Urban Super Medical Saint

"I'm ready!" Liu Jiayao, thinking about the immediate task ahead, leaned weakly against the doorframe and bit her red lips as she said to Ge Dongxu, all the while telling herself repeatedly in her heart, he's a doctor, he's a doctor, and also a child, just a child!

However, no matter how much Liu Jiayao tried to convince herself, she couldn't ignore Ge Dongxu's nearly 1.7 meters height, the clearly defined Adam's apple, and the increasingly evident stubble on his lips.

How could she possibly treat him as a child?

Liu Jiayao didn't realize how enticing she looked, wearing a bathrobe with slightly damp hair, leaning against the doorframe. If Ge Dongxu hadn't been a man of pure heart and firm resolve, any other man would have probably pounced on her at this moment.

"Okay!" Ge Dongxu took a deep breath and then, like a hero marching to execution, he lifted his head and walked towards the bedroom.

Seeing Ge Dongxu approach, Liu Jiayao turned away from the door and walked to the bedside, turning her back to Ge Dongxu as she started to undo her bathrobe.

"Wait a moment!" Ge Dongxu hurriedly exclaimed, his gaze quickly scanning the bedroom.

The room was arranged to be very cozy and feminine, with everything in pink. Pink curtains, pink bedding, a pink vanity...

Such a color scheme easily evoked images of a princess from a fairy tale, hardly reminiscent of a female corporate executive, a strong woman.

Yet the room of Liu Jiayao, the female executive, the strong woman, was indeed all pink.

Feeling the romantic and ambiguous pink decoration filling the bedroom, Ge Dongxu's heart did not stir with any flirtatious thoughts, but rather, a strong sense of tender affection inexplicably rose within him.

He knew that within the heart of this seemingly strong woman, she deeply yearned to be loved and pampered like a little princess, but the ones who could love and pamper her were no longer here.

"Don't I need to take it off for you to treat me?" Liu Jiayao's hand froze on the tie, then slowly relaxed, as she turned around and asked Ge Dongxu, puzzled.

"Before treating you, I need to explain a few things so that you are aware and can relax more during the treatment, and also cooperate with me. Otherwise, if you know nothing and your thoughts are in chaos and your energy scatters wildly, it might even affect me," Ge Dongxu explained.

"Thank you, you are very thoughtful," Liu Jiayao said softly, appreciatively.

"We have already become friends, so we don't need to be so formal, let's sit down and talk," Ge Dongxu said, scanning the bedroom only to awkwardly notice that aside from a chair near the vanity, there was no extra chair.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Let's sit on the bed," Liu Jiayao said, seeing that Ge Dongxu had an honest and upright look, especially since his gaze at her just now had not only lacked any inappropriate thoughts but also carried a hint of compassion. This eased Liu Jiayao's nerves, and she sat down on the soft Simmons bed, then patted the spot beside her.

Ge Dongxu initially wanted to suggest moving to the living room, but seeing Liu Jiayao's invitation to sit on the bed and remembering what they were about to do, he felt it was alright and walked over to sit next to Liu Jiayao on the Simmons bed.

"This bed is so soft; actually, from a health and wellness perspective, it is better to sleep on a hard bed," Ge Dongxu remarked as he sat down and felt himself sink into the mattress, saying this without thinking.

"But sleeping on a hard bed makes my bones ache, I like it soft," Liu Jiayao replied.

"Well, alright then," Ge Dongxu said, just making a casual remark, and smiled helplessly as he nodded his head, then changed the topic, "Western medicine now believes the human body has two circulation systems: blood vessels and nerves, but traditional Chinese medicine believes there is also a Meridians circulation system. Blood vessels carry blood, nerves conduct electrical signals, but the Meridians carry Qi-Blood. The former two can be concretely located, but Meridians and Qi-Blood are still mysterious, no one can truly understand it or display it for others to see. However, Meridians do exist, and so does Qi-Blood. Hm, you might not understand when I say Qi-Blood, but if I say True Qi or the Qigong that Qigong masters practice, which people often talk about, then you'll know. Qi-Blood actually refers to that special energy."

"Ah, I understand when you mention Qigong. So, Qigong is real, not a scam?" Liu Jiayao asked. After she spoke, she suddenly felt as if she might be questioning Ge Dongxu too, and quickly added, "I don't mean you, I know you truly have skills."

"It should be said that most Qigong masters are fake, but there are real ones. It's like fortune-telling, most are deceiving people, but real fortune tellers do exist, sorry, I digress. Back to Qi-Blood, well, let's use True Qi instead, I'm more used to describing that special energy as True Qi. Because True Qi is like air, invisible to the naked eye, so we describe it as Qi. Both Meridians and that strand of True Qi are indeed inherent to humans and related to the life and death of a person, hence the saying, 'a man lives as long as he breathes, a Buddha fights for a stick of incense'. Here, 'Qi' actually refers to that strand of True Qi within the Meridians," Ge Dongxu explained further.

"So, the saying that 'a man lives as long as he breathes, a Buddha fights for a stick of incense' has this interpretation," Liu Jiayao said with a glimmer in her eyes, unable to resist interjecting.

"The human body has the Twelve Regular Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, each of the Twelve Regular Meridians governs an organ within the body, and the body's True Qi operates in each of the twelve meridians according to the twelve Chinese Hours, which is what is called 'midnight and noon channels' flow. Cough cough, sorry, I digressed again."

"No problem, what you are saying is eye-opening for me, very interesting," Liu Jiayao remarked.

"So, if a certain organ has a problem, accordingly, the True Qi of the governing Meridian becomes obstructed at certain organ points, and then the person becomes ill. If methods like Acupuncture are used to stimulate certain Meridians and points, it can have a therapeutic effect. Conversely, if there is an issue with a Meridian and True Qi cannot flow through it, unable to provide life energy to the organs via the Meridians, the person will also become ill."

"Oh, now that you've explained it, I completely understand. My current condition is exactly what you mentioned, the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian and another Meridian are blocked, which is why my heart has issues. No wonder, Western medicine couldn't detect any problems; it's the Meridians they can't detect," Ge Dongxu had said. Now, Liu Jiayao finally understood fully. However, after realizing, she suddenly thought of another question and couldn't help but ask again, "In martial arts novels, there's often talk of unblocking Meridians, especially the governor and conception vessels and then becoming a martial arts master. But according to what you just said, Meridians are supposed to be unblocked already."
