Chapter 173: I Can Still Accept Some Resuscitation Efforts

Ning Qirui did not feel as at ease as well when compared to Yang Jinyou, who was contemplating the meaning of life.

Su Yayan was using a familiar smelling ‘joss stick’ to tap different parts of his body, but it did not really hurt.

It was just that he felt like after just the smoking process, just like what Yang Jinyou had thought, he too thought that he smelled fantastic all over, and all he needed was to add some salt and other seasonings then he would be ready to be served.

Then, Ning Qirui thought back to all the yummy dishes that Su Yayan had just sent over, and he highly suspected if Su Yayan was just treating him like a slab of meat on the butcher board…?

However, all these were not as important as the fact that that thing that was burning on his body, was actually pretty hot.

Every time Su Yayan’s hands touched his back, he would subconsciously want to shudder. Was this an expected result of the treatment too?

“Siyuan, are you sure you could be treated for an illness like this? Why do I feel like Qirui was about to become a hedgehog?”

Ning Siyuan saw that the suddenly-terrifying needles on his brother’s back and his eyebrows quivered. “It does look more terrifying than yesterday.”

“That’s what I’ve been saying…”

“But the numbers won’t lie. So if he wants to be treated, he’ll have to suffer a little. The more important factor is that he’s able to get better.”

Yang Jinyou, “…” Blood-related brother no doubt! I actually have nothing to rebut.

Ning Siyuan’s gaze fell on Su Yayan and Ning Qirui, then he turned to look at Huo Chenhuan who was not very far away.

Rumor had it that this one from the Huo Family was cold, ruthless, and malicious. He was not keen on meeting outsiders due to his health condition and this meeting today had confirmed many points of the rumors that were circulating.

It was just that, when Huo Chenhuan was with Su Yayan, he would carefully retract all the ruthless malice that emitted from his being. It was as if he was… afraid of hurting her?

This observation shocked Ning Siyuan, but the pair before him was indubitably harmonious.

Seemed like some rumors can be believed, and some just could not. Even though this pair were said to be forcefully engaged, perhaps the truth was that they had fallen for each other for a while now, and if the news got out, many jaws would drop.

During the time where thoughts flooded through Ning Siyuan’s mind, Su Yayan had punctured all her needles in their respective acupoints and left them to sit for twenty to thirty minutes, gently twisting the needles in the meantime.

Yang Jinyou saw that Su Yayan had slowed down, thinking that she was done with her treatment so he crouched down secretively beside Ning Qirui and asked in a low voice, “Bro, are you okay?”

Ning Qirui looked at him and said weakly, “I think… I think I can still be slightly resuscitated.”

“Pffft…” Su Yayan nearly burst out in laughter after hearing it. “Okay now, don’t give me this face as if I’ve tortured you. I think you’re too comfortable that you’ve almost fallen asleep. Slightly resuscitate, hah! Resuscitate where? In your dreams?”

Ning Qirui blushed, thinking back at the times where he had oddly fallen asleep mid-treatment. What an embarrassment!

It must be her bewitching powers at work when she was treating me. It must be!

Half an hour later, Su Yayan kept away all the needles that she had used, and a layer of sweat beaded on her forehead.

Just as she was exhaling, a hand reached over and wiped the sweat off her brow. “Tired?”

“I’m okay.” Su Yayan relaxed under Huo Chenhuan’s gentleness. Her eyes were gleaming as she said, “It must be boring for you to have to wait for such a long time, right?”

Huo Chenhuan shook his head. “Not bored, I’m happy as long as I’m with you. I don’t need to be doing something.”

Su Yayan was temporarily stunned, then she proceeded to smile like a fool.

Yang Jinyou and Ning Siyuan who were suddenly, forcefully fed with lovey-dovey dog food, “…”

Ning Qirui, who had just finished his treatment and was still in a dizzy spell, “…” That is enough! Didn’t you see that there’s still a patient right here?!
