoms described by Li Cheng are exactly the same as those of the cold phlegm blocking the meridians and the yin-yang obstruction syndrome mentioned by the old ghost.

Lu Pingchuan pretended to be deep in thought, then frowned and said, "Mr. Li, if I'm not mistaken, your mother's illness is called 'cold phlegm locking the pulse,' a condition of yin-yang obstruction."

"Mr. Lu, do you know what illness my mother has?" Li Cheng exclaimed, his dark eyes instantly brightening, his face filled with barely concealed excitement.

He took his mother all over the country, but no one could tell him what illness she had. Now that Lu Pingchuan had revealed it, how could anyone not be moved?

"Mr. Lu, now that you know what illness my mother has, do you have a way to treat it?"

Lu Pingchuan remained noncommittal: "Mr. Li, this kind of illness is extremely rare and cannot be cured by ordinary means. However, you are lucky because I happen to be able to cure this disease."

"Really?"

Li Cheng exclaimed in surprise, his face full of excitement, and pulled Lu Pingchuan to leave.

"Mr. Lu, please come home with me now. I'll say it again: I'll agree to any condition as long as my mother's illness can be cured."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaxin's lips curled into a sinister smile.

She knew Li Cheng's mother's illness all too well; so many famous doctors and experts across the country couldn't cure it, how could Lu Pingchuan possibly cure it?

Since he confidently claimed he could cure her, why not take this opportunity to drag Lu Pingchuan into the mire?

Once she offends Li Cheng, Lu Pingchuan will definitely suffer the consequences, and she will be able to swallow her anger completely.

"Mr. Li," Shen Yaxin said, a look of worry on her face, "Are you really going to let this convict treat your mother?"

"Your mother's health is deteriorating rapidly. How can you let a convict do whatever he wants? What if he can't cure her and even worsens her condition?"

"Besides, he's a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Have you ever seen such a young and skilled TCM doctor?"

"This..." Li Cheng looked at Lu Pingchuan and couldn't help but frown. He had been so excited that he hadn't considered this issue.

Shen Yaxin is right. The field of traditional Chinese medicine relies on experience. Lu Pingchuan is so young that no one would believe he is a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

Lu Pingchuan remained calm and unhurried: "Mr. Li, if you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. If I say I can cure it, then I definitely can. As for whether you believe me or not, that's up to you."

Before Li Cheng could speak, Shen Yaxin let out a cold laugh.

"Lu Pingchuan, treating patients is not child's play. What if we can't cure them? What then?"
