"Gone?" Chen Fan asked when the girl stopped talking.
The girl nodded confidently and pointed at Chen Fan proudly, "Your turn."
Chen Fan's expression gradually turned serious as he looked at the girl, not speaking in haste.
"I told you, my body is very healthy, you can't find anything wrong. If you don't want to lose too embarrassingly, just surrender quickly." The girl looked at Chen Fan's expression with a face full of mockery.
However, just as the girl finished speaking, Chen Fan sighed slightly and said in an educational tone, "Alas, girls, you should take better care of your health. With your physical condition, you dare to say there's nothing wrong? I really don't know where you learned your medicine from."
"What do you mean? You say I'm sick?!" The girl seemed a little displeased.
Chen Fan pointed at the girl's eyes, "Dark circles under your eyes. Although you've tried your best to cover them with eyeshadow, you still can't hide the melanin precipitation around your eye sockets, indicating that you suffer from insomnia and excessive dreaming, and have a lot of psychological pressure."
The girl quickly reached out and touched her eye sockets, frowning slightly. She had overlooked this point.
"Also, girls, you need to pay attention to hygiene and health. I assume you've been traveling with this old man every day and rarely pay attention to personal hygiene. Although you've sprayed a light perfume to mask body odor, the two smells mixed together are actually more unpleasant. Especially if you sweat excessively, leading to eczema, particularly in certain areas, which must be very troubling for you. Am I right?" Chen Fan said, glancing at the girl.
Hearing Chen Fan's words, the girl clearly became flustered, her face flushed red, and she instinctively crossed her legs.
"And athlete's foot. This is where I need to talk to the old man. When you bring your granddaughter out, you need to pay attention to her health. Walking so much, with worn-out shoes and sweaty feet, how can she not get athlete's foot."
The old man standing aside frowned and stared at Chen Fan with cold eyes.
"And hemorrhoids. Although they are internal hemorrhoids and not very serious, once these conditions flare up, they are even more painful, especially for girls."
"Enough!" The girl suddenly stood up from her chair, glaring at Chen Fan with angry shame.
"Why are you angry? I'm just stating the facts. How about I treat you? My medical skills are average, but I have a lot of experience treating minor ailments like yours." A smile curved Chen Fan's lips.
Hearing this, the girl's lungs almost exploded. She clenched her small, pink fists, wishing she could rush up and fight Chen Fan right now.
Ignoring Chen Fan any further, the girl, with a red face, turned and ran out of the Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic.
The old man glanced at the departing girl, his face grim. He cupped his hands in a salute to the old lady and Chen Fan, then also turned and left the clinic.
Seeing them leave, Chen Fan's lips curved upwards, and he stood up from his chair.
The old lady looked at Chen Fan with some surprise and asked, "How did you see that just now?"
She was very confused. Chen Fan hadn't studied Traditional Chinese Medicine at all, so how could he have diagnosed so many illnesses in the other party?
Furthermore, judging by the girl's flushed face, Chen Fan had spoken the truth.
But these illnesses, without examinations, could not possibly be diagnosed from pulse readings alone, especially hemorrhoids and athlete's foot. How could these be concluded through pulse diagnosis?
Qin Shuran also looked at Chen Fan, also puzzled as to how Chen Fan had diagnosed the other party with hemorrhoids.
Being scrutinized by his grandmother and Qin Shuran, Chen Fan gave an awkward smile and explained, "Actually, I was just guessing."
"Guessing?" The old lady clearly didn't believe him.
Qin Shuran certainly didn't believe him either. She knew Chen Fan's medical skills best.
Chen Fan explained again, "I saw beads of sweat on the girl's forehead and stains on her collar, so I thought she definitely hadn't bathed in a long time. Especially when she came in just now, the girl walked a bit unnaturally, and she had eczema on her neck. I thought it must be due to eczema."
"What about the hemorrhoids? When she came in, you immediately thought of observing her lower body and backside?" Qin Shuran's tone was somewhat angry.
"Nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids. I was really just guessing."
"Who would believe that." Qin Shuran rolled her eyes at Chen Fan and turned away, no longer looking at him.
"Then how did you see her athlete's foot?" the old lady asked again.
Chen Fan smiled, "Grandma, this is even simpler. Her shoes were broken, they smelled, and her toes were wiggling inside her shoes. Although the movement was small, I still saw it."
After hearing Chen Fan's explanation, the old lady revealed a kind smile, "You boy, you're quite observant."
Then she reminded him, " Hurry up and coax Shuran. If you observe other girls like this again in the future, I won't let you off."
Chen Fan looked wronged, wasn't he just treating patients?
However, from the old lady's expression, it was clear that she was very satisfied with Chen Fan's performance just now.
"I'm not that petty," Qin Shuran said, glancing at Chen Fan with slight displeasure.
Chen Fan gave an awkward smile, then looked at the old lady and asked, "Grandma, who were they? Were they really just after the prescription?"
The old lady looked towards the door, "Perhaps. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, many people are stubborn and obsessed with certain things throughout their lives, just like in academia. They want their legacy to last for eternity."
Chen Fan also looked towards the door, the image of the girl from earlier and the strange scene flashing through his mind.
After what had happened, the old lady gave up her primary consulting position for the day and sat to assist Chen Fan. She wanted to see how much talent Chen Fan truly possessed in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It was the first day of normal business, and there weren't many patients. However, regardless of the patient's condition, Chen Fan could quickly diagnose and propose treatment plans, even formulating corresponding prescriptions.
This left the old lady beside him somewhat dumbfounded.
Especially his decisiveness, seriousness, and composure when examining patients, which were unlike those of a young man in his twenties.
It wasn't until dusk that the old lady closed the clinic and went home.
However, as Chen Fan and the two women returned downstairs, Chen Fan suddenly remembered something. He said he needed to get something from a classmate and asked them to go back first.
Seeing the old lady and Qin Shuran go upstairs, Chen Fan turned and walked out of the dilapidated old residential area.
However, as he passed a small alley, Chen Fan suddenly stopped and said into the alley, "Come out. You've been following us all the way, aren't you tired?"
A moment later, a female figure emerged from the alley.
And this woman was none other than the girl who had competed with Chen Fan in medical skills at the clinic today.
"How did you discover me?" the girl asked, looking Chen Fan up and down with surprise.
Chen Fan did not answer, but instead asked, "Why are you following us? Shouldn't you be going to other clinics with your grandfather to challenge them?"
