Chapter 58: Acupuncture

Mo Zhu shook her head when she heard Huo Xuan’s words. “No, the main purpose of this acupuncture treatment is to drain the remaining poisonous blood in your body. If you don’t expel the contaminated blood, it’s very possible that it will leave unpredictable hidden dangers in your body.”

“You might vomit a lot of dirty blood later. We can only ensure that Auntie won’t come in easily if we carry it out in my room. Or do you want her to see you vomit blood with her own eyes?”

After a moment of silence, Huo Xuan understood Mo Zhu’s intentions. He immediately nodded without any hesitation. “Then let’s begin.”

After instructing Xu Huan to bring over a few larger basins, Mo Zhu skillfully stuck the needles into Huo Xuan’s acupuncture points.

In less than a few minutes, Huo Xuan felt a gush of blood surge violently in his body, followed by a metallic taste in his throat.

“Hurry! The basin!” After he shouted this sentence, Xu Huan immediately placed the basin that he had prepared beforehand by the man’s mouth.

The moment Huo Xuan saw the basin, he couldn’t hold back any longer. His stomach felt like it was churning and rumbling really hard. The few of them heard a “splash” and a mouthful of dark and smelly dirty blood was spat out by the man.

Huo Xuan threw up for more than half an hour before he forced himself to cough and stop. Xu Huan, who was waiting by the side, couldn’t stand the unbearable smell in the room and left.

Only the usual Mo Zhu, who was as calm as ever, was left standing by the bed, playing with her phone casually.

Huo Xuan calmed himself down and stole a glance at Mo Zhu’s screen. On it was a game called Magic Essence. He quietly watched half of the girl’s game and a look of approval appeared on Huo Xuan’s face.

This match ended very quickly. Looking at the time on the screen, Mo Zhu stood up and started to remove the needles for the man. “I’m removing the needles now. The smell is indeed a little strong. You can take a bath later to remove the leftover poison better.”

Mo Zhu lowered her head and kept her hands busy on Huo Xuan’s body. From the man’s point of view, her slightly lowered eyelashes looked like a half-opened fan. Mo Zhu’s slender and fair neck leaned forward, completely revealing herself in front of Huo Xuan. It made him swallow silently.

He raised her hand and grabbed Mo Zhu’s collar. The girl was caught off guard and was immediately pulled in front of Huo Xuan, who was leaning against the bedhead.

She suddenly met the man’s deep black eyes and stammered, “Why did you pull me?”

Huo Xuan’s eyes were burning as he stared intently into Mo Zhu’s eyes. However, the words that came out of his mouth were cold and emotionless. “In the future, when you treat others, be it men or women, please wear more clothes.”

“None of your business…” Under the man’s gaze, Mo Zhu grabbed her collar from Huo Xuan’s hand impolitely. She stood up and continued to pull out the needles awkwardly.

Huo Xuan cleared his throat and looked away awkwardly.

For some reason, he could not control himself and blurted out what he was thinking. Indeed, he did not have any status or position to interfere with Mo Zhu’s matters.

Furthermore, Huo Xuan knew that with Mo Zhu’s personality, she probably didn’t like others controlling her matters. He was afraid of leaving a bad impression, so he hurriedly explained.

“I was just casually suggesting it, it’s fine if you don’t listen.”

Upon hearing Huo Xuan’s words, Mo Zhu didn’t pursue the matter. She placed the needles back into the syringe and raised her eyebrows. “Young Master Huo, the acupuncture is done. You can leave.”

Was she chasing him away?

He didn’t dare to stay any longer. Once Mo Zhu said that, Huo Xuan tidied up his clothes and left. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind Mo Zhu to rest well.

After the man left, Mo Zhu opened the window and tidied up briefly. After locking the door, she took out the computer from the cabinet and started operating it skillfully.

If she wasn’t wrong, a person like Huo Xuan should have saved all his business secrets and personal information on his personal computer.

And this morning, with the excuse of dealing with Jiang Yu, Mo Zhu secretly left a line of decrypted codes she had designed on Huo Xuan’s laptop. Her motive was to smoothly probe the information saved in the man’s computer tonight.

The sky gradually darkened, and a cold expression appeared on Mo Zhu’s exquisite face. She made up her mind. If Huo Xuan really did it, then she took his life away like how she had saved him!

Her fingers flew across the keyboard as lines of mysterious codes appeared on the computer screen.

In the room not far away.

Xu Huan was sitting lazily on the sofa in Huo Xuan’s room, playing with his phone. As he played, he muttered, “Brother Huo, what did Little Bamboo say about the poison in your body?”

Huo Xuan had already finished showering. He lay on the bed with his eyes half-closed, and there wasn’t much expression on his face. “She didn’t say much. I should be close to full recovery after throwing up these few mouthfuls of blood.”

Xu Huan immediately shifted his body when he heard Huo Xuan’s casual tone. His eyes widened. “Few mouthfuls of blood? Brother, you’re crazy! You think a few basins worth of blood is just a few mouthfuls?”

After a pause, as if he felt he did not say enough, the man added, “You and Little Bamboo are really compatible. Both of you don’t say things that ordinary people do!”
