Chinese Medicine: Starting with Daily Intelligence
Chapter 391: Female Streamer
Wang Linlin picked up her phone and called her boyfriend, Du Qiang.
"Hey, Brother Qiang, can you take me to see a doctor tomorrow?"
Wang Linlin whined playfully.
On the other end of the line,
Du Qiang was in the middle of a game. Hearing his girlfriend’s voice, he immediately put down his controller, his eyes crinkling with a smile. "What’s wrong, baby? Are you not feeling well? Which hospital? I’ll go with you."
"Not a hospital. A traditional Chinese medicine clinic."
Wang Linlin said mysteriously, "Remember that super-popular ’Divine Physician’ Li Xu from online? The one who supposedly cured terminal lung cancer? I think he’s amazing, and I want him to check me out. Come over early tomorrow, and dress sharp. I’m planning to livestream."
When Du Qiang heard they were going to see the "Divine Physician" and that she was going to livestream, he perked up immediately. "Yeah, yeah, no problem! I’ll definitely be the most handsome guy there tomorrow."
Hanging up the phone, Wang Linlin was filled with anticipation.
She could already imagine how exciting tomorrow’s livestream would be.
「Early the next morning, just as the sky began to lighten.」
Wang Linlin got up at six as planned.
But for a girl, the process of washing up and putting on makeup before leaving the house is always a lengthy one.
By the time she had leisurely finished getting ready and gone downstairs, the clock hands were already pointing past seven.
Downstairs, Du Qiang, wrapped in a thin but fashionable overcoat, had already been waiting in the cold wind for over an hour, shivering.
To meet his girlfriend’s demand that he be the "most handsome," he had deliberately chosen style over warmth. Now, his nose was red from the cold, and he couldn’t help but swear to himself, ’If she’s late again, I’m definitely showing up half an hour later!’
However, the moment he saw Wang Linlin walk out of the building, all his dissatisfaction vanished.
Wang Linlin had dressed up specially today. Her exquisite makeup made her look even more radiant and captivating. Her long, slender legs were partially visible beneath her short skirt, exuding youthful energy.
"Baby, have you been waiting long? Aren’t you cold?" Wang
Linlin said with a sweet smile as she ran toward Du Qiang.
Du Qiang immediately rushed forward and swept her into his arms. Feeling the faint fragrance from her body, all the chill dissipated. He silently cursed himself for being so pathetic, but his face wore a doting smile. "Not cold at all. Just seeing you warms me up."
"Such a sweet talker."
Wang Linlin patted his shoulder, then took her phone out of her bag. "Come on, time to start the stream!"
Du Qiang immediately took the phone from her, taking on the role of a professional cameraman.
Wang Linlin’s outdoor livestreaming account had hundreds of thousands of followers. Through streaming and ads, she had already accumulated a considerable income.
After going live, the stream quickly drew in a crowd.
"Hello, my dears! Good morning, everyone!"
Wang Linlin greeted the camera, full of energy and with a sweet smile.
The bullet comments instantly flooded the screen:
"Good morning, Linlin."
"Wow, Linlin, you look so beautiful today."
"Brother Qiang is being used as a tool again, hahaha."
"Brother Qiang is frozen stiff, but he’s still smiling so happily. That’s true love!"
"I love this ship."
"Where are you going today, Linlin?"
Wang Linlin watched the lively interaction from her fans on the screen, feeling delighted.
She cleared her throat and said to the camera, "My dears, we’re not going out for fun today. I’m actually feeling a little under the weather, so I’m going to see a doctor."
The bullet comments erupted again:
"Huh? What’s wrong with Linlin?"
"What’s wrong?"
"I feel so bad for Linlin."
"What kind of doctor are you seeing?"
Wang Linlin smiled sweetly, responding to her fans’ concern. "Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. I just have a minor health issue and I’m planning to see a really amazing traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
A fan immediately guessed, "Is it that Divine Physician Li?"
Wang Linlin nodded. "That’s right, it’s Doctor Li Xu, who’s been all over the internet lately. As you guys know, I haven’t had my period in years. I went to the hospital for some scans before, but the results aren’t back yet. I thought I’d try my luck here and see if this Divine Physician is really as incredible as they say."
"Whoa! Linlin hasn’t had her period in years? Don’t tell me you’re pregnant?" a fan teased.
Wang Linlin’s face immediately flushed. She shot a playful glare at Du Qiang, then explained to the camera, "Hey, what are you all thinking? I’m not pregnant, my cycle is just irregular. I haven’t been messing around! See, this guy next to me is my boyfriend, Du Qiang. He keeps a close watch on me."
As she spoke, she affectionately linked her arm with Du Qiang’s, showing off their relationship for the camera.
Du Qiang played along with a simple, honest smile for the camera, and the stream was once again filled with cheerful laughter.
Just then, a few bullet comments caught Wang Linlin’s attention:
"Linlin, there’s been a lead poisoning incident in Feng City recently. Be careful when you go see the doctor."
"Yeah, and I heard Divine Physician Li’s clinic is always packed. You probably won’t be able to get in line."
When Wang Linlin saw these comments, her heart skipped a beat.
’But I brought my own water and food, so it should be fine.’
As for the long lines, she wasn’t too concerned. ’He’s a famous doctor, after all. It’s normal for it to be crowded.’
She continued to stream and interact with her fans along the way.
After arriving in Feng City, another half hour passed before the taxi stopped in front of Li’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.
Wang Linlin and Du Qiang got out of the car and looked up at the clinic’s sign—"Li’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic."
However, when they walked into the clinic, they found that the scene before them was a far cry from the "packed with people" image they had imagined.
The clinic was unusually deserted, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Other than Song Sisi, who was sitting behind the counter playing on her phone out of boredom, and Li Xu, who was at his desk treating a patient, there was only one other person there.
The spacious clinic was surprisingly empty.
Wang Linlin’s heart sank.
’This... this is the legendary ’Divine Physician’s’ clinic? Why is there no one here?’
Wang Linlin began to have second thoughts.
She looked at the empty clinic, then glanced at Li Xu sitting behind his desk.
He was even younger and more handsome than in his photos.
But in this deserted atmosphere, a sliver of doubt crept into her mind. ’Could it be that this Divine Physician is all hype, just a fraud manufactured by the media?’
Du Qiang was also surprised, but seeing Wang Linlin’s disappointed expression, he quickly comforted her, "Maybe there are just fewer patients today. It’s traditional Chinese medicine, after all, not as busy as a Western hospital’s emergency room."
Wang Linlin nodded, still feeling uncertain.
But since they were already here, they couldn’t just turn back now.
She took a deep breath and forced a smile for the camera. "My dears, we’ve arrived! The clinic is a little empty, haha, but since we’re here, let’s go check it out!"
The two of them were quite conspicuous.
After prescribing medicine for the only patient in the clinic, Li Xu noticed the pair.
They were holding a selfie stick with the phone screen lit up, clearly livestreaming.
He guessed they were the currently popular type of "store review streamers."
However, he soon recalled today’s intelligence report.
The intelligence was very interesting.
He watched the beautiful woman walk into the clinic, then shook his head and chuckled.
