Qin Jiang had thought about many possibilities—like maybe this girl’s family had gone through some hardship, or maybe she’d broken up with her boyfriend.
But after all that, her idol had just had a “scandal” (career/image collapse)?
“Come on, what’s there to cry about that for?”
Qin Jiang really didn’t get it.
Who knew that as soon as Li Yuan heard Qin Jiang say that, she immediately widened her eyes.
“What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on my idol?”
Qin Jiang found this a bit of a headache.
“Miss Li, please calm down. I don’t even know who your idol is, so how could I possibly look down on him?”
“I just think that when it comes to idols, it’s totally normal to enjoy listening to their songs or watching their movies in daily life, but when it comes to a ‘scandal’… there’s no need to be this heartbroken.”
“Why is there no need!”
Li Yuan said very seriously, “Do you know I’ve been following him for a full ten years!”
“How many decades does a person even have in their life?”
“When none of you knew who he was yet, I had the discerning eye and saw right away that he was definitely going to become famous!”
“I’m one of his earliest fans, and I’m even a long-time member of his fan club!”
As soon as she started talking about her idol, Li Yuan seemed like her heart didn’t hurt anymore, chattering on nonstop.
She knew everything about this idol—how he first debuted, which places he’d done roadshow performances at, what programs he’d been on, what records and songs he’d released—absolutely encyclopedic.
Qin Jiang even felt like the idol himself probably didn’t know himself as well as Li Yuan did.
Qin Jiang was starting to get a little annoyed.
After all, his time was very precious, and he wasn’t really a fan of celebrities.
“Miss Li, I’m not interested in how your idol debuted or became famous.”
“Right now, you just tell me: do you still want this illness treated or not?”
“Of course I do!”
Reminded by Qin Jiang, Li Yuan clutched her chest again, putting on a very pained expression.
The netizens watching the livestream saw this and expressed that they couldn’t understand.
“Could she be faking it? She just talked nonstop for several minutes without any problem. I think she’s even more normal than a regular person?”
“I think so too. There’s no way I could talk that long without a break; I’d definitely get out of breath and feel terrible.”
“Probably not faking it. Look, when she clutches her chest, her face turns pale. That pain is probably real.”
One of the characteristics of heart disease is that it directly affects a person’s complexion.
When someone is having a heart episode, their complexion is definitely abnormal.
Either it’s very red—that usually means being overly excited or having an arrhythmia.
Or it’s very pale—this is common in heart attacks, angina, fainting caused by myocardial ischemia, etc.
One shows outwardly, the other turns inward, and both show up directly on the face.
As soon as Qin Jiang saw Li Yuan’s complexion, he immediately realized that her condition was very serious.
Qin Jiang pressed on some acupuncture points on her body to help her relax. Then, as if something had occurred to him, he suddenly spoke again:
“You mentioned earlier that your idol’s scandal happened. Was it because he lacks skill?”
Before Qin Jiang even finished, Li Yuan immediately got worked up again.
“Nonsense!”
“Do you know that my idol is a triple threat—singing, dancing, and basketball?”
“He trained as a trainee for over two years. His skills are extraordinary. Who are you to criticize him?”
Her good friend Jin Lan couldn’t even bear to watch anymore.
After all, Li Yuan was there to see a doctor, but she was being so rude to him. Wasn’t she asking for trouble?
Jin Lan quickly apologized to Qin Jiang from the side.
“I’m so sorry, Dr. Qin. My best friend here is actually a really nice person. She doesn’t mean any harm. It’s just that whenever she talks about her idol, she gets emotional easily.”
Qin Jiang nodded to show he understood.
“An idol you’ve followed for ten years, and suddenly there’s a scandal. Not being able to accept it—I can understand that.”
“Here, give me your hand. Let me take your pulse.”
Seeing that Qin Jiang said he could understand her, Li Yuan’s anger subsided quite a bit.
She reached out her hand and then felt some pain in her chest again.
Just then, Qin Jiang spoke again: “What exactly caused the scandal for your idol?”
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow, a little unhappy.
Why was this doctor so gossipy? It always gave her the feeling that Qin Jiang looked down on her idol.
“Nothing much. He just got a girlfriend, and the paparazzi caught them.”
Qin Jiang said, “Oh.”
“No wonder you’re so sad. You’re thinking you don’t have a chance anymore, right?”
“Nonsense!”
Li Yuan said emotionally, “I’ve never wanted to be my idol’s girlfriend, okay!”
“I’m willing to be his good little sister for life!”
“It’s just that I never expected he’d have a girlfriend and not tell us. We’re his long-time fans who’ve supported him for so many years!”
“And before, during a movie roadshow, he even said he didn’t have a girlfriend!”
At this point, Li Yuan got sad again.
Who knew that Qin Jiang would hit the nail on the head and say, “If that’s the case, then I think such a jerk isn’t worth you liking.”
Li Yuan said angrily, “Who are you calling a jerk!”
Qin Jiang calmly explained, “Let me ask you: is this girlfriend of his one of his fans?”
This question from Qin Jiang completely stumped Li Yuan.
Before Li Yuan could answer, Jin Lan said from the side, “Yes, she’s also a long-time fan. We both know her.”
“So, what kind of behavior this is… I don’t need to spell it out, do I?”
Li Yuan still wanted to be stubborn.
“What if they’re truly in love?”
Qin Jiang gave a soft laugh.
“Let me ask you another thing: where were they when the paparazzi caught them?”
Jin Lan thought for a moment and said, “I think it was at a hotel.”
“It wasn’t the hotel where he works, right? And not where he lives, correct?”
Qin Jiang said, “If it were true love, even if he wanted to protect the girl’s privacy, he wouldn’t need to take her to a hotel to have sex, would he?”
Qin Jiang’s words made Li Yuan’s expression uglier and uglier.
Because according to the paparazzi’s report, when the two were caught, her idol was in the middle of filming a certain TV drama.
That meant her idol had taken time off to meet a fan.
They had less than two hours total, and they chose to meet at a hotel. What they intended to do went without saying.
Qin Jiang sighed and said to Li Yuan, “Following celebrities isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I follow celebrities too—like the Four Heavenly Kings, I like them as well.”
“But you have to keep it moderate.”
Hearing Qin Jiang say that, Li Yuan was silent for a moment and then said, “I understand now. Thank you, doctor.”
Qin Jiang smiled slightly.
“Do you still feel chest pain now?”
Li Yuan was first taken aback, then realized that, indeed, it didn’t hurt anymore.
“Wh—what’s going on?”
Qin Jiang calmly explained, “Because the illness you have is called ‘Broken Heart Syndrome.'”
“Explaining it with Western medicine is very complicated.”
“But explaining it with Traditional Chinese Medicine is very simple.”
“Extreme grief damages the spirit, and a weakened spirit harms the heart.”
“So, as long as you don’t have such extreme emotional fluctuations and you let this matter go, your chest naturally won’t hurt anymore.”
