97: Chapter 97: Take Off Your Clothes 97: Chapter 97: Take Off Your Clothes Zhao Ruxue took out her key to open the door. When she went inside, Ye Qiu saw that the floor was very clean, but the slippers by the door were all for women. “Should I take off my shoes?” “It doesn’t matter.” Because here, normally, only her younger sister came over; there were no other men at all, even her father had never been here. So there were no men’s slippers prepared. Ye Qiu took off his shoes and socks, and when he walked in barefoot, Zhao Ruxue glanced at him and her impression of Ye Qiu improved a bit. “Would you like water? Or tea? Or maybe a drink?” Zhao Ruxue usually bought drinks and put them in the refrigerator in the kitchen. Her younger sister often brought some alcohol. “Anything is fine.” Ye Qiu said. He looked around this apartment. It seemed slightly larger than his old place, with three bedrooms, one living room, a kitchen, and two bathrooms. However, it looked very new. The interior decoration wasn’t very luxurious, there was only a set of sofas, a few chairs, a dining table, and some household appliances. Zhao Ruxue took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator, put it on the coffee table next to Ye Qiu, and then went back to her bedroom to change out of her uniform. This uniform looked sharp and commanding on Zhao Ruxue, but she knew it was tight and uncomfortable. So every time she got off work, she would rush to change out of it. After she changed into her casual clothes, she saw Ye Qiu sitting there drinking the Coke. She turned on the TV, then looked at him and asked, “You get five million for treating one person, isn’t that lucrative?” “Not bad.” Previously, when he treated Li Qianqian at Jinling Hospital, he had Li Zhiguo help him with those hundreds of thousands. And when he treated Liu Lingshow, he naturally didn’t charge anything. Now, for treating Zhou Yuxia’s father, Zhou Bao, he was actually getting paid. Zhao Ruxue was surprised that five million was just “not bad” in Ye Qiu’s eyes. “How much are you going to charge for treating me? I’m just an ordinary police officer; I don’t have much money!” Zhao Ruxue said. Although she had a secure job and her monthly salary plus benefits were over ten thousand, after repaying her mortgage, there was only enough left to buy clothes and cover her living expenses. Given Zhao Ruxue’s position, she could easily and quickly make money if she wanted, but she refused to engage in illegal activities or corruption. When she heard that Ye Qiu charged five million for treating Zhou Bao, she wondered if he would charge her a hundred thousand. She didn’t have that kind of money. “How much do you think it’s worth?” “Hospital treatment should cost a few thousand, but hospitals don’t always cure it.” Actually, part of Zhao Ruxue’s salary was spent on treating this illness, and she didn’t dare use her medical insurance card for fear that people at the police station would find out. She had already spent tens of thousands on this illness. “Then I won’t charge you.” “Really? Why?” Zhao Ruxue asked. “Maybe there will be some trouble and I will need your help to resolve it.” Ye Qiu was naturally very clever. He was the best Imperial Physician at the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau, extremely intelligent, and after absorbing the consciousness of so many top students, he became even smarter. Now that he was getting involved with Boss Cai’s matters, he would definitely have encounters in the underworld. Moreover, he planned to use that five million to start a business, and getting a business license would certainly be troublesome without a familiar person to help. But if Zhao Ruxue helped, it would be different. “Trouble? What kind of trouble? If it’s too much trouble, I’d rather pay you. And don’t involve me in anything illegal; I won’t help with that.” Zhao Ruxue quickly thought of this issue. She did not want to owe anyone a favor. Ye Qiu smiled and said, “I haven’t even said what it is, how do you know what it is? And I would never ask you to do something beyond its worth.” Zhao Ruxue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. After Ye Qiu finished the Coke, he asked, “How do you want to treat it? There are slow, fast, and immediate ways to cure it.” “Slow or fast? Of course, it’s best to cure it immediately.” If the slowest method was used, it could be treated with Western medicine and Chinese medicine adjustments. If a faster method was needed, acupuncture could be used. However, I did not bring silver needles today. If you want an immediate cure, I can do it now. “Let me check your pulse and tongue first.” Zhao Ruxue extended her hand, and Ye Qiu saw that her wrist was very fair, but her palms were thick with calluses, indicating that her palms had undergone extensive training. When Ye Qiu stared at her hands for a moment, Zhao Ruxue said, “I practiced a lot in police school, hence the thick calluses. They haven’t gone away yet.” However, her arms, neck, and other exposed areas looked very fair. After checking the pulse on her left and right hands and inspecting her tongue, Ye Qiu said directly, “You experience abdominal cold pain either during or after your menstrual period, which reduces with warmth. Your menstrual flow is dull, scanty, and you have weak knees and lower back, along with frequent urination.” “How, how did you know?” These specific symptoms, Zhao Ruxue hadn’t yet told Ye Qiu. She was just about to explain when Ye Qiu already deduced them. “From your pulse and tongue. Your symptoms are classified as internal cold due to yang deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine. If you want to use herbal decoctions, I can prescribe something now. According to your situation, you should be fully adjusted in two months at the fastest.” “Two months? That’s too slow.” “What about acupuncture treatment?” “About a week. However, I don’t have time to give you acupuncture treatment every day for a week.” Ye Qiu certainly didn’t have time to come over every day for a week just to perform acupuncture on Zhao Ruxue. “Then what’s the fastest method you mentioned earlier?” Actually, when Ye Qiu described her period symptoms precisely, Zhao Ruxue began to believe in Ye Qiu’s medical skills. This was when she truly believed in his abilities. “You’ll understand in a moment after you close your eyes, but you might not be willing.” “Why wouldn’t I be willing?” Zhao Ruxue found it odd. After all, taking herbal decoctions for two months was too long, and they were very bitter. She knew this all too well from previous experience. Acupuncture would only take a week, which was fast, but she knew it involved removing clothes for the treatment. “You need to take off your clothes—your top and your pants.” Ye Qiu said. Zhao Ruxue didn’t expect that the fastest method would also require removing her clothes. However, seeing Ye Qiu’s serious demeanor, she hesitated.
