(Small Courtyard)

When Lu Cheng sent the last patient away and walked out of the clinic, he saw Chen Nanxing still sitting on a chair not far away, with a woman with a ponytail and wearing a blue striped long-sleeved T-shirt sitting next to her.

Chen Nanxing is also a pretty beauty, but she is slightly inferior to the one next to her.

The woman looked to be in her twenties or thirties, with fair skin, light makeup, a slightly plump figure, a pretty face, and an excellent temperament. She could be said to be the ceiling of slightly plump beauties.

Liu Tianxian is worthy of being able to play "Little Dragon Girl" and "Zhao Linger". Even though she is no longer young, she still has extraordinary charm.

Even Lu Cheng, who had seen all kinds of beauties in his previous life, felt his eyes brighten at this moment.

Even compared with the beauties selected from all over China in the previous life, this Liu Tianxian is not inferior at all.

When Chen Nanxing saw Lu Cheng coming over, she quickly stood up and introduced him to him: "Hello, Doctor Lu, this is my best friend, Xu Hongdou."

Lu Cheng nodded slightly, stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the other party: "Hello, I'm Lu Cheng."

"Xu Hongdou, Nanxing has already told me what happened before. I also want to thank you on Nanxing's behalf."

"These are nothing, but I see that Ms. Xu doesn't look too good. I'd like to ask if Ms. Xu has a bad stomach. Has she eaten any expired food recently?"

"Ah? This..." Xu Hongdou was a little stunned.

Lu Cheng smiled slightly: "Sorry, it's an occupational disease."

Chen Nanxing's mental state has improved a lot now. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Hongdou, how about letting Doctor Lu take a look at you?"

Xu Hongdou was a little embarrassed: "Will this delay your get off work?"

"It's okay. It won't take more than a few minutes. How about this? Come in for a moment and I'll feel your pulse first."

The two followed Lu Cheng into the office. Lu Cheng felt Xu Hongdou's pulse and then gave her a prescription: "You probably have irregular diet for a long time, and you like to eat spicy food. You may also have consumed some expired and spoiled food, which has caused gastrointestinal dysfunction.

But it's not a big deal. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. When you go back, you can also check if there is any expired or spoiled food in your refrigerator."

"Okay, thank you. By the way, do I need to pay the registration fee? And then go get the medicine?"

“You can scan the QR code with WeChat to operate…”

Xu Hongdou didn't expect that when she came to see someone, she would be dragged by the doctor to see a doctor and get some medicine.

By the time Xu Hongdou had gotten the medicine, Lu Cheng had also changed his clothes. The three of them walked out of the hospital together. Chen Nanxing suggested, "Doctor Lu, I broke your phone yesterday, and today you're bothering me with your medical care. Why don't we treat you to a meal?"

"Well, if you don't eat this meal, you might feel bad. Let's go, I'll go drive."

What Lu Cheng was driving today was, of course, the Passat he used for transportation.

After the two women got in the car, Chen Nanxing took the initiative to ask: "Doctor Lu, what do you like to eat? Is there anything you avoid?"

"I'm fine with either, but you two would both prefer something lighter."

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou suggested, "There's a pretty good Cantonese restaurant near where I live. Why don't we go there?"

"No problem, just tell me your location."

After driving for half an hour, we arrived at the restaurant and saw quite a few people already sitting inside.

The two girls treated him to a meal, so Lu Cheng just ordered two or three ordinary dishes. The two girls added two or three more.

While waiting for the food, the three of them started chatting.

"Doctor Lu, are you from Yanjing?"

"I guess so. I moved here from my grandfather's area. My hometown used to be Zhongzhou, but I haven't been to Zhongzhou very often. How about you two?"

Xu Hongdou introduced herself: "I am from Shandong, and we both met when we were studying at Yanjing University..."

The three of them chatted idly, briefly getting to know each other's situations, and did not bring the topic back to the disease.

Chen Nanxing is cheerful and lively, while Xu Hongdou is friendly and keeps a certain distance from strangers.

The two were classmates in college and had a very good relationship. They had visited each other's homes and even their parents had some contact. Although they were not biological sisters, they were not much worse than biological sisters.

After graduating from university, the two stayed in Yanjing together to work hard, supporting each other, and talking about anything. They had already established a very deep friendship.

"Doctor Lu is really amazing. He was able to tell our health conditions at a glance. I've always heard that many old Chinese doctors are amazing. They can tell everything just by taking our pulses. I didn't expect that Doctor Lu could find out the problem just by looking at us."

"That's nothing. Every profession has its own specialties. Every Chinese medicine practitioner has different diagnostic methods. You two girls are extraordinary. You are so young, but you have been able to gain a foothold in Yanjing."

"We are not as powerful as you say. We are just ordinary migrant workers in Beijing. We have no house and no car."

"That's normal. The housing prices in Yanjing are indeed too expensive. If I were to rely solely on my salary, I would definitely be the same as you."

The three of them were chatting and laughing. Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing both have high emotional intelligence and never let the topic become dull.

After dinner, Lu Cheng drove the two of them to Xu Hongdou's residence.

Chen Nanxing has another check-up tomorrow and Xu Hongdou will accompany him, so the two of them will stay at Xu Hongdou's place.

After seeing Lu Cheng off and returning home, Chen Nanxing opened Xu Hongdou's refrigerator and took out the various foods inside and looked at them: "Hongdou, a lot of the things in your refrigerator are expired. Look at this chili sauce, it's been expired for half a year."

Xu Hongdou also walked over: "No way, I put some in when I cooked noodles yesterday, and it didn't taste anything wrong."

"You can't eat expired food. Also, look at this, it's all hairy. And this...it seems that Doctor Lu is really amazing. Go get a bag, I'll throw all these away for you."

"Okay, okay, I listen to you."

The two girls cleaned up, washed up, and lay down on the bed. Chen Nanxing became a little worried again: "Hongdou, when Dr. Lu looked at my medical report today, his expression was obviously not right. I wonder if I have pancreatic cancer?"

"Don't scare yourself. I'll go with you for a thorough checkup tomorrow. Maybe there's nothing wrong. Okay, let's go to bed early."

"By the way, you haven't taken the medicine that Doctor Lu prescribed for you yet."

"let's talk tomorrow."

"No, I have to cook it and drink it today..."

Lu Cheng was in a good mood after returning home. The first step was going smoothly. All he had to do next was wait for Chen Nanxing to make further diagnosis before he could start treatment.

After changing into sportswear and stretching his muscles in the yard, Lu Cheng went out for a run, felt the night view of Yanjing, and then went back to rest.

The next afternoon, Xu Hongdou brought Chen Nanxing, who was a little distracted, to Lu Cheng's clinic again.

"Doctor Lu, I took Nanxing to another hospital for a checkup today. The doctor said it might be early pancreatic cancer and that surgery is needed as soon as possible. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Surgery is indeed the most direct and effective method. However, it is best to cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine for rehabilitation to avoid recurrence. Don't worry too much. Medical conditions are very advanced now, and the cure rate for early pancreatic cancer is still quite high. Don't worry, our doctors will definitely do their best. By the way, have you notified the family members?"

"I've already notified them. My uncle and aunt have already boarded the plane and will be here soon."

"If you want surgery, I can contact Union Hospital for you and guarantee the best doctor."

"Thank you then."

Chen Nanxing had graduated 10 years ago and had saved a lot of money after working for so many years. In addition, she was the only child in the family and her family also had some savings, so she naturally wanted to use them to go to the best hospital.

In fact, the cost of early pancreatic cancer surgery is not too high, and Chen Nanxing can fully afford it.

Although traditional Chinese medicine can also treat early pancreatic cancer, it is not as direct as surgery and the effect is slow. Even if Chen Nanxing believes in Lu Cheng and is willing to let Lu Cheng treat him, I am afraid that Chen Nanxing's family may not be able to wait.

Therefore, Lu Cheng recommended that she undergo the surgery first, and then he would provide her with rehabilitation treatment.
