Chapter 309: Taking Her Place_1
Although a bit confused, Xia Ningxing still modestly replied, "Thank you, Director, but it was really just a small effort on my part, you needn’t worry about it."
"This is not a trivial matter at all. You saved a comrade’s leg—it’s a big deal!" the institute’s director said with a smile, and then asked, "Does Miss Xia also understand Chinese medicine?"
"I know just a little," Xia Ningxing answered tactfully.
"Ningxing, don’t be so modest. Your medical skills are so remarkable, and yet you say ’just a little’—wouldn’t that make all the Chinese medicine practitioners in the world feel ashamed!" Tao Tao said, linking arms with Xia Ningxing and speaking with a warm expression, showering her with flattery:
"Director, you have no idea. Ningxing prescribed some Chinese medicine for me, and after I drank it, my ankle that was hurting terribly suddenly didn’t hurt much at all!"
"It’s simply a miracle cure!"
Xia Ningxing blushed slightly: "..."
In fact, it wasn’t that miraculous at all; seeing that the girl was in great pain, she had added an analgesic herb to the medicine, which temporarily numbed the nerves in her foot.
However, there was still some sensation of pain, just bearable—a level one or two type of pain. This was because if there was no pain at all, she worried the girl might think she was fully healed and start walking around, causing herself more trouble.
