BXBX NOVEL Chapter 531: 531: Urging Her to Take a Bath
“Mm,” Rong Yan, unaware of her thoughts, took her bag with the acupuncture supplies and accompanied her upstairs.
After conducting a careful and thorough examination, Rong Yan confirmed that she simply had a common case of lumbar muscle strain. He explained the situation to Lin Zhiya and started to treat her meridians with needles.
Sometimes lumbar muscle strain may cause back pain because the blood vessels are blocked, leading to poor blood circulation. What he needed to do was to use acupuncture to open up the blocked points, allowing blood to flow smoothly and at the same time, relaxing the tense muscles.
The whole acupuncture session took over half an hour.
By the end, Rong Yan’s forehead was covered with fine sweat. He carefully removed the needles from her waist one by one, “Alright, that’s it.”
Lin Zhiya had been lying down for over forty minutes, feeling warmth enveloping her back. When Rong Yan finally said she could move, she got up, moved her shoulders and back, and realized that her back did indeed feel much better!
“Hey, my back really feels a lot better, it’s not as uncomfortable as before.”
While Rong Yan was disinfecting the needles and putting them back into their case, he said to her, “This is just a temporary relief. For a complete recovery, you’ll need a few more sessions. Next time I come over earlier, I’ll let you know in advance to see if you have time. If you do, I’ll treat you a few more times. It should get better after about four or five sessions.”
“Besides acupuncture, you can also use the massage chair I bought for you. It has a function specifically for massaging the back. Although it’s not a cure, it can alleviate the condition.”
He explained meticulously, worried that Lin Zhiya might not have heard him clearly.
Lin Zhiya listened to his suggestions for relieving back pain and couldn’t help feeling pleased. When she saw the fatigue in the bottom of Rong Yan’s eyes, she quickly fixed her clothes, rose from the bed, and pushed Rong Yan towards the bathroom, “You don’t have to worry about me. Since you’ve decided to stay tonight, you should go take a bath now; I see dark circles forming under your eyes.”
“Take a shower, and I’ll bring you a set of pajamas.”
Rong Yan was ushered into the bathroom and watched as Lin Zhiya bustled out again to fetch a set of pajamas for her, advising her to take a bath while she went to tidy up the room.
The bathroom door closed.
Rong Yan was also exhausted from a whole day’s work, having assisted in cooking and treating Lin Zhiya. After a day of intense labor, she was sticky with sweat all over her body.
Without any further fuss, she turned on the water to prepare for her bath…
…
Meanwhile, Lin Zhiya didn’t idle after she left. She first went to check on the guest room that she had the butler tidy up.
“Madam,” the old butler was directing the servants to change the linens in the room, and on seeing her, he immediately bowed respectfully.
Lin Zhiya’s gaze swept over the guest room’s soft bed and adorable pink decorations, then waved her hand to signal that they didn’t need to mind her, “Carry on with your work, don’t mind me.” She had another important matter to attend to!
“Yes.” Everyone continued with their tasks,
Lin Zhiya looked around the room, and, seemingly out of nowhere, she grabbed a cup, holding it as though she was going to drink some water.
