Chapter 26 - Your Stomach Is Suited for Soft Food

Chapter 26: Your Stomach Is Suited for Soft Food“Doctor, next time, please make sure to inquire about a person’s gender first, alright?”

“It was rather embarrassing,” the first online friend admitted with a hint of helplessness.

“My mistake, my mistake, it’s entirely on me,” Lu Ming confessed, feeling equally embarrassed due to his nervousness that day.

“So, how do I address this irregular menstruation?” The first online friend inquired. She had been experiencing early or delayed periods with unusual bleeding.

“Have you taken any medication recently?” Lu Ming asked.

The first online friend nodded, “Yes.”

“Well, there shouldn’t be a significant issue based on my assessment. You’ve probably been consuming a lot of chilled beverages lately.”

“Have you been sitting on the sofa, indulging in ice cream straight from the container while watching TV?” Lu Ming inquired.

The first online friend was surprised and said, “No, Doctor, did you install surveillance cameras in my home or something?”

In reality, she had been sitting on her couch, enjoying ice cream straight from the tub while watching TV. This had become a daily ritual since the beginning of summer.

“Oh my goodness! This is unbelievable! How did he know that?”

“I’m starting to feel like I can’t keep any secrets from traditional Chinese medicine. It’s as if it can unveil everything!”

“This is incredible. He’s not just a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. He’s also a psychic!”

The viewers in the livestream room were once again amazed by Lu Ming’s abilities.

Lu Ming continued: “Now, as for the flavor of the ice cream…”

When Lu Ming mentioned this, the first online friend became even more bewildered.

Even the people in the room and the livestream viewers were now curious and eager to know what flavor of ice cream Lu Ming was about to reveal.

“I’m not sure about that,” Lu Ming said with innocence in his big eyes.

The people in the room: “…”

Livestream viewers: […]

Everyone was left speechless. After all the suspense, they thought he would disclose the ice cream flavor, but he left them hanging. What a twist!

The first online friend could only feel three cold sweatdrops on her cheek. You have a great sense of humor.

“So, you’re saying that my irregular menstruation is caused by eating ice cream?” She asked.

Lu Ming nodded, “Cold exposure can lead to a light or even absent menstrual flow. This is because cold exposure can cause excessive contraction of pelvic blood vessels. So, during your period, it’s important to stay warm and avoid dampness. However, that’s just one factor. Another reason for your irregular menstruation is your emotional state. Try reducing your TV time and avoid becoming too emotionally invested, crying excessively, or empathizing too much with the characters.”

Lu Ming’s medical advice left her surprised. Upon hearing Lu Ming’s explanation, the first online friend was astounded. Due to her habit of watching a heart-wrenching historical drama with a pitiful male lead character, she often ended up shedding tears. Sᴇaʀᴄh the NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“You can even figure this out?” She couldn’t help but be impressed. Lu Ming was truly remarkable.

“I just made an informed guess,” Lu Ming replied. “I observed your swollen eyes, which suggested you’ve been crying recently. Additionally, you admitted to enjoying ice cream while watching TV earlier. When I combined this with the fact that many girls enjoy watching romantic dramas, it led me to assume that you’ve been watching a romantic drama and getting emotional about it,” Lu Ming explained his reasoning.

“You can do that too?” The first online friend was deeply impressed. “Wow… Not only is he a doctor, but he’s also a detective.”

“I wouldn’t be a doctor without some skills, right?” Lu Ming replied with a hint of humor. “I might have to see a traditional Chinese doctor again. I’m worried my little secrets will be exposed.”

“He can’t deduce my chat history with my best friend, can he? Those chat logs are so revealing. Just one page could get us into trouble.”

“I can’t believe it. Let’s see the chat logs.”

“I can’t believe it either. I want to see.”

“I can’t believe it either!”

Some viewers in the livestream were starting to feel a bit “apprehensive” about traditional Chinese medicine. After all, nobody wanted their privacy and little secrets to be exposed.

However, there’s a significant contradiction here: in front of a doctor, patients have no privacy. This is because doctors must consider all aspects of a patient’s condition to assess the situation accurately. If a patient withholds information due to privacy concerns, it could potentially be life-threatening.

Of course, doctors have professional ethics and are not allowed to disclose a patient’s medical condition or privacy to others, even family members.

“Doctor, what should I do then? Does this mean I can’t watch TV anymore?” The first online friend asked.

“But the TV show is really good, and there are only three episodes left until the grand finale. I want to finish watching it.”

“Can you let me finish watching it? I’ve been crying for several days, and it won’t make much difference these last few days.”

The first online friend began negotiating with Lu Ming.

Lu Ming couldn’t help but find it amusing but replied, “That’s fine. However, avoid eating ice cream from now on.

After finishing the TV series, you can watch comedy to lift your spirits. Also, quit smoking. Smoking is one of the factors contributing to your irregular menstruation.”

The first online friend was surprised, “You could tell I smoke?”

Lu Ming pointed to her teeth, which were visibly stained.

“Your teeth are discolored, indicating you’re a long-term smoker. Consider cleaning your teeth. Smoking can leave stains on your teeth and darken them.”

“Cleaning your teeth can remove the stains caused by smoking, leaving your teeth cleaner and providing better protection,” Lu Ming explained.

The first online friend nodded repeatedly and noted Lu Ming’s advice.

“Alright, you’re all set now. Next.”

Lu Ming invited the second online friend forward. However, this person was a bit hesitant.

“Maybe I’ll pass,” he said, fearing some of his little secrets would be exposed, leading to social embarrassment.

So, he decided to let the third online friend go first.

“Cautious,” the third online friend teased him and stepped forward to let Lu Ming check his pulse.

Lu Ming placed his hand on the third online friend’s wrist.

After a moment, Lu Ming clicked his tongue and said, “Your stomach is better suited for soft foods.”

The third online friend: ???
