Chapter 571: Chapter 563: Take off Your Clothes Chapter 571: Chapter 563: Take off Your Clothes Tang Yuxin squatted down, untied Gu Ning’s shoelaces and took off his shoes.
Only then did she realize that Gu Ning was more exhausted than she had imagined.
Not just exhaustion, he had numerous wounds as well.
Gu Ning’s feet had visible blisters.
Given his work didn’t involve much walking, such a condition would only result occurred if he had walked a considerable distance.
No doubt, his recent journey must have been incredibly arduous, though she couldn’t fully grasp the extent of what he’d been through.
His feet were covered in thick calluses that still were rubbed raw to form blisters.
Some parts even had raw, flesh exposed, creating a gruesome sight.
Honestly, looking at his feet made Tang Yuxin’s heartache.
She wondered if Gu Ning felt pain, or if he was someone who didn’t experience pain at all.
Perhaps that’s why he could unhesitatingly donate his kidney to a woman in his previous life.
But that can’t be it.
In the past, when she accidentally passed by his ward and helped him with his injections, she noticed that his calm face would crease upon feeling the needle pierce his skin.
Regardless of his calm expression, his tense muscles gave away his discomfort.
Therefore, he felt pain.
He could sense the pain.
Obviously, everyone felt pain.
He probably was just more tolerant of it.
Thinking about the past, it seemed like both of them led equally unfortunate lives.
Tang Yuxin moved the basin closer.
Thankfully, Gu Ning’s legs were on the ground.
If they weren’t, she didn’t know how she would move this big man down from the bed.
She rolled up her sleeves, placed Gu Ning’s feet in the basin filled with blackishly colored water.
The strong fragrance of the Chinese herbs in the water was quite powerful.
The moment Gu Ning’s feet touched this medicinal mixture, he jolted awake.
“Don’t move,” Tang Yuxin squeezed his calf, indicating this was an important step in the treatment.
Gu Ning froze for a moment, then remained still.
He sat up and saw Tang Yuxin squatting on the ground, her fingers pressing points on his feet.
And he could feel a mild prickling sensation at the points of her touch.
Was this acupressure?
Even though Gu Ning was no expert in Traditional Chinese Medicine, he knew about acupressure points on a human’s body.
He stretched out his hand, placing it above Tang Yuxin’s head.
“Thank you.”
Tang Yuxin touched his palm, “Don’t always pat my head like you do to a small dog.”
The corner of Gu Ning’s lips lifted slightly, indicating he seemed in a pretty good mood.
Strangely enough, his feet no longer hurt as much.
He had endured countless years of pain, so these minor injuries were easy for him to get used to.
After a few days of rest, he should be fine.
Having said that, he could still feel the initial pain.
Feeling pain is a human instinct, just like crying and laughing.
He was a normal person, so naturally, he wouldn’t forget his instinct.
Although he could bear the pain, he couldn’t ignore it.
The medicine in this infusion had disinfecting and pain-relieving properties.
Tang Yuxin stood and pulled Gu Ning’s hand.
She noticed his hands were covered in wounds too.
What had he done to injure himself all over like this?
Did he have a body type prone to injuries?
“Soak it a bit longer.”
After saying this, she went out and returned with her medical kit.
She had an abundant supply of medicine, enough to the point one couldn’t even keep count.
“Hand,” she gestured Gu Ning, and he gently stretched out his left hand.
She cleaned, disinfected, and medicated it.
There was no need to bandage it.
After all, he was not some dainty young master who didn’t do anything.
ƝᴑνǤᴑ.сο
The ointment Tang Yuxin made herself was quite useful.
Apply a bit on the injury and it healed quickly, not requiring any bandages.
As for the wounds on his feet, soaking them in the herbal solution would suffice.
However, the best medicine for Gu Ning was time.
As long as he rested for a few days, his strong self-healing ability would help him recover quickly.
“Okay,” Tang Yuxin brought a pile of materials in as she stood in front of Gu Ning.
“Remove your clothes.”
Gu Ning’s eyes twitched.
“Are you sure?”
“Uh-huh,” Tang Yuxin moved her face closer to his, “Why wouldn’t I be sure?”
Her eyes were clear as water, revealing no ulterior motives.
Alright, Gu Ning rubbed his temples, feeling the need to give Tang Yuxin a lesson about how a woman should interact with a man.
Gu Ning stripped off his outerwear and his shirt, revealing a remarkably robust body.
His tan skin and his toned muscles, coupled with a chiseled six-pack and a seductive V-cut waistline, exuded a masculine beauty.
Tang Yuxin was a doctor and was accustomed to seeing male bodies, but Gu Ning’s body was exceptional.
Moreover, his golden ratio physique was quite impressive.
“Lie down.”
Tang Yuxin asked Gu Ning to lie down and then took out some medicinal oil for blood circulation and dispelling stagnation.
“This skill is my secret craft, and not many have experienced it.”
Tang Yuxin dribbled the medicine onto her hands and rubbed her hands together.
Back in her previous life, her mother-in-law, a cunning old woman, insisted on daily health regimes.
The old woman would go anywhere for these regimes, but found joy in taking Tang Yuxin, her daughter-in-law, to learn from others.
Because of her mother-in-law’s nagging, she was forced to apprenticed under an old traditional Chinese doctor.
Unexpectedly, she was taught a unique craft.
The old doctor’s children didn’t want to inherit his skills.
Perhaps because he found her pleasant, or there was no one else to teach, she ended up being the lucky recipient of his knowledge.
Not only did she benefit from this craft but also did her mother-in-law.
Tang Yuxin placed her hand on Gu Ning’s shoulder, instantly realizing that his muscles were severely overworked.
She regretted not thinking about this skill earlier.
Drugs couldn’t cure such muscle strain.
There is no way she was going to plaster Gu Ning’s entire body with medicinal patches and let him radiate a charming aroma!
