Chapter 6: Encounter on the Plane

  Although Han Ankang's personality is relatively calm, his appreciation for beautiful women is more out of admiration and does not have any particularly bad desires. If it were that Wei Ge, seeing a beautiful woman taking the initiative to strike up a conversation, he would probably be overjoyed.

  Out of politeness, Han Ankang nodded and said: "Yes, are you also going to South Korea? Is it for tourism or something else?"

  Facing this boy who sat with her and still had a calm expression, the girl was also secretly angry. Due to professional habit, she maintained a smile and said: "I work in South Korea and went back home to visit my parents a few days ago. Because I missed the plane, I have to rush back to work in South Korea, so I came to Jilin Province for a transfer."

  "You're working abroad, it's quite tough, I think you're not very old, can't you find a job in your home country? You can also be with your parents, isn't that better?"

  It's really not easy to work abroad these days, every time something happens, you have to rush back by plane. Han Ankang calmly expressed his incomprehension as to why the girl had to go through so much hardship and still choose to work overseas.

  The girl was at a loss for words with Han Ankang's response. If her job could be changed so easily, she wouldn't have to work hard abroad and struggle to make a name for herself. Now that she had finally gained some reputation, how could she possibly miss this opportunity?

  The girl who couldn't explain it could only smile and say: "What you said makes sense, but changing jobs isn't something that can be done in a day or two."

  For the girl's explanation, Han Ankang seemed to understand and said: "That makes sense, with your attitude of not being afraid to change shifts for work, you should be a good employee."

  The girl who really couldn't continue this topic with Han Ankang could only nod and change the subject, saying: "Work! By the way, I think you're about my age. What did you do in South Korea this time?"

  "Distracted, I accompanied a university classmate to see someone off and helped him resolve some minor troubles. Speaking of which, this is actually my first time abroad. If that guy doesn't come pick me up later, I'll probably end up sleeping on the streets of Seoul."

  Thinking of the less than 1,000 yuan in his wallet, he remembered that every time they ate meat in South Korea, it cost several hundred yuan. Han Ankang was really worried that if the guy didn't come to pick him up, he estimated that he wouldn't even be able to afford a ticket back home.

  Maybe he'll have the chance to make some money too. Anyway, can't be a slave to money, but being able to enslave money isn't bad either. At least in the future when going abroad, won't have to worry about sleeping on the streets anymore.

  When Han Ankang said these words with a worried face, the girl rarely smiled and said: "It's okay, after all you are a doctor. In South Korea, doctors are highly respected. As long as you show your medical certificate, I think there will still be people who are willing to take you in. Hehe!"

  Looking at the girl's slightly large mouth, Han Ankang could only smile wryly and didn't say much. If it were Li Zongwei, he might have taken the bait and asked the girl for her contact information. Unfortunately, the girl happened to run into Han Ankang, who wasn't very interested in her today.

  The boy didn't say a word, and the girl mistakenly thought that her previous words had struck him. She hurriedly stopped smiling and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of you. What I meant was, actually, you don't have to worry. Since your friend said they would come pick you up, they probably won't stand you up, after all, they still need something from you! Besides, what I said earlier was also true. Being a doctor in South Korea is a very respected profession."

  Actually, Han Ankang didn't know how to respond to the girl's words just now, and he wasn't angry about it. He hurriedly explained: "It's okay, I'm just not used to talking to girls, plus I like being quiet usually. So, I don't know how to chat with you, but nice to meet you, my name is Han Ankang, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."

  After chatting for half a day without introducing himself, Han Ankang couldn't think of any other topic to discuss and finally mentioned his own name. In fact, people who know his personality are aware that when Han Ankang is willing to reveal his name, it means he thinks the other person is worth befriending.

  For the first time, she met such a frank or pure boy. The girl also felt rare and said in a low voice: "Dr. Han, nice to meet you, my name is Song Qian, please take care of me in the future."

  If it were another ordinary boy of the same age, hearing this name and seeing how she was dressed, he should have been able to guess her true identity. Unfortunately, since university, Han Ankang had rarely paid attention to entertainment news.

  If he really had to name the celebrities he knew, apart from some famous basketball and football stars, he could probably only come up with a few others. As for other entertainment celebrities, he really didn't know much about them.

  The girl originally thought that saying her name would make the other person guess her identity, and she felt a bit nervous. As a result, she was nervous for half a day, but the boy in front of her still had a calm face. It seemed that the name she said was ordinary. She thought to herself that her reputation needed to be strengthened domestically, and the girl continued: "You just said you're a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, so do you know how to perform acupuncture?"

  Perhaps nowadays, when it comes to traditional Chinese medicine, people think that only those who know acupuncture are somewhat capable. So Han Ankang nodded and said: "I know a little bit, I've been learning traditional Chinese medicine from my grandfather since I was young, so I still know some acupuncture."

  Hearing that Han Ankang was a family doctor, the girl also thought it was very interesting and said: "Then you should know how to take pulses? I saw on TV that people who practice traditional Chinese medicine seem to all diagnose illnesses by taking pulses. Why don't you try it out on me and see if my body has any problems?"

  If someone else had said this to Han Ankang, he might have thought they were provoking him, but seeing the curiosity on the girl's face, he knew she was another Chinese person who knew a little about traditional Chinese medicine but didn't quite believe in it. So he didn't say much and put the medical book in his hand on the flip board in front of him, gesturing for the girl to put her hand on top of his.

  Actually, when the girl said those words, she felt like she was crazy. How could she say such a taboo phrase about actively letting someone see her illness? However, since she had already spoken, she couldn't just say that what she said earlier was a joke!

  She then quickly put her hand on Han Ankang's medical book, and when Han Ankang's fingers touched hers with an unusually skilled touch, his calm expression turned serious. The girl also unexpectedly looked a bit psychologically tense. She thought to herself 'I'm just joking around, I won't really find out anything seriously wrong, will I?'

  Wait until Han Ankang had a while, took his fingers off the girl's pulse and smiled: "You are very healthy, just irregular diet and a little gastrointestinal problem. Also, you will be more uncomfortable on those days every month. Although it is possible to endure now when young, it will still have negative impact on body over time.

  If you trust my medical skills, I'll give you a prescription. After getting off the plane, go find a Chinese medicine clinic to buy and decoct the herbs yourself. If it's inconvenient for you to decoct the herbs, I'll leave you with a phone number. Once I've settled down after getting off the plane, whenever you want to take the medicine, just contact me.

  I'll go buy these herbs for you and decoct them, so when you arrive, you can just take them directly. After all, I'm also going to South Korea for the first time, and I don't know if they sell Chinese medicine on the list in South Korea. If not, I reckon it will have to wait until next time I return home to mail them to you. Those herbs are available at my place!

  If Han Ankang said that her stomach had a problem, Song Qian would still think that the other party saw through her identity and guessed it. However, as he continued to mention a secret that even her teammates didn't know much about, Song Qian felt both embarrassed and surprised that this young man could diagnose her illness just by feeling her pulse. It seemed that his medical skills were indeed trustworthy!

  She had been in South Korea for so many years, but she didn't know if there were any Chinese medicine shops in South Korea. She wanted to solve the hidden symptoms that often gave her headaches. Song Qian also exchanged phone numbers with Han Ankang very quickly. In addition, Han Ankang tore off a piece of paper and wrote down the traditional Chinese medicine prescription and decoction method for treating the girl's minor ailments very carefully.

  It also means that if Song Qian doesn't know how to decoct this Chinese medicine, he can buy the medicinal materials and contact him anytime. However, he has to wait until he confirms his accommodation in South Korea. Another thing is that he will only stay in South Korea for no more than a month. After all, he entered with a tourist visa, so he can't stay too long.

  It was the first time Song Qian had met a doctor who cared so much about his patients, and she felt that this was the kind of quality a doctor should have. She found the boy more mysterious and excellent at the same time. After getting off the plane, Song Qian decided to find some time to meet with him again.

  Song Qian, who was interested in a boy of similar age for the first time, chatted with Han Ankang on the plane from Gyeongsang to Seoul. Until the plane announced that it would land soon, Song Qian suddenly felt a little reluctant when she knew she had to part with the boy.

  Because for the first time, she found that in front of this boy who was always calm and composed at any time, she could let go of her guard against strangers and make friends with him sincerely. For her, who was fighting alone in a foreign country, it was undoubtedly a reaction that even she herself dared not believe. But she couldn't deceive her inner feelings, so she felt incredible!
