Chapter 295: A Rejected Confession

The next day, Zhu Yanyi woke up at her usual time. She did her morning exercises, made breakfast, and then went to the hospital. She didn’t see Yan Aohan all morning. He must have been busy.

When Zhu Yanyi arrived at the hospital, Old Man Yao said, "Get ready. I’m taking you somewhere in a bit."

"Huh? Oh." Zhu Yanyi sighed softly. She didn’t want to get involved in trouble, but some things were impossible to avoid.

Old Man Yao noticed she didn’t ask where they were going. she felt curious. "Aren’t you curious about where I’m taking you?"

Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. She answered weakly, "Since Grandpa Yao said I should go, I’ll just follow you. You’re the leader, and I’m just a little assistant. Assistants don’t need to know too much."

Old Man Yao was stunned. Zhu Yanyi was right. She should have been the main character this time, but she was just a small assistant. They couldn’t expose her to the world. She sighed, "Yes, you are just a little assistant." Her sigh held a hint of guilt. She had dragged Zhu Yanyi into this mess.

Zhu Yanyi saw the look on Old Man Yao’s face and knew what he was thinking. She smiled. "Grandpa Yao, who are you trying to impress with that face? Don’t worry. I know what’s right. I won’t blame you. Besides, aren’t you standing in front of me to protect me?"

Old Man Yao rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head. There was a faint apology in his eyes. "Grandpa Yao can only do so much. But don’t worry. As long as I’m alive, I will protect you every day until you grow up."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Old Man Yao. For the first time, she saw seriousness and determination in his eyes. She was slightly surprised. "Grandpa Yao, you’re so serious."

Old Man Yao was indeed very serious. His eyes shone with light. "Ani, you are the most talented child I have ever seen. In the field of medicine, you will definitely go further than Grandpa Yao. But before that, you must protect yourself. The peak of our Chinese medicine may need you to lead and create. Do you understand?"

This was the first time Old Man Yao spoke to Zhu Yanyi so seriously about this topic. Zhu Yanyi always knew that due to years of turmoil, traditional Chinese medicine had declined. Many prescriptions and folk remedies were lost. In the international community, Chinese medicine was treated like a scam. Meanwhile, Western medicine was promoted. However, those who understood Chinese medicine knew that Western medicine was only good for quick, temporary relief.

They didn’t deny the effects of Western medicine. But Western medicine was good at treating symptoms, not the root cause. It treated the head for a headache and the foot for a foot pain. Chinese medicine, however, treated the foot for a headache. It provided individual prescriptions to completely eradicate the illness. On the surface, Western medicine worked fast. But in the long run, Chinese medicine could regulate the body’s foundation. Today, the status of Chinese medicine was very awkward. It was not easy to return to its past peak.

Zhu Yanyi liked Chinese medicine because she liked how it treated people based on their individual conditions. She liked seeing the hopeful look in the eyes of critically ill patients. She never expected Old Man Yao to have such high hopes for her. For a moment, she was stunned. "Grandpa Yao~"

"Ani, you are still young. Grandpa Yao will only say this once. Your future path will be harder than mine. Grandpa Yao’s life will probably only reach this level. No matter what, I can never break through to become a Medical God. Grandpa Yao hopes you can break through. And Grandpa Yao believes you are the most likely to become a Medical God." Hope shone in Old Man Yao’s eyes. If the Medical God appeared again one day, he would be content even in death.
