Thank You Doctor Episode 35 Recap

During lunch, Xu Yiran invited Xiao Yan to join him and Bai Shu. Xu Yiran then casually asked Xiao Yan if her face was really covered in pimples when she was younger, implying that Bai Shu was the one who told him. Xiao Yan shot an angry glare at Bai Shu, who quickly excused himself and left without finishing his meal.
Later, Huang Li Li was brought to the Emergency Department of Tongshan Hospital by her husband due to a severe lung infection and persistent coughing. Bai Shu immediately recognized her as the salesperson who had been peddling "all-natural fruit juice" in the hospital. Despite her critical condition, Huang Li Li vehemently refused an IV drip, insisting that antibiotics would only weaken her immune system and that her juice was sufficient for detoxification.
Her husband, frustrated, threatened divorce, which finally made her reluctantly agree to the treatment. He explained to Bai Shu and Xiao Yan that Huang Li Li had been coughing for a long time but refused medicine, believing the juice could cure all ailments. She had been substituting meals with the juice and even selling it to friends and family. Bai Shu advised her husband to prevent her from consuming the juice further.
Huang Li Li continued to argue that her fever was a sign of detoxification and that antibiotics were harmful. Tang Hua, unable to tolerate her unscientific claims, retorted, but Huang Li Li persisted, even attempting to sell the expensive, 380-yuan-per-bottle juice to Tang Hua. Back in the office, Tang Hua expressed her disgust at Huang Li Li's behavior. Xu Yiran noted the juice's simple ingredients, which offered no medicinal value.
Xiao Yan and Lin Zhi also dismissed such online health pseudo-science, but acknowledged its wide acceptance, particularly among the elderly, despite official debunking efforts. During rounds, Huang Li Li tried to promote the fruit juice to Lin Zhi, who quickly avoided her, even getting a warning from Huang Li Li's husband. Xiao Yan later found Huang Li Li's husband sitting dejectedly in the hallway. He confided in Xiao Yan, regretting that his wife had become involved with the juice.
He explained that since she started selling it, she neglected their child and home, constantly attending classes, training, and even going on team-building trips during New Year's, abandoning him and their child. He suspected she was involved in a pyramid scheme and had reported it to the police. Xiao Yan deduced that Huang Li Li, after becoming a stay-at-home mother, might have sought a sense of purpose and belonging through the juice, especially with her husband often busy with work.
Meanwhile, Qian Qian's condition improved, but she refused to return to school, recounting instances of bullying and discrimination from her classmates, including being mocked by Wang Chen in a group chat about her appearance. Her mother was heartbroken to learn about Qian Qian's suffering and comforted her, suggesting they wait if she didn't want to go back to school right away. Xiao Yan, reviewing Qian Qian's test results, discovered an adenoma on her left adrenal gland.
This adenoma was causing ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome, which, along with her indiscriminate use of various unregulated diet pills, had resulted in hormone imbalance, osteoporosis, and a tibial fracture. Xiao Yan scheduled surgery to remove the benign tumor, reassuring Qian Qian that her body would naturally slim down after hormone levels normalized. In another part of the hospital, An Jianhong, a micro-business owner selling facial masks, was getting her injuries bandaged after a fall.
Her friend, Wen Jin Jin, a popular online influencer, suggested An Jianhong join her in live-stream selling. An Jianhong firmly refused, joking that their friendship boat had capsized. Wen Jin Jin then noticed Bai Shu rushing by and was immediately captivated by his handsome appearance. Later, she brazenly entered Bai Shu's office, live-streaming and offering to make him hand-ground coffee. Bai Shu, annoyed by her intrusion, called security, prompting Wen Jin Jin to make a hasty exit.
Wen Jin Jin's live streams, titled "My Daily Life with the Male God," quickly gained traction online, with her fans following her pursuit of Bai Shu as if it were a romance novel. Xu Yiran jokingly remarked on Bai Shu's unexpected popularity, while Tang Hua expressed her disdain for Bai Shu attracting attention, which she felt distracted from his medical duties. Wen Jin Jin soon returned to the hospital, relentlessly pursuing Bai Shu.
He sternly warned her that the hospital was a place for healing and saving lives and that she should respect his profession and not interfere with his work. Though disappointed, she eventually left, reiterating her genuine admiration for him and stating she was not being unreasonable. Concerned by Wen Jin Jin's persistent antics, Xu Yiran approached Xiao Yan, asking her to pretend to be Bai Shu's girlfriend to deter the persistent influencer.
Xiao Yan flatly refused, stating that she and Bai Shu were merely colleagues and she didn't want to create unnecessary misunderstandings. She advised Xu Yiran to tell Bai Shu to handle his own problems. When Bai Shu learned of Xu Yiran's ill-conceived plan, he was furious with his friend and sought out Xiao Yan, explaining that it was not his idea. Xiao Yan simply acknowledged his explanation without pressing the matter. Distraught, Bai Shu returned home and drank alcohol.
Little Guang, his son, teased him for wallowing in self-pity and being a disgrace to the Bai family. To clear his head, Bai Shu decided to take a cold shower, which unfortunately led to him catching a cold and developing a fever. Since he couldn't take cold medicine after drinking, Little Guang called Xiao Yan for help, mentioning he hadn't had dinner yet.
Xiao Yan, having just gotten off work, bought dinner for Little Guang and immediately headed to Bai Shu's home. She found Bai Shu in his bedroom, delirious with fever and murmuring her name. As Xiao Yan prepared honey water for Bai Shu, Zheng Yajie called, worried because Bai Shu hadn't replied to her messages. Upon learning he was sick, Zheng Yajie rushed over, ignoring Little Guang's attempts to stop her.
Xiao Yan finished making the honey water, gave instructions to Little Guang about Bai Shu's medicine for the next day, and then left. Shortly after, Zheng Yajie arrived, made ginger tea, and tenderly fed it to a still-dazed Bai Shu, using the opportunity to confess her feelings for him. Back at home, Xiao Yan watched Wen Jin Jin's live stream, recalling Bai Shu's previous heartfelt confession to her by the river, and felt a complex mix of emotions.
