156: Confident boy

When a patient came in, Qin Jiang immediately perked up.

"Hello, are you here to see a doctor?"

After the boy walked into the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, he first scanned his surroundings.

Upon seeing Zou Moli and Liu Yan, the boy was stunned.

He stood there dumbfounded, as if he had never seen such beautiful women before, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Seeing the boy's reaction, the netizens in the live stream immediately found it amusing.

"What's wrong with this kid? Is he dumbfounded by beautiful women?"

"Liu Yan is indeed beautiful, but it's too rude for this kid to stare so intently."

"He's clearly an inexperienced greenhorn. We have these kinds of boys at our school too; they talk big normally, but then they can't move when they see a beautiful woman."

Zou Moli and Liu Yan both frowned.

As women, they really disliked being stared at so directly by men; it made them feel very disrespected.

Qin Jiang tapped the table with his finger to bring the boy back to his senses.

"Are you here to see a doctor?"

Qin Jiang's words brought the boy back to his senses. The boy cleared his throat, put on a cold demeanor, and sat opposite Qin Jiang.

"Yes, I'm here to see a doctor. Recently, I haven't been sleeping well; I guess it's insomnia. Doctor, please prescribe me some medicine."

"Just insomnia?"

Qin Jiang was a bit puzzled.

If it was just insomnia, he could buy some sleeping pills at a pharmacy or go to a small clinic. Why did he have to come to him?

After all, there were many people queuing outside his clinic.

The boy explained, "My insomnia is quite severe. I can't sleep every night, sometimes I only sleep for a little over an hour a day, and I wake up very easily."

Qin Jiang inquired, "How long has this situation been going on for you?"

The boy thought for a moment.

"Since late February this year, for about a month."

Continuous insomnia for a month, and only sleeping for a little over an hour each day, that was indeed very serious.

Qin Jiang looked at the boy's face again and saw that his dark circles were already very heavy, which indicated he wasn't lying.

Qin Jiang asked the boy to register his personal information, then used the internal medical network to check the boy's past medical records.

The boy's name was Fang Hao, and he was quite healthy, with no underlying conditions.

After Fang Hao finished registering his personal information, Qin Jiang continued to ask, "Are you under a lot of academic pressure recently?"

Fang Hao scratched his head.

"I'm a vocational student, so I don't have any academic pressure."

Qin Jiang nodded immediately, indicating that he understood.

Most students and teachers in vocational schools were just coasting along.

As long as students didn't do anything too outrageous and followed the school rules, they were essentially there to date.

As for final exams, cramming at the last minute was perfectly enough to pass. The questions were simple anyway, and some subjects even had open-book exams.

Even if you failed, to ensure the graduation rate, teachers would turn a blind eye and help you out.

So, in such a school, there really wouldn't be any academic pressure.

Qin Jiang then continued to ask, "Have you experienced any mental stimulation recently? For example, related to your family."

If there was no academic pressure, then it could only be family pressure.

Who knew Fang Hao said nonchalantly, "No, my family never bothers me. I can do whatever I want outside, and they give me a thousand yuan living expenses every month."

As he said this, Fang Hao secretly glanced at Zou Moli and Liu Yan, as if observing their reactions.

Fang Hao's gaze was caught by Qin Jiang, and Qin Jiang immediately felt puzzled.

Buddy, you don't think a thousand yuan a month for living expenses is a lot, do you?

From your tone, it sounds a bit like you're showing off, doesn't it?

"Extend your hand, I'll take your pulse."

Seeing that Fang Hao had no academic or life pressure, Qin Jiang was a bit unsure where the problem lay.

Generally speaking, insomnia was caused by endocrine imbalance, extreme mental tension, or fragility.

In Chinese medicine, this was called 'restlessness of the mind'.

If the mind was restless, one couldn't sleep well, and their mind would be filled with random thoughts.

However, it was quite difficult to find the cause of such mental problems through pulse diagnosis.

Sure enough, after Qin Jiang took Fang Hao's pulse, he found that apart from a bit of excessive liver fire, he had no other ailments.

This was actually quite normal.

Nighttime was when the liver regulated qi and detoxified; if one didn't sleep well, naturally the liver wouldn't be in good condition either.

"So, Doctor, can you tell what my illness is?"

Qin Jiang shook his head.

"It's not yet possible to determine exactly what your illness is."

As soon as Qin Jiang finished speaking, Fang Hao immediately pouted.

"I specifically came to see you because I saw online that you're very skilled. I waited in line for so long outside, and you still can't tell what my illness is."

Fang Hao's tone was very impolite, and the netizens in the live stream immediately got angry.

"This kid is a bit arrogant, is he looking down on Dr. Qin?"

"I feel like this kid is a bit chuunibyou, as if he's deliberately saying this in front of Zou Moli and Liu Yan."

"Now that you mention it, I feel it too. This kid is so pretentious, like he's trying to deliberately attract attention."

The netizens' speculation proved correct.

Fang Hao seemed not to care at all whether his insomnia could be cured. He looked directly at Zou Moli, who was standing nearby, and said, "Beautiful lady, Dr. Qin isn't cutting it. How about you help me take a look?"

Everyone around felt that Fang Hao was simply crazy.

His emotional intelligence was too low.

Do you just directly say that Dr. Qin isn't good enough?

But Fang Hao didn't feel there was anything wrong with his way of speaking. Instead, he showed what he thought was a charming smile and continued to flirt with Zou Moli.

"I think my insomnia might be an emotional problem. I often ponder philosophical questions alone late at night. Beautiful lady, do you have any research on philosophy? Do you know what the ultimate three questions of philosophy are?"

Fang Hao's words completely stumped Qin Jiang.

Fang Hao even gave Qin Jiang the illusion that this wasn't a Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, but some bar.

And Fang Hao was specifically there to pick up girls.

Zou Moli was naturally not interested in a boy like Fang Hao.

She said indifferently, "I'm just an assistant doctor. My skill is not as high as Dr. Qin's. If you want to see him, see him. Otherwise, you can leave now."

Hearing Zou Moli's response, the netizens burst into laughter.

This Zou Moli really had the same temper as Qin Jiang.

Fang Hao didn't feel embarrassed by Zou Moli's obvious rejection. Instead, he said narcissistically,

"Women these days, they all say one thing but mean another."

As soon as he heard him say that, Qin Jiang immediately had a clue.

"I think I know what your illness is."
