Chapter 98: Tired, Let It All End
In traditional Chinese dicine, the harmony of yin and yang itself was beneficial, but one must always rember moderation. Otherwise, it was still manageable for won, but for n, it wouldn’t take long before they beca nothing but dregs of dicine.
Lin Mo didn’t know whether this had any scientific basis, but since it was said by a veteran Chinese dicine doctor like Professor Li, it probably had its reasoning.
But none of this had anything to do with him yet. He was still drinking Chinese dicine at the mont, so he definitely couldn’t be the dicinal guide.
Before leaving, Professor Li especially reminded him that the Huangdi Neijing had long stated:
‘Those who lose essence will go deaf, those who lose qi will go blind.’
In short, he told him to take good care of his body recently. After all, lust was a thief of essence. At dawn when the water clock emptied, one wouldn’t even notice, but every drop of essence was like oil for the primordial lamp. Those who lived in drowsiness would drown in the illusion of flesh, their spine turning into mud unable to hold up heaven and earth. If one guarded the heat of the dantian today, one day they would surely hear the phoenix cry from the Ninth Heaven.
He listened dumbfounded. Clearly this was Chinese dicine, yet it brought in Taoist teachings. But thinking about how Taoism and Chinese dicine were related in the first place, he decided it was better to be cautious.
Besides, he still had his online shopping page. As for adjusting the body, wasn’t that just child’s play for him?
He didn’t care much about the rest, but he firmly kept the last sentence in mind: If one guarded the heat of the dantian today, one day they would surely hear the phoenix cry.
Wasn’t that basically telling him—right now his body was weak, so he needed to nourish it more, and once it was nourished, he would get to hear the phoenix cry every day? Professor Li was truly compassionate, with excellent dical skills!
An hour later, Lin Mo drove back to school and went straight to where Sichuan Girl lived.
For no other reason but that the Chinese dicine liquid in his hand needed to be kept in the fridge. Otherwise, in this temperature, it would spoil in less than two days.
‘Bang, bang, bang’
“Sichuan, open the door, daddy’s here!”
Lin Mo pounded on the door and shouted. Soon, the door opened—it was Wang Chu.
“This Sichuan Girl rented a place outside, but it sure gave you a good hangout spot,” Lin Mo said with a smile.
These past few days, he had been reading in the library, while Wang Chu had been hanging around with Sichuan Girl, helping with livestream effects. Sotis it got too late, so he just stayed over.
Lin Mo himself enjoyed much more peace in the dorm, even not needing to draw the curtain when shopping online at night.
It even made him consider whether he should rent a place too, in case he ordered so large item in the future—it wouldn’t be so easily discovered by others.
“Of course, but it’s not that I wanted to co. It’s that now Sichuan Girl can’t do without ,” Wang Chu said proudly.
Lin Mo smiled. Indeed, the livestreams these two had done recently were pretty successful, even trending online. He would sotis watch a bit at night—quite entertaining.
“You’d better wear that mask tighter. Too shady. I’m afraid netizens might dox you!”
Lin Mo said as he stepped inside, spotting Sichuan Girl on the sofa without makeup, eating takeout.
“What, you’re not livestreaming today? Why no makeup?” Lin Mo asked.
Sichuan Girl looked up from his mixed rice: “Can’t livestream every day. Resting today, filming material tomorrow. What’s that in your hand?”
“Chinese dicine. Went to the hospital this afternoon.”
As he spoke, he casually put the bag into the fridge, then continued: “By the way, is Sister Yuan still around? If she is, let’s all go eat together, my treat!”
Slling the food, he felt starved. He hadn’t eaten since noon, and now his stomach was growling fiercely.
“She’s still here. She’s upstairs arranging sothing, said we’d go up tonight and take a look.” Wang Chu said while sitting down to eat again.
But Sichuan Girl noticed sothing odd: “Chinese dicine? Why are you drinking Chinese dicine now?”
Saying this, he got up, walked over, and opened the fridge. Inside were packs of ready-made Chinese dicine liquid. Just heat in hot water before drinking—very convenient.
“Nothing much, just adjusting my body. If you’re sick, it treats you; if you’re not, it strengthens you!” Lin Mo said casually, grabbing an apple from the table and taking a bite to fill his stomach first.
But after he spoke, there was no response. Turning around, he saw Sichuan Girl scanning the prescription label with his phone.
“Polygonatum with wine, Astragalus, Schisandra, Spatholobus… treats qi deficiency, spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency. Hahaha, Old Mo, you’re actually that weak?”
Sichuan Girl checked the prescription online and easily found the main symptoms it treated.
“What? Old Mo has kidney deficiency? Hahaha, Old Mo, you actually…”
The two of them burst into laughter, slapping thighs, pounding the table, nearly laughing themselves to death.
“Ol… Old Mo, it’s okay, kidney deficiency isn’t scary. Besides, you don’t even have a girlfriend. Don’t worry, we’re bros, we won’t laugh at you hahahaha!” Wang Chu patted his shoulder, his fat trembling with each laugh.
Sichuan Girl also comforted him: “Wang Chu is right. But you actually believe in Chinese dicine? You might as well just take so Liuwei Dihuang Pills. Old Mo, you didn’t get scamd, did you? Hahaha!”
Lin Mo: .
And they said they wouldn’t laugh. Weren’t they already laughing?
He slapped away Wang Chu’s hand, gave the two of them a glance, then turned to the window and said: “Get lost. This prescription was given to by Professor Mu’s husband.
Professor Li is a professor at the dical University, and also the deputy director of the hospital of Chinese dicine. His appointnts are hard to get. Last ti, I only got to et him because I helped him a little while on a trip with Professor Mu. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even get to see him.
Professor Li is a proper Chinese dicine doctor. His students are all hospital departnt directors now. I’m telling you, damn!!”
As he turned back, he saw the two of them kneeling in front of the fridge, chugging down his Chinese dicine like crazy.
“Stop! That’s mine!” Lin Mo rushed to pull them back, but Wang Chu easily pushed him aside.
“Ah~~ such good stuff, Old Mo, how could you hog it all? The governnt’s disaster relief dicine finally arrived, we’re saved!”
Wang Chu said while grimacing at the bitterness.
Sichuan Girl too, face twisted, gave a thumbs up: “Ah~~ truly bitter dicine is the best dicine. Good stuff, another bag!”
Lin Mo: .
Wait, how could people change faces this fast?
A mont ago they mocked him for kidney deficiency, even getting scamd, and now, the second they heard it was prescribed by a dical professor, they imdiately switched faces, even robbing his dicine. Where was that disdain from just now?
Lin Mo dragged both cowards away from the fridge across the slippery floor, though they still clung tightly to the dicine.
Five minutes later, Lin Mo politely stood on the balcony making a call.
“Teacher, my roommates drank the dicine you prescribed , will that be a problem?”
“That’s good. Don’t worry, I won’t let them drink it again.”
“They… um… maybe they were just greedy.”
Lin Mo looked at the two bowing repeatedly on the sofa and told a little lie.
After all, these days young people stayed up late all the ti—who wasn’t a little weak? He didn’t have the heart to expose them. Their mouths were tough, but once they saw the prescription worked, they imdiately knelt.
“You said you’d let them co see soti? You can treat kidney deficiency?” Lin Mo just asked, and in the next second, the two of them moved in sync like Jaeger pilots in Pacific Rim, instantly sliding to their knees, palms pressed together.
Sichuan Girl: “Thank you, Doctor Li, please save !”
Wang Chu: “Thank you, Doctor Li, see first, I’m weaker than him!”
Sichuan Girl: “Shut up, I even pee with a split stream, I’m weaker!”
Wang Chu: “I pee in three streams, what’s that compared to you?”
Sichuan Girl: “Yours must be from a leaky ladle! Doctor Li, don’t believe him, look at first. I don’t even have a girlfriend yet, I’m insecure~~”
Wang Chu: “You’re practically Li Shiya already. What does kidney deficiency have to do with you? Doctor, see first, I really want a girlfriend, I’m more useful!”
Watching the two, who started off stubborn but were now competing over who was weaker, he felt like he was watching that scene in Flirting Scholar where they compared tragedies.
Seeing this, Lin Mo turned on speakerphone, and Professor Li’s voice ca through:
“Actually… you two can co together. I can’t treat you properly over the phone.
And, split urine stream doesn’t necessarily an kidney deficiency—it could be a prostate problem.
But the one with three streams, I’m rather curious. Of course, if it’s not from a leaky ladle, that is!”
Sichuan Girl: .
Wang Chu: .
Hearing this, the two instantly froze, suddenly realizing they might have revealed too much.
Looking up, they saw Lin Mo standing above them, full of mockery. At that mont, only one thought filled their minds:
‘Tired, let it all end!’
