Nan Yu placed her hand on Pei Yu's shoulder, with an encouraging look in her eyes.
"Try it the way I told you," she said.
Pei Yu met those gentle eyes and felt a surge of determination. She nodded, "Okay."
Nan Yu spoke softly, "Now, close your eyes."
Pei Yu closed her eyes, becoming extremely sensitive in all her senses. The hand resting on Duan Zhu's wrist could distinctly feel the warmth emanating from Duan Zhu.
Nan Yu's voice came clearly to her ears.
"Gather all your concentration on the two fingers you're using to take the pulse, and try to feel the beats strongly."
Pei Yu sat up straight, trying her best to do as Nan Yu had instructed, focusing all her attention on the pulse under her fingers.
She felt the previously faint heartbeat becoming noticeable, as if it was pulsing right before her eyes.
Nan Yu continued, "Pei Yu, imagine yourself as one of the elements within the patient's pulse, merging with the pulse under your fingers, feeling every difference."
