Chapter 10 I'm Really Not a Scoundrel
Wang Tao was outside collecting rent when she suddenly received a call from Wu Xiaomei.
She was startled when she heard that Xia Bingyu and Li Yi had gotten into a fight in the store.
The two grew up together, and Wang Tao knew Xia Bingyu all too well.
From elementary school onwards, Xia Bingyu displayed amazing talent, often single-handedly beating up the boys in her class until they cried.
Later, she passed the entrance exam for a sports school and became a national-level volleyball player, after which she became even more abnormal.
Often, a single slap can knock down an adult.
Moreover, as she got older, Xia Bingyu's temper became increasingly irritable.
I often encounter things that I don't like, and if we disagree, I just start fighting.
So, after receiving Wu Xiaomei's call, Wang Tao rushed back to the beauty salon.
Deng Deng Deng!
Wang Tao jogged all the way, and by the time she reached the second floor of the beauty salon, she was already panting heavily.
The few pounds of excess fat on her chest were practically jiggling.
Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Yi sitting upright in the office.
"Xiao Li, how are you? Where are you hurt?"
"Sister Tao, you're back just in time."
Seeing that Wang Tao had finally returned, Li Yi quickly stood up. "When I came to the store today, I just wanted to check if there were any customers downstairs, but I was misunderstood. Please explain to them quickly."
"Oh, forget about misunderstandings. The most important thing now is to get to the hospital right away."
Li Yi was taken aback. "Why go to the hospital?"
"What else can we do? Of course, we'll check what internal injuries you've suffered. That crazy woman, Lao Xia, never knows her own strength when she strikes, so you absolutely mustn't try to tough it out."
No sooner had Wang Tao finished speaking than a disgruntled voice rang out from the side.
"Hey! Who are you calling a crazy woman?"
Wang Tao turned her head and saw that Xia Bingyu was also in the room. "Huh? Old Xia, when did you get here?"
"Nonsense! I've been sitting here the whole time, but all you see are pretty boys." Xia Bingyu rolled her eyes and said irritably.
"What pretty boy? You injured someone and you still think you're right? I'll settle the score with you later."
Wang Tao then turned to Li Yi and said, "Xiao Li, let's go to the hospital."
Li Yi finally understood.
It turned out that the landlord thought he had been injured by Xia Bingyu, which was why he looked so worried.
"Sister Wang, don't worry, I'm really fine. However, Sister Xia and I had a little misunderstanding just now, please explain it to her now."
Wang Tao didn't care about any misunderstandings at all; she was only worried about whether Li Yi was injured.
"Xiao Li, are you really alright?"
"I'm really fine."
"That's strange! Old Xia is a member of the national volleyball team; he could kill a bull with a single slap. How come you're completely unharmed?"
Wang Tao looked Li Yi up and down, and seeing that he was really unharmed, she still found it hard to believe.
So he's a professional athlete. No wonder he's so strong.
At this moment, Li Yi finally realized what was happening.
The reason he was able to narrowly dodge Xia Bingyu's punches and kicks was entirely because his physical fitness had improved significantly after his breakthrough in guiding skills.
Otherwise, we might really have suffered a bit today.
Xia Bingyu became somewhat displeased when she saw that Wang Tao didn't take her seriously. "Wang Tao, you still haven't explained to me what's going on with this kid?"
Wang Tao was taken aback. "What? What's going on?"
"Nonsense! Are you playing dumb with me now? Xiaomei said this kid is actually the technician you hired. Are you raising ducks yourself, or are you planning to sell them at the shop?"
"Pah! You're the one who raises ducks! Xiao Li is indeed a technician at my shop, but I don't sell ducks. He's a legitimate traditional Chinese medicine practitioner; I hired him specifically to do TCM massage!"
"Tch! Traditional Chinese medicine? Look at his sleazy appearance, he doesn't look like a decent person at all!"
Damn! How did I become so lewd?
Li Yi immediately retorted, "Sister Xia, I've already made myself very clear. I was downstairs just checking if there were any customers in the shop, not spying!"
"I don't talk to scoundrels." Xia Bingyu turned her head and glared at Li Yi, then continued to look at Wang Tao.
"Peach, you have to get rid of him today."
"Why should I? Little Li didn't do anything wrong, and you just kick him out like that?"
Xia Bingyu glared at her. "If you don't kick him out, I'll call the police and report you for raising ducks in your shop!"
Wang Tao stood with her hands on her hips, completely unfazed. "Fine, I'll report him! But I'll say it again, Xiao Li is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, not a gigolo!"
"He's a duck!"
"He isn't!"
Seeing the two of them arguing, Li Yi felt like his head was filled with nothing but cawing sounds.
"stop!"
He swiftly moved between the two women. "Sister Xia, I really am a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you don't believe me, let me give you a massage and you'll see."
Upon hearing this, Xia Bingyu immediately glared at Li Yi. "You brat, you weren't satisfied with peeping at me earlier, were you? Now you want to touch me? Bah, I won't let your hands touch me."
"..." Li Yi was completely speechless.
"Tch! What's with the gold trim on you? You really think everyone cares?"
Wang Tao naturally didn't believe that Li Yi would spy on others.
Seeing Xia Bingyu's determined look, she suddenly provoked her with a glint in her eye, saying, "I think you're just afraid to let Xiao Li give you a massage, lest you find out you've misunderstood someone and lose face."
"Who's afraid?"
Xia Bingyu was naturally quick to anger, and upon hearing Wang Tao's provocation, she immediately retorted, "Fine, since you say this kid is a traditional Chinese medicine massage therapist, then let him give me a massage now."
However, if he fails to satisfy me later, don't blame me for being ruthless.
"no problem!"
Wang Tao had great confidence in Li Yi's skills. "Little Li, today you'll show this ignorant woman what real traditional Chinese medicine massage is!"
Good grief! So he's already agreed to let me give him a massage again?
Li Yi almost strained his back from this sudden turn of events.
However, since Xia Bingyu doesn't trust me at all, I'll show her what I'm made of today.
"Sister Xia, do you feel unwell anywhere? Let me give you a massage."
Xia Bingyu glanced at her and said, "Aren't you a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine? Can't you tell where I'm feeling unwell?"
Seeing that she was clearly trying to make things difficult for Li Yi, Wang Tao immediately became displeased. "Nonsense! Traditional Chinese medicine isn't magic. If you don't tell others, how will they know what's wrong with you?"
Xia Bingyu ignored Wang Tao's words.
She looked at Li Yi, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Kid, don't you traditional Chinese medicine practitioners know how to take a pulse? Come on, take a look for yourself and see what's wrong with me."
Li Yi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
To be honest, while consultation in Traditional Chinese Medicine is very important, patients often cannot accurately express their condition, especially regarding certain acupoints, which are difficult to describe directly.
Relying solely on medical history taking can easily lead to errors.
In contrast, taking a pulse is a more accurate way to determine the condition of a patient's body.
Xia Bingyu already had a prejudice against him, and Li Yi was worried that she would say something inappropriate and cause him to misdiagnose her.
Now that the other party has taken the initiative to ask for his pulse, it's exactly what he wanted.
"Alright! Then I'll take your pulse first, Sister Xia."
Li Yi reached out and began to examine Xia Bingyu's physical condition.
