Time passed just like that for ten minutes. Xu Wanqing was already drenched in fragrant sweat, with every second being a torment for her. Yet, there was an indescribable feeling of comfort and pleasure. She felt her lower abdomen growing increasingly warm, her face turning crimson, as if she were drunk.
Xu Xiangbei also felt he was about to lose control. He’s a vigorous man, far from a gentleman, and the allure with its half-revealed charms was driving him crazy, experiencing both pain and pleasure. That’s how he felt.
"Mm..." Finally, Xu Wanqing let out a soft moan, then she suddenly realized something, burying her head in the sofa out of embarrassment, her face so red she couldn’t show it.
Xu Xiangbei felt he was about to lose it as well. Smiling, he said, "You know this is tempting me to commit a crime, right?"
"No... no I’m not..." Xu Wanqing’s voice was as soft as a mosquito, stammering for a long time before she could get the words out. She felt so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole in the sofa to hide in.
"Alright, calm your mind, I’m taking the needle out..." Xu Xiangbei used both hands, quickly withdrawing the silver needles from Xu Wanqing’s back while continuously transporting his Inner Strength.
"Oh..." Xu Wanqing felt a sense of extreme comfort all over her body, as if becoming much lighter and younger, akin to a girl of fifteen or sixteen, as waves of almost visible, yin-cold vapor escaped from her body.
It took her a long time to recover her senses.
"Aren’t you going to remove your hand?" Xu Wanqing extended her fair, jade-like hand to swat away the hand on her waist, then jumped up from the sofa with a reddened face, throwing on her coat.
The entire time she was putting on her coat, Xu Xiangbei’s eyes remained glued to her without blinking.
"If you keep looking... if you keep looking... I’ll gouge out your eyes!" Clad in her coat, Xu Wanqing glared at Xu Xiangbei, especially after noticing his wolfish eyes, making her feel as though she wasn’t wearing any clothes.
"Wow, so quick to get rid of the donkey after the grinding is done, burning the bridge after crossing it!" Xu Xiangbei pretended to be sulky.
"Ugh..." Xu Wanqing found herself speechless, wanting to retort but finding no words, her expression showing a hint of melancholy, as if lamenting her fate.
Finally, with a blank expression, she said, "If you want to look, then look. Ultimately, my entire self is yours. Rest assured, I, Xu Wanqing, will not go back on my promises. I say what I mean, no regrets!" But the sadness in her tone could not be concealed from Xu Xiangbei.
"I was really just joking, I won’t force you. Although, if you happen to like me and want to offer yourself, that’s another story. Given my charm and talent, that day isn’t far off! I, Xu Xiangbei, am unsurpassed for thousands of years! Who can rival me?" Xu Xiangbei grinned shamelessly.
"When it comes to shamelessness, that’s true. I don’t know about the future, but as far as historical records show, I haven’t found anyone more shameless than you!" Xu Wanqing’s mood slightly eased up by Xu Xiangbei’s diversion.
"Your illness, it still needs treatment. I haven’t completely eradicated it, only alleviated most of it. Remember not to catch a cold in the future!" Xu Xiangbei seriously instructed.
"Do you mean my illness is almost cured?" Xu Wanqing moved forward to grasp Xu Xiangbei’s hand, her face excited, breaking into a radiant smile that made everything around bloom.
"Of course, do you know who I am? Smile more often, don’t always be like an iceberg. See how beautiful you look when you smile!"
Raising his hand, he was about to touch Xu Wanqing’s face, but she swiftly stepped back, avoiding him.
Just then, he noticed his phone beep, and upon checking, it was a message from Hu Qingyu, urging him to meet Wei Bang soon, as Wei Bang had been waiting impatiently.
"I’m afraid I won’t have time today. How about this, come to Jiangcheng First People’s Hospital tomorrow to see me. I’ll prescribe some more medicine for you; take it regularly, and you’ll be fine!"
"Do you have other plans?" Xu Wanqing asked with a laugh. Although she thought Xu Xiangbei could be a bit roguish at times, she genuinely appreciated him for treating her.
Xu Xiangbei pointed at himself, smiling, "I’m a very busy person!"
Xu Wanqing shot him a glance, "Busy running around seeing girlfriends? Miss Hu outside must be running out of patience. Don’t you worry she’s going to leave you for being so greedy?"
"Oh, she’s just one of my potential future wives, still under consideration," Xu Xiangbei said with a straight face.
"Besides, you know my charm, don’t you? She’d never leave me. Sometimes being too outstanding is problematic. I can’t help it if so many beauties fancy me. What else can I do? I can only marry them all!" When he said this, his expression was over the top, as if lamenting the unfairness of fate.
Xu Wanqing, seeing his pompous expression, really wanted to slap him and ask, Why don’t you just go die?
"Here’s my business card. Call me tomorrow, alright?" he said as he left his card on Xu Wanqing’s red wooden desk and swiftly planted a kiss on her cheek.
Then he dashed out, leaving a parting shot:
"I’m just collecting today’s treatment interest in advance!"
It took Xu Wanqing a while to regain her composure. Holding her face, glancing at the office door, her face tinged with an unnatural blush, she stamped her foot but didn’t pursue him...
At that moment, Hu Qingyu was sitting in the reception area outside, with an empty coffee cup in front of her, looking anxious.
Wei Bang had called her earlier, urging her to get there soon, implying she might have found some random boyfriend to pose as one since the original appointment was in the morning, and they were now nearing noon.
Damn it, why did Xu Xiangbei take so long? He and Miss Xu Wanqing had barely just met, and yet...
Her eyes kept darting toward the office door several times, tempted to knock but held back.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei hurry out, she quickly went up to him.
"What took you so long discussing?" Hu Qingyu’s little face bore a hint of curiosity and she asked suspiciously.
Xu Xiangbei’s face lit up with a wicked smile, "You’re really starting to resemble my girlfriend. Not bad, not bad, quite a sense of crisis! Do you really want to know?"
Hu Qingyu admitted to herself that her curiosity was too strong, pouting, "Say it if you want, who cares!"
"Actually, we were undertaking a great cause in there!" He emphasized the words ’great cause’, heightening Hu Qingyu’s curiosity even further.
"What kind of cause?"
"Contributing to the reproduction and continuation of humanity!" Xu Xiangbei said with a serious face.
Upon hearing this, Hu Qingyu’s face immediately flushed.
"Don’t talk nonsense and defame Miss Xu’s innocence! How could she possibly do that with you..." She couldn’t finish her sentence.
"Do what?" Xu Xiangbei grinned, drawing his handsome face close to Hu Qingyu, barely half an inch from her nose, their eyes meeting.
Hu Qingyu pushed him away, scolding, "Shameless!"
"The ancients say appetite for food and sex is human nature, and many medical books also mention the union of Yin and Yang as the natural order of heaven and earth, an essential way to nurture life, you know?" Xu Xiangbei continued to lecture seriously.
"Can humanity reproduce without it? Can life exist without it? Such a noble and towering cause, yet so beneath your notice. This is a matter of character and level. When will you rise to my level of broad-mindedness and polished view, instead of being so vulgar?" Xu Xiangbei, feigning the part of an enlightened monk, lamented her lack of understanding.
Then he shifted his tone, continuing to lament, "Oh, even an educated person like you can be so shallow. Imagine the state of today’s society..." He acted as if he were deeply worried for the world.
Hu Qingyu couldn’t bear to witness his shameless demeanor anymore and didn’t want to bicker with him over the topic.
"Would Miss Xu ever like you? The sun would have to rise in the west first!"
"Why wouldn’t she like me? I’m strikingly handsome, dashing, both literate and martial, intelligent and brave, admired by all. How could she not like me! She just confessed to me in the office, saying she was infatuated with me at first sight, deeply drawn at the second. From now on, no other man could take her eye. Why am I so outstanding!"
Hu Qingyu had no words to counter Xu Xiangbei. This kind of conceit was far beyond her reach.
