Looking at his old comrade's expectant eyes, Old Master Bi couldn't bring himself to refuse. After all, he knew that Young Ye's health was Old Ye's biggest concern.
"Xiao Xing'er, come here!"
Just as he was enthusiastically chatting with the young man beside him about the clouds, Old Master Bi called him over.
"Take a look at this Grandpa Ye for me. Are there any problems with his health?"
"Oh~ Grandpa Ye, please extend your hand."
Hearing his maternal grandfather's words, Ji Xingmi sat down beside him and directly took Old Ye's pulse. The young man who had been sitting on the steps chatting with the person next to him saw this scene and, thinking something was wrong with his grandfather's health, walked over. Old Master Bi, seeing him approach, motioned for him to sit down as well.
Ye Yu softly thanked Old Master Bi and sat down next to him, looking nervously at his grandfather. Noticing that nothing could be discerned, he turned to look at Ji Xingmi, who was taking his grandfather's pulse, but he couldn't make out anything either.
"Grandpa Ye's body is just a bit depleted. You suffered injuries when you were young and didn't recuperate properly, so you must feel uncomfortable in rainy weather! You also have some liver fire, which is repressed in your heart. Grandpa Ye, you should relax more, don't push yourself too hard. After all, only when your body is well can you do more!"
Old Master Ye hadn't expected that this young girl in front of him could see his physical ailments. His hope grew even stronger.
"Then what should I do?"
"For your health, I can write you a prescription. But you also need to make up your mind."
Ji Xingmi had health-nourishing pills, but to avoid trouble, it was better to let him sort it out himself.
"Then can Xiao Xing'er take a look at this brother's health?"
Ji Xingmi didn't agree immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Old Master Bi. After the old man nodded, she let the young man extend his hand. Taking his pulse, she found a problem. Seeing her frown, Old Ye and Old Master Bi became increasingly nervous, especially Old Ye, who feared hearing bad news.
However, the young man seemed accustomed to this. He showed no reaction, merely watching the hand on his wrist. As soon as Ji Xingmi released his wrist, Old Ye hurried to ask.
"How is it? Xiao Xing'er!"
Ji Xingmi was filled with questions. This young man had been poisoned. But strangely, his body already contained a toxin, likely originating from his mother's womb. When the second poison was introduced, the two toxins surprisingly reached a balance.
"Grandpa Ye, do you have this brother's previous medical reports? Or diagnostic records? I'd like to see them! Also, please don't let anyone know about this."
"Xiao Xing'er?"
"What do you mean, could it be?"
"It's hard to say now. I need to see his previous examination reports. Is he currently undergoing traditional Chinese medicine treatment? Is it reliable? If it is, I'd like to talk to him to make a judgment."
"I'll have a guard fetch them and also invite Old Zhou over!"
"Who is Old Zhou?"
"Old Zhou is the master who has been treating my health. He was the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at the military region hospital before. His medical skills are excellent. But now, many people don't believe in TCM and choose Western medicine. Grandpa Zhou retired home to enjoy his old age. A year ago, Western medicine couldn't find the cause of my discomfort, only saying it was due to premature birth and poor recuperation. So Grandpa found Grandpa Zhou to help treat me."
"Mm! It must have been tough?"
"Mm?"
"Feeling unwell, but no reason could be found. To reassure your grandfather, you kept taking useless medicine. Seeing doctors again and again, only to be told that no cause could be found, that would be tiring, wouldn't it!"
"Are you really younger than me?"
Hearing this, Ji Xingmi almost spat out the water she had just taken a sip of. What was this guy's deal? She was just expressing sympathy, feeling sorry for him, and he was acting like this? Did he think she was old?
