noon.
After lunch.
Su Zhengnan stayed with his teacher and chatted with his two senior brothers for a while, after which the two senior brothers had things to do and left.
After all, one is the vice president of the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the other is the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the First People's Hospital of Beijing. Even on weekends, they are not free. It is already the limit for them to be able to spare a morning to visit their teacher.
Inside the large courtyard, Su Zhengnan followed closely behind his teacher as the two strolled through the front yard.
As they walked, Gu Fangzhou suddenly turned to Su Zhengnan and said, "When you have time, remember to talk to your senior brothers more often. Don't always stay cooped up in your school clinic. Maybe I'll have to rely on you to carry on my legacy in the future."
"Oh, this..."
Su Zhengnan was stunned for a moment. He never expected that the person his teacher was thinking of as his successor was him.
But I'm just a school doctor right now!
As if seeing through his doubts, Gu Fangzhou smiled and continued, "Xiao Su, with your talent in traditional Chinese medicine, you can't be a school doctor forever. When you've figured it out, find another job!"
"Uh... okay!"
Su Zhengnan nodded blankly, feeling that what the teacher said seemed to make a lot of sense.
While it's true that his cheat system is tied to his identity as a school doctor at the Beijing Film Academy, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a school doctor for life.
Wouldn't that be a waste of one's medical skills?
Besides, he has a long life ahead of him, and he can't possibly live just for the system's cheat codes, right?
After understanding these principles, Su Zhengnan naturally accepted Elder Gu's meaning.
Perhaps one day he will truly inherit his teacher's mantle?
Su Zhengnan chatted with his teacher for a long time that afternoon, and didn't leave until after dinner.
To be honest, Gu Fangzhou was actually not very willing for Su Zhengnan to become a school doctor.
But since the other party insisted on going, he had no choice but to agree.
Originally, he wanted his close disciple to enter the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, starting as a regular outpatient doctor, and then guide him to work on several TCM projects, so that he could inherit his mantle.
However, it seems that this matter needs to be put on hold for a few more years.
.............
Under the cover of night.
Su Zhengnan didn't rush to take a taxi back to the Beijing Film Academy after leaving the courtyard. Instead, he strolled through the dark alley and slowly walked towards the street outside.
This is Beijing territory, so you don't have to worry about safety no matter how late it is.
Strolling through the dark alley, Su Zhengnan was preoccupied with his thoughts. He pondered for a long time the question his teacher had raised, but ultimately still couldn't come up with a definite answer.
He has no idea how long he will be stuck with this school doctor role.
A year?
Two years?
Or three, four, five, or six years?
Su Zhengnan felt that he really didn't need to stay at the Beijing Film Academy just for a system cheat, after all, a tree dies if it's moved, but a person thrives if they move!
However, there's no need to worry about these things for now, since he's doing quite well as a school doctor at the Beijing Film Academy.
As he strolled around, Su Zhengnan walked out of Luoguxiang Hutong, looked around at the bustling traffic on the street, hailed a taxi, and got in.
"Master, let's go to the Beijing Film Academy."
Su Zhengnan got into the car and told the taxi driver his destination.
"Okay, please sit down!"
The driver smiled and agreed, then stepped on the gas and drove towards the Beijing Film Academy.
Traffic in Beijing is heavier at night, so the driver didn't drive fast. What should have been a half-hour journey took almost forty minutes to complete.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan paid the fare, got out of the car, and walked into the gate of Beijing Film Academy under the streetlights.
When Su Zhengnan returned to the school clinic.
It's almost 9 p.m.!
Zhou Zixuan was sitting at the entrance of the school clinic, engrossed in a romance novel, completely oblivious to Su Zhengnan's presence.
"Hey, what are you looking at so intently?"
Su Zhengnan stepped forward, patted the other person's shoulder lightly, and asked with a smile.
"Ouch!"
Zhou Zixuan was startled, but after recognizing Su Zhengnan, she patted her chest and said:
"Dr. Su, do you walk without making a sound? You're trying to scare me to death!"
"I didn't mean to scare you. You were just too engrossed in watching it, so it's not my fault."
Su Zhengnan smiled and shrugged, replying as if it were none of his business.
Zhou Zixuan pouted and said, "Alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore. Dr. Su, have you had dinner yet?"
"Yes, I've eaten. Have you eaten?"
Su Zhengnan smiled and sat down on a chair to the side, chatting casually with the other person.
"By the way, where is that Doctor Sun? Isn't she here?"
"Oh, she's not here. She said she couldn't get used to sleeping in the dorm and went home."
Zhou Zixuan continued reading her romance novel without looking up as she replied, "Besides, no students came to see the doctor this Saturday and Sunday. They didn't even come to work. Why are you asking this, Dr. Su?"
Su Zhengnan looked up at the sky above him and said with a sigh, "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel that life is a bit too boring, and I don't know what I should do."
"Um?"
Zhou Zixuan blinked and looked at him, somewhat puzzled, "Dr. Su, why are you suddenly sighing? This isn't like you!"
Su Zhengnan smiled but didn't reply. The mindset of someone who had lived two lives was something the other person couldn't understand.
He didn't know how to tell others.
Suddenly, Su Zhengnan slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, I almost forgot that I still have Little Golden Pills drying upstairs!"
With that, Su Zhengnan got up and hurriedly ran upstairs.
With autumn fast approaching, we mustn't let the night dew soak the dried medicinal pills, otherwise their efficacy will be greatly reduced.
Tap tap tap...
Su Zhengnan quickly ran to the fifth floor, pushed open the dormitory door, rushed onto the balcony, and hurriedly put away the dried golden pills.
After two days of drying, the small golden pills are basically ready to be taken.
It seems like the lingering heat wave before autumn has arrived, so the temperature has been quite high these past few days, but it drops sharply at night.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan put the small golden pills he had collected into a bottle.
This is really good stuff!
Although the medicinal materials used to make this small golden pill are not particularly precious, the ancient formula is unique.
Therefore, the miniature golden pill he made was far more powerful than those available on the market.
