Chapter 157
Then came the second shot, the third shot...
Shenshu, Mingmen, Sanyinjiao...Chen Zhaoyue's needle skills are as fast as flying, and his techniques are steady and experienced.
As the number of needles increased, Wen Yanxi clearly felt that the place deep in his lower abdomen, which had long been as silent and cold as frozen soil for thousands of years, seemed to be thrown into a burning fire.
A strange, unprecedented warm current surged out from the acupoints stimulated by the silver needles. At first, it was only slightly warm, like a stream breaking through the ice in early spring, flowing slowly and dispelling the long-standing coldness and numbness wherever it passed.
The warmth grew stronger and clearer, no longer an illusion, but a real heat coursing through his meridians and blood vessels. Like countless warm little snakes, it coiled, converged, and surged around his Dantian Qi Sea in his lower abdomen, then slowly spread out to every part of his body.
Wherever the warm current passes, an indescribable feeling of comfort sweeps over the whole body, and every pore breathes freely.
This unprecedented sense of ease and warmth almost made Wen Yanxi sigh out loud.
When the last silver needle was gently twisted and pulled out, Wen Yanxi slowly opened his eyes. He took a long, deep breath and slowly exhaled, feeling his entire chest expand as never before.
"It feels..." Wen Yanxi began, his voice hoarse and lazy, as if he had just woken up, yet full of vitality, "It's like a frozen river thawing in spring."
Chen Zhaoyue wiped the sweat from Wen Yanxi's forehead with a towel and said softly, "It will get better and better in the future."
…
The next morning, Chen Zhaoyue stood by the window, his eyes passing through the glass covered with a thin layer of dust and falling on the figure who had just walked into the yard outside - Liu Siyu.
Liu Siyu was wearing a brand new light pink Dacron shirt with the collar neatly turned up. Two jet-black braids hung in front of her chest, with the ends of the braids tied with equally brand new red hairbands. Her face had a carefully calculated and appropriate gentleness.
Chen Zhaoyue's eyes turned cold, like the surface of a frozen lake.
Without any hesitation, she turned around, crossed the corridor silently but extremely quickly, and stopped Liu Siyu accurately.
Liu Siyu obviously didn't expect that she would be blocked in the office by Shen Zhaoyue. She paused, and the gentle smile on her face froze. Then she quickly adjusted it into a more innocent and submissive expression, and spoke softly: "Sister Shen? What's the matter?"
She tried to swerve around Chen Zhaoyue, but Chen Zhaoyue remained motionless, his gaze fixed on Liu Siyu's face. Without any detours, he went straight to the point, his voice low, cold, yet with undeniable penetrating power: "Nurse Liu, are you interested in Wen Yanxi?"
This sentence was too straightforward and too sharp, completely tearing apart the veil of gentleness, courtesy, frugality and modesty that Liu Siyu had carefully maintained.
A trace of shame and panic of being offended flashed across Liu Siyu's eyes, but she immediately suppressed it.
Liu Siyu clenched her fingertips, her knuckles turning white, and she tried to squeeze out a more innocent and aggrieved expression on her face, even drooping her eyelashes slightly: "Sister Shen, how can you say that? This is a complete misunderstanding!"
She raised her head, trying to make her eyes look sincere, "I'm just concerned about Captain Wen."
"Care?" Chen Zhaoyue repeated, her voice rising slightly at the end, with a kind of knowing sarcasm, "Didn't you care about Wen Qing before?"
"I care about everyone in the army!" Liu Siyu explained anxiously, "Platoon Leader Wen and I are just ordinary friends."
“Oh…” Chen Zhaoyue chuckled, clearly unconvinced, “Really?”
Liu Siyu nodded sincerely: "Of course it's true!"
Chen Zhaoyue said meaningfully, "Nurse Liu's concern should be left to your ordinary friends. I care about my own partner myself, so you don't need to worry about it."
Liu Siyu looked pitiful and aggrieved: "Sister Shen, you really misunderstood me. I care about Captain Wen because I am fulfilling my job responsibilities."
Chen Zhaoyue didn't want to listen to Liu Siyu's explanation. After she finished what she wanted to say, she turned around and left, almost knocking over Liu Siyu's water cup. She reached out to hold it up and added some good things to Liu Siyu's water.
She moved extremely quickly, so quickly that no one could see anything wrong with her movements, let alone notice her little movements.
Lin Xiaomei came later, and she only heard half of Chen Zhaoyue's words. Even if she heard it all, she would only think that Chen Zhaoyue was being pretentious.
Seeing Chen Zhaoyue leave, he couldn't help but spit at her back: "Bah! What the hell! Siyu, don't pay attention to her."
Lin Xiaomei said this and handed the cup of water to Liu Siyu, asking her to drink some water.
"She's a capitalist daughter, and after finally getting a big leg up, she thinks everyone has to compete with her." Lin Xiaomei rolled her eyes in disdain as Chen Zhaoyue left. "Does she really think everyone is like her? She's really embarrassing us women."
“…”
Liu Siyu took a sip of water, still looking aggrieved, and gently persuaded Lin Xiaomei: "Sister Xiaomei, don't say anything, Sister Shen doesn't have any bad intentions."
Seeing that she was still speaking for Chen Zhaoyue, Lin Xiaomei said with dismay, "You are just too naive and think everyone is a good person."
Liu Siyu took another sip of water and muttered, "We are all lesbians, it's not easy for us..."
Lin Xiaomei sighed helplessly and turned around to do her own thing.
Liu Siyu quickly finished a glass of water. Not long after she arrived at her post, she felt a severe stomachache. She said something to Lin Xiaomei and turned to run to the toilet.
This run took the whole morning.
…
In the evening, after Chen Zhaoyue finished his work at the health center, he went to the medicinal field in the backyard to check on the growth of the herbs. Seeing that there was nothing to do, he returned home early.
Chen Zhaoyue closed the door and entered the space first.
As soon as she appeared in the villa, Johnny came up to her with an exquisite little bowl in his hand, strode without any regard for his relatives, and gave the lotus seeds in the bowl to Shen Zhaoyue to eat as if he were offering a treasure.
Johnny's electronic eyes turned into starry eyes again: "Miss, freshly peeled tender lotus seeds are delicious and not bitter. They can clear away heat and detoxify."
Chen Zhaoyue hadn't seen Johnny for a few days. He patted his head and said with a smile, "Did you sneak a peek at the books in my study while I was away? You even know that lotus seeds can clear away heat and detoxify?"
Johnny raised his chin proudly and said, "Miss, your strength surpasses 98% of your peers. You are the best intelligent butler robot."
"Huh?" Chen Zhaoyue pinched a lotus seed and observed it: "When did our family have lotus seeds? Did you grow them?"
Johnny answered Shen Zhaoyue’s question with a sincere look on his face: “Miss, you didn’t give me lotus root seeds, how can I harvest lotus seeds?”
Chen Zhaoyue was about to put the lotus seeds into her mouth when she paused and took them away from her mouth. Then she heard Johnny say, "This morning, a package was left at my door. There was a very fresh lotus pod inside. I couldn't eat it, so I thought it must have been sent to the young lady, so I peeled the lotus seeds out~"
"Oh." Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaoyue threw the lotus seeds into his mouth and ate them.
It turned out that it was given to her by the space.
However, she hadn't saved anyone or done anything good recently, and Chen Zhaoyue couldn't guess why the space suddenly gave her a gift.
But then again, the lotus seeds tasted really good, and Chen Zhaoyue couldn't stop eating them once he started.
