(Episode 12: Semen Cassiae: Sweet, Bitter,
Salty in Taste, Slightly Cold in Nature,

Belongs to the Liver and
Large Intestine Meridians,

Clears Heat and Improves Vision)

What am I doing?

I'm just here to ask him to
revise my application materials.

What am I thinking about?

Here, have some soup.

This is chicken soup, you know.

Okay.

Thank you, Mr. Shen.

That's enough.

By the way, Dad.

Mom.

I've already sent my application materials

to the study abroad agency.

They will forward them to the school.

That's good.

At least one thing is done.

What did the agency say?

Do they think you can get the offer?

I've added all the practical cases

from this period.

The agency said the content is quite rich.

I just hope it gets approved now.

Sounds like there's hope.

Keep it up.

Okay.

Li Jie has left.

Sir, two donuts, please.

Alright. Coming right up.

Here.

Thank you.

Oh right,

what did the agency
contact you about today?

Did they need any materials?

There's no problem with the materials,

just some minor edits needed.

So, if you get the offer,

when can you go abroad?

Feb-

February.

February?

(The time difference between
China and Switzerland)

I have to go abroad in February.

With a seven-hour time difference

and such a long distance,

I guess

I probably won't be able to
see Dr. He for a long time.

Shen Xifan,

being your boyfriend is too exhausting.

You going abroad to study

will cause so much trouble
for the people around you.

Why am I only realizing
now that you're so selfish?

Forget it.

Think about it yourself.

Maybe it's time for me to wake up.

The overall content is fine.

Next, you'll need to add some more cases.

This topic is excellent.

It's very meaningful.

Breast cancer

is one of the most common
tumors among women.

However,

though it has the highest incidence rate,

breast cancer

is preventable, treatable, and curable.

At present, in our country,

we have already established a
relatively complete and mature system

for early screening and treatment

of breast cancer,

which benefits many women.

This is very significant.

During the treatment of breast cancer,

how to use TCM methods

to alleviate patients' suffering

and help female patients

develop a healthy, positive mindset

to face both their illness

and future

is the direction we will explore next.

Yes.

Besides,

this is also

our original intention for
choosing this topic this time.

Let's end our discussion here for today.

Everyone, take a break.

Thank you, Professor.

Suye, are you in a hurry
to go back today as well?

Yesterday, I accidentally interrupted

his date with Manager Shen.

If you have another date today,

don't waste any time.

Just go.

Shen...

Shen Xifan?

It's not a date.

I'm just meeting her to discuss something.

At home.

At home?

At home?

At home?

It's nothing. It's just that...

we live in the same neighborhood,

so it's more convenient to talk at home.

Yes.

It's more convenient at home.

It's more convenient at home.

There's no cafe in the neighborhood.

No cafe, huh?

I'm still pursuing her.

Still what?

Still pursuing her.

You're still...

Have you won her over?

Since I'm still pursuing her,
how could I have won her over?

You pursued her all the way to her house?

Dr. He,

congratulations.

Go for it.

Go for it, Dr. He.

You can do it, Dr. He.

I was wondering why you
didn't go to the blind date event

last time.

Turns out, you already
have someone in mind.

You guys really like gossip.

It's alright.

I guess everyone in the
hospital knows by now?

Basically, yeah.

Is she pretty?

Let's have dinner sometime,

and you should ask her
out so we can check her out.

Don't rush.

I haven't won her over yet.

Who is she? Which
girl is so hard to pursue?

Got a photo?

I'll help you analyze it

and give you some advice.

You?

Give me some advice?

Save it.

Are you looking down on me?

I'm quite experienced.

Really.

Let me take a look!

Let me check out the news.

This one's interesting.

Most of today's post-1995
generation are single

because their social circles are too small.

They prefer staying at home,

don't socialize much,

are busy with work,

and have really high
standards for a partner.

Ms. Liu, look at this news.

It's a vicious cycle, you know?

Really?

Think about it.

You don't socialize,

so your social circle is inevitably small,

but your standards for a partner

are still super high.

This news really

hits the...

Why are you yelling?

You're putting pressure on our Ms. Shen.

I'm not.

I'm sorry, Ms. Shen.

Can you learn from me?

Since the last time
she went on a blind date

with that little TCM guy
and it didn't work out,

did I mention it?

No.

Did I mention it?

No, you didn't.

Whether he's a golden-collar
worker in a foreign enterprise

or a tall, handsome guy

working in the government,

it's all useless.

You can't force it.

True.

That's right.

Wait.

Before concluding that it's forced,

she should look at the photo first.

Right? What if he gives a good impression?

Right?

Take a look at his photo.

Ms. Liu.

It...

Why are you talking to me?

Talk to your dad.

I'm not the one who read the news.

Mr. Shen,

It doesn't...

seem appropriate, does it?

What's wrong?

What if his goal is marriage?

But what about me?
I'm going abroad to study.

That will be a huge gap

between the two of us.

It's not appropriate.

That makes sense.

That...

Wait.

Make sense?

Really?

Does it make sense?

No.

Yes, it does make sense.

It makes a bit of sense.

You see,

what Ms. Shen is thinking
about is life planning.

So,

we should look at the photo first.

Let's look at the photo.

The photo is...

here.

What are you doing?

I forgot to open it earlier,

and the photo has expired.

Look.

B-But...

But...

you can still see

his general shape.

Ms. Shen.

Ms. Shen.

Let me take a look at his general shape.

Square-shaped, not bad.

Ms. Shen,

I'll send you his name

and phone number now.

Also,

I've made an appointment for you.

I'll send you the name of the restaurant.

Remember to be there on Friday night.

You made an appointment so soon?

Is it too soon?

Is it too soon?

Is Friday too soon?

We naturally made

the appointment.

It's not even today.

I don't think it's too soon.

Yeah.

This is great.

Let's read more news

while eating in the future.

I'll have to deal with them again.

Ms. Liu,

why hasn't the guy I'm
on the blind date with

come yet?

Ask him for me.

Hello, Miss.

Would you like to order now?

Sorry.

My friend is not here yet.

Can you wait a little longer?

He's late?

Let me ask him.

Miss,

have some candies first.

Take your time.

Thank you.

Xiangya,

this is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.

I got stood up on my blind date.

How about coming out and
hanging out with me later?

Ms. Shen,

I can't reach him.

Why don't you leave first?

Find a nice restaurant

and eat something delicious.

I already gave that
matchmaker a good scolding.

He's so rude.

Manager Shen.

Li Jie.

What a coincidence.

Why are you here?

I'm here to meet a friend.

Why are you here?

We're having a class reunion.

Well, have fun at the reunion.

I'm going out to find a place to eat.

It's a little expensive here.

Wait a minute.

Suye asked

if you want to join us.

I saw Manager Shen.

Excuse me.

Hello.

I'm sorry.

My friend probably won't come.

May I just pay the bill?

Here?

How would you like to pay?

She got stood up.

WeChat pay, please.

Okay.

Scan this.

Isn't it inappropriate?

It's your reunion. I shouldn't be there.

There's nothing inappropriate.

We're colleagues and classmates.

Everyone is easy to get along with.

Come on.

Don't hesitate.

Let's hang out together.

I'll just...

Don't reject me.

Okay.

Let's go. That private room.

Okay.

Just walk straight ahead.

We ordered a lot of dishes.

It's Suye's treat today.

When you introduce Manager
Shen, say she's your friend,

in case people make a fuss.

Li Jie,

what's wrong?

Nothing. Let's go.

This room.

This one?

Excuse me,

waitress.

Please bring me two more
bottles of Tuopai Special.

We must drink to our heart's content today.

We must drink heartily today.

You're drunk.

It's for fun. We're here
today to have fun, aren't we?

Everyone,

I brought a friend here.

Let me introduce her.

This is Shen Xifan.

She's a friend of mine.

She's here for dinner, but
there are no tables available.

So I brought her here
to join us for a meal.

Hope you don't mind.

Sorry to bother.

Welcome! Welcome!

We warmly welcome you!

Welcome!

We warmly welcome you!

Good!

Welcome, welcome!

These are all my seniors and juniors

from the oncology department.

They are all very nice people,

very easy to get along with.

That's right.

Well...

let me make a formal introduction.

I am

his senior.

People always say doctors are benevolent.

We're really super kind.

Come, sit here.

Fang.

Fang?

Don't you think it's a bit crowded?

Move over a little.

Sit here.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Please bring one more set of utensils.

And one more chair.

I'll go hurry her up.

Fang,

take care of her.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

Please wait a moment.

It's been a long time
since we last gathered.

Let's all have a drink together.

Come on, come on.

Cheers.

Bottoms up.

Bottoms up.

Finally, everyone's here.

It's the first time.

Yes, yes.

Drink a little more.

Later, let's go to

the after-party.

Are you treating us to the after-party?

Can you treat us to the after-party?

Of course.

Hey,

Miss Shen.

I heard you're working
at Gunan Huating Hotel.

Yes.

The fact that you work
there shows you're capable.

No, no.

I can't compare to you guys.

Modest. You're being modest again.

Your modesty makes me want to ask,

how did you and Li know each other?

We worked together

on a traditional Chinese
medicine project before.

We hired him as a consultant.

Oh, I know that.

I know that. I know that.

I remember that project
was led by He, right?

Yes.

Dr. He was also in the team at the time.

We've all met before.

And Fang was there too.

Speaking of He...

This is from Senior He.

Thank you.

Lotus.

I want to eat Tangyuan too.

Lo...

I've been drinking.

My stomach hurts. As you know,

my stomach's always been bad.

Alright, alright.

Give it to me.

How many?

Before I decide,

I have something to say.

You can't

just take care of our new friend

and forget about me, your old friend.

That'll really break my heart.

How many?

Six.

You eat this much and
still can't get a girlfriend.

I'm eating this much
just to find a girlfriend.

As the old saying goes,

a big body doesn't lack strength, right?

Okay.

I found that

you guys are only eating but not drinking.

How about this?

Let's play a game to spice things up,

alright?

Let's play Continue the Prescription.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay.

We're having a great time here.

And you want to review
professional knowledge?

Exactly.

Are you trying to outwork us all?

This is called "with
good wine to lift the mood,

we must drink in moderation."

We can't just focus on having fun.

We should also take the
knowledge from our genes

and refresh it, air it out,

and sort it through.

Continue the Prescription is too difficult.

What about Miss Shen?

How about this?

Let's change the rule.

Continue...

the Medication?

She should be able to do it.

I'll give it a try.

Good.

How about this?

If the rest of us can't continue,

we'll take a shot.

If Miss Shen can't, she'll
just have a little, alright?

Sounds good. That's how it should be.

It must be like this.

- Okay, I'll start.
- Come on.

Gui Zhi.

Gui Pi.

Pomegranate peel.

Pomegranate peel?

That doesn't count!

That doesn't count!

Pomegranate peel?

Pomegranate peel doesn't count.

Alright, alright.

I didn't bring the Chinese
Pharmacopoeia today.

Otherwise, I'd let you know

what pomegranate peel is.

I'll drink.

What is he talking about?

Let's stop talking.

One, two, three, four.

Baishao.

Shaoyao!

Let's start with another one.

Hurry up.

Su He Xiang!

Su...

Su Ye!

Su Ye?

What is Su Ye?

What is Su Ye?

If Su Ye counts,

then my pomegranate peel counts too,

right?

Pomegranate...

Su Ye

counts.

It doesn't.

Am I a clown or what?

There's no problem.

Am I overthinking it?

Why did you come out?

There are too many people in the room.

I was afraid you might feel
uncomfortable and want to leave,

so...

Everyone is nice.

Don't worry.

Let's go back in.

Okay.

Tonight...

who stood you up?

You usually go straight home

after work.

Who were you going to meet tonight?

A friend.

A blind date?

Looks like I guessed right.

But that's fine.

You got stood up

and didn't get to see him.

Let's...

go home together tonight.

I didn't drink,

so I can drive.

Let's go.

Are you happy, Suye?

I'm happy!

Sing a song.

You can do it.

Come on, sing a song.

Caifang, can you sing?

Sing a song!

Come on!

You can do it!

I caught you two.

You're avoiding drinking

and hiding in the corner.

That's unacceptable.

You must be punished.

Either drink three shots of white wine

or play truth or dare.

I can't drink.

That's great.

Lotus,

drink for her.

I can't.

Six shots of white wine

for six Tangyuans.

I can't. I have to drive later.

What?

How about truth or dare?

Yeah!

Truth!

I'll drink, I'll drink.

Hold on.

I...

I chose truth.

Wonderful!

Here's the question.

There's a rumor going around the
hospital that you have a crush now.

Is that true?

Yes.

What?

You're pretty cool.

You just said yes.

Does that mean

the only one left single now is me?

Wait a second.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Who's the girl?

Do I know her?

I need to hurry up and remind her

to switch to a cassia seed pillow.

I want her to clear the heat
and improve her eyesight

so she can see your true face.

What true face?

We agreed on one question at a time.

You've asked one, so it's over now.

It's not over. Come on.

Just tell us.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Just tell us.

Well...

It's...

It's just a girl I met in April.

A girl you met in April?

Did you hear that?

- April.
- Did you hear that?

Did you hear that?

What is it?

What April?

It's still a little cold in April.
Remember to dress warmly.

Sorry.

Did I hit you?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

I was in the hospital in April.

How could I not know?

How could I let you get her?

I'm even more confused now.

Be careful.

Senior He,

how about I take Manager Shen home for you?

It's okay. I live in the
same neighborhood as her.

I'll just send her home.

Look behind you.

There are so many people
who need you to take care of.

I won't go home.

Li Jie.

Li Jie!

I'll leave the rest of
them to you and Fang!

Okay!

Be careful.

Let me do it.

We're leaving.

I'll do it.

Watch the steps.

Be careful.

You're drunk.

Thank you for liking me.

What?

I said...

thank you for liking me.

You're drunk.

I'm not.

What did you just say?

Say it again.

I said...

thank you for liking me.

Mr. Shen?

What's going on here?

Ms. Shen,

what happened to you?

There's such a strong smell of alcohol.

It's...

What happened?

I've been drinking.

Come on, you...

You've been drinking again?

How could you drink again?

Come on, come on.

Help her get in.

Be careful. Be careful.

- Sir.
- Be careful.

Who are you?

I'm a friend of Xifan.

Well, thank you then.

You're welcome.

Let me see the guest off first.

Well, I'll leave now.

Thank you.

Okay.

Well...

You're leaving just like that?

You must be exhausted

from bringing our daughter back.

How about you come in and sit for a while?

Would you like to have
some late-night snacks?

Make some

late-night snacks.

Would you like some?

I won't eat.

I'm going back to rest first.

Alright.

Alright.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ma'am.

How much did she drink?

Exactly.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen.

How did you like the medicinal
dishes you had before?

Xifan asked me to make a few prescriptions,

saying that you two
would have them together.

You're that Dr. He, right?

Yes.

I finally met you in person.

Those medicinal dishes were so delicious.

Really?

Our whole family loved it.

If we make them again, you
should come and have some with us.

We can have a family banquet together.

Sure.

I happen to also live in this neighborhood.

When it's convenient for you,

just let Xifan send me a message on WeChat.

What a coincidence!

We live so close.

Great.

Feel free to come over for a
meal whenever you have time.

Well, I won't disturb you any longer today.

I'm leaving now.

Alright, alright.

Feel free to come over for a
meal whenever you have time.

Come over to hang out when you have time.

Sure, sure.

Bye-bye.

Goodbye.

Good night.

My goodness, he's so handsome.

I don't need to arrange
blind dates for her anymore.

That young man

is tall, fair-skinned,

and well-mannered.

And he's very polite.

Yes. He took such good
care of our daughter.

Look at you.

Are you throwing up?
How much did you drink?

I'll get you some water.

Just take this to pay the fee.

Okay, okay.

Thank you, doctor.

It's fine.

I'll come back next week.

Alright.

Are you awake?

Your alcohol tolerance is terrible.

It's this late, and you
still haven't woken up.

I've prescribed you some
medicine. See you later.

Still not awake?

I'm already downstairs.

Hurry up and come down.

I've got your medicine ready.

You're down?

What's wrong with you?

Still not fully awake?

You had to drink so much last night.

You downed each shot in two gulps.

I thought you were a tough girl.

What's wrong?

Are you feeling unwell?

The person you said

you met in April last night...

was it me?

Of course.

This is what you've been doubting?

Haven't I made it obvious enough?

Before,

I felt the timing wasn't right,

so I didn't say it directly.

Last night, there were too many people,

and I didn't want you to feel awkward,

so I didn't make it very clear either.

However,

I can tell you again, properly.

Shen Xifan,

I like you.
