_{Han Yang covered his mouth, waving his hand as he said, "I'm fine, you two don't have to pay attention to me."}
The following day, Helian Qing took Han Yang to the Traditional Chinese Medical Clinic for his appointment.

Han Yang covered his mouth, waving his hand as he said, "I'm fine, you two don't have to pay attention to me."

_{Helian Qing cursed internally. A hand stretched behind his back, holding Han Yang's hand nestled within his own palm, as he led him to the parking lot.}
During the car ride, Han Yang could not help himself from asking, "Helian Qing, why are you so good to me?"

Helian Qing cursed internally. A hand stretched behind his back, holding Han Yang's hand nestled within his own palm, as he led him to the parking lot.

_{"Then I..."}
"Because I'm a good man." Helian Qing stated in all seriousness.

"Then I..."

_{Never before had someone said such words in such a manner to Han Yang. It appeared like he could hand over all his pain to that man. Looking at said man in the face, Han Yang mumbled, "If I were in pain, what would you do?"}"...ngh!" The feeling of his waist going limp made Han Yang grunt. Both of his hands were pinned at the head of the bed by Helian Qing, while he wriggled incessantly, "Hurry and let me go! You bastard!"

Never before had someone said such words in such a manner to Han Yang. It appeared like he could hand over all his pain to that man. Looking at said man in the face, Han Yang mumbled, "If I were in pain, what would you do?"

_{Letting out a breath, Helian Qing turned to see Chen Qingqing's back facing them as she arranged some things, then lowered his to quickly peck Han Yang on his lips before whispering, " My back is just fine. Aren't you the one who should know that best? Yeah?"}"How was it?" Helian Qing noticed his eyes were fixed on him.

_{However, during the treatment she discovered Helian Qing was probably the one who was more nervous. Every time she stuck in a needle to stimulate an acupuncture point, when Han Yang crinkled his brows from the pain, Helian Qing—from beside him—would rub between his brows, whispering to him to relax, though his voice clearly sounded like he was the one who was even more anxious.}
"Seriously." Han Yang was speechless.

Every time she stuck in a needle to stimulate an acupuncture point, when Han Yang crinkled his brows from the pain, Helian Qing—from beside him—would rub between his brows, whispering to him to relax, though his voice clearly sounded like he was the one who was even more anxious.

_{That very same night after their return, Helian Qing followed the doctor's orders, pressing Han Yang onto the bed, and carefully putting into practice the sentence "More practice is needed for the massages to be effective". It was just that he did not squeeze his leg, but rather a place that cannot be described.}Helian Qing looked him in the eye, then lowered his head and continued to study. Han Yang unexpectedly discovered he knew what that look meant: Did the acupuncture needle prick go all the way up to your brain?

That very same night after their return, Helian Qing followed the doctor's orders, pressing Han Yang onto the bed, and carefully putting into practice the sentence "More practice is needed for the massages to be effective". It was just that he did not squeeze his leg, but rather a place that cannot be described.

_{"It shakes and feels like I'm being stabbed by nails." Han Yang described, "When it's serious, I can't move my legs that much."}However, during the treatment she discovered Helian Qing was probably the one who was more nervous.

"It shakes and feels like I'm being stabbed by nails." Han Yang described, "When it's serious, I can't move my legs that much."

_{"Doctor Chen." Helian Qing nodded to her in greeting, with Han Yang also following suit to say hello.}
"It's because you're irritating." Helian Qing shot him a cold glance, "Your pain-filled groans are so noisy."

"Doctor Chen." Helian Qing nodded to her in greeting, with Han Yang also following suit to say hello.

_{He certainly did not believe Helian Qing did so for those reasons, but regardless of what they really were, it was all okay, but he would just keep that to himself.}"In addition, just being fed medicinal foods is not good enough, later I'll give a TCM decoction for you to drink. This is also a vital part of your recovery, remember to abstain from certain foods." Chen Qingqing urged him, "Tomorrow when you two come back, I'll teach both of you how to do the massages."

He certainly did not believe Helian Qing did so for those reasons, but regardless of what they really were, it was all okay, but he would just keep that to himself.

_{"Your shoulders? Or, perhaps, your spine?" Han Yang thought for a moment, continuing, "How about your waist. You said you sit in the office every day, so those places ought to have given you a bit of trouble."}"Thank you." Helian Qing also said in gratitude.

"Your shoulders? Or, perhaps, your spine?" Han Yang thought for a moment, continuing, "How about your waist. You said you sit in the office every day, so those places ought to have given you a bit of trouble."

_{"Medicated plasters (pain relief patches), or medicinal liquor rubs," Han Yang explained. This was due to those methods being the simplest and cheapest ones to deal with it.}
"I don't groan, alright." Han Yang retorted. It was still not the coldest time as yet, and his legs did not have much of an aching feeling. Furthermore, even if it was that time, he could still endure it.

"Medicated plasters (pain relief patches), or medicinal liquor rubs," Han Yang explained. This was due to those methods being the simplest and cheapest ones to deal with it.

_{"Huh? A sense of shame?" Helian Qing pressed himself closer to him. His hand lingering at the lad's waist soon entering his pyjama bottoms, covering those soft cheeks, pinching them softly as he spoke, "Then what's this thing to be used for, huh? Is it to be sucked? Or is it to be fυсked ^[4]?"}

_{"There might be some pain with some of your acupuncture points, but it'll get better after you're used to it." Chen Qingqing called in the nurse, ordering somethings after she arrived, again saying to Han Yang, "Please, lie down."}
Having arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicinal Clinic, Helian Qing stopped the car and he went in with Han Yang.

"There might be some pain with some of your acupuncture points, but it'll get better after you're used to it." Chen Qingqing called in the nurse, ordering somethings after she arrived, again saying to Han Yang, "Please, lie down."

_{"You look really good." Han Yang smiled, reaching out to smoothen Helian Qing's brows.}Helian Qing used his hand to cover the younger man's mouth, obstructing his speech while saying to Chen Qingqing, "Sorry to trouble you, Dr. Chen."

"You look really good." Han Yang smiled, reaching out to smoothen Helian Qing's brows.

_{After the needles were pulled out, both of the lad's legs had a numb feeling, but there was also a painful bloated sensation.}
Since they had made an appointment with Chen Qingqing, the two followed the nurse to her office.

After the needles were pulled out, both of the lad's legs had a numb feeling, but there was also a painful bloated sensation.

_{His wide-eyed expression looked so incredibly adorable in Helian Qing's eyes, that he simply unable to help himself from moving forward to kiss him, while his fingers rhythmically kneaded the other man's behind, whispering, "Dr. Chen said the massage technique needs a lot of practice to be effective and I learnt it for you, so it's natural that I would use it on your body, don't you think?"}"..." On the bed, Han Yang who was laying on his stomach, rolled his eyes, and regarded himself as a strip of dried salted fish.

In her office, Chen Qingqing was currently writing something down. Upon seeing the two enter, she put away her pen, stood up, then smiled, "You can both come in."

_{"Teach it to me." Helian Qing said from beside him, "I'll help him massage them." Han Yang looked up at him, "I'll do it myself. You have to go to..."}Helian Qing gently rubbed his legs, slanting his head to look at him as he said, "That's what you say to other people. In front of me, you can admit that you're hurting."

_{With a shadow now cast over his eyes, Han Yang lifted his chin by a fraction as Helian Qing descended to kiss his lips, softly—gently.}Chen Qingqing jotted down Han Yang's condition, saying, "Ointments like those can only relieve symptoms, and they won't address the root cause. In addition, a condition such as yours became this severe due to it being delayed treatment for so long."

With a shadow now cast over his eyes, Han Yang lifted his chin by a fraction as Helian Qing descended to kiss his lips, softly—gently.

Helian Qing swept his eyes back at him, "Go inside."

_{"Okay, thank you Dr. Chen."

Helian Qing patted Han Yang, sitting together with him.

_{"Okay, thank you Dr. Chen." Han Yang thanked sincerely.}That man's turning of words against him was the courageous thing, was it not? Due to his pinched lips, Han Yang inarticulately patted on the flattery, "It's mainly Master Helian who pampers me well."

_{"Because I'm a good man." Helian Qing stated in all seriousness.}
Han Yang explained the matter himself, with Chen Qingqing taking notes as she listened across from them, asking a few key questions in between. After she was done with her notes, she put away her book, got up, then said, "I'll take a look at you in the physiotherapy room right next door."

"Because I'm a good man." Helian Qing stated in all seriousness.

_{{...you're so goddamn irresistible!}}Helian Qing groaned faintly, very much satisfied by his flattery. He released the lad's mouth, moving to the foot of the bed before leaning over to look at the needle pricks on Han Yang's legs, "Does it hurt?"

Han Yang not knowing how critical his condition was, followed her to the physiotherapy room, with Helian Qing.

_{His fingers seemed as if they carried an electrical current, bringing a trail of sparks along Han Yang's waist.

Han Yang sat up, pointing to a few places for her to see. Nodding, Chen Qingqing proceeded to press a few acupuncture points on his leg, asking whether he felt anything with each one she pressed. When she pressed a certain acupoint, Han Yang's brows wrinkled slightly, and Helian Qing rubbed the back of his hands to comfort him.

Before they left, Chen Qingqing said to Helian Qing, "More practice is needed for the massages to be effective. If you don't understand something, you can ask me about it tomorrow."

_{{You were better off not learning it!! Han Yang crumbled internally.}}Han Yang, who was laying on the bed, craned his neck in order to look at the earnestly studying Helian Qing, and thinking that he was outrageously cool.

You were better off not learning it!! Han Yang crumbled internally.

_{"We still have a lot of time, so let's try out another technique." Helian Qing pulled down the younger man's pyjama bottoms, parting his legs then ran his fingers upwards from his thigh. Gently nibbling on Han Yang's earlobe, he coaxed gently, "Darling, open your legs a little."}"There's a little numbness." Han Yang answered.

_{Shocked at Helian Qing's level of shamelessness, Han Yang twisted his head to look at that man, utterly speechless! {Where the hell did this man learn such words, huh!}}At the end of the injections, Han Yang's forehead had produced a thin film of sweat. In truth, he could not really say if there was much pain. Though some of the acupoints stung, most simply tingled, and when compared to his flare-ups, they were a lot more tolerable in comparison. It was probably the first time he tried something he was kind of not used to.

_{激素: jīsù: hormone.}Han Yang, who was laying on the bed, craned his neck in order to look at the earnestly studying Helian Qing, and thinking that he was outrageously cool.

激素: jīsù: hormone. I think it means to get a boost (of nerves) from taking steroids. (A testosterone boost I guess?)[]^2. 吹气球: chuī qìqiú: lit. blow balloon. I only found two non-literal meanings, using laughing gas, or a blow job. (I went with the BJ one. I'm still not so sure about this one)[] 么么哒: memedā: it's like "muah" as in a kissing. Can be used casually and is common among couples and close friends, xoxoxo😘. But for this foul-mouthed tsundere it's translated as "sucked" (you know, for context...)[]^4. 啪啪啪: pāpāpā: it's also an onomatopoeia, to refer to the act of sexual intercourse.😊 (It's a SFX for slams, pats, or "pows" etc, so it doesn't always refer to sex, btw)[]I reeeeaaaallly wanted to keep the rhyme of this line since the roundabout way he said got a bit lost in translation.[]Happy 2019 Everyone!!!!!

"Please, explain the situation to me." Chen Qingqing asked.

_{Done with arranging the items, she went over to check Han Yang's leg, asking, "How does it feel?"}
Chen Qingqing explained in simple terms some of the effects the acupuncture treatment would have, chatting beside him so his mood would lighten, and to prevent him from being nervous during his first time in getting the treatment.

Done with arranging the items, she went over to check Han Yang's leg, asking, "How does it feel?"

_{"Okay, thank you Dr. Chen." Han Yang thanked sincerely.}In her office, Chen Qingqing was currently writing something down. Upon seeing the two enter, she put away her pen, stood up, then smiled, "You can both come in."

"Okay, thank you Dr. Chen." Han Yang thanked sincerely.

_{"That's a normal reaction." Chen Qingqing said smilingly, "Acupuncture alone is not enough though, so in a little while I'll teach you a few simple massaging techniques to rub them with when you have some free time. It'll be good for your legs."}
However, during the treatment she discovered Helian Qing was probably the one who was more nervous. Every time she stuck in a needle to stimulate an acupuncture point, when Han Yang crinkled his brows from the pain, Helian Qing—from beside him—would rub between his brows, whispering to him to relax, though his voice clearly sounded like he was the one who was even more anxious.

_{"Thank you." Helian Qing also said in gratitude.}Han Yang heard Helian Qing's voice, which did nothing to mask its adoration, echo beside his ear. It made a light whimper escape him in response, his hand reaching out to gently embrace the man's back.

"Thank you." Helian Qing also said in gratitude.

_{Following behind him, Han Yang's eyes curved into a smile.}
At the end of the injections, Han Yang's forehead had produced a thin film of sweat. In truth, he could not really say if there was much pain. Though some of the acupoints stung, most simply tingled, and when compared to his flare-ups, they were a lot more tolerable in comparison. It was probably the first time he tried something he was kind of not used to.

Following behind him, Han Yang's eyes curved into a smile.

_{Helian Qing moved his hand, pinching Han Yang's mouth as he bent his to look down at him, "You usually eat hormones (steroids), don't you? It looks like you have the courage to blow a balloon^[2]."}
Helian Qing took a paper towel, helping him by wiping away his sweat, very gently. This act made Han Yang recall that time Helian Qing looked after him all night and wiped his sweat away when he was hospitalized with gastroenteritis.

_{"You're welcome," Chen Qingqing replied.}
"How was it?" Helian Qing noticed his eyes were fixed on him.

"You're welcome," Chen Qingqing replied.

"You look really good." Han Yang smiled, reaching out to smoothen Helian Qing's brows.

_{"How should we treat it?" Helian Qing asked, his brows knitted.}At the end of the injections, Han Yang's forehead had produced a thin film of sweat. In truth, he could not really say if there was much pain. Though some of the acupoints stung, most simply tingled, and when compared to his flare-ups, they were a lot more tolerable in comparison. It was probably the first time he tried something he was kind of not used to.

"How should we treat it?" Helian Qing asked, his brows knitted.

Helian Qing cursed internally. A hand stretched behind his back, holding Han Yang's hand nestled within his own palm, as he led him to the parking lot.

The next day, at the same time, Helian Qing and Han Yang again went to the Doctor's Office.

"How should we treat it?" Helian Qing asked, his brows knitted.

_{And so, that strip of salted fish, was sautéed over... and over... again~}
"..." On the bed, Han Yang who was laying on his stomach, rolled his eyes, and regarded himself as a strip of dried salted fish.

And so, that strip of salted fish, was sautéed over... and over... again~

_{Recalling those shameless words of Helian Qing's, Han Yang really did end up burying his face in a pillow while he laughed. This laughter caused the two people busy with teaching and learning beside him to turn towards him in unison.}Because he was to receive acupuncture, the pants he had worn were too thick, and as a result inconvenient, so Han Yang changed into a pair of shorts he had prepared beforehand. Following this, Chen Qingqing asked him to lay down on the bed.

_{"Your shoulders? Or, perhaps, your spine?" Han Yang thought for a moment, continuing, "How about your waist. You said you sit in the office every day, so those places ought to have given you a bit of trouble."}

_{"Hello, you two, please have a seat." Chen Qingqing directed them to their seats with a wave of her hand}"You possess such an outstanding man as me, and yet you just embrace your pillow and chuckle."

_{Helian Qing gently rubbed his legs, slanting his head to look at him as he said, "That's what you say to other people. In front of me, you can admit that you're hurting."}"Mhm." Helian Qing groaned merrily. Having not the slightest feeling of anything he did being inappropriate.

Author's Note:

N/A

Notes:

^1. 激素: jīsù: hormone. I think it means to get a boost (of nerves) from taking steroids. (A testosterone boost I guess?)

^2. 吹气球: chuī qìqiú: lit. blow balloon. I only found two non-literal meanings, using laughing gas, or a blow job. (I went with the BJ one. I'm still not so sure about this one)

^3. 么么哒: memedā: it's like "muah" as in a kissing. Can be used casually and is common among couples and close friends, xoxoxo😘. But for this foul-mouthed tsundere it's translated as "sucked" (you know, for context...)

^4. 啪啪啪: pāpāpā: it's also an onomatopoeia, to refer to the act of sexual intercourse.😊 (It's a SFX for slams, pats, or "pows" etc, so it doesn't always refer to sex, btw)

I reeeeaaaallly wanted to keep the rhyme of this line since the roundabout way he said got a bit lost in translation.

Happy 2019 Everyone!!!!!
