The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 48 Excellent Work

"Second uncle?"

Zhou Xuan was getting anxious. She didn't even trust the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital anymore, let alone such a young massage therapist at this shop.

"Trust your second uncle, just do it this once!"

Old Zhou spoke with great confidence.

“If this doesn’t work, we’ll do as you say and let you take a leave of absence. Your second uncle will use his connections to find you a specialist at Jishuitan Hospital for systematic treatment with Western medicine.”

"Second Uncle, after I had a blind massage last time, I couldn't even turn my neck."

"This time is different~"

Zhao Xiaochui didn't participate in their argument; he was focused on Zhou Xuan's medical report.

Straightening of the cervical curvature + slight atlas dislocation. This is his conclusion, the conclusion of Western medicine.

The doctor's diagnosis recommended seeing a psychiatrist.

Zhao Xiaochui glanced at the names of the hospital and doctor, but remained silent.

"How tall are you barefoot?" he interrupted the father and daughter's argument.

Zhou Xuan stared wide-eyed at the young masseur without saying a word.

"One meter sixty-five," Old Zhou said. "I remember it very clearly."

Zhao Xiaochui nodded, came up behind her, and used a tape measure to measure her head and shoulders.

"I need to touch your neck."

Zhou Xuan wanted to see what he was going to do, so she acquiesced.

A warm hand touched my neck twice and then left, leaving me with a feeling of loss.

Zhao Xiaochui returned to his desk, took out paper and pen to calculate, and asked, "I looked at the results of B27, ESR, and rheumatism in the test report. Ankylosing spondylitis has been ruled out. Your problem is cervical spondylosis."

Oh, by the way, I'm not a doctor, so my words are for reference only.

“I know,” Zhou Xuan replied stubbornly. Although the orthopedics department of that hospital referred her to neurology, then neurosurgery, and then psychology, she was certain that her many symptoms were caused by cervical spondylosis.

After calculating the result, Zhao Xiaochui took out a stack of massage towels from the sterilizer, folded them to the appropriate height according to the calculation, and placed them on the massage bed.

"Just try lying down."

Although Zhou Xuan still looked suspicious, she lay down with curiosity.

"..."

Zhao Xiaochui ignored her and handed the paper in his hand to Lao Zhou:

"Uncle Zhou, there's a special custom pillow brand on the market, I think it's called Pineapple Zebra, it's filled with soft tubes. Tell their customer service this information, if you're not short of money..."

Old Zhou carefully took the paper and said repeatedly, "Money is no problem, money is no problem!"

“There is a high-end brand called Tempur-Pedic that customizes neck brace height based on medical examination reports, and the price is over two thousand yuan.”

Zhao Xiaochui wrote down another brand name.

Old Zhou: "And then?"

Zhao Xiaochui: "Then let her take a break from school, fly kites during the day, look at the stars at night, and practice the Six-Character Mantra with you in the morning."

If you want to undergo systemic Western medical treatment, then go for it. But you really should go to Jishuitan Hospital, which you mentioned. It's best to get an appointment with an academician; I remember the special appointment number is around 800.

Old Zhou was stunned: "And you?"

"What about me?" Zhao Xiaochui pointed to the intellectual female student on the bed. She had already closed her eyes and her cherry-like mouth was slightly open, clearly indicating that she was about to enter a light sleep.

"Do you know that it's a civil tort to offer a massage to a customer who doesn't trust or cooperate?"

Old Zhou was stunned.

…………

Zhou Xuan was somewhat annoyed when she was woken up; she hadn't had such a good night's sleep in a long time.

However, seeing her father's helpless face, she had no choice but to suppress her temper: "Second Uncle, please let me sleep a little longer."

“Get up,” Old Zhou sighed. “It’s 120 yuan. I’m only letting you sleep here for five more minutes because of my reputation.”

"Then let's extend it for another hour!"

"Everyone's already booked up, and no one's even interested in paying extra to extend your stay."

Zhou Xuan finally understood the situation. She got up and looked at the stack of massage towels in disbelief; it wasn't even a pillow.

"Second Uncle, I want to try it once."

Although Zhou Xuan had confirmed that the young man was truly capable, she was still unaware of his special abilities.

Old Zhou sighed again: "Xiao Xuan, let's go." "Where to?"

"Go back to school, apply for a leave of absence, accompany my second uncle to practice martial arts for a few days, and try again next month."

At this moment, the studio door opened, and Zhao Xiaochui led the customer into the room. The customer was an older woman, and like Lao Zhou, she was accompanied by a young man.

Because she had to wait a little longer, she grumbled at Lao Zhou with dissatisfaction: "It's you again, Lao Zhou. How can you never stop taking advantage of others?"

Old Zhou awkwardly bowed and apologized.

At this moment, Zhou Xuan finally understood the situation and looked at Zhao Xiaochui in surprise.

The young man standing next to the older woman had the same look of doubt on his face as she had before.

Zhao Xiaochui glanced at Old Zhou and the old lady, whose faces were full of worry, and then at the two young people. A sigh got stuck between his teeth.

Pity the parents of the world.

Zhao Xiaochui approached the intellectual female graduate student again. Her glasses were very attractive, and the lines of her neck beneath the frames disappeared into the collar of her shirt, giving her a unique sense of restraint characteristic of a scholar.

Zhao Xiaochui liked this feeling.

"Can I start?"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhao Xiaochui picked up a massage towel, seemingly certain that he wouldn't be refused.

Sure enough, Zhou Xuan nodded repeatedly, having roughly understood the current situation.

My right hand rests on the lower back of the woman performing the massage, through the massage towel, and a warm current flows through me.

The long-standing injury to Zhou Xuan's waist is now generating a strong heat.

"Have you never exercised?"

After the heat flowed around, Zhao Xiaochui understood the cause of the bespectacled woman's illness. He stared at her as if she were a sloth that never moved.

Zhou Xuan's back muscles were not small, but practically nonexistent. If she didn't get cervical spondylosis, who would?

When Zhou Xuan heard the question, she lowered her head a little embarrassed:

"No."

"How did you get into university? Didn't you have a physical education exam before the college entrance exam?"

"I got in through a special admission program; I won a gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad."

Zhao Xiaochui: "..."

The heat flow shifted direction, and Zhao Xiaochui massaged the female academic's shoulder for a few more moments.

“I will come every three days from now on. I will tell the boss and set it for dinner time,” Zhao Xiaochui began writing the treatment plan on the work order.

"When you get back, search for 'Iyengar Yoga' online and do a simple introductory exercise first. Don't suddenly increase the amount of exercise."

"Young lady, your body needs muscles. It's a systemic problem that's causing your cervical spondylosis, not the other way around, not the other way around. Do you understand?"

Zhou Xuan turned her neck with a mixture of surprise and caution.

The unprecedented feeling of comfort dispelled all her doubts.

Without any more doubts, she finally revealed the adorable, naive look typical of contemporary college students, staring at Zhao Xiaochui like a newborn fawn seeing snow for the first time.

"Let's add each other on WeChat." The female academic star blushed slightly.

Zhao Xiaochui glanced at Old Zhou, and the old man nodded repeatedly with an excited expression.

So, the young man's phone now has another beautiful woman's contact information.

After seeing off these two, we welcomed another mother and child.

Unlike Zhou Xuan when she first entered, the young man who had witnessed the whole process no longer showed any suspicion and answered cleanly and crisply, "Cervical spondylosis."

A thousand words of explanation cannot compare to a simple practical demonstration.

…………

At noon, Zhao Xiaochui ate lunch at the police station canteen for the first time.

Knowing that he could have all three meals there, the chubby receptionist gave him plenty of time to eat.

She was nothing like a capitalist; she gave Zhao Xiaochui ample time between customers, during lunch and dinner, and even after meals.

In her spare time, she also often urges Zhao Xiaochui to read and study.

Honestly, even a biological mother wouldn't be this kind of person.

The plot is progressing slowly; three chapters today.
