Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Treating Illness
Lin Ruoxue was willing to let Su Chen give it a try, instead of going straight to the hospital, because the nearest top-tier hospital was nearly an hour's drive from her home, and she clearly found it difficult to endure for such a long time.
Lin Ruoxue had been seriously ill as a child, and the old Lin Master did not trust her to be treated in a small hospital, so he insisted that she must go to a top-tier hospital for medical treatment.
"Aren't you going to treat me quickly?"
Lin Ruoxue, seeing Su Chen still hesitating and dallying, immediately spoke out.
She could only hope now that Su Chen was really as impressive as he claimed to be.
As for the request he made, Lin Ruoxue was too preoccupied to consider it, because her pain was getting worse by the minute.
"I need you to lift your shirt up a bit, so I can place the needle,"
Su Chen said to Lin Ruoxue somewhat awkwardly.
Lin Ruoxue was slightly startled, her face reddening again, but because her complexion was somewhat pale at the moment, it was not very noticeable.
Lin Ruoxue understood that since this was a medical treatment, some physical contact might be inevitable.
She hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out and lifted her shirt up a little.
Lin Ruoxue closed her eyes, once again lifted her shirt up a bit, exposing a patch of snowy white.
Seeing Lin Ruoxue's smooth, creamy waist, Su Chen couldn't help but swallow. Her slender willowy waist was devoid of any excess fat and faintly revealed two sexy lines.
How does this girl maintain such a great figure without even working out?
Su Chen could only lament the unfairness of the Creator, as a beauty like Lin Ruoxue, who seemed to have taken the essence of nature, was indeed rare!
"What am I thinking about? Right now, I am a doctor!"
Su Chen silently admonished himself, steadied his mind, then pulled out a Silver Needle from the cloth bag and wiped it between the two largest ribs.
Then, he took out two slightly shorter and thicker Silver Needles and inserted them above the acupoints of the waist, followed by placing another needle about an inch and a half above the belly button.
After these few needles were in place, Lin Ruoxue felt the intense pain she had been experiencing dissipate a lot, and her complexion returned to normal. She couldn't help but be amazed!
She looked at Su Chen with an even more inquisitive gaze.
However, at this moment, Su Chen didn't have the mind to care about these, because he was facing an even more awkward dilemma.
"What's the matter? Is it done?"
Seeing Su Chen suddenly stop, Lin Ruoxue asked.
"Not yet."
Then hurry up."
Now, Lin Ruoxue had gained a bit more confidence in Su Chen's medical skills; even if it didn't cure her, it probably wouldn't make things worse, at least reducing some pain.
"This, this, this," Su Chen stuttered for a while before he managed to say what he wanted to say, "for this, I now need you to unfasten the button on your pants, as I need to use a needle near your belly button."
Lin Ruoxue was immediately stunned, with a flush of red climbing up her face and reaching her neck.
The contact just now had already pushed beyond Lin Ruoxue's comfort zone, but she had endured it for the sake of treatment.
But now? To actually have to unfasten her pants button, Lin Ruoxue couldn't get past this hurdle in her heart.
"Do I really have to do this?" Lin Ruoxue's heart was filled with turmoil; she hadn't expected such a situation to arise.
"Yes. It's necessary because I need to place a needle two inches below and three inches below your belly button," Su Chen nodded, his expression very serious.
"You aren't taking advantage of me under the guise of treating me, are you?"
Lin Ruoxue looked at Su Chen with skepticism; she did not have much trust in Su Chen's character.
"Am I really that bad in your eyes?" Su Chen asked with a bitter smile, shaking his head, "If you want to completely cure the issue in your stomach, it must be done this way."
"Can you really completely cure my stomach ailment?"
Hearing Su Chen's words, Lin Ruoxue became very excited, grabbing onto Su Chen's arm with one hand.
This severe case of acute gastritis was the first for Lin Ruoxue, but her stomach ailments had been recurring frequently, happening two or three times a year.
It was likely that this severe outbreak was due to the lingering issues from before.
"I guarantee it!" Su Chen affirmed with a firm nod, "And I am just a doctor now. In the eyes of a doctor, there's no distinction between sexes, only patients."
"Alright, I trust you."
After some thought, Lin Ruoxue made up her mind.
She had been tormented by her stomach ailment for many years.
Lin Ruoxue's hands slowly moved to the button of her pants, and seeing Su Chen watching her every move, she suddenly felt extremely shy.
"Turn around," Lin Ruoxue halted her actions.
"What's there to be afraid of, you'll have to see it in a bit anyway."
Su Chen simply couldn't understand women's thoughts.
"No, turn around," she insisted.
"Alright, alright."
With certain requests from women, it's best for a man not to argue but just to comply.
Seeing Su Chen turn away, the tension in Lin Ruoxue's heart finally eased a bit, and then she slowly unbuttoned her pants.
"I'm ready."
Lin Ruoxue's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, clearly very nervous.
No wonder, Lin Ruoxue, although in her twenties, had never had a boyfriend, nor had she ever been so intimately close to a man before.
Knowing her nervousness, Su Chen did not waste any more time, swiftly drawing out two Silver Needles, targeting the acupuncture points just below Lin Ruoxue's navel.
Lin Ruoxue's heart thumped loudly; she could vividly feel the heat flushing her face, her body feeling as though it was burning.
Su Chen's movements were lightning-fast, inserting the two Silver Needles accurately into the points, two cun and eight fen deep, without the slightest deviation.
Following that, Su Chen's right hand deftly twisted the ends of each Silver Needle, gently rotating them.
With Su Chen's manipulation, involuntary soft gasps escaped from Lin Ruoxue's lips, as if originating from deep within her throat, laced with both pain and seemingly a hint of pleasure.
This truly reflected Lin Ruoxue's current state; she felt a heaviness of pain, yet at the same time, an unprecedented sensation of lightness.
It was an extraordinary sensation, yet indescribable in words.
Moments later, Su Chen ceased his movement and began extracting the Silver Needles, one by one. As the last needle was removed, Lin Ruoxue suddenly sat up, emitting a long, muffled groan.
"We're done."
Su Chen said with a smile, putting away the Silver Needles.
Upon hearing that, Lin Ruoxue immediately felt for any pain and found it completely gone; her body was filled with energy.
Lin Ruoxue had never felt this comfortable before. Her body had always felt as if it was weighed down by lead, constantly burdened, but now, it was as if all the shackles had been removed, leaving her feeling utterly light and free!
