Lin Xiao Tian felt his mind go blank.
This sort of thing, in the entire household, could only possibly come from Qin Yu Xiang.
But the key was, how did it end up in his towel?
Lin Xiao Tian thought for a moment and quickly realized. He had gotten his towel from outside. This must have been accidentally dropped by Qin Yu Xiang when she was showering. He hadn't noticed when he came in and had just covered it with the towel.
He had been in a hurry to grab the towel to wipe his face, and had inadvertently picked up the bra along with it.
Looking at the damp bra in his hand, Lin Xiao Tian felt extremely embarrassed.
If Qin Yu Xiang saw the bra in this state, wouldn't she misunderstand him?
But at this moment, it was clearly impossible for it to dry.
With no other recourse, Lin Xiao Tian put it back in its place, quickly finished washing himself, and hurried out of the bathroom.
As he walked into his room, Qin Yu Xiang's door moved slightly, indicating that she had come out.
Through the crack in the door, Lin Xiao Tian saw Qin Yu Xiang rush towards the bathroom. Lin Xiao Tian didn't need to think to know what Qin Yu Xiang was going to do.
The thought of Qin Yu Xiang seeing the damp bra later made Lin Xiao Tian feel a pang of awkwardness.
After staying in his room for over ten minutes, Qin Yu Xiang called Lin Xiao Tian out for dinner.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was noticeably awkward. Qin Yu Xiang didn't mention anything about the bathroom, and Lin Xiao Tian, feeling guilty, also kept quiet.
After dinner, night had fallen.
Lin Xiao Tian sat cross-legged in meditation, letting his true qi circulate throughout his body. After a busy day, this would help his body recover quickly.
Just then, he suddenly felt a restlessness within him.
In the past, when he practiced his art, the cyan energy within him had always been stable. But today, for some reason, the cyan energy was unusually agitated.
Lin Xiao Tian sensed it carefully again and quickly discovered the reason.
He pulled open the small drawer beside his bed, took out the thousand-year-old ginseng he had collected that morning, and began to circulate his true qi again.
Indeed, the cyan energy became agitated once more!
Lin Xiao Tian recalled the last time his cyan energy had become agitated. It was when he had slept with Bai Xue, and then his cyan energy had increased.
The situation this time was similar to the last, except that the agitation of the cyan energy was much more intense this time.
Could it be that this thousand-year-old ginseng could increase the cyan energy within his body?
Lin Xiao Tian thought about it and decided to try.
He plucked a whisker from the thousand-year-old ginseng, put it in his mouth, and then began to circulate his internal energy.
The next moment, Lin Xiao Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that the cyan energy became even more violently agitated.
Even, vaguely, the cyan energy seemed to be increasing!
Lin Xiao Tian did not hesitate. He grabbed another whisker and put it in his mouth.
About ten minutes later, Lin Xiao Tian's eyes snapped open.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. In just these short ten minutes, Lin Xiao Tian's cyan energy had increased by a full tenth!
Tasting the sweetness of success, Lin Xiao Tian continued to consume several more whiskers of the thousand-year-old ginseng. Feeling the surging cyan energy within him, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't have been happier.
At this rate, after consuming the entire thousand-year-old ginseng, his total cyan energy would at least double.
Just as Lin Xiao Tian was about to continue, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Lin Xiao Tian glanced at it. It was Er Guai calling.
"Hello, Brother Er Guai, I understand. Wait for me at home, I'm coming over right away."
"Okay, Xiao Tian, no rush!"
Lin Xiao Tian had previously promised Er Guai that he would come to give him acupuncture that evening. He had been too focused on his cultivation and had almost forgotten.
After a quick tidy-up, Lin Xiao Tian left.
When he arrived at Er Guai's house, it was Zhang Xue Fen who opened the door for him.
Since the last incident, Zhang Xue Fen had moved in with Li Er Guai.
"Xiao Tian, you're here! Come in quickly." Zhang Xue Fen led Lin Xiao Tian inside.
Entering Li Er Guai's room again, Lin Xiao Tian's eyes lit up. Compared to the messy room before, Li Er Guai's room was kept very clean. It was clear that this was all Zhang Xue Fen's doing.
After leading Lin Xiao Tian in, Zhang Xue Fen called out to Li Er Guai and then returned to the bedroom.
From the bedroom, Li Er Guai emerged with a flushed face.
"Brother Er Guai, take care of your health!" Lin Xiao Tian said with a smile.
Li Er Guai blushed, glared at Lin Xiao Tian, and said, "You brat, you're making fun of me now."
"Heh heh, aren't I happy for Brother Er Guai's well-being?"
"Always talking about me. What about you? When are you going to get Yu Xiang?"
Hearing Li Er Guai mention Qin Yu Xiang, Lin Xiao Tian blushed, "Brother Er Guai, what nonsense are you talking about? Yu Xiang Jie and I don't have that kind of relationship."
"Oh, come on! Do you think you can hide it from me? Look at how you protect Yu Xiang. If you say you don't like her, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death! Xiao Tian, don't let good things go to outsiders. You need to put in more effort!"
"I think Yu Xiang likes you too. You're a man, you need to be more proactive."
Li Er Guai advised him earnestly.
They chatted for a while longer. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xiao Tian prepared to give Li Er Guai acupuncture.
"Golden needles?" Li Er Guai was surprised when he saw Lin Xiao Tian take out the golden needles.
"Yes! Golden needles are more effective, so I've switched to them."
"I heard that only very skilled doctors dare to use golden needles. Look at our national master of traditional Chinese medicine, Su Qing Lan, he uses golden needles. Xiao Tian, tell me honestly, did Su Qing Lan teach you all this medical skill?"
"This... actually, no."
"Haha, never mind. My apologies for being nosy." Li Er Guai chuckled.
About half an hour later, Lin Xiao Tian finished the acupuncture.
Perhaps it was due to taking the thousand-year-old ginseng, but after this acupuncture, Lin Xiao Tian not only felt no fatigue, but instead felt a warmth spreading throughout his body.
As a doctor, Lin Xiao Tian knew very well that this was not a good sign.
So, after finishing the acupuncture, he bid farewell to Li Er Guai and prepared to return to recuperate properly.
Halfway there, Lin Xiao Tian was called to a halt by a voice.
Lin Xiao Tian turned around and saw it was Zhang Cui Hua.
It was still very hot in Jinsha Village in midsummer, so Zhang Cui Hua was dressed lightly. She wore denim shorts, revealing her slender legs, and a thin short-sleeved shirt.
For some reason, Lin Xiao Tian felt a little dazed looking at Zhang Cui Hua.
"Xiao Tian, are you free now?"
"What's wrong? Sister Cui Hua?" Lin Xiao Tian forced himself to sober up.
"I felt much better after your last acupuncture, but yesterday I felt a little pain again. Could you give me another treatment?"
"It still hurts?"
Lin Xiao Tian thought about it. That shouldn't be the case.
However, since it was the patient's request, Lin Xiao Tian naturally had no intention of refusing.
"No problem." Lin Xiao Tian nodded.
In Zhang Cui Hua's bedroom, as before, Zhang Cui Hua cooperatively took off her clothes.
"Hey, Xiao Tian, your needles are a bit different today?"
"Looking at them, they're not golden needles, are they?"
"Tsk tsk, you brat, it seems like selling fish brings in quite a lot of money!"
Zhang Cui Hua chattered endlessly.
But then, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Lin Xiao Tian was holding the golden needles, but he hadn't made a move.
Moreover, Lin Xiao Tian's gaze was also not right.
"Xiao Tian, why are your eyes a little red?" Zhang Cui Hua sensed something was amiss and ran up to Lin Xiao Tian.
The next second, she suddenly felt her waist being embraced.
"Xiao Tian, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Cui Hua's heart pounded wildly...
