Su Ziyang found a life-size acupuncture doll in the clinic and asked Er Biao to demonstrate.

Er Biao explained and demonstrated, and Su Ziyang finally understood the process of this technique.

First, relax the muscles inside your thighs, massaging from the bottom up to the groin.

If you have professional massage skills, you can use some specialized massage techniques. If you don't, just gently massage with the heel of your palm. Then gradually increase the pressure to fully warm up the muscles and massage until they relax. If there are any knots, massage them until they loosen.

You should work both thighs, and the force must be even, without fluctuating between large and small pressures. You should give the muscles a feeling of full relaxation.

After finishing both thighs, relax the position of the pubic symphysis.

If you don't know what the pubic symphysis is, you can look it up online.

This position is the most important, so extra attention should be paid when performing relaxation techniques.

Using the same technique as before, if you know how, you can use some professional massage techniques to relax.

If you're not very good at it, then you should still use the heel of your palm to gently massage, gradually increasing the pressure!

This location is very important. If there are any minor issues with men's health, massaging this area can be very painful, sometimes quite severe.

At this point, you can gently massage it. Once the pain subsides, any prostate issues or other problems will be greatly improved.

After relaxing the pubic symphysis, Er Biao said that it was time to relax the area on the thigh again, especially the groin area.

Then, make sure to relax completely, keeping your thighs relaxed, and at the same time, use gentle techniques to further relax the pubic symphysis.

At this point, you should use a pushing technique to promote the flow of qi and blood in the thighs, pushing upwards.

Push from the thigh towards the groin. When doing this pushing motion, make sure to apply firm pressure. Don't just let the force float on the surface of the thigh; instead, let the force penetrate into the Bones and muscles.

Repeat this upward pushing motion 3-6 times. That should be sufficient. If you have good strength and technique, you can do fewer repetitions. If you have less strength or are less skilled, you can do more repetitions.

Therefore, the technique should be spontaneous and adapted to the specific situation; do not arbitrarily restrict yourself.

The next step is to operate on the greater trochanter of the femur, which is the groin area.

This area also needs to be massaged thoroughly to allow it to relax, but don't use too much force; be slow and gentle.

After that was done, Er Biao's next move really surprised Su Ziyang.

Er Biao said the next step is to work on the pelvic floor muscles, specifically the perineum.

"Big brother, stop, stop, stop!"

Before Er Biao could even begin, Su Ziyang grabbed Er Biao's hand and asked, "What's this? This position... you know, it feels a bit strange for two men to do it together. And it's not appropriate for a man and a woman to do it either. Don't you think so?"

Er Biao waved his hand. "It definitely has to be done by someone of the same sex, just consider it treatment. I don't think there's anything awkward about it. Hey, when you're busy, you don't have time to do this, but today I have to show you my full skills."

"Okay, okay. Brother Biao, please continue."

Su Ziyang gestured for him to proceed.

"That's more like it!"

Er Biao continued, "Relax the muscles in this basin. The technique is similar to what we just did, mainly involving kneading."

Sweeping and dispersing technique is a commonly used massage technique.

Use the radial side of your thumb or the tips of your other four fingers to quickly push and rub back and forth. Of course, when doing this technique, you don't need to be too fast; a moderate speed is fine.

Er Biao also said that this technique has a name: "Flat Ground Tendon Exploration".

Flat Ground Tendon Exploration.

The purpose of this technique is to loosen and alleviate subcutaneous nodules, as well as nodules around the skin as a whole.

At the same time, it can make the massaged area more relaxed and more thoroughly improve the blood circulation of the entire internal structure.

After completing the above technique, the next step is to work on the sides as well, making sure to do it properly.

The positions on both sides are crucial and should not be overlooked.

The next move, Su Ziyang saw Er Biao reach out...

Er Biao said there might be nodules or knots inside. You should use very gentle force to knead them open and relax them.

After that, the next step is to massage the pubic symphysis.

If there's even a slight problem with the prostate, this bone gap will be extremely painful!

Therefore, this area must be pressed properly to allow it to fully relax.

The subsequent techniques became more normal, because the Ren meridian is located along the center of the abdomen.

Therefore, massaging the Ren meridian is also essential, but this procedure does not involve the entire Ren meridian, only the lower abdomen area.

Therefore, during the massage, the main technique is still kneading, and then gently pressing down from the bottom to the top of the pubic symphysis.

Finally, use muscle-relaxing techniques to thoroughly massage the abdomen, waist, and buttocks to finish the treatment.

After Er Biao finished demonstrating, Su Ziyang no longer found it strange, and instead began to observe the feasibility and reliability of this technique from a medical perspective.

After thinking it over, Su Ziyang felt that this idea made sense.

In fact, whether the tendons can stretch or contract, and their length and size, are mainly determined by the supply of qi and blood.

"Brother Biao, what you said makes sense. I support you. But I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should!"

Su Ziyang said very seriously.

"Ah! Just say it! I can't stand you intellectuals, all that 'speak or not speak' stuff, all that fancy stuff!"

Er Biao gestured for Su Ziyang to speak frankly.

"Your technique sounds quite good. Did your embroidery needle... heal it? Hahaha!"

After Su Ziyang finished speaking, he covered his mouth and burst into laughter.

"Su Ziyang, you son of a bitch! You idiot!!!"

Er Biao thought Su Ziyang was going to say something serious, and angrily cursed.

"Stop, stop, stop!!! Don't attack!" Su Ziyang laughed as he dodged, "Well, since you taught me a move, I'll teach you one too! It's related to this!"

"Sure." Although Er Biao was a rough man, he was the kind of person who was rough around the edges but meticulous inside, like Zhang Fei embroidering. Er Biao never refused to learn, which was what Su Ziyang valued most.

Su Ziyang's explanation was simple, Er Biao listened with great interest.

"Next, I'll talk about one of the world's most famous exercises!!!"

Seeing Er Biao's admiring gaze, Su Ziyang smiled mysteriously and recounted the famous Kegel exercise.

"Is this any good, Brother Biao?"

After Su Ziyang finished speaking, he started boiling water to make tea. Er Biao Er Biao silent, pondered for a while, and then suddenly said, "Brother, you know this is so advanced, aren't you afraid of practicing it often?"

"Hahaha." Su Ziyang laughed, "So what? I'm just practicing. I have a girlfriend, hehe!"

Er Biao, who had originally intended to outsmart Su Ziyang, was instantly dealt a critical blow. "Fine. I'm leaving, you almost killed me with your showmanship!"

Actually, all the methods mentioned above were taught by Mr. Mengfei.

After Fairy Li hid Su Ziyang's three books on bedroom arts, Su Ziyang told Mr. Mengfei about it.

It shocked Su Ziyang to no end at the time.

Er Biao pretended to leave, but Su Ziyang Er Biao stopped him.

"Don't go. I have something to tell you. After we finish, I won't even ask you to stay for dinner."

After pouring tea for Er Biao Er Biao, Su Ziyang handed him a document containing Eight and a Half Locks that he had printed out.

After carefully reading two pages, Er Biao exclaimed, "Great!"

Su Ziyang let Er Biao take a look first, and then demonstrated to Er Biao how to make this thing and what kind of technique to use.

For example, the Butterfly Technique, etc...

"Interesting. It seems my progress will never catch up with yours."

Er Biao said in shock.

"Brother Biao, do you know why I'm willing to teach you everything I know?"

Su Ziyang suddenly became very serious, Er Biao took a sip of tea and also became serious. "You say it, brother."

"I hope that these things can be carried forward and passed down in your hands. It's impossible for me to master all the techniques to the highest level by myself; human experience is limited."

"Take this Eight and a Half Locks for example. If you use it frequently, your proficiency will definitely surpass mine. You might even reach the pinnacle."

Er Biao nodded. "Understood, brother. Then I won't let you down!"

Er Biao picked up his teacup, held it like a wine glass, and clinked it against Su Ziyang's.

"Okay. Let's go out for a nice meal tonight. Even though I can't drink right now, I can still chat and joke around! Is that alright? Hahaha!"

"OK!"

When the two of them ate together, they naturally focused on eating skewers.

Er Biao drank alcohol, Su Ziyang drank a beverage. The two of them drank together and still enjoyed themselves immensely.

"Let me tell you, brother, I've been really busy lately, but I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be dealing with medical disputes!"

Er Biao drank a few bottles of wine and got a little tipsy.

"Drink less, Brother Biao. Drink until you're satisfied!"

Su Ziyang chuckled and picked up a skewer of kidneys, stuffing it into his mouth.

"Just seeing you makes me happy! Come on, let's have a toast!"

When Er Biao returned the next day, he was still quite drunk. Su Ziyang gave Er Biao a hangover pill he had made before letting Er Biao get in the car.

As soon as Su Ziyang got home, he received a call from Fairy Li: "Xiao Xiao Su, my brother wants to see you. Get ready. We might arrive tomorrow."

"Sister, why are you tipping us off?"

"Shh, that's all for now, Xiao Xiao Su. I'm hanging up, my brother's coming!"

Fairy Li's voice trailed off rapidly, and she quickly hung up the phone.

Upon hearing this news, Su Ziyang inexplicably became nervous. Meeting the parents—how could anyone not be afraid?

"Master, Master! Help!"

Su Ziyang called Mr. Mengfei, Mr. Mengfei, upon hearing Su Ziyang cry for help, immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong, Ziyang?"

"Master, Zijun's brother wants to see me."

If you need anything, just ask your master; you can't go wrong.

"Um... you're meeting your brother-in-law? That's pretty scary. Brothers-in-law are usually very protective of their own and might punish you, but don't worry, he's just trying to scare you. He mainly wants you to be nice to Li Zijun. So don't be afraid. Just make sure he gets drunk. You can't drink anyway, so just use your words to get them involved."

Mr. Mengfei seemed to be very experienced, and he lectured Su Ziyang at length...

"It's alright. As long as Xiao Zijun protects you, her brother definitely won't make things difficult for you."

"Master, I have a question." After listening to a long lecture, Su Ziyang asked very quietly.

"Go ahead and tell me," Mr. Mengfei said, seemingly still wanting to continue his long-winded explanation.

Su Ziyang pondered for a moment, then said into the phone, "Does my master's wife also have an older brother?"

... beep beep beep...

The phone was busy, so Mr. Mengfei hung up immediately.

Am I asking the wrong question?

Su Ziyang put down the phone, looking puzzled and completely innocent.

The next afternoon, three people appeared in front of Su Ziyang.

There were two men and one woman. Su Ziyang knew the woman; Fairy Li and Li Zijun.

Even without Fairy Li's introduction, judging from their appearances alone, the two men must be Fairy Li's two older brothers.

Fairy Li is beautiful, and her two older brothers have a kind of refined yet roguish charm.

"Brothers." Su Ziyang forced a smile and greeted Fairy Li's two older brothers.

"Hello. I'm Zijun's older brother, my name is Li Zinian."

"Hello, I'm Zijun's brother, my name is Li Zijian."

The two men weren't as scary as Su Ziyang had imagined, so Su Ziyang quickly shook hands with his two older brothers.

"Brother, I've made a reservation at a restaurant. It's almost lunchtime, let's go eat."

Su Ziyang didn't know what to say, and felt it was strange that the two of them were staring at him like that, so he suggested that they go eat.

"Let's go, let's go, brother."

Fairy Li grabbed one of her brothers' hands and pulled them out, while Su Ziyang quietly followed behind. Fairy Li turned around, made a face at Su Ziyang, and softly said, "Don't worry."

At the restaurant, Su Ziyang's two brothers-in-law clearly weren't interested in eating, but they didn't engage in the typical, mundane questions about cars and houses that most people ask when they meet.

"Brothers, please eat. I'll pour you some wine. As for me, there's a taboo in our sect that I can't drink alcohol. So please understand, brothers."

Su Ziyang respectfully poured wine for his two brothers-in-law, neither of whom spoke.

Fairy Li glanced at her two older brothers and said, "Right, Xiao Xiao Su can't drink. You two have some."

The two men came intending to get Su Ziyang drunk, but when they arrived, they discovered that their brother-in-law couldn't drink. It was like punching a cotton ball.

The two exchanged a glance, then picked up their glasses and took a small sip.

"Brother, why aren't you two saying anything? Why are you so silent?"

Li Zijun never forgets to eat; she's holding half a crab in her hand, fiddling with her chopsticks.

"What are you saying? You're siding with outsiders, not with either of us. If I tell him off, and he calls later, you'll just yell at me again."

Second Brother Li Zijian said.

"No way!" Fairy Li stuck out her tongue and went back to eating crab.

"Alright, stop being so serious. As long as my sister is happy, that's all that matters. Su Ziyang, we don't have any other requests. We're just happy as long as you're good to my sister."

The eldest brother spoke much more steadily than the Second Brother, raising his wine glass to Su Ziyang.

"Definitely, definitely."

Su Ziyang drank a cup of tea respectfully, using it as a substitute for wine.

"If we find out you've done something to wrong my sister or made her suffer, don't blame us then."

My eldest brother is the type of person who speaks frankly from the outset and avoids conflict later, always making things clear beforehand.

"No, I'm so honored that you two brothers are coming. I can't guarantee anything else, but I promise I'll treat Zijun well for the rest of my life. Is that alright?"

Su Ziyang stood up and poured wine for the two of them, while he poured himself a full cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Fairy Li looked at Su Ziyang's statement with sparkling eyes, gazing at Su Ziyang with happiness.

"Look, look. My sister's eyes are only on this boy. Besides being handsome, I haven't seen any of the good qualities she mentioned about him!"

The Second Brother patted his older brother and muttered to himself.

"Never mind, he seems pretty honest. As long as my sister's happy! As long as she's happy!"

Su Ziyang was sweating profusely during the meal, afraid that he might say something wrong and his two older brothers would suddenly attack him!

"Alright. We're full, you two can go take a stroll. We have some important business to attend to here. We're not playing with you two anymore."

"Second Brother, you're leaving now?" Fairy Li seemed a little reluctant to Second Brother.

Second Brother Li Zijian patted Fairy Li's head. "I'll be back when I'm done with my work. Kid, treat my sister well, or I'll give you a piece of my mind!"

"Yes, yes!"

Su Ziyang watched his two older brothers leave, then wiped the sweat from his brow.
