As a whole set of children's meals was taken out by Chen Mu.
The aroma of fried chicken instantly filled the entire school clinic.
Seeing the familiar Colonel Sanders logo on the bag, Professor Liu's brow furrowed more tightly.
Isn't this the universally recognized junk food?!
"Slurp——"
Liu Shuyi could barely control his drool.
"Ah!"
Liu Shuyi was still staring longingly at the Colonel Sanders meal, when suddenly he was lifted off the ground!
In the blink of an eye.
He found himself sitting in Chen Mu's office chair.
Chen Mu released his hand, gently pointed at the children's meal on the table, "This is the medicine I prescribed for you."
Liu Shuyi: "!!!"
Is there really something this good?
This Dr. Chen must be a miracle doctor!
Liu Shuyi didn't even have time to ponder Chen Mu's intentions and started devouring the fried chicken.
Watching his grandson, who was just diagnosed with anorexia, gorge himself on a pile of junk food.
Professor Liu, who was wise his entire life, was baffled...
"Xiao Chen, are you sure this child really has anorexia?"
At home, he had never seen his grandson eat so eagerly before.
But no matter how eagerly he eats!
It's still junk food!
Can children eat junk food?
Chen Mu returned to Professor Liu's side and massaged his leg muscles, "Actually, it's not really anorexia, it's just that the food made at home isn't to his taste, so he has no appetite."
Professor Liu's expression was serious, "Picky eating is not a good habit. Dr. Chen, I brought the child here not for you to give him junk food."
Hearing his grandfather's words, Liu Shuyi gulped nervously.
Cautiously looked in Chen Mu's direction.
His grandpa was very authoritative, and at home, none of the younger generation dared to disobey him!
Thinking this in his heart.
Liu Shuyi ate his burger even faster than before.
Once this Colonel Sanders meal was finished, who knew when he would have it next, so eat it first!
When he gets home, it doesn't matter if he gets scolded or punished, at least he got to eat it!
...
Chen Mu turned to glance at Liu Shuyi devouring the food, finding it somewhat amusing.
But when he turned back to face Professor Liu, his tone remained gentle.
Yet he wouldn't back down.
"Professor, I know your generation went through hard times, but may I boldly ask, what did the older generation strive and endure for?"
Professor Liu answered without hesitation, "Naturally, it was to provide a better life for future generations."
Chen Mu: "Exactly, in this era, picky eating is a minor issue. Solving your grandson's picky eating problem is simple. Just make more of what he likes to eat."
Professor Liu maintained a stern face and made no reply.
—
"Help! Professor Liu's expression now is exactly like my grandpa's when I was a picky eater as a child!"
"Young people might not see it as a big deal, but to the older generation, picky eating is almost an unforgivable sin!"
"In their era, having experienced famine, they understand the value of food better than we do."
"But facing food you don't like, even for a grown-up, it's hard to muster an appetite."
"Although we young people understand, convincing Professor Liu might still be a challenge."
"..."
—
The authority Professor Liu accumulated over the years was no joke.
As soon as Professor Liu's face turned serious, Su Bingbing stood at attention.
Instinctively feeling the pressure faced during student days from a teacher.
Dared not make a sound.
Liu Shuyi, gulping down soda, kept his eyes fixed on his grandpa.
Deep down, he still worried about Chen Mu.
The world of children is simple; in Liu Shuyi's view, because Chen Mu bought him a Colonel Sanders meal, Chen Mu is a good person!
He didn't want Chen Mu to be scolded by his grandpa.
—
In the whole room.
Only Chen Mu could still manage to smile in front of Professor Liu's overly serious expression.
"Or, I could analyze Liu Shuyi's picky eating issue from a medical perspective for you."
"You see, I've been treating your body for quite some time, and you still hold our Chinese medicine theory in high regard, right?"
Professor Liu nodded with a stern face, "I do respect it."
Previously, while working at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he had tried many Western medical treatments.
But they mostly could only prescribe some relief medication, without much progress in treatment.
However, at Chen Mu's place.
Some of the stubborn ailments doctors in Shangjing deemed incurable were slowly cured by Chen Mu's herbal decoctions, massages, and acupuncture.
Which overturned his preconceived notions about Chinese medicine.
Chinese medicine, enriched with the wisdom of Great Xia's ancestors, truly is remarkable.
The only pity is.
In today's society, compared to Western medicine, people's knowledge and understanding of Chinese medicine are still too limited.
Chen Mu: "From a medical perspective, children's taste buds are much more sensitive than those of adults. For example, most children don't like eating vegetables."
"It's not really because they're picky eaters. It's because they might taste bitterness that adults can't."
"What? Isn't Dr. Chen exaggerating? Vegetables aren't bitter at all?"
"Saying picky eating is normal for kids I can understand, but saying vegetables are bitter is just nonsense, right?"
"I study medicine, and Dr. Chen is actually correct. Children's taste buds are much more sensitive than those of adults. The reason we can't taste the bitterness of vegetables is that our taste has already begun to degrade."
"I'm only twenty, and you're saying my taste is degrading?!"
"I went to Baidu and quietly deleted the previous bullet comments. Kids can indeed taste the bitterness of vegetables..."
"Huh?"
"..."
—
Professor Liu began to not understand what Chen Mu was saying, "Vegetables are bitter..."
Halfway through his sentence.
Professor Liu suddenly remembered a few days ago when his wife was cooking.
The little grandson was fussing about not wanting to eat, insisting that the dishes they made were very bitter. At that time, he thought the child was just making trouble, so he gave the grandson a long lecture.
Upon reconsideration now.
Maybe what the grandson said back then was true?
Hearing what Chen Mu said, Liu Shuyi jumped up from the chair.
Hiding behind Chen Mu, he watched his grandfather nodding repeatedly, "Vegetables are indeed bitter! I told you before but you didn't believe me, now that the doctor has said it, you should believe it!"
Chen Mu smiled and patted Liu Shuyi's head behind him.
"Actually, there's another unscientific explanation."
"When a person particularly wants to eat something, it means their body is lacking something."
Professor Liu looked at Chen Mu for help: "Dr. Chen, what should I do about my grandson's anorexia?"
Mid-sentence.
Professor Liu glanced at Chen Mu's desk, noticing the remains of fried chicken.
He disapprovingly said, "I can't possibly buy these junk foods every day to treat his anorexia, can I?"
Chen Mu shook his head with a smile, "No need, really. Just consult him more when you shop for groceries, ask him what he wants to eat."
Liu Shuyi nodded repeatedly in agreement, hiding behind Chen Mu.
Actually, Grandma's cooking is quite good, but she doesn't make what he likes to eat.
Professor Liu's gaze fell on his little grandson, "Shuyi, what do you like to eat? Grandpa will buy everything you love to eat tomorrow, alright?"
Liu Shuyi shouted loudly, "Alright!"
"Grandpa, I want to eat stewed pig's trotters!"
"Buy!"
"I also want to eat cola chicken wings!"
"Buy!"
"I want to drink kelp pork rib soup!"
"Buy!"
"I also want to eat KFC!"
"Do you need a spanking?!"
"Grandpa! You have to follow the doctor's advice! Dr. Chen said my body lacks KFC!"
"..."
Chen Mu skillfully dodged, exposing Liu Shuyi directly under Professor Liu's cane.
Liu Shuyi wailed, "Dr. Chen, you sold me out!"
—
A few minutes later.
After being educated, Liu Shuyi became completely obedient.
Chen Mu had just finished the final step of the massage technique when Professor Liu, claiming he had other things to do, left with Liu Shuyi.
"Is it my illusion, or did Professor Liu seem much more spry than when he came in?"
"It doesn't seem to be your illusion; I feel the same way!"
"I'm increasingly convinced that Dr. Chen really knows something…"
"..."
—
As Professor Liu and his grandson left.
The school infirmary returned to its previous quietness.
Bingbing lounged lazily on the sofa, watching the figure in a white coat tidying up the food remnants on the desk.
"Dr. Chen, how did you come up with the idea of treating anorexia with KFC?"
Just as Chen Mu was about to answer.
Suddenly!
The school infirmary's landline rang violently.
"Hello, school infirmary."
"School doctor, I'm now downstairs at the infirmary, but my leg isn't in good shape..."
As soon as the call was connected, a timid girl's voice came through.
Chen Mu decided quickly: "Here's what we'll do. I'll come down wearing my white coat, and when you see me, just say you're the one who called."
"Thank you…"
"You're welcome."
Chen Mu promptly hung up the phone.
As he turned his head, he saw Bingbing looking stunned, raising an eyebrow, "What, not planning to come with me for a house call?"
Bingbing immediately jumped up from the sofa, eagerly grabbing the medical kit for Chen Mu.
"Of course, I'm coming with you!"
As they stepped out of the infirmary door.
Bingbing was still chattering, "Dr. Chen, I'm just curious; didn't you say university students have classes at this time? How come there are still students getting sick?"
Chen Mu rolled his eyes, "They don't fall sick according to my planned schedule..."
"Hello, are you the school doctor? I was the one who called!"
Chen Mu, hands in pockets, had just walked downstairs.
When he saw a girl sitting on the steps, waving vigorously in his direction.
As Chen Mu approached with Bingbing.
He saw a shiny steel needle sticking out of the girl's thigh!
Chen Mu found a pair of medical gloves in the medical kit, then squatted down to examine the girl's wound, "This needle seems to be stuck quite deep in your flesh, how did that happen?"
