Chapter 669: Chapter 0670: Treating Birthmarks

The apartment was not very large; it comprised a small living room, a small dining area, one master bedroom, two smaller guest rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom, totaling about eighty square meters.

However, it was quite comfortable for Xiao Mei, who lived there alone.

As Ye Qiu entered the apartment and sat down on a set of modern European-style sofas, Xiao Mei asked, "Mr. Ye, what would you like to drink?"

"Anything is fine."

Xiao Mei went to the fridge and took out a bottle of orange juice.

Living alone, Xiao Mei had stocked up on a variety of beverages in the refrigerator, but of course, her favorite drink was still coffee.

After sitting down next to Ye Qiu, Xiao Mei asked, "Mr. Ye, can you really cure diseases?"

"Curing diseases is my main job; designing lingerie is just a hobby,"

said Ye Qiu.

This surprised Xiao Mei!

She had thought that someone as skilled in fashion design as Ye Qiu must spend a lot of time researching it, but as it turned out, that was not the case—it was merely a minor hobby for Ye Qiu.

"So you usually treat people’s illnesses?"

"I’ve treated quite a few, including the young Miss of the Shen Family. I met her and her sister while treating her,"

At that moment, Xiao Mei realized that Ye Qiu’s acquaintance with the Shen CEO and her sister was not from an original meeting but through providing medical treatment.

Some time ago, Xiao Mei had heard about the affairs of the young Miss Shen Xingru and her former husband, and she knew about the severe illness the Director Shen had earlier. She had heard it had been fully cured, but she hadn’t expected that it was Ye Qiu who had cured her.

If that was the case, Xiao Mei knew that Ye Qiu must possess medical skills and that his skills might be quite profound.

"Now that no one else is here, you can let me see your birthmark."

Knowing Ye Qiu’s identity as a doctor, Xiao Mei no longer felt as awkward and hesitant as before, and she took off her white collar suit dress to reveal a large area on her back.

What Ye Qiu did not expect was that Xiao Mei’s birthmark extended from under her neck to her back, and even to her shoulders, covering a third of those areas with the black birthmark.

Many people have birthmarks, but while some people have small ones that don’t significantly affect their lives, others have birthmarks on visible areas like the face, hands, or thighs, which, if exposed, can undoubtedly have a major impact on a person’s education and life.

Birthmarks can generally be divided into pigmented types and vascular types. Common pigmented types include Ota nevus, congenital melanocytic nevi, café au lait spots, etc.; vascular types include port-wine stains, strawberry hemangiomas, etc. Birthmarks might be discovered at birth or could gradually appear several months thereafter.

The incidence of birthmarks in newborns is about 10%, which means they are quite common, and most birthmarks are merely cosmetic and require no special treatment.

However, some birthmarks are associated with abnormalities in body organs and even the potential for malignancy, requiring active treatment. For example, some rapidly growing hemangiomas can cause limb deformities and functional impairments. If a hemangioma expands too quickly, it can lead to tissue necrosis, excessive consumption of platelets, and a reduction in clotting ability leading to uncontrollable bleeding. Some hairy nevi of Ito, which look like animal hides, might eventually turn into malignant melanomas, leading to death after the cancer cells metastasize.

In Xiao Mei’s case, a fist-sized birthmark appeared on her buttocks shortly after she was born. This birthmark seemed to grow slowly, extending upward to her shoulders and even under her neck.

"Has it always been there?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"No, it was just fist-sized on my buttocks when I was born."

Ye Qiu looked and indeed noticed a very dark birthmark on Xiao Mei’s buttocks, almost ink-black in color.

It was evident that the earlier the birthmarks appeared, the darker their color would be, up to her neck where the color wasn’t very deep, likely having grown in recent years.

Possibly recalling her past, Xiao Mei’s emotions seemed somewhat troubled.

"What’s wrong?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"It’s nothing."

Xiao Mei had things on her mind, including some past sadness, but since she wasn’t close to Ye Qiu, she didn’t want to share it.

"Haven’t you seen a doctor?"

Ye Qiu asked again.

"When I was young, we were poor and only saw some Chinese medicine practitioners who used some ointments, but it was useless, and the birthmark didn’t fade away. After I started working and had some money, I thought about getting cosmetic surgery at a beauty clinic, but after getting examined at a hospital, the doctors said that these birthmarks had merged with the body so deeply that even if they cut off a chunk of flesh from my back, it might just grow back, so it was all useless," Xiao Mei said.

If it were just a small and superficial birthmark, it would have been easy to cut it off.

But this large birthmark had merged with the layer of skin and even the blood vessels underneath, making it virtually impossible to remove through cosmetic procedures.

However, it was still alright since it hadn’t all surfaced or become visible externally. Otherwise, Xiao Mei knew life would be unbearable.

Seeing herself glance occasionally at her chest, Xiao Mei asked timidly, "Can it be treated?"

Xiao Mei prepared to put her sheath dress back on.

"If it were someone else, it definitely couldn’t be treated unless they replaced all the skin and flesh on your body. But for me, it’s quite easy to cure," Ye Qiu spoke.

"Really? What medicine should I take?"

Xiao Mei asked anxiously.

"No need for medicine, no need for injections. I’ll treat you, and a few sessions should do the trick!"

Hearing Ye Qiu say that, Xiao Mei felt as if she were listening to one of those street-corner veteran doctor advertisements, wondering if it could really be true?

Seeing the doubtful look in Xiao Mei’s eyes, Ye Qiu said, "I can treat the birthmark on your neck today and make it disappear completely very soon!"

While Xiao Mei was still somewhat incredulous, Ye Qiu said, "Just close your eyes, turn your back to me, and I’ll make the birthmark on your neck disappear first. If it really disappears, I’ll continue the treatment; if not, I’ll leave right now."

Xiao Mei believed that Ye Qiu wouldn’t dare mess around.

As she sat there, back turned to Ye Qiu, he moved closer to Xiao Mei, then placed his hand on her neck.

This particular birthmark was just slightly dark, not ink-black like the one on her buttocks. However, if it were exposed, it would be very noticeable compared to Xiao Mei’s other fair and smooth skin.

Ye Qiu placed his hand there, and without letting go, he didn’t touch that part of the skin; while Xiao Mei had her eyes closed, she felt a coolness on her neck, as if she were holding a piece of ice against it in the summertime.

About fifteen minutes later, Ye Qiu said, "It’s done."

"It’s done?"

Xiao Mei had noticed that Ye Qiu hadn’t brought anything over, nor had he applied any medicine, so could the birthmark have really disappeared?

"Shall I get a mirror to show you if it has indeed disappeared?"

Xiao Mei hurried back to her master bedroom, got a small mirror, and then, as Ye Qiu held the mirror for her to look, she saw that the area above her neck, that whole patch of birthmark, had indeed completely vanished.

Now the skin there was as smooth, fair, and elastic as the rest of her skin without any birthmarks.
