Chapter 9

Morning.

Wang Cheng woke up Wang Yuanyuan, who wanted to sleep in, and the two siblings changed into loose clothing and went out for a run.

"I still want to sleep a bit more."

"Bro~~~~~"

"Bro~ You're bullying me..."

No matter what the little girl said, it was useless. Wang Cheng pulled her up, quickly tied her hair into a ponytail, and she reluctantly went out.

"I knew you would slack off when I'm not around. You haven't exercised for two months, right?"

Wang Cheng knew this girl well. She was exhausted after standing in a horse stance for two hours last night. He decided not to let her off the hook. From a young age, having a good body is the greatest wealth. After experiencing a life-threatening illness, Wang Cheng understood the importance of health the most.

Wang Yuanyuan pouted: "Hmph, you just find excuses to bully me. Others sleep until noon."

"Then go to their homes."

Wang Cheng responded immediately.

Wang Yuanyuan immediately fell silent: "Hmph, hmph!" She pouted and silently followed her brother, taking small steps. She knew that her body was now better than most of her male classmates because she had been exercising with her brother since she was young, so she couldn't find an excuse to argue.

"Remember to adjust your breathing..."

Wang Cheng reminded her: "Do you need me to teach you again?"

"No, I'm not that stupid."

Wang Yuanyuan said disdainfully: "These simple breathing patterns, I've memorized them long ago and maintain them every day."

This breathing method, which Wang Cheng learned from Li Lao's medical techniques when he was young, involves nine breaths, each with a different interval. Each breath increases the circulation of qi and blood, getting faster each time. The ninth breath can bring the circulation to a peak, and then it gradually slows down in reverse order. This cycle can keep the internal qi in a state of fluctuation, maintaining a balanced state of internal body function.

This breathing method is recorded in a medical book written by Zhang Zhongjing during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Wang Cheng, despite having a congenital heart disease, could maintain his health thanks to this magical breathing adjustment method, which kept the qi and blood in his body active and balanced, preventing the weakening of his heart from becoming fatal.

From then on, Wang Cheng realized that many of the treasures left by his ancestors could save lives, so he spent a long time studying ancient culture. He read through all of Li Lao's ancient medical books and understood them thoroughly.

Last semester, he went to Zangding Temple mainly because of the Daoist books inside, and secondly for the unique martial arts of Zangding Temple.

Panting...

The two siblings ran slowly on the small road, with Wang Yuanyuan taking small steps and moving slowly, so Wang Cheng also slowed down. Soon they ran out of the residential area and into a park.

"Xiao Cheng is out walking Yuanyuan again~"

A clear and pleasant laugh came from another path. Wang Yuanyuan immediately pouted and muttered: "You're the one who's a puppy."

The person who came was a young woman in a white tight-fitting sportswear. The tight white sports pants outlined her long legs, and the short-sleeved T-shirt was even more alluring. She ran over slowly, and each step made her chest bounce.

"Sister Le..."

Wang Cheng called out reluctantly and helplessly.

This woman was named Tang Lele, who lived in a nearby high-end residential area. She was only about 25 or 26 years old and came to run and exercise in the morning every day. Wang Cheng and Wang Yuanyuan often met her, and over time, they became familiar. They often joked around, and every time they saw Wang Yuanyuan obediently following Wang Cheng, they would say that Wang Cheng was out walking Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan was very unhappy, knowing that this was comparing her to a puppy.

Tang Lele, with her hair in a ponytail, had a beautiful face without any makeup, looking very fresh. She ran over, touched Yuanyuan's head, and said with a smile: "I heard from Yuanyuan that you went to be a Taoist on the mountain?"

Wang Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue. She had just said it casually, shook her head, and broke free from Tang Lele's hand, running to her brother's back.

Wang Cheng: "Being a Taoist? This little girl is just talking nonsense. I just went to work for three months, and it's almost over. I got injured yesterday, so I came down the mountain to rest."

Tang Lele was enlightened: "I see. Yuanyuan is still so young and has no one to take care of her. How could you become a Taoist? Besides, you're so talented, why would you become a Taoist, wasting your talent? Was it because the school expelled you?"

She knew that Wang Cheng often skipped classes and used all kinds of excuses to take leave. Eventually, he didn't even need to ask for leave, going to school when he wanted and not going when he didn't. The teachers in his class couldn't do anything about him. Wang Cheng was the top student in the city and was specially recruited by the city's No. 1 High School. If he were expelled now, it would quickly spread throughout the Jiangzhou education community.

A top student in the city, who became a delinquent after two years of education at No. 1 High School...

Such a topic would definitely be brought up, and No. 1 High School wouldn't want to lose face.

Therefore, even though Wang Cheng spent only a little over a month in class each semester, the school couldn't do anything about him. His homeroom teacher had already given up on him.

Tang Lele suspected that No. 1 High School couldn't bear it anymore and expelled Wang Cheng, as he didn't even take the final exam last semester.

"No, how could they expel me? I still want to apply to Donghai Fuling University. I'll work hard next semester and be the top student in the city again."

Wang Cheng said casually.

Tang Lele smiled and gave him a flirtatious look: "I don't believe you. Fuling University is not easy to get into. Only two universities in the capital can compare. I studied hard for five years to get in and then studied for another four years to pass the master's and doctoral exams. Who do you think you are?"

"My brother is better than you!"

Wang Yuanyuan said unhappily, her face full of disdain for Tang Lele: "I will be better than you in the future."

Tang Lele: "Oh, when did Yuanyuan become so capable? Come over and let your sister take a look." She reached out to hold Wang Yuanyuan's face, but Wang Yuanyuan quickly ran to the front to avoid this "female devil's" claws.

"Xiao Cheng, come over and stop. Let your sister check your pulse. Why are you still studying? Your medical skills are so good, why not just treat people? We study to get a good job and earn more money. Your medical skills are the best I've seen. Treating rich people once would earn more than I would in a year. Do you want your sister to find you a chance to earn money?"

Tang Lele pulled Wang Cheng and sat on a bench by the roadside, stretching her long legs.

Wang Cheng smiled bitterly: "At my age, who would believe me if I treated people? They'd think I'm a fraud, the least professional one. At least those who pretend to be traditional Chinese medicine practitioners would live for a few decades first. I haven't even done that."

"Your body is fine, right? Didn't I tell you some things to pay attention to last time? If you follow them, you'll be fine in two months."

Wang Cheng said, actually not wanting to check her pulse. Tang Lele extended her tender white arm, showing her snow-white wrist: "Let me check your pulse. I won't eat you. Many men would love to touch me, but they can't. You don't take advantage of this, are you a man?"

Well!

This sister is really bold, which is why Wang Cheng was cautious from the beginning. At his young age and lack of experience, he couldn't handle it.

"Sister, we're on the road. Can you be a bit quieter? I'll check your pulse."

Wang Cheng quickly surrendered, as several old people practicing boxing nearby were watching.

Wang Yuanyuan pouted: "I don't know who's taking advantage, hmpf, clinging to my brother."

Hearing this, Tang Lele blushed slightly, but didn't say anything, extending her arm to Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng carefully extended two fingers to her wrist, but after a second, he quickly pulled back, as if he had been electrocuted: "Sister Lele, you're really fine."

"Really fine?"

Tang Lele tilted her head and asked.

Wang Cheng nodded firmly: "You're fine. You're so young, and your body is generally fine. Last time, it was due to irregular diet and sleep. Once you correct it, you'll recover quickly."

Tang Lele nodded, accepting the explanation, and smiled: "I don't trust other doctors. Xiao Cheng, you're so talented, can you help your sister?"

As she spoke, Tang Lele grabbed Wang Cheng's arm and didn't let go.

Wang Cheng quickly pulled his arm away: "No, sister, just say what you need. If I can help, I will. There are many people here, don't do this."

"Hehe, so you mean it's okay in a place with fewer people?"

Tang Lele asked with a smile.

Wang Cheng smiled bitterly: "Sister, if you keep this up, I'll leave. I have something to do at Li Lao's place on the ancient street."

Tang Lele put away her smile: "Okay, I'll say it. My grandfather is not well. Your medical skills are so good, can you help me check on him?"

Wang Cheng frowned: "How old is Grandpa Tang?"

"Seventy-six!"

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's been unwell for a long time. Last month, he fainted and hasn't gotten out of bed since. The hospital said it's due to a cerebral hemorrhage causing hemiplegia."

Talking about her grandfather, Tang Lele's playful expression disappeared, and she looked serious: "Xiao Cheng, if you can cure my grandfather, I'll give you one million yuan as a consultation fee."

Wang Cheng raised an eyebrow, his face still calm. Tang Lele admired his composure. She had never seen a young person like Wang Cheng, who, despite a difficult family situation and a congenital illness, was never greedy or resentful, but worked hard to support himself and his sister. Over the years, she knew that Wang Cheng had done many jobs to earn money for himself and his sister. Now, facing one million yuan, he showed no emotion.

Sometimes, Tang Lele thought that if she had half of Wang Cheng's character, she might be even more excellent. Yes, she thought she was also very excellent.

Well, most women think they are excellent, or the most excellent!

But few women, like Tang Lele, think that a younger boy is more excellent than themselves, even if it's just in terms of character and composure.

If Wang Cheng's academic performance were better, he would surpass her completely.

"Sister Lele, cerebral hemorrhage is a serious condition. It's due to a ruptured blood vessel, causing blood to leak and block the brain's nerves, leading to hemiplegia... Do you believe I can do it?"

Wang Cheng smiled and asked, actually enjoying the feeling of being trusted and valued.

Tang Lele nodded firmly: "I definitely believe you. Last time, I was unwell, and I went to many hospitals and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but they couldn't help. You gave me two acupuncture treatments, and I was fine the next day."

Last time, it was just a simple case of hormonal imbalance causing irregular menstruation and insomnia. Such conditions usually take a week or two to improve with regular treatment. Wang Cheng's two acupuncture treatments made her feel better the next day, and she immediately had great confidence in his medical skills.

"Let's talk about it later. I'm going to find Li Lao on the ancient street. It would be best if you could find Li Lao to treat Grandpa Tang."

Wang Cheng didn't know Tang Lele's family background, but from her appearance, behavior, and the mention of a one million yuan consultation fee, he knew her family was not ordinary, either wealthy or powerful. He, a 17-year-old boy, getting involved could lead to a tragic outcome.

Wang Yuanyuan, who had always been at odds with Tang Lele, didn't want Wang Cheng to help her. She pulled Wang Cheng's hand and shook it: "Bro, I'm hungry."

Tang Lele quickly stood up: "I'll treat you to a meal, Yuanyuan. Tell your sister what you want to eat."

"I don't want to eat with you."

Wang Yuanyuan replied.

Tang Lele was immediately upset: "Yuanyuan, your sister hasn't bullied you."

"You have bullied me."

Wang Yuanyuan pouted.

Wang Cheng, seeing the two women glaring at each other, felt a headache and pulled Wang Yuanyuan toward the ancient street: "Sister Lele, we'll go first. If you want to treat Grandpa Tang, find Li Lao."

Tang Lele didn't want to let Wang Cheng go so easily. She came to the area every day during the summer, and today was the first time she caught up with him. If she missed today, she would have to go back to Donghai City for school in a few days, and she wouldn't know when she could see Wang Cheng again. Moreover, she had a mysterious confidence that Wang Cheng could cure her grandfather's illness, even though two famous doctors had already given up on him. She believed Wang Cheng could do it.
