Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Susan finally spoke up.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything. But you have to keep it a secret!"

Qiao Ya and the other two nodded, and Susan continued, "Two months ago, it was Valentine's Day, right? That night, he brought me a bouquet of red roses, asked me out for a candlelight dinner, and wrote me a love letter to confess his feelings. I was touched by his romance, so I agreed to go to a hotel with him. I never expected to get pregnant. That's why my period hasn't come this month! Waaah, I'm doomed, what should I do?"

Susan panicked for a moment.

Li Yi sighed and said, "Talk to him properly. If he really loves you, he'll probably want the child. But your parents might not be able to accept it. Let's discuss it."

Susan was shy and somewhat at a loss.

However, after Li Yi took their pulses, Qiao Ya and the other three were greatly impressed by his medical skills.

"Senior, you're amazing! If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known about Shanshan's situation!"

Susan: "Actually, I was also wondering why I didn't get my period. I just went to the hospital two days ago and found out I was pregnant."

Qiao Ya: "Senior, you're amazing! You were only two months pregnant and you could still tell by taking her pulse. You're a miracle doctor!"

In Qiao Ya's mind, Li Yi's image immediately became even more impressive.

Who do medical students admire the most?

Those doctors with excellent medical skills are undoubtedly among them.

Li Yi's accurate pulse diagnosis immediately increased Qiao Ya and the three women's admiration and goodwill towards him.

Qiao Ya couldn't wait to know how she was doing: "Senior, it's my turn now, please take my pulse!"

Li Yi nodded, placed his hand on her right pulse point, and took her pulse for a full three minutes before switching to her left pulse point.

After holding her hand for another three minutes, Li Yi finally let go of Qiao Ya's hand.

However, some students from Chongqing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine saw Li Yi taking Qiao Ya's pulse and secretly took photos of it.

Some of these students recognized Li Yi and Qiao Ya from photos on the campus forum.

"Holy crap, isn't that that scumbag from Chongqing University? Qiao Ya went to bring him breakfast?!"

"Damn, I thought he was some kind of tough guy and I was planning to teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect his taste to be so bad, actually dating that ugly freak Qiao Ya!"

"You bet! Qiao Ya has such a huge red birthmark on her face, it scares me to death. How dare he pursue her? Tsk tsk tsk, his taste is really something else!"

Many boys look down on Li Yi, thinking he has terrible taste and that it's easier for him to succeed when pursuing girls who have no suitors.

Li Yi and his group of five were unaware of what was happening. They only knew that some classmates who had passed by were staring at them, and some were whispering among themselves.

After taking their pulses, Li Yi took out paper and pen and prescribed medicine for each of the three ladies.

As for Susan, who was pregnant, Li Yi naturally did not prescribe any medication for her.

The medicine Li Yi prescribed for Qiao Ya's two roommates, Sun Lan and Jiang Huihui, was just common herbal medicine, costing only a few dozen yuan per dose.

However, the medicine prescribed for Qiao Ya included not only common herbs such as safflower, Panax notoginseng, and Angelica dahurica, but also many expensive and precious Chinese herbs, such as Cordyceps sinensis and deer antler.

Moreover, Qiao Ya's prescription contains a full thirty-six kinds of Chinese medicine.

"This is the prescription for you, please take a look."

Susan and Jiang Huihui each took the prescription, looked at it, and found that it was similar to the treatment prescription recorded in the medical book, except for some differences in individual medicinal materials.

That was an improvement made by Li Yi based on the ancient formula.

Both of them were very satisfied after seeing it.

"Xiaoya, this is the prescription for treating your birthmark. Take a look."

Qiao Ya took it, and her three roommates also came over to look.

The prescription listed over thirty medicinal herbs, including some very expensive ones. The four girls frowned immediately and said, "Senior, why did you prescribe so many expensive Chinese medicinal herbs for Xiaoya? One dose must cost at least a thousand yuan, right?"

Li Yi: "Xiaoya's situation is different from yours. Her birthmark has been there for twenty years. It is not easy to completely remove these red pigments. Therefore, in terms of medicine, I used more precious Chinese medicinal herbs with better efficacy than those with the same effect."

"Oh! That's true!"

"This will definitely be more effective, but the treatment will certainly be very expensive!"

Qiao Ya was also troubled and said, "Senior, I don't have that much money to get the medicine."

Li Yi said, "Xiaoya, we are destined to meet. I will pay for the treatment of your birthmark, no matter how much it costs!"

"Huh?" Qiao Ya exclaimed in surprise, "Senior, how can this be? This won't do!"

Li Yi: "It's alright. If you feel uncomfortable about it, then let's make a gentleman's agreement. I'll help you get rid of the birthmark, and you can pay me back when you start earning money, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ya was overjoyed and said, "Okay! Don't worry, senior, I will definitely pay you back in the future!"

Li Yi: "It's fine whether you pay me back or not. Let's go to the traditional Chinese medicine shop to get the medicine!"

The five of them left the school gate together and headed towards the pharmacy.

There are many pharmacies in the mountain city, many of which are large chain pharmacies that sell both Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, as well as raw Chinese medicinal materials.

The five of them went to the pharmacy and got medicine for Susan and Jiang Huihui first. The total cost for the two of them was only a little over two hundred yuan.

When it was Qiao Ya's turn to get the medicine, the clerk was shocked when she saw the prescription.

"There's something wrong with your prescription."

Li Yi: "What's the problem?"

Shop assistant: "How can a prescription have so many kinds of herbs? Chinese medicines are all about mutual reinforcement and restraint. The fewer herbs used to treat a disease, the better. This is the first time I've seen a prescription with 36 Chinese herbs. With so many herbs interacting with each other, it becomes ineffective."
