Chen Zilan looked around curiously, taking in the spacious, bright classrooms filled with neat rows of desks, chairs, and various medical instruments.
The walls were covered with charts of human meridians and illustrations of medicinal herbs, so numerous it was hard to take them all in at once.

Another girl, around ten years old, leaned toward a cabinet filled with medicinal ingredients. She brought her nose close, took a sniff, and said, "Wow, it smells so good!"
A few other girls gathered around a medical mannequin, curiously fiddling with the markers indicating its acupoints.
Zixi watched them with a smile, patiently answering their questions as she guided them on the tour.
