Su Luo didn't know who was spying on her, but she could sense which direction the gaze was coming from.
Peeping at her was simply a way to cause her trouble.
If she discovers you and then sees her give you that meaningful smile, the person spying will feel guilty, angry, and frustrated with themselves.
Su Luo stretched her limbs, smiled, and went back to work.
In a bedroom in the main building, Qiao Jing was leaning against the wall, breathing heavily. She had been spying on Su Luo to find some evidence, but she hadn't expected Su Luo to discover her.
What did Su Luo's smile mean? Was it provocation? Sarcasm? Disdain?
Qiao Jing clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and whispered, "Damn Su Luo, no matter how well you pretend in front of my mother, I will definitely catch you red-handed!"
That smile just now proves that Su Luo has ill intentions. She could sense someone spying on her from this distance, which proves that she is very cunning. She must have used some underhanded means to make her mother and second brother believe her. But no one else saw that smile just now except her.
But her words were useless.
Qiao Jing simply went out. She needed to find someone to find out more about Su Luo's situation. That was a million yuan, and she couldn't let Su Luo swindle it away like that.
That evening, Su Luo packed up the medicinal herbs and left the Qiao family.
Back at school, she called Qingfeng Temple.
"Uncle-Master, I have good news for you. The medicinal herbs have been gathered. I will come over this weekend to prepare the medicine for you. You must take it every day."
Su Luo couldn't wait to tell Lin the Blind Man the good news.
Lin the Blind Man held the phone for a long time but couldn't make a sound.
Su Tiantian and Heimi were watching him from the side.
"Uncle-Master, are you listening?"
Su Luo didn't hear a reply and thought that Blind Lin hadn't heard her.
Lin the Blind looked up, blinked, and said, "Hey, I'm listening. You've worked hard."
Lin the Blind felt pain in his eyes, a stinging sensation, and a strong urge to cry, but he couldn't shed any tears after he went blind.
"It's not hard work. I'm happy to be able to treat my uncle."
Su Luo smiled, initially thinking it was a bad phone signal, but it turned out she was just very happy.
"You chat with Tian Tian for a while, I have something to do."
Lin the Blind Man choked up a little, pulled Su Tiantian over to listen to the phone, and then groped his way out.
Su Tiantian picked up the phone: "Mom, I miss you so much."
They meet every week, and if they suddenly don't see each other for a week, she will miss them terribly.
Su Luo smiled when she heard Su Tiantian's voice: "I miss you too. Mom will come to see you this week. What do you want to eat? Mom will buy it for you. Do you want chocolate? Small cakes? Mung bean cakes and chestnut pastries?"
Upon hearing her daughter's voice, Su Luo felt a surge of energy that made her fearless in the face of anything.
She clearly remembered all of Su Tiantian's little preferences.
Su Tiantian's mouth started watering as she listened.
"Mmm, I want to eat them all."
Su Tiantian didn't make a choice; she wanted to eat them all.
Faced with Su Tiantian's little greed, Su Luo couldn't refuse at all: "Okay, then Mom will buy them all for you on Saturday."
"Woof woof—"
Black Rice barked twice from the side.
I want to eat it too.
Heimi and Su Luo are quite familiar with each other. Although they don't speak the same language, he makes a sound every time he hears Su Luo on the phone to let her know he's there.
Moreover, with Su Tiantian as his little translator, Su Luo can understand what he wants to express.
"Mom, I want to eat black rice too, please buy more!"
Su Tiantian reached out and patted Heimi's head.
Black Rice grinned happily.
Su Luo smiled and agreed, "Okay, Mom will buy them all."
Su Luo could already imagine how expectant Su Tiantian and Heimi were, and she also looked forward to Saturday arriving quickly.
"Sweetie, get some rest. Mommy's going back to the dorm now."
Su Luo hung up the phone and returned to her dormitory, completely unaware that a figure was watching her from the shadows and quietly leaving.
On Monday evening, Su Luo came to the Qiao family home to give Qiao Lei a medicinal bath and acupuncture.
Xing Xiaomeng watched from the side; Qiao Jing had asked her to watch, but she couldn't see anything. Su Luo acted as if she didn't exist until Su Luo started giving Qiao Lei acupuncture, at which point Xing Xiaomeng showed a look of astonishment.
Su Luo's needle insertion was quick, swift, and precise; Xing Xiaomeng didn't even see how it was done, and Qiao Lei was like a hedgehog.
Xing Xiaomeng couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Is each needle inserted into a specific acupoint?"
Su Luo nodded: "Mm."
Xing Xiaomeng didn't know how many acupoints there were in the human body; she just thought Su Luo was amazing.
But she couldn't tell whether Su Luo was skilled or not. After the acupuncture, Su Luo went to prepare medicinal herbs, which Xing Xiaomeng found tedious and boring.
"Honey, how do you feel?"
Xing Xiaomeng asked Qiao Lei.
"I don't feel anything."
Qiao Lei answered truthfully that he really didn't feel anything, not even pain. If it weren't for the many silver needles stuck in his eye, he would have doubted whether he was really getting acupuncture.
"Would you like something to eat?"
Xing Xiaomeng sat with them for a while, but then she got even more bored.
Su Luo was cutting medicinal herbs, and the sound of her cutting them was very soothing.
Xing Xiaomeng was afraid she would fall asleep if she didn't find something to do.
"It's okay if you don't want to eat. Go outside and relax for a bit. I'll come back and keep you company when I've finished cooking."
Qiao Lei noticed that Xing Xiaomeng was bored, so he kindly asked her to go out.
Xing Xiaomeng smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll go cut a fruit platter for you. You can eat it after your acupuncture treatment."
Qiao Lei nodded, and Xing Xiaomeng got up and left.
As soon as she went outside, she saw Qiao Jing.
"Second sister-in-law, did you see clearly? How well did she do?"
Qiao Jing wanted to see for herself, but she was afraid that she would clash with Su Luo if she went.
When she clashed with Su Luo, the first person to hold her accountable was her own mother.
“Jingjing, I don’t understand that either. She did this and that, and soon your second brother was covered in silver needles. She said that each silver needle had an acupoint. Your second brother is like a hedgehog now, but he says he doesn’t feel anything. Su Luo is preparing the medicinal herbs. I’ll go prepare a fruit platter for your second brother.”
Xing Xiaomeng showed Qiao Jing what she had seen, without embellishing anything; Su Luo was just that quick and accurate.
Qiao Jing frowned as she listened to Xing Xiaomeng's description.
She'd seen acupuncture before; it's definitely not an easy thing to do.
"Second sister-in-law, are you sure what you saw was that?"
Qiao Jing frowned and looked at Xing Xiaomeng with suspicion. Xing Xiaomeng was an outsider, and what she saw and what she described might be different.
“Jingjing, what I saw really is like that. Mom and Dad have a gathering today and can’t come. Otherwise, they would have said the same thing as me. I think Su Luo doesn’t take us seriously at all. Why don’t you go and see for yourself tomorrow?”
Xing Xiaomeng explained with a faint smile, but inwardly she was rolling her eyes.
She's an adult, not blind or stupid, so she can't be so bad as to not be able to describe what she saw clearly. Besides, it wasn't anything bizarre or indescribable.
"Jingjing, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to make the fruit platter."
Xing Xiaomeng smiled again, then left immediately after speaking.
