The temptation behind gentleness

Chapter 1349 - 1349

Beside Lu Qizhen's pupils, there were two very peculiar little dots.

This wasn't because there was anything wrong with his eyes, but rather he had a special kind of eyes.

This type of eyes, possessed by King Wen of Zhou in the Western Zhou period, and Xiang Yu during the Chu-Han period, was referred to as "heavy pupils" or "double pupils."

According to ancient texts, heavy pupils are the mark of a sage.

In the new era, though there's no longer the concept of sages, Lu Qizhen's heavy pupils are certainly not simple.

After waking up from the sickbed, Lu Qizhen made an action that took Su Fan by surprise.

This young man with the demeanor of an elder actually got out of bed and knelt on the ground before Su Fan.

The commotion in the emergency room immediately alerted the three people including Lu Wusheng.

The trio of Lu Wusheng entered the emergency room right away.

They happened to witness Su Fan looking pale and exhausted, as well as the scene of Lu Qizhen kneeling before Su Fan.

Upon seeing this, Lu Wusheng did not stop him.

After kneeling, Lu Qizhen solemnly bowed his head to Su Fan and earnestly spoke:

"Lu Qizhen is enormously grateful to Divine Doctor Su for saving my life and wishes to acknowledge Divine Doctor Su as my second father!"

"Second father" is a rather ancient title. Ji Fa, the King Wu of Zhou, once acknowledged Jiang Taigong as his second father, and Duke Huan of Qi once acknowledged Guan Zhong as his second father.

Ying Zheng, the First Emperor of Qin, also acknowledged Lu Buwei as his second father.

Although Lu Buwei met a bad end, the outcomes for Jiang Taigong and Guan Zhong were excellent.

Lu Qizhen now wished to acknowledge Su Fan as his second father, mainly out of gratitude for Su Fan's life-saving deed.

If not for Su Fan, his short life would have come to a complete end.

Of course, Su Fan wouldn't agree to be this young man's second father.

However, before he could refuse, Lu Wusheng smilingly said:

"Divine Doctor Su, you might as well agree. Our reclusive Lu family dearly wishes to befriend Divine Doctor Su."

In the past, Lu Wusheng might not have considered forming a deep friendship with Su Fan, but this incident changed his mind.

This reason isn't hard to grasp.

Lu Qizhen's illness was one that almost no one in the world could treat.

Even Qin Qianyi and Wang Dongbi had already given up.

In such circumstances, Su Fan managed to save Lu Qizhen, illustrating that Su Fan's medical skills had reached an unsurpassed level!

Young Lu Qizhen had obviously figured this out.

So, under the pretext of being grateful for the life-saving grace, he wished to acknowledge Su Fan as his second father.

Life is unpredictable; who knows if there might be a serious illness in one's future?

Having a profound friendship with someone like Divine Doctor Su is equivalent to having several extra lives.

As long as one isn't dead right on the spot, he or she could perhaps be saved by Su Fan.

Others might not know how precociously mature Lu Qizhen was, but Lu Wusheng did.

Moreover, in Lu Wusheng's view, Lu Qizhen's action was entirely correct.

After Lu Wusheng spoke, Su Fan was rather taken aback but could only nod.

Then he helped Lu Qizhen up and said, "Alright."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qizhen was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Second father!"

Su Fan slightly nodded his head, "Hmm."

With his age, being Lu Qizhen's elder brother would be more fitting.

However, that would make his seniority too low, so being Lu Qizhen's second father was fine.

After Su Fan agreed to this, the three including Lu Wusheng finally had the chance to check on Lu Qizhen's condition.

Seeing Lu Qizhen mostly recovered, the gazes directed at Su Fan were filled with awe.

Amateurs watch the fun, experts see the truth.

Qin Qianyi and Wang Dongbi, being the national medical masters of the previous Chinese Medical Masters Competition, had long achieved an unsurpassed, brilliant skill in medicine.

Had they not seen it with their own eyes, the two wouldn't have believed this could possibly be true.

The patient they found beyond help was saved by Su Fan!
