Chapter 204 Ridicule
Xiao Han nodded: "Yes, I want to hear it."
Although he couldn't understand the medical knowledge, he still wanted to hear Chu Qing talk to him, and she looked especially beautiful when she was serious.
Long Chuqing handed him the calligraphy brush: "Here, I will read it, and you write it."
Hearing this, Xiao Han shook his head slightly in a helpless manner.
"Okay." He took the brush from Long Chuqing's hand, but the corners of his mouth under the mask couldn't help but turn up slightly.
After writing out the prescription and removing the needles from Cheng Chuan, Long Chuqing handed the prescription and the recipe she had written earlier to Madam Cheng, and patiently explained some precautions.
After finishing all this, Long Chuqing packed up her belongings and bid them farewell. "Madam, Second Young Master, Young Madam, we'll be heading back now."
Sitting on the bed, Cheng Chuan quickly said, "Thank you for your help today, Miss Long. It's just a pity that I haven't fully recovered yet and have difficulty moving around, so I can't get up to see you off. I hope you won't mind."
Long Chuqing smiled and said, "Second Young Master, you are too kind. You should just rest well. There's no need to be so polite."
Seeing this, Madam Cheng stepped forward, gracefully gesturing for them to enter, a faint smile on her face: "Let me see you off, please..."
Long Chuqing and Xiao Han followed Madam Cheng out of the room. Cheng Chuan, who had been sitting on the bed, stared intently at Long Chuqing's figure as it disappeared into the distance.
Recalling the focused and attentive look on Long Chuqing's face as she treated him, and then thinking of her calm and composed demeanor while talking to her mother, he realized that she was a very serious person.
He couldn't see a trace of the shyness and coyness that ordinary young ladies in Long Chuqing possessed.
On the contrary, her words when communicating with others and the smiles she inadvertently revealed were all poised and generous, radiating confidence and composure from the inside out.
She is a woman, and so beautiful, yet she never chose to rely on others. Instead, she shone brightly in her favorite field through her own efforts.
This thought greatly encouraged him, and he secretly resolved to strive for his ideals and ambitions.
The most urgent task at present is to take good care of this frail body.
His gaze involuntarily fell on the book placed on the bedside table. He slowly reached out, picked it up, and flipped to where he had left off to continue reading.
As Long Chuqing and Xiao Han walked to the gate of the mansion, Qing Tong, who was waiting in the distance, saw them and drove his carriage to their side. "Your Highness, Miss Long..."
Subsequently, Xiao Han and Long Chuqing boarded the carriage one after the other.
Ever since leaving the Cheng residence, Xiao Han has had a question lingering in his mind.
His eyes remained fixed on Long Chuqing, who sat opposite him. He wanted to speak several times, but then felt too embarrassed to ask.
His hesitant expression was noticed by Long Chuqing, who was sitting opposite him. She couldn't help but ask, "You look like you want to say something but are holding back. Just ask what's on your mind!"
"Chu Qing... um." Xiao Han asked in a slightly puzzled and somewhat embarrassed tone, "It's just that I saw you performing acupuncture on that second young master through his clothes, but why do I have to take off my clothes every time I perform acupuncture?"
After speaking, Xiao Han carefully observed Long Chuqing's expression, seemingly hoping to get a reasonable explanation.
Long Chuqing was momentarily stunned by his question, but quickly came to her senses.
He chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "I never expected this guy to be agonizing over this issue."
Seeing Xiao Han's serious expression, she suddenly had a mischievous idea and decided to tease him.
"Cough cough..." Long Chuqing cleared her throat by putting her hand to her mouth, then looked at Xiao Han and said with a hint of teasing, "Well... think about it, that second young master has been suffering from toxins for many years, his physical condition is extremely poor, his nutrition is unbalanced, and his figure is very thin. There's nothing to look at with a figure like his."
At this point, a sly smile flashed in her eyes, and she continued with a half-smile, "But you're different. Your figure is better than his, with smooth lines and firm abs. Why not take a look!"
As soon as Long Chuqing finished speaking, Xiao Han's face flushed red. He had never expected Chuqing to give such an unexpected answer.
For a moment, Xiao Han felt his mind go blank. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond.
He could clearly feel the burning heat on his cheeks, as if a fire was burning inside.
He slowly lowered his eyes, thinking to himself that he shouldn't have asked this question after being teased by Chu Qing like that just yesterday.
Although he was secretly pleased when Chu Qing complimented his physique, he was now embarrassed to have her see him blushing so deeply.
Although they were inside the carriage and the light was not particularly bright, Long Chuqing still saw Xiao Han's face flush red instantly.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Long Chuqing couldn't help but secretly cover her mouth and chuckle.
After a short while, Long Chuqing said, "Alright, I was just kidding! I was just joking with you."
She explained, "First of all, this second young master has just gotten married, and his new wife was standing by watching! Under these circumstances, it would be really inappropriate for him to take off his clothes in front of a strange woman."
"Although I am a doctor, I am still a woman. According to those people with deeply ingrained traditional ideas, it is unheard of for an unmarried woman like me to show her face in public and treat others."
"If I were to witness a strange man naked, that would be an unprecedented event. Even if I didn't mind, his new wife might not."
Long Chuqing continued to explain earnestly, “Secondly, it’s important to note that although acupuncture can be performed through clothing, this increases the risk of infection. So, if possible, it’s best to expose the acupuncture site during the procedure.”
Then she added, "One more thing, the number of acupuncture points I selected for him was far less than the number I used for you. Most of the acupuncture points you need are on your upper body. Haven't you noticed that you're almost covered in needles every time?"
“How about this!” Long Chuqing paused slightly before continuing, “If you really mind having to take off your clothes every time, then next time I can do it for you through your clothes.”
After hearing Long Chuqing's explanation, the blush on Xiao Han's face faded, and he touched his nose with a slightly embarrassed expression.
