"Alright, alright, I won't mention it again. But you should be a little anxious too, you're already 24, not that young anymore." Yan Xue Mei said helplessly.

"Young man, I can't tell if you can cure illnesses, but I've had this rheumatism for several years now. I've been to the hospital, taken medicine, even Qingquan's grandfather treated me, but it never seemed to get better." Yan Xue Mei said to Ren Feng.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll cure you." Ren Feng smiled faintly.

"Young man, don't boast. I've hired many people to treat me, both Western and Chinese medicine experts, but at most, I felt better for a while, then it relapsed." Yan Xue Mei said, "It's better if you don't treat it; spare the effort. Qingquan already helped me buy the medicine, I'll just make do with these to suppress it for now."

"Auntie, how can that be? I promised Qingquan I would definitely cure your rheumatism." Ren Feng said, "Don't worry, Auntie, just one session, and it won't relapse ever again."

"Just one session, young man, I don't believe you have that capability." Yan Xue Mei shook her head with a smile.

"Mom, even if he can't, let him try." Yu Qingquan chimed in from the side.

"Well then." Yan Xue Mei said, "What should I do?"

"Auntie, please extend your hand first." Ren Feng smiled slightly.

Yan Xue Mei complied, and then Ren Feng reached out to her wrist, checked her pulse, and said to Yu Qingquan: "Go and get a basin of hot water, bring some alcohol and a lighter."

Yu Qingquan softly replied and went to fetch hot water from the kitchen.

"This rheumatism, though not a major illness, is excruciating when it flares up." Yan Xue Mei said, "I'm getting old too."

"How could that be, Auntie? You still look so young." Ren Feng chatted with Yan Xue Mei, and before long Yu Qingquan brought the items.

Then Ren Feng poured alcohol into the hot water, took out a lighter, and lit the mixture. Instantly, flames leapt up, covering the entire surface of the water.

Ren Feng had already taken out his silver needles and said to Yu Qingquan: "Lift Auntie's clothes at the waist."

"Oh." Yu Qingquan complied, and Ren Feng swiftly scooped into the burning flames with his left hand as if scooping the flame itself. His hand appeared to hold a transparent flame, which he then pressed directly onto Yan Xue Mei's acupoint in the waist area.

This step is akin to cupping therapy, except Ren Feng used his hand directly. Combined with the effect of True Qi from inside his body, the results are far greater than ordinary cupping therapy.

As Ren Feng's hand placed itself on, Yan Xue Mei suddenly felt an intensely comfortable heat on her back, along with a tickling sensation like ants crawling, making her feel utterly relaxed.

Ren Feng withdrew his left hand, and the silver needle in his right hand was already precisely inserted into the previous acupoint.

With True Qi infused into the silver needle, as Ren Feng gently twisted the needle, all the energy dispersed throughout the body.

Following the insertion of Ren Feng's needle, Yan Xue Mei felt as if the rheumatism inside her body was awakened, beginning to struggle vigorously.

This sensation was very peculiar, like the sun melting snow.

Ren Feng repeated the process, grabbed the flaming substance again, and pressed it onto Yan Xue Mei's back, before inserting another silver needle.

The benefit of doing this is to maximize the effect and to help Yan Xue Mei recover faster.

Time ticked by, and Ren Feng's treatment lasted for almost five minutes. Finally, six silver needles adorned Yan Xue Mei's back, and the flames on the water surface had vanished.

Watching Ren Feng's actions, Yu Qingquan found it incredible, especially the nonchalant way he handled the fire, as if it posed no danger. However, Yu Qingquan's instincts said that if anyone else did it, their hand would be burned red.

A few more minutes passed, and Ren Feng removed the silver needles.

"Auntie, it's done." Ren Feng smiled slightly, "I've completely removed the cold rheumatism from your body, and it won't relapse again as long as you take good care of yourself."

Yan Xue Mei felt the state of her body, it indeed seemed much lighter, as if something long accumulated had been lifted, making her feel especially relieved.

This feeling was strange but made Yan Xue Mei quite delighted.

"Is it really cured?" Yan Xue Mei's face was full of joy.

Ren Feng nodded.

Yu Qingquan also felt joyous, seeing his mother's illness cured naturally brought him happiness.

"You're such an outstanding young man. By the way, have you had lunch? Why don't you stay for lunch?" Yan Xue Mei said happily.

Stay?

Ren Feng was startled, wouldn't that mean facing a barrage of questions again? He couldn't handle that.

"Auntie, no need, I have some business to attend to; I need to head off."

Ren Feng quickly stood up, the thought of a marriage proposal coming his way was unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable.

"Why are you leaving so abruptly?" Yan Xue Mei frowned slightly, but then said, "Stay for lunch, I'll go buy some fish and duck, let you try my specialties."

"Qingquan, you stay with Ren Feng, while I go buy groceries." Yan Xue Mei hardly gave Ren Feng another chance to refuse, as she planned to change shoes and head out to shop.

"Auntie, really, there's no need. I came specifically to treat you; I truly have errands, next time."

After hearing Ren Feng say this, Yan Xue Mei looked rather apologetic, "You really are making me feel so embarrassed."

Seeing Yan Xue Mei wanting to see him off, Ren Feng quickly said, "Auntie, no need to. Let Qingquan see me off, that's sufficient."

Upon hearing Ren Feng say that, Yan Xue Mei paused, then smiled broadly, "Alright, alright, let Quanquan see you off."

Yu Qingquan felt his face heat up and a rush of shyness within.

The two walked out the door, down the stairs, heading towards the exit of the community.

"Qingquan, I didn't know you had a nickname." Ren Feng chuckled, "Quanquan, it's quite nice."

"That's just what my mom calls me." Yu Qingquan said with a blushing face, "You, you stop calling me that."

"Why can't I call you that?" Ren Feng moved closer to Yu Qingquan, smiling, "Qingquan, do you not want me to call you that?"

Yu Qingquan remained silent, her face flushed.

Ren Feng blinked, "Qingquan, I have something to tell you."

"Wh, what is it?" Yu Qingquan asked softly, not daring even to lift her head, feeling Ren Feng's proximity intimately.

"I think what your mom said is worth considering." Ren Feng extended his hand and lifted her blushing face, "I'm committed to you."

Then, Ren Feng directly kissed Yu Qingquan on the lips.
