Chapter 51 Cheating "I'll bring it out and compare it with yours later."...

What kind of restraint?

In what areas should Dr. Ke advise Yuan Kai to exercise restraint?

Everyone present was an adult, and for a moment, they didn't know whether to laugh or not.

Normally, if people can't hold back their laughter, they'll just laugh it off and move on.

The key issue is that the relationship among this group of people isn't particularly good; at least not to the point where they can joke around.

He Qiang wished she could reach out and cover Ye Hantao's ears.

This TCM doctor is something else; he says all sorts of things in front of them, which offends my junior sister's ears.

[Hahahaha, Traditional Chinese Medicine advises moderation, 100% hilarious! Everyone else's embarrassed expressions are in various ways, 100,000% hilarious!]

There's nothing that can be hidden from an old Chinese medicine doctor!

It's there with just a touch!

Yuan Kai glanced at the surrounding cameras, a fleeting look of panic in his eyes.

The only one who didn't react was Su Yi'ang, who had just received a few top-grade goji berries from Ye Hantao. He casually tossed the goji berries into the air and then tried to catch them with his mouth.

The attempt to show off failed.

Goji berries fell to the ground.

He bent down to pick up the goji berries when he heard Dr. Ke say something about moderation. Before his brain could process it, his mouth blurted out, "Huh? What's wrong with Professor Yuan?"

Others: "..."

Ye Hantao watched as he casually wiped the dust off the goji berries and put them in his mouth again. She opened her lips and replied, "Let's have sex."

puff!

Su Yi'ang spat out the goji berries he was eating before he could even swallow them.

Biu.

The bright red goji berries landed precisely on Wu Xia's forehead, looking at it at first glance like a touch of cinnabar on his forehead.

Wu Xia: "..."

Haha ...

A loud, boisterous laugh, accompanied by the crowing of roosters and the quacking of ducks in the courtyard, flew up to the pavilion.

Chen Xiaofeng had wanted to laugh ever since Yuan Kai was diagnosed with unrestrained sexual activity by the old Chinese medicine doctor, but Cheng Zhao had been holding his arm and forcing him to endure it until now.

Just now, Cheng Zhao's fingers suddenly loosened their grip.

Looking at Wu Xia's unfortunate state, he squatted down on the ground and laughed until tears streamed down his face. "You guys are hilarious, hahahahaha."

[Help!!!!]

【Ye Hantao, what's wrong with you?! You look like such a cute and gentle girl, but the first thing you say is "sex"!】

[Moreover, Ye Hantao spoke very calmly about sex, answering questions in a very ordinary way, hahaha.]

[They're seriously studying the law! They've read countless relevant cases!]

Indeed, Ye Hantao has seen no fewer than a hundred related cases since she started university.

Therefore, she answered Su Yi'ang's question normally.

Ye Hantao couldn't understand why Su Yi'ang would spit out goji berries after hearing this.

"Dr. Ke wasn't referring to telling Teacher Yuankai to be more restrained in his sex life?" Ye Hantao wondered if she had misunderstood Dr. Ke's meaning.

Chen Xiaofeng: "Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

Hahahaha—Ah!

Who kicked him?!

"..." Chen Xiaofeng didn't dare to find the culprit at all. With his face covered in soot, he scrambled over and patted Yuan Kai on the shoulder, "Big brother, I didn't know you were so amazing!"

As a result, everyone's attention shifted from Ye Hantao back to Yuan Kai.

Yuan Kai had a very gentle and upright appearance.

His first impression was that he was a nice guy. Looking at his physique, he wasn't the tall and strong type. Even Su Yi'ang, who didn't exercise often, looked more upright than him.

How could someone like this have such a strong sex drive?

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.

Dr. Ke had already withdrawn his hand. "The pulse is erratic, which should be due to overwork in the □ area."

"Dr. Ke, I've been rushing around lately, so I probably haven't been getting enough rest."

Yuan Kai had calmed down. Not only was he composed, but he also had the mood to joke, "Of course, my lover and I are indeed quite harmonious in this regard."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaofeng covered his cheek, his teeth aching.

Ye Hantao and Liao Jiayue both had strange expressions.

Ye Hantao thought of the scandal between the control group and Yuan Kai in the original work.

After the rumors surfaced, Yuan Kai immediately issued a statement to distance himself from the other party, while emphasizing that he and his partner have a good relationship and he does not want to be the subject of further speculation.

But she had seen the variety show that Yuan Kai took his daughter on. In the final season, the show invited the wives of four celebrity fathers.

She remembered some things that happened on the variety show, and with the reference of the original novel, she chose not to shake hands with Yuan Kai when they first met on the show, thus completely cutting off any trouble.

Liao Jiayue was thinking about Yuan Kai's reappearance in the book by the female lead's best friend.

He became popular again three years later.

His wife, exploited by her family of origin, attempted suicide but failed and fell into a coma, remaining unconscious for a long time. Yuan Kai cared for his wife day and night without rest, and was often seen on set in a state of despair and weeping.

Not long after, he became a sensation after playing a male lead with a revenge-seeking character in a suspense drama.

Yuan Kai was roused by this drama, and the first thing he did was to harden his heart and expose his father-in-law's family's various actions online to seek justice for his wife.

This incident led to most of his fans of the character being converted into fans of the actor, and the media also referred to it as the second spring of his career.

Liao Jiayue didn't know Yuan Kai's wife, nor was she interested in rescuing a complete stranger. What did it matter to her if the other person chose to act as a blood bank without resistance?

What was the name of the suspense drama that Yuan Kai starred in, as mentioned in that book?

When this drama is in preparation, given her status at that time, the script will likely be given to her first.

The female lead is also quite outstanding.

Yuan Kai looked towards the camera and said helplessly, "Wife, I really didn't mean to say it. Dr. Ke saw right through me."

[Okay, okay, after showing off your daughter, now it's time to show off your wife?]

[I'm stuffed from eating so much dog food in broad daylight!]

[Tsk, do you guys really believe he and his wife have a good relationship?]

[They have such a good relationship, how could his wife's face look so sour?]

[Yuan Kai's wife is an ordinary person; it's impressive that she can maintain that appearance at over forty years old!]

[Please! It's in her forties, not her sixties! My mom is fifty, but she looks younger than her :)]

I firmly believe one thing: a wife's good condition doesn't necessarily mean the husband's good condition, but a wife's bad condition definitely means the husband's bad condition!

Yin Danxi had just finished having lunch with her daughter Ruoruo when she opened the live stream and saw this content. Her face couldn't help but show an expression as if her eyes were dirty.

"Mommy, blow on it."

Yin Danxi hugged her daughter who ran over, her worried expression turning into a gentle smile, "What's wrong? What are you blowing?"

Ruoruo tilted her little face up and said, "Blow on my wrist, my wrist hurts."

Yin Danxi thought Ruoruo had bumped into something, so she quickly rolled up Ruoruo's sleeve to check, "Mommy, let me see if you bumped into something—"

"Mommy, it hurts." Ruoruo stretched out her two little hands to protect Yin Danxi's wrist, and lowered her head to gently blow on the large bruise on Yin Danxi's wrist. "Blowing on it will make it stop hurting!"

call.

Whoosh—whoosh.

Ruoruo puffed out her cheeks, her face flushed, and blew hard as if the harder she blew, the more the pain would fly away.

Yin Danxi stared blankly as her daughter blew on her wrist, a flicker of emotion appearing in her previously numb eyes.

She bent down and hugged her daughter, whispering, "Ruoruo, Ruoruo, Mommy will definitely protect you."

"I will protect Mommy too!" Ruoruo pointed to the images flashing on the screen, her round, grape-like eyes filled with nothing but the reflection of her mother.

She said in a soft, sweet voice, "I want to study law like Sister Tao Tao! So that Dad, who bullies Mom, won't have anything to eat!"

Yin Danxi was taken aback and turned to look at the screen.

In the live broadcast room, Dr. Ke was taking Liao Jiayue's pulse, and Ye Hantao was in line behind Liao Jiayue.

This is a little girl with two dimples when she smiles, and she is bright and beautiful, just like a blooming sunflower.

She couldn't explain her mindset when she brought Ruoruo to watch the variety show.

That day, when Ruoruo saw Ye Hantao mention studying law, she asked her if studying law was very powerful. She said yes, studying law could send people who bullied you to an empty room, lock them up, and not let them eat.

When Ye Hantao talked about the blond-haired boy who extorted money from her when she was in school, she told Ruoruo, "If anyone asks you for money in the future, don't be afraid, tell your mother."

Ruoruo: "Is it because Sister Taotao is studying law that those who bully her are locked up and starved?"

Yin Danxi: "Yes, because Sister Tao Tao is studying law."

It turned out that Ruoruo had remembered everything she had said.

Yin Danxi held back her tears and hugged Ruoruo tightly in her arms.

It will be soon.

Mom will be able to take you away soon.

Whether you want to study law or something else, Mom will support you.

In the live stream, the chat was filled with rapidly scrolling comments.

[Haha, the doctor told you to exercise more! Did you hear that?!]

Be careful of weight gain after age 30!

[I laughed at Ji Changtu, hahaha! Dr. Ke told him to prepare to go completely bald, hahaha.]

[I'm desperate! Even Traditional Chinese Medicine can't help me grow hair!!!]

Yes, yes! I read something about hair regrowth in a novel before, I think it involved using arborvitae leaves and something else, but I forgot. I'll look it up later.

[Acupuncture might also work!]

Dr. Ke took Liao Jiayue's pulse, and after a moment, he said, "You are quite healthy."

Liao Jiayue said thank you, not at all surprised.

The original novel never mentions that the female lead suffered from any serious illness. In the epilogue, it is briefly mentioned that when she was sixty years old, she won the Oscar for Best Actress twice, becoming the first person in Chinese film history to do so.

"But your pulse is wiry," Dr. Ke explained. "You probably overthink things, which has led to liver qi stagnation."

He released his hand and said earnestly, "You're so young, you should try not to hold grudges."

Liao Jiayue's expression remained unchanged, but she was quite dissatisfied inside.

Does this traditional Chinese medicine practitioner even know how to talk?

In front of the camera and in front of the haters in the live stream, if she says that she is overthinking and should not hold grudges, people will definitely say that she is scheming and petty if this gets out!

"Thank you for reminding me, doctor." Liao Jiayue smiled gently. "I always feel irritable and restless a few days before my period every month."

After saying that, Liao Jiayue didn't give Dr. Ke a chance to add anything, quickly got up and pulled Tao Tao to sit down again.

"Doctor, please take a good look at Tao Tao. When we were in school, Tao Tao often got sick and had to take leave."

Cheng Zhao had already approached, but upon hearing this, his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly.

His grandfather did mention that Tao Tao's health wasn't very good back then.

Therefore, the hypoglycemia last time was not a random, sudden event.

Dr. Ke had a high impression of Ye Hantao, mainly because this girl not only correctly identified the angelica root, but also listened very attentively when he was taking the pulses of others.

He felt quite accomplished that he didn't say what he should have said.

Dr. Ke first observed Ye Hantao's complexion.

It's not a sickly white or one that hasn't seen the sun for years, but a healthy, rosy, and luminous white.

She wasn't very thin; instead, she had a plump and light figure, and her blood and energy seemed abundant.

Ye Hantao often had her pulse taken at her great-aunt's house. She skillfully spread out her wrist and looked at Dr. Ke sitting across the table.

She wanted to see if Dr. Ke could diagnose any issues related to genetic diseases.

Dr. Ke reached out and felt Ye Hantao's pulse.

In an instant, several unmistakable gazes fell upon him, and his fingertips twitched.

He Qiang's expression suddenly changed. "Dr. Ke, is there a problem?"

Cheng Zhao also held his breath.

Even the usually carefree Su Yi'ang kept a close eye on Dr. Ke. Among all the guests, besides Wu Xia, whom he already knew, he was on good terms with Tao Tao.

"I just got on the bus." Dr. Ke glanced at them. "You guys be quiet."

Cheng Zhao loosened his grip on his hand, which had unconsciously tightened.

[For the first time in history, Dr. Ke has been surrounded and attacked from all sides, hahaha.]

[I understand Flash, it's for Ye Hantao's sake. Jin Shiyue is at odds with He Qiang, but Cheng Zhao... when did you get there?]

[After Ye Hantao finished, it was Chen Xiaofeng's turn. They both moved away. ==]

[Am I the only one who thinks He Qiang is overreacting? They've only known each other for one day, is it really necessary?]

"Is He Qiang really that serious?" Jin Shiyue wondered to herself, but then, thinking about He Qiang's experience learning to paint, she turned her face away.

In He Qiang's heart, her mentor, Jie Feihuai, was more important than her paintbrush, even more so than her family.

Jie Feihuai probably asked He Qiang to take care of Tao Tao, and He Qiang must also have the idea of ​​competing with her for the limelight!

He Qiang just couldn't stand her getting closer to Tao Tao. Don't think she didn't hear He Qiang telling Tao Tao to stay away from her.

While Dr. Ke was taking her pulse, Ye Hantao thought of something and said, "Dr. Ke, Jia Yue said before that she had bloating."

"It doesn't happen often," Liao Jiayue said without changing her expression. "A few times my stomach feels bloated, it's nothing serious."

Dr. Ke quietly took the pulse, and then replied, "Suppressing anger can easily cause stomach bloating."

Liao Jiayue: "..."

Old man.

After a moment, Dr. Ke withdrew his hand, a relaxed smile appearing on his face. "Your pulse is strong, your blood and qi are abundant, and your body is very robust."

Cheng Zhao pursed his lips and remained silent.

Ye Hantao has a history of hypoglycemia.

Ye Hantao also suffers from habitual insomnia.

This doctor is no good.

"Thank you, Dr. Ke," Ye Hantao said.

Ye Hantao was quite happy.

Since her condition has progressed to 90%, she has never experienced pain in her knees and elbows again. Even when it rained all day at home, she only realized that her elbows and knees didn't hurt after taking a shower at night.

Ye Hantao had a premonition that when the disease progressed to 70%, her shallow sleep problem might also be cured without medication.

The sun was setting in the west, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

In no time, Dr. Ke had finished taking the pulses of everyone else.

When it was Cheng Zhao's turn, Ye Hantao heard Dr. Ke say that he was very healthy and strong, and that Chen Xiaofeng should learn from Cheng Zhao and not exercise haphazardly, lest he get injured.

Chen Xiaofeng's lips twitched.

His training intensity is less than half that of Cheng Zhao's!

After taking the pulse, it's time for a mini-lesson in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Dr. Ke introduced the group to the identification of medicinal herbs, daily health maintenance, and some basic knowledge about acupuncture.

Ye Hantao: "Dr. Ke, can acupuncture promote hair growth?" She had seen neighbors come to her great-aunt for acupuncture on their scalps.

Upon hearing this, the group, including Dr. Ke, did not look at Ye Hantao who had asked the question; instead, they looked at the other person in the pavilion who had a need.

Ji Changtu: "..."

After a moment's thought, Dr. Ke said, "If combined with topical application, there is indeed a chance that it will stimulate hair follicles to grow hair."

Ji Changtu pricked up his ears.

"I met one of Professor Zhou's patients a few years ago. During his treatment, Professor Zhou used acupuncture to help him solve his hair regrowth problem," Dr. Ke said sincerely. "If you had seen Professor Zhou perform acupuncture, you would have been amazed."

Ye Hantao thought of the acupuncture she had done at her great-aunt's house.

Isn't acupuncture all about poking and prodding with needles?

What does the acupuncture that Dr. Ke described as amazing look like?

Thinking this through, Ye Hantao finally asked the question.

Although Dr. Ke was more than ten years older than Zhou Shumiao, he valued ability above all else. It was only because Professor Zhou no longer accepted apprentices that he didn't make three trips to seek out his master.

"I didn't bring my other phone with me today. You can come to my clinic in the next two days if you're free," Dr. Ke said with a smile as he packed his things. "I have Professor Zhou's entire acupuncture session recorded on my phone."

Liao Jiayue didn't forget to ask Ye Hantao, "Does Tao Tao's great-aunt also practice acupuncture?"

Ye Hantao nodded, "Acupuncture, my great-aunt has also done acupuncture on people's scalps."

“If you had ever seen my great-aunt perform acupuncture,” Ye Hantao confidently compared, “you would all be amazed!”

[Disease progression: 77.7%]

Come on, call your great-aunt over for acupuncture! There's a bald guy right here, isn't there?

[Are you haters crazy? Ji Changtu has mocked Ye Hantao several times. Why should Ye Hantao have her great-aunt come to give him acupuncture to promote hair growth?!]

[That's right, there's no cost to bragging anyway. I even said my grandma is Professor Zhou Shumiao!]

[You might as well say your great-aunt is Professor Zhou. It's all online; Zhou Shumiao never married and had no descendants, so she couldn't be your grandmother.]

Dr. Ke simply took Ye Hantao's praise of her relative and smiled good-naturedly, "Then I'll wait for you at the clinic. We'll compare our acupuncture skills then."

Ye Hantao readily agreed.

As long as you have thick skin, there's no such thing as social death.

At 2 p.m., Dr. Ke left the courtyard.

Ye Hantao opened the booklet provided by the production team. "The guesthouse we're staying in has three floors. There are three bedrooms on the second floor and two bedrooms on the third floor. The production team asked us to form our own roommate teams."

Kim Si-wol spoke first: "I'll share a room with you."

"No way!" He Qiang couldn't tolerate Jin Shiyue passing on the ways she learned in the industry to her junior sister. She walked up to Ye Hantao and said sternly, "Taotao and I are fellow disciples, we'll share a room."

Jin Shiyue laughed angrily, "He Qiang, when are you going to get rid of your habit of talking to yourself! Tao Tao and I agreed last time that we would continue to share a bedroom, and you're sharing with Tao Tao? Did you even ask Tao Tao's opinion beforehand!"

He Qiang: "Wasn't she tempted by you to agree to your request?"

Jin Shiyue: "What would I use to seduce you! My good looks!"

Help! You two look so familiar!

【What?】

[The emperor's concubines vying for his favor (doge.jpg)]

[Hahahaha, now I know how Ye Hantao solved it! Tonight she'll choose Consort Jin to sleep with her, and tomorrow night she'll choose Consort He to sleep with her.]

Are you guys trying to make me laugh to death? Hahaha.

Cheng Zhao saw Ye Hantao standing pitifully in the middle and was about to speak when he saw Ye Hantao slowly raise her hand, "I promised Sister Shiyue that I would stay in another room last time."

"Fine, if you want to live with her, then go ahead." He Qiang was unwilling to give up. "Don't agree to it again this time."

Ye Hantao stopped Jin Shiyue from arguing, "Fine!"

After resolving the initial conflict between Teacher He Qiang and Sister Shi Yue, Ye Hantao continued to serve as class monitor. "After we choose our roommates and rooms, pack our luggage and meet in the pavilion in thirty minutes. We will be setting off for Yushan shortly, so please don't be late."

On the way to the guesthouse with the group, Chen Xiaofeng was about to discuss with Cheng Zhao whether to choose a bedroom on the second or third floor when he turned around and saw that Cheng Zhao was not walking with them.

Aren't you leaving?

"You can choose the room directly." Cheng Zhao glanced back at the control room behind him. "I have something to do."

Chen Xiaofeng: "Where are you going?"

Cheng Zhao thought for a moment and gave him an answer.

After saying this, Cheng Zhao strode away in the opposite direction from the others.

Director Wan watched as Cheng Zhao walked straight towards him from the camera's viewpoint.

Soon, the person arrived in front of them.

This is their second-largest sponsor!

Director Wan took the initiative to greet him, "President Cheng, is there anything you need?"

"No need." Cheng Zhao's gaze was indifferent. "I'm here to investigate whether you've leaked exam questions and helped others cheat."

Director Wan: "..."

"It's not cheating, at most it's... a little bit of the investor's power."

"How many investments are there? Let me hear."

Director Wan spread his hands and made a five.

"Fifty million?"

"...five million."

Cheng Zhao: "".

He reached out his hand, "Give me the questions from the back."

Director Wan handed it over, asking, "Would you also like to see it in advance?"

Cheng Zhao was too lazy to look at it closely, and after a few strokes, he returned the notebook to Director Wan.

Director Wan, please take another look.

Well, the scope of the question has completely changed.

Ye Hantao was showing everyone around the rooms when she opened the door to the first bedroom and turned around to find that Cheng Zhao wasn't among them.

Ye Hantao waited for more than ten seconds, but still no one came.

Where is Cheng Zhao?

Chen Xiaofeng coughed lightly. "He said he had something to do."

"What's wrong?"

"He said," Chen Xiaofeng touched the tuft of hair at the back of his head, "that he was cosplaying a proctor?"

Ye Hantao: "???"

How come she, as the class monitor, didn't know there was an exam?

Ye Hantao stopped thinking about it when she couldn't figure it out. She would ask Cheng Zhao when he returned to the team. Right now, the most important thing was to show everyone the bedrooms before they chose one.

Ji Changtu felt extremely uneasy throughout the journey.

His eyes were either on the jade pendant on his wrist or on Ye Hantao and Su Yiang.

What's going on with these two? They kept asking him questions when he was wearing the fake jade pendant.

He borrowed a genuine jade pendant, and then stopped asking about the others?

"Cough cough—"

Ji Changtu coughed a few times on purpose, and then hurriedly withdrew his hand when everyone looked at him.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

“That’s why I don’t often wear genuine jade pendants when I’m out and about,” Ji Changtu sighed. “I’m not used to being carefree when I’m out and about; I can easily bump into something if I’m not careful.”

Su Yi'ang indeed came closer, "Boss Ji, is this your jade pendant?"

When classifying medicinal herbs, although he was in the same group as Ji Changtu, he figured that Ji Changtu could do the classification by himself, so he openly slacked off and listened to Yuan Kai next to him tell funny stories about his daughter.

Therefore, I never noticed the jade pendant on Ji Changtu's wrist.

Ji Changtu smiled faintly, "I have to bring it. The tea issue has already made netizens distrust the tea shop. I can't let my jade shop be questioned as well."

Even if it's true, I should still return the tea.

Don't just cancel your order blindly. Some bloggers have reviewed the tea and said the quality is quite good.

[Are we following the same blogger? The blogger I'm following claims that the tea he sells is only of a hundred or so yuan per kilogram quality, but he's selling it for several thousand!]

Ji Changtu called out to Ye Hantao, who was walking ahead, and said kindly, "I remember you have a glass Shoushan stone at home? You can come to my shop sometime and pick out a glutinous rice ornament. It will look nice when customers come to visit."

He had said similar things before, and even mentioned insider pricing. Ye Hantao actually said that the jade pendant he wore couldn't compare to plastic pink beads.

“Last time, the roly-poly toy misled you.” Ji Changtu held up his wrist, which was adorned with a jade pendant, to Ye Hantao. “Look at this genuine icy jade now, it’s definitely not inferior to your pink plastic beads, is it?”

Jin Shiyue's brow twitched when she heard the name "pink plastic beads."

Ye Hantao has no sense of direction and is concentrating on reading the booklet to avoid leading everyone astray.

Ji Changtu reached out and blocked the booklet, but she glanced at it distractedly and said, "It's more translucent than pink beads."

Ji Changtu smiled smugly.

Then, Ye Hantao bypassed him and went upstairs, saying, "But my glass Shoushan is more beautiful than your jade pendant."

[Disease progression: 77.4%]

Upon hearing that someone had provided feedback, Ye Hantao immediately stopped, turned around, and added, "I brought it with me this time too. I'll bring it later and we'll compare it."
