Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World-Chapter 172 - 173: Master, are you alright?
Chapter 172: Chapter 173: Master, are you alright?
Shao He looked at the two people who were sent away, contentedly clapped her hands, and turned to the person in the wheelchair, saying sincerely, “Thank you for what happened today.”
“They were just trivial matters.” Pei Huaian was very happy in his heart, as Chu Yu shouldn’t be able to come for a few days now.
Yun Qian saw the clinic in a mess, utterly incapable of normal operations, so he had no choice but to stand up, go out, and say to the people,” I’m sorry, the clinic needs to be refurbished. We’ll close for ten days. Please forgive us. When we reopen, you’re all welcome to come for consultation then.”
The commoners sighed in disappointment, shaking their heads before walking away, helpless.
Zhao Yuebei saw the items in the house smashed beyond recognition, grumbling,” It’s all that Marquis’ fault. If he hadn’t been fanning the flames, perhaps Young Master Sun wouldn’t have been impulsive and trashed the place.”
Yun Qian patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t think too much about it. It’s already like this, just consider it a chance to renovate the clinic.”
Despite saying this, upon seeing their shop in ruins, the mood of everyone present was heavy, leaving them no choice but to clean up slowly.
This incident granted Shao He a ten-day holiday, which was just the right amount of time to treat Pei Huaian’s legs.
The midday sun was somewhat scorching. Pei Huaian sat in the wheelchair, watching the person administering the acupuncture, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and had Ah Mo bring an umbrella to shield her from the sunlight.
After Shao He inserted all the silver needles into his acupoints, Pei Huaian felt as if his legs suddenly gained some sensation.
“How do you feel?” Shao He asked, looking up.
“It seems like I can feel them,” Pei Huaian said, somewhat excited. He had never thought that there would be a day when his legs might recover.
“Hmm, in another half a Chinese hour, I’ll remove the needles. Then you can try to stand up on your own.”
“Alright,” Pei Huaian’s gratitude was written all over his face.
Half a Chinese hour passed quickly. After Shao He pulled out the last silver needle, Pei Huaian indeed found that his legs had sensation. He was so eager to try standing up on his own that after several attempts which ended in failure,
“Don’t rush. Since you’ve been sitting in the wheelchair for a long time, recovery will be difficult. You’ll need to practice slowly,” Shao He said as she helped him up, letting him try to stand and walk forward slowly.
Pei Huaian, being in such close contact with Shao He’s skin, found his breathing becoming rapid.
Especially when he was near her lips, the warm breath that floated over caused his heart to beat violently.
“Cough cough cough…” Pei Huaian suddenly began to cough violently.
Shao He hurriedly patted his back, “Take it slower.”
This petite and soft body made him feel a wave of heat, turning his ears blazing red. He bowed his head to hide his embarrassment.
Pei Huaian walked slowly forward, but tripped over a stone, leading to both of them tumbling down together.
Shao He’s lips were pressed against Pei Huaian’s, their eyes locked. Pei Huaian could even see teardrops sparkling on her eyelashes, while his nose touched hers.
The proximity between the two was exceedingly intimate.
Pei Huaian’s head buzzed as if it had exploded, all rationality lost in an instant.
The hand that was holding Shao He’s slender waist tightened slowly, warmth gradually rising around them,
As if invisible flames were burning, engulfing them both, leaving each other breathless.
“Bang… bang bang…”
A series of hurried and disorderly footsteps shattered the ambiguous and eerie atmosphere between them. Pei Huaian suddenly woke up from the spell, releasing the beauty in his arms.
Shao He quickly got up from on top of him, her face flushed with embarrassment and annoyance. It was the first time in her life she felt so disgraced.
Ah Mo helped the person on the ground and asked with concern, “Master, are you alright?”
Pei Huaian shot an annoyed look at Ah Mo, his clenched teeth carrying a threat as he said, “I’m fine.”
Hearing something off in his master’s tone, Ah Mo immediately let go, entrusting the person to Shao He,” I’m sorry for the imposition, Doctor Shao. It suddenly occurred to me that I have things to attend to.”
Watching the figure walking away hastily, Shao He wanted to call out and stop him, but he was already too far away.
“Doctor Shao, thank you for the trouble,” Pei Huaian said with a satisfied smile, and when Shao He turned back to look at him, he immediately hid the smile on his face.

Shao He calmed the emotions in her heart and pretended to be unharmed as she got up, helping the person from the ground, but during this close contact, Pei Huaian kept intentionally or unintentionally getting closer to her.
Noticing the abnormal behavior, Shao He slightly narrowed her eyes and saw the guard not far away. She asked him to help Pei Huaian practice walking.
Pei Huaian wanted to refuse, but after seeing Shao He’s fierce look, he could do nothing but agree. He walked around the yard several times with the guard’s aid, his forehead covered in sweat from the exertion.
Seeing Shao He holding a child not far away, he walked over slowly, trying to take credit, and said, “Considering I’ve walked so much, could I hold Xiao Linzhang?”
This time, to his surprise, Shao He uncharacteristically refused, her face cold as she said, “The Fifth Prince is also tired today. It’s better for you to go back and rest early. Your health is important.”
“I’m not…” tired, the word was swallowed back under Shao He’s icy stare, muttered silently in his heart.
As Shao He turned and left with the child in her arms, Ah Mo approached with confusion, asking, “Master, what happened to Doctor Shao?”
Just moments ago, the two seemed fine, so why had there suddenly been a falling out?
