Chapter 616: My God!

Today she was meant to return to school, supposedly to perform an assessment on Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Loose-lipped Ye Hua had already thoroughly revealed her intentions.

Baili Xia let out a sigh.

Knowing his persistence, she couldn’t waste any more time.

Nangong Xu was like that – appearing calm, but very stubborn.

Once he made a decision, not even Uncle would necessarily be able to change his mind.

She took a deep breath, held the silver needle tightly, and glanced at his profile again.

“So…so I’m really starting this.

If by any chance, if I end up hurting you…”

“I’ll let you know.” He nodded his head and randomly picked up a few newspapers, leisurely flipping through them.

“Start with the shoulder well, be gentle, but be fast.”

He casually gave her instructions while reading the newspaper.

“This acupoint, it soothes symptoms like shoulder periarthritis.”

“Use the silver needle with calming medicine. The way I taught you to stimulate with the needle is twice as effective as using a machine for physical therapy…”

Baili Xia’s long fingers landed on his shoulder, painstakingly identifying the correct spot.

When the needle tip rested on the acupoint, she looked at him again.

Seeing no reaction from him, she gritted her teeth and pressed down forcefully.

Nangong Xu’s face remained unchanged.

However, his grip on the newspaper tightened slightly.

But she didn’t notice this subtle change.

“Mr.

Nangong, how…how is it?”

“Nothing much; it just feels like you pressed a bit too hard.” He continued reading through the paper.

“Oh, I just… pressed a bit too hard?” If it was just a little hard, it shouldn’t be a big issue, right?

Seeing his composure, she figured there wasn’t an issue, right?

Nangong Xu paused, pressing his thin lips together.

“For me…

it’s a bit hard.

But for other people, it would be considered…

very hard.”

“…Huh?” Baili Xia froze.

For other people it would be…

very hard?

What did he mean?

“Nangong… Dear lord! Mr. Nangong, you…you’re bleeding from your shoulder well! You’re…bleeding!”

Oh my god!

What had she done?

She actually made Nangong Xu bleed at his shoulder well!

No wonder he claimed, for others, it would be considered very intense.

Good god!

She had been so severe!

She really didn’t mean to!

Flustered, Baili Xia panicked, and in her frenzy, didn’t know what to do.

“Didn’t I teach you how to stop the bleeding? What are you panicking about?”

He put down the newspaper, glanced at the blood sliding down his shoulder, and sighed.

“Still not removing the needle?

My blood is quite valuable too.”

“Ah!

I-I’ll do it now!”

She was truly terrified of herself, forgetting to remove the needle.

In a hurry, she quickly withdrew the silver needle and cleaned his wound.

Upon seeing the blood stains on the disinfectant towel, she was filled with remorse.

“I’m sorry, Mr.

Nangong, I…”

“That’s why it’s best to practice on real people.

This way you can instantly see the possible consequences.”

Nangong Xu picked up the newspaper again.

His casual words slowly drifted from his mouth.

“Try the other shoulder, there’s another shoulder well there.”

What?

Try the other side too?

Did he think there wasn’t enough blood?

Baili Xia was even afraid of herself, yet he still told her to continue!

“Mr. Nangong…”

Nangong Xu finally showed some impatience.

His eyes skimmed the newspaper while his voice quieted down a bit.

“If you’re too scared, then you might as well stop learning. I wouldn’t have to bother then.”
