Chapter 195: Chapter 195: The First Acupuncture Session

In the courtyard, Long Fei went up to the third floor and knocked on the door.

Lin Shanshan wasn’t there; Li Wenwen opened the door.

Her illness had clearly improved a lot, but her nose was still somewhat blocked, and despite the hot weather, she was hiding inside the house, wrapped in a blanket.

Long Fei looked at her and smiled, "If you’re cold, you could just turn off the air conditioner!"

Li Wenwen shook her head, "That won’t do, if I turn off the air conditioning, I’d die of heat."

Long Fei smiled again and followed her inside.

He asked Li Wenwen, "Where did Shanshan go?"

Li Wenwen replied, "She went home. I don’t know what she did to anger Sister Yingying, but I guess she’s in for a lecture."

"Is that so?"

Long Fei was amused inwardly, as he had an idea of what might have happened.

Li Wenwen was programming in the living room; Long Fei went over and took a look, asking, "How’s the development of your APP coming along?"

Li Wenwen nodded, "It’s almost done. We recruited some people from the programming major at school, and we’re preparing to officially start working on it tomorrow."

Long Fei nodded, not too concerned about their project.

He didn’t have the brain for business, and even though he was a shareholder, he couldn’t be bothered with these matters.

Li Wenwen wasn’t much of a talker, so he didn’t chat much with her and went to the kitchen to decoct medicine.

Wang Xiaoya had sent him a WeChat message, asking what he had been up to that day.

He lied, saying he was accompanying Lin Yingying on an inspection downstairs.

Wang Xiaoya didn’t ask much further; these past few days, she had been intently focused on house hunting on her commutes.

She asked Long Fei to accompany her on a visit this Saturday.

Long Fei agreed to her, sensing that matters of the heart were a tangled mess and that they could only take it one step at a time.

He steeped the herbs layer by layer, alternately using high heat and low heat.

The fragrance of the medicine filled the entire house before long.

Upon smelling it in the living room, Li Wenwen found her blocked nose surprisingly cleared.

Astonished, she frowned and, putting down her work, went to the kitchen and looked at Long Fei as she asked, "Brother Long, what is this medicine you’re decocting?"

"It’s for replenishing Qi!"

Long Fei explained with a smile.

Li Wenwen said timidly, "Could I have a sip?"

"You?"

Long Fei looked at her and shook his head, "No, this medicine is poisonous, and you’d be poisoned if you drank it."

"Stingy!"

Li Wenwen pouted; feeling that smelling the medicine alone had been so effective, she believed drinking it would surely cure her illness.

She turned away, disappointed.

Long Fei called out, "Wait a second."

Li Wenwen turned back, her face brightening, "What is it?"

Long Fei asked, "Do you want to cure your cold?"

Li Wenwen nodded eagerly.

Long Fei said, "Alright, this medicine does have an effect on colds. But since it’s very strong, it needs to be taken in conjunction with acupuncture to regulate the Qi. If you’re not afraid of getting pricked, go ahead and drink it!"

"Acupuncture?"

Li Wenwen furrowed her brows; the cold had tormented her enough these past days, and she steeled herself, "Acupuncture it is, I’m not afraid!"

Long Fei nodded and told her to wait in the living room.

He didn’t want Li Wenwen to think he was being stingy, and since she wanted to take the medicine, he decided to let her have it.

The medicine had been boiling for over an hour, reducing the pot’s content by half.

Long Fei brought it out, and Li Wenwen fetched a small cup for herself, into which he poured a cupful.

Li Wenwen thought he was being mean; usually, people drank a whole bowl of medicine, but he only poured her a small cup.

Long Fei took out the silver needles and arranged them on a white cloth according to their length.

Li Wenwen watched with wide eyes, amazed, "Such a long needle?"

Long Fei smiled, "It’s fine, these needles are inserted into acupoints, it won’t hurt much."

Li Wenwen secretly broke out in a sweat, picked up her cup, and slowly drank her medicine.

Soon, she understood why Long Fei dared not let her drink too much.

The medicine was so weird; after drinking it, her entire body heated up, just like sitting in a sauna.

Whereas her body had been cold before, now her little face turned red from heat, and beads of sweat even formed on her forehead.

Long Fei looked at her and smiled, "How is it?"

Li Wenwen said fearfully, "It’s good, but my stomach feels too bloated."

Long Fei explained, "This is the Essential Qi in the medicine working. Take off your outerwear, and I’ll give you acupuncture!"

"Take off my clothes?"

Li Wenwen immediately blushed, awkwardly saying, "Can I not take them off?"

Long Fei chuckled, "How can I insert the needles if you don’t take them off?"

Li Wenwen pouted and asked Long Fei to wait a moment.

She ran back to her bedroom, opened her wardrobe and picked through it, finally choosing a relatively conservative short top to wear.

Hugging her arms, she came out of the bedroom timidly.

Long Fei, not wanting to make her feel embarrassed, tried his best to avert his gaze.

Li Wenwen sat down beside him, her face red as she asked him, "What should I do now?"

Long Fei instructed her, "Just lie flat on the couch!"

"Oh!"

Li Wenwen nodded her head and obediently lay down on the couch.

She closed her eyes nervously, the bashfulness inside her overshadowing the fear of being needled that was to come.

Although it was Long Fei’s first time performing acupuncture, he had rehearsed it many times in his mind and wasn’t nervous.

He took out a silver needle and inserted it into Li Wenwen’s lower abdomen.

Li Wenwen felt a bit of sourness and pain in her lower abdomen, but it was still bearable.

Strangely enough, as soon as the silver needle was inserted, the feeling of bloating in her stomach subsided a lot.

Long Fei twisted the silver needle gently, the inch-long needle completely piercing into the acupoint.

As he inserted needle after needle, his touch got better and better, as if he was always meant to know this.

The silver needles formed a plum blossom shape on Li Wenwen’s lower abdomen.

This needle technique was precisely the Nine Transformations Plum Blossom Needle from "The Shennong Herbology".

As the needle travels through the plum blossom, it circles the meridians nine times, specifically used to help circulate Qi and detoxify the body.

Under the influence of the nine silver needles, the Essential Qi at Li Wenwen’s lower abdomen rapidly circulated throughout her body.

The bloating in her lower abdomen subsided after a while.

The entire body was flushed with Essential Qi, and hot sweat poured out of every pore.

Long Fei was very satisfied with the result, considering it was his first time performing acupuncture and he had achieved such an effect.

He helped Li Wenwen remove the silver needles, which tickled her, making her giggle.

Long Fei suggested she take a shower to wash away the impurities from her body.

Li Wenwen sat up and checked her lower abdomen to see if there were any scars.

She was extremely impressed with Long Fei, not expecting him to possess such advanced medical skills.

Now, her head felt clear and refreshed, and her nose was no longer blocked.

The symptoms of her cold were completely gone.

Li Wenwen happily got off the couch, ready to head to the bathroom.

However, as soon as she stood up, her legs went weak, and she fell forward.

Long Fei caught her in his arms, turned due to momentum, and pressed her down onto the couch.

He had nearly forgotten, after intense circulation of Essential Qi in the body, the muscles tend to become temporarily soft.

Their eyes met, and their breathing suddenly became rapid.
