Chapter 144: The Great Crown Prince
A single phrase—“Yin-Yang Guardians”—completely shattered the two’s composure. They no longer cared about anything else and immediately surrounded Professor Li with all kinds of questions.
“Professor Li, is Old Mo suffering from Yin deficiency, Yang deficiency, or both Yin and Yang deficiency?”
“Doctor, is Old Mo more deficient than the two of us?”
“This guy often stays up late at night, hiding under the blanket to watch videos. As soon as we go over, he turns off his phone—he’s definitely watched some unhealthy stuff!”
“I even suspect he’s living off a woman. There’s no way he’s not deficient!”
Faced with their barrage of questions, Professor Li didn’t respond. Lin Mo, naturally calm and composed, didn’t seem flustered in the slightest.
His body had been fine before, but ever since he entered university and began staying up late frequently, it had gradually taken a toll on him.
Later, during his internship, not only did he stay up late, but the work pressure was heavy too, which caused his health to deteriorate even further. However, in recent months, he had already made up for a lot of that loss.
Whether through practicing the Fuyang Post every morning or taking Chinese medicine, he had been actively nursing his body back to health. It could be said that although he might still have a bit of Qi and spleen deficiency, his kidneys were definitely stronger than those two’s.
As for deficiencies elsewhere—well, so what? As long as the kidneys were strong, everything else could be accepted calmly. That was every man’s common delusion.
“Teachers, you should go back now. It’s so hot outside, there’s no need to see us off!”
Standing by the door, Lin Mo waved his hand toward the two elders.
It was just a brief visit, with Professor Li conveniently helping to adjust his condition. Naturally, they wouldn’t stay long—how could they linger until dinnertime?
So, after taking the pulse of all three and prescribing their formulas, Lin Mo led his group in preparing to leave.
“You child, stay a while longer! The teacher will make dinner right away. Have a bite before you go!” the Little Old Lady scolded.
Upon learning that Lin Mo would visit today, she had specially gone to the market to buy ingredients, intending to keep him for a meal.
“No need, teacher. The hospital will close soon—we have to hurry and get the medicine. Next time, I promise to come over for a free meal,” Lin Mo said with a smile.
The two elders were already quite old; having them cook for him felt almost sinful.
“Xiao Lin is right. Health comes first—go to the hospital quickly. Remember to take your medicine on time, and don’t neglect your studies,” Professor Li said from the side.
Professor Mu gave her husband a glare, but she knew he was right. She then said, “Alright then, you go handle your things first. Come have dinner with us when you’re free! We won’t keep you today.”
“Okay, teachers. We’ll visit again next time. Please go back inside—it’s too hot outside. Goodbye, teachers!” Lin Mo waved.
Next to him, Sichuan Girl and Wang Chu hurriedly chimed in:
“Goodbye, Professor Mu!” ×2
“Goodbye, Professor Li!” ×2
Although Lin Mo could call them “teacher,” the two still addressed them as “professor.”
Watching the three leave down the stairs, Professor Mu smiled and said, “Ah, youth really is wonderful—so full of energy. By the way, did our son and daughter say they’re coming back for National Day? Tell them to bring the grandchild too!”
“No news yet. I don’t know if they can make it. As for the kid, who knows where they’ll go during the holiday? Spending time with two old folks like us is no fun,” Professor Li sighed helplessly.
No matter how respected the couple were outside, it was true that their children rarely stayed by their side. Grandchildren would occasionally visit, but who would want to stay with the elderly for too long?
“You really plan to teach Xiao Lin medicine? He’s not even in the medical field. Even if he learns, can he really treat people?” Professor Mu asked.
She had long noticed her husband’s intentions. Though she verbally opposed him stealing her student, she never actually stopped him.
“We’ll see how far he can go. Besides, his massage and bone-setting skills are already quite good.
Even if he doesn’t end up treating patients, learning more won’t hurt,” Professor Li replied with a smile.
“Suit yourself. If Xiao Lin wants to learn, fine. If he doesn’t, there’s nothing you can do,” the Little Old Lady sighed and turned back to the bedroom.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo and the other two got in the car. Wang Chu and Sichuan Girl shrank into the back seat, speaking in an overly friendly tone:
“Old Mo, have some water!”
“Old Mo, when we get back to the dorm, how about I wash your socks for you?”
Lin Mo: →_→
“When someone acts overly nice for no reason, they must be up to something. Alright, out with it—what do you want?”
He knew these two shameless guys all too well. They wouldn’t be so humble unless they needed something.
“Ahem, well, Old Mo, can we just forget what happened today?” Sichuan Girl said with a fawning smile.
Wang Chu nodded repeatedly.
The reason was simple—when Professor Li had taken their pulses, he said their Qi and spleens were slightly weak, but their kidneys had almost fully recovered. He also praised them for maintaining regular habits lately, not watching unhealthy content, and not “doing it themselves.” Their kidney essence was intact, and he told them to keep it up.
While they were improving, the other two were completely exposed—wasn’t that basically handing Lin Mo blackmail material?
To save face among their brothers, they had no choice but to humble themselves. If Lin Mo accidentally let something slip in front of Miss Yuan or Class Monitor Wang Jing, how could they ever live it down?
“Hey, Guardians of Yin and Yang, don’t worry. With you two by my side—one Yin, one Yang—like a Taiji diagram, no demon or ghost can get close to me. Why would I ever tell anyone? I wish you’d stay this way forever, hahaha!” Lin Mo laughed heartily.
The thought of the two of them turning into a Taiji symbol from sheer deficiency amused him to no end.
The two clenched their fists in anger but still forced a smile.
Sichuan Girl unscrewed the water bottle and held it to his mouth. “Old Mo, don’t tease us. How long do you think it’ll take before we recover?”
“I don’t know. Didn’t my teacher say to take the medicine for a week first and then check again?” Lin Mo said after sipping some water.
Traditional medicine worked slowly—it was unrealistic to expect visible results in just a few days.
Hearing this, Wang Chu leaned forward from the back seat, massaging Lin Mo’s shoulders with a grin. “Old Mo, we’re brothers, right? Don’t worry—from now on, I’ll handle all the dorm cleaning and your socks. After a week, you’ll have to help us see Professor Li again, yeah?”
“I’ll also serve faithfully—running errands, pouring tea, washing feet, massaging you—whatever it takes!” Sichuan Girl pressed her palms together in mock prayer.
To that, Lin Mo laughed as he started the car. “Oh, don’t be so polite! Such great kindness—how could I ever repay it? Tell you what, if I ever become an emperor, Chuan’er, you’ll be my Great Crown Prince!
And Little Wang, you’ll be the Second Crown Prince!”
Upon hearing this, the two instantly became unhappy.
Wang Chu said, “Oh, come on now!”
Sichuan Girl snapped, “Yeah right, that’s nonsense!”
Wang Chu retorted, “I’m actually mad now—why does Sichuan Girl get to be the Great Crown Prince? Ridiculous!”
Sichuan Girl shot back, “What’s wrong with me being the Great Crown Prince, huh?”
Wang Chu sneered, “You’re practically a gender-bent Li Shiya—how are you qualified to be Crown Prince? Since when does a princess get the prince’s title?”
Sichuan Girl yelled, “Bullshit! I’ve been with Father for years—how dare a bootlicker like you speak up!”
As the two started bickering in the back seat, Lin Mo turned the steering wheel and drove straight toward the Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Just as they left, a black Magotan drove into the community. Moments later, Jiang Jianguo stepped out of the car and headed straight to Professor Li’s home.
