2 A Dream That Lasts (2/2)
Mo Wen didn't meddle further. He shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave. Now, he was unwilling to waste time on this matter as his mind was a little muddled, trying to sort out many things.
The girl examined Lao Zhang's condition in a rush, so she didn't bother with Mo Wen. However, she was puzzled to find Lao Zhang's breathing actually stabilized, and he was without any symptoms. She reached for the stethoscope immediately and put it over Lao Zhang's chest to examine. She was astonished to discover that the heart was beating regularly. The fatal attack of acute myocardial infarction was totally gone.
The girl fixed her eyes on Mo Wen's back intently. She ran after him without hesitation.
”Hi, I'm Shen Jing. May I get to know you?”
A slender figure appeared like the wind in front of Mo Wen. A crisp, soft voice came before him as a fair, little hand extended towards him.
”Uhh...”
Mo Wen looked at Shen Jing awkwardly, as it was the first time a girl had initiated a conversation with him. Furthermore, she was a beautiful one. He was uneasy with such a sudden approach.
After all, Mo Wen was a shy youngster with a sense of inferiority who had barely touched any girls' hands. Although he had the memory of his past life (though the memory appeared unusually), it wouldn't change his character immediately. Furthermore, he was still a single youngster in that memory, who rarely had any contact with girls in a feudalistic society of conservative social customs and conduct.
”I am Mo Wen.”
Mo Wen had a tinge of a blush that appeared unconsciously as he released Shen Jing's hand that he lightly shook.
Realising how shy Mo Wen was, Shen Jing smiled like a blooming flower. She found Mo Wen to be an adult and was so adorable for being simple.
”What did you do just now? You stabilized the attack of the acute myocardial infarction without the use of any medicine or medical equipment.”
Mo Wen hesitated for a moment; he obviously wouldn't be telling Shen Jing about the strange experience, or he would be studied like a lab rat.
”That is a secret.”
Shen Jing looked at Mo Wen with a pair of puppy eyes. She had studied medical skills for more than decade and had a few years of clinical experience. She was very curious, as it was the first time she saw anyone able to treat heart diseases so easily.
”Please tell me; I promise not to tell anyone. Ok?”
Shen Jing's slightly coquettish tone was a little too much for Mo Wen to bear. Shen Jing was obviously a few years older than Mo Wen and looked like a gentle elder sister. With the good image and coquettish tone as her winning tactic, she definitely won over the shy little boy.
However, Mo Wen would not throw in the towel instantly as he was a man of principles with the memory of his past life as an imperial court physician, who was knowledgeable and experienced in the world.
”Nope. That's an heirloom secret technique, it can't be passed on to outsiders.” Mo Wen regained his composure and shook his head quickly.
”Ah…!”
Shen Jing was a little frustrated, as it was the first time she acted in such a coy manner to a boy, yet he wasn't even convinced by it. It was such an embarrassment.
”Can you teach me? I can be your disciple and will pay fees. Is that okay?”
Shen Jing was eager to learn when she heard Mo Wen saying that it was an heirloom secret technique. Although Mo Wen mentioned that it could not be passed on to outsiders, there was always room for negotiation. She would have no hesitation if she could pay to learn as she was rich, since a national medical treasure passed down for a few thousand years was priceless.
Mo Wen thought about it and rejected it.
”I cannot.”
Although this technique was not anything profound, it was not from this world. It would not be easy to explain to Shen Jing while teaching her, and it would also create a lot of other problems. Furthermore, Mo Wen's desire for money was not as great now. With his current medical skills, earning money was not a difficult task.
Shen Jing looked at Mo Wen helplessly, unwilling to give up easily. That technique would help a lot of people and save a lot of lives if it was passed on to the medical field.Using this special technique would also make it possible to research and develop other medical techniques.
”I am able to pay you a huge sum of money. In addition, I am a professor at the Hua Xia University Medical Faculty, and the doctor in-charge of the military leading affiliated hospital, who would be able to propagate your secret technique passed down for generations and educate more people. In this way, it would promote the advancement of the medical field and develop our country's medical skills. You may even apply for the patent of this technique. We will only use it, but will not own it, alright? It is wrong to hoard ideas selfishly.”
Mo Wen didn't pay much attention to Shen Jing's loads of reasons, but he understood one thing – she was the professor in Hua Xia University and she was in the School of Medicine.
”You are the professor in the Hua Xia University Medical Faculty?”
Hua Xia University… wasn't that the dream school I was hoping to go to before?
