Social Death Patient 037
Min Wenlun put down his bowl and chopsticks as if he suddenly realized something and sincerely apologized to the program team.
"I'm sorry to have delayed everyone's filming schedule. I've already eaten, but I'm not sure if you guys have. I was a bit rushed preparing today, so I hope you can forgive me if I haven't been able to provide good hospitality."
Xu's father and mother also said a few similar polite words, the general meaning of which was that they were sorry for the poor hospitality and advised them to eat their fill so that they would have the strength to work.
All the members of the program crew were warmly received by Min Wenlun and Xu's parents. They were so grateful that they would never blame them for delaying the filming schedule.
They also observed the data. Although the popularity of the live broadcast could not catch up with the previous "Healthy Life", the data was still good. It was on the hot search list. The audience seemed to like watching pastoral idylls, so they could report to the higher-ups.
So far, the live broadcast effect of the first episode has completely exceeded Director Gao’s expectations. Following Min Wenlun is a big unexpected surprise that Director Gao received today.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries and the meal finally came to an end.
Min Wenlun took the responsibility of cleaning up the mess on himself, and naturally pushed his father-in-law and mother-in-law to take the lead.
"I might need you all to wait a little longer. I need to clean up the things on the table first. I have mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder and don't like a messy house. Otherwise, Teacher Xiaobai, please take care of it for my father-in-law and mother-in-law first?"
Xu's father and mother quickly snatched the dishes and chopsticks from his hands: "It's just a few bowls, we can clean them up, your work is more important."
A young man from the program team's logistics department and an assistant director also rushed to get involved in the work.
None of these people could compete with Min Wenlun, as Min Wenlun was very good at speaking.
He advised Xu's parents, "Mom and Dad, you're already busy enough at home. If I can't help you with anything when I come back, and you have to do even small things like cleaning the stove, then wouldn't my return be in vain?"
He then said to the production crew, "You all come here to work, and everyone has their own responsibilities. I also have my job, which is to perform well in front of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Don't take away my great opportunity to perform."
It only took him a few words to successfully send everyone out of the kitchen, and then he immersed himself in cleaning up the mess in the kitchen.
All the staff of the program team gave Min Wenlun a thumbs up and praised Xu's father and mother for their good luck.
"Your son-in-law is truly amazing. He can be described as perfect."
Mr. and Mrs. Xu are usually humble people. If someone praises them, they will definitely be polite. However, whenever they mention their son-in-law, they will not deliberately be modest on behalf of Min Wenlun. Instead, they will say good things about Min Wenlun.
"I dare say you won't find another son-in-law like Wen Lun even if you search with a lantern."
"Sometimes I think about how lucky our family is to have found such a good son-in-law."
A young girl of marriageable age in the group also said: "After seeing Teacher Min today, I feel that my standards for choosing a partner have been raised a lot."
Another female director agreed: "Compared to Teacher Min, my boyfriend is like a piece of human waste. I want to go back and kick him out."
Of course, this was just a joke, but it is undeniable that the only two young girls in the program team almost unanimously agreed that Min Wenlun was the perfect mate.
Except for White Mustard Spike, she did not express her opinion on this.
Perhaps everyone wants their opinions to be recognized by everyone, so the young director was very curious and turned to ask Bai Jiesui who was preparing to take the patient's pulse.
"Teacher Xiaobai, would you also like to find a partner like Teacher Min in the future?"
Bai Jiesui looked up suddenly and found that everyone was looking at her.
Then another girl in the group added, "Teacher Xiaobai, you should like someone like Teacher Min Wenlun, who has a good temper and a stable personality, treats the Yue family well, works hard, and is gentle and considerate. I think you would like such a person, too."
The director said, "That's for sure. Teacher Min Wenlun is probably the ideal partner for most people. He's a perfect hexagonal partner, so flawless that you can't find any flaws."
Another girl analyzed seriously: "Not necessarily. Maybe Teacher Xiaobai cares more about whether the other person can chat with him, so he will find an equally good Chinese medicine doctor."
"That makes sense, but that doesn't stop Teacher Xiaobai from lowering his standards for a partner. Can't he find someone who's not only skilled in medicine but also gentle and considerate like Teacher Min Wenlun?"
The two of them actually started seriously discussing what kind of partner Bai Jiesui wanted to find.
[Hahahaha, Teacher Xiaobai is confused. Didn’t I come here to expose the gossip? Why are you gossiping about me?]
[But I think their analysis makes sense. I'm also curious about what the TCM lady's criteria for choosing a partner are. Is it someone like me [dog head holding a rose]?]
[Don't just drink, take some cefuroxime. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Can you compare with me? [Sunglasses]]
Director Gao was very worried that Bai Jiesui was offended, so he quickly spoke up to stop her: "You two little girls, stop making trouble."
But Bai Jiesui really thought about this problem seriously. Although he looked confused just now, he was actually thinking.
She initially agreed with the two girls in the group: "A stable personality and a commitment to family life should certainly be a criterion for choosing a spouse. However, I believe a qualified husband shouldn't just satisfy his wife's parents and family. He should also maintain a strong relationship with his wife, because it's his wife he lives with, not her parents."
Her unexpected remarks caused an eerie silence for a second.
[I have never thought about this angle from Teacher Xiaobai’s perspective, but I have to say that this is indeed a question worth thinking about.]
I really feel this way. I went on a blind date during the Spring Festival, and my parents and relatives were all very satisfied with the man. They thought he had great qualities in terms of work, family, and personality. If I miss this one, it would be hard to find someone better. Now they are urging me to get married every day, without considering whether I like the man or whether I would be happy marrying him.
[In the final analysis, you are still too young. Marriage is not about finding feelings. Even if you have feelings for someone when you are dating, marriage will still be a mess. When the time comes, you will know how important it is to find a reliable partner to manage your marriage.]
You should be so lucky to have met someone like Min Wenlun. If you keep complaining, I'd say you haven't suffered the harsh treatment of society, or been cheated out of money or your relationship by a scumbag.
I disagree with Teacher Xiaobai's remarks this time. The discord between Xu Yanjin and Min Wenlun is clearly Xu Yanjin's fault. Why can't they communicate properly about something so serious? She keeps ruining other people's sincerity over and over again.
Unless Min Wenlun made a principled mistake, why would Xu Yanjin give Min Wenlun the cold shoulder? Even if Min Wenlun made a principled mistake, they can just get a divorce. There's no need to make everyone unhappy.
Xu's father and mother were the first to react and speak up for Min Wenlun.
Father Xu: "Doctor Xiaobai, you don't know my daughter. You don't know how strange her temper is. Her mother and I know everything about them. It's not Wen Lun's fault."
Xu's mother: "People often say it takes two to tango. Of the two of them, only Yanjin is at fault."
Bai Jiesui: "If the relationship between husband and wife is not good, there must be a reason. As parents, have you never asked why?"
Xu's mother: "Who knows what she's thinking all day? Sometimes you don't realize how outrageous her thoughts are. She even fabricated a plot against Wen Lun..."
Xu's mother was about to give a long speech to complain to her daughter, when Min Wenlun poked his head out of the kitchen.
"Mom, please stop talking about Yanjin. It's not good for her."
Xu's mother gave Min Wenlun a lot of face, but she still couldn't help but mutter, "You are the only one who is thoughtful and considers her in everything. Look at her, when has she ever considered you?"
"Mom..." Min Wenlun called her helplessly again, and Xu's mother finally stopped talking.
Bai Jiesui's gaze kept wandering between Xu's parents and Min Wenlun.
Ever since she came to the Xu family, she has been quietly observing the interaction between Min Wenlun and Xu's parents.
There was always something extremely uncomfortable about their interactions.
No matter what kind of person Xu Yanjin is, whether she is really a person with various problems as Xu's parents said.
But if your parents don’t speak up for you, but instead repeatedly belittle you in front of others and say you are worthless.
No one can stand such a family atmosphere.
It is difficult to evaluate Min Wenlun. I always feel that there are many contradictions in him.
His every word and action is indeed elegant and gentlemanly, his image is perfect, and he is thoughtful and considerate of everyone.
It can be seen from the degree of satisfaction that Xu's parents have with him that he has maintained the image of a fairy son-in-law for many years.
He is such a person who can take care of everyone's emotions and make everyone satisfied. There is no reason why he cannot maintain a good relationship with his wife.
Even if they have no feelings for each other, with Min Wenlun's social skills, they can still be ordinary friends, instead of having such a tense relationship between husband and wife like now.
This is the biggest contradiction in Min Wenlun.
Bai Jiesui felt that the answer to the question could only lie with Xu Yanjin.
She looked toward the stairs.
Unfortunately, Xu Yanjin was never willing to show up.
Bai Jiesui turned her head regretfully and saw a few unfamiliar faces coming in from outside the house.
Everyone was dressed casually and was around 50 years old. From their attire, one could tell they were residents of the area who had come out for a walk after dinner.
They poked their heads around and looked into the house curiously.
"Why are you here?" Xu's mother asked in surprise.
An older woman with a permed hair asked, "I heard from Xiao Min that you have some free rural medical services?"
The old man smoking a pipe asked, "If it's free, can you let us see it too?"
The woman knitting saw the PD carrying the camera and said in surprise, "Why are there still people recording you? Are you filming a TV show?"
"Isn't Xiao Min a TV star? It's normal for someone in your family to be filmed on TV."
When the nearby residents came, they started talking one after another, asking questions all over the place.
For a moment, the staff of the program didn't know whose question to answer first.
When Min Wenlun heard the sound, she rushed out without even taking off her apron, and explained to Bai Jiesui and Director Gao with an apologetic look.
"I met Aunt Zhang and Aunt Liu when I was painting the pavilion. They asked if we had any guests at home. I told them that Dr. Xiaobai's medical resources were going to the countryside and he would diagnose and treat our family for free."
Bai Jiesui felt that everyone was looking at her, and their eyes were complex and subtle.
Well, it was she herself who said that medical resources should be sent to the countryside.
Min Wenlun: "Aunt Zhang and Aunt Liu have been feeling unwell these past few days. I wanted to ask Dr. Xiaobai if he had time to see them, but I got so busy that I forgot. I also forgot to ask Aunt Zhang and the others not to come. Dr. Xiaobai, don't feel burdened. This is all my fault. I'll handle this for the residents."
The old lady stopped knitting and said, "Didn't they say that medical care would be provided to the countryside? We still need to make an appointment in advance?"
"Did we come here for nothing?" The lady with the permed hair looked disappointed.
Min Wenlun clasped his hands together and apologized repeatedly: "I didn't explain myself clearly, which led to misunderstandings. Doctor Xiaobai is not the kind of rural doctor you think he is. He is here to record the program and may not have time to see you. Please don't blame Doctor Xiaobai. What happened today is my fault. I will personally apologize to everyone another day."
The nearby residents were extremely reluctant, but they still had to give Min Wenlun face.
"If we can't see a doctor, we can always watch your TV shows, right?"
"I want to see it too. I haven't seen how it's filmed on TV yet."
Director Gao didn't know how to explain to them clearly that they were recording a program, not filming TV.
Bai Jiesui: "Everyone, come in. I have time now. I can check your pulse."
"Teacher Xiaobai, do you really want to take their pulse?" Director Gao frantically hinted to her to think twice and there was no need to feel any psychological burden.
He roughly counted and found that there were six people in total. Even if each person took up ten minutes of her time, that would be an hour.
"It doesn't matter. I can still watch the people present," Bai Jiesui said, glancing at Min Wenlun deliberately, "but if more people come later, I won't have time to watch them anymore."
Min Wenlun immediately understood what she meant and apologized repeatedly: "No more, no more, there is absolutely no one else behind. If anyone else comes, I will definitely help Doctor Xiaobai stop them."
Min Wenlun had not finished his work in the kitchen yet. Bai Jiesui was taking the pulse of a nearby resident, and Min Wenlun returned to the kitchen to continue cleaning.
While he was cleaning the kitchen, there was a PD following and recording him.
Because many netizens would rather give up watching Bai Jiesui diagnose their pulse and watch Min Wenlun clean the kitchen.
The more netizens see him, the more satisfied they are with him, and his perfect image becomes more and more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Min Wenlun came out of the kitchen. Bai Jiesui had already taken the pulse of the nearby residents and was now taking the pulse of Xu's mother.
The nearby residents praised her professional ability in taking pulses. When they saw Min Wenlun coming out, they did not forget to praise Bai Jiesui to Min Wenlun.
"This young Chinese medicine practitioner is quite impressive despite her young age. She even knew about my liver surgery a few years ago, where I had one-third of my liver removed."
"That's nothing. She even diagnosed my appendectomy over 20 years ago."
"I've been suffering from shingles for over a year. I've seen both Chinese and Western doctors in the city and taken tons of medication, but there's been no improvement. That girl just gave me a few injections, and it didn't take long. Now the pain in my chest and back is gone. I've never seen a doctor as skilled as her; she's got real talent. She also prescribed me some medicine, saying that if I take it consistently for a full course, my shingles will be cured."
"This girl is truly amazing! She even knew I ate two kilograms of durian yesterday and told me I have diabetes and can't eat durian."
"I was wondering why you went shopping alone yesterday. Turns out you went out to eat durian without telling me. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back."
On the other side, Xu's mother's diagnosis was also completed.
Xu's father and mother also praised Bai Jiesui highly.
"Wen Lun, Doctor Xiaobai is so accurate in his diagnosis."
Min Wenlun walked over and patted their hands, then politely asked Bai Jiesui about the situation of Xu's father and mother.
"Doctor Xiaobai, how are my father-in-law and mother-in-law? I hope they don't have any serious health problems."
Xu's mother said, "No, no, I'm fine."
Min Wenlun didn't listen to them and continued to wait for Bai Jiesui's answer.
Bai Jiesui said to Mr. and Mrs. Xu, "Your blood pressure and blood lipids are quite normal, but Uncle Xu's uric acid is a little high. You should pay attention to your diet in the future. For example, try not to eat the chicken soup and seafood on the table today. Aunt Qin's rheumatism is a bit severe and requires special treatment. I'll prescribe some medicine for you both later."
Min Wenlun rushed to ask, "Will my mother-in-law's joints no longer suffer from rheumatic pain in the future?"
Bai Jiesui: "Rheumatism is a chronic disease. Not only should we actively cooperate with treatment, but we should also develop good lifestyle habits to prevent it. Otherwise, we will still suffer from rheumatism in the future, and in severe cases, we may even become disabled."
Upon hearing this, Xu's mother did not rush to ask herself how to treat or prevent the disease, but immediately thought of her daughter.
"Yanjin also has severe rheumatism. When the weather is cold and gloomy, I often hear her complaining about joint pain. I'm going upstairs to ask Yanjin to come down. Doctor Xiaobai, could you please help take a look at our Yanjin?"
Bai Jiesui nodded: "No problem."
Min Wenlun stopped Xu's mother from getting up: "Mom, please sit down. I'll go up and call her."
Father Xu said considerately, "I'd better go. She'll listen to what I say a little more."
Just as several people were arguing, a cold voice was heard.
"Don't bother, I'm coming down."
Xu Yanjin appeared at the corner of the stairs at some point and was walking down slowly step by step.
She was wearing a casual business suit, exuding an aloof and cold temperament.
Min Wenlun ran to the stairs to meet her and asked with concern: "Yanjin, have you eaten the meal I brought to you? Do you want to eat something first? I'll go to the kitchen and make you whatever you want."
Xu Yanjin had a cold face, ignored him and walked straight towards Xu's father and mother.
The people at the scene fell silent unconsciously, watching Xu Yanjin approach.
Xu Yanjin's aura is just as rumored, making people feel difficult and hard to get close to.
The netizens in the live broadcast room and the staff on the scene couldn't help but feel their admiration for Min Wenlun rise to a new level.
He is really an amazing man to be able to live with such an indifferent woman and to be treated coldly by her day after day.
Just when everyone admired Min Wenlun's perseverance, Xu Yanjin walked up to Xu's father and mother.
Then she smiled at Bai Jiesui with pursed lips, and her arrogant and cold temperament softened instantly. Moreover, when she smiled, two dimples appeared on her left and right sides, adding a bit of sweetness to her cold face.
Xu Yanjin asked politely and gently, "Hello, Doctor Bai. I just heard you say that my mother has severe rheumatism. I've noticed this problem before, but I've never found a solution. I'm wondering how to treat my mother's rheumatism. What should I pay attention to in the future?"
Her voice was soft and gentle, with a unique charm of her own. Also, because she studied broadcasting and hosting, her pronunciation and accent sounded particularly comfortable.
Not only were the staff on the scene stunned, but netizens were also dumbfounded.
Xu Yanjin is so beautiful when she is normal, and her voice is so nice that it makes people unable to help but fall in love with her.
However, her good expression and soft whispering voice were only limited to when she was talking to Bai Jiesui.
After Xu Yanjin had carefully consulted Bai Jiesui about the treatment plan for rheumatism, she heard Min Wenlun speaking up for her and asking Bai Jiesui to take her pulse. Xu Yanjin's expression changed immediately.
She crossed her arms and replied in a stern voice, "Just take care of your illness and mind your own business."
Then he found a seat and sat down, no longer intending to pay any attention to Min Wenlun.
Min Wenlun smiled at everyone, and his helpless expression seemed to tell everyone that he was used to it.
[Good boy, I finally got to see Xu Yanjin's temper. When she gets this bad, I don't even dare to say a word when I get close to her.]
[Just now I was sighing at how beautiful Xu Yanjin was. I hadn't even finished appreciating her beauty yet, how come her expression changed so suddenly? Her temper is so unpredictable.]
Min Wenlun is definitely the strongest ninja in the world. He can actually endure this. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do that. I would have lost my temper a long time ago. He's like a person who doesn't know how to show disdain.
"Not taking action is already the greatest kindness I can show. From today on, I will respectfully address Min Wenlun as 'Big Brother' and learn the most powerful ninjutsu from him!"
Min Wenlun seemed to have a very good temper, and he wanted to do some ideological work on Xu Yanjin.
"Yanjin, it's rare that Doctor Xiaobai has time, so you can let her take a look at you."
Min Wenlun reached out to grab Xu Yanjin's hand, but Xu Yanjin quickly dodged it.
Xu Yanjin said irritably, "I told you to leave me alone. You don't understand me, do you?"
Across from her, she saw Xu's father and mother shaking their heads in disappointment at her.
Most of the residents nearby have watched Xu Yanjin grow up, and now they are whispering and talking about her.
She could guess what they were saying without even listening. She was tired of hearing these words. They were nothing more than accusing her of being ignorant and praising Min Wenlun for her good character.
Xu Yanjin also knew that she shouldn't lose her temper in front of the camera, as she would easily suffer losses if she did so, but she just couldn't control herself, unlike Min Wenlun who was good at disguising herself.
Min Wenlun was really mean. He knew exactly how she would react, but he still kept provoking her again and again, deliberately angering her and causing her to be blamed by everyone.
Even so, he had no intention of giving up and was ready to continue persuading Xu Yanjin.
Xu Yanjin was extremely annoyed and on the verge of exploding.
At this moment, Bai Jiesui suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Min, a good husband's basic virtue is to respect his wife's choice. Since Miss Xu doesn't want her pulse taken, you shouldn't force her, especially under the pretext of doing it for her own good."
Xu Yanjin's expression was stunned. In the past, whenever she had conflicts with Min Wenlun, her relatives and friends would always blame her, as if Min Wenlun was never wrong.
This was the first time she heard someone say that Min Wenlun's behavior was wrong and that he did not respect herself.
Because of this sentence, Xu Yanjin's nose felt sore and she even wanted to cry.
She bit her lip, lowered her head and tried her best to calm herself down.
Min Wenlun wanted to say something to defend himself, but Bai Jiesui didn't give him the chance.
"I was supposed to be taking your pulse, but we all went out to pick fruits and vegetables, and then you stayed to eat. Then a group of neighbors you invited over came over. The shoot, which should have taken an hour or two, ended up taking five or six hours..."
Bai Jiesui's brows furrowed tighter and tighter: "Are you afraid that I'll take your pulse?"
