Lin Feng's question was somewhat abrupt, but Xu Jing was indeed in unbearable pain. Hearing Lin Feng's concern, she felt a warmth spread through her heart.

"I'm fine…" Xu Jing forced a smile and said, "Lin Feng, could you get me a cup of hot water?"

Lin Feng felt some things were hard to voice. He simply smiled, then stood up. He found Xu Jing's cup, rinsed it twice with hot water, filled it with boiling water, and placed it in front of her before sitting back down opposite her.

Xu Jing noticed Lin Feng sitting on the sofa for quite a while without leaving. Why is he still here? she wondered. Does he have something to say to me?

"Lin Feng, do you... have something else you want to say to me?" Since Lin Feng had just fetched her water, Xu Jing felt too awkward to directly tell him to return to class, so she asked curiously.

Lin Feng paused, realizing his actions might have caused a misunderstanding. But since Xu Jing had asked, he steeled himself and said, "Teacher Xu, I do have something to ask you... Is your abdomen in severe pain?"

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Xu Jing felt a wave of embarrassment. How does he know my abdomen hurts? she wondered, surprised. Her face instantly turned bright red, and she huffed, "What nonsense are you talking about! I don't have a stomachache!"

Since the words were already out, Lin Feng no longer felt awkward. Hearing Xu Jing's denial, he couldn't help but smile. "Teacher Xu, I've actually studied traditional Chinese medicine. Your complexion and expression have already revealed your physical condition."

"You've even studied traditional Chinese medicine…" Xu Jing looked at Lin Feng curiously. She found it hard to believe that someone as young as Lin Feng could have the dedication to study medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine, which is based on metaphysics—not something ordinary young people could learn.

"Teacher Xu, do you experience abdominal bloating and pain, even unbearable spasms, before and during your period?" Lin Feng asked, bracing himself.

"How do you know?" Xu Jing blurted out in astonishment, momentarily forgetting her embarrassment. Can Lin Feng really diagnose my condition?

"Like I said, I've studied medicine…" Lin Feng looked at Xu Jing confidently and said calmly, "If you trust me, Teacher Xu, I can give you a quick massage now and then prescribe some medicine. I guarantee it will cure you."

Hearing Lin Feng's confident words, Xu Jing couldn't help but hesitate. Lin Feng was right; she had always suffered from severe dysmenorrhea. Before and during her period, her lower abdomen and waist would become particularly painful. She had made countless trips to the hospital for this condition.

The doctors said she had primary dysmenorrhea, explaining it was incurable and could only be managed with painkillers. However, they also warned her not to become overly reliant on medication, adding that this type of dysmenorrhea usually subsides or disappears after childbirth.

But Xu Jing wasn't even dating anyone at the moment, let alone considering childbirth, so the dysmenorrhea naturally continued to plague her. She was astonished and a little suspicious that Lin Feng, this seemingly ordinary student, could not only identify her severe dysmenorrhea but also claim he could cure it.

Lin Feng had expected Xu Jing to react this way. He didn't rush her, simply sitting quietly on the sofa and waiting for her answer.

After a good while, Xu Jing finally came back to her senses. She picked up her cup, took a light sip of the hot water, and asked with feigned composure, "Can you really treat illnesses?"

"I've studied traditional Chinese medicine for many years!" Lin Feng tried to keep his expression natural to avoid giving Xu Jing the wrong impression.

Looking at Lin Feng's calm expression, Xu Jing began to believe he had indeed studied medicine. However, she still found it hard to accept that he could cure her condition. It wasn't as if she hadn't seen traditional Chinese medicine doctors for her dysmenorrhea before; while there had been some effect, it wasn't significant.

"How are you planning to massage me? Do I need to take off my clothes?" Xu Jing asked deliberately, staring at Lin Feng's face.

"No, that won't be necessary!" Lin Feng replied, his expression perfectly composed as he shook his head.

Seeing no ulterior motives in Lin Feng's eyes, Xu Jing finally felt a bit more at ease. After all, he's my student, and I trust his character! Since Lin Feng had put it that way, she figured she should at least give it a try.

"Alright then, you can try to treat me," Xu Jing said with a slight nod.

Seeing Xu Jing agree, Lin Feng felt a surge of excitement. After all, the feeling of being trusted was precious. He said, "Teacher Xu, please try to sit up straight. I'll start by giving you a light massage."

With that said, Lin Feng stood up and locked the office door from the inside to prevent anyone from suddenly barging in and causing a misunderstanding.

When Xu Jing saw Lin Feng lock the door, she clearly understood his reasoning, and her cheeks still flushed a little.

After locking the door, Lin Feng turned around to see Xu Jing already sitting properly, her eyes fixed intently on him. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, his patient was his own teacher, and an exceptionally attractive, unmarried mature woman at that. Her stare made him feel somewhat self-conscious.

Not letting his self-consciousness show, Lin Feng calmly walked over to stand behind Xu Jing and gently placed his palms on her back.

As Lin Feng's palms lightly touched Xu Jing's back, her delicate body trembled slightly before quickly returning to normal.

Although Xu Jing appeared calm on the surface, when Lin Feng's hands gently touched her back, she couldn't stop a blush from creeping up her cheeks. This warm, cherished feeling... I've never experienced anything like it before.

Traditional Chinese medicine posits that "menstrual discharge originates from the kidneys." This means menstrual disorders are directly related to kidney function, as well as the spleen, liver, and the body's qi and blood. Dysmenorrhea is primarily caused by a deficiency in kidney qi and insufficient qi and blood. These issues are compounded by various stresses that lead to liver qi stagnation, thereby impeding the smooth circulation of qi and blood.

According to the theory of the five zang organs in the human body, the liver is associated with Wood, the heart with Fire, the spleen with Earth, the lungs with Gold, and the kidneys with Water. Lin Feng kept his hands on Xu Jing's back, gently kneading and rubbing the areas connected to her kidneys, spleen, and liver. Strands of his Inner Strength seeped through her meridians into these organs.

At first, Xu Jing didn't feel anything in particular, only that Lin Feng's hands were gentle and the way he kneaded and rubbed her back felt very comfortable. With Lin Feng's skill and his refined, handsome looks, if he decided to become a kept man, all those other pretty-boy gigolos would probably lose their jobs, she even mused.

After a little while, an expression of pleasant surprise involuntarily appeared on Xu Jing's face. The faint sensations of bloating, dragging pain, and cramping in her lower abdomen had unknowingly eased considerably after Lin Feng kneaded and rubbed her back for just a short time.

A sensation as cool and refreshing as water spread throughout her lower abdomen, filling her with immense, pleasant surprise.

Seeing Xu Jing's expression, Lin Feng knew the massage was about done. He withdrew his hands and asked with a smile, "Teacher Xu, how do you feel? My technique isn't too bad, is it?"

"It's miraculous! Lin Feng, my stomach feels so much better now!" Xu Jing exclaimed, her face full of amazement and admiration. As she spoke, she rubbed her lower abdomen back and forth with her hands.

Watching Xu Jing rub her stomach right in front of him, Lin Feng's eyes locked onto the sliver of skin revealed where her clothes had slightly ridden up—it was as fair and smooth as snow. He found himself staring, completely transfixed...
