Chapter 114 Ningning, I am a normal man
Hegu acupoint is located between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal bones on the dorsum of the hand, close to the midpoint of the 2nd metacarpal bone, which is commonly known as the base of the thumb.
Wen Ning has been practicing massage since he was a child, and some time ago he provided massage assistance treatment to many people in Zhao Lao's Clinic.
However, no matter whether they were elderly people with wrinkled skin, delicate and tender children, or energetic young people... Wen Ning did not feel anything unusual when he massaged them.
However, feeling the warmth and slightly roughness coming from the back of the man's hand, Wen Ning felt an inexplicable urge to throw his hand away.
This shouldn't be the case. She is a doctor now, and Gu Boyan is her patient. When did she become so irresponsible to her patient?
Before Wen Ning could figure out what was going on, the man's low, husky, and smiling voice suddenly rang in her ears, "It's windy outside, let's get in the car first."
Wen Ning's mind was somewhat vacant. He subconsciously agreed when he heard this and walked towards the car.
But after taking two steps, she suddenly realized that her hand was still holding Gu Boyan's hand!
Suddenly, that strange feeling came over me again.
Wen Ning subconsciously wanted to shake off his hand, but just as she moved, her hand was held tightly by the man.
Wen Ning's whole body froze, and he felt a little at a loss.
But at this moment, Gu Boyan opened the car door and protected her and sat in the back seat.
The movement was so natural that Wen Ning couldn't find a suitable opportunity to let go.
The driver sitting in the driver's seat was Zhao Gang. When he saw the two finally get in, he immediately asked, "Mr. Gu, are we going back to the hotel directly now?"
Gu Boyan tilted his head to look at Wen Ning and suggested, "It's still early, why don't we go for a walk around the Hanghai Bridge?"
This is also a very famous tourist attraction in Country A. It is said that the night view is magnificent and it is a must-see when visiting Country A.
Wen Ning had heard of this before and nodded.
Zhao Gang in front immediately breathed a sigh of relief and raised the partition between the front and rear seats of the car without delaying for a second.
Wen Ning: “???”
A hint of smile flashed across Gu Boyan's eyes, and he coughed lightly and said, "Ningning, I feel dizzy."
Wen Ning no longer cared about the meaning of Zhao Gang's action and immediately said, "Don't move. Let me massage you."
Gu Boyan hummed softly.
Wen Ning put aside the strange feelings lingering in her heart, pinched the Hegu acupoint with her thumb and index finger, lowered her head, and pressed seriously towards the palm of her hand.
Gu Boyan leaned back in his chair with a relaxed look, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked intently and affectionately at the girl whom he could completely embrace in his arms with just one stretch of his hand.
Even though she knew that he had those bad intentions towards her, she still stayed close to him and treated him well.
Wen Ning's complete lack of defense against him made him almost uncontrollable and he wanted to go further and further.
The light gathered in the black eyes became deeper and darker.
Suddenly, Wen Ning loosened his grip, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Just massage the Hegu point for a minute or two each time. Is your headache better?"
When he suddenly met the girl's clear and bright eyes, it seemed as if the dark beast hidden in his heart was about to break out of the cage.
Gu Boyan subconsciously closed his eyes and responded vaguely.
But Wen Ning saw that the man in front of him seemed to be enduring the pain, so he thought it was just the drunkenness that made his headache worse. He said with concern, "I'll massage your Taiyangxue point again. It can effectively relieve the headache and dizziness caused by drunkenness."
As he spoke, Wen Ning moved closer to Gu Boyan, sat up slightly, and raised his hand to massage Gu Boyan's Taiyangxue.
But just when she was about to touch the man's temples, he suddenly grabbed her wrist with force.
Wen Ning was puzzled and looked over with his peach blossom eyes, "What's wrong?"
In the narrow back seat of the car, only a dim back seat light was on.
Under the dim light, the man's already narrow and deep eyes looked even darker and deeper.
It was as if some extremely terrifying emotions were surging inside.
After a while, the man rolled his Adam's apple and his low, hoarse voice slowly rang out.
"Ningning, I'm a normal man."
At this moment, the distance between the two was very close, and their breaths stuck together, feeling a little hot and even scalding.
Wen Ning's brain suddenly went blank. Without thinking much, he reflexively grabbed Gu Boyan's wrist and took his pulse.
"The pulses at the Cun, Guan, and Chi points are all strong and deep, calm and gentle, strong and gentle, and with a regular rhythm. This indicates that the organs of the body are functioning in harmony, the Qi and blood are abundant, and the Qi is vigorous."
After saying this, Wen Ning raised his little face and gave a serious final diagnosis, "You are correct. He is indeed a very normal and healthy man."
Gu Boyan lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly.
Wen Ning blinked and coughed uncomfortably, "What, what's wrong? My diagnosis should be correct."
Although taking the pulse is not her specialty, she has been learning it since she was a child. When she was helping out in Mr. Zhao's clinic, Mr. Zhao also taught her a lot of things, so she is quite confident about some basic pulse conditions.
When he met the girl's innocent eyes, Gu Boyan was no longer reserved and spoke directly to her.
"Your diagnosis is correct. I am a normal and healthy young man."
"Because of this, the girl I like is sitting in front of me. The light fragrance of her hair and the gentle and warm touch of her fingertips are all teasing every nerve in my body."
"Especially now that she's caring about me with all her heart and eyes, Ningning, do you know how much self-control I used to resist the urge to hold you in my arms?"
The man's words were blunt and passionate.
No matter how ignorant Wen Ning was, he understood everything.
What's more, she is not ignorant of love affairs, but she just closed her heart early on and doesn't think about things related to love.
Suddenly, her fair cheeks turned completely red and her body subconsciously retreated.
Perhaps he retreated too quickly, his body became unstable and he fell straight back.
Suddenly, a feeling of weightlessness came over her, and her instinct drove her to reach out and grab the man's arm.
Gu Boyan reacted quickly as well. He put his long arms around her waist, exerted a little force, and held her firmly in his arms.
"Are you okay?" Gu Boyan asked with concern.
Wen Ning leaned heavily in the man's arms, his heart still pounding. He gasped softly and replied, "It's okay."
Gu Boyan lowered his eyes. From this angle, he could just see the girl's red ears and her Adam's apple rolling up and down uncontrollably.
He exhaled softly, letting Wen Ning sit down on his own. He then coughed softly, "I'm glad you're okay."
Wen Ning sat upright in his seat, pursing his lips slightly. He didn't know what to say for a moment and just hummed in a muffled voice.
Gu Boyan curled his lips slightly and stretched out his hand to her, "I still have a headache, help me massage it again."
Wen Ning was about to take action when he remembered what the man had just said, so he decisively pulled his hand back and hid it behind his back.
Turning to look at him, her peach blossom eyes were a little moist, and her voice was soft, "You did it on purpose."
Gu Boyan readily admitted, "Indeed."
Wen Ning widened his eyes in disbelief, as if he didn't expect Gu Boyan to admit it so readily.
"But my original intention was just to act coquettishly in front of you. Who knew Ningning felt so sorry for me that she even offered to give me a massage to relieve my headache." Gu Boyan said with a low laugh.
Wen Ning stared at him with eyes wide open, as if he had heard something impossible.
It’s not that Wen Ning is sexist and thinks that being coquettish is exclusive to girls.
But in her heart, Gu Boyan has always been a handsome, strong, calm and powerful mature man.
I always feel that this kind of man has nothing to do with the word "coquettish".
But now, Gu Boyan actually admitted that he wanted to act coquettishly.
Wen Ning looked at him and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The smiling eyebrows are curved, bright and beautiful.
The tense atmosphere that had lingered between the two of them also disappeared.
Seeing this, Gu Boyan asked her, "Are you laughing at me?"
Wen Ning stretched out a finger, gestured, and said, "A little bit."
"Ha." This time, Gu Boyan really laughed heartily. His Ningning was so cute.
Wen Ning also found it amusing. He blinked and said truthfully, "After all, Teacher Gu has always been mature and steady, even a bit of a sage. For her to suddenly act like a spoiled brat is such a huge contrast."
Gu Boyan said helplessly, "Mature and steady is fine, but what's the point of being an immortal? I have no intention of forgetting about cultivation."
The man's tone was slightly elongated, and it sounded inexplicably affectionate and flirtatious.
But this time, Wen Ning was not so helpless or shy, but the blush on his cheeks did not fade away.
At this moment, the car slowly stopped, and about ten seconds later, the barrier between the front and rear seats slowly dropped down.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Ningning, we're here." Zhao Gang reminded cautiously.
Wen Ning immediately looked out the window. The bridge was bustling with traffic, like a brilliant galaxy stretching across the sky.
Gu Boyan said, "Let's go downstairs and take a walk."
"Okay, I'll get the camera." Wen Ning said excitedly.
Gu Boyan naturally had no objection and took the initiative to help her carry the camera bag. Then he followed the girl and watched her smile brightly as she recorded the beautiful scenery she saw.
The bridge spans the entire lake and is several miles long. There is a hundred-meter-wide carriageway in the middle and several-meter-wide sidewalks on both sides.
There are many people walking on both sides of the bridge now, watching the hustle and bustle of traffic on the bridge, the sparkling waters of the vast lake, and the endless night sky full of stars...
Suddenly, Wen Ning turned around, holding the camera and facing Gu Boyan, and the shutter sounded.
Gu Boyan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "He was taking a secret photo of me."
A flash of panic flashed across Wen Ning's eyes. He coughed lightly and said guiltily, "I'm taking pictures of the crowd behind you."
In fact, her original intention was not to take a picture of Gu Boyan, but just to take a picture of the crowd behind him.
But when the camera focused on Gu Boyan's face, the crowds of people behind him lost their color, and it seemed as if all the other scenery was not as beautiful as him.
Wen Ning said nothing more, turned around, and continued to take pictures of other night scenes, but his fingers couldn't help but click back to check the most recent photo.
Among the crowds of people coming and going, Gu Boyan is the only color.
It seems that after looking at this photo, all other photos I take always lack a bit of beauty. Wen Ning is a straightforward person. If he can't take a good photo, he won't take it.
She put away her camera, and Gu Boyan approached and asked, "Not filming anymore?"
Wen Ning hummed, "We're almost done filming, let's go for a walk."
"Okay." Gu Boyan said,
The two of them walked along the bridge with the crowd. Wen Ning told him about the photos he had just taken and what he saw and heard today, while Gu Boyan told him some interesting stories about his study abroad in Country A.
Perhaps it was because we were outside and there were many people around, so it felt less hazy and ambiguous than in the cramped back seat of a car, but also more comfortable and warm.
Suddenly, bursts of exclamations were heard all around.
Wen Ning also looked over along with the crowd, and saw that at the edge of the vast lake, suddenly, brilliant fireworks exploded, beautiful and grand. After blooming, the fireworks fragments fell on the lake like stars, beautiful and shocking!
"So beautiful." Wen Ning looked at the fireworks not far away with bright eyes and exclaimed sincerely.
Gu Boyan looked at her deeply and said slowly, "She is indeed beautiful."
Wen Ning looked at the dazzling fireworks filling the sky and couldn't help but recall the feeling he had when he first saw them.
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the year I first arrived at the orphanage, a big hotel in the county bought a lot of fireworks for publicity and set them off. Many people went to watch, and the director also organized us to go."
"That was the first time I saw fireworks. They were so grand and beautiful. When they bloomed in the night sky, they almost lit up the entire night sky."
"It's a pity that I'm too short and surrounded by adults taller than me. I can't see the fireworks rising, I can only see them falling from the top."
"But I was still very happy, because that year I was rescued from the mountains, that year I had my own schoolbag for the first time, that year was also the first time I sat in class to study, that year, I thought my future life would be as beautiful and brilliant as fireworks, blooming brilliantly..."
Wen Ning laughed at himself when he said this, and soon stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he pointed at the cactus-shaped fireworks in the night sky and admired them.
He looked at the relaxed smile on the girl's face, and a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart, but more of it was heartache.
Wen Ning's life should have been so bright and lively every day, but fate played a trick on her, making her wander around and suffer all kinds of grievances since childhood.
Gu Boyan opened his lips and whispered, "Ningning, every day of your future will be bright and shining."
Just then, another massive firework exploded in the sky. A loud bang accompanied by the cheers of the surrounding crowd. Wen Ning didn't hear Gu Boyan's words clearly, so he tilted his head and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Nothing." Gu Boyan said, raised his hand to pinch Wen Ning's delicate chin, and turned her back to face the fireworks, "Be good, watch the fireworks."
Wen Ning: “…”
There was still some residual warmth from the man on his chin, and Wen Ning felt inexplicably embarrassed.
