Ye Qiu, being a doctor, was highly sensitive to the words “help me.” Upon hearing the cry, he immediately looked up.
A large crowd was gathered ahead.
“Come on, let’s check it out.”
Ye Qiu quickly walked over and pushed through the crowd. There, he saw a strikingly beautiful girl sitting on the ground.
She appeared to be around twenty years old, slender, with large eyes, snow-white skin, and long, dark hair tied into a braid.
She wore a white T-shirt, a black mini-skirt, and white trainers.
Youthful and vibrant.
At that moment, her face was pale, and her expression was filled with panic.
Ye Qiu’s gaze shifted downward to her smooth calf, where there was a five-centimetre gash, with blood flowing incessantly, likely from a ruptured blood vessel.
“To let such a lovely girl suffer like this—heaven must be blind!”
Ye Qiu sighed inwardly and was about to step forward to help stop the bleeding when two middle-aged women knelt in front of the girl.
“Hello, we’re nurses from Jinling First Hospital.”
“Your condition requires immediate attention to stop the bleeding.”
“Please bear with it, miss.”
The two nurses were very professional. One of them spoke while the other took out iodine and gauze from a bag she carried.
They quickly disinfected the wound.
Then they bandaged it.
However, once the gauze was wrapped, it was soon soaked with blood.
The bleeding grew worse, showing no signs of stopping.
“This is bad—the bleeding won’t stop.”
“We can’t go on like this. Call 120!”
The two nurses said urgently.
“Let me handle it!” A calm voice suddenly sounded nearby.
The nurses looked up and saw a handsome face.
“I’m a doctor. The girl’s calf has a ruptured blood vessel, and simply using gauze won’t stop the bleeding. Let me take care of it,” Ye Qiu said.
The two nurses glanced at Ye Qiu and promptly stepped aside.
Ye Qiu crouched down and said gently to the girl, “Don’t be afraid. It’s a minor injury, and it’ll be fine soon.”
With that, Ye Qiu pulled a needle case from his pocket and took out two golden needles.
Seeing his actions, the two nurses whispered to each other:
“Golden needles to stop bleeding?”
“Will that actually work?”
As they spoke, Ye Qiu moved swiftly, inserting the two golden needles into the girl’s calf like lightning.
At the same time, Ye Qiu subtly drew a blood-stopping talisman.
In just over ten seconds, the bleeding stopped.
“Wow, he stopped the bleeding that quickly?”
“His medical skills are incredible!”
The two nurses looked at Ye Qiu, their eyes filled with shock.
About three minutes later, Ye Qiu removed the two golden needles and smiled at the girl. “Be more careful when walking in the future. You’re lucky you met me today, or you’d have a scar on your leg.”
“Mhm.”
The girl nodded and made a soft sound. At that moment, she felt an itchy sensation at the wound.
Curious, she looked down and saw that not only had the bleeding stopped, but the wound had already scabbed over.
Huh?
The girl was stunned.
It’s common knowledge that even a small wound takes days to scab over and heal.
Yet her wound, which was so long, had scabbed over in an instant. It was unbelievable.
Then, something even more astonishing happened.
The girl’s eyes widened as she stared at her calf. She saw the scab cracking at a visible rate, and then the wound disappeared.
How could this be?
Thinking she might be seeing things, the girl rubbed her eyes and looked again.
The wound was truly gone.
Her skin was completely restored.
“This…” The girl was dumbfounded.
Exclamations erupted from the surrounding crowd.
“No way, it healed that fast?”
“Just minutes ago, the bleeding wouldn’t stop, and now not only is the wound healed, there’s not even a trace of a scar. Is that doctor a magician?”
“Amazing!”
“He’s practically a miracle doctor!”
The two nurses were too shocked to speak, staring at Ye Qiu in a daze.
Having worked in a hospital for years, they had never seen such a young and skilled doctor.
And he was so handsome!
In an instant, the crowd surrounded Ye Qiu, clamouring:
“Doctor, my rhinitis hasn’t improved despite years of treatment. Can you take a look?”
“Doctor, can you check my arthritis?”
“…”
Ye Qiu raised a hand, gesturing for silence, and said, “Thank you all for your trust, but this isn’t a hospital, so it’s not convenient for me to treat anyone here.”
“If you really want my help, you can find me in Jiangzhou.”
“I work in the Chinese Medicine Department at Jiangzhou Hospital.”
With that, Ye Qiu prepared to leave.
After taking just two steps, he was stopped by a stout woman with a coarse face.
“Young doctor, you seem like a good person. Can you help me? It’s a matter of life and death.”
Ye Qiu paused and asked seriously, “Auntie, can you tell me what’s wrong?”
The woman said, “I’m fifty-seven this year, and I want a third child. I’d like your help.”
Ye Qiu’s face showed hesitation.
Women over thirty are considered high-risk for pregnancy, but this woman was nearly sixty and wanted a child. The risks were immense.
Ye Qiu said, “Auntie, this is a bit difficult…”
“Difficult? It’s not like I’m asking you to do it for free,” the woman said. “If you help me have a third child, I’ll give you a million.”
Ye Qiu quickly said, “Auntie, it’s not about the money…”
The woman frowned. “If it’s not about money, then what’s the problem? Is there something wrong with your body?”
“There’s nothing wrong with my body,” Ye Qiu said, puzzled. What did this have to do with his body?
“If there’s nothing wrong with your body, then what’s the issue?” the woman said. “My husband is a wealthy Hong Kong businessman. Due to a car accident, he can no longer have children. To continue the family legacy and maintain our family’s image, we discussed finding a man to conceive with me.”
“I think you’re quite suitable.”
“If you can get me pregnant, I’ll give you two million.”
As she spoke, a hint of shyness appeared on her face.
What in the world?
The legendary “paying for a child”?
Ye Qiu’s face darkened instantly.
“You’d better find someone else!” Ye Qiu said, then turned and walked away.
“Hmph, ungrateful brat,” the woman snorted coldly.
The girl quickly got up from the ground, chased after Ye Qiu, and shouted, “Oppa, oppa…”
Ye Qiu turned back to look at her. “Are you calling me?”
The girl nodded. “Oppa, thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Ye Qiu said, then left with Han Long.
Only after his figure had completely vanished into the crowd did the girl seem to realise something, saying regretfully, “I forgot to ask his name. I wonder if I’ll ever see him again?”
…
Time passed quickly.
On the third day of Ye Qiu’s arrival in Jinling, the China-Great Han medical competition officially began.
