In the bedroom, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Xu Li’s face was full of shyness, and she was still adjusting her emotions.
Ye Fan looked much calmer, his gaze clear and without any noticeable change.
"Adjust your mood, then we’ll start," Ye Fan said softly.
"Okay." Xu Li replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s, her heart very complicated.
Now she was lying before Ye Fan, allowing him to treat her as he pleased, which made her very resistant.
Even though she considered Ye Fan a doctor, she psychologically couldn’t overcome this hurdle.
If it were a female doctor, it would be fine, but the key was Ye Fan was male.
If not for the severe illness and the hospital’s inability to completely cure her, she wouldn’t let Ye Fan treat her.
Compared to leaving her husband and daughter, she’d rather let Ye Fan treat her. After all, she had a serious illness.
"What am I thinking? He’s as young as my daughter, in my mind he’s just a junior. Isn’t it just undressing for treatment? It’s no big deal, I’ll go for it." Xu Li silently encouraged herself.
Seeing Xu Li’s conflicted appearance, Ye Fan said, "How about I knock you out? That way you won’t feel embarrassed. I can finish in under five minutes, no need to be too tense."
"Knock me out?" Xu Li considered this suggestion, but couldn’t accept it. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Ye Fan or worried he would misbehave, it was simply because she didn’t want to be unaware of what was happening with Ye Fan. No matter what, she wanted to stay conscious.
From Xu Li’s changing expression, how could Ye Fan not understand what Xu Li was thinking? "Or, you could blindfold yourself. Maybe you’ll feel better if you can’t see."
"This suggestion is acceptable." Xu Li found a piece of black cloth, then lay down again. She whispered, "Turn your head. Once I’m ready, you can turn back."
"Alright." Ye Fan complied.
Xu Li covered herself with the quilt. As she rustled to undress, a slight friction sound came out. She peeked at Ye Fan, fearing he might sneak a glance at her. Seeing Ye Fan’s honest and disciplined demeanor, she felt much more at ease.
A moment later, she asked quietly, "Do I need to take it all off?"
Asking this question, Xu Li was extremely shy, wishing she could find a crack to hide in.
"All of it. If I have to do it myself later, it will make you even more embarrassed. Some acupoints are in sensitive areas, you know this. Otherwise, it will affect my treatment," Ye Fan replied earnestly.
"Oh!" Xu Li’s voice was so low she couldn’t even hear herself. She didn’t hesitate further, gritted her teeth, and acted. She then put the removed intimate clothing under the pillow, blindfolded herself, and lay flat on the bed, covered with the quilt.
"I’m ready, you can turn around now. How to proceed with the treatment is now up to you." Xu Li’s voice quivered slightly.
"Alright." Ye Fan turned around, noticing Xu Li was trembling with tension, her body subtly shaking, the quilt gently swaying. He spoke solemnly, "Try to relax, don’t be nervous, and don’t worry."
"Okay." Xu Li agreed, but thinking about the upcoming scene, she couldn’t calm herself.
"I’m going to uncover the quilt on you to start the treatment," Ye Fan sought her approval.
"Don’t worry about me, just go ahead," Xu Li’s lips moved slightly.
Ye Fan wasted no time, forcefully lifted the quilt and tossed it aside.
Ye Fan’s heart was as calm as water, his fingers constantly moving, causing subtle changes in acupoints under his deft touches.
