Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Keep it a secret for me, will you?

"What’s wrong? What happened to you?" Seeing Lin Su’er about to cry, Song Xiaodong was startled and sat up straight.

The moment Song Xiaodong asked, Lin Su’er couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, wiping them away and choking out, "You... you’re bullying me."

Song Xiaodong hurriedly said, "Lin Su’er, don’t cry, okay? Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I’ll stand up for you."

Lin Su’er wiped away her tears and looked at Song Xiaodong’s serious face, feeling a bit dazed. She sniffled twice and tentatively asked, "Were you really just... sleeping and didn’t know anything just now?"

Song Xiaodong stared at Lin Su’er and said, "Yes, it’s not like I... did something to you, is it?"

"Ah... no! No!" Lin Su’er let out a low exclamation, then quickly shook her head vigorously. She realized by now that Song Xiaodong’s kiss had been an unconscious gesture; how could she have the heart to mention it?

"Really nothing? I feel like the person who bullied you was... me." Song Xiaodong gazed into Lin Su’er’s eyes.

"Nothing... nothing at all..." Lin Su’er repeatedly shook her head, yet she couldn’t bring herself to meet Song Xiaodong’s eyes.

"Lin Su’er, you don’t have to lie to me anymore; your eyes have already given you away. I definitely did something to you."

Lin Su’er bit her lip, her face blushing, and complained, "You’re so mean... just now you actually... touched my hand."

"Touched your hand? That’s all?" Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Song Xiaodong relax so suddenly, Lin Su’er felt a bit disappointed inside, but she also felt relieved. Pouting, she said, "What else did you have in mind? The way you touched... wasn’t like usual, it was... just very naughty."

Song Xiaodong laughed awkwardly and said, "I’m really sorry, when I enter a deep sleep like that, I’m completely unaware of my actions. I’m not trying to shirk my responsibility. I still owe you an apology. Whatever punishment or retribution you want, I accept."

This is what you said, you can’t take it back," Lin Su’er pouted even more.

"Mhm, absolutely no take-backs." Song Xiaodong eagerly said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"That... that..." Lin Su’er blinked her eyes and said, "I haven’t thought of it yet. When I figure it out, I’ll ask you to do something for me. Is that okay?"

"That’s fine! It’s good you didn’t ask for three conditions like Zhao Min did."

"Zhao Min? Ah, you mean the Zhao Min from The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, right? I’m not that cunning, and besides, I wouldn’t make a difficult request for you." Lin Su’er playfully hit Song Xiaodong.

"Then it’s settled. You’re not angry anymore, right?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"Not angry anymore. It was just a touch of the hand, I didn’t really care. It’s just that when you woke up, you acted like nothing had happened; I thought you were pretending to be confused after bullying me."

Song Xiaodong rubbed his nose and said, "Sorry, sorry."

"It’s okay, I’m not blaming you. We’re friends, right? Oh, by the way, Vice President He and Director Liu came looking for you a while ago. But they left when they saw you were sleeping soundly."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Then have them come back. I’ll give Old He a call."

"Um... Ah, wait a minute, I know where they are, I’ll go and call them over for you." Lin Su’er pressed down on Song Xiaodong and hurriedly ran out.

After finding He Wenbai and Liu Yajun, Lin Su’er told them that Song Xiaodong had already woken up. The two of them stood up immediately wanting to go over, when Lin Su’er quickly said hesitantly, "Vice President He, Director Liu, just now... just now..."

"What happened?" He Wenbai and Liu Yajun both looked at Lin Su’er with great interest.

Lin Su’er stomped her foot and bit her lip, saying, "Just now, Brother Dongzi was in a deep sleep, completely unaware of anything, so I... I kissed him, and he didn’t know. You mustn’t tell him, okay? I don’t want him to feel... because of this..."

He Wenbai asked, "Are you afraid he will think less of you, or do you not want to force Mr. Song to take responsibility because of this?"

Lin Su’er clenched her fists and said, "Both, I guess. I was impulsive at the time. I admit I like Brother Dongzi, but I don’t want to force him because of this. I hope you can help me keep this secret."

He Wenbai and Liu Yajun exchanged glances and then He Wenbai said with a smile, "Alright, I’ll keep your secret and definitely won’t tell Mr. Song."

"Thank you, Vice President He, thank you, Director Liu!" Lin Su’er rapidly bowed to the two men.

"No, no! We really can’t accept this." He Wenbai and Liu Yajun both hurriedly became somewhat flustered. In their hearts, Song Xiaodong was undoubtedly like their own mentor, and if Lin Su’er got together with Song Xiaodong, she would be like a mentor’s wife to them, and they could not accept such a gesture from her.

When the three of them arrived at He Wenbai’s office, Song Xiaodong asked, "Is there something else you wanted to discuss with me?"

He Wenbai said, "Mr. Song, when you were operating just now, I had many questions, and also some insights. I’d like to ask for your guidance."

"Sure, ok," Song Xiaodong readily agreed.

Seeing that the others were about to discuss serious matters, and since He Wenbai and Liu Yajun seemed like they wouldn’t bring up that subject, Lin Su’er quietly slipped away.

"How embarrassing." Touching her burning cheeks, Lin Su’er whispered, but her eyes were watery; recalling the kiss with Song Xiaodong, it was indeed too heart-stirring. Her first kiss had been given to someone she admired like Song Xiaodong, and even if Song didn’t acknowledge it, it was still worth it for her.

Liu Yajun listened to the conversation between Song Xiaodong and He Wenbai with utmost seriousness. Medical skill is something that is often shared, and what Song Xiaodong talked about wasn’t entirely Traditional Chinese Medicine; it also mixed in Western Medicine theories. So although Liu Yajun found it challenging to comprehend, he could still understand some of it.

And from what Song Xiaodong was explaining, he suddenly realized that some aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine were indeed very miraculous. It’s not that general Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners were inadequate; it was that they lacked a certain type of Qi as a foundation, especially in acupuncture, where this Qi played a tremendous role. That was the truly effective part of the treatment. Ordinary acupuncture, without this effect, was completely different.

And He Wenbai had actually received teaching from Song Xiaodong and could now sense the existence of this Qi, and that was what Liu Yajun envied immensely.

"Mr. Song!" After the two finished talking, Liu Yajun suddenly knelt in front of Song Xiaodong and said respectfully, "Please teach me the method of Qi Cultivation!"

A prominent provincial hospital’s neurology expert knelt before a young man—if others saw this, they would be shocked. However, He Wenbai thought this was entirely to be expected.
