548: Chapter 548 Tangyu Tangyu I Love You!
Rao Yuanzhi drove Tangyu and Liu Shiyi back, and after dropping off Liu Shiyi, Tangyu was preparing to have Rao Yuanzhi drop him off at Princess Apartments.
However, just as he was about to close the door, Grandpa Liu ran out, spotting Tangyu in the car, “Tangyu, don’t go, don’t go, come down, come on down.”
Tangyu didn’t really want to get out of the car because he knew that if Grandpa Liu saw him, he definitely wouldn’t let him off the hook easily, fearing that he might be asked to stay for a meal or something.
“Grandpa, Tangyu still has things to be busy with,” Liu Shiyi said.
“What could he possibly be busy with?
I’m not keeping him for a meal, just asking him to come down for some tea and a chat,” Grandpa Liu said.
With no other option, Tangyu honestly got out of the car.
Grandpa Liu grabbed Tangyu’s hand, pulling him into Medicine Hall with the joyful excitement of welcoming a son-in-law, his eyes appraising Tangyu as if taking stock of a gold mine, with as much joy and satisfaction as could be.
Tangyu even felt embarrassed by the scrutiny as Liu Shiyi approached and said, “Grandpa, aren’t you going to invite Tangyu to sit down?”
“Oh, right, please sit, please sit, I’ll make you tea,” Grandpa Liu said with a smile.
After inviting Tangyu to sit, he personally made tea, evidently a master of the tea ceremony and even brought out his treasured tea leaves.
Tangyu looked up at the TV and saw to his surprise that it was still showing the footage of his interview.
The TV broadcast was really fast; probably many TV stations were covering the Traditional and Western Medicine Exchange Conference.
Grandpa Liu finished making the tea, poured a cup for Tangyu, glanced at the TV and his smile grew even broader, “Oh, that’s great, really great, you spoke so well, it’s got this old man feeling the blood boil.
If I were as young as you guys, I’d be ready to fight shirtless.
You did so well, young man, full of drive, passion, confidence, and most importantly, capability.
Seeing your performance makes me even more confident that our traditional Chinese doctors will surely triumph and leave Western medicine with a crushing defeat.
They may have advanced technology and sophisticated Biomedical Remedy, but I believe even more in the profound depth of our traditional medicine.
Tangyu, Liu Shiyi, you’re not just fighting for yourselves; you’re fighting for traditional medicine, for Huaxia Country.”
Grandpa Liu was especially happy and excited today.
“We will fight our best,” Tangyu said.
Grandpa Liu nodded, “Today, I am so happy and excited, because I see you fighting for traditional medicine, doing something great, and that comforts me.
Shiyi has grown up, and this is all thanks to you, Tangyu.
Ha, I really wish I could give Shiyi to you; if she could find a good grandson-in-law like you, I’d absolutely die happy, passing away with a smile in my sleep.”
“Grandpa, you’ve brought up the very topic we should avoid,” Shiyi said with some urgency.
Grandpa Liu smiled, giving Tangyu a mischievous look.
Tangyu responded with a wry smile.
Although he quite liked Shiyi, he couldn’t make any promises in front of Grandpa Liu.
That commitment, he couldn’t afford just yet.
So, facing Grandpa Liu’s intentions, Tangyu had no choice but to pretend he hadn’t heard.
After sitting for a while and drinking a cup of tea, enduring Grandpa Liu’s chatter, Tangyu stood up to take his leave.
Grandpa Liu did not hold him back, and Shiyi escorted Tangyu to the door.
“I’m sorry about Grandpa’s words just now; don’t take them to heart.
He was just too excited today,” Shiyi said.
Tangyu smiled, looking at Shiyi.
Caught by Tangyu’s gaze, Shiyi felt embarrassed and diverted her eyes, not daring to look at Tangyu.
A blush couldn’t help creeping onto her face.
“You better go, stop looking at me.
Is there something wrong with my face?” Shiyi said.
Tangyu began to laugh, “Are you in that much of a hurry to get rid of me?
I find you quite cute when you’re a little shy, the more I look, the more attractive you seem.”
With those words, Shiyi’s face turned even redder, her heartbeat quickened.
What did Tangyu’s words mean?
“Alright, I’m off now.
I’ll come to pick you up in the car tomorrow.
Rest well tonight, and call me if anything comes up,” Tangyu said.
“Mm-hmm,” Shiyi nodded, watching Tangyu’s receding figure, and she fell into a daze.
Perhaps in her heart, the seed of love had already been planted.
In Princess Apartments, Guo Momo and the two other girls had not gone out to play that day, but stayed home to watch TV.
At that moment, they all sat on the sofa, eyes glued to the television screen.
“Tangyu, Tangyu, I love you, just like mice love rice!
That one’s too cheesy, isn’t there anything fresh?
That line’s been said for years.
Look at this, ‘Tangyu, you’re a thief who’s stolen my heart, your domineering cruelty has trampled my affections.
Oh em gee, I’m deeply enchanted by you, please accept my token of affection!’ Pfft—queer, so funny.
Genius, real genius.
And there’s more, this one is hilarious too.” The three laughed merrily as they browsed through the comments on the computer.
Tangyu walked in and immediately heard the ‘Tangyu, Tangyu, I love you’ remark, turning to look at Zhao Yaya, wondering why she was so bold today.
He then realized the three were looking at the computer, probably reading a slew of comments about him online.
“Oh, Good Guy Brother, you’re finally back!
You’ve become famous again; there’s news about you everywhere, it’s so funny,” Zhao Yaya said.
“What’s so funny about it?
Seeing how you’re all gloating, I bet it’s all criticism.
I don’t believe there’s anything nice,” Tangyu said.
Yaya laughed, “Hehe, Good Guy Brother, you’re so smart!
You knew it before even looking.
Sure, there’s a chorus of criticism, but it’s not all bad.
There are also a lot of compliments and flowers.
Look, this is a wall for confessions to you, with over twenty-thousand comments, and the number is growing rapidly.
I bet it will break a hundred thousand by tomorrow.
Hehe, there’s a tally—four layers of the comments are from women, and six layers from men.
Ha, Good Guy Brother, you’re quite popular with men now.”
“Uh…” Tangyu suddenly felt a chill, and Guo Momo and Lin Feifei couldn’t help but snicker; it was too funny to contain.
“And also, those under twenty make up the fifth layer, those over forty make up the third layer, and those between twenty and forty make up two layers.
Haha, good-hearted brother, those who like you are either minors or old grannies and grandpas,” Zhao Yaya continued.
“…” Tangyu continued to feel frustrated.
Tangyu snatched the computer: “Let me see.” Tangyu browsed through some major portal websites and forums, indeed, most of them were filled with curses, and all kinds of ugly words were readily available, fully demonstrating how strong the fighting spirit of a nation could be.
Not to mention eighteen generations, even eighty generations were cursed.
There were also sighs of doubt, filling the air.
There was no helping it, considering Tangyu had always been unknown, and suddenly popped up to become the captain of the Traditional Chinese Medicine team, this was naturally as earth-shattering as it gets, leading to the skepticism.
There was also excessive promotion of the DHA5 Biomedical Remedy.
Even many headlines carried the following words: A new revolution in the medical world is about to lead the way, American Western medical experts have brought the latest research results DHA5, a single dose can completely cure the world’s most difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and at that time, Western medicine will conquer all ailments.
Every headline was hotly discussing DHA5, and many foreign media were also reporting on it, obviously causing quite a stir all over the world.
This commotion was also the most direct impact on Traditional Chinese Medicine as a wave-like torrent launched a fierce assault on it, and foreign media were basically biased toward the Western medical delegation.
As for these doubts, sighs, and even curses, Tangyu was prepared, and had anticipated such outcomes.
However, these were all superficial, this was just the beginning.
Dignity had to be won with strength.
Tangyu believed that very soon, everyone would shut up, everyone would be staring wide-eyed, jaw-dropping at Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Such situations would not take long to completely turn around.
And this would be a counterattack from a desperate position, a world war to turn the tide.
However, what still greatly comforted Tangyu was that there were also many expressions of appreciation and support from lovers of Traditional Chinese Medicine and patriots.
Only a united nation could be a strong nation, and only a united Traditional Chinese Medicine community could be a vibrant community.
“Okay, stop looking at these, they’re meaningless,” Tangyu closed the computer and said.
“If you don’t look, we will, it’s too funny and too interesting,” Zhao Yaya grabbed the computer away.
Lin Feifei also asked with concern, “Tangyu, are you okay?
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, no matter what others say, we will always believe in you and support you, you will definitely win.”
“Of course, I Won’t Lose,” Tangyu said.
“Hehe good-hearted brother, I also believe you won’t lose, because you are the toughest in my heart.
However, I’ve discovered a very serious problem,” Zhao Yaya said with a smile.
Tangyu raised an eyebrow and asked, “What problem?”
Zhao Yaya pointed at some pictures on the computer and said, “Good-hearted brother, look, you’re not photogenic at all.
When you stand with those people, you don’t look handsome at all.
But, even though you’re not camera-friendly and aren’t exceedingly handsome on screen, your presence is very strong, especially those speeches you made, too cool, too MAN.
Good-hearted brother, I seriously think you need a good makeover; this image won’t do.
Momo, Feifei, what do you think?”
“…” Tangyu was immediately depressed, wasn’t this just saying he was not handsome enough?
Even if he wasn’t camera-friendly, he was still considered a capable actor.
“This suit, it’s time for a change,” Lin Feifei suggested after a glance.
“The hairstyle needs to be changed too,” Guo Momo also said.
“Hehe exactly, that’s what I mean.
I think if good-hearted brother wears an Armani casual suit, he would definitely look very handsome, and his aura would also improve significantly.
Get a professional hairstylist to do a nice hairstyle, and you’ll definitely be cool enough to knock both men and women dead,” Zhao Yaya said.
Tangyu felt like coughing up blood—knock both men and women dead, huh?
Tangyu would rather just impress the ladies.
“How about we go to the Wild Street then?” Zhao Yaya suggested.
“No way, if Tangyu goes out now, he’ll definitely be surrounded by reporters.
And if not by reporters, he’d probably be surrounded by citizens.
Look how heated up this issue has become,” Lin Feifei disagreed.
Zhao Yaya nodded and said, “That’s true, going out like this would be too dangerous.
Let’s just invite people over to our place.
Feifei, you measure good-hearted brother’s size, and Momo you call someone to buy the clothes; I’ll handle the hairstylist.”
The three women busily got to work, and to the side, Tangyu almost wanted to cry without tears.
Had anyone asked for his opinion?
He was handsome enough already, why did he need to dress up?
It was just bullying.
