Chapter 1 Seeking Medical Advice

"Sister-in-law feels so unwell, A-Fei, please help her!"

In Xinghua Village, at the clinic, Ruan Xiangling lay on the sickbed, her pretty face flushed, her watery, peach-blossom eyes filled with a plea for help.

"Xiangling, men and women should not be too close. Why don't you visit a gynecologist in the city instead?"

Looking at the scantily clad young widow lying prostratively before him, Li Fei couldn't help but swallow hard, his voice trembling.

Li Fei was twenty this year, Xinghua Village's only university student, a medical school student at that, with a bright future ahead. But two years ago, disaster struck his family; his father became disabled, and Li Fei, in gloom, dropped out, only to return to the village as the local doctor.

And Ruan Xiangling was the famously beautiful widow of Xinghua Village. Even when Li Fei was in college, he had never seen someone more beautiful than her; she was almost the village's dream.

Many of the village men harbored thoughts of her in secret.

However, although her husband had died, her conduct had always been upright. She had never had any improper relations with any man.

But recently, she noticed a pain in her chest. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, but it worsened over time—painful and swollen. When she touched it with her hand, she could feel a lump inside.

With no other choice, she had to seek help from Li Fei at the village clinic.

Seeing Li Fei's refusal, she grew somewhat anxious, "A-Fei, I'm really begging you. It's really too expensive to get treated at the big hospital. You know my family situation—how can we afford it?"

"Alright then."

Li Fei calmed his emotions, shifted his eyes away from Ruan Xiangling's chest, and after a moment's thought, said, "It might be mammary gland hyperplasia, or it could be a tumor; I need to examine you to know for sure."

"A tumor?"

Ruan Xiangling's face turned pale with fright, her whole body trembling. Her voice nearly broke into a sob, "A-Fei, you must save me."

Li Fei quickly tried to reassure her, "Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. It's just a possibility. I'll examine you first, then we can make a preliminary diagnosis."

Ruan Xiangling said urgently, "Then please, examine me now!"

Li Fei instructed, "First, take off all your clothes."

"All?" Ruan Xiangling's face turned red, her voice timid and shy, "Even my undergarments?"

"Yes, your breast is where the problem lies; I must press and check to make a judgment!"

Li Fei had entered into the mindset of a doctor by then, speaking frankly, "If it's not serious, I can massage it a bit and give you some Chinese medicine—then you'll be OK!"

"Then—I'm counting on you!"

After struggling internally for a moment, Ruan Xiangling finally agreed, her face bashful.

Then, she began to tremble as she removed her blouse.

Suddenly, her skin, smooth as white jade, became completely exposed before Li Fei.

Li Fei's eyes simply couldn't look away, feeling like a fire was fiercely burning in his mind.

At the peak of his youth, how could he remain unmoved by such a sight?

After Ruan Xiangling undressed, she looked up nervously, only to find Li Fei staring at her, his eyes nearly popping out.

Looking at Li Fei's handsome, fair face and tall figure, she suddenly smiled seductively and said, almost bewitchingly, "Xiao Fei, do you find me beautiful?"

"Beautiful!"

Li Fei replied without a second thought!

"If you cure me, I'll give myself to you, okay?"

Ruan Xiangling tempted him!

Li Fei was tall, handsome, and the village's first college student. Many of the village's young women had secret crushes on him.

Having lost her husband, Ruan Xiangling felt a strange sense of pride as she saw Li Fei bewitched by her.

But Li Fei was startled by her shocking words, regaining his senses quickly, he averted his gaze in embarrassment, "Ah? Uh-huh, sister-in-law, you must be joking."

"I'm not joking, I'm serious!"

Ruan Xiangling, now emboldened, let herself go completely and grasped Li Fei's clothes firmly, "A-Fei, don't you like me?"

Ruan Xiangling was so beautiful that any man would like her. Li Fei was no exception. Her proposal was tempting, but he didn't want to take advantage of her vulnerability.

Li Fei struggled to suppress his urges and swallowed hard, "Sister-in-law, let's talk about this once I've cured you."

"Okay, then!"

Seeing this, Ruan Xiangling nodded in agreement!

Li Fei stepped forward, gently pressed his hands, and then asked carefully,

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts..." Ruan Xiangling moaned, struggling to bear the pain."

Li Fei felt a tremor in his heart from her moan, his blood rushing.

Ruan Xiangling, with flushed cheeks, asked softly, "What do you think, A-Fei, is it a tumor?"

Li Fei forced himself to push aside the chaotic thoughts and made a judgment based on what he had learned at school, "It's not a tumor, just a breast nodule. Rest more often and take some medicine I'll prescribe, and you'll be fine."

Relieved it wasn't a tumor, Ruan Xiangling then sat up from her bed. Not bothering to clothe herself, she bit her red lips gently, her eyes brimming with tears as she gazed at Li Fei, seductively saying, "Then A-Fei, I keep my promises—you can have me if you wish."

With that, she threw her arms open and embraced Li Fei.

"Xiangling, you—I—"

Li Fei's mind exploded; his throat went dry, stuttering, unsure of what to say, his hands not knowing where to rest.

As an experienced woman, how could Ruan Xiangling not understand men?

She immediately tiptoed and pressed her cherry lips against Li Fei's.

Boom!

This combination punch was like a royal flush, obliterating the last of Li Fei's rational thoughts.

His head buzzed, and his entire body trembled as he wrapped his arms tightly around Ruan Xiangling's smooth back!

The next second, they both fell onto the sickbed.
