Arabella went on, "Compared to modern medical treatments, traditional medicine is more clear-cut, more proactive, and without any side effects.” Once she dropped this bomb, the entire class of neurology students broke out in applause. She's too good! Way to go, Arabella! Before, they were always getting crushed by the surgery students during class.

"Seems like Arabella's been hitting the books hard on this topic. Yeah, the medicine Arabella mentioned does indeed belong to traditional herbal medicine, and the cold capsules are indeed a mix of two medicines. Well said, Arabella. Audrey, you'll have to step up your gafter class. You may sit down now." Audrey sat down awkwardly, at which point her friend Chloe couldn't help but stand up and say, "Professor Lambert, | have a question for Arabella.” Professor Lambert could clearly see the rivalry brewing between the surgery students and the neurology students, or, to be more precise, their animosity toward Arabella.
"Arabella, you make traditional herbal medicine sound like the bee's knees. I've had a cold for six days now, but why hasn't the traditional herbal medicine worked? Are you misinformed about traditional herbal medicine, exaggerating its effects, or is it just not as effective as modern medicine? After all, you major in neurology, so you are not an expert in the traditional herbal medicine." This question was clearly a jab, but Arabella simply responded nonchalantly, "Who knows what you've been eating with your meds?" Taking a pack of medicine every day was one thing; taking it every three days was another. Who knew if she's been eating something that interfered with the medicine? Chloe laughed out of frustration. "I bet all Arabella can do is talk the talk. When it comes to treating an actual illness, she probably doesn't know jack." "Do you really need to overthink such a simple issue?" Arabella looked at her with interest and asked, "You want to get better? Cup to the podium.” Chloe froze, as did the rest of the class. What was Arabella up to? They were all puzzled.
"What, are you scared?" Arabella smirked at her.

Seeing the two students approach the podium, Professor Lambert stepped back with interest. He was curious to see how Arabella would handle this.
"Giveyour hand," Arabella said casually.
Chloe reached out her hand. Was Arabella going to take Chloe’s pulse? Did she even know that? Arabella placed her hand on Chloe's pulse, then turned to Professor Lambert.
When the bell rang earlier, she saw Professor Lambert bring in an acupuncture kit. Now she asked politely, "Professor Lambert, may | borrow your acupuncture kit?" Professor Lambert: "Sure, it's on the desk.” Acupuncture? Arabella planned to treat Chloe's cold with acupuncture? Wasn't she majoring in neurology? How can she master the medical skills of other countries? Had she lost her mind? Was she really a talent? Chloe quickly pulled her hand away. "Are you a doctor? You are a neurology major. Can anyone just perform acupuncture?” "You said you wanted to get better, right?" Arabella quickly disinfected a silver needle with alcohol. Seeing Chloe hide her hand behind her, too scared to reach out, Arabella grabbed her hand directly, disinfected a spot on the radial side of her thumb near the nail with an alcohol swab, and promptly inserted the needle.
