Before the door closed completely, Yun Ye caught sight of Leng Chuanjin who was already asleep.
Xia Sanghuan pulled Yun Ye away from the door. After making sure that their voices wouldn't wake up the man in the ward, she said to him, "Yun Ye, could you please go and get a set of silver needles for acupuncture from the doctor or the nurse for me?"
"Also bring some cotton balls and alcohol.
"Thank you."
Yun Ye was utterly confused by her instructions. He had no idea what this young miss of the Fu family wanted the silver needles for.
He tentatively asked, "Miss Xia, you're not going to prick Young Master Leng with the needles, are you..."
"Although he might have a bit of a temper sometimes, he's actually a good person and always cares about you."
"Please spare him. Don't take revenge on him..."
Hearing this, she helplessly rubbed her forehead.
"What are you thinking? Just go and get what I asked for. Do you think I'd harm him?"
Hearing this, he had no choice but to do as she said.
Judging from Yun Ye's reaction, Second Brother probably hadn't told many people about her proficiency in medicine.
She wasn't the kind of person who liked to show off. She hadn't even told the Fu family about her high level of medical expertise. She always tried to keep a low profile.
Moreover, the more people who knew about it, the more uncertainties would disrupt her life.
Leng Chuanjin was protecting her wishes in his own way.
It didn't take Yun Ye long to come back with a box of silver needles. He was also carrying a bag of cotton balls and a whole bottle of medical alcohol in his hand.
"Miss Xia, here are the things you asked for."
Xia Sanghuan took the things from his hand speechlessly.
Although he was Second Brother's right - hand man and assistant, and he did his best to assist Second Brother in all aspects.
But it had to be said that he was a bit naive in some ways.
She nodded at him and walked into the ward with the things in her hand.
Before entering the room, she turned back and said to him, "Brother Chuanjin must have a lot of work for you. Go and get busy. I'll take care of things here. We'll call you if there's anything."
Then she closed the door, shutting Yun Ye out.
It wasn't that she disliked Yun Ye. It was just that if someone was present while she was giving Second Brother acupuncture, she would feel very uncomfortable.
It was like being caught when stealing candy.
Yun Ye outside the door groaned in distress, but since Miss Xia clearly didn't want him to go in, he had no choice but to sit on the waiting chair outside the door as before.
She laid out all the things on the bed. She didn't care if it was dirty or not, as long as there was no noise.
She also found several pairs of rubber gloves and tweezers in the bag. She didn't expect Yun Ye to be so considerate.
She put on the rubber gloves and poured the alcohol into the iron box containing the silver needles to disinfect them.
After a while, she used the tweezers to pick out a cotton ball and soaked it in alcohol.
When everything was ready, she walked to Leng Chuanjin's bedside with the silver needles and other tools.
Thankfully, he was sleeping soundly and didn't wake up.
She gently wiped a few acupuncture points on his face with the cotton ball, then picked up the silver needle and inserted it firmly, accurately and quickly.
If the technique was good, acupuncture would be painless.
Obviously, from Leng Chuanjin who was still sleeping soundly, it could be seen that this was a piece of cake for her.
Although she hadn't given anyone acupuncture since she came to Yuntan.
But now it seemed that her skills hadn't regressed at all.
She let out a sigh of relief and tidied up the tools a bit.
After finishing everything, she just stood beside his bed and waited quietly.
Finally, thanks to her excellent acupuncture skills, his wrinkled eyebrows gradually relaxed, and his pulse became much more stable than before.
She didn't know if it was because he was really tired or because of her acupuncture.
Leng Chuanjin slept for an especially long time.
He started sleeping in the morning and didn't wake up until dusk.
Xia Sanghuan had already pulled out the silver needles when the time was up. At this moment, she was sitting by the window, staring blankly at the orange - red evening clouds dyed by the setting sun on the horizon.
At lunchtime, Yun Ye tried to come in once, but she sent him away on the pretext that she wasn't hungry and didn't want to eat, for fear that he might accidentally wake Second Brother up.
After a long wait, the man behind her finally made a sound.
He let out a low grunt, followed by the rustling sound of the quilt rubbing against his clothes.
Then she heard him standing behind her.
He stretched and his voice was full of satisfaction and laziness as he had just woken up.
"I haven't slept this well for a long time."
She turned back to look at him. He was standing against the light, looking like a god descending to the mortal world.
Her breath caught in her throat, and then she quickly turned her head back.
"What's wrong, Huanhuan? Are you shy to see Second Brother?"
He stood behind her and said lazily, like a lion king just waking up and grooming himself.
"What's there to be shy about? Isn't it just two eyes, one nose and one mouth?"
She replied pretending to be calm, trying hard to make her voice sound steady.
The man behind her let out a soft laugh and stroked her head.
"Let's go. It's time for dinner."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out, leaving Xia Sanghuan with a fluttering heart.
It was so unfair.
Leng Chuanjin came back soon. "Yun Ye told me that you didn't have lunch today."
"Don't tell me it's because you didn't want to disturb my sleep?"
"I've already asked him to prepare dinner. Big brother will take you to have something delicious tonight."
His slightly cheerful voice sounded behind her.
"Who didn't want to disturb your sleep? You're being self - indulgent."
"Oh? Then who gave me acupuncture this morning?"
She snorted and still stared at the evening clouds on the horizon.
"Huanhuan, stop looking. You're going to stare a hole in that cloud."
He walked closer to her and said with a smile.
For some reason, although he felt very sorry that the girl hadn't had lunch.
But thinking that she had given him acupuncture and refused lunch so that he could rest well, he felt extremely happy.
Even the depression caused by the unsatisfactory work in recent days had vanished.
Hearing his teasing, Xia Sanghuan was annoyed and ashamed.
"Seeing that you're so energetic now, I shouldn't have worried about you!"
"If it weren't for the fact that you saved me yesterday, I wouldn't have cared about you today!"
Seeing her puffing up her cheeks like an angry kitten, he felt even happier.
He walked over and stroked her head, as if to smooth her fur.
"Okay, okay. Our Huanhuan is a kind - hearted little angel."
"I'm the one who's unworthy, okay?"
Yun Ye soon brought the dinner over. She couldn't help but be amazed at the efficiency of the Leng family's kitchen again.
Just like in the morning, the dishes for dinner were also cooked according to her favorite style and taste.
The hungry Xia Sanghuan ate with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Looking at her eating seriously, Leng Chuanjin smiled at her.
