Wang Guoguo looked at Luo Ziling a few times in confusion. After confirming he wasn’t joking, she asked again, still puzzled, "Does it really have to be like this?"
"You saw how I treated your dad just now. Acupuncture is different from other treatments. If you’re interested in the specific principles, I’ll tell you later. I’ll just ask you one thing: do you want the treatment or not? If you mind, I’ll leave now." After Luo Ziling finished, he looked at Wang Guoguo with a half-smile.
Wang Guoguo seemed very torn, but in the end she gritted her teeth and nodded. "Fine then, you’re a doctor anyway."
About five minutes later, she stuck her head out and let Luo Ziling in.
"Where’s your mom? How come she’s not home?" After walking into Wang Guoguo’s clean and tidy bedroom, Luo Ziling started getting his tools ready while casually asking, "She’s not at home?"
"My mom’s at work. It’s not time to get off yet. I actually should be at work too, I just took leave today." Wang Guoguo seemed a bit stiff, nothing like how relaxed and natural she usually was.
"Let me confirm one more time, are you willing to accept my treatment?" Luo Ziling chuckled. "During the treatment, you’ll completely lose the ability to resist."
"Since you said it out loud, that means you’re not going to actually do anything, right?" Wang Guoguo smiled.
Luo Ziling laughed. "Handing me a Nice Guy Card like that is really no fun."
"Gross!" Wang Guoguo rolled her eyes again.
Luo Ziling didn’t say anything more. He told Wang Guoguo to lie down so he could start treating her.
Wang Guoguo lay down, looking a little restrained.
After she lay down, Luo Ziling took her arm and first felt her pulse.
After checking her pulse, he examined a few other things as well.
Somehow, while Luo Ziling was examining her, the originally very nervous Wang Guoguo actually calmed down, and her body relaxed.
When her body relaxed, Luo Ziling started treating her.
When Luo Ziling said "All done," Wang Guoguo still hadn’t quite reacted.
"That’s it?" She was very surprised.
Women really are strange creatures.
Luo Ziling said with a smile, "That’s it for today’s treatment. We’ll talk about the rest later! You unhealthy-minded ladies, don’t let your imagination run wild."
Suddenly being looked down on by Luo Ziling, Wang Guoguo was stunned for a moment, then flew into a shy rage.
"What did you say?" She bounced up from the bed and marched over to Luo Ziling aggressively. "You’re saying I have a dirty mind?"
Luo Ziling ignored her and just focused on packing his things.
Wang Guoguo turned her head slightly and, seeing that Luo Ziling was putting away the medical tools, finally let out a breath of relief.
"I still need to talk to you about something!" After packing up, Luo Ziling said to the blushing Wang Guoguo.
When she heard that, Wang Guoguo immediately grabbed her outer shirt, threw it over herself, and fastened the buttons.
"Your body will need multiple treatments before you see real results, but you can already feel the effect this time—you’ll feel much more comfortable than before. It might be a long time before I can treat you again, don’t blame me, I really don’t have a choice." As he spoke, Luo Ziling told her a few things she needed to watch out for, and wrote her a prescription, telling her to take the medicine according to it.
After he finished explaining all that, Luo Ziling then said solemnly, "Now we should talk about how you’re going to repay me, right? I’ve already helped your dad out with several big things, and I’ve helped you too. You haven’t given anything in return. That’s not balanced."
Wang Guoguo froze for a moment, not fully processing it.
"How do you want me to repay you?" she asked subconsciously.
