Chapter 80: All skills, no emotions
"Sister-in-law!" Huo Xiang suddenly stood up and said with red eyes, "How can you threaten my brother with your emotions? It's bad enough that he can't find a suitable doctor, and you still want to use him as a test. Isn't that too much?!"
"I'm overdoing it? If you think I'm overdoing it, then don't get married!" Su Lingyu snorted lightly, with a proud look on his face, "I got Chen Mancang's letter and medicine back, so what's wrong with letting me try?"
Huo Lang also clenched his fists, stood up with a red face, and said, "Sister-in-law! My brother likes you so much. He secretly held your hand in the car and refused to let go. I saw it all. Do you really have no feelings for him at all?"
"It's just holding hands, how can he have any feelings for me?" Su Lingyu asked back, "I still use chopsticks to eat every day, have you seen that I have a particular preference for a pair of chopsticks? If he really likes me, let me stick a needle in his body!"
Huo Lang: “…”
Su Lingyu looked at Chen Yuxiang and Huo Jianguo, who had remained silent, and asked directly, "Mom and Dad, you won't object too, right?"
Chen Yuxiang raised her head and pleaded, "Lingyu, if Huo Yan's legs are really disabled, it will ruin his life. Why don't you talk to your master and let her treat him?"
Huo Jianguo said straight away with a straight face: "I don't agree!"
"Is there no justice in this world?" Huo Xiang suddenly shouted, picked up the fruit knife on the coffee table and pointed it at his neck, "You have to die before I agree!"
Chen Yuxiang and Huo Jianguo were immediately shocked: "Don't be impulsive."
Huo Xiang, however, looked determined and said loudly, "I won't! If my sister-in-law insists on doing what she wants, I will die here today!"
Su Lingyu: "..."
She was a little scared.
[Xiao Tongzi, Huo Xiang has threatened to die. Am I...acting a little too much this time? Not to mention whether she really wants to die, what if her hands tremble? Wouldn't that be a big sin for me?]
The system's baby voice immediately comforted: [Host, don't be afraid! I feel that their performance is similar to the host's, all skills, no emotions, they must be bluffing! ]
Su Lingyu: […Thank you, I am not comforted.]
Huo family: "..."
"Alright!" Huo Yan pinched his brows with amusement and helplessness, and after clearing his lips and adjusting his expression, he looked at Su Lingyu with his dark and calm eyes, "Lingyu, let's go back to the room and talk."
"Go back to your room if you want. I won't give in anyway!"
Su Lingyu snorted, turned around and walked towards the second floor first.
Although he walked away in a carefree manner, he was actually a little distressed: [Xiao Tongzi, what if they refuse to let me treat Huo Yan's leg, and Huo Yan himself is also very resistant, then what should I do? ]
The system immediately said excitedly: [This is perfect! He is definitely unwilling, but you can force him! While treating his leg, you can make him feel uncomfortable. Isn't it possible to complete the daily task? ]
Huo Yan pinched his earlobe, picked up his cane, and followed her upstairs.
A minute later, Su Lingyu had already walked away, and only Huo Yan, leaning on a cane, was still slowly going upstairs. The Huo family members who were still sitting on the sofa looked at each other and reflected on themselves.
"Our acting skills are still too poor."
"Huo Xiang, you used too much force just now and scared your sister-in-law."
"I was wrong. I will read more of the book "An Actor's Self-cultivation" and strive to improve my acting skills next time and integrate acting into my life!"
“It’s about keeping working hard.”
"Stop scolding me. Just now, my elder brother called my sister-in-law 'Lingyu'!"
"What is this? He just held onto my sister-in-law's hand in the car and refused to let go? The system said he wanted to stick with her!"
“…”
Huo Yan: “…”
Can't you keep your voice down a bit? He heard it all!
…
Huo Yan was not as quick as Su Lingyu. He thought that she would be sitting on the bed in frustration, and was still thinking about how to comfort her later.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the room, he saw a pretty woman leaning on the chest of drawers at the door with one hand, her charming almond eyes looking at the door, with an expression as if waiting for him to "fall into her trap".
"Are you here?" As soon as she saw him, Su Lingyu said, "Go take a shower and wash yourself clean."
Huo Yan's ears became hot: "Take a shower?"
"Is it difficult for me to ask you to take a shower?" Su Lingyu glanced at him strangely, "I don't know how much stinky sweat you have on your body. You don't want to wash yourself clean, and you still want me to touch you with my hands?"
Huo Yan: “…Okay.”
When he came out of the shower, he saw Su Lingyu sitting by the bed, fiddling with the wooden box she brought back from Chen's house, carefully looking at the medicine inside.
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and I don't know what she was thinking about.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
"What do you care what I think?" Su Lingyu raised her eyes and pointed her chin at the bed. "Lie down on the bed and take off your pants."
As she spoke, she glanced at his military trousers and said, "You're still wearing trousers at home. Are you protecting yourself from me?"
The medicine that Chen Mancang gave was called "Wuwei Huayu Paste", which was placed in a rough porcelain jar in a wooden box, with a piece of paper explaining the efficacy and usage.
She had just read the instructions. After the acupuncture, the Wuwei Huayu Paste needed to be heated to about 40 degrees and applied as a hot compress on Huo Yan's injured leg, trying to cover the three inches above and below his knee as much as possible.
In this case, he had no choice but to take off his pants.
After she said that, Huo Yan felt the heat from his ears spreading to his face, as if his whole face was burning.
I wanted to explain that I wasn't on guard against her, I just didn't want to offend her, but I was tongue-tied and didn't know how to explain.
He sat on the bed as he was told, without taking off his pants. He sat up straight, with his slender hands firmly fastened on the belt, looking like a chaste man.
Su Lingyu finally raised her eyes to look at him, and laughed angrily: "Today we are not giving you acupuncture, so it's okay if you don't take off your pants. But you must take them off after the acupuncture begins. Do you understand?"
Huo Yan's body froze.
Su Lingyu looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes: "Roll up your trouser legs first and let me see."
Huo Yan nodded solemnly.
Guessing what Su Lingyu was going to do, he rolled up the trouser leg of his left leg all the way to his thigh, exposing his entire left knee.
During this process, the heat on his face faded away little by little, and finally his face even turned pale. He hesitated and was unwilling to take his big hands off his knees.
He thought that even if Su Lingyu didn't think so in her heart, she would still make things difficult for him in order to complete the daily tasks assigned by the system, but she didn't.
Su Lingyu carefully put the Wuwei Huayu Paste into the drawer of the bedside cabinet, wiped her hands with the wet towel that she had prepared long ago, and sat down on the edge of the bed again.
She looked at Huo Yan's left leg and saw that he obediently took away the big hand covering his knee. He hummed with satisfaction and pressed his knee with his slender white fingers.
She pinched it with a little force, then raised her dark almond eyes and looked at him: "Does it hurt?"
