I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 293 - 129: A Missed Opportunity with Supreme Techniques

"Old Lu, get up, pack up and let's go."

Since Lu Xuan was busy working on materials last night, he went to bed quite late, and now he's still a bit drowsy. Hearing someone pounding on the door, he instinctively picked up his phone to check the time, realizing it was only around six-thirty in the morning, leaving him speechless for a moment.

This guy must be waking up this early for the first time, right?

Back at Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ji Xiuwen was never this diligent. Lu Xuan had to call him several times just to go to the library every day. Did the sun rise from the west today?

The crucial point is, arriving at six-thirty, what time did he have to get up to make this happen?

From the Health Center to his place, it would take at least half an hour, over twenty minutes by cab, not to mention the time for waiting for a ride, possibly even longer.

Also, early in the morning like this, most drivers are probably still asleep, so taking a cab would take even longer.

He must have had to get up by five-thirty at the latest.

Even though it is still summer, the sky would only be slightly bright.

He might have gone out when the moon was still hanging high in the sky.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan became even more puzzled. Ji Xiuwen was being unusually diligent today.

But since he was here, leaving Ji Xiuwen outside was not an option. He didn't mind the noise waking him, but the left and right neighbors in the apartment? God knows if Ji Xiuwen kept knocking, whether a bro would come out with a cleaver to confront them.

So, Lu Xuan had no choice but to grumble as he got up to open the door for Ji Xiuwen, "Do you realize what time it is? This is an apartment, not a residential community. Aren't you afraid a bro will erupt with a cleaver when you knock so fiercely!"

"I got back late last night, so I thought I'd come over early today to help you pack up!"

Ji Xiuwen explained and reflexively glanced to the sides, only feeling relieved after making sure things were calm.

"I already packed yesterday, and besides, my scheduled moving service isn't arriving until nine. There's no point coming so early."

"I've never seen you this eager before."

"I just wanted to come early and bring you a steaming hot breakfast."

Ji Xiuwen said as he lifted the breakfast bag he got from McDonald's, "Saves you from going downstairs again."

"And from now on, leave this kind of grunt work to me. Your hands are meant for feeling patients' pulses."

Lu Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, but given that Ji Xiuwen went out of his way to bring breakfast, he let him in.

"Take a seat while I freshen up."

"Okay."

Ji Xiuwen was eager to get inside, mainly worried that the earlier knocking might have disturbed some bro in the apartment. Who knew if a bro, with women under each arm, would emerge with a cleaver to confront them later.

He's not afraid of confrontation, his mouth is quick enough.

But he's worried about that bro pulling a knife when words fail, physical altercations are not his thing.

Ji Xiuwen quickly secured the door, locking it up tightly, then placed the breakfast he bought on the table, giving it a glance, "This apartment isn't bad, quite clean, cleaner than my community, though it's a bit small and the ceiling isn't high, feels stifling to live in, not as comfortable as a residential community."

"No kidding, how much does your community cost per month compared to mine?"

Lu Xuan responded curtly from the bathroom.

"By the way, Old Lu, do you think there's a bro living here?"

"What? Are you scared? You didn't seem so cautious when you were knocking earlier!"

"Nonsense, I was worried you might not hear."

"Maybe. There might really be one next door, it's always so noisy every night, even into the late hours."

"The soundproofing is that bad?"

"It's alright, but it's right next door; even with good soundproofing, it's useless."

"That's true."

As Ji Xiuwen spoke, they were suddenly interrupted by a shout from outside: "Which good-for-nothing is banging on the door so early, crazy or what?"

After cursing, Ji Xiuwen seemed to hear the sound of metal clashing.

Ji Xiuwen instinctively shrank his head, "Oh shit, there's really a bro?"

"Scared?"

"Are you kidding, who wouldn't be?"

The two joked around for a bit, and once Lu Xuan was done washing up, he sat down at the table, "Did you eat?"

"Not yet, how could I eat before you?"

"That's ridiculous."

After breakfast, Lu Xuan was about to pack everything into the living room, so he could grab them more easily when it was time to leave.

Before he could do much, Ji Xiuwen stopped him.

"Godfather, I told you, let me handle the grunt work."

With that, he began moving things back and forth. Since he wasn't allowed to do any work, Lu Xuan just watched, and soon, Ji Xiuwen was panting with exhaustion. Lu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle, "You're really out of shape!"

Lu Xuan thought he'd make a joke and Ji Xiuwen would get embarrassed or something, maybe retort. To his surprise, Ji Xiuwen dropped everything and approached him directly, "Really? Quick, take my pulse, see if I need Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill."

They joked for a while, and before long, Ji Xiuwen had finished all the chores.

It's undeniable that while Ji Xiuwen was lazy at school, he could be exceptionally diligent and efficient when he was indeed diligent.

But the consequence of working like that was exhausting himself like a dog.

After a short break, Ji Xiuwen noticed the laptop bag Lu Xuan had placed on the table. It seemed to remind him of something, prompting him to ask, "By the way, Old Lu, I heard from Gu Huahua that you're applying for the Chinese Medical Science and Technology Award, is that true?"

"Gu Huahua told you guys?"
