"Aren't you afraid that after I sign the agreement, I'll work myself to the bone to force you to leave me, and then the money will still be mine?!" Yao Tongjia asked Xiao Gengwu with a smile!
Xiao Gengwu tugged at Yao Tongjia's hand: "You're not that kind of person. Even if you were, it wouldn't matter. If I make you dislike me, then I'm just incompetent!"
"You're such a smooth talker!" Yao Tongjia tried to pull her hand away but failed. "Gentleman, let go of my hand!"
Xiao Gengwu not only didn't let go, but instead took Yao Tongjia's hand and kissed it: "I only held your hand and kissed your hand, I didn't kiss your lips, how am I not a gentleman?"
"You!" These words made Yao Tongjia raise her hand and slap his shoulder, which earned her another groan from Xiao Gengwu. Yao Tongjia quickly covered his mouth: "Do you want everyone upstairs and downstairs to know you're here with me?"
"They already knew, so what?"
"Get out of here! Go back to your room! I'm not talking to you anymore!" Yao Tongjia said angrily.
Xiao Gengwu glanced at the time and realized it was getting late, so he stopped teasing Yao Tongjia and said, "Okay, okay, I'm leaving now. What do you want to eat for breakfast tomorrow? I'll go out and buy it for you!"
"You don't need to buy it, let's go!" Yao Tongjia pushed Xiao Gengwu out the door, then slammed the door shut with such speed that it almost hit Xiao Gengwu.
Xiao Gengwu found it very funny. He returned to his room, sat down in a chair, and savored the hand kiss from earlier, as if he could still smell a faint fragrance.
Did Yao Tongjia secretly spray perfume behind his back? What scent is it? I don't think I've smelled it before. I'll have to ask her tomorrow!
Xiao Gengwu drifted off to sleep with questions in his mind. In his dream, he was filled with the warmth and sweetness between the two of them. He even secretly kissed her lips, which seemed so sweet!
The next day, Xiao Gengwu surprisingly slept in late. When Yao Tongxu saw Xiao Gengwu come out of his room, he had an incredulous expression: "Brother Xiao, you sleep in late too? Isn't your biological clock usually very punctual?"
Anyway, ever since Yao Tongxu was able to walk, he had never seen Brother Xiao sleep in late. Thinking of this, he was a little worried: "Brother Xiao, are you sick?"
Xiao Gengwu: "..." He seems to be sick too; he's lovesick! But can he say it? Of course not!
Seeing Ruan Shengpeng come out dressed neatly, Xiao Gengwu quickly replied, "No, I was reading last night and accidentally missed my bedtime, so I couldn't fall asleep afterwards!"
After saying that, Xiao Gengwu ran off to wash up. Ruan Shengpeng, seeing Xiao Gengwu's hasty retreat, asked, "What happened to him?"
"This is the first time Brother Xiao has stayed up late; I thought he was sick!"
"Slept in late?" Ruan Shengpeng's heart skipped a beat. He had been thinking of giving the child some freedom last night; had he gone too far? He asked nervously, "Where's your sister? Is she awake?"
"My sister has already gone to school!" Yao Tongxu's words relieved Ruan Shengpeng. Fortunately, nothing else happened. It seems that he can't give her any more perks!
Ruan Shengpeng secretly made up his mind: "Give me a little sunshine and I'll shine; give me a little color and I'll bleed!"
Yao Tongjia left home so early today because her homeroom teacher asked her to, since she saved someone at school yesterday. To be honest, she was very hesitant about whether or not to save the person.
After all, she had just done a good deed and then got scammed. But there was someone in front of her who couldn't breathe, and she was, after all, a student of traditional Chinese medicine.
If she didn't help, it wouldn't have a good impact, so she had no choice but to take out her silver needles and, in a flash, brought the person back to life. Just then, the homeroom teacher happened to pass by.
Seeing Yao Tongjia skillfully giving someone acupuncture, he stood behind her and watched carefully, not daring to go forward and disturb her. The more he watched, the more doubtful he became. This acupuncture technique seemed to be the Zhou family's acupuncture technique.
Seeing that the person had been saved, he happily went forward to check on the patient and praised Yao Tongjia: "You have a good foundation. Come early tomorrow morning, I have other tasks for you!"
Yao Tongjia could only nod. Once she saw that someone had taken over the patient's care, she rode her bike home. She dared not delay any longer, otherwise another accident might occur. Would she then be saving lives or killing people?
When I arrived at the teachers' office early in the morning, I thought no one would be there. But to my surprise, the empty office was only occupied by our homeroom teacher, Ms. Xue, with her gray hair.
Teacher Xue was writing something with her head down. The empty office made her look very lonely. Yao Tongjia thought of her lonely self in her previous life and felt a little touched.
She knocked on the office door and called out, "Teacher Xue, have you had breakfast? I have two hard-boiled eggs here!"
Teacher Xue quickly shook her head: "I've already eaten. I'm getting old and don't need much sleep. I went to the cafeteria early this morning. Come in and sit down, I have something to ask you!"
Yao Tongjia obediently went inside and sat down. She saw Teacher Xue writing a lesson plan. Teacher Xue took off her glasses and said, "I saw your technique yesterday, it seems to be the Zhou family acupuncture technique? What is your relationship with the Zhou family?"
"It's not the Zhou family's acupuncture technique, and I have no connection with the Zhou family!"
Teacher Xue looked at Yao Tongjia and smiled: "If it's not a problem, it's not a problem. Don't be nervous. I'm not pursuing anything, and I'm not a member of the Zhou family."
Judging from your technique, you must have been studying Traditional Chinese Medicine a few years ago, right?
"Yes, I used to live in the countryside where medicine was very scarce, so I could only use acupuncture to treat the villagers. I became familiar with it after using it a lot!"
"With the situation so unclear before, how did you dare to learn acupuncture?"
"The countryside where I used to live was a very backward village. The place was too barren, and we couldn't even fill our stomachs. But it was relatively safe."
"Then you are very lucky!" Teacher Xue said this in an envious tone. Yao Tongjia looked at Teacher Xue's appearance, which did not match his temperament, and guessed what he had been through before.
"I called you here today to ask if you'd like to learn Traditional Chinese Medicine from me?"
Teacher Xue's words left Yao Tongjia speechless; she had never expected Teacher Xue to say such a thing.
"Of course, it's fine if you don't want to. My hand can no longer hold silver needles, but I can't bear to let my family's medical skills be buried!"
"Teacher, don't you plan to pass it on to your child?"
“Children? I… I have no descendants!” Teacher Xue’s voice choked with emotion, making Yao Tongjia’s nose itch.
"I was always thinking about choosing a qualified apprentice, but I kept putting it off. It's a good thing I put it off, otherwise I would have ruined the person's life."
"My family's acupuncture technique is very difficult to learn without a foundation. I think you're just right. Would you like to learn from me? My ancestors were imperial physicians, and our family history is even longer than that of the Zhou family!"
"Teacher Xue, I did learn some Zhou family acupuncture techniques before, do you mind?"
Will you marry into the Zhou family in the future?
"Definitely not!"
"That's alright then. Shall you learn from me?"
"Okay, I'll become your apprentice and learn from you!"
