Zhang Xiaoshan asked, slightly puzzled.
"In all of White Dragon Village, I’m the only one who knows medicine. If I don’t help you, who else will?"
Ge Xiue said with a flushed face. The rıghtful source is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
"But, but you’re like a little brother to me, someone I’ve watched grow up. How could I do such a thing with you? Besides, I consider your sister-in-law like a sister to me. How could I face her after this? Absolutely not."
Listening to Ge Xiue’s words, Zhang Xiaoshan finally realized.
"No, Sister Xiue, you’ve misunderstood me. There are other ways to treat your condition," he said.
"Ah, you rascal! Why didn’t you say so earlier? Were you just teasing me, you bad boy..."
Ge Xiue’s cheeks were flushed as she pinched Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm gently. It wasn’t a strong pinch, but it was enough to make his soul feel like it was flying.
Ge Xiue was certainly living up to the epithet of being irresistibly charming.
This woman, with her mature allure, was truly enchanting.
Feeling Zhang Xiaoshan’s gaze becoming inappropriate, Ge Xiue hurriedly withdrew her hand and sternly asked him,
"So, what other methods do you have to help me?"
"We can use physical methods to open the blockages. I can give you a massage to clear the blocked meridians, allowing the blood and qi to flow naturally. Then, I’ll prepare a dose of Blood Circulation Soup for you. Continuously taking it for a while should cure the disease."
"Massage, massage where?"
"Of course, your abdomen."
Ge Xiue bit her lip tightly, looking extremely embarrassed and hesitant.
Zhang Xiaoshan reassured her,
"Sister Xiue, one shouldn’t be bashful in seeking treatment. Don’t overthink it. There’s nothing to it. Many gynecologists in the city are men. Besides, I’m just going to give you a massage. There won’t be any excessively intimate contact."
"If we don’t act quickly on your condition, it could worsen and become much more difficult to treat later."
Ge Xiue thought of her precious daughter. If she fell ill, who would take care of her daughter? Relying on her good-for-nothing husband was out of the question.
Ge Xiue lay down on the treatment room’s hospital bed.
It still carried Zhang Xiaoshan’s lingering scent.
Haven’t been intimate with a man for a long time, Ge Xiue was somewhat flustered and found herself attracted to Zhang Xiaoshan. She quickly shut her eyes and lay quietly.
Zhang Xiaoshan said with some difficulty,
"Sister Yue E, you need to take off your top and expose your abdomen, otherwise I won’t be able to accurately locate the acupuncture points..."
"Alright, alright..."
Ge Xiue awkwardly slid off her upper garment, revealing her abdomen wrapped only in a white cloth.
Despite having had a child, her abdomen was still flat and pale.
Zhang Xiaoshan laid his hands on Ge Xiue’s abdomen and began to move them.
Ge Xiue’s belly felt nice to touch, but at that moment, Zhang Xiaoshan was merely a physician, maintaining professional integrity and a clear mind.
"Sister Xiue, don’t worry, I’m definitely not going to take advantage of you. Give me a few minutes; I’ll have it unclogged very soon," he assured.
Ge Xiue blinked but did not speak.
In Zhang Xiaoshan’s mind, the massage techniques automatically began to form.
He focused on Ge Xiue’s abdomen.
Under his skillful eyes, the blocked meridians on Ge Xiue’s body vividly appeared before him.
He continuously pressed and kneaded. He was totally engrossed in the treatment process, almost losing self-awareness. Sometimes he accidentally touched some special areas, but Zhang Xiaoshan felt nothing—even though Ge Xiue reacted strongly, her face flushed with embarrassment but also relishing the comfortable sensation, not wanting him to stop.
Ge Xiue felt a warm current flow from Zhang Xiaoshan’s hands into her body. With every press and knead by Zhang Xiaoshan, it surged through her, breaking through barriers and giving her immense relief. She even lost herself a little, forgetting that the person treating her was none other than Zhang Xiaoshan, whom she regarded as a younger brother.
"Sister Xiue, how are you feeling?"
Zhang Xiaoshan asked with concern.
Stunned back to reality, Ge Xiue felt as if she had been struck by lightning and instantaneously sobered up.
"This is mortifying."
She hastily grabbed a blanket nearby to cover herself, now acutely aware of her ludicrous behavior just moments ago that Zhang Xiaoshan, whom she saw as a brother, had clearly witnessed. She was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
"Sister, are you alright?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked with concern, reaching to feel Ge Xiue’s pulse.
"I—I’m fine. Please, leave for now."
Ge Xiue withdrew her hand and dared not reveal her face from under the blanket.
Only then did Zhang Xiaoshan begin to feel a bit embarrassed.
Zhang Xiaoshan left the health room.
Only then did Ge Xiue dare to peek from under the blanket, glimpsing Zhang Xiaoshan’s silhouette through the glass window.
"Did that silly boy really just leave like that?"
Ge Xiue unexpectedly felt a bit of regret in her heart.
