What kind of master of traditional Chinese medicine? I'm just a male technician.

Chapter 11 Fortune Telling Has a Brighter Future Than Traditional Chinese Medicine

Xia Bingyu is very familiar with the profession of massage therapist.

After all, there is a full-time masseuse in the volleyball team I coach.

However, they are all regular Western doctors.

As for traditional Chinese medicine massage, in her mind, it was all a sham to deceive people.

Xia Bingyu was worried that Li Yi would just give her a few massages and call it traditional Chinese medicine massage, and she wouldn't be able to refute it.

So she simply took the initiative to ask the other person to take her pulse.

If the other party says just one wrong word, I can expose their disguise directly.

Seeing Li Yi 'pretending' to caress her wrist for a while, Xia Bingyu immediately said, "How is it? Don't tell me you're perfectly healthy and have no problems at all."

"Quite the opposite!"

Li Yi frowned, his expression serious, and said, "Sister Xia, the problem in your body is very serious!"

Wang Tao was shocked upon hearing this. "No way? What terminal illness does Old Xia have?"

"It's not exactly a terminal illness."

Li Yi shook his head and explained, "However, Sister Xia's heart meridian is blocked, her pulse is rapid and sometimes pauses, and it is difficult and sluggish. Her condition is not optimistic."

Xia Bingyu was taken aback. "What do you mean by 'heart meridian obstruction'? Speak like a human being!"

"...Simply put, it's arrhythmia. Sister Xia, this is caused by long-term overexertion, leading to accumulated internal injuries. Coupled with your irritability and liver qi stagnation, if this continues, it could cause cardiac arrest at any time."

"Is it that serious?" Wang Tao's expression changed instantly. "Old Xia, let's go to the hospital right away."

Xia Bingyu scoffed, nonchalantly saying, "Tch! Cardiac arrest? I could kill a cow with one slap. Do I look like I'm sick?"

Wang Tao glanced at her, then paused.

Judging from Xia Bingyu's current appearance, she certainly doesn't seem to be sick.

"But what Xiao Li just said made perfect sense..."

"What utter nonsense! He only started making up a bunch of lies because you said I was a volleyball player."

As Xia Bingyu spoke, she glanced at Li Yi and said, "But you're quite the smooth talker. I think you should become a fortune teller; that's much more promising than traditional Chinese medicine."

Seeing that she didn't believe him at all, Li Yi could only look at Wang Tao and say, "Sister Wang, I would never lie. Sister Xia's problem is indeed very serious. We can't delay any longer."

"this......"

Wang Tao immediately became conflicted.

Psychologically, she believed Li Yi's words.

However, Xia Bingyu doesn't seem to be seriously ill right now.

"Old Xia...why don't we go to the hospital for a check-up? If it's really nothing, we can feel more at ease."

Xia Bingyu acted as if she hadn't heard Wang Tao's words, and turned to look at Li Yi, "Hmph! You've got a good plan, kid. Even a normal person can find out a bunch of minor problems after going to the hospital."

Then, you can exaggerate those minor ailments and claim you diagnosed them yourself by taking your pulse, and no one will be able to expose your identity as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

"Old Xia, Xiao Li wouldn't be that kind of person..."

"Peach, you can only know a person's face, not their heart. Don't be fooled by this kid. Besides, isn't he a traditional Chinese medicine doctor? If I'm really sick, I can have him treat me."

"..." Seeing that she couldn't persuade him no matter what she did, Wang Tao could only turn to look at Li Yi.

Li Yi frowned.

Because of the misunderstanding this morning, Xia Bingyu now has a lot of prejudice against me.

However, the other party was, after all, Wang Tao's best friend.

Human life is at stake now, he can't just ignore it.

However, Xia Bingyu's condition was much more serious than Bai Ruxue's, who suffered from kidney deficiency.

It's not that easy to solve this all at once.

Li Yi thought about it seriously for a while, and finally took a deep breath, "Sister Xia, how about I give you a massage first, and see if it can relieve your condition?"

"You really won't admit it until you're faced with the truth! Fine, go ahead and give me a massage, let's see how long you can keep up this act."

Seeing that Xia Bingyu had finally agreed, Li Yi said no more and took her directly to his private office.

The whole room was cleaned up yesterday.

Moreover, all the necessary supplies for massage are readily available.

"Sister Xia, you can sit here. However, some of the acupoints I'm going to massage later are on your waist and back, so you'll need to take off your coat."

Xia Bingyu wasn't afraid that Li Yi would actually dare to act like a hooligan towards her.

So, without saying a word, she simply lifted her coat and took it off.

"Will this work?"

Wow! As expected of a volleyball player, he even carries two 'volleyballs' with him.

Li Yi glanced at Xia Bingyu, who was only wearing a sports bra on her upper body, and quickly nodded.

"That's fine."

With everything ready, Li Yi first washed his hands, then quickly started scrubbing them.

He stopped when his hands felt warm.

"Sister Xia, I'll begin!"

"Wait a minute!" Xia Bingyu suddenly spoke up, "You brat, do you even know how to give a massage? You didn't even wear a condom?"

Li Yi was taken aback. "What kind of condom?"

Xia Bingyu rolled her eyes. "Duh! Of course, it's gloves! Are you just going to stick your bare hands in there?"

Hearing this, Li Yi was both amused and exasperated. "Sister Xia, traditional Chinese massage relies on stimulating acupoints and meridians to achieve its purpose, so direct contact with the skin is more effective."

In fact, unless there are special circumstances, it's best not to use any lubricant at all.

I never wear gloves when I give massages. You can ask Sister Wang if you don't believe me.

Wang Tao, who was standing nearby, nodded quickly, "That's right, when Xiao Li came over yesterday, he didn't wear a condom either."

With Wang Tao's corroboration, Xia Bingyu became somewhat skeptical.

"Fine, I won't wear it then. But I'm warning you, if you dare to take advantage of me on purpose, I'll slap you."

This woman has a large chest, but she's actually quite petty.

Li Yi nodded with a wry smile. "Sister Xia, don't worry. I have principles. In my eyes, there is no distinction between men and women when it comes to patients."

Seeing that Xia Bingyu had no objections this time, he began to take action.

The old injuries in the other person's body are not a big deal; they can be recovered with proper care. The most important thing right now is the arrhythmia caused by liver qi stagnation.

To solve this problem, we must help her regulate her internal organ functions.

This involves many acupoints.

So, Li Yi started with Xia Bingyu's feet, then her waist and back.

First wipe, then pinch, then push, then knead.

Only press it last!

Unlike the fair and smooth skin of Bai Ruxue, Xia Bingyu's skin is wheat-colored due to long-term exercise, and her skin and flesh are very firm all over her body.

It even feels hard to the touch.

Li Yi could only increase the intensity slightly.

I don't know if it's because my internal strength increased after the breakthrough in guiding skills.

As Li Yi massaged Xia Bingyu, he could almost feel the warmth in his palms seeping into her skin.

Xia Bingyu also felt the heat from Li Yi's palm, and immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

She gritted her teeth and endured it for a while, but her body grew hotter and hotter, and she finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Hey kid, didn't you want a massage? What are you doing touching me like that?"

"Ahem! Sister Xia, I'm just helping you relax your muscles and improve your blood circulation."

"Pah! I'm furious right now, I don't need you to activate it again. If you're going to press it, then press it now, or get lost!"

Li Yi was speechless upon hearing this.

However, we've done enough rubbing, pinching, pushing, and kneading.

Next, it's time to press it.

"Sister Xia, I'm going to press the acupoints now. If you feel any pain, just shout it out."

"Are you kidding? Do you think I'm afraid of pain? Use all your strength you have... um~"

Before Xia Bingyu could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her foot and instinctively let out a muffled groan.
