Qiao Ya's eyes widened, a mixture of disbelief and a glimmer of hope in them. She stared intently at Li Yi, trying to find confirmation in his eyes.
Her voice trembled slightly, tinged with an incredulous joy: "Brother Yi, can you really cure this birthmark for me? This... how is this possible?"
Li Yi nodded and said seriously, "Of course I'm serious!"
Qiao Ya: "But, Brother Yi, aren't you studying environmental science? You also know traditional Chinese medicine?"
Li Yi naturally wouldn't reveal that it was a skill enhanced by the system, but instead found a suitable reason: "I learned traditional Chinese medicine on my own. In fact, I have been interested in traditional Chinese medicine since I was a child, and I think it is very magical. So I taught myself classic works such as the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the Classic of Difficult Issues, the Treatise on Febrile Diseases, the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, the Treatise on Warm Diseases, the Clinical Guide to Medical Cases, and the Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold Pieces."
Qiao Ya was stunned when she saw Li Yi rattle off so many classic Chinese medicine texts in one breath.
She covered her mouth with her hand and said incredulously, "Wow! Senior, you're amazing! You've actually studied so many classic Chinese medicine texts on your own! I'm a student majoring in Chinese medicine, and I haven't even studied this much!"
Li Yi smiled and said, "So, do you believe me now?"
Qiao Ya: "Then why didn't you say you could cure it before?"
"Because I don't have a medical license, I took you to see other doctors first. If they could treat you, I wouldn't need to intervene. But unfortunately, they couldn't, so I had to come myself," Li Yi explained.
After speaking, Li Yi stood up straight, one hand in front and the other behind his back, exuding an imposing aura, just like a hermit master.
Qiao Ya's heart pounded. For twenty years, the birthmark on her face had been a source of deep sorrow for her, but now she finally saw hope.
"Brother Yi, then I'll leave it to you. How should it be treated?" Qiao Ya asked.
While traditional Chinese medicine could theoretically help remove the redness accumulated on her face, Li Yi certainly wouldn't make it that simple. He knew that things that are too easy and readily obtained are often not cherished. Moreover, he wanted to take this opportunity to have more physical contact with Qiao Ya to increase their favorability.
So Li Yi said, "Xiaoya, although I can treat your birthmark, it has been there for twenty years, so the treatment will be quite time-consuming, probably taking about a month. In addition to taking Chinese medicine, you will also need to have a full-body massage to thoroughly open up the blood vessels and clear the pigment transfer channels so that it can be completely removed."
"Huh? A massage? Do you want a full-body massage?" Qiao Ya asked in surprise.
Li Yi nodded: "Yes, a full-body massage. This will more effectively promote blood circulation and help eliminate pigments."
Qiao Ya blushed when she heard that she was going to get a full-body massage.
This meant that Li Yi would see her body and touch it repeatedly, which made her both shy and somewhat expectant.
Qiao Ya thought to herself, "Qiao Ya, how can you still have expectations? This is so wrong! How embarrassing!"
However, everyone has a love for beauty, and Qiao Ya is no exception.
She was unwilling to give up this opportunity that might allow her to get rid of her birthmark.
“Okay! I’ll do whatever you say, senior.” Qiao Ya made up her mind.
Qiao Ya's voice was soft but firm, and her eyes sparkled with longing for a beautiful future and a hint of shy anticipation.
Seeing this, Li Yi said softly, "Xiaoya, don't worry, I will respect your feelings very much and will ask for your consent at every step. Moreover, our treatment process will be carried out in a safe and comfortable environment to ensure that your privacy is protected to the greatest extent."
"Yes. Thank you, senior!" Qiao Ya nodded gently, her eyes full of trust and gratitude.
She knew this was a rare opportunity, and that if she missed it, she might never be able to remove the birthmark in her lifetime.
Actually, besides admiring Qiao Ya's perfect figure and having more physical contact, Li Yi had another idea when he suggested giving her a massage: to use the goddess to win over Jin.
The massage couldn't possibly take place in the dormitory; it had to be done in a hotel room so that the "Goddess Conquest Gold" could be used legitimately.
Li Yi thought that he could gain more after successfully modifying and winning over Qiao Ya.
He glanced at the time and realized it was already quite late; it was almost 6 p.m.
"Xiaoya, how about we go have dinner first?"
Qiao Ya: "Okay, I'll listen to what you say, senior."
Li Yi: "What do you want to eat? It's on me!"
Qiao Ya: "Senior, let me treat you. You've helped me so much, and you even paid for my medical expenses yesterday. How can I spend your money again?"
Li Yi: "As the ancients said, courtesy should be reciprocated. You treated me to lunch, so naturally I should treat you to dinner! So, what do you want to eat?"
Qiao Ya: "I'm fine with anything, senior, you can arrange it."
"Alright then, let me think about it." Although Li Yi was very poor before, things are very different now, and there are many delicacies he has yet to taste.
Considering that Qiao Ya was allergic to seafood, he ruled out seafood restaurants.
So we decided, "Let's go eat Western food then. I know a French restaurant that's pretty good. How about we go there tonight?"
Qiao Ya nodded: "Okay."
The two hailed a taxi and headed straight to the French restaurant located in the IFC mall.
The reason for choosing this place is that although Li Yi did not taste it himself, based on the positive reviews and word-of-mouth on the map, this restaurant is undoubtedly a top choice, although the price is quite high.
Upon entering the restaurant, Qiao Ya was instantly stunned by the sight before her.
Inside the restaurant, soft lighting illuminates the elegant tables, making the silver cutlery gleam. Each table is adorned with a small vase of fresh flowers, adding a touch of romance and warmth to the dining environment. Even more impressive is the restaurant's superb location, offering a 270-degree panoramic view of the river.
