What kind of master of traditional Chinese medicine? I'm just a male technician.

Chapter 5 Conquering Bai Ruxue

While it's true that more pressure isn't always better during a massage, it needs to be tailored to the individual.

However, Bai Ruxue is young and has abundant blood and energy, and the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of her foot is not a densely populated area of ​​blood vessels and nerves.

Therefore, Li Yi deliberately increased the intensity at the beginning.

But now, seeing Bai Ruxue's particularly strong reaction, he could only slightly reduce his strength.

However, his hands did not stop moving.

"Sister Bai, I'm pressing the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of your foot. Massaging this acupoint can not only regulate metabolism and enhance kidney qi, but also relieve fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, and many other benefits."

"What Yongquan acupoint? I've pressed it before, why does it hurt so much? You better stop right now."

How can we give up halfway when dealing with patients?

While continuing to massage, Li Yi explained, "Sister Bai, the technicians who used to give you foot massages mainly used their knuckles and fingertips to press and massage the corresponding reflex zones on your feet. Their techniques were simple and lacked sufficient strength."

The traditional Chinese massage I'm giving you now mainly targets acupoints, so the pressure will be a bit stronger.

"It's not just a little heavy, it's practically murder! Please, brother, stop pressing it."

Bai Ruxue screamed and struggled to pull her foot back.

Unfortunately, Li Yi was stronger and held her down firmly. "Sister Bai, the reason you feel so much pain is because your kidneys aren't very good, so you need to massage them more."

"Pah! You're the one with kidney deficiency! Ouch~ What kind of bullshit TCM massage is this? It hurts so much, I'm not doing it anymore."

Seeing that Bai Ruxue was indeed finding it difficult to bear, Li Yi had no choice but to stop for the time being. "Sister Bai, how about this, let's stop pressing the Yongquan acupoint for now, and I'll try another spot?"

"Don't press any more buttons, the service is over."

"That won't do. I can't just take the money and not do anything. That would be too unfair to the patients."

"Waaaaah~ I want my money back!"

A refund? That's even less likely.

However, Bai Ruxue was indeed somewhat averse to acupressure, and even if she continued, she wouldn't gain any experience points.

Li Yi thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Sister Bai, how about this? I'll try a different method, without pressing any acupoints."

"No problem!" Bai Ruxue readily agreed. "As long as you don't press any acupoints, you can play with my feet however you like."

Seeing that she was about to get a fever again, Wang Tao raised an eyebrow and said, "Pah! What are you playing at? Xiao Li, you keep pressing."

"No way! You promised not to press any acupoints, little brother, you have to keep your word."

"Don't worry, I promise I won't press your acupoints."

The next moment, Li Yi's lips curled into a smile, and he grabbed Bai Ruxue's feet and began to knead them rapidly.

"Ouch~ It itches! Little brother, what are you doing?"

Bai Ruxue, who had just been wailing and howling, instantly changed her tone.

"Sister Bai, traditional Chinese massage is different from the foot bath you usually get. In addition to massaging acupoints, there are also techniques such as pinching, kneading, pulling, rolling, grasping, and pushing. The techniques are numerous and complex."

Different techniques can be chosen to address different symptoms in patients.

"Before, you were afraid of pain, so now I won't press; I'll start pinching and kneading."

"Hahaha, I'm not only afraid of pain, I'm also afraid of being tickled! I can't take it anymore~"

Li Yi seemed not to hear Bai Ruxue's pleas for mercy, and continued his work without stopping.

His ten fingers moved rapidly, like playing the piano, changing techniques back and forth, dazzling the eyes of the onlookers.

Wang Tao stood there, dumbfounded.

Yesterday, Li Yi simply massaged a few acupoints on himself, and his neck pain disappeared completely; it was very effective.

Now she realized that traditional Chinese massage is not just about pressing acupoints, but also includes so many complex techniques.

"Wow! I only spent eight thousand yuan and found such a great traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I really struck gold!"

When Wang Tao looked at Li Yi again, her eyes lit up.

Then she started to think to herself whether she should get a raise.

Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to retain our staff!

In fact, yesterday, Li Yi only knew some simple acupressure techniques.

It was only later, through a lottery, that I upgraded my massage skills to LV2 and mastered these complex techniques.

Then, today, the first practice was entirely applied to Bai Ruxue.

"Ouch~ That hurts!"

"Giggle, it itches so much~"

It's unclear whether Bai Ruxue lacks exercise or has a weak constitution, but she seemed particularly sensitive to Li Yi's massage.

At this moment, she was lying on the sofa, twisting and turning her body desperately, and wailing and howling incessantly.

She cries one minute and laughs the next.

Seeing her best friend's pitiful appearance, which didn't seem to be faking it, Wang Tao felt a pang of sympathy and said, "Xiao Li, Lao Bai looks like he's in a lot of pain. Could you go a little easier on him?"

"Sister Bai's illness is chronic and difficult to cure; she needs strong medicine. But don't worry, she won't feel any pain soon."

After hearing what Li Yi said, Wang Tao couldn't persuade him any further and could only watch quietly.

Sure enough, after a short while, Bai Ruxue's voice gradually quieted down, and she stopped shouting as loudly as before.

"Sister Bai, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better now?"

"Comfortable my ass! You almost made me pee myself!"

Bai Ruxue was sweating profusely, and her fair face was flushed.

However, although she said she was uncomfortable, she stopped struggling and let Li Yi continue the massage.

"..."

Li Yi thought he had gotten used to Bai Ruxue's speaking style, but he didn't expect that the young woman's true nature was even more complex than he had imagined.

He simply ignored it and continued to concentrate on the massage.

Crackle, crackle.

A dozen minutes later.

Li Yi estimated that the time was about right, so he stopped.

"Alright, that concludes today's massage. Sister Bai, you can get up now."

"Get up my ass! You little bastard, you've really screwed me over today!"

Bai Ruxue lay on the sofa, groaning softly, as if she couldn't get up.

"Xiao Li, what's wrong with Lao Bai?" Wang Tao asked quickly upon seeing this.

"It's alright, Sister Bai just hasn't recovered yet. Let her lie down for a while. I'll go wash my hands first."

"Okay, then go ahead."

After the massage ended, Li Yi gave one more instruction and headed towards the restroom.

After he left, Wang Tao immediately went to the sofa and said, "Alright, stop being stubborn and get up to wash up."

"Oh dear! Peach, I'm remembering this debt from today..."

Before Bai Ruxue could finish speaking, Wang Tao slapped her across the face. "You have no manners! Who do you think you are, your mother?"

"Oh my god~ I'm going to fight you!"

Bai Ruxue suddenly jumped up from the sofa, baring her teeth and claws, and launched an attack on Wang Tao.

Unfortunately, she had just received authentic traditional Chinese massage and was completely limp and weak, so she was quickly subdued.

"You seem to be in good spirits right now, so stop acting innocent after getting the benefit!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruxue was suddenly taken aback.

If you pay close attention, you'll feel a slight tingling or numbness all over your body, which is a kind of indescribable comfortable feeling.

Even thinking back on it now, that painful yet itchy feeling from just now actually felt kind of pleasurable.

Wang Tao was puzzled when she saw Bai Ruxue suddenly pause, and then reach out and touch herself.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

"I just feel... like it's not quite enough."

Bai Ruxue shook her head. "Didn't we agree on one hour? That kid only lasted half an hour at most. No way, you need to call him back right now, I want to continue!"
