Chapter 15 Unrestrained Sexual Activity
Ruan Yi and the old Chinese medicine doctor in front of him stared at each other.
She deliberately avoided seeing the family's private doctor, otherwise her mother would immediately know about her health condition and make a big fuss even if there was nothing wrong.
Gu Zhi knew she needed to see a doctor, but he insisted on coming along, and it took him a long time to finally get him to stay home obediently.
The traditional Chinese medicine doctor was recommended by Lin Han. He is a well-known TCM doctor in City A who is difficult to book an appointment with. He is said to have rich clinical experience and superb medical skills.
His rough hand covered her wrist, three fingers lightly touching the cun and chi points. The girl's bluish-purple veins were faintly visible. He pressed and felt the pulse rise and fall steadily.
While taking Ruan Yi's pulse, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor asked her some basic questions, which Ruan Yi answered truthfully.
"You have a pulse in all three positions, and the rhythm is even, but the pulse in the cun position is slightly deep, yet you have a rosy complexion and are full of energy. That's strange."
“Ms. Ruan, please don’t lie to the doctor. You said you’ve never had sex and never stay up late? You clearly have plenty of blood and energy, yet you also have mild kidney deficiency.”
The old Chinese medicine doctor sounded somewhat helpless, as if he was used to patients not telling the truth.
"I...I didn't lie, I really didn't!" Ruan Yi blushed slightly at the doctor's tone.
But she was telling the truth. Her mother and brother didn't come with her, so why would she lie?
"Kidney deficiency is usually accompanied by qi and blood deficiency, but you are full of energy, have a loud voice, and clear eyes. Your qi and blood are not deficient, but rather very abundant."
Ruan Yi was quite happy to hear this. She was indeed quite energetic; otherwise, how could she rack her brains every day to deal with those strange male protagonists?
But the old Chinese medicine doctor's next words made her proud smile crumble.
"The cause of this situation is quite obvious. Ms. Ruan, you do not have congenital kidney deficiency, so it must be caused by long-term unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as excessive fatigue and staying up late due to unrestrained sexual activity, especially in terms of sexual activity. Are you sure you are not lying?"
Ruan Yi blushed even more. Although she occasionally watched movies... it shouldn't count, right?
Besides, it's been quite a while since she was reborn, and she hasn't seen it at all.
They're always busy guarding against perverts or trying to catch out lawless madmen; they have no time for self-entertainment!
"As for the memory decline and confusion you mentioned, we need to continue to observe. Your kidney deficiency is not enough to cause memory confusion."
The old Chinese medicine doctor removed his hand from Ruan Yi's wrist.
"In terms of memory, it is more likely to be caused by environmental and psychological factors than by physiological reasons."
This doctor is completely unreliable!
They only questioned her private life, but didn't get a definite answer to the questions they wanted answered.
Ruan Yi went to the counter to pay and got a prescription for a set of medicine from the unreliable traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
Since we're already here, how can we not take something back with us? After all, it was my best friend who pulled some strings to find me this doctor.
The old Chinese medicine doctor said that there wasn't a big problem with his health; he just needed to be moderate in that area and take some supplements to recover quickly.
The problem is that she doesn't engage in any kind of exercise, so how can she control herself?
He angrily carried the packaged medicine box home, but after the examination, he felt even more confused.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Gu Zhi sitting on the sofa waiting for her, holding some kind of book in his hands, which was very thick.
He looked up at Ruan Yi, his eyes bright, and deftly put the book in his hand into the bookcase next to the table.
"Sister, how is she?" Gu Zhi took the medicine box from her hand as soon as she sat down.
"The doctor Lin Han recommended is completely unreliable!" Ruan Yi said angrily.
Gu Zhi smiled and said, "Why did you buy all this medicine? Sister, don't be angry. Tell me what the doctor said."
As he spoke, he reached out and gently smoothed the girl's slightly messy hair, as if he were stroking the fur of a cat with its fur standing on end.
Ruan Yi felt a little ashamed. The diagnosis was a bit difficult to talk about, but then she thought about it again and realized that it was clearly the doctor who made a mistake!
"It makes me so angry! That old Chinese medicine doctor actually said I was too sexually active! That's utter nonsense! I don't even have that kind of sex life, so how could I be sexually active!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person beside him froze, as if he had been frozen in place. Only his Adam's apple continued to move, his knuckles holding the box slowly turned white, and his ear tips blushed at a visible speed.
"Only this much and you're already..."
"If she gets serious, how will she be able to handle it later?"
"Isn't that unreliable! He even thinks I'm lying. I should have brought you along so you could be my witness! If it weren't for Lin Han, I wouldn't have bought these medicines."
Ruan Yi spoke rapidly, but after a while, no one around her agreed.
"Ah Zhi, what are you daydreaming about?" Ruan Yi frowned and patted his hand holding the medicine box.
"I wasn't spacing out. I took a look, and these are some tonics to boost your energy. Drink them before dinner; they'll be good for your health."
Ruan Yi: Is he a shill for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital?
For some reason, Ruan Yi was a little unhappy; it was the first time her younger brother hadn't sided with her.
Gu Zhi's attention had never left her, so he naturally noticed the girl's unusual mood immediately.
"Sister, it must be the doctor's fault. Even the best doctors can make mistakes in their diagnoses."
Gu Zhi sat closer, deliberately lowering his voice, his tone so soft it was like coaxing a child, so alluring it made one dizzy.
"Don't be angry. Besides, don't you always have many dreams and can't sleep well? I checked, this medicine has a calming effect and can help you get a good night's sleep."
Ruan Yi was persuaded by the coaxing tone and nodded subconsciously.
Is this younger brother her tapeworm? Perhaps she doesn't remember, but she once casually mentioned that she loves to dream.
At the corner where the living room meets the study, an inverted triangular shadow is cast on the floor. The man leans lazily against the door frame, his fingers hovering above the clock face, making a soft, rhythmic tapping sound.
He heard all their whispered conversation. He stared at the girl's back, his eyes surging with an insatiable lust for her.
"Her health is the most important thing... Let's fatten her up first before we feed her properly."
Tonight, Ruan Yi seemed to be sleeping exceptionally well.
That will make some people feel bad.
Because for every Ruan Yi who sleeps soundly in the world, there are two more hardworking but pitiful craftsmen.
The addictive obsession seeped into his very bones, a burning sensation slowly creeping from his heart down his spine to his lower abdomen, every pore oozing a scalding desire.
Having tasted the sweetness, the senses have become insatiable, and the intense withdrawal reaction transforms into an extreme craving.
After a long while, his movements suddenly froze, but the desire in his eyes remained unfulfilled.
