Inside the room, Lin Xixin fussed for a while before she finally tired out.
Knowing that Luo Yang insisted on giving her acupuncture, she gasped, "If it hurts a lot, I'll hold you accountable!"
Luo Yang chuckled, "Sister Lin, rest assured. You'll know once I insert the first needle."
Seeing the fear in her eyes, Luo Yang advised again, "Quick, close your eyes, take a deep breath, then breathe slowly."
Lin Xixin had no choice but to close her eyes and take a deep breath.
At that moment, Luo Yang saw her chest heaving greatly and felt the warmth enveloping her body.
Women are naturally timid.
The acupuncture needle is thin and long, enough to daunt not just women, but men as well.
Moreover, Lin Xixin had only heard about Luo Yang's medical skills from Tan Shengmei and had never witnessed them herself.
Before Luo Yang's arrival, Lin Xixin had thought he was an experienced old doctor, at least in his forties or fifties.
To her surprise, Luo Yang turned out to be a young man, which quite shocked Lin Xixin.
Yet, being worldly, she did not show her inner doubts.
After all, Tan Shengmei was her good sister and best friend, as close as family.
Tan Shengmei claimed Luo Yang's medical skills were superb, so Lin Xixin could only half believe it initially.
Earlier, Luo Yang had talked about the treatment for mastitis, which seemed reasonable.
However, when acupuncture was mentioned later, Lin Xixin worried that Luo Yang might be a novice.
If a novice handled such long needles, jabbing them around on her chest, it wouldn't kill her but would hurt for half a year.
Women love beauty, and if her chest were swollen from the needling, she would be utterly devastated.
Also, being an anchor at the county radio station, Lin Xixin was particularly keen on maintaining a beautiful figure.
Although she had recently given birth and had not yet regained her optimal shape, she had minor issues with her breasts and could not afford to exacerbate them, fearing how she would face her colleagues.
With all these worries, she was extraordinarily cautious to avoid becoming Luo Yang's practice target.
Just as Luo Yang was about to insert the needle, having located the acupoint, Lin Xixin opened her eyes, saw the acupuncture needle approaching her chest, screamed delicately, and shook her body.
"Big bad wolf, let's not do this," Lin Xixin hurriedly covered her chest with her hands.
Luo Yang gave a helpless smile, thankful that he hadn't yet inserted the needle.
Otherwise, that stab would definitely have gone awry, causing Lin Xixin unnecessary pain and himself embarrassment.
Lin Xixin already doubted Luo Yang's skills, and a misstep with the needle would only deepen her disbelief in his knowledge of acupuncture.
"Xi Yangyang, you promised me you would face this bravely," Luo Yang reasoned gently.
"Just give me a massage," Lin Xixin pouted, her lips a faint red.
Just like Hong Jiaxin and An Yuying when they pouted, Luo Yang felt they had the charming air of young girls.
Seeing Lin Xixin, the older sister figure, also pouting, though she lacked the innocent charm of younger girls, there was an added allure of mature femininity.
If it weren't for the fact that he had kissed her lips earlier and knew her intense reaction, Luo Yang would have liked to peck at her lips again and taste her honey-flavored lipstick.
His gaze drifted from her lips down to the rounded mounds of her chest, which brought another comforting pleasure, truly indescribable.
The purpose of the massage was also to stimulate, but the blockage in Lin Xixin's breasts was quite severe, and massage alone couldn't solve the problem.
Of course, if willing to spend a week giving daily massages, it would also completely clear the blockage.
It wasn't that Luo Yang was stingy, but there were various reasons.
Not to mention, the places where they lived were quite far apart.
One was in the countryside, the other in the county town.
Moreover, they didn't have many opportunities to meet ordinarily, as both were busy with their lives.
Luo Yang couldn't possibly spend every day going to Lin Xixin to massage her chest.
Even if he agreed, Lin Xixin probably wouldn't have so much free time to spend alone with Luo Yang.
An issue that could be resolved in one go would otherwise take much longer, and that wasn't Luo Yang's way.
Luo Yang's mind quickly identified the main reason Lin Xixin feared acupuncture.
Actually, she felt afraid because the acupuncture needles were too long.
Just now, Luo Yang had asked her to close her eyes to keep her mind at ease.
Now asking her to close her eyes again was futile since she had already seen the acupuncture needle and had an impression of it, naturally leading to some worries.
Upon further thought, he realized that exaggerating the seriousness of the problem could force Lin Xixin to make the decision to undergo acupuncture.
Having a plan, Luo Yang knew what to do next.
From his conversation with Lin Xixin, he concluded that she knew very little about medical matters.
This provided Luo Yang with a foundation to boast.
Thus, Luo Yang sighed deeply, showing a saddened expression on his face.
"Big Gray Wolf, what are you sighing about?" Lin Xixin asked somberly.
"Xi Yangyang, I haven't told you everything, actually," Luo Yang said with a regretful look.
Seeing his serious demeanor, Lin Xixin couldn't help but pay attention.
"Are you a fake doctor?" she asked seriously.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yang chuckled and patted her round, elastic thigh.
"Sister Lin, I can swear on my chest that I'm a genuine doctor," Luo Yang said earnestly.
"Then what are you hiding from me? Don't lie," Lin Xixin demanded.
Luo Yang was indeed planning to lie.
He honestly nodded, and said, "Sister Lin, you might not understand how terrifying it is if milk obstruction lasts too long."
As he spoke, he looked up to gauge Lin Xixin and saw that she was listening, which meant she had fallen into his trap.
"Isn't it just painful?" Lin Xixin scoffed.
"Xi Yangyang, the pain is just the surface. Since we are so close, I'll tell you the truth. If a milk blockage lasts too long, even acupuncture combined with massage won't help. Do you know what has to be done in the end?" Luo Yang asked.
"How should I know? Don't beat around the bush, just tell me," Lin Xixin urged.
The crucial moment had arrived.
Luo Yang put on a very serious face and said, "It would have to be cut off."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xixin shuddered.
If two towering snow mountains were to be completely removed, turning into an African savannah, how could she face her friends and family in this life?
"Is it really that severe? You're lying," Lin Xixin insinuated.
"I'm close to you, so I must tell you the harsh truth. Sister Lin, you need to keep these... heh heh, your treasures. You must protect them well."
Seeing his chance, Luo Yang couldn't help but smirk slyly.
Although he was very serious, his laughter inevitably brought a playful tone.
Lin Xixin raised her hand to smack Luo Yang's head, snorting, "Always scaring people! And you say we're close."
Luo Yang quickly composed himself, adopting a serious demeanor.
"Xi Yangyang, I laugh because... well, I'll boldly tell you. I laugh because I thought about if in the future, your pair... heh heh, if such a big pair disappeared, turning into an airport, then... heh heh"
Before Luo Yang could finish laughing, Lin Xixin pushed his head with her hand.
"Laughing at what! If it turns into an airport, only you would be to blame," Lin Xixin scoffed.
"Xi Yangyang, don't let the fear of a little pain lead to a big mistake. A massage after acupuncture will solve it in one go. Once the milk flows, there won't be any problems," Luo Yang encouraged.
Seeing that Lin Xixin was still hesitant, but her eyes no longer looked as timid.
She might be considering if what Luo Yang said was true and if becoming an airport would indeed make life meaningless.
Luo Yang seized the moment, "Sister Lin, as I said, if it really hurts, I'm willing to be your servant for life, at your beck and call."
She looked at him shyly, a thick smile spreading at the corners of her mouth.
