Chapter 9 Pulse Diagnosis and Tuina Massage

  As he listened to Li Zongwei's introduction, Han Ankang didn't have much impression of this top South Korean male artist in his mouth. For him, the stars of South Korea, except for the "Beautiful Legs" era when he was in college and countless boys in school were chasing after them, which consisted of nine beautiful girls, there were really few South Korean stars whose names he could call out.

  Until he followed Lee Chong Wei to the massage room at the venue, Han An Kang also met for the first time Kim Jong Kook, who was called by Lee Chong Wei as the 'Ballad Prince' of South Korea.

  Looking at the somewhat tired but muscular South Korean star in front of him, Han Ankang did not show any surprise. After Lee Chong Wei introduced them to each other, Han Ankang also said with a very calm expression: "Mr. Jin, hello! I'm sorry to disturb you, please don't mind."

  For Lee Jong-weon, who was at the physical therapy center, Kim Jong-kook had met him a few times and thought he was okay. He knew that Lee was Chinese, but he was more interested in the South Korean entertainment industry. So when they first met, Kim Jong-kook was taken aback by Lee's initial enthusiasm.

  As a result of several contacts, Jin Zhongguo felt that Lee Chong Wei's massage had a very good improvement effect on recovering his physical strength, which was greatly consumed in his daily life. Therefore, the relationship between the two is still quite good, but it can't be said to be close friends.

  When Kim Jong Kook found out that Han Ahn Kung was a acupuncture and massage expert who was specially invited by Lee Chong Wei from China, and to some extent his own mentor, he showed great respect towards him. After all, doctors with good medical skills are respected in any country. Moreover, the profession of doctor is also highly respected in South Korea.

  The only thing that made Kim Jong-kook feel a bit curious was that the other person's expression was extremely calm, as if he had never regarded him as a famous artist. For Kim Jong-kook, who is also well-known in South Korea, Han Ahn-kang's composure also made him feel somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

  After all, stars are a very contradictory group. They hope to see everyone screaming for them, but also want to give them some private space. Suddenly, someone who doesn't treat them as stars appears, and they feel that their popularity is not enough, so there are still people who are not interested in them.

  Perhaps seeing the confusion in Jin Zhongguo's eyes, Lee Zongwei explained with a wry smile: "Brother Jin, don't mind him, my friend is only interested in medicine. On our way here, I almost praised you to be a flower, guess how he responded to me."

  Some curious Kim Jong Kook also smiled and said: "It's okay, you can say whatever you want, I don't mind!"

  Li Zongwei finally got an opportunity to tease Han Ankang, and he wouldn't let it slip away. He waited until Han Ankang said that in his eyes, there was only a distinction between the sick and the healthy.

  Kim Jong Kook didn't get angry, on the contrary, he politely said: "It seems that Mr. Han is indeed a dedicated doctor, so I'll trouble you again to help me adjust my body later. This period of participating in a variety show with relatively large physical consumption, I feel that both energy and physical strength are a bit unable to keep up, and I hope Dr. Han can treat me."

  Lee Jong-woo, who didn't bring laughter but instead made Kim Jong-kook look at Han Ahn-gang in a different light, also thought that this world was messed up. Was it possible that when he was with his dead party, the one who was always popular was Han Ahn-gang, who was as gentle as a cloud?

  Facing the polite Jin Zhongguo, Han Ankang still had that calm expression and said: "As a doctor, it's only natural to help patients solve their illnesses. Mr. Jin doesn't mind, please stretch out your left hand, I'll take your pulse first and see what's going on with your body, then I'll tell you what to pay attention to next. Is that okay?"

  As for the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who like to diagnose diseases by feeling the pulse, Jin Zhongguo has some understanding of it. What he can't believe is that with Han Ankang's current age, he looks so young. Is he also a medical master who can diagnose a person's physical health just by feeling the pulse?

  Although he was a bit uncertain in his heart, Jin Zhongguo still politely extended his left hand, and saw the medical demeanor of Han Ankang after feeling the pulse. Jin Zhongguo suddenly felt that this Chinese doctor who spoke Korean fairly poorly might actually have some real skills.

  After a few minutes of feeling the pulse, Han Ankang calmly said after removing his hand from Jin Zhongguo's arm: "From Mr. Jin's pulse, you should pay great attention to physical exercise and personal diet, emphasizing health. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Jin, you should prefer eating vegetarian food more?"

  Kim Jong-kook, who didn't believe that these could be seen from the pulse, thought that this person might not recognize him, but pretended to be so sacred and deceived him. He still nodded and said, "Yes!"

  Seeing Kim Jong-kook nodding, Han Ahn-kang continued: "Actually, Mr. Jin's problem is not that big, you've been insisting on physical training all along, but recently your work schedule should be very busy, plus there have been several times when the physical energy consumed in one day is equivalent to the amount of consumption for several days at ordinary times. This has caused a slight imbalance in the recovery of physical energy, which makes you feel that after completing a physically demanding trip, the next few days' itinerary will make you feel like your physical strength can't keep up, this is normal, don't be too nervous!"

  The only thing I need to remind Mr. Jin is that your recent mental state hasn't been very good, it can be seen from the scattered look in your eyes that you've been working night shifts quite seriously lately. If Mr. Jin trusts my medical skills, next I can give you a few injections to regulate your somewhat disordered circadian rhythms.

  Additionally, after Mr. Jin returns home, try to rest early at night if possible. Without sufficient sleep, no matter how much you exercise, your energy and spirit will not be replenished. Occasionally, I also suggest that Mr. Jin supplement with high-protein foods, preferably wild game.

  "If you can buy genuine wild ginseng, it's also okay to go to a pharmacy and buy some slices to soak in water and drink. This way, you can supplement the yuanqi that is consumed in large quantities every day."

  Han Ankang, who had just finished taking the pulse and saying a string of words, looked at Kim Jong Kook's eyes, which changed from initial confusion to admiration, but didn't say much. He still followed his own principles for diagnosing illnesses, and without holding back, told him all about the symptoms he had discovered through the pulse diagnosis and how to solve them.

  Although he mentioned earlier that his recent fatigue was due to a sudden increase in schedule, even if he persisted in refining himself, he still felt overwhelmed. Moreover, the variety show he is currently participating in is also physically demanding to some extent.

  In addition to his overtime work handling company affairs, only a handful of people know about this. The fact that Han Ankang can mention this point proves that he is indeed quite capable. Moreover, he even mentioned Kim Jong-kook's habit of liking vegetarian food earlier, making it hard for him not to admire!

  With this diagnosis as a basis, Kim Jong-kook also felt a little startled when Han An-ke saw the needle package wrapped around his wrist. Especially when he saw that there were several dozen centimeters long silver needles shining with dazzling light inside the needle package, he became even more worried and afraid.

  Perhaps seeing the worry in Kim Jong-kook's eyes, Han An-ke smiled faintly: "It's okay, this needle won't hurt when it pricks, just relax your body and don't be too tense."

  Just as Kim Jong-kook thought this didn't seem quite right, in the blink of an eye Han Ahn-kang's hand stretched out towards him, and on his arm, which had nothing on it just a moment before, several silver needles were already quivering. And Kim Jong-kook felt no pain at all, as if these needles weren't piercing his body.

  As he watched the silver needles being transferred to his arm, Han Ankang quickly inserted more silver needles into his ankles and wrists. By the time Jin Zhongguo realized that his hands and feet were all stuck with silver needles, Han Ankang's hands had already grasped his feet and started pushing and pulling them up and down.

  As the massage deepened, Kim Jong-kook felt a warm current rising from his feet, and the slight soreness in his calves suddenly dissipated. This alone made Kim Jong-kook feel that the medical skills of this young man were indeed superior to those of the therapist surnamed Li at the club. No wonder the therapist surnamed Li had said earlier that this young man was his mentor!

  Han An-kang was sweating profusely as he gave Jin Zhong-guo a full-body massage. Jin Zhong-guo, who had been energetic just moments before, was now fast asleep on the massage table. Li Zong-wei told Jin's assistant to let him rest for an hour before leaving, saying that the therapeutic effects would be better that way.

  Kim Jong-kook's assistant saw Lee Chong-wei speaking so respectfully in front of Han Ahn-gong, although he didn't know what had happened earlier, but seeing Han Ahn-gong quickly pulling out the needle stuck on Kim Jong-kook and putting it away neatly, also politely expressing gratitude. He agreed to let this boss rest well for a while!

  After dealing with Jin Zhongguo's affairs, Han Ankang suddenly felt that being a star in this era was not easy either. Although the male star surnamed Jin looked robust, Han Ankang had just discovered that his mental and physical energy consumption far exceeded that of ordinary people.

  If you can't replenish some nourishing products for a long time, it's estimated that in the future, when you're old, you'll also fall ill with chronic diseases. However, as an outsider, he doesn't dare to say much about this kind of thing. After all, when he first met Jin Zhongguo, they weren't familiar enough to interfere with each other's private matters!
