Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

"Hmm." Dong Xiaoshuang sat up abruptly, opened the can, took a sip of juice, and said, "Most TCM hospitals nowadays combine TCM and Western medicine. Where can you find purely TCM practitioners anymore?"

Dong Xiaoshuang smiled helplessly: "Even if we don't want to admit it, the TCM department in our TCM hospital has shrunk drastically. If it weren't for my master still being there, our TCM department would have declined like other hospitals."

"The hospital director would be jumping for joy if Master Zhong could come to our hospital to give lectures. After all, in their eyes, what place does traditional Chinese medicine hold?" Dong Xiaoshuang snorted in dissatisfaction, "If it weren't for the fact that my master is also a master... hmph~ hmph~"

The term "national master" naturally refers to a renowned doctor whose medical skills are recognized nationwide and who can be called a national master.

Dong Xiaoshuang is fortunate to have a coach who is a national champion.

It has to be said that a large part of the reason why Dong Xiaoshuang was able to be hired by this hospital is naturally because of her national champion mentor.

"Xiao Shuang, could you ask your master to introduce me to Dr. Zhong?" Li Zihua said casually, "Although there may be disagreements due to the different philosophies of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, we are both national-level doctors, so the relationship between us is naturally..."

"Zihua!" Dong Xiaoshuang interrupted Li Zihua before he could finish speaking.

Dong Xiaoshuang frowned in displeasure and said sternly, "Zihua, are you going to betray your sect?!"

"Master, Master, you are like a teacher and a father! As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. Since Master has agreed to accept you as an unofficial disciple, you are Master's disciple. How can you be so disloyal to your master and ancestors?!"

"..." Li Zihua frowned when he saw Dong Xiaoshuang's intense reaction.

Although he knew that the old-fashioned Dong Xiaoshuang would be extremely difficult to persuade, Li Zihua would not give up so easily for the sake of a better future.

Li Zihua said, suppressing her anger, "Xiao Shuang, I'm not like you."

"In the end, you also studied traditional Chinese medicine, while I studied clinical medicine. Although it's not completely unrelated to traditional Chinese medicine, I am indeed much weaker in this area," Li Zihua said, feigning sympathy. "Isn't that why your master is unwilling to formally accept me as his apprentice?"

"Besides, the so-called unofficial discipleship was only given to you by your master out of consideration for you as his disciple. It's not..."

"Zihua, stop talking." Dong Xiaoshuang took a deep breath, waved her hand and said, "I can't stop you from leaving the sect."

“But I will absolutely not beg Master to introduce you to Zhong Guoshou.” Dong Xiaoshuang said sternly, “Your betrayal of the sect has already hurt Master. How could I rub salt into Master’s wounds and ask Master to introduce you, his unfilial disciple, to Zhong Guoshou?”

"Xiaoshuang, Xiaoshuang, listen to me." Li Zihua quickly grabbed Dong Xiaoshuang, who was about to leave, and said, "Xiaoshuang, I'm doing this for our future!"

“In this society, Western medicine is more sought after than traditional Chinese medicine. Besides, I originally studied clinical medicine and have been studying Western medicine for five years. Now you want me to give up everything and start from scratch... Xiaoshuang, this is unrealistic,” Li Zihua analyzed logically.

“If I become Zhong Guoshou’s apprentice, if I have Zhong Guoshou’s guidance… then my future path, while not exactly smooth sailing, will at least be unobstructed!” As Li Zihua was speaking, Dong Xiaoshuang forcefully shook off Li Zihua’s hand and left.

Li Zihua called out helplessly, "Xiao Shuang, Xiao Shuang!"

Dong Xiaoshuang slammed the door shut behind her, leaned against the wooden door, slid down slowly, and sat on the beige tiled floor, closing her eyes gently.

Dong Xiaoshuang never told Li Zihua that the reason his master was unwilling to accept him as a disciple was because his master said he was wicked.

My master once said that those who study traditional Chinese medicine must be upright.

A righteous heart, a righteous body, righteous character, and righteous conduct.

Li Zihua's heart is not upright, and his conduct is even more so; it is presumptuous to talk about his future character.

People generally believe that traditional Chinese medicine is inferior to Western medicine, which is ridiculous that China's national treasure is thought so negatively by the world.

The essence of traditional Chinese medicine is something that everyone can see.

People are foolish and have always believed that the story of Bian Que seeing Duke Huan of Cai and seeing the disease in the skin and bones is just a legend and not true.

Little did they know that this ability to spot lesions at a glance is indeed a feature of traditional Chinese medicine, and it truly exists.

While Dong Xiaoshuang may not be able to do it now, she can certainly do it like her master, a national-level master of traditional Chinese medicine.

Unfortunately, just as Bian Que said, "To treat illness by observing the spirit, to cure it before it takes form, one's name will not be known beyond one's family. To cure an illness that is merely a hair's breadth, one's name will not be known beyond one's neighborhood. But to cut the blood vessels, administer poison, or treat the skin, one's name will be known throughout the land." This principle remains true both in ancient times and in the present.

People cannot see the essence of traditional Chinese medicine, so they hastily conclude that traditional Chinese medicine is inferior to Western medicine.

It's truly laughable, like trying to see the whole leopard from a single spot, or like the blind men touching an elephant.

Dong Xiaoshuang always understood Li Zihua's thoughts. The reason why Li Zihua wanted to become Shi Yiyi's apprentice was simply because he valued Shi Yiyi's status as a national champion.

The glory of being a disciple of a national champion can pave the way for Li Zihua's future career. Just as he himself said, even if it is not a meteoric rise, it will at least be smooth sailing.

Therefore, Li Zihua was willing to easily give up his five years of clinical medicine studies and switch to traditional Chinese medicine.

However, his motives were not entirely pure, and Shi Yiyi gave him a chance out of consideration for their relationship.

Now it seems……

Just as Shi Yiyi said, if a better opportunity were presented to Li Zihua, he would not hesitate to betray his sect.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't sad.

On one side is the lover she plans to spend her life with, and on the other side is her highly respected master.

As the person caught in the middle between the two, Dong Xiaoshuang was more distressed than either of them.

But the human heart is a poison that is difficult to cure, and Dong Xiaoshuang has no way to detoxify it.

The only thing that could comfort her was that everyone has their own ambitions. Although her thoughts were very different from Li Zihua's, at least these differences did not affect their relationship.

Dong Xiaoshuang took a deep breath and calmly opened the door. Looking at Li Zihua, who was still standing at the door waiting for her to calm down and for her to forgive her, she smiled faintly.

At least this feeling remains unchanged, and that's good...

At this moment, Dong Xiaoshuang naturally couldn't have imagined that some feelings were impure from the very beginning. Her belief that differences in opinion wouldn't affect her feelings was nothing but self-deception.
