Su Xueli was startled and quickly tried to play the fool: "When did I look at you? You didn't even turn around, how did you know I looked at you?"
"I have eyes in the back of my head."
"Hmph, bragging!"
Wei Mingshen turned around, looked down at her and said, "I'm not bragging. I trained in the army. I can sense whether there are people close behind me without turning around, and whether anyone is watching you."
Su Xueli's eyes widened. "Oh!"
Faced with her adoring gaze, he felt a surge of pride and began to tell her about his daily training in the army. The two of them strolled around the village for a long time, one talking and the other listening.
The two looked no different from any other loving newlywed couple.
To keep it a secret, Su Guojun and Liu Fengying arrived at the crack of dawn the next day, and Wei Mingshen and Su Xueli, still half asleep, followed them out of the village.
Su Guojun rode a bicycle with Liu Fengying on one side, and Wei Mingshen rode a bicycle with Su Xueli on the other. They were both preoccupied with their own thoughts and did not speak to each other on the way.
The elderly couple were focused on getting medical treatment, while the young couple, one thinking about how to fool the doctor and the other gloating and waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.
They finally arrived at the old Chinese medicine doctor's house, which was dozens of miles away. Although the four of them were all wrapped up like rice dumplings, their hands and feet were still freezing cold.
They arrived early, and there was no one in the old Chinese medicine clinic yet. The old doctor had a stove burning inside, and after he stoked the fire, he had his wife pour them some hot tea and have them sit around the stove to warm up.
Wei Mingshen couldn't sit still any longer and stood up, saying, "Doctor, I'm resistant to the cold and I'm not cold. Please treat me right away."
The old Chinese medicine doctor frowned as he looked at him: "You look perfectly healthy, what illness do you need?"
Wei Mingshen turned to look at his father-in-law, who had no choice but to get up and whisper to the old Chinese medicine doctor about his "illness"...
The old Chinese medicine doctor immediately became serious, asked Wei Mingshen to sit opposite him, placed his hand on the bag of rice husks, and carefully took his pulse.
Su Xueli stared at them with amusement.
The elderly couple, Su Guojun and his wife, stared nervously at the doctor.
After taking Wei Mingshen's pulse in both hands, the old Chinese medicine doctor said, "Young man, your pulse is neither floating nor deep, neither fast nor slow, with a steady and gentle rhythm. You have a very healthy constitution and should not have that kind of illness."
Su Guojun and Liu Fengying were immediately overjoyed, but then their faces fell into worry: their daughter said he really couldn't do it...
Wei Mingshen said, forcing himself to speak, "Doctor, I can't do it."
Then he looked at Su Xueli pleadingly.
She had no choice but to cooperate, saying, "Doctor, he really can't do it."
The old Chinese medicine doctor looked at the young couple, shook his head and said, "Then you should find another famous doctor. I really can't figure out the cause of the young man's illness."
Su Guojun panicked, "Doctor, please take a good look at me again. If you can't cure me, then no one can!"
Liu Fengying pleaded with a pained expression, "Yes, yes, please take another look. You are a legendary doctor in this area. If you can't cure me, where else can we find someone to treat me?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor was stumped. He looked at Wei Mingshen and asked seriously, "Is it an emotional problem? Are you too nervous?"
Su Xueli blushed and lowered her head.
Wei Mingshen, thick-skinned as ever, said casually, "I'm not nervous at all."
The father-in-law and mother-in-law also lowered their heads, awkwardly digging their toes into the ground.
The old Chinese medicine doctor sighed helplessly and said, "Then I'll prescribe some mild tonics for you. Take them and see if you feel any different. If you do, come back. If not, you don't need to come back. Go to a big hospital in the city for a checkup."
Su Guojun and Liu Fengying thanked the doctor repeatedly.
Wei Mingshen stole a glance at Su Xueli, and the two of them instantly chuckled.
