Liu Nanwei had barely finished speaking when the door to the infirmary was pushed open by a sweat-drenched Li Shouzhong.
Seeing Xu Lai, his eyes lit up. "Doctor Xu, you've finally returned! Please, have a seat."
Xu Lai touched his nose. I feel oddly like a guest on Li Shouzhong's turf.
"Doctor Xu, how exactly did you restore the unconscious boy's heartbeat with a single finger the other day?" Li Shouzhong's eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.
Although Zhou Feng was at loggerheads with Xu Lai, he secretly perked up his ears. He wanted to know the answer too; that single finger had left too deep an impression on him.
Xu Lai paused, taken aback. That brief hesitation led Li Shouzhong to a misunderstanding. He assumed this was one of Xu Lai's secret family techniques, one he was unwilling to share. "I seem to be too eager," he said with a wry smile. "If it's an inherited technique... please, just forget I asked."
