Chapter 270: Regret

It was snowing heavily outside. At this time, not to mention going down the mountain to drive, even the owner of the nearby manor would find it difficult to come over.
If Shi Man carried him down the mountain alone, they might both fall down the mountain if they were not careful.
Shi Man knew how dangerous this was and did not insist on leaving with him. She could only try her best to make him feel better.
She put out the fire and helped him back to the guest room. She started to take off his clothes.
Yi Zheng held her hand on his chest, her figure reflected in his dark eyes. “I’ll do it myself.”
Shi Man ignored him. She unbuttoned his shirt and took off his clothes. As she took them off, she said matter-of-factly, “Haven’t you heard of this saying? In the eyes of doctors, there’s no difference between men and women.”
Yi Zheng smiled with difficulty. There was a hint of playfulness in his scarlet eyes. He suddenly opened his arms and let her play with him.
Shi Man removed his clothes quickly and avoided his important parts with a calm expression. She stripped him naked without looking sideways and threw him into the bathroom.
The guest room in this manor did not have such a bathtub. One could only stand and shower.
She pushed Yi Zheng under the showerhead and was about to turn on the tap to fill the water.
At this moment, Yi Zheng’s blood seemed to be flowing with a ball of fire. His manic emotions were anxious for him to find an opening to vent.
He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pushed her out of the bathroom. He closed the door and panted heavily. “Stay away. Don’t come over.”
Shi Man stared suspiciously at the blurry figure on the glass door and frowned in confusion. “Then don’t shower for too long. I’ll go see if there’s anything here that can be used. I’ll come back to look for you later.”
“Okay,” Yi Zheng replied in a low voice. Only when the footsteps outside were getting further and further away did he impatiently turn on the tap and let the cold water extinguish the flames in his body.
After leaving the guest room, Shi Man called the owner of the manor and asked about the location of the medical box.
Fortunately, the owner of this shop had a habit of nourishing his health. He always had a set of silver needles at home that could be used by doctors when they came to perform acupuncture.
After disinfecting the needles seriously, she took a few food items from the kitchen and brought them back to the guest room.
At this moment, the sound of the water in the bathroom was still splashing. Shi Man estimated the time and could not help but knock on the door to remind him after putting down her things. “You should be almost done. It’ll backfire if you continue to drench yourself in cold water.”
After saying that, she paused slightly, but the sound of water in the bathroom did not stop.
She suddenly felt a little uneasy and raised her hand to knock on the door hurriedly. “It’s time to come out. Yi Zheng, what’s wrong?”
Other than the sound of splashing water, there was no other sound.
Shi Man panicked. Ignoring the fact that the person inside was not dressed yet, she opened the door and rushed in.
In the bathroom, the showerhead seemed to be raining heavily. There was so much water on the floor that it reached his ankles. The man lying unconscious on the ground seemed to have been abandoned in a storm. He allowed the cold water droplets to hit his body, leaving red marks on his pale skin.
Seeing the man who had fainted on the ground with her own eyes, she frowned tightly. She carried him out of the bathroom and threw him onto the bed. She took a deep breath and began to perform acupuncture.
Yi Zheng’s relapse was more serious than ever. The fundamental reason was that Shi Man had once poisoned him to stall for time and protect the Shi family.
At that time, she did not think that their relationship might ease in the future. She only thought that she could use the opportunity to treat him to control him so that he could not do anything to the Shi family.
If not for that, Yi Zheng would have recovered long ago.
She was the one who had caused him to suffer this time.
Looking at his pale and almost transparent skin, Shi Man’s heart ached for no reason. It was as if fate had played a big joke on her and made her regret it one day because of a man.
Shi Man’s hand trembled slightly as she performed the acupuncture. She forced herself to calm down and temporarily put everything aside. She only treated the man in front of her as a patient who had nothing to do with her.
However, when her cold fingers accidentally brushed against his hot skin, her heart still skipped a beat, and her silver needles almost went askew.
She did not dare to touch him again and focused on treating him. It was only when it was over that the taut string in her mind suddenly snapped.
After removing the silver needles, the burning temperature in Yi Zheng’s body gradually subsided, and his heartbeat and pulse stabilized.
Shi Man ate something to replenish her strength with a straight face. She was so tired that she lay on the side. She originally only wanted to sleep for a while, but because of the steady and peaceful breathing beside her, she fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she was holding a warm object in her arms.
She suddenly opened her eyes, her dark eyes filled with panic. Looking at the handsome face in front of her, Shi Man smiled awkwardly and tried to make up for it for herself as if nothing had happened. “I’ve said before that there’s no gender difference in the eyes of doctors. Don’t think too much!”
Yi Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled.. His gaze landed on her arm around his waist and he asked playfully, “Is this also part of your treatment?”
