121: Girl, please speak normally.
Young people nowadays are just spoiled, always claiming to have social anxiety at the slightest provocation.
Someone with true social anxiety struggles even to leave the house, let alone go shopping.
Qin Jiang wasn't about to indulge their bad habits, so he directly asked,
"Tell me, what's with this bad breath, and when did it start?"
Zeng Zhu was about to speak when Qin Jiang interrupted him.
"Shut up. Let your girlfriend speak."
Zeng Zhu wasn't the one who was sick; he couldn't just speak for her.
Helpless, Zeng Zhu could only say to Zhang Weiai,
"Baby, can you tell Dr. Qin when it roughly started?"
Zhang Weiai fidgeted, as if speaking to Qin Jiang was an incredibly difficult task.
She squirmed for almost half a minute, unable to utter a single word, though her facial expressions were quite rich.
Seeing this, Qin Jiang couldn't hold back.
"Are you going to speak or not?"
Hearing Qin Jiang urge her, Zhang Weiai finally managed to say, "I, I felt my mouth had a strange taste about four days ago."
The moment Zhang Weiai opened her mouth, everyone was shocked.
Is that a sound a person can make?
Qin Jiang said in a deep voice, "Miss Zhang, please speak properly. Don't speak in a falsetto."
Zhang Weiai looked very angry.
"I'm not speaking in a falsetto! This is just how my voice is naturally."
"Brother, tell the doctor, isn't this my natural voice?"
Zeng Zhu nodded seriously from the side.
"That's right, Doctor, my girlfriend has always had this voice."
Qin Jiang felt a headache coming on.
He now thought Zeng Zhu was sicker than Zhang Weiai; he really wanted to check his brain first.
Viewers in the live stream couldn't stand it and flooded the chat with complaints.
"Does anyone really have this voice naturally? I don't believe it."
"Falsetto, take a sword!"
"I just don't understand why more and more people are speaking in falsetto now. Does it really sound good?"
"Dr. Qin, quickly ask her if she just turned eighteen!"
The netizens naturally didn't believe Zhang Weiai's voice was natural.
They were well-informed; Zhang Weiai's little trick couldn't fool them.
"Are you sure you felt your mouth had a strange taste four days ago?"
"Mm-hmm."
Zhang Weiai, like a cartoon character from an anime, said earnestly,
"I kiss my brother every day, so I remember very clearly, it was exactly four days ago."
Qin Jiang felt his fists clench.
Diagnosing Zhang Weiai with that voice was simply torture.
Thinking of this, Qin Jiang said to Zhang Weiai, "Extend your hand. I'll take your pulse."
Zhang Weiai didn't suspect anything and directly extended her hand.
Qin Jiang gripped Zhang Weiai's wrist and then asked,
"After you discovered the bad breath, did you do any checks or cleaning?"
Zhang Weiai thought for a moment and then said,
"I... Holy crap, why did my voice change like this?"
The moment Zhang Weiai opened her mouth to speak, she found her vocal cords had suddenly deepened!
Zeng Zhu, standing by, was also bewildered; it was his first time hearing Zhang Weiai speak like that.
Qin Jiang calmly said, "This is your natural voice. You sound quite good without speaking in a falsetto. Why do you insist on making it so strange?"
Zhang Weiai tried to speak in falsetto again, but she found she couldn't find that voice no matter what.
It was then that she realized it must be because Qin Jiang was gripping her wrist, which was causing this.
This doctor has some skills!
The netizens in the live stream also burst out laughing.
"Major fail! She claimed her voice was natural, but now Dr. Qin has fixed her, hasn't he?"
"I don't believe anyone is born with that kind of falsetto voice. It just shows how many young people nowadays like to deceive themselves."
"Dr. Qin's move is amazing! Is that Acupoint Technique? I really want to learn it."
"Upstairs, why do you want to learn it? Is your girlfriend also a falsetto user?"
When her lie was exposed, Zhang Weiai was extremely embarrassed, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
The most pitiful was Zeng Zhu.
He genuinely believed Zhang Weiai's voice was natural; he had never doubted his girlfriend.
After taking her pulse, Qin Jiang released her hand and instructed,
"From now on, speak normally. Don't use that voice anymore, or I can't treat your illness."
Having witnessed Qin Jiang's ability, Zhang Weiai naturally dared not use that voice again.
She continued, "After my boyfriend told me I had bad breath, I brushed my teeth and used mouthwash. The situation improved, but the smell would return shortly after."
"What kind of smell is it?" Qin Jiang asked.
Zhang Weiai raised her hand, intending to remove her mask.
"Doctor, you'll know if you smell it."
My goodness, are girls nowadays so lacking in boundaries?
"Don't take it off. Keep it on."
Qin Jiang quickly stopped her, "You can just describe it to me."
Qin Jiang wasn't a masochist; he wasn't going to lean in and smell Zhang Weiai's bad breath when he already knew about it.
Zhang Weiai hadn't expected Qin Jiang to react so strongly.
She thought for a moment and then said,
"It's like the smell of rotting meat and fish. In short, it's very foul. When I smell it, I feel nauseous and want to vomit."
Qin Jiang secretly rejoiced, glad he hadn't let Zhang Weiai remove her mask, or he wouldn't be able to eat later.
"Do you have habits like staying up late or smoking?"
Zhang Weiai shook her head.
"No, my family rules are very strict. I go to bed at eleven every night and never stay up late."
Qin Jiang nodded.
His pulse reading for Zhang Weiai had indeed shown the same.
Seeing Qin Jiang writing and drawing on paper with a pen, Zhang Weiai asked, "Doctor, what exactly is causing my bad breath?"
Qin Jiang said, "If brushing your teeth and mouthwash don't reduce the bad breath, it indicates it's not caused by plaque."
"Do you have any mouth ulcers? Do you have periodontitis?"
Zhang Weiai shook her head.
"No, my teeth have always been very healthy. I just saw the dentist last month."
Hearing Zhang Weiai say this, Qin Jiang nodded.
"Then we can basically rule out bad breath caused by oral issues."
"Now we need to do an internal examination to see if the bad breath is caused by Helicobacter pylori."
Zhang Weiai shook her head and said, "We already had tests done at another Hospital yesterday, and neither of us has Helicobacter pylori."
Neither of them?
Qin Jiang frowned.
Just as he was pondering other possibilities, Zhang Weiai suddenly coughed violently.
Seeing this, Zeng Zhu quickly handed her a water bottle.
Qin Jiang asked, "Do you cough like this often?"
After drinking a sip of water, Zhang Weiai felt much better.
She explained, "Not really, it's just that my throat has felt a bit itchy these past few days."
Qin Jiang's spirits immediately lifted.
"I know what's causing your bad breath."
Zhang Weiai quickly asked, "What is it?"
Qin Jiang didn't answer but instead opened a drawer, took out a mask, and put it on.
