519 Retrieval of Hope
“Take… take off my shirt?”
Tan Miao stammered. He blinked and asked weakly, “Doctor Qin, you didn’t ask me to take off my shirt previously. Why do I have to take off my shirt today.”
The tips of his ears turned slightly red. Although he knew that Doctor Qin was very capable, she was still a woman after all. It was really embarra.s.sing to be stared at by her like this.
Seeing that he was a little embarra.s.sed, Qin Xi was slightly stunned. Then she remembered that it was indeed inappropriate to undress in front of the opposite s.e.x in the 1980s.
She cleared her throat and explained, “Previously, I didn’t ask you to take it off because time was tight. Clothes would be contaminated with bacteria. Also, in the eyes of the doctor, there’s no gender difference. If you’re shy, you can close your eyes.”
“Doctor Qin, don’t mind him.” Pei Fang secretly pinched her son and glared at him, “Take it off!”
Tan Miao pouted and took off his clothes obediently. The young man was almost skin and bone.
However, it was expected. People with cancer couldn’t eat and sleep well. They had to suffer from pain every day. It would be strange if he wasn’t skin and bone.
The young man touched the ribs on his body and said in embarra.s.sment, “Am I very ugly? I was very strong in the past. I could run five thousand meters in one go. If I weren’t sick, I would definitely be better.”
Boys were more or less compet.i.tive. They did not want to be looked down upon, especially by girls.
Qin Xi picked up a few Ice Soul Silver Needles and focused on acupuncture on a few major acupoints on his chest. She comforted him, “Don’t worry, you’ll get better. When you get better, eat more and work out more.”
Tan Miao looked at the silver needles on his chest and looked at Qin Xi expectantly. He asked seriously, “Doctor Qin, can I really recover? But I have cancer!”
It was said that early-stage cancer could still be controlled, but he was already in the late stages. All the doctors and experts said that he could not be saved, so they chose to commit suicide.
However, now that Qin Xi gave him a lot of hope of survival, he really did not want to give up just like that.
People were like this. When there was no hope at all, they would never yearn for hope. However, once there was a trace of hope, they would not be willing to let go and would stick to the hope.
“Don’t worry, if I say it can be cured, it will definitely be cured. You’ll definitely be the same as before.”
Hearing Qin Xi’s words, Tan Miao nodded heavily. “I believe you!”
Twenty minutes later, the acupuncture session was over. At this moment, Gu Qing arrived. When he saw Qin Xi, he instantly recalled the scene of her fighting with the black-robed man, and he no longer dared to have any thoughts about Qin Xi.
“You’re here. I just heard that Madam Xie had a conflict with you. Are you injured?”
After saying this, Gu Qing seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help but chuckle. “I don’t think someone like her can hurt you.”
“How is she?” Qin Xi asked casually.
“Disfigured.”
Gu Qing said solemnly, “Although Madam Xie is brainless, her family background is extraordinary. Xie Zhen is also a vengeful person. Moreover, the Xie family has some power in Luoping City. You have to be careful.”
Qin Xi packed up the Ice Soul Silver Needles and said coldly, “It’s fine. I’m just afraid that they won’t come looking for me.”
Pei Fang suddenly stepped forward and said, “Doctor Qin, don’t worry. Leave the Xie family to the Tan family. In order to frame you, Xie Min instigated my son to commit suicide. We won’t let this matter rest. It won’t be long before Luoping has no place for the Xie family.”
