Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Physical Examination
Ye Qinglian's eyes flickered a few times before she said, "There's something I'd like to ask for your help with."
"Sure, tell me." Li Xiaoyao couldn't think of anything that this woman might need help with.
"Could you help me... check... my body?" Ye Qinglian's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost as faint as a mosquito's buzz. If it weren't for Li Xiaoyao's exceptional hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear what she was saying at all.
"Check your body?" Li Xiaoyao was stunned. What kind of request was this?
Seeing his puzzled expression, Ye Qinglian blushed and said, "Before I lost consciousness, I was still pure, so I would like you to help me check whether I still am... pure."
Li Xiaoyao suddenly understood. So that's what it was about.
Ye Qinglian was worried that, during the year of her unconsciousness, Zhang Jianguo might have taken advantage of her.
It was natural for her to be worried; after all, as a big beauty with both figure and looks, lying motionless in bed day after day, any normal man would have thoughts about her.
However, Li Xiaoyao felt that Zhang Jianguo probably wouldn't do such a despicable thing.
But since Ye Qinglian had made such a request, he naturally had to help her check, considering it a favor between friends.
Li Xiaoyao stared at her for a few seconds and said, "I've studied ancient medicine and can determine whether you are still pure by taking your pulse."
"What do I need to do?" asked Ye Qinglian.
"You don't need to do anything, just extend your right hand to me," Li Xiaoyao replied.
"Oh." Ye Qinglian nodded, pointed to a worn flower bed not far away, and asked, "Shall we sit over there?"
Li Xiaoyao had just said that to make Ye Qinglian feel comfortable with his professionalism; otherwise, he just needed to use his thoughts to probe a bit, and he would know whether her body was intact. There was no need for all this trouble.
But doing so would surely make Ye Qinglian doubt his examination.
The two sat on the flower bed. Ye Qinglian extended her arm, reminiscent of a lotus root, and Li Xiaoyao lightly placed two fingers on her wrist, pretending to close his eyes. In fact, he had already released his Divine Sense, which was now wandering through her body.
Ye Qinglian, on the other hand, was a bit nervous. When Li Xiaoyao's fingers touched her skin, she felt a surge of electricity throughout her body.
When she had been unconscious, she had dreamed of Li Xiaoyao—it was definitely this man, she was certain.
Taking advantage of Li Xiaoyao's closed eyes, Ye Qinglian freely scrutinized his face.
Li Xiaoyao wasn't so handsome that it'd make people swoon at first sight, but he was the type who was very pleasing to look at, with distinct features; sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a straight nose.
While Ye Qinglian was stealing glances at Li Xiaoyao, he was using his thoughts to observe her body.
Even as he examined Ye Qinglian's body without restraint, Li Xiaoyao remained calm, harboring no inappropriate thoughts.
His thoughts delved deep into her body, and soon, he was certain that Ye Qinglian was still a virgin, a genuine one.
Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes and saw Ye Qinglian staring at his face. He smiled, touched his own cheek, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Ye Qinglian's cheeks flushed slightly as she shook her head and said, "No, did you find anything during the check?"
Li Xiaoyao hummed affirmatively and said, "I've checked; your body is completely intact."
Hearing Li Xiaoyao's definite reply, Ye Qinglian felt instantly calm and then said, "Thank you for waking me up today. I will remember this favor. If you ever encounter any trouble you can't solve, come to me."
With that, Ye Qinglian got up and left.
Li Xiaoyao watched her leave, wanting to ask, "But where do I find you?"
She was a strange yet individualistic woman.
"Li Xiaoyao, what are you doing?" Zhu Xiaoyue's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Li Xiaoyao didn't turn around and said, "Nothing."
Zhu Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiaoyao curiously and surveyed the surroundings before asking, "Where did Sister Ye go?"
"She left," Li Xiaoyao replied nonchalantly, pulling out a cigarette as he turned around.
"She left?" Zhu Xiaoyue frowned and said, "How could you let her leave?"
Li Xiaoyao spread his hands innocently and replied, "I can't exactly stop her from leaving."
"Let her go if she wants. Now that she's awake, whatever she wants to do is her business." Zhang Jianguo suddenly appeared and said.
Li Xiaoyao walked over and said, "Brother Zhang, you seem to take it quite easy, don't you? That's your wife. It wasn't easy for her to wake up, and now you just let her go without feeling any reluctance?"
Zhang Jianguo smiled, shook his head, and said, "She once saved me. That's why I would go to any length to cure her disease; that's a man's responsibility. Now that she's awake, where she wants to go is her freedom; I can't control it, nor will I interfere. Moreover, we never registered our marriage, so we're not really husband and wife."
Li Xiaoyao gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Zhang, you are truly impressive. The way you see things, not becoming a monk would be a waste."
Zhang Jianguo chuckled, shook his head at Li Xiaoyao's jest, and put a hand on his shoulder, saying, "Come on, let's go have a drink."
