Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Are You Sure You Want to Play with Fire?
"Second Miss Shen, what are you doing?"
Jiang Xinghai froze, a knowing smile touching his lips. "Don’t."
"Like what?"
Shen Lingyin suddenly reached out and pressed a finger to Jiang Xinghai’s lips. "Call me Lingyin. Don’t keep calling me Second Miss Shen. It sounds so formal."
"Lingyin, you should be more reserved," Jiang Xinghai said, his expression still serious.
Shen Lingyin’s forthright personality was very similar to Feng Lulu’s. Both girls were around the same age—only nineteen—and he didn’t want to get involved with her.
"It’s just that my leg feels a little sore. Aren’t you a Divine Doctor? Come on, take a look for me." Shen Lingyin already had a little plan of her own.
"So your leg is uncomfortable, is it?" Jiang Xinghai looked down, skeptical.
Today, Shen Lingyin was wearing a pair of black shorts with frayed, tassel-like hems that were quite a feast for the eyes.
In the bloom of her youth, she wore no stockings. Her long, graceful, straight, and shapely legs were displayed before Jiang Xinghai like a work of art.
"Your legs look perfectly fine from the outside. I’ll have to examine them by hand," Jiang Xinghai said, reluctantly tearing his gaze from her legs to meet her eyes. He saw a flash of triumph in them as she stared back at him.
"If you need to touch them, then touch them. Doesn’t a doctor need to use their hands? Come on." Far from shy, Shen Lingyin placed her other leg on Jiang Xinghai’s lap as well. "Check them both for me. They’ve been feeling a little sore lately."
Jiang Xinghai couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
’I’m a man who cultivates the Dragon Locking Secret Technique!’
His vitality was already far beyond that of a normal person, and he needed to perform a Yin-Yang Fusion at least once every three days. Shen Lingyin’s actions were pushing his self-control to the absolute limit.
"Are you... gulping?"
Shen Lingyin suddenly noticed Jiang Xinghai’s Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, which made her heart race with panic.
But remembering her goal, she forced herself to press on. "It’s almost lunchtime. You aren’t hungry, are you?"
"Yeah, I am a little hungry." Jiang Xinghai snapped out of it, quickly calming his turbulent emotions.
"Then hurry up and check, so we can go get lunch together," Shen Lingyin said with a serious expression, glancing at the time.
"But if I use my hands, it would be improper. I think I’ll just use the Observation Technique from my personal medical arts," Jiang Xinghai said calmly, suddenly realizing that Shen Lingyin was probably testing him.
Seeing her plan about to fail, Shen Lingyin grew anxious. "Jiang Xinghai, why are you being so slow?"
As she spoke, she grew even bolder, lifting her leg and resting it on Jiang Xinghai’s shoulder. "I know perfectly well that a doctor doesn’t see gender, only a patient. If you’re acting shy, I’ll just have to assume you have ulterior motives."
Jiang Xinghai laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Lingyin asked, confused.
"I’m laughing at myself for not appreciating the good fortune right in front of me."
Jiang Xinghai’s expression suddenly became mischievous. "To have such a beautiful treasure right in front of me and turn a blind eye... I really don’t know how to appreciate a beautiful woman."
He had to admit, for a nineteen-year-old, Shen Lingyin’s skin was exceptionally smooth.
The legs right in front of him alone exuded an intoxicating aura. It was no exaggeration to say he could play with them for a whole year!
"Jiang Xinghai, what are you spacing out for?" Seeing him just smiling without a word, his eyes turning red, Shen Lingyin nearly broke into a triumphant grin. She quickly fanned the flames. "Hurry up. This position is getting difficult to hold."
"Lingyin, are you sure you want to play with fire?" Jiang Xinghai suddenly shot Shen Lingyin a wicked smile.
Shen Lingyin feigned confusion. "What fire? My leg is just uncomfortable, and I want you, the Great Divine Doctor Jiang, to take a look. You’re not refusing, are you?"
"Of course I’m willing."
Before the words were even out of his mouth, Jiang Xinghai’s hands shot out, grabbing both of Shen Lingyin’s ankles and pushing them forward.
"Hey, you!"
Shen Lingyin was startled not only by Jiang Xinghai’s wicked smile but also by the strange and embarrassing position he’d just forced her into.
"Relax, I’m just checking your leg joints. Your reaction just now tells me your hip joints are fine. Now, let’s check your knees." Jiang Xinghai’s hands suddenly twisted left and right.
HISS!
Shen Lingyin sucked in a sharp breath, nearly crying out.
Luckily, she had practiced dance since she was a child. Otherwise, being forced into a split like this would have definitely made her cry from the pain.
"If you play with fire, you get burned."
Jiang Xinghai suddenly lowered his head, and his ragged breathing sent a jolt of alarm through Shen Lingyin.
"Y-y-you! Jiang Xinghai, calm down!"
’If this keeps up, I really am going to get burned!’ Realizing this, Shen Lingyin struggled to break free from Jiang Xinghai’s grip.
But Jiang Xinghai’s hands were not just warm; they were also incredibly strong. No matter how much she struggled, it was useless!
’This is bad!’
"You two!"
Just then, Shen Lingxue pushed the door open and walked in, just in time to see Jiang Xinghai examining Shen Lingyin’s legs.
The scene was far too intimate!
Shen Lingxue’s mind went completely blank.
