36: Know what's wrong with you

He held the thermos, and a burst of hot air hit his face.

Dong Han fell silent.

Qin Jiang explained, "To prevent the temperature from dropping, I specifically put it in a thermos. Master Dong, drink it while it's hot."

Dong Han looked at Qin Jiang with complex emotions.

You're actually quite a good person.

Seeing that Dong Han still hadn't started drinking, Liu Yan asked curiously, "What's wrong, Master Dong? Is it too hot?"

"If it's too hot, then don't drink it."

Liu Yan wasn't being sarcastic; she was genuinely worried that Dong Han would get burned.

But to Dong Han, those words were an insult!

Moreover, Liu Yan was a beautiful girl; if she looked down on him, how could he, Dong Han, face anyone in the future?

A true man drinks when he says he will!

Dong Han picked up the thermos and started drinking.

Just like the first time, Dong Han didn't drink it easily this time either.

His lips trembled, and his expression became even more pained.

A minute later, Dong Han finished all the water in the thermos.

However, at this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and the sweat on his forehead mixed with the tears at the corners of his eyes, making him look incredibly pitiful.

But even like this, Dong Han didn't forget to tip the thermos upside down to prove he had drunk it all.

And Dong Han even let out a 'ha' sound, as if he had just finished a refreshing glass of ice Sprite!

At this point, Gao Yang also noticed something was off and said, "Master Dong, it looks like you're still feeling a bit uncomfortable drinking this time?"

As soon as Gao Yang finished speaking, Dong Han pulled out a tissue, pretended to wipe his nose, and then quickly explained, "No, it's not that. It's the steam from the water; it's so hot on my face."

Perhaps Dong Han felt that his reason was very reasonable, so he casually wiped the sweat from his forehead with the tissue, and finally wiped his eyes.

I'm not wiping tears; I'm wiping steam. That's perfectly reasonable, right?

Hearing Dong Han say this, Qin Jiang couldn't help but shake his head.

Stubborn!

His mouth was truly stubborn!

This was the most stubborn patient Qin Jiang had ever seen.

That was 88°C water!

At least if it were Qin Jiang, he admitted he couldn't drink it.

Dong Han, with bloodshot eyes, looked at Qin Jiang, his voice a little hoarse.

"Dr. Qin, have you figured out what my illness is now?"

Qin Jiang didn't rush to answer Dong Han, but instead asked, "When did you first discover that you weren't afraid of hot things?"

As soon as Dong Han heard Qin Jiang say this, he immediately perked up.

Because since Qin Jiang asked this, it was equivalent to Qin Jiang indirectly admitting that he wasn't afraid of hot things!

Dong Han cleared his throat and began to recount his glorious deeds.

"Oh, it's nothing much. I used to be an electrician, and about a year ago, I was repairing an electric meter for someone and accidentally got electrocuted and flew back."

"I was in the Hospital for three months and only woke up with great difficulty."

"After I woke up, I discovered I had this special ability."

The more Dong Han spoke, the more pleased he became, and the reporter Gao Yang also diligently took notes.

Isn't this just the typical protagonist template of a web novel?

First, he suffers hardship, then he overcomes it and awakens a special ability.

Perfectly reasonable!

Dong Han continued, "Later, when I was drinking water at home, I found that I wasn't afraid of hot things anymore."

"Not only am I not afraid of hot things, but I've also become addicted to drinking boiling water. If I don't drink it for a day, I feel uncomfortable all over, and nothing tastes good."

While Dong Han was speaking, Qin Jiang unexpectedly came out of the room again, carrying a very strange kettle.

Gao Yang quickly asked, "Dr. Qin, what kind of professional equipment is this?"

"Oh, it's a high-pressure kettle. I bought it when I traveled to the plateau before, and I didn't expect it to come in handy this time."

"Master Dong, you two continue talking. I'll be done in a few minutes. The water boiled this time will definitely meet the requirements."

Dong Han's face turned pale, and he felt somewhat sweaty.

High-pressure kettle?

Huh?

Who would have something like that at home normally!

Soon, Qin Jiang's water was boiled.

Qin Jiang measured the temperature with a thermometer—97°C!

Qin Jiang said with some regret, "It's a pity, I still can't reach 100°C. Master Dong, please make do with this 97°C water."

Dong Han was so scared that his legs trembled slightly.

Liu Yan was also a bit worried and asked, "Dr. Qin, this is 97°C water after all. Will a person be okay drinking it?"

Qin Jiang smiled and said, "This water only looks dangerous; in fact, it's not safe at all."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

But they quickly felt that something was wrong.

What does 'looks dangerous, but is not safe at all' mean?

Isn't that just stating the obvious?

Qin Jiang was too lazy to explain so much and directly poured the water into the thermos, handing it to Dong Han.

"Master Dong, drink slowly, no rush."

Dong Han was almost crying out loud.

Could he dare not drink this 97°C water slowly!

Dong Han hesitated, after all, drinking 97°C water was no joke.

What if someone died?

Who knew that at that moment, the kind-hearted Liu Yan spoke again.

"Master Dong, if you feel you can't drink it, then don't drink it."

Liu Yan's words instantly enraged Dong Han.

"What do you mean, 'can't drink it'? You, young lady, are so young and yet you don't know how to speak!"

Liu Yan: ...

Although Dong Han was provoked by Liu Yan and lost his temper, he drank exceptionally slowly this time.

Everyone else thought Dong Han was drinking very painfully.

But Qin Jiang explained thoughtfully from the side, "Perhaps this hot water is too delicious this time, which is why Master Dong is drinking so slowly. Please understand, everyone."

With Qin Jiang's explanation, everyone suddenly understood and applauded Dong Han, cheering him on.

Three minutes later, Dong Han barely managed to drink that delicious boiling water.

At this moment, Dong Han was already in tears, unable to force a smile, and directly put on a mask of pain.

Qin Jiang walked over.

"Come, open your mouth, let me see."

Dong Han endured the pain and opened his mouth.

After looking, Qin Jiang said, "Now we can draw a conclusion. This is oral scalding caused by drinking boiling water. Look, there are blisters on your tongue, and probably in your esophagus too."

Dong Han: ...

Gao Yang: ...

Audience: ...

Devil!

So this is how you diagnose illnesses?

Dong Han now wished he could strangle Qin Jiang.

He kept saying he couldn't tell what his illness was before, but it turns out it was because the water temperature wasn't high enough and hadn't caused blisters, right?

Dong Han was about to argue with Qin Jiang, but who knew Qin Jiang said with a half-smile, "Master Dong, do you still think you have superpowers now?"

"If you still think you have superpowers, I have another kettle of boiling water, and we can take our time with the diagnosis."

As soon as Dong Han heard Qin Jiang say this, even someone as stubborn as Dong Han conceded defeat.

"No, no, I'm just an ordinary person, no superpowers."

Dong Han had given in, but Gao Yang still refused to give up.

"That's not right, Dr. Qin. If Dong Han doesn't have superpowers, how did he drink such scalding hot water?"

"Even if he's just enduring it, that temperature isn't something an ordinary person can tolerate, is it?"

Dong Han looked at Gao Yang, waving his hands repeatedly.

"Don't say it, please don't say it."
