01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

(Episode 8: Five-flavor fruit, sour,
sweet, and warm, with an astringent

property, good for qi boost, body fluid
generation, kidney, and calming down.)

Sir,

time for business?

Are you off work?

Nice.

Bye-bye.

Shen Xifan

Dr. h*

Do you usually commute by bus?

This bus can

take me right to the hotel shuttle stop.

It's very convenient.

Let's go have dinner.

What would you like to eat? I'll order it.

How about

we go to my place...

to make medicinal cuisine?

I was just thinking about
making it a couple of days ago.

So I already bought
all the herbs in advance.

We can eat together.

What? Is it not okay for you?

Nope.

It's okay.

Let's go then.

Come on.

Let's go.

Which floor do you live on?

The 5th floor.

I'm on the 12th.

A higher floor.

Higher is better.

Yeah.

Yes, it's quite good.

Nice.

Come in, please.

Mm.

I don't usually have visitors.

So I only have disposable slippers.

It's okay.

I'll open a pair for you.

Thank you.

Change your shoes first.

Okay.

I'll go get you something to drink.

The five-flavor fruit water.

It replenishes qi and
generates body fluids.

You can give it a try.

Thank you.

It's so good.

Right?

Then drink some more.

Don't just stand there.

Go take a seat.

It's a bit messy. Please don't mind it.

It's okay.

Sit down, please.

I'm going to put some music on.

Okay.

You can sit for a while.

I'll go make some food.

It won't take long.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

TCM specialty therapies...

The quality of life...

Why are you here?

I just came to see if there's
anything I can help with.

Can you cook?

Nope.

Then just watch me cook.

Sit for a while.

It'll be ready soon.

Okay.

This medicinal cuisine

is perfect for autumn nourishment.

You can try it.

Here you are.

Be careful, it's hot.

Thanks.

It smells so good. What did you put in it?

It should be the fragrance of angelica.

Angelica can nourish qi and blood.

It's especially good for you.

Dr. He.

Can I take a picture?

Of course.

Sending it to your friends?

Not really.

"Not really"? What do you mean?

Actually, I came here today

to ask you for some help

with a work thing.

A work thing? What is it?

Our hotel is currently
planning a TCM-themed

wellness journey.

Medicinal cuisine is part of it,

so we might need to hire a consultant.

You're the person I thought of.

I wonder if you're
available and interested.

If it's just for consulting,

okay,

I can give it a try.

However,

for this consulting work,

do I need to go to your hotel?

It would be best if you could come,

but if you can't,

online consultation is also fine.

I'm on duty at the TCM
hospital from Monday to Friday

and at the TCM clinic on Saturdays.

So I'm only free on Sundays.

Would that work for you?

No problem, we can
work around your schedule.

Alright, then I'll give it a try.

Great.

As you know,

I have a full-time job at the TCM hospital.

So,

I need to be cautious about
external consulting projects.

Can you show me

your specific plan?

No problem.

I'll send it to you once I wrap up

the proposal drafting.

Rest assured, we are absolutely legitimate.

I didn't say you weren't legitimate.

I'm just being cautious.

However, I have a small suggestion.

We don't recommend using
the term 'TCM specialty.'

We really don't suggest restaurants

advertise medicinal effects and treatments.

It might cause some

unnecessary troubles and issues.

But going with Chinese
herbal wellness is fine.

Focus on gentle health care.

I got it.

Then, Dr. He, let's have a
great time working together.

Glad to work with you.

How is it?

It tastes so delicious.

Then have some more.

When I make fish soup,

you can always come over and try it.

I'll serve you clear soup and tender fish.

Okay, thank you for inviting me.

You're usually swamped with work,

yet you still learn to cook for yourself?

I do cook for myself when I'm free.

But I also eat at the hospital cafeteria.

Did you start cooking

to improve your diet?

Nope.

The food at our hospital
cafeteria is quite good.

And some dishes also
have medicinal herbs added.

Quite unique.

Is it unique in flavor

or just unusual?

I'd say it's a unique flavor.

I thought your hospital cafeteria

was like my college cafeteria,

both unique and unusual.

Let's go, I'll walk you home.

Don't bother. It's not that late.

You can go back and rest.

Okay.

Well, bye-bye.

Good night.

Oh, right, Dr. He,

I was supposed to treat you to dinner today

to invite you to be our consultant.

But you ended up cooking for me instead.

What's the big deal?

The formality isn't that important.

What matters is that we
both had a good meal.

No, last time it was moxibustion.

And this time you cooked for me.

Next time, I must treat
you to a hearty meal.

Well, if it's your treat,
I won't hold back.

Good!

See you next time then.

See you around.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.

Dr. He and I have reached an agreement.

He can be our consultant.

But he still needs our project proposal

for confirmation.

Nice!

Could you give me a copy of his profile?

I'll add it to the slides.

I forgot to ask him for it.

I'll send it to you later.

OK.

The hospital's official website
should have this kind of profile, right?

(He Suye)

This ID photo would look a bit out
of place on the expert showcase wall.

Are you asleep?

You're fishing for a response again.

Well, looks like you still took the bait.

Hello?

Hello?

Why are you suddenly calling me?

I...

I just wanted to ask you

when the proposal will be completed.

I might need to send two
graduate students to help.

Is it okay to finish it within this week?

Yes.

Then you don't need
to work overtime tonight.

Okay.

I mean...

You can hit the hay early.

Then I'll

hang up now.

Good night.

Good night.

Didn't expect him to be so professional.

I even thought about
changing his prescription before.

Relax, it's okay.

Yes, this acupoint.

Insert the needle.

It's alright, don't be nervous.

It's done.

How do you feel? Still feel like vomiting?

I'm fine now.

No worries.

Vomiting is one of the most common

side effects after chemotherapy.

In terms of TCM,

it's a symptom of stomach
disharmony and qi reversal.

As for constipation,

it's a side effect of the antiemetic.

So these two side effects

usually occur simultaneously.

Before the next chemotherapy session,

you can have her drink some
Pinellia Soothing Decoction

to avoid these side effects.

Okay, I see.

Come here and learn this.

If the patient still feels
nauseous at other times,

you can gently press on
the second metacarpal bone

of the right hand.

Feeling a bit sore and swollen, right?

It's normal to feel so.

Press for about a minute,

and it should relieve the symptoms.

Okay, I got it.

Thank you, doctor.

I feel much better now.

Alright, you can get some rest now.

I'll have a doctor come
to remove the needle later.

Thank you.

It's not a busy day today.

The food's a bit cold.

Do you want some shrimp?

I'll have one.

Here.

What dish is this?

I think it's a bit too salty.

Li Jie.

This doesn't taste good.

Really?

Li Jie!

This kid,

why is he always clinging to Senior He?

Is that so?

Try one.

I didn't notice it.

I'll have one.

Alright, alright.

Stop playing and eat your meal.

Come on, eat up.

Can I have some of yours?

Your chicken drumstick looks so delicious.

No, you'll have chemotherapy
in a couple of days.

You should be careful with your diet.

As I told you before,

the food in this staff cafeteria

isn't even as good as your own meals.

Yet you insisted on coming with me.

My mom has to work.

I don't want her to come all the way here

just to bring me food.

So I'll just make do with this.

Make do with this?

I told you to stay in the ward.

Why do you have to follow me every day?

It's not that I like following you.

You're the only one I'm
familiar with in this hospital.

That's right.

After all,

besides my mom,

you're the only one who's seen my butt.

Well,

all those nurses and doctors who helped

deliver you all saw your butt, didn't they?

And also,

hasn't your dad seen your butt too?

I don't have a father.

He died when I was in kindergarten.

I think you're quite like my dad.

That's why I'm following you.

You sweet-talker.

Alright, eat some more at lunch.

Later this afternoon, be a good boy

and stay in the ward to do your homework.

Don't run around, you hear me?

Can I ask you about the
questions I can't solve?

Sure, I'm open for
appointments this afternoon.

You can make an appointment.

The appointment fee is twenty yuan.

Spending twenty yuan to have
you help me with my homework

is not worthwhile!

So you know it's expensive.
Then don't run around

and do your homework by yourself.

Eat more vegetables.

Don't just eat rice.

Let's eat them together.

Vegetables are nutritious.

If it's not enough, I'll
help you get some more.

What's wrong?

No,

nothing.

This afternoon, Qiu Tian
and I will go back to school.

We need to modify the NSFC bidding document

and organize the new breast cancer cases.

Are you two joining the doctor's
consultations this afternoon?

You're already at the revision stage?

When on earth will you finish drafting?

Soon, soon.

You'd better hurry up.

It needs to be submitted
the day after tomorrow.

I know!

I'll write it right away.

The person in charge of the tour group

has reviewed the TCM
wellness tour proposal.

They also find it feasible.

We can proceed with it.

There might be a few tweaks

but no major changes.

Manager Lin will be responsible
for communication and follow-up.

Manager Shen will handle
housekeeping and reception.

Manager Xu will be in
charge of food and beverage.

It's time to contact the suppliers

for ingredients and medicinal herbs.

One more thing.

Manager Shen.

You need to get Dr. He to
sign the consultant contract.

Don't worry,

I've already sent him
the standard contract.

He's also good with the consulting fee.

There are just some
specific details to be adjusted.

I'll hit up the legal team later.

We'll try to get him to
sign the contract this week.

So he can start working
with us this Sunday.

Alright.

Since you're more familiar with Dr. He,

the following contract signing

will be left to you.

Okay.

Then you guys communicate
internally about this.

I'm going to have lunch now.

Is this TCM Physician He

single and open to pursuers?

He's single.

But...

Then introduce him to me.

Let's keep the best within ourselves!

If it's not okay to pursue Dr. He,

what about his relatives,

friends,

or colleagues?

I'm good with any of them.

Could you introduce someone to me?

I didn't say anything.

Manager Shen, I think your luck in love

is so good.

Look at this Dr. He's
outstanding appearance.

Oh, and her ex-boyfriend
is handsome and rich!

Don't you know her ex-boyfriend is dead?

Um,

If there are no other
questions, let's wrap it up here.

Keep in touch for any new updates.

Alright.

Hey, are you available?

I'd like to talk to you
about the herb suppliers.

Is that necessary?

We can just ask that TCM
consultant when he joins us.

Has Zhang Huming arrived?

Little one.

Your pulse is much steadier
this time compared to the last.

Are you still coughing up phlegm?

Not anymore.

I'm not short of breath at night either.

Good.

No other discomforts?

I feel lighter overall,

but sometimes when I'm working,

I get a tight chest

and still a bit out of breath.

That's normal.

After lung cancer surgery,

the lung function will
be somewhat affected.

Make sure to work out regularly

and don't overexert yourself.

You'll recover slowly

from this illness.

The medicine I prescribed
for you last month,

keep taking it for another month.

Have your local hospital
copy the prescription for you.

It'll be cheaper this way.

That's great!

Thank you, Dr. He.

No problem.

Dr. He,

is this your child?

Um...

He's just one of my young patients.

His parent is busy, so she
let him come to have fun here.

I thought...

Dr. He, just one word to
summarize your character...

trustworthy!

Well, I'll leave then.

Okay...

Goodbye.

Stay in a good mood!

Okay... Thank you!

Zhao Ze.

You're about to have the
next chemotherapy session.

Take good care of yourself

and don't run around.

I'm bored.

Bored?

Then go back to do your homework.

Don't end up at the bottom of your
grade when you return to school.

It'll be a shame.

Alright, go back now.

Don't wander around.

Don't run around like that again next time.

Sorry.

You came for me?

I'd like to have a chat with you.

About what?

You shouldn't always be following Dr. He.

And don't say anything weird.

What did I say?

You said he's like your dad.

He's a young doctor.

And he's single now.

What you said can easily
lead to misunderstandings.

It's not good for his reputation

and career.

I said "like"

but not "is."

Anyway, you're just a
kid. You don't understand.

You can't say random
things like that anymore.

Do you like him?

D-Don't talk nonsense.

He's like a teacher to me.

Then why do you care so much?

Since your situation is urgent,

give me your health insurance
card. I'll help you process it.

Thank you, doctor.

It's my duty.

Just a moment.

Li, please help me mark
this patient's case as "urgent."

How many times has
this happened this month?

Remember to have patients

make online appointments
in advance from now on.

Okay.

Thank you for your help, Li.

Nailed it.

Thank you, doctor.

It's part of my job.

Were it not for your help,

I wouldn't know how to do it.

Come meet me right after your checkup.

I'll wait for the results
before I clock out.

Thank you, Dr. He.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

TCM usually considers
chemotherapy as a medicinal toxin.

The medicinal toxin in the stomach

damages its normal digestive function.

In this case, stomach qi
reverses, causing vomiting.

Acupuncture can be used to alleviate this.

Acupoints can include Zhongwan, Gongsun,

Neiguan, Hegu, and Zusanli.

The reducing method can
relieve the patient's symptoms.

You should learn to use both
TCM and Western theories

to analyze and explain,

and thus solve practical clinical problems.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

It's always like this after chemotherapy.

I'm used to it. Let's begin.

You'll feel better soon.

We're starting.

Good.

Besides vomiting, are
you also having diarrhea?

Just once.

Any blood in the stool?

No.

You even know that?

Quite professional.

How's your appetite? Do you want to eat?

You just mentioned blood in stool,

so I feel like I shouldn't
say I want to eat.

Alright, just rest well then.

Get some good rest.

Be good.

I've prescribed some medicine for him.

Send it to him later.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Dr. He.

I prescribed some medicine for him.

It's for detoxifying and
nourishing the spleen and kidneys.

It can go with chemotherapy

and help him expel toxins
from his body quickly,

while also replenishing qi and blood.

He can recover faster this way.

Okay, thank you, Dr. He.

Don't worry.

His chemotherapy is showing good results.

You two can go for lunch now.

Who's coming with me for
consultations this afternoon?

I'll go.

Hello?

Hello?

Dr. He, are you available now?

I have something to tell you.

Yeah, go ahead.

I've sent the clean version

of the contract to your email.

Please check it out.

If everything looks good,

please snap photos of
both sides of your ID card

and send them to me.

I need to include them in the contract.

Then I can get it
stamped by the legal team.

Alright, I'll check the mail.

Dr. He,

are you busy today?

How about I go to your
hospital for your signature?

This way,

we can finish signing today,

and I can apply for your
consultant fee this afternoon.

You can start working with us this Sunday.

Otherwise,

if it gets pushed to next week,

we might be running short of time.

Okay, you can come over anytime.

Is it okay if I go meet you around 11:30?

No problem.

See you then.

See you later.

I need any one of you to
go with me this afternoon.

Kexin,

don't you think

Suye has been in an
unusually good mood lately?

Yeah...

It's like

a rare romantic vibe.

Let's go.

He's so chill about it.

He didn't even add a watermark.

(Only for the consultant contract
with Gunan Huating Hotel.)

(It's invalid for any other use.)

Hi.

Have you been waiting long?

Not really.

It's just rare for me to skip work.

I'm extraordinarily happy today.

When I'm happy, I tend to get sleepy.

Get sleepy?

Come on,

follow me.

Come on!

Look, this is the five-flavor fruit.

The one I made tea with for you last time.

So it's these red berries.

Is it also a kind of medicine?

That's right.

What are you doing?

Try it.

Dr. He, even children know

we should protect public plants and trees.

Yet you just picked the fruit straight off.

Just one bunch, it's fine.

Try it.

This thing...

Can we eat it directly?

Of course.

Give it a try.

Chew the pit as well.

It tastes awful!

What is that?

The inside

tastes like the Sichuan pepper,

with a hint of bitterness and saltiness.

The sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and spicy
are the five flavors of five-flavor fruit.

How is it? Does it wake you up?

What a man...

I saw you getting drowsy!

This works better than coffee.

Thank you.

Have some more.

No...

It tastes terrible.

Come on, have a bit more.

Here you are, the contract.

The hotel has stamped it.

You can sign it now.

You sound like

you're ordering me to sign
some kind of sl*ve contract.

Then don't sign it. Give it to me.

I'll sign it...

If I don't sign,

wouldn't you have been

beguiled into eating the
five-flavor fruit for nothing?

You're right.

Alright.

It's a pleasure working with you.

Glad to work with you too.

Are you in a hurry to leave?

No.

I just need to file the
contract when I get back.

And I've already applied

for the payment request in advance.

How about chilling
here with me for a while?

Okay.

Aren't you busy now?

I just finished checking the wards.

The work's set for the afternoon.

I'm free now.

Okay.

I really like it here.

I found it really cozy
when I came last time.

Yes,

there are many plants around.

It's especially easy

to get drowsy

and doze off.

My call.

Hello?

Senior He, can you come
back to the department now?

Something's up, right?

There's an X-ray we're not sure about.

I see.

Well, I have something urgent to handle.

I need to go back.

It's okay. Just go ahead.

I'll also be heading
back to the hotel soon.

Okay, see you around.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

(Oncology)

Hello.

Hello.

We don't start consultations
until 1:30 p.m. here.

I'm not here for a consultation.

I'm here to meet Dr. He.

For what?

I have something to give him.

He should be in the inpatient
department upstairs right now.

Which floor is the inpatient department on?

8th floor.

Okay, thank you.

If you have anything for
him, you can give it to me.

I'll help you pass it on to him.

Thanks, but no. It's
something quite important.

I'll go send it myself.

Thank you.

- Dr. He...
- Dad!

Dad!

Why are you running so fast?

Where have you been for fun?

The toy store.

Join me for consultations this afternoon.

Go wash your hands first.

Dad...

Dad?
