Peninsula: My pet is my idol

During the abdominal massage treatment, Kim Tae-yeon changed her clothes...

It can't really be described as a full outfit; it's more like two pieces of cloth: a bralette and boxer shorts.

Tang Xin blushed slightly, forcibly controlling her attention.

He pulled a thin, telescopic pole from his backpack and used it to touch Kim Tae-yeon's skin, maintaining a distance.

He verbally instructed his female assistant to massage Kim Tae-yeon's abdominal acupoints using specific techniques.

The female assistant's technique was not very good; even with Tang Xin's on-site instruction, it was still far from satisfactory.

But that's all we can do.

While the female assistant was massaging her abdomen, Tang Xin was also applying acupuncture to Kim Tae-yeon.

Tang Xin inserted varying numbers of fine needles into his calves, thighs, shoulders, and arms.

The process of "inserting the needle" is not scary.

What's truly terrifying is the "lifting and thrusting" and "twisting" after the needle is inserted.

During this process, the female assistant grimaced and screamed, but Kim Tae-yeon, lying flat on her back, couldn't see and could only keep asking, "Where, where, where?"

The treatment is now completely over.

Kim Tae-yeon sat up and stretched her whole body, feeling completely refreshed.

The principle of acupuncture is to insert fine needles into the muscle layer and loosen the deep "fascia" in a small area to achieve the effect of relaxing the muscles.

In contrast, myofascial release in the "Sports Rehabilitation Department" is more like rolling dough, which involves damaging the patient's muscles.

Acupuncture is painless and relaxes the fascia and muscles, so Kim Tae-yeon naturally felt very comfortable.

The three sat in the living room, and Tang Xin explained the treatment-related matters to Kim Tae-yeon and her female assistant.

Kim Tae-yeon, however, was somewhat distracted, staring at Tang Xin's hand, and suddenly said:

"Dr. Tang, your hands are so beautiful."

Tang Xin's hands are a size larger than those of people of the same height, but they are within the normal range and not scary.

These hands are very delicate, with distinct knuckles, long fingers, and prominent veins on the back of the hands.

These are very typical hands that girls would like.

Women can't understand why men have a foot fetish. Men: Aren't you going to invite me to try some cherries?

Just like men can't understand why women are obsessed with their hands, women might say: "Aren't you going to invite me up for a chat?"

Tang Xin paused for a moment, then nodded: "People who work in the medical field usually have nice hands."

This is true; people in the medical industry frequently wash their hands or take care of their hands carefully in order to perform various "sterile procedures".

Students like Tang Xin who study acupuncture and massage use their hands very frequently.

When inserting needles, the hand must be steady, so the muscles in the hand and wrist are very stiff.

Massage and manipulation, with the hands coated in medicine, make the skin on the palms and backs of the hands delicate and smooth.

Kim Tae-yeon hesitated, swallowing back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She wanted to say, "Your hands look so rough," but after thinking about it, she realized it wouldn't be appropriate to say it, so she decided not to.

It was already 9 p.m. when I left Kim Tae-yeon's house.

A Mercedes-Benz was parked near Kim Tae-yeon's house.

After Tang Xin got into the car, she called out, "Master, why did you suddenly call me out so late?"

"I'll take you out for dinner," Master He said matter-of-factly. "Aren't you going to get your driver's license? It's not right for your teacher to take you out to dinner and make me drive you myself."

"Master, my Korean driver's license isn't recognized in China, so I have to take it again when I go back home."

"If you got your driver's license in Korea, just buy a car there," Master He said. "Squeezing onto buses and subways every day, saving that little bit of money, is such a waste of time."

"I won't buy it. If I do, I'll just have to sell it when I get back to China, which is too much trouble."

"Stubborn fool."

During the meal, Tang Xin took the initiative to ask:

"Master, there should be more female celebrities coming to you for consultations soon, because Kim Tae-yeon privately asked me if I could take cases myself and recommend me to other female celebrities."

"I refused, and told her I could only work if I got orders from you."

"Other female celebrities will likely contact you through Kim Tae-yeon."

Upon hearing this, He Dan raised his hand and smacked him on the head: "Why don't you just take these kinds of jobs yourself? Why push them onto me? Don't you think your master is tired enough? Didn't I tell you, if you push handsome guys onto me, can you at least keep the women away for me? Did you even listen to what your master said?"

"Master... I wasn't qualified to practice medicine to begin with, and what I'm doing now is practically practicing medicine illegally..." Tang Xin said helplessly, "If I'm practicing medicine illegally and I still take private cases, isn't that just courting death... the law enforcement will catch me red-handed..."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Master He laughed. "Korean medical law doesn't recognize the legality of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Strictly speaking, I'm practicing medicine illegally too. We're both practicing medicine illegally, and I'm not afraid, so why are you? Anyway, no matter what we do, it's illegal practice, so we're definitely going to make a killing!"

Tang Xin sighed, "Master...we won't be ruined and deported afterward, will we?"

"That's considered famous," Master He said. "How can you achieve great things and make big money if you're afraid of this and that?"

"Master, what you're saying... sounds like something a bandit would say..."

He Dan laughed dismissively, "When your master was alive, he talked about me many times. He said that I was lucky to have studied medicine, because if I had gone into other industries, I would have been of no benefit to society."

Tang Xin nodded in deep agreement, and Master He, far from being annoyed, burst into laughter.

"Hey, my good disciple, how about that Kim Tae-yeon...? Your master here is always taking advantage of old men, have you...?"

"She's over thirty, Master, and she looks like that... almost withered..." Tang Xin complained. "I'm only 21, I'm still young and vibrant..."

"You still don't understand the charm of older women," Master He said. "As the saying goes, 'A woman three years older brings wealth, a woman thirty years older brings an empire, a woman three hundred years older brings a golden elixir, and a woman three thousand years older ascends to immortality.' Kim Tae-yeon may be a bit older than you, but she's richer than your master! Disciple, making money isn't shameful!"

"Shabby, fucking shabby!"

"My disciple, if you ever become rich and powerful, do not forget me!"

Tang Xin: "..."

"But Master, you're always taking advantage of those old men. These old men are quite powerful and influential in South Korea. What if we get retaliated against?"

"Hey~" Master He waved his hand: "You're not in my circle, you wouldn't understand. Don't forget, your master is an old-school traditional Chinese medicine doctor! Observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—just those four words. I can tell at a glance whether someone is in my circle or not. I never misjudge, I never fail!"

Tang Xin: "Master, is this how the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation are used?"

He Dan raised an eyebrow and said, "I'll use it this way, who cares?"

"My master is about to be brought back to life by anger..."

"Tch, old zombies made into medicinal herbs are really potent!"

Tang Xin: "..."

"Don't worry, your master has already made contact with the embassy. Heh heh~ there won't be any major problems, don't worry." Master He put his arm around Tang Xin's shoulder and said, "Don't underestimate your master, my disciple."

Tang Xin thought about the consultation fees, and how her wallet had shrunk from eating so much meat these past few days...

"So... should I really take those female celebrities' jobs?"

"Take it, why not?" He Dan said, "Don't let these orders pass through my hands. Take them privately yourself, so that your colleagues in the industry don't find out and say I broke the rules."

For example, if Kim Tae-yeon asks He Dan to place an order, and Tang Xin provides the service, and He Dan gives Tang Xin a share of the profits, that's a bad practice.

Because many masters treat their apprentices like servants. They can't stand Master He breaking the rules.

However, if Kim Tae-yeon went directly to Tang Xin, and He Dan didn't write a prescription, but Tang Xin accepted the consultation fee, then it wouldn't be considered a bad practice.

"Master, we'll split the profits 30/70 afterwards!"

He Dan thought for a moment and said, "Giving me 30% is a bit too much."

"What 30%? 70% is yours, I'll take 30%!" Tang Xin corrected.

"You silly child..."

-----------------

Two orders were passed on to Tang Xin through Kim Tae-yeon's connections.

Unfortunately, there were several scheduling conflicts with Tang Xin's, so I could only accept one of the two orders at a time.

Tang Xin's choice...

"A is from Girls' Generation, specifically Yoona's order."

"B, (closed)."
