While Xia Xiaoyu was still hesitating, Tangyu had already swiftly closed the windows of the Linshan Middle School infirmary, drawn the curtains, and even locked the door from the inside.
Having done all this, Tangyu noticed that Xia Xiaoyu was still standing there, dumbfounded, her hands interlocked as if wrestling with a difficult decision.
When Xia Xiaoyu noticed everything Tangyu had done, the vigilance that had faded came back unconsciously. It was broad daylight, and he had shut the door and windows so tightly—what was he up to?
It was already embarrassing enough to take off her jacket in front of a boy, wasn't it?
"Forget it, Doctor, I won't get treated today, I'll come back another day, I still have to attend class," Xia Xiaoyu said, finally entertaining the thought of leaving. What if the school doctor really did something to her, wouldn't her innocence be ruined?
How could Tangyu stand by and watch his opportunity slip away?
Tangyu said, "Classmate, you're not still doubting my intentions, are you? You can doubt me, but you should never doubt my professional ethics. To my eyes, you're just a normal patient. I shut the door and windows not with any other intent but to protect your privacy and prevent others from peeking. You're not going to question my profession over this, are you?"
Xia Xiaoyu immediately shook her head, "It's not like that, Doctor. I don't mean any suspicion. It's just—I'm a little scared, I don't want to be treated today." However, hearing Tangyu's explanation did somewhat ease Xia Xiaoyu's caution.
Seeing Xia Xiaoyu's resolve begin to waver, Tangyu pressed further, "Classmate, there's absolutely no need to be afraid. I assure you, it won't hurt at all and won't take much time either, at most a quarter of an hour. This is a chronic condition that has built up; if you don't eradicate it early, it will lead to endless troubles."
"Think about it, you have less than a year until the college entrance examination. If your condition gets worse and you catch a cold every few days, won't that seriously affect your studies? And even if we don't consider the impact on your studies, think about the pain you have to endure often, that must be hard for you, right?"
"Even if you can bear the pain, have you considered the severe consequences of irregular menstruation? Perhaps you're not very familiar with this area of knowledge, but let me tell you responsibly that the consequences can be quite serious. At the lighter end, you could suffer from frequent painful menstruation, and at the worst, it could affect fertility, even to the point of causing infertility—that could affect you for your entire life."
Xia Xiaoyu's cheeks flushed with heat; menstrual pain, infertility—these issues felt far too premature for her to concern herself with. Nonetheless, Tangyu's words had scared her.
"Really, is it that terrible?" Xia Xiaoyu asked with a reluctant heart.
Tangyu nodded, "Of course, you have no reason to doubt. Big illnesses often stem from untreated minor ones. It's always best to detect and treat them as early as possible."
"Well—okay then," Xia Xiaoyu bit her red lips and finally nodded in agreement.
Xia Xiaoyu entered the inner part of the infirmary and pulled the curtain close. But just as she did, she found the curtain being pulled open again, and Tangyu walked in. Xia Xiaoyu looked at Tangyu and then said, "Doctor, could you please step outside for a moment?"
Tangyu replied casually, "Oh, it's fine, go ahead and do your thing, I won't disturb you."
With a blush still present on her face, Xia Xiaoyu said, "Doctor, please, go outside. It's really embarrassing with you standing here. Once I'm ready, I'll call you back in."
"Oh, like that? Since you mind, then fine." Tangyu walked out and closed the curtain properly. Xia Xiaoyu finally let out a sigh of relief at Tangyu's action, realizing it was her own overthinking.
Standing behind the curtain, Tangyu smirked, wishing at that moment that he had x-ray vision. In Tangyu's mind, an R-rated scene had already unwittingly taken shape.
It seemed that choosing to come to Linshan Middle School as a part-time school doctor had been a wise decision. On his first day on the job, he was getting to treat one of Linshan Middle School's acknowledged top three beauties, Xia Xiaoyu, and even catch a glimpse of her—just thinking about it was overwhelmingly delightful.
Tangyu was considering whether he should increase his scheduled Mondays to more days at work. However, he quickly dismissed the idea; a small Linshan Middle School couldn't possibly contain him.
"Doctor, I'm ready. You can come in now." After a while, Xia Xiaoyu's delicate voice came through.
Tangyu composed his expression before pulling aside the curtain and walking in; his gaze had already fallen on the bed, where the sight of Xia Xiaoyu's snow-white and curvaceous body almost drew twin streams of blood to surge out of his nose. Such a beautiful sight was beyond any description.
Tangyu quickly walked to the bedside. Xia Xiaoyu was lying on the bed, her entire face buried in it and her hands covering. This pose conveniently shielded everything that should be shielded, which Tangyu found somewhat regrettable.
Tangyu's gaze lingered on Xia Xiaoyu's back, which was as white as fresh milk, and she was even emitting a faint, rare scent comparable to a woman's natural fragrance. This discovery sent another wave of turmoil through Tangyu's mind.
Tangyu swallowed silently before he seriously said, "Classmate, this won't do."
"Ah— Do I need to do that too?" Xia Xiaoyu's voice was as quiet as a mosquito.
Tangyu replied, "Of course, because I'm using my family's unique 'Ten-Finger Secret Dragon Massage Technique,' which can push all the stagnation out of your body through your acupoints and meridians. With this strap in the way, we can't get the meridian flow going properly. So, yes, it's necessary."
"That—Doctor, is it possible to not do it?" Xia Xiaoyu hesitated. She was just barely managing with the current situation, but anything more—Xia Xiaoyu suddenly felt disconcerted. Up until now, she hadn't even let a boy touch her hand; this purity, was it going to be compromised today?
"Of course not, rest assured, classmate. You have to trust my professional ethics. Besides, with your current posture, even if you were to undress, I won't be able to see anything, so why worry? Or let me do it for you, it's not very convenient for you in this position," Tangyu said, his eyes gleaming.
After hesitating for quite a while, Xia Xiaoyu made up her mind, "Then—alright, Doctor. Please, could you help me with it?"
"Sure," Tangyu nodded.
Xia Xiaoyu's body trembled slightly when Tangyu touched her.
After all, this was the first time for both of them. How pure, so pure!
