That Leng Shasha, she really overthinks things. But I can't bla her; I was the one who wasn't clear.
With that in mind, Liu Ergou perford a kip-up, sitting bolt upright. He grabbed his clothes and threw them on in a flash.
Seeing this, Leng Shasha asked in confusion, "Er Gou, there's still so ti before Qiu Shui arrives. Why are you getting up so early? Isn't it better to lie down a bit longer?"
Without looking up, Liu Ergou replied, "By the ti Sister Qiu Shui gets here, it'll be too late to get dressed!"
"You should hurry and put so clothes on too. You can't let Sister Qiu Shui see you like this!"
Leng Shasha obediently nodded.
She got out of bed, went to her wardrobe, and casually slipped on a loose nightgown.
"I'm dressed!"
With that, Leng Shasha left the bedroom and went downstairs to sit on the sofa.
Liu Ergou followed right behind her and sat down beside her.
They waited for about ten minutes before there was a knock on the villa's door.
Hearing the knock, Leng Shasha rushed to the door and pulled it open.
Zhu Qiushui then hurried inside.
As soon as she entered, Zhu Qiushui asked eagerly, "Er Gou, you really agreed to treat ?"
Liu Ergou nodded.
"Of course. Why would I joke about sothing like this?"
Hearing Liu Ergou agree to treat her, Zhu Qiushui's face imdiately lit up with joy.
"That's wonderful!"
With that, Zhu Qiushui quickly approached Liu Ergou and extended her arm.
"Er Gou, please check my pulse! I'm ready!"
Looking at Zhu Qiushui's snow-white arm, Liu Ergou didn't reach out to take her pulse. Instead, he suddenly asked, "Sister Qiu Shui, do you rember what I told you last ti?"
This abrupt question caught Zhu Qiushui off guard.
"Ah? What?"
"Your illness is an atrophy of the ridians throughout your body, which ans it affects your entire body!"
"Tell , do you think just taking your pulse will be accurate enough?"
Liu Ergou's words left Zhu Qiushui frozen in place, unsure of what to do.
After a long mont, Zhu Qiushui cautiously asked, "Er Gou, then… what should I do?"
"I'm completely clueless about this. Asking is pointless!"
"Just tell what to do. I'll do whatever you say. I'll listen to you completely, as long as you can cure my illness. I'm willing to do anything!"
Upon hearing this, a faint, almost imperceptible smile touched the corners of Liu Ergou's mouth.
This was exactly what I was waiting for her to say. With her approval, my plan will be much easier to carry out.
With that thought, Liu Ergou said, "Since you trust so much, Sister Qiu Shui, I won't beat around the bush. I'll get straight to the point."
"As I said, you have atrophy of the ridians throughout your entire body! Because of that, just taking your pulse won't reveal anything!"
"There's only one way to diagnose you: you have to take off all your clothes so I can closely examine the ridians all over your body. Only then can I determine the exact nature of your condition!"
As soon as these words were out, Zhu Qiushui stood rooted to the spot.
She had expected Liu Ergou's treatnt thod to be unconventional, but even wracking her brain, she never would have imagined that it would involve her taking off all her clothes.
Instantly, Zhu Qiushui's face turned crimson, and her gaze beca evasive.
Seeing Zhu Qiushui's reaction, Leng Shasha, who was standing to the side, imdiately understood that her dear sister didn't quite trust Liu Ergou.
With that in mind, Leng Shasha's eyes flickered, and she imdiately began to speak up for him.
"Qiu Shui, stop overthinking things," she said.
"I know exactly what's going on in that little head of yours, so just relax!"
"We all know what kind of person Er Gou is!"
"Since you're letting him treat you, you should trust him unconditionally!"
Hearing Leng Shasha's words, Liu Ergou couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Now that Leng Shasha is my woman, she's finally stopped being a thorn in my side. This is truly worth celebrating. In the past, she would never have spoken up for like this. I'd be lucky if she didn't kick while I was down.
However, even with Leng Shasha's encouragent, Zhu Qiushui didn't agree right away, her brow remaining tightly furrowed.
At this mont, Zhu Qiushui was both sullen and conflicted. She had personally seen what her family mbers looked like when their illness flared up. Not even forty years old, yet they were paralyzed in bed, finding it difficult to even move a finger, barely surviving with the help of caregivers. But to strip completely naked in front of a man... it was just too embarrassing.
Seeing Zhu Qiushui like this, Liu Ergou and Leng Shasha didn't press her. They simply sat by and waited patiently, knowing that rushing her would be pointless.
Zhu Qiushui pondered for a good ten minutes before she finally made up her mind. Lifting her head, she looked at Liu Ergou with a determined gaze and said softly, "I... I trust Er Gou! Sha Sha is right. I shouldn't be overthinking this."
After hearing Zhu Qiushui agree, Leng Shasha and Liu Ergou exchanged a glance, each revealing a aningful smile.
Then, Liu Ergou gave an order.
"Sister Sha Sha, I need your help with sothing."
"I'm going to give you two prescriptions. Please go to the pharmacy and get them filled for . They're to temporarily stabilize Sister Qiu Shui's condition!"
As he spoke, Liu Ergou grabbed a pen and paper from the coffee table, deftly wrote out two prescriptions, and handed them to Leng Shasha.
Leng Shasha took the prescriptions without hesitation, quickly changed her clothes, and set out to fetch the dicine.
However, just before she left, Leng Shasha suddenly flashed a mischievous smile at Liu Ergou, then departed.
Seeing Leng Shasha's mischievous smile, Liu Ergou couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
That Leng Shasha... she's really a handful.
He then turned to Zhu Qiushui and said, "Alright, Sister Qiu Shui, don't be shy. It's just the two of us in the villa now. Go ahead and take off your clothes. I need to see what's going on before I can determine the course of treatnt."
Hearing Liu Ergou's words, Zhu Qiushui, though ntally prepared, still felt a little bashful. After all, she was about to strip naked in front of a man.
Seeing Zhu Qiushui's bashfulness, Liu Ergou didn't rush her, simply sitting by and waiting quietly.
