Chapter 795 - Reason of Inbalance
“Wait! Don’t turn around yet!” Su Tao suddenly spoke out.
Gu Rushan listened to his instruction as she kept her back to Su Tao.
“Alright, you can turn around now.” A feminine voice suddenly sounded out from the rear that startled Gu Rushan. When she turned around while holding onto her chest, she noticed that it was Xiao Jingjing standing behind her.
“Where’s Su Tao?” Gu Rushan was baffled as she looked at Xiao Jingjing.
“My master asked me to treat you. He had already told me about your situation along with the solution. Then again, we will respect your wishes as well. If you’re not willing to accept my treatment, I can get my master to conduct the treatment for you.” Xiao Jingjing also has no idea why she felt enmity for Gu Rushan. Even if she knows that Gu Rushan is a friend and patient of her master, she still felt somewhat unhappy in her heart.
Ultimately, it’s because Gu Rushan is gorgeous, not to mention that she’s also a celebrity. Whenever her master looks at Gu Rushan, there’s something unusual in his eyes.
Xiao Jingjing knows that she shouldn’t bring her personal emotions into work, but she still couldn’t help feeling somewhat unhappy.
Gu Rushan never expected that Su Tao would play a swap, calling Xiao Jingjing in while she was removing her clothes. Now that she had already removed her clothes, she can’t possibly wear them back, right?
As Gu Rushan gnashed her teeth, she relied, “Forget it. I never expected that Su Tao would put on such airs. Since you’re his favourite pupil, then I trust in your medical skill!”
Xiao Jingjing knows that Gu Rushan was speaking against her heart, but she has a sweet-tempered personality as she recited the medicine practicing guidelines to calm herself down.
“Lie down on the bed!” Xiao Jingjing sighed as she placed her medical tools by the side.
In the end, Gu Rushan mustered her courage as she laid down on the bed. In the dance studio’s changing room or bath, she would often have to face other women naked as well. Anyhow, they have what each other has and the only difference lies in the sizes.
However, she’s not wearing any clothes right now, while Xiao Jingjing was fully dressed, so she couldn’t help feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Xiao Jingjing had no hesitation as she placed her hand on Gu Rushan and spoke out, “Let me know immediately if you feel any pain.”
“Got it!” Gu Rushan felt nervous as she heard that women would occasionally face illnesses that’s hard to talk about once they reach a certain age.
Xiao Jingjing was light in her hand, but she was great in locating the acupoints.
All of a sudden, Gu Rushan suddenly locked her brows together as she cried out, “Ouch!”
Xiao Jingjing was stunned by her cry as she touched the location again and asked, “Is it here?”
“Yeah, is there any problem?” Gu Rushan replied nervously.
“Don’t worry about it! Let me continue with my examination!” Xiao Jingjing tossed all her distracting thoughts aside as she applied pressure once more on Gu Rushan’s larger breast.
“Ouch! Stop, it’s painful!” Gu Rushan noticed that Xiao Jingjing’s pressure would make her feel pain. Hence, she suddenly suspected if Xiao Jingjing was messing with her.
However, Xiao Jingjing isn’t that sort of person as she replied, “Put on your clothes.”
“You’ve treated me already?” Gu Rushan was doubtful.
“It’s only a basic checkup, so you can relax and rest first!” Xiao Jingjing replied before she left the room.
Su Tao was waiting next door. When he saw Xiao Jingjing walking over with a grave expression, he sighed, “Is it serious?”
“It’s truly breast lumps, but it’s not too serious.” Xiao Jingjing replied honestly.
Breast lump is a TCM term, and in western medicine, it would be hyperplasia. It’s a common situation in women at the age between 25 to 40. It’s mostly seen in young women or unmarried women.
Su Tao knew that Gu Rushan’s body isn’t in good condition, especially after she became popular. Due to the hectic work schedule, she couldn’t get enough rest and led to the hormones disorder in her body.
“You will be responsible for treating her. We’ll think of something once it’s settled.” Su Tao instructed before he went on, “Forget it. I’ll personally talk to her about it.”
As Su Tao went towards the room next door and pushed open the door, he was stunned when he saw that Gu Rushan was only half-way dressed.
Although she had already worn her bra, she still hadn’t adjusted the position well as her glossy skin gave of a faint radiance under the light.
“Why did you come in? You lecher!” Gu Rushan felt both bashful and furious.
According to Su Tao’s estimation, Gu Rushan should have sufficient time to wear her clothes. However, Gu Rushan was worried about her examination, so it took some time.
But she never expected that Su Tao would barge in directly that left her furious.
She was furious because it was fine if she’s naked before Su Tao, but she still hadn’t adjusted her bra well.
“Why are you still looking?” Gu Rushan reprimanded again before Su Tao immediately turned around.
“Just consider that I was conducting a checkup for you. Calm down, alright?” Su Tao tried to explain.
As Gu Rushan immediately wore her clothes well, she spoke out, “You can turn around now!”
When Su Tao turned around and saw Gu Rushan redoing her hair, he fermented his emotions briefly before he explained, “Generally speaking, there are different reasons for the breast to be sized differently. Some are natural, while some are caused by diseases.”
“Am I ill? Is it cancer? If it’s cancer, will it have to be removed?” Gu Rushan shot out her questions in concern.
Su Tao never expected that Gu Rushan would overthink the matter as he appeased, “Relax. You’re not married, so the odds of you having breast cancer is close to none. You have breast lumps, or hyperplasia, but you will recover swiftly if you nurse your health well.”
It was only at this moment did Gu Rushan felt inwardly relieved after listening to Su Tao’s words as she asked, “Do I only have to take Chinese medicine? How long do I have to take the medicine for?”
“Generally speaking, it will take 1-3 months using medicine. But don’t you have an undergarment photoshoot? As time is tight, so I suggest that you should opt acupuncture and massage methods.” Su Tao explained patiently as he went on, “There will be an obvious effect in roughly one week.”
However, Gu Rushan wore a grave expression as she looked at Su Tao for a long time, hesitating.
Seeing that there’s something wrong with her expression, he smiled as he waved his hand, “What is it? You can be direct with me.”
“Since I have hyperplasia on my right, will it become smaller once it’s recovered?” Gu Rushan asked softly in a voice that nearly cannot be heard.
Su Tao was stunned as women would pay attention to their figure more than men. Gu Rushan was already unhappy with her measurements, and if her breast lump was treated, wouldn’t that mean that her breast will be smaller? At that time, wouldn’t she have no highlight in the undergarment photoshoot?
Indeed, women’s hearts are unfathomable.
“You’re too over concerned. Once your breast lump is sorted, we can use other methods to make them bigger.” Su Tao smiled bitterly as he added, “But I don’t think that there’s an issue for them to be smaller because you’re already big. Women can’t be too greedy. Did you see those foreigners who pursue huge breasts? There’s actually no aesthetic in it. On the contrary, it will look horrifying instead.”
“Tsk, you’re just talking against your heart. Which men don't want them big?” Gu Rushan snorted.
“Alright, alright. It’s still far for us to discuss this matter. So do you want to take the treatment?” Su Tao feels that the topic will go off if they continue any further.
“Go ahead!” Gu Rushan also had no choice as she continued, “Will it still be your disciple treating me? I can tell that she doesn’t have any favorable opinion about me, and she even seems to have enmity against me.”
“Rolling his eyes at Gu Rushan, Su Tao replied, “Stop being so suspicious. Jingjing is a sweet-tampered girl, but she’s still new to the society, so it’s unavoidable for her to feel restricted before a celebrity like you. It will be much better once the two of you get familiar with each other.”
“I beg to differ!” Gu Rushan pouted her lips as she probed with a smile, “My woman’s sixth intuition tells me that she was jealous and cautious. Could it be that she has feelings for you?”
“For imagination is too rich. You shouldn’t be an actress but a writer instead.” Su Tao rolled his eyes as he went on, “My disciple might be young, but she’s one of the best physicians that the Three Flavour Hall has to offer. You’re my friend, so don’t feel that I’m trying to brush you away.”
“As the saying goes, an acquaintance would rather pick an acquaintance.” Gu Rushan replied before she chuckled and covered her mouth upon seeing Su Tao’s unsightly expression, “Alright, I’ll go with your suggestion and let your beautiful disciple treat me. But I have to say it beforehand that I won’t pay if I’m not treated well.”
Glaring at Gu Rushan, Su Tao replied, “You’ve already owed me so much money, and I haven’t asked you for it. Do you think that I will mind the treatment fees?”
As he spoke, he left the room, fuming in anger. All of a sudden, Gu Rushan sighed as her expression changed. The reason why she was bickering with Su Tao was to ease the awkwardness of Su Tao bumping into her changing clothes.
Then again, this had also determined Gu Rushan’s heart to let Xiao Jingjing treat her.
If Su Tao were to massage that region along with acupuncture, just imagining it alone was terrible enough.
A few minutes later, Xiao Jingjing entered. Evidently, Su Tao had spoken with her to ease up the atmosphere between her and Gu Rushan as she spoke out, “Please take a few minutes of rest. I will begin your treatment briefly.”
Looking at Xiao Jingjing arranging a pile of bottles, Gu Rushan was a little anxious as she asked, “What are they going to be used for?”
“I’m preparing to treat you with moxibustion, and it will be more effective this way.” Xiao Jingjing replied honestly.
“Can I know what the treatment will be like?” Gu Rushan asked with an ashened expression as she had a bad premonition.
“Moxibustion is making use of fire to clear up the veins and encourage blood circulation to ease illnesses.” Xiao Jingjing suddenly realised that Gu Rushan is just a patient seeing the fear on her face. Hence, she patiently replied, “You don’t have to be worried about it. I will control the temperature well, and it won’t be painful.”
