62: I'm not suitable for seeing your illness.

“This Dr. Qin, he cracks me up. Didn’t he just say not to hit people all the time?”

“It’s different. When parents hit, it’s a real hit. But when he hits, he’ll say it’s physical therapy.”

“Honestly, I didn’t expect Shu Ao to have no injuries at all after Dr. Qin hit him so hard just now.”

“Yeah, that boy was jumping around just now from the beating. If that was an act, the Oscar for Best Actor would definitely go to him!”

“Could it be that Dr. Qin knows some internal martial arts? Otherwise, this can’t be explained.”

“Don’t ask. If you ask, it’s medical skill. Just focus on watching.”

Under the threat of the feather duster, Shu Ao stammered out the truth.

“I… I actually just wanted Mom and Dad to spend more time at home with me.”

“Mom said before that if I became a ‘Three-Good Student,’ she would come back, but she didn’t.”

“Dad said that if I scored a hundred on my math test, he would come back, but he didn’t either.”

At this point, Shu Ao pouted, and large tears rolled down his cheeks.

“They’re all liars, they’re all lying to me.”

“So I… I also wanted to pretend to be sick. Would they then be willing to come back?”

“I didn’t mean to trick anyone at first; I just missed them too much.”

“I don’t want to be alone, boo hoo hoo.”

Shu Ao’s words silenced everyone.

They say there’s a special bond with grandparents.

But which Little Girl doesn’t want to be close to her own parents?

Grandparents are, after all, a generation removed.

If the gap between children and parents is a generation gap, then the gap between them and grandparents is a chasm.

Zhu Hong’s eyes were red as she hugged Shu Ao, sobbing.

Shu Chuan clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, not saying a word.

How could they not want to stay by Shu Ao’s side and watch him grow up?

But if they didn’t go out to work, where would the money come from?

“Son, Mom promises you, from now on…”

Zhu Hong couldn’t finish her sentence.

Given her family’s financial situation, could she really make such a promise?

But Shu Ao, being very sensible, used his sleeve to wipe Zhu Hong’s tears.

“It’s okay, Mom. I’m already very content with you guys accompanying me during this time.”

“You can work with peace of mind. I won’t do this again.”

Shu Chuan reached out and stroked Shu Ao’s head, silently saying nothing.

Liu Yan covered her mouth, crying inconsolably.

The netizens in the live stream were also deeply moved.

“This child pretended to be sick just to spend a few more days with his parents.”

“As happy as he was laughing just now, that’s how sad he’s crying now.”

“So, he could endure so much pain because he didn’t want to be separated from his parents?”

“Upstairs, that hit me hard. What good does it do you to make me cry to death?”

“I miss my parents too. When I was little, they went out to work, and I only saw them during Chinese New Year every year.”

“And even so, some people still owe migrant workers their wages. It’s truly despicable!”

Watching this scene, Qin Jiang also felt a lump in his throat.

He could indeed diagnose the cause with the help of the system.

But he couldn’t diagnose why Shu Ao did this.

If he hadn’t asked that extra question, Shu Chuan would probably have gone back and broken another belt, thinking Shu Ao was disobedient, and the family of three would have developed a rift.

“Dr. Qin, thank you so much.”

After composing themselves, Zhu Hong and Shu Chuan thanked Qin Jiang again.

Qin Jiang waved his hand.

“It’s nothing. In the future, communicate more with your child when you encounter problems, and don’t resort to violence easily.”

“We understand, Dr. Qin. We’ll remember that.”

“Wait.”

Seeing the family of three about to leave, Qin Jiang ran after them.

He handed the feather duster to Shu Chuan.

“If you really have to hit, use this. It won’t break.”

Shu Ao: …

Shu Chuan: …

Thank you, Dr. Qin, you’re really quite a good person!

After seeing off the family of three, Liu Yan was crying like a rabbit, her eyes red.

Qin Jiang burst out laughing.

This made Liu Yan feel a bit embarrassed instead.

“Alright, I won’t laugh at you anymore. I’m going in to prepare the medicine.”

Following the method given by the system, Qin Jiang found clean wooden sticks, gauze, and Chinese herbs, then made a sterile stick through fumigation.

As soon as he finished, a woman’s voice came from outside the door.

“Excuse me, is Dr. Qin in?”

Qin Jiang quickly walked out of the pharmacy and saw a boy and a woman standing outside.

The boy was dressed very trendy, like a Little Milk Dog.

The woman was dressed head to toe in designer brands, wearing large sunglasses, looking like a celebrity.

Qin Jiang wiped his hands with a towel.

“Who’s here for a consultation?”

“Me.”

The woman walked to the triage desk.

Before she even sat down, the boy quickly took out tissues, pulled out five sheets, and wiped the chair.

Only after confirming there was no dust on the chair did the woman sit down.

Qin Jiang was stunned for a moment.

What’s the use of just wiping it with paper?

If you really want to be clean, you should spray it with disinfectant.

However, Qin Jiang didn’t say anything extra; after all, it wasn’t his money being wasted.

“What’s your name, and what’s your ailment?”

The woman didn’t answer immediately but glanced at the camera.

“Are you live streaming?”

“Don’t worry, it will be processed and your privacy won’t be exposed.”

The woman seemed unconvinced. She raised her chin, and the boy immediately ran over to confirm it himself.

After seeing that the video and audio were indeed processed, the boy made an ‘okay’ gesture.

“My name is… just call me Jin Yu. And recently, I’ve been feeling a bit itchy, so I wanted you to take a look.”

“Which specific area?”

Jin Yu pulled down her collar, revealing a series of herpes zoster.

“Shingles?”

Qin Jiang recognized Jin Yu’s illness at a glance.

He frowned and reached out to take Jin Yu’s pulse.

“Doctor, what are shingles? Is it serious?”

“Yes, it’s serious.”

“Ah?”

Jin Yu panicked upon hearing this.

“Will it be life-threatening?”

Qin Jiang shook his head.

“It won’t be life-threatening, but if not treated properly, it can still cause harm to the body.”

As he spoke, Qin Jiang suddenly looked at Jin Yu with a strange expression.

“You probably have more than just this one illness, right?”

Hearing Qin Jiang say this, Jin Yu suddenly blushed.

“I… I do have another illness to see about, but I didn’t realize Dr. Qin, you’re a man.”

Qin Jiang froze.

What does that mean? With a name like mine, could I be a woman?

Jin Yu quickly waved her hands and said:

“Dr. Qin, please don’t misunderstand. I was recommended by an older woman.”

“That older woman knew about my situation, so I thought the doctor she recommended would be a female doctor.”

“She only told me at the time that your medical skills were good; she didn’t say you were a man, and she didn’t say there was a live stream here either.”

So, she was recommended by an acquaintance.

Qin Jiang nodded.

“It’s true that it’s not appropriate for a man like me to examine your condition.”

“However, your condition is already very serious. Even if you don’t get treated here, I still recommend you go to the nearest Hospital for a gynecological examination. You can’t delay it any longer.”

The Little Milk Dog standing beside her looked bewildered.

“Doctor, are you saying my girlfriend has a gynecological problem?”
