Chapter 239: 239 Divine Doctor Overwhelming the City (Third Update)

Shen Minjie reached again for a glass of water and handed it to the young woman. "Take a sip of water, swallow the medicine, and then get a good night’s sleep. When you wake up, the height-increasing surgery will be done."

"Okay," the young woman nodded lightly.

South Bridge No.2 Middle School.

In the office.

The English teacher, with a benevolent look on her face, watched the girl standing before her. "The English speech competition starts tomorrow. Is your speech ready?"

Chu Jin nodded. "Don’t worry, it’s all prepared. This is the original script, please have a look."

The English teacher took the speech and her calm gaze turned to shock.

It was a speech centered around the theme of life.

The article used many grammatical structures not yet taught in the senior year, with emphatic expressions, seemingly simple sentences that provoke deep thought, possessing a philosophical tinge that was refreshing to listen to, rich and exciting content that captivated the audience—in short, it did not seem the work of a senior high school student.

Her understanding of life was indeed profound.

Even after teaching English for more than a decade, she doubted she had this level of skill.

She had seen the changes in Chu Jin these past days, as her homeroom teacher.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the student once dismissed as incompetent had transformed so greatly.

With her excitement under control, the English teacher patted Chu Jin’s shoulder and offered her generous praise, "Chu Jin! You’ve really done well!"

Chu Jin smiled slightly. "Thank you, teacher."

The English teacher placed the speech on the desk and looked up to ask, "Have you memorized it completely?"

"Yes, I’ve memorized it all," Chu Jin confirmed with a nod.

Pleased, the English teacher nodded and tapped her fingers on the desk. "Then recite it to me, please."

"Okay," Chu Jin responded softly.

"It’s my honor to speak..." Words of English flowed from her mouth, each phrase crisply reaching the ear. Her expression was serene, her voice clear and melodic, with perfect pronunciation and fluent, aristocratic intonation that was highly engaging.

It was a very pleasing voice.

The English teacher was near entranced by it.

She even wondered if Chu Jin had lived abroad for a long time or if, perhaps, she was a mixed-race child.

The 8-minute speech ended too quickly for the English teacher, who was still immersed in her voice, reluctant to let it go.

"Chu Jin," after a moment, the English teacher looked up at Chu Jin, "your spoken English truly is outstanding! Don’t be nervous tomorrow on stage, and don’t feel pressured. Just maintain today’s standard."

Chu Jin nodded slightly. "Okay, teacher. I understand. Is there anything else?"

The English teacher patted Chu Jin’s shoulder, filled with gratification. "No, that’s all. You can go back to your classroom."

Chu Jin turned and headed back to the classroom.

"Jin, Jin," just as she sat down, Miao Xinran put down her pen and leaned in to ask, "What did Ms. Wu call you for just now?"

Without hurry, Chu Jin opened her mathematics textbook to Chapter 53. "It was for the English speech competition tomorrow. She had me recite the speech for her."

Miao Xinran had read the speech, so she excitedly said, "How was it? Did Ms. Wu get so excited that she cried?"

"It wasn’t as exaggerated as you’re making it out to be!" Chu Jin’s voice was calm. "She just told me not to be nervous tomorrow, not to feel pressured, and to maintain a normal level."

"Divine Doctor, Divine Doctor!" While they were speaking, a chubbier male classmate approached, looking very anxious. "Divine Doctor, what’s wrong with the back of my neck? There’s a patch of tiny bumps. Is it serious? Am I okay? Am I going to die?"

Speaking, the male student squatted down, pulled open his collar, and exposed his neck for the two to see.

His fair nape was covered in dense, shiny pimples; packed tightly together with some showing white tips. It was a bit distressing to look at.

Xinran immediately averted her gaze.

Ever since Jin had saved Wang Han during PE class with acupuncture, her classmates stopped calling her Chu Jin and instead jokingly called her "Divine Doctor."

Jin had corrected them many times, but to no effect, so she eventually let them be.

After all, it wasn’t anything harmful.

Jin glanced over and then slowly said, "It’s okay, when you go back just pay attention to your diet and avoid spicy and greasy food. Make sure to sleep on time and get at least eight hours of sleep a day. It’s not a big issue, don’t worry."

"Really, it’s nothing?" the male student expressed his doubt, "Not only do I have a lot of bumps on my neck, but I’m also losing a lot of hair. Divine Doctor, why don’t you give me a needle too?"

Jin let out a light laugh, "No need, just keep your mood up and pay attention to your diet and sleep. Within half a month, these symptoms will slowly disappear."

"Really no need for a needle? Then what sickness do I have? Why did I suddenly start getting bumps and losing hair?"

Jin gently shook her head, "Really no need, it’s not a big problem; it’s just irregular living habits and long-term consumption of fried and spicy food which have disrupted your hormone balance. Just follow my advice, go back, and take good care of yourself."

Listening to Jin’s words, the male student touched his head, "Or maybe you should just give me a needle, otherwise I won’t feel at ease."

"Acupuncture is useless for hormone imbalances," Jin continued, "this needs internal treatment."

The student was still not convinced, "Really no need for a needle? I feel like my condition is quite serious, it doesn’t seem like a normal hormone imbalance. Why don’t you take a closer look?"

Before Jin could speak, Xinran, standing nearby, grabbed an English textbook from the table and called out to the boy by whacking him with it, "Fatty! Will you ever be done? They said you’re fine, and you’re still here asking for it, whining like a woman. Isn’t it annoying?"

"Alright, alright." Jin took the book from Xinran’s hand, then pulled out a transparent little bottle from under the desk and handed it to the male student. The clear bottle contained colorful granules. "If you’re not reassured, you can take these pills. This is our family’s ancestral Miracle Drug; it’s really effective."

The male student took the small bottle, thanked Jin, "Thank you, Divine Doctor," and left satisfied.

"Jin, was that really your family’s ancestral Miracle Drug?" Xinran asked somewhat indignantly, "Did you just give it away to that fatty that easily?"

Jin’s lips slightly curled up and she whispered, "Where’s the ancestral Miracle Drug? It’s just some ordinary candy beans, purely for peace of mind."

"Damn! You’re so bad," Xinran laughed, "Jin, oh Jin, I didn’t expect you to be like this."

Jin coughed lightly and chuckled, "That’s why everyone calls me ’Brother Jin,’ right?"

The day’s lessons ended quickly.

When school was out in the evening, Qingyi was already waiting for her at the school gate.

"Brother Jin, Brother Jin!" Qingyi waved excitedly when she saw Jin approaching.

Jin walked quickly over and greeted her, "Qingyi."

Qingyi looped her arm through Jin’s and walked towards a parked black sedan outside the school gates, "Brother Jin, I’ve been waiting for you for a while. Let’s go, my driver will drop you off on the way home."

"Okay," Jin nodded lightly, "then I’ll have to trouble your family’s driver."

"Who are we to each other? Don’t mention trouble!" Qingyi laughed, "Besides, my mom told me to do this; you’re now my mom’s prized darling."

Looking at the familiar scenery outside the window, Jin spoke softly, "You can stop here."

"Brother Jin, why are we stopping here?" Qingyi looked around with a puzzled expression.

Jin’s lips formed a sly smile, "Well, I moved; my new house is nearby. Walking back from here is a good chance to exercise. You must visit when you have time, okay?"

Qingyi nodded and said with a mischievous smile, "Definitely. I’m so bored at home with no one to keep me company. I plan to practically move into your house after the college entrance exams; you won’t mind, will you?"

Jin arched an eyebrow, "Of course not. Who are we to each other?"

As they talked, the car came to a steady stop.

Jin opened the car door, stepped out, and waved goodbye to Qingyi, "See you tomorrow."
