"When we heal... the clothes have to come off..." Sun Jingyan had shed her old disguise as the capable career woman; at this moment she was no different from any ordinary girl. Counting it out, she was only a year or two older than Wei Zhao, so her shyness was only natural.
"Clothes off?" Wei Zhao was taken aback, but then he laughed. "I'm the one taking my clothes off—what would Yao Yao be unhappy about? It's not her undressing! Besides, a doctor's heart is a parent's heart. Back then, Yao Yao was stark naked when I treated her poison!"
"Wei Zhao, it's not you taking your clothes off—it's the two of us taking them off together..." Sun Jingyan explained, blushing. Yet inwardly she was rather surprised: the young lady, who was so conservative—she had actually stripped completely bare in front of Wei Zhao?
Though Sun Jingyan could tell that the young lady was fond of Wei Zhao, fondness did not necessarily mean she would undress before him—after all, the two had not reached that sort of relationship. It seemed the young lady's guard against Wei Zhao was far lower than she had imagined.
"You too?" Wei Zhao was rather startled by her words. "What are you taking your clothes off for?"
"Ordinary healing would not require it, but to repair the meridians and dantian, my true qi must pass through a medium into the acupoints throughout your body, so the clothes have to come off. Otherwise, any obstruction at all, and it fails," Sun Jingyan explained.
"And what is this medium?" The truth dawned on Wei Zhao. He had been judging Sun Jingyan's situation by the logic of his own Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, but though that art and the Sun family's mental cultivation method were similar, they were not the same after all.
"The medium is... water! We have to be together in a sealed pool of water—only then can the treatment be completed," Sun Jingyan said.
The two of them stripped bare, together in a sealed pool of water? Was that not a lovers' bath? Just thinking about it made Wei Zhao feel a certain flirtatious ambiguity. If he had not the slightest feeling for Sun Jingyan, that would be one thing, but unfortunately he did hold some affection for her—after all, being her half-lover was not for nothing; the two of them had been through so much together, and feelings had long since taken root.
"You don't need to worry about Yao Yao and the others' feelings on this—what matters here is your own feelings!" Wei Zhao said with a bitter smile. "You're making such a great sacrifice—why are you still asking after other people?"
"For myself... I am willing..." Sun Jingyan said in a small voice.
Looking at her, Wei Zhao sighed inwardly. It seemed he had incurred yet another debt of love. Now there were Xiaoxiao and Xinyan; and though the young lady and Xiaoshu had not fully revealed their feelings, Wei Zhao could sense them all the same. These things, in the end, would surely have to be repaid.
Still, the Wei Zhao of now had come to terms with things. He no longer had so many misgivings as before. These girls, when he was hurt and in difficulty, could still follow him and help him so unhesitatingly—his heart was not made of iron, so how could he fail to see it?
So Wei Zhao looked at Sun Jingyan and slowly nodded. "Jingyi, rest assured, I will not fail to live up to your feelings!"
