"I attended your lecture the other day and created a workout plan for arm strength based on it. I’ve been following the plan for the past few days." "Mr. Wilson, I’ve attached a photo of the plan. Could you take a look and give me some feedback?" Shortly after, another message arrived: "By the way, you don’t need to return the acupuncture needles. My family has plenty of them. My grandfather loves traditional Chinese medicine and has a large collection. The ones I lent you are just a basic set." The next message was a voice recording, spoken in a pleasant and melodic female voice. Hearing the voice, Joseph immediately remembered—wasn’t this the student who had lent him the acupuncture needles during his substitute lecture? Her name was Lindsay Anderson. "Ah, so it’s Lindsay Anderson! I didn’t add a note when you friended me—sorry about that." "Why didn’t you reach out sooner after adding me?" Joseph replied politely. "I figured Mr. Wilson must be very busy, so I didn’t want t

"Ahem, nothing… I wasn’t looking at anything!" Joseph cleared his throat, coughing awkwardly. He forced himself to look away and picked up the glass of water on the table, taking a sip to calm himself."Pfft!"Alice couldn’t help but laugh at Joseph’s flustered expression."What’s so funny?" Joseph asked, clearly uncomfortable."Nothing!" Alice replied, her lips curling into a sly smile."Joseph, my hair’s a bit long. Could you help me dry it?" Alice ran her fingers through her damp hair, making her request with a hint of expectation in her tone."That’s not a big deal. I’m not busy with anything," Joseph replied. He got up, grabbed the hairdryer, and plugged it in. Standing behind Alice, he began drying her hair.However, as he stood behind her, his vantage point made it easier for him to see her cleavage and the soft, creamy curves of her chest.Joseph’s heart raced even faster, and he found it increasingly difficult to stay composed. He had to force himself to look elsewhere, avoid

"Joseph, I’m so silly. I forgot… I’m still on my period. Ugh… I’m sorry, Joseph!"Reading the message, Joseph exhaled a deep breath. Oddly enough, he felt a wave of relief wash over him."Don’t worry about it. Get some rest. There are some things that shouldn’t happen just yet…" Joseph replied.Alice quickly responded."I know you’re thinking about what’s best for me, but knowing you’re holding back feels even harder for me."Joseph stared at her reply for a moment before responding calmly: "It’s fine. Just rest early. Tomorrow morning, we can go for a run together."Alice sent back another message almost instantly."Okay. I’ll read for a bit and work on some assignments, then go to bed. You should rest early too!"This time, it was a voice message. Joseph listened to it, smiled faintly, and replied with a simple "Good." After that, he didn’t continue the conversation.Sunday passed quietly. Neither Joseph nor Alice went anywhere; they stayed home and enjoyed a peaceful day of rest. I

"Actually, I didn’t plan on giving a formal lecture today.""For our first session in the Acupuncture and Tuina class for Groups Five and Six, I intend to diagnose every one of you."Joseph’s gaze swept across the classroom as he continued, "In my opinion, everyone here is sick."His words landed like a thunderclap, leaving the students visibly stunned. What did he just say? "Everyone here is sick"? Wasn’t that essentially an insult?"Of course, saying you’re sick isn’t meant as an insult," Joseph clarified with a faint smile."What I mean is that traditional Chinese medicine is a discipline that emphasizes systemic, preventive, and curative approaches.""By systemic, I mean that learning TCM isn’t about mastering one isolated subject. The various branches of TCM are interconnected, forming a comprehensive system. Preventive means TCM can help maintain the body’s balance and prevent illnesses before they occur. As for curative, it’s self-explanatory—TCM seeks not only to treat symptom

The students’ chatter grew louder as their admiration for Joseph reached new heights.Joseph, however, seemed oblivious to the commotion. As he carefully completed the prescription, he handed it to the student and said, "In addition to taking this formula as directed, you’ll also need to change a few bad habits.""Professor Wilson, what habits? Tell me, and I’ll change them immediately!" the student replied earnestly, his tone filled with unwavering respect."You don’t eat much meat, do you?" Joseph asked, his tone deliberate and pointed."Professor Wilson, you can tell even that? How did you figure it out?" The thin young man stared at Joseph in shock, his face full of disbelief.The surrounding students were equally stunned. How could Joseph deduce someone’s dietary habits just by observing them? They exchanged curious glances, their admiration for him growing by the second."And if I’m not mistaken," Joseph continued, maintaining his air of mystery, "this morning, you had vegetable

"Ha ha ha! Bro, we’re all men here—we get it." "Professor Wilson is too sharp. No need to explain, my friend. We all understand!" "Yeah, yeah, don’t pretend. The professor already knows!" The classroom erupted into hearty laughter again. The young man could only scratch his head awkwardly, his face flushed with embarrassment."Your eyes are sunken, your lips are pale. If you keep this up, your body is going to collapse—and you might be risking your life," Joseph suddenly shifted his tone, his gaze turning serious."Have you ever… fainted during masturbation?" he asked bluntly.The question hit the student like a thunderbolt. He froze, his face a mix of shock and disbelief. "Professor Wilson, you mean… this could actually kill me?""It usually doesn’t lead to death," Joseph replied, his tone calm but piercing, "but there are times when it might feel worse than death.""Picture this: years from now, you’re successful in your career and married to a beautiful wife. But when the time c

Two hours passed—neither too long nor too short—and Joseph finally completed the diagnoses for all the students. As expected, he was surrounded by a throng of students after class, answering questions for over half an hour before he could free himself. Fortunately, he had no other classes scheduled for the day; otherwise, he would surely have fallen behind.Leaving the classroom, Joseph made his way toward his office. The intense two-hour session had left him mentally drained, and his head felt slightly heavy. Stepping out of the elevator, he rubbed his temples in an attempt to ease the tension.But just as he rounded the corner— "Ah!" A sharp, high-pitched scream pierced the air. Joseph collided with a woman carrying a cup of water. The unexpected impact caused the entire contents of the cup to spill onto her chest, soaking a large portion of her blouse."Excuse me! Do you even watch where you’re going?!" the woman exclaimed, her voice carrying a mix of irritation and elegance.

“Oh, my, Professor Wilson, your dedication is truly admirable! If Martin knew how much you cared, he’d probably be moved to tears,” Baker remarked, genuinely impressed.“You flatter me. As the saying goes, ‘No distinction in teaching, boundless compassion.’ As educators, we should care not only for our students but also for our colleagues. Knowing that he’s in pain makes me deeply uncomfortable. Late at night, I—” Joseph paused, seemingly searching for the right words.“Late at night, you… what? Cried under your blanket?” Baker interjected, half-joking.“Yes, exactly. I cried my heart out every night, thinking about his suffering,” Joseph replied with a straight face, playing along. There was no way he’d admit he’d been laughing under the covers at Martin’s predicament.“Professor Wilson, your compassion knows no bounds!” Baker exclaimed.“You’re too kind, Professor Baker. As I said, ‘No distinction in teaching.’” Joseph smiled politely.“Oh, right—I’m not sure of Charles Martin’s exa

"The needles stored in flames are imbued with pure yang energy; those encased in ice are infused with pure yin energy. As for the flowing water, it represents the ultimate balance of strength and gentleness. The needles preserved in water are both smooth and delicate, yet sharp and unyielding," Joseph remarked as he examined the three sets, his tone thoughtful."Professor Wilson, you truly have a discerning eye," Philip said, impressed."The needles kept in flames are called the Forged Flame Needles. As the name suggests, they were repeatedly forged and tempered in intense fire.""The ones encased in ice are the Eternal Ice Needles. During their creation, they were soaked in a special medicinal solution for forty-nine days, then sealed in ice for another forty-nine days to preserve the medicinal properties.""This process was repeated nine times, imbuing each needle with nine layers of medicinal efficacy that are highly beneficial to the human body.""As for the needles in flowing wat

"If I’ve said I’ll teach you, then of course it exists," Joseph replied with a reassuring smile."Professor Wilson, come with me. I’ll show you my silver needle collection," Philip Anderson said, pulling Joseph by the arm as they left the apothecary. It turned out that the silver needles were not stored in the same room but in a separate, more secure location.Seeing this, Richard Anderson followed after them, but Lindsay had already finished wrapping the herbs and exited the apothecary with Tristan Flores.Under Philip Anderson’s guidance, Joseph was led to the third floor. They stopped in front of a locked room, and Philip carefully retrieved a key to unlock the door."Lindsay, Old Flores, and Professor Wilson, come on in.""Richard, you stay out!" Philip said abruptly, turning to his son."What? Dad, why? You never let me into this room. Now you’re letting everyone else in, but not me?"Richard Anderson looked utterly bewildered."You’re not a doctor. What would you even do in here

"Exactly, Professor Wilson. This ability is incredible. I’d love to learn it myself. How did you manage to train such precision?" Lindsay asked, her face full of eager curiosity."It’s not something you deliberately train for," Joseph explained with a faint smile. "If you handle enough herbs over time, you naturally develop a sense for their weight.""Like water wearing down stone or an iron rod being ground into a needle—if you dedicate yourself to something wholeheartedly, over time, you’ll reach heights you never imagined possible.""The key lies in ‘dedication.’ You must focus your heart and mind on feeling the weight of the herbs."Joseph’s tone was calm yet carried a profound wisdom, his words striking a chord with everyone present."What a beautiful lesson in focus and devotion," Philip Anderson said with admiration, his eyes filled with respect."Sir, the truth is, I came here today to borrow a set of silver needles. Has Lindsay mentioned this to you?" Joseph asked, steering t

"Old Flores is right—this is an incredible stroke of fate," Joseph said with a faint smile, his tone tinged with a hint of wonder. "The fragments in this ancient text, combined with the incomplete formula passed down by my master, have come together to form a complete prescription.""I never expected such a coincidence to exist in this world."His words left everyone astonished."Isn’t that something? It seems our family and Professor Wilson are deeply connected by fate. Who would’ve thought that, though I’ve never met your master, I’ve already shared a profound connection with him through his work!"Philip Anderson’s voice was filled with emotion, his excitement almost palpable."Sir, please keep this prescription for yourself. As a fellow physician, I won’t bother explaining the finer details. Simply follow the listed ingredients and dosages, and it will suffice," Joseph said casually, his tone lighthearted."Professor Wilson, please come with me," Philip Anderson suddenly said, gra

"Naturally!" Philip Anderson immediately turned to Lindsay Anderson and said, "Lindsay, fetch the pen, ink, and paper!" Lindsay nodded obediently and quickly retrieved the requested items, placing them neatly on the table. "Professor Wilson, please enlighten us!" Philip Anderson gestured invitingly, his respect for Joseph evident. "Then I shall do my best." Joseph picked up the brush, dipped it lightly in ink, and began to write on the blank sheet of paper. He preferred to write prescriptions with a brush, believing that medicine was not only a science but also an art. To him, prescribing medicine and saving lives were acts of profound significance, deserving of a certain ceremonial reverence. As Joseph wrote the names of the first two ingredients, the room collectively gasped in astonishment. "Professor Wilson, your handwriting is extraordinary!" Richard Anderson couldn’t help but blurt out, visibly impressed. Even Philip Anderson and Tristan Flores were captivated. The stren

"I’ve just had more opportunities to practice over the years. It’s nothing worth mentioning," Joseph replied modestly. "Professor Wilson, how about giving us a demonstration?" Tristan Flores suddenly suggested. "A demonstration? What do you have in mind?" Joseph asked with a smile. "Professor Wilson, Richard just got out of the hospital. How about you check him over to see if there’s anything else wrong with him? Let us witness your skills firsthand." Philip Anderson’s tone carried a hint of anticipation. "Sure, that’s simple enough," Joseph agreed with a slight smile. "Great! Professor Wilson, please take a good look at me. Let me know if there’s anything I need to watch out for so I don’t run into trouble later," Richard chimed in, immediately sitting down in front of Joseph. Joseph reached out, ready to take Richard’s pulse. But just as he was about to begin, Philip Anderson interrupted him. "Hold on, Professor Wilson. Let me go first." "I haven’t taken his pulse since h

“Don’t you think Professor Wilson is incredibly young?” Laura said, peeking out the window to glance at Joseph’s car. “That’s obvious, isn’t it? You don’t need to point it out,” Richard replied, growing impatient. “He’s young, talented, and good-looking. He’s not much older than our daughter,” Laura continued, her tone thoughtful. “That car out there—that’s his, right? It’s beautiful. Must’ve cost a fortune.” “Of course, it’s a luxury vehicle. Easily worth a million. If we sold our house, we might just be able to afford it. What, are you interested in him now?” Richard joked. “You’re so inappropriate! Do I look like someone who’d attract a man like him?!” Laura shot back, punching him lightly on the shoulder. “Then what’s the point of all this?” Richard asked with a chuckle. “Didn’t you notice the way our daughter was looking at Professor Wilson? There’s something… peculiar about it,” Laura said, a sly smile spreading across her face. “Peculiar? How so? I didn’t notice anythin

Joseph nodded and started the car, driving into the complex. He had to admit, the neighborhood was indeed large. While its size wasn’t an issue, the sheer number of turns and side streets made it easy to get lost. Without someone guiding him, he might have spent ages circling around. The area itself wasn’t particularly upscale, and the buildings showed signs of age. However, the maintenance was impeccable, and the surroundings exuded a quiet charm. Considering Richard Anderson’s profession, Joseph guessed that most of the residents here were likely public servants—teachers, civil servants, and the like. “Turn right up ahead, then left, and then another right. We’re almost there,” Lindsay instructed. “Got it.” Joseph followed her directions, maneuvering the car carefully through the winding streets. A few minutes later, they arrived at a spacious clearing. Ahead, near the roadside, stood a three-story house. The house was sizable, with a well-maintained garden in the front. The

“So, according to you, your Mason Alvarez has a strong sense of ‘romantic ethics’? She’d actually ask permission before stealing someone’s boyfriend?” Joseph couldn’t resist mocking her logic. “Believe it or not, that’s just the kind of person she is.” “Look at the shirt she bought you. Or the way she interacts with you. She’s completely honest and direct with people she’s comfortable with. But not many people get to know her well enough to see that side of her. Sometimes, I think she’s a little pitiful. Someone like her must feel so lonely.” Alice sighed softly, her voice tinged with genuine sympathy. “You’re too kind and too pure for your own good, kiddo.” Joseph chuckled as he reached out to ruffle her hair affectionately. “By the way, tomorrow afternoon, I need to stop by a student’s house to pick up a set of silver needles. I’ll also be staying for dinner. Let me know when your classes end so I can pick you up.” Joseph decided it was best to let Alice know in advance. “Hu
