"You lied. You were a virgin." Zhang Yurong chuckles, whispering in Li Yong's ears.

"Now I am not a virgin anymore." Li Yong pants out the words. He knows he cannot cover it up. What he learnt from p.o.r.n is of no use to him. After all, practice and theory are different.

As Confucius says, learning without thought means labor lost; thought without learning is perilous. He is so d.a.m.n right.

"Xiaoyong, thank you." Zhang Yurong says softly.

"For what?"

"Thank you for giving me your first time." Zhang Yurong says with a smile.

Li Yong is speechless. As for a man, is his first time different from the second time? He cannot sell his first time for anything. He has heard of anyone who can make money by selling that.

"Xiaoyong, you are good at flirting, except that you lack actual practice. Let me teach you well, and you will surely get a girlfriend soon." Zhang Yurong says slowly and gently.

"I don't need a girlfriend. Now you are my girl. I will be responsible for you." Li Yong says seriously.

"Silly, you don't need to take any responsibility. I don't need that. You have excellent medical skills and a bright future is awaiting you. As long as you love me, I will ask for nothing else. I won't meddle with you. After you get married, I will leave you then."

"No way. I don't want you to leave." Li Yong holds Zhang Yurong tightly. He doesn't know what is going to happen in future, but at the moment he loves Zhang Yurong only.

"Okay. I won't leave you. I am at your side." Zhang Yurong smiles happily.

"Yurong, I want more." Li Yong gets on top of her again.

"You are so energetic! But you must pay attention to techniques. You cannot just do it without using skills. You should learn to get both parties enjoy. Come on, let me teach you. You have a lot to learn…"

Through Zhang Yurong's guidance, to his surprise, Li Yong finds out that there are so many things to note about the s.e.xual stuff between men and women. It is so incredible and really opens his eyes. It also makes him so thrilled. Just as men landed on the moon for the first time, it brings him a brand new perspective and expands his life values.

Li Yong tries his best to learn it with efforts as many as he made on the entrance exam for college. After doing it round after round, he learns how to control the pace as well as grasp the strength and techniques.

At dawn, Zhang Yurong gives comments on his performance, "Amazing!"

At 8 am, Li Yong arrives at the front of w.a.n.g Hui's Clinic with a few workers, pointing the sign on the building and saying, "Take away the two words--w.a.n.g Hui, and replace them with 'Yong Kang.'"

Then he brings another group of workers into the clinic to start the cleaning work.

After he has arranged everything, he rushes to the Zhonghai First Hospital.

"Hey, what a coincident! I heard you were fired. Are you coming here to see a doctor? What's your problem?" Li Yong runs into a cla.s.smate at the front of the Zhonghai First Hospital, the one who just rejected his invitation to have a dinner together last night. Seeing Li Yong today, he looks as if he b.u.mps into an alien and turns as shocked as a psychopath is.

Together with him there is a young and pretty woman doctor, another cla.s.smate of Li Yong's.

The man, with a grey black face in a thin figure, is called Deng Shouyin. The woman, with fair and white skin, has a figure as tall as a model. She used to be the most beautiful girl in the cla.s.s and is named Liu Xiaoyue.

Faced with Deng Shouyin's derision, Li Yong doesn't give a s.h.i.+t. He looks him over and says, "Shouyin, I am feeling well. Yet, from where I stand, you have got some problems and I suggest you not masturbating too often (which sounds similar to Shouyin's name in Chinese). Overdoing it will hurt yourself."

Deng Shouyin flies into a rage. Back in school days, he would pick up a fight when others made fun of his name. Afterwards, no one would do that again in front of his face but secretly do it behind his back.

Now Li Yong should do it again, in front of Liu Xiaoyue! It is unacceptable for Deng Shouyin, but he is no fighting match for Li Yong. They two used to hang out and know each other well. He cannot gain the upper hand in a fight, so he says angrily, "Li Yong, you have been fired. How dare you come back here?"

Li Yong pays no attention to him and instead, looks to Liu Xiaoyue, saying, "Ms. Liu."

Liu Xiaoyue acts aloof and asks, "What's the occasion?"

"I come here to find Doctor Liu." Li Yong says in a cold voice. He won't behave friendly if others act aloof to him. He is not that kind of guy who would play up to beautiful women.

"Hm, you want to pull some strings here? All the doctors kicked out of the hospital, whether they are interns or physicians-in-charge, they won't be hired for a second time. I suggest that you stop daydreaming." Deng Shouyin says grimly.

Li Yong just ignores him and walks into the hospital directly.

Looking at the back of Li Yong, Deng Shouyin says with hatred, "Pfffft, barefaced rat! Shame on you! I will give my uncle an advance notice. No matter who he turns to, he will never be hired again."

Liu Xiaoyue shoots a glance at Deng Shouyin, "Maybe he doesn't come to Doctor Liu to pull strings."

"I know him better than you. A poor countryman lost the job. He is doomed and will never have his day. Hence, he must come here to offer a bribe…"

Deng Shouyin's uncle is the personnel director of the Zhonghai First Hospital. He makes a call to his uncle immediately.

Doctor Liu is called Liu Lingyin, a doctor of ENT department, who was admitted by the hospital two years ahead of Li Yong and has worked here for three years. Now she is already an official doctor of ENT department.

While Li Yong was an intern in hospital, she used to be his supervisor, the nicest one among all the supervisors he has got. Li Yong once saw others sending presents to Liu Lingyin but Liu Lingyin didn't take the presents anyway.

Liu Lingyin was born from a poor family and has been in great debt after graduation from college. Besides, her mother is seriously ill and has been living with her since she was in college. She finished her college with outstanding academic performance. It is also because of her excellent performance at college that she was hired by the Zhonghai First Hospital.

Li Yong used to think he lives a miserable life. Yet, compared with Liu Lingyin, he should feel he is much luckier.

Seeing Liu Lingyin checking a child's physical condition, Li Yong waits outside.

When the child leaves the room and no one else comes, Li Yong walks in.

"Doctor Liu." Li Yong calls her delightedly.

Liu Lingyin is tall, even taller than Liu Xiaoyue. She is a bit thin with long arms and fingers, wearing a pair of thick gla.s.ses. Yet the gla.s.ses won't block her bright piercing eyes.

Hearing a familiar voice, she looks up and smiles, "Xiaoyong, you are here. I heard you got fired by the hospital. What a pity! How are you?"

"I'm fine. Doctor Liu, I have something to talk to you. Would you mind having lunch with me today?" Li Yong asks with a smile.

"We can talk here now. If I can make it, I will surely do you the favor. I'll pa.s.s the lunch." Liu Lingyin says.

"I promised you before that I would treat you to Korean food after I make big money. Doctor Liu, I have to keep my promise." Li Yong tries to persuade her.

"You make big money?" Liu Lingyin checks on Li Yong and finds that he still looks like what he used to be and doesn't seem to have made much money.

"Let's talk over the lunch. It's a deal. I'll wait for you." Noticing another patient coming in, Li Yong walks out of the room and waits outside.

It is not until Liu Lingyin clocks off at noon that Li Yong meets her.

It is not expected that she says, "Xiaoyong, I cannot have lunch with you. I have to go home and cook for my mom. Seriously, I cannot eat outside and leave my mom at home."

"Take your mom with us then." Li Yong advises.

"No, thanks. My mom has some leg problems." Liu Lingyin says in a slightly upset voice.

"Let's go to your home and you treat to a lunch. Isn't it okay?" Li Yong asks.

"Well, okay then." Liu Lingyin hesitates for a while and agrees.

Then Liu Lingyin brings Li Yong to the supermarket and buys some groceries before they go home.

Liu Lingyin lives in a rented apartment two kilometers away from the Zhonghai First Hospital. She always returns to the apartment on foot to save one yuan's bus fee. While buying the groceries, Li Yong also notices that she chooses the cheap ones on purpose.

The apartment Liu Lingyin rents has two bedrooms and one living room, which is well cleaned and simply furnished.

An old lady with white hair is cooking at the kitchen with a walking stick in her hand.

"Mom, we've got some company. Let me cook instead." Liu Lingyin runs into the kitchen quickly and then supports her mom to the living room, helping her sit down. Then she comes back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

The old lady looks Li Yong in the eye and asks him softly, "Young man, please have a set. Let me make you some tea."

"Aunt, please allow me to help myself." Li Yong hastens to get up and pours himself a gla.s.s of water.

Then they two start to have a chat. It naturally gets to the illness of the old lady. She mentions that her illness is curable except that she has to go to big hospital and the expense is at least 300,000 yuan. They are too poor to afford it so she hasn't recovered yet. While the old lady is sighing about her illness, Li Yong has found out the cause of illness via his clairvoyant vision.

It turns out to be the twisted meridians in her waist that causes her problem of walking over the past years. It is apparently the lingering effect of late treatment of overwork.

Li Yong tries to look for a treatment in his memories and finds a good method for such a disease, that is, acupuncture. Yet, Li Yong hasn't dealt with difficult miscellaneous diseases before and now he has no acupuncture needle with him.

It seems that he has to prepare a set of acupuncture needles for use at any time.

While having lunch, Li Yong talks about the old lady's illness with Liu Lingyin and says he can fix it. However, Liu Lingyin doesn't believe it at all. Is he kidding? How can an intern like him fix a disease that cannot be cured after more than ten years' treatment? It is such a disgrace for those medical experts.

Even Liu Lingyin feels disgraced a bit. Just like asking a three-year-old kid to lift a big rock, it is never possible for him to make it, unless he has super powers.

Yet, the old lady feels happy to hear that and seems to have confidence in Li Yong. At last, she says she wants to let Li Yong have a try and just takes it as a folk prescription.

A folk prescription? Li Yong cannot help smiling. For modern people, ancient medical skills just feel like folk prescriptions, except that his version is a real magic prescription.

Li Yong doesn't try to argue. He only knows the medical skills but not the theory. He tells them he will come by to give the treatment today.
