The person collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
This terrified the women. They couldn't continue arguing; if someone died, it would be a huge problem.
"Help! Someone's going to die!" Song Lingling screamed in terror!
"Dong-ge! Don't scare me!" Chen Jianing shouted. What would she do if something happened to this man?
The children inside the house started crying in fear, their cries rising and falling, a little eerie in the quiet night.
Cao Guifen saw her son lying on the ground, struggling with all his might to finally turn over, then fall back to the ground with his eyes closed, unconscious.
The group was in complete chaos when a neighbor sensed something was wrong and knocked on the door.
After seeing the situation inside the house, they helped go to the hospital to call for help, and then they took the person to the hospital.
——
Gu Lingxiao lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a hot towel on his body. As the pain gradually eased, he felt much better and became drowsy. He relied on sheer willpower to keep himself from falling asleep.
Old Master Bai stood to the side, habitually stroking his white beard.
"Great, the effect is better than I expected."
"That's fine. As long as it's effective, you can continue the treatment."
Lu Zhixia glanced down at her watch; it was already past 9 o'clock. She couldn't help but yawn.
I'd usually be asleep by now, but thankfully we've reached the final step and it'll be over in a little while.
"Alright, we can end this now," said Old Master Bai.
Lu Zhixia took the hot towel off Gu Lingxiao's body and noticed that his skin was slightly red. She touched it unconsciously.
His muscles were so hard that he quickly pulled his hand back.
Gu Lingxiao felt the woman's small hands were so soft, and slowly sat up.
"Grandpa, will the treatment be the same tomorrow?"
Grandpa Bai nodded, "It's pretty much the same. The first course of treatment will definitely take longer."
Gu Lingxiao understood the situation, so he got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and put on his clothes, buttoning them up methodically.
Lu Zhixia was almost stunned. After she came to her senses, she quickly turned around. She was a married woman. What hadn't she seen?
This guy is just a little better looking, isn't he?
Gu Lingxiao buttoned up the last button and said to Grandpa Bai,
"That's all for today, we'll be going now."
Old Master Bai was secretly delighted by their reactions, but on the surface he remained serious.
"If possible, come earlier tomorrow. It's really a bit late to be here at this hour."
Gu Lingxiao nodded. Even if his grandfather didn't say anything, he would try to come earlier tomorrow.
"Grandpa, get some rest!" Lu Zhixia said before leaving.
Grandpa Bai waved his hand, saying that this girl really was like his wife, controlling everything he did.
It's so nice to have a granddaughter; it's good to be able to experience this in the last few years of one's life.
He didn't know how old he would live, but he had a peaceful mindset. He believed that one should have drive to live.
Don't overthink or consider things.
Lu Zhixia and Gu Lingxiao walked together in a dimly lit alley. The moonlight was dim tonight, and they could barely see that there was no one in front of them.
She stepped on something and cried out in pain.
Gu Lingxiao caught the person steadily. "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhixia kicked it with her foot and found it was a small stone, so she said to him,
"I must have stepped on a pebble!"
Only then did she notice that she was in the man's arms, and his chest and the flesh on his arms were very hard.
I quickly pushed his hand away to steady myself, feeling a little flustered.
"Can you walk now?" came the man's deep voice.
Lu Zhixia took two steps forward. "If there's nothing else, you can leave."
So they continued walking forward, but Gu Lingxiao led the way.
Lu Zhixia followed silently behind until she successfully got into the car.
Xiao Zhang had already taken a nap. He didn't expect his team leader to be so busy so late. The car lights were already on when he started the car.
Gu Lingxiao felt bad that Lu Zhixia had stayed up so late as well, considering he had been so busy.
"Comrade Lu, thank you for spending time with me today."
"Don't stand on ceremony with me. You know I'm here to learn acupuncture. The fact that you're willing to let me do acupuncture shows your trust in me!"
"You need to practice your acupuncture technique more. I can use you as a test subject."
"Um?"
Lu Zhixia looked at him, and what he said made her unsure how to respond.
Xiao Zhang, who was driving, didn't understand what the captain was saying.
Is this something an outsider should be listening to?
No one spoke after that, and they soon arrived at the bottom of the tenement building.
At this time, it was pitch black all around, and looking up at the tenement building, there were only a few lights on in the houses.
This was the first time Lu Zhixia had come home so late. She had forgotten to bring a flashlight and thought she would have to be careful when she went upstairs.
"I'll take you up!" Gu Lingxiao said, opening the car door.
Seeing that he had already gotten off the bus, Lu Zhixia also got off. It was dark around her, so having someone with her made things a little better.
I thought to myself that I must bring a flashlight tomorrow, I can't make such a silly mistake.
Xiao Zhang watched them get off the bus and then walk inside together.
He opened his mouth, as if to ask when the captain would be coming down.
Then it seems like this question wasn't very good. What exactly is the relationship between this woman and the captain?
They seem quite intimate. Considering the rumors about Gu Lingxiao, isn't he supposed to be aloof from women?
He's not a workaholic, but a ruthless and indomitable ruler.
When a man meets a woman he likes, even the toughest man can become tender and gentle!
