Questions Left Over From History

"Eh? Traditional Huaxian medicine?" 

Ji Qingyan asked, "Aren't you a doctor of Western medicine? Why are you asking about traditional Huaxian medicine?"

"I have some questions about traditional Chinese medicine that I need to clarify."

"Didn't you just cross your heart and say that you can help me solve anything? What, can you not do it anymore? Are you holding back on me?"

"I'm being serious. Cross my heart and hope to die," Ji Qingyan retorted.

"Besides, even though the faculty of medicine at Yan University doesn't offer a specialization in traditional Huaxian medicine, it doesn't mean that I can't help you, right?"

"Do you have connections in this area?"
