When Li Yang and Lin Xiaoyu arrived at Li's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, the waiting room was filled with patients, all waiting in an orderly fashion.
Li Xu, dressed in a simple white coat, was in his consultation room, taking a patient's pulse and making inquiries with a focused expression.
They waited for a while.
After Li Xu finished with one patient, he took a short break.
Lin Xiaoyu went up to greet Li Xu and introduced Li Yang to him.
"Dr. Li, this is Reporter Li Yang from the news agency. Reporter Li, this is Dr. Li Xu."
Li Xu stood up, smiled, and extended his hand to Li Yang. "Reporter Li, a pleasure to meet you. I've heard a lot about you."
Li Yang quickly shook Li Xu's hand and said excitedly, "Dr. Li, the pleasure is all mine! I've been looking forward to meeting you. Your paper in *The Lancet* is a true honor for Dragon Country's medical community."
After some pleasantries, Li Xu invited them to rest in the back courtyard.
