Seeing the report that Zou Moali had provided, Qin Jiang also fell silent.
So this is what young people are like?
It’s terrifying.
Especially when Qin Jiang saw the amount of bleeding, he immediately realized that even though she was bleeding, Yuan Yan still hadn’t let Cui Guang off the hook.
No wonder Cui Guang had come running to beg him for help. Yuan Yan’s condition was already quite severe.
Seeing Qin Jiang staring at the report without saying anything, Yuan Yan couldn’t help but ask, “Doctor, there’s nothing wrong with me, is there?”
“I’ve never fooled around outside. I’m very clean. I don’t have some kind of disease, do I?”
Qin Jiang cleared his throat, held up the report, and said:
“Your problem isn’t anything major. You just have a few minor tears down below. What you need to be careful about is not irritating it anymore.”
“Your biggest issue is your personal desire problem. In the words of our Chinese medicine, this is called being ‘lustful as your life depends on it.’ In Western medicine terms, it’s called sex addiction.”
“Huh?”
Hearing Qin Jiang say this, Yuan Yan’s face immediately turned red.
This… how could there even be a disease like this?
Even for a relatively outgoing girl like Yuan Yan, hearing Qin Jiang say this was incredibly awkward.
“Doctor, are you sure you’re not mistaken? How could I possibly have a disease like that? I… I’m usually pretty restrained.”
After all, she was a girl. She cared about saving face.
If anyone else found out she had this kind of problem, who knows what they would say.
If this were back in the old days, she might even have been put in a duck cage and drowned.
Seeing Yuan Yan’s reaction, Qin Jiang said very seriously, “This is a disease. You need to face it head-on. Don’t feel embarrassed about it.”
“There are many possible causes for this kind of illness right now. It could be the influence of hormones in your body, or it could be affected by environmental and psychological factors.”
“But no matter which influence it is, you need to learn to control yourself. You can’t keep indulging in pleasure without restraint like before.”
“Just look at your boyfriend. Look what you’ve done to him.”
Yuan Yan glanced at Cui Guang, who immediately flinched and curled up into a ball.
This was a classic sign of severe kidney energy deficiency in Cui Guang – sensitivity to light and becoming timid.
When the live stream viewers saw this, they too started commenting with surprise.
“Wow, I never thought it would be a disease like this. No wonder her boyfriend used to be a sunny, cheerful guy and now looks like a goblin.”
“Isn’t this just a modern-day version of a succubus? That’s intense!”
“Intense, my foot. Even if she were a real succubus, do you have enough kidneys to conquer her?”
“Wasn’t there a woman like this before? Her boyfriend ran an entertainment company?”
“It’s different. Yuan Yan’s condition is clearly much more severe.”
“Sigh, before marriage, Aunt Flo is a roadblock; after marriage, Aunt Flo is a savior. The ancients didn’t lie to us.”
As the viewers were all commenting, Yuan Yan hadn’t expected that the problem really was with her.
She had always thought that kind of activity was a way for couples to express their love for each other.
So every time Cui Guang refused, Yuan Yan felt he didn’t love her anymore.
Only now did Yuan Yan understand that she had been the one tormenting Cui Guang all along.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yan asked, “Dr. Qin, can this disease of mine be cured?”
“It can only be managed and regulated.”
Qin Jiang explained: “The Way of Heaven is to reduce the surplus and supplement the deficiency.”
“The Way of Man is to reduce the deficiency and supplement the surplus.”
Yuan Yan was completely confused.
“Dr. Qin, what do you mean by that?”
Qin Jiang patiently explained: “What I mean is, the way of health preservation, the Way of Heaven, generally involves taking what you have in excess and using it to make up for what is lacking.”
“For example, consider the three treasures of a person: essence, energy, and spirit. When essence is sufficient, energy naturally becomes sufficient. When energy is sufficient, spirit naturally becomes sufficient.”
“So, look at those true Taoist priests who cultivate themselves in the mountains. Some of them can even stop eating grains entirely and just practice fasting, yet their mental state is still very full and vibrant, very healthy.”
“This is because they have always held fast to their original nature, without depleting themselves, and this is the natural result.”
Yuan Yan nodded, though she only half understood.
The Taoist priests she remembered did indeed seem like that.
White hair and a youthful complexion. In their sixties or seventies, yet their bodies were still as healthy as a young man’s.
“But when people do things, it’s precisely the opposite of the Way of Heaven.”
“The more deficient a person is in something, the more they tend to use it.”
“For example, right now both you and your boyfriend are severely deficient in kidney energy, but you two just can’t stop. Why is that?”
“This is what Taoism calls the Way of Man: the more deficient you are, the more you use.”
“So only by understanding this principle can you muster the determination to quit. Once your kidney energy slowly recovers and gradually becomes abundant, you naturally won’t think about this kind of thing anymore.”
Qin Jiang’s words made Zou Moali, standing off to the side, light up.
The reason Chinese medicine has never been able to be widely promoted is that it has its own philosophical system embedded within it.
For instance, this idea of the Way of Heaven and the Way of Man is purely Taoist thought. Logically, it shouldn’t have anything to do with medicine.
But applying this Way of Heaven and Way of Man to Yuan Yan’s situation fit perfectly, and was exactly right.
Why were there so many upright and principled people in older generations?
Even though they also got married and had children, they never indulged in endless pleasures and dissipation like young people today.
Why? Because back then, entertainment wasn’t as developed, and there were fewer temptations.
So they focused on their work and their lives. Their kidney energy wasn’t depleted. Even with a normal married life, they were very restrained, unlike young people today who casually talk about doing it seven times a night.
The live stream viewers also seemed to grasp something.
“So there’s a vicious cycle with this kind of thing. No wonder my mind wanders to these thoughts all day long.”
“I actually have a say in this matter. I used to be just like you guys, impulsive, and I liked rewarding myself. But ever since I fell in love with working out, I just don’t have the energy to do that anymore.”
“This is true. People who are truly busy don’t have time to reward themselves. Take the senior student in my dorm who’s applying for his PhD. He falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, and as soon as he wakes up, he’s off to the library. He’s genuinely busy.”
“Master, I have seen the light! Starting today, I’m giving up sex!”
After clearly explaining what Yuan Yan’s illness was, Qin Jiang pointed to the QR code on the table.
“The consultation fee is 2500 total. You can scan the code and pay.”
“In a moment, I’ll prescribe you some medicine and give you a few acupuncture needles to help regulate things.”
“Remember what I said: don’t look at random stuff on the internet, control the desires in your heart, and be disciplined.”
Yuan Yan nodded, her face still red.
“I understand, Dr. Qin. I will definitely be careful from now on.”
Cui Guang, sitting to the side, breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Thank goodness Yuan Yan’s problem had finally been diagnosed. Otherwise, he didn’t know how much longer he could hold out.
Yuan Yan took out her phone and scanned the code to pay.
