After the initial fuss, Su Yayan had smoothly inserted the needle into its designated space. All the other needles after that were just as chaotic as well.
In the beginning, Ning Qirui was still fussing around and refused to be cooperative, until he realized that no one was on his side and no matter how much he fussed around he could not escape from Su Yayan. Then, he abandoned himself to despair and closed his eyes to ‘see no evil’.
On the other hand, Su Yayan was getting better at her acupuncture skills after a few needle-related ‘trials, errors, and accidents’. Up till the end of the treatnt, Ning Qirui could no longer feel any pain, and the mistake at the beginning was no longer happening.
The subtle fragrance of wormwood that filled the ward was so calming and soothing it begun to cause drowsiness.
When Su Yayan removed the acupuncture needles from Ning Qirui’s back, he was sound asleep.
It was just that, the traces of tears around his faintly blushed cheeks paired with the innocent yet pitiful facial expression on his face made him looked like… Cough cough, like he was aggressively worked hard on.
It was not wrong to say that he had been worked hard on, since it did require hard work for Su Yayan to insert so many needles on his back, causing the two sideline observers to tremble with fear.
Ning Siyuan, who was at Su Yayan’s side anxiously took a step forward as she was keeping her needles. “You’re… Done?”
“Yeap.” Su Yayan retrieved her pouch, lightly exhaled, and said, “This is only the first treatnt. I wasn’t very well prepared this round, but I’ll co back for another round of acupuncture and moxibustion, then, I’ll only need to co by twice a week after that.”
Ning Siyuan stared incredulously at Su Yayan when he heard that she needed to do all these again in the next two days, but his face softened when he heard the rest of her sentence.
“Other than acupuncture, it’s important for Ning Qirui to be extrely careful about what he eats or drinks. No alcohol, no provocative foods but you can have more protein like fish, eggs, dairy products…”
Su Yayan sighed after she was done as she had suddenly rembered sothing. “You know what, It’s fine, don’t think y’all would know clearly anyway. I’ll take charge of his als. From today onwards, send soone to my house to collect Chinese dicinal cuisines. I don’t have ti to send it over every day.”
“Chinese dicinal cuisines?”
“Weren’t you curious about how I will help you feel better? This is my way of doing things – acupuncture treatnt paired with eating Chinese dicinal dishes, but I’ll give you and your family a heads up that it would take a long treatnt period since your brother’s sickness is severe.”
The hand that was hanging by Ning Siyuan’s side was clenched tight. As long as his brother could get better, ti would not be an issue. They could afford to wait, they could also afford to waste ti, as long as he was on the road to recovery.
“We’re counting on you, Ms. Su. Could you please leave us your contact number later? I’ll send soone over to collect the food.” Ning Siyuan paused. “About the price …”
Su Yayan smirked. “It’s okay, you don’t have to pay for the food. My family eats too, and I’m just setting aside a portion for him. I’ll need President Ning, later on, to keep an eye on him, just in case he thinks I’m poisoning him and throws away my food, then I won’t know how to help him anymore.”
Ning Siyuan felt a little awkward after hearing her, so he asked cautiously, “If you don’t mind asking, what’s the matter with you and Qirui, Ms. Su? Qirui seed to…”
Su Yayan knew what he was asking, emotions flashed through her eyes when she smiled humorlessly. “Honestly? I have nothing against him, it’s my second ti eting him today, the first ti was at East City when I advised him to get a body check-up.”
“So it could be that Qirui was upset because of the things Ms. Su said to him the other day…?”
