"Calm down. One at a ti."
Jiang Xinghai had no idea what had happened between the three won. He walked over with a smile.
Just as Shen Lingxue was about to go greet him, Feng Lulu beat her to it, rushing forward first.
She skipped over and linked her arm with Jiang Xinghai's, leaning against him affectionately. "Brother Xinghai, the acupuncture and massage you gave my aunt last night had amazing results! You really are a Divine Doctor. I want it too."
"Er... The results were that significant?"
Jiang Xinghai hadn't expected Feng Lulu to be so direct. He glanced awkwardly at the shy Lin Liping.
'Just as I thought!'
'It seems Lin Liping's body responded exceptionally well. The effects were better than I could have imagined. She's changed so much!'
He suddenly caught Shen Lingxue's knowing gaze and quickly offered a smile.
"Brother Xinghai, you're not going to go back on your word, are you?"
Feng Lulu pinched his side. "You promised yourself yesterday! You're breaking your word! I'm ignoring you now."
"Of course I won't go back on my word," Jiang Xinghai said with so reservation. "It's just... you're still a young lady. I don't think it would be appropriate."
"Tch!"
But Feng Lulu just scoffed. "Didn't you say that doctors don't distinguish between n and won when saving lives? And my aunt is a young woman, too. How co you didn't feel it was inappropriate last night?"
"I only found out after the fact," Jiang Xinghai blurted out.
'He suddenly realized how bad that sounded. The phrase definitely had *that* kind of implication.'
'Of course.'
Feng Lulu might not have caught on, but Shen Lingxue was a woman of the world. She understood the implication imdiately.
Lin Liping, too, was flushed with embarrassnt.
"Are you saying that after you finished her acupuncture and massage, my aunt told you she was still a maiden?" Feng Lulu asked, only half-understanding.
"That's right."
Jiang Xinghai smiled in relief.
The embarrassnt on Lin Liping's face gradually dissipated.
'That explanation was perfectly reasonable.'
"Jiang Xinghai, why didn't you ask Miss Lin beforehand?" Shen Lingxue walked over, giving him a reproachful look. "After what you've done, how is she ever going to find a boyfriend?"
"You're right, President Shen," Jiang Xinghai pledged with a solemn expression. "From now on, when I'm treating patients, I'll try to avoid treating won to stay out of trouble."
"No!"
However, Shen Lingxue, Feng Lulu, and Lin Liping all shouted in unison.
"So what are you three saying?" Jiang Xinghai asked with a wry smile.
"Divine Doctor Jiang," Lin Liping said earnestly, "it's just as you said before. A doctor makes no distinction between n and won when treating patients. That's been a universally accepted principle since ancient tis. It's perfectly reasonable. You shouldn't stop treating us won just because of this."
"Exactly!" Feng Lulu added.
Shen Lingxue nodded as well. "Miss Lin is right. Besides, your dical skills are incredible. It would be far too old-fashioned of you to let your mindset be affected just because you're treating won."
"That's also true."
Jiang Xinghai clasped his hands behind his back and began to pace with a grave expression. "However, from now on, I'll have to refuse any cases that involve... intimate physical contact. That way, I won't be condemned by society."
"No!"
But once again, the three won shouted in unison.
"Brother Xinghai, if you make that decision, then what about my flat chest? Is it a lost cause?" Feng Lulu pouted.
Lin Liping added with a complicated expression, "Exactly. I've only had one day of treatnt. We can't just stop halfway, can we?"
"Actually, I have a condition called 'uterine cold' that I was hoping Divine Doctor Jiang could treat," Shen Lingxue said, hatching a little plan of her own. "So you should just treat everyone regardless of gender. No one is going to talk behind your back."
"If you all insist, then I suppose I have no choice," Jiang Xinghai said, looking as if he were being forced into it.
Hearing this, the three won broke into a smile in unison.
"Oh, right, it's getting late. I have to go back and open up. Jishan Hall has been around for so many years; it's always open, rain or shine," Lin Liping said, getting up to leave.
"That's right, it's almost noon. I should get back to taking designated driver jobs and earn so money."
Feng Lulu imdiately added, "Brother Xinghai, when should we schedule an appointnt? I don't want to wait too long."
"There's no rush. We'll set a ti later," Jiang Xinghai said with a smile.
Shen Lingxue suddenly had an idea. "Actually, you could do it right now. We have so many empty rooms in the house. Should I get one ready for you?"
