Social Death Patient 016
Bai Jiesui placed her fingertips on the other person's pulse. She said nothing and lowered her eyes to take the pulse carefully.
Taking the pulse requires full concentration, so apart from asking about symptoms, Chinese medicine practitioners will basically not be distracted by talking.
But now they are recording a program, and the program needs to liven up the atmosphere. It is impossible for everyone to let the screen be awkward for several minutes.
Therefore, the other guests curiously leaned over to look at them and started chatting with each other.
"Xiang Mingxu, have you ever seen a Chinese doctor before?" someone asked.
"No, because I keep exercising, I rarely get sick. If I have a cold, I can just endure it for a few days and get better without taking medicine." Xiang Mingxu is very confident in his physical fitness.
He is the youngest among all the guests who know how to exercise, and he also likes exercise the most among all the young guests. His confidence is not without reason.
As they chatted, several people from their crew talked about some interesting things that happened during the filming of the new drama.
"Last winter, we were filming at a film studio. The temperature was minus seven or eight degrees Celsius. We were filming a water scene, and several people caught colds afterward. But Xiang Mingxu seemed to be fine the next day."
"It was very cold that day. I remember both of his assistants caught colds, but Xiang Mingxu was the only one who was full of energy."
Xiang Mingxu: "It's all something I developed when I was a trainee. We trained for fifteen or sixteen hours a day. After every session, I was exhausted and sleepy. All I wanted to do was take a quick shower and go to sleep. There were so many people in the company, and there were only public bathrooms. The queues for showers took an hour. To get an extra hour of sleep, I took cold showers. I took them no matter the season. It's become a habit."
He loves to talk about the hardships he went through when he was a trainee, and he has told every story over and over again countless times.
He has been talking about it for five years since he went solo, fearing that no one would know how miserable his life was in the small group.
But no matter how many times he says it, his fans still buy it.
I feel sorry for my brother. I can’t imagine how hard it is to take a cold shower in winter.
[This company is worse than a human being. They can't even afford to install a few more water heaters. I hope they'll go bankrupt soon!]
[Luckily, my brother had foresight and seized the opportunity to go solo. Otherwise, he would still be sucked dry by this rubbish company. These rubbish companies that profit from people's misfortunes will not have a good ending.]
[Without enduring the bitter cold, how can the fragrance of plum blossoms be so fragrant? Brother went through a hellish trainee life and acquired solid professional skills. It would be a shame if Brother didn't become popular!]
[Brother Hu Mo, we are such a dedicated and good brother, we will definitely get better and better and more popular]
Some people at the scene were hearing Xiang Mingxu's old stories for the first time, while others had heard them before and were now buying into them, pretending to be shocked.
But someone just wanted to sabotage him at this time.
Pick: "I've taken cold showers before. When I went to Russia to compete, they had a custom of taking cold showers outdoors in the winter. The other members of the team were afraid to go in, but I went in alone and soaked in the ice water for ten minutes. I did it three days in a row and didn't catch a cold once. I even won a championship."
Pick looked at Xiang Mingxu proudly, as if he wanted to surpass him.
He had long disliked Xiang Mingxu, thinking that he was a bit of a histrionic person and not honest. He didn't even dare to admit that he wore makeup. He was too pretentious.
And those few words he said before, pretending to care about Teacher Xiaobai, almost made him feel sick.
When Ke Wen heard about this for the first time, he asked, "You're taking an ice bath? Why are you taking an ice bath in Russia, for three days straight? Are you crazy?"
Pick cleared his throat and said something else: "Don't worry about it. This is called strategic ice water soaking. It's mainly used as a deterrent to make the opponent fear our strength before the game."
Ke Wen: “…”
It's obvious that there's something going on here, and he's unwilling to tell the truth.
Pick doesn't want to say it, but there are many people who know the inside story.
"How dare you say you took the ice bath voluntarily? Don't think we don't know. It was you who provoked your opponent backstage and got angry with your coach, so you took the ice bath outdoors."
[I also know about this incident. I heard from the accompanying staff that the coach said something in anger at the time, asking him to go to the ice to calm down his temper. Then this idiot actually went to soak in the ice water. His teammates on the shore said a lot of good things to persuade this idiot to come out.]
According to insiders, a certain idiot was frozen so cold that his face and mouth turned pale and blue when he got ashore, but he still insisted that he was not cold at all.
Xiang Mingxu's expression was subtle. He didn't believe that Pick really took an ice bath. Even if he really did, it would definitely not be like what he said, that he only lasted for ten minutes and soaked for three consecutive days.
Everyone is capable of exaggerating the facts, and he often adds embellishments to his stories.
Xiang Mingxu: "I've always wanted to try an ice bath. It's said that ice baths can improve physical fitness. I'll definitely try it when I have time."
As for when you will "have time", that is another matter.
They had been chatting for a while, and Bai Jiesui was still taking Xiang Mingxu's pulse.
Xiang Mingxu looked at the young Bai Jiesui and always felt that she was not as reliable as the old Chinese doctor, otherwise why would she wait for so long and still take her pulse.
Although her mosquito repellent cream is effective, it is an inheritance from her ancestors and has nothing to do with her professional ability.
Xiang Mingxu was getting impatient and urged her to hurry up and just take a look. Anyway, he didn't expect Bai Jiesui to be able to see anything.
"That guy..." When the words came to his lips, Xiang Mingxu couldn't remember Bai Jiesui's name and got stuck halfway through.
Pick was surprised: "How come you can't even remember Teacher Xiaobai's name? Can you remember the lines with your memory?"
"Why don't you talk less? Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Ke Wen kept winking at Pick, hoping that he would be more restrained.
He had heard about Xiang Mingxu's fans a long time ago. They were not a group to be trifled with. Pick's reckless remarks would easily lead to attacks.
Ke Wen's prediction was correct. Xiang Mingxu's fans were already scolding him for being uncultured, but Pick's fans were even more powerful. They collectively mocked Xiang Mingxu's fans for being ignorant.
How can you say he has no upbringing? Be careful he might come with a troll to steal your house.
[This is called lack of family education. You haven't seen P-God at full power, like a real Zaun orphan.]
Xiang Mingxu had a pleasant expression on his face: "It suddenly got stuck."
Then he looked at Bai Jiesui: "Teacher Xiaobai, I..."
"Okay, change your hand." Bai Jiesui suddenly interrupted him.
Xiang Mingxu reacted and then changed his hand.
"How long will I have to watch this..."
Bai Jiesui: "Don't talk yet. Open your mouth so I can see your tongue coating."
Bai Jiesui interrupted Xiang Mingxu twice, which made Xiang Mingxu's fans unhappy.
[She is so cold and indifferent, and she is so good at pretending. Even her brother speaks to her so gently.]
[I don't know why she's so arrogant. She actually dares to ignore her brother.]
[Is she trying to take advantage of my brother, so she keeps holding his hand?]
Even passersby couldn't stand the fans' outrageous remarks.
"You guys should be more normal. You can say taking a pulse is like holding my hand tightly. If I look at it for a second longer, will you say I'm having sexual intercourse?"
Fans judge others by their own standards.
[Of course, if my brother were to sit in front of me, I would definitely stare at him and hold his hand tightly.]
[Me too! I want to hold my brother's hand until the end of time!]
At this time, Bai Jiesui also finished taking Xiang Mingxu's pulse.
She didn't say anything for a while, picked up the handkerchief prepared beside her, and wiped her hands slowly.
"How is my physical condition? What results have you found?" Xiang Mingxu asked impatiently.
The main reason was that he was confident in his physical fitness and was eager to hear good results from Bai Jiesui.
Bai Jiesui wiped her hands carefully, folded the handkerchief slowly, and then looked up at him.
"I have the diagnosis results. You seem so anxious. What do you want to ask? I can answer the questions you're most concerned about first."
Xiang Mingxu leaned leisurely on the back of the chair. At this time, he did not forget to pose, facing the camera with his face tilted at 45 degrees, revealing the side profile that he was most satisfied with.
This caused his fans to scream excitedly outside the camera.
Xiang Mingxu still had that harmless demeanor: "I don't have anything to ask, teacher, just tell me what the diagnosis is and what my condition is."
Bai Jiesui glanced at the staff outside the camera, and finally her gaze returned to Xiang Mingxu.
She hesitated. "Can you tell me your diagnosis directly? Is there anything you should avoid?"
Xiang Mingxu didn't think there was anything he needed to hide. He was young and strong, and the worst that could happen was that he would get easily irritated, but he wouldn't have any terminal illness.
Xiang Mingxu smiled nonchalantly and said, "I don't have any illnesses that I need to avoid, so you can just tell me directly, Teacher."
After receiving Xiang Mingxu's affirmative answer, Bai Jiesui nodded.
"Let me first explain your situation. Your sleep schedule is extremely irregular. You often stay up all night without sleeping. Even when you do sleep, it's mostly in the second half of the night. Your sleep duration is short, significantly lower than the average sleep duration."
Xiang Mingxu didn't think this was a big deal, and was even a little proud of it.
"Filming is like this. To catch up on the schedule, everyone in the crew has to stay up all night. In the final stage of filming, the entire crew stayed up all night. The longest I've ever gone without sleep was five days.
This is another old topic of Xiang Mingxu's, I don't know how many hundred times he has told it.
Putting it into the current scene, it is surprisingly fitting, making fans feel even more sorry for him.
Our brother is really dedicated. In order to shoot a three-second shot, he reportedly stayed up all night, hanging on the wire.
[I cried my heart out. My brother's professionalism is absolutely the benchmark for the domestic entertainment industry. Everyone else should learn from him.]
Bai Jiesui ruthlessly exposed his lies: "Even when you're not filming, you stay up late a lot."
"I usually stay up late for a while to play with my phone, but young people nowadays rarely stay up late, right?" Xiang Mingxu said nonchalantly, then asked the other guests, "Don't you stay up late?"
Mia is an exception: "If I'm not live streaming, I will go to bed early. Staying up late is bad for my skin. I need to get my beauty sleep."
Gan Bo, a middle-aged man, can't stay up all the time. He goes to bed at a certain time because he is too old.
Except for the two of them, no one else stayed up late.
Zhuo Qi whispered that he would also play with his phone until late at night.
The internet-addicted teenager Pick didn't dare to speak, and Ke Wen, who often stayed up late to edit videos, remained silent.
Only Shi Yuanjie did not forget to establish herself as a dedicated person.
"When I'm not filming, I'm reading the script. I often get so engrossed in it that it's already too late when I come back to my senses."
Xiang Mingxu's brain was quick, and he followed up on Shi Yuanjie's words: "Working in our industry is very stressful. Even if we're not filming on set, it's still hard not to stay up late."
Bai Jiesui glanced at them one by one and asked, "You guys are going to read the script until three or four in the morning?"
Xiang Mingxu was a little surprised that she knew that he often went to bed at three or four in the morning.
Bai Jiesui: "Your body has been weak and your kidneys have been severely deficient recently. You must pay close attention and take proper care of yourself, otherwise your body will collapse very soon."
The last thing a man, especially a young man, should hear is that he has kidney deficiency.
Xiang Mingxu became anxious when he heard this and immediately retorted, "How could I have kidney deficiency? I'm in good health."
Bai Jiesui: "You think you are in good health, but that's just an appearance. In fact, your body is seriously deficient. I see that your steps are a little unsteady when you walk."
Xiang Mingxu listened to her in vain, and her fans disliked her even more.
[What the hell is she talking about? My brother was singing and dancing just now, and his breathing and dance steps were super steady. How could he be so lazy?]
[This is truly a third-rate Chinese medicine practitioner! If you don't understand, don't read it! You're wasting my brother's time, it's pissing me off!]
My brother is in very good health, not weak at all. Shut up, you third-rate Chinese medicine doctor!
[I really can't stand it. My brother can lift over 100 pounds in the gym. Who dares to say that my brother is weak? Can she lift 100 pounds like my brother?]
Xiang Mingxu found it funny: "I just stayed up all night, how come I have kidney deficiency and body damage?"
Bai Jiesui shook her head: "Staying up late is only secondary."
Xiang Mingxu gave a perfunctory "Oh", as if to see if he could come up with something more coherent.
Bai Jiesui didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "You've been being intimate with your girlfriend a bit too often lately, over twenty times a week. Although you're still young and easily stimulated by hormones, you should be mindful of limits and learn to control your impulses. If you continue like this without restraint, you'll eventually exhaust your body. In two years, when you're older, even if you want to, you won't be able to do it anymore."
She estimated Xiang Mingxu's age and gave him serious advice, "Adults have the right to sexual freedom, but they can't go too far. You're only twenty-five or twenty-six, still young, but you often need drugs to help you. If you don't realize the seriousness of this now, by the time you're twenty-seven or twenty-eight, it's likely to be even worse. You'll clearly feel your inability, and even drugs won't give you the hardness and endurance you desire."
There was silence at this moment.
Probably no one expected that Bai Jiesui would bring up such a sensitive and stimulating topic.
It should have been a bit awkward for a young girl like her to talk about such a private topic, but she was so professional and maintained a serious attitude from beginning to end, so the slight sense of awkwardness was not obvious.
No one at the scene dared to make a sound, whether they were the guests in front of the camera or the staff outside the camera.
There were people watching the show, and some were so shocked they didn’t know how to react.
Everyone knows that Xiang Mingxu is a popular male star who has a single personality. Bai Jiesui’s words just now cannot be said casually.
The two female guests, Mia and Zhuo Qi, both gasped silently and covered their mouths in surprise.
Shi Yuanjie and Gan Bo frowned unconsciously and looked at the white mustard spike inquiringly.
The two brothers, Ke Wen and Pick, exchanged glances with each other in private, completely playing the role of spectators.
Almost everyone at the scene, including the staff of the program team, had the same question: was Bai Jiesui exaggerating and deliberately trying to attract attention, or did she really know everything about Xiang Mingxu's situation?
A staff member curiously asked the director, "Director, is Teacher Xiaobai really that powerful? He even knows Xiang Mingxu's private life?"
The director wasn't sure either: "She did graduate from a medical university, and we've seen her professional qualification certificate. She should have the basic skills to practice medicine."
Staff A: "Can Traditional Chinese Medicine provide so much information?"
Staff member B: "The Chinese medicine doctors I've met are not good. They always say that I have heat and dampness in my body, but they see no improvement no matter how many times they see me."
Staff member C: "So what's going on with this Teacher Xiaobai? He can't be messing with Xiang Mingxu for no reason, right?"
Staff member D: "Do you want Teacher Xiaobai to continue? Xiang Mingxu's fans online are all very excited. His fans are relatively young, and each one of them is very motivated."
Xiang Mingxu's fanatical fans insisted that Xiang Mingxu was still a virgin and that Bai Jiesui was deliberately trying to be their brother's black fan.
Our brother blushes even when looking at girls, how could he possibly have sex?
[Brother has never been in a relationship, so where does his sex life come from? Haters are just trying to ruin our brother with just a mouth. Their intentions are simply despicable!]
Why are there always so many scumbags trying to frame our brother? I know that the more outstanding a person is, the more jealous they are. The haters just can't stand seeing my brother doing well.
[Xiang Mingxu, please clarify quickly. If you don’t, people will throw shit on you.]
The director glanced at the barrage and decided to wait a little longer: "Let's see what happens. If her diagnosis has no basis, we'll intervene."
Everyone looked at the two people in front of the camera nervously, mainly at Bai Jiesui.
Xiang Mingxu was very clear-headed and immediately denied it: "Teacher, you must be mistaken. I don't have a girlfriend at all."
Bai Jiesui was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
"It's the same with boyfriends. You also need to be careful and control the amount."
As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of the people present widened and they looked at Xiang Mingxu with a new perspective.
Even the director almost choked.
"You have a boyfriend?!" Pick exclaimed.
"No!"
Xiang Mingxu was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he had to try his best to control his emotions and respond as if it were a joke.
"Teacher, please stop joking. I have a normal sexual orientation. Even if I want to fall in love, I will find a girlfriend. Besides, I am single now. I don't take any medications, and I don't have any of the messy things you mentioned. I don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend."
Bai Jiesui said firmly, "You did. You two had sex three times last night with the help of drugs, and you didn't go to bed until three o'clock. You were together again at six o'clock this morning, twice more."
"You guys finished it hastily around 6:30." Bai Jiesui paused for a moment, resting his chin in thought. "You must have been interrupted suddenly, and you didn't react in time, causing your sensitive parts to be hurt. This sudden incident has greatly affected your mood. I could sense your inner anxiety when I took your pulse just now."
Xiang Mingxu was stunned, his mind went blank, the blood in his body flowed backwards, and he had no time to react.
Only Sol could share that chilling feeling, and his horror experience was a hundred times more intense than Sol's.
The staff outside the camera suddenly realized and excitedly discovered that they seemed to have learned a huge piece of gossip.
Staff member E: "Six thirty? Isn't that the time we have to wake up all the guests for our surprise shoot?"
Staff member F: "I still remember when I told Xiang Mingxu to get up, he looked very unhappy. The other guests allowed us to go into the room to film, but he was the only one blocking the door and wouldn't let us in. I thought he was just having a bad day, but it turns out he was hiding a mistress in the room."
Not only the staff on site can make inferences, but the online audience has even stronger reasoning abilities.
Xiang Mingxu posted a promotional Weibo post yesterday using his main account. Around 3:00 AM, he liked the comments section of his main account using his secondary account and replied to netizens. The production crew filmed a surprise shoot at 6:30 AM, so the timeline matches.
[He went to bed at three and woke up at six. Does that mean he only slept for three hours last night?]
If they were more particular and took a shower afterwards, they would have slept for less than three hours.
[I was wondering why Xiang Mingxu looked like he was being sucked dry so early in the morning. Turns out he really was. [Shocking]]
[Nah, the bags under his eyes when he opened the door this morning were like ghosts, and his fans still had the nerve to brag about his godlike looks. I almost died of laughter.]
[Three times at night, and twice in the morning. Is he so obsessed with his life that he doesn't even care about it? Isn't he afraid of sudden death?]
[Earlier he insisted that he wasn't wearing any makeup. If he didn't, how would his kidney-deficient face look?]
I was wondering why he couldn't lift an 80-pound actress. It turns out he's so young and needs drugs to get his act together. He's already become a weakling.
[I remember Xiang Mingxu always portrayed himself as a pure, single, and innocent person. This is a bit of a downfall, isn't it?]
Although Xiang Mingxu's fans tried their best to clarify for their brother, they were no match for the netizens who were only interested in watching the drama.
The fans’ clarification was quickly erased by the speed at which netizens were flooding the screen.
I don't care whether Xiang Mingxu's house collapsed or not. I just want to know, is Chinese medicine really that powerful? Can it know what someone did and what medicine they took at what time?
[This Xiaobai teacher speaks with reason and evidence, and does not seem to be making things up, and many details match up.]
[I also know that Xiang Mingxu's penis was broken. This is too unbelievable. As an aside, I don't know if it will affect the use of the function in the future.]
The details she described were truly terrifying. If the details of her diagnosis were true, I would call her a deity!
Bai Jiesui had no idea that her diagnosis had already caused a huge uproar online.
She is meticulous in her work and is still making the final diagnosis for the patient Xiang Mingxu.
"You don't have to worry too much. As long as you take your condition seriously, recuperate well, and abstain from sex for six months, your abilities will gradually recover. By then, you won't need medication anymore."
Xiang Mingxu couldn't hear what she was saying at all. He just felt cold all over and broke out in a cold sweat. Even the sensitive parts that he had touched in the morning were aching slightly.
His expression now looked even uglier than the A-share market that day.
