He ngxiang’s cough ca so suddenly, without any warning. Perhaps the flushing of her face was a sign, but no one could make the connection.
"Xiao ng, are you alright?" Chang Jiayan asked anxiously.
"Brother Tian, this is... not serious, right?" Liu Wenxing hesitated as he spoke.
He ngxiang couldn’t stop coughing and didn’t have any ti to answer Chang Jiayan’s question. Lin Tian just gave a reassuring look, signaling to Liu Wenxing to calm down and not be anxious, without offering any explanation.
He ngxiang coughed so much that tears stread down her face. Suddenly, Lin Tian shouted, "Wenxing, get a trash bin for her, quick!"
"Oh, alright." Although Liu Wenxing didn’t understand why a trash bin was needed, he ran to fetch the bin from the corner of the dormitory and brought it over.
But before he had ti to put it down, He ngxiang snatched it from him and continued coughing into the trash bin.
Suddenly, a lump of grayish matter coughed up from her mouth fell into the trash bin. Everyone craned their necks to see, and it turned out to be a clump of phlegm.
Looking at He ngxiang again, she had already stopped coughing. Although her eyes still bore the tearfulness from coughing, the redness on her face had receded.
"Are you feeling better now?" Lin Tian signaled Liu Wenxing to take the trash bin away and then said to He ngxiang.
Gently patting her chest, He ngxiang showed a look of surprise on her face. She excitedly said, "My chest doesn’t feel tight anymore, it feels like a stone that was pressing down on has been lifted. It’s miraculous."
"There’s nothing miraculous about it, as long as you pay attention to your rest and diet from now on, you shouldn’t have any problems before the college entrance exams," Lin Tian said casually, not finding it particularly miraculous, for to him, it was just a minor illness.
Of course, if other doctors misdiagnosed, a minor illness could likewise turn into a serious one. If the condition worsened and pathogenic qi invaded the lungs, it might even develop into pneumonia.
"Lin Tian, I felt that you were confident throughout the entire process. Could you explain the mystery behind it?" Principal Yan asked with a smile, his eyes filled with more admiration than before.
After previous incidents, he had already tried to estimate Lin Tian as highly as possible, but now he realized that he could not even begin to see the extent of Lin Tian’s abilities.
The things that happened to this student seed to indicate a possibility, as if there was nothing he could not do. A student who was only eighteen years old and had such profound Acupuncture Skill was hard to believe if soone told the story.
Lin Tian turned to look at the girls outside, each of them with gleams in their eyes. He knew that if he did not clarify everything, he wouldn’t be able to leave this "Silk Cave" today.
"Actually, what happened seems quite magical, but it’s quite simple when I explain it. Let’s go back to the first question I asked, you rember what it was, right?" Lin Tian asked directly.
"I rember Senior Lin Tian asked if the senior had been reading under the streetlights after lights out," a girl answered.
"That’s right. I had just looked over He ngxiang’s complexion and confird the cause of her illness. It was an invasion of wind-evil and heat-evil, causing sumr-dampness to stagnate within the body, turning into thick phlegm, which is why she felt tightness in her chest and short of breath."
"My question is easy to understand. Many senior three students read and review books outside after lights out, and at night, people are easily invaded by pathogenic factors. If you happen to have a weak constitution, you can catch wind-evil and heat-evil."
"The Acupuncture Skill I used on her Cizhuxue, Fengchi Acupoint, Zu San Li, and other points is to dissolve the damp-heat in her body, expel the thick phlegm, and the illness is almost cured. Just make sure to wear warm clothes at night, keep a regular schedule, and basically there won’t be any problem," Lin Tian explained in detail.
"Senior Lin Tian, it’s sumr now, do we still need to pay attention to wearing warm clothes?" a girl asked, puzzled. Not only her, even Principal Yan, soone with experience, didn’t understand Lin Tian’s words.
Lin Tian had to explain again, "It’s precisely because it’s sumr, when the temperature is quite high, the pores on the human body remain open for long periods. At night, even a slight cool breeze can easily allow wind-evil to invade."
"So, students who are still studying under street lights in the early morning, don’t try to stay cool. Don’t wear sexy clothes like tank tops or backless outfits. Even if you don’t catch a cold, it can attract perverts," Lin Tian said, half-jokingly, prompting a wave of girlish laughter.
"Could it attract Senior Lin Tian?" a bold girl flirted with Lin Tian.
Today’s girls are so bold, Lin Tian was helpless. To flirt so openly was too much. If they wanted to flirt, they should find a place with no one around, like renting a room or sothing, and then flirt. Wouldn’t that be better? Lin Tian thought shalessly.
But handling such a small flirtation was no challenge for Lin Tian, and he joked back, "My lady, it’s best not to wear anything too sexy in front of , I’m soone with poor self-control, and I might make a mistake."
This remark once again spurred the girls to giggle, but Principal Yan pretended to cough a few tis as a warning, lest the girls’ conversation beco too inappropriate.
"Lin Tian, why do I cough so badly at night when I sleep?" He ngxiang continued to ask.
"This is a question that I think many people have encountered. There’s generally no problem during the day, but when it cos to sleeping at night, the coughing becos severe. Why is that?" Lin Tian asked, leading the discussion.
No one could answer, and Lin Tian didn’t wait for them to think anymore. Instead, he said, "This is because, between 1 and 3 a.m., the qi and blood in the body are running through the Lung ridian of Hand-Taiyin. At this ti, the lungs start their self-detoxification, adjustnt, and repair. If there is accumulated phlegm or a pathology in the respiratory tract, coughing will occur, and it may be very intense."
"In a way, coughing is also a body’s stress response for self-detoxification, so, when we get a cold and cough, don’t think you are smart and go buy cough dicine on your own at the pharmacy, as it will only backfire. Even if you have to take dicine, you should choose expectorants, not cough suppressants. Rember this," Lin Tian said seriously.
"I didn’t realize there was so much intricacy to it, I wouldn’t have known if Senior Lin Tian hadn’t ntioned it," one girl said, suddenly enlightened.
"Alright, any other questions, ladies? It’s almost ti for the break, and I should head down," Lin Tian said, glancing at his watch. Since he had promised the Gate God Aunt, he had to follow through, otherwise, next ti he might really have to sneak in through the back door.
But it seed like the girls had no intention of letting Lin Tian leave. One girl said, "Senior Lin Tian, having listened to you, we’ve learned a lot. Why don’t you stay over for the break, or you can co to our dormitory. I’m in room 402 downstairs."
Damn, when won flirt, they are bolder than n. Lin Tian had to say, "Uh, my lady, I’m afraid I might commit a cri, better not."
"Cough, cough..." Principal Yan coughed a few more tis. If this flirting went on any longer, it wasn’t just Lin Tian who couldn’t handle it, Principal Yan would be the first to lose his composure.
He could only exercise the authority of the principal, waving his hand at the girls, "Classmates, disperse, don’t disturb the rest of the other students."
