Chapter 561 You Are Responsible For Holding Him Down and Preventing Him From Moving
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Within the hot springs villa.
Zi Yi woke up from her afternoon nap and Lu Jingye informed her. “Father is coming back.”
Zi Yi immediately guessed the reason for that. “Third Uncle must have been unable to handle the dispatching of the military supplies. Patriarch Lu had no choice but to have him exchange places with your Dad.”
“That’s right.”
While talking, they walked side by side outside.
They just so happened to see Ian coming out from his courtyard.
At the sight of them, Ian came over and asked, “Lu, Zi, what plans do you have for the afternoon?”
Lu Jingye asked Zi Yi, “Do you want to go skiing?”
Just as Zi Yi was about to nod her head, Ian furrowed his brows and said, “I didn’t bring my ski equipment.”
“The villa has ski equipment prepared for guests.”
“I can’t. I will have an allergic reaction if I wear someone else’s ski equipment.”
Zi Yi looked at him and she could not help but mutter, “Your allergy is really strange though.”
However, Ian did not find it strange at all. “I am allergic to anything that others have worn.”
“Then would you be allergic to the things inside the villa while residing there?”
When Zi Yi asked that question, Dou Xiangling and Dou Zerui just so happened to come out of their courtyard together.
Dou Zerui asked, “Yiyi, what allergy are you talking about?”
Zi Yi pointed at Ian and said, “I wanted to go skiing and Ian said that he would get an allergic reaction if he wore ski equipment that other people have worn before.”
Dou Zerui looked at Ian with a sympathetic gaze. “Then wouldn’t you have to prepare everything if you head out?”
an nodded his head. “I bring my own clothes and quilts.”
Dou Xiangling suddenly recalled that there was a small truck following behind Ian’s car when he arrived. She also said sympathetically, “Sir Ian, isn’t it very difficult for you when you come out?”
an shrugged. “I can’t help it, this is my body’s const.i.tution. I am unable to use things that have been used before by other people.”
Zi Yi thought about it and said, “How about this? On the account that you’re paying for the art gallery’s renovation fees, I’ll help you cure your allergy.”
“For real?” Ian was a little doubtful. “My allergy runs in the family and it can’t be cured at all. Zi, how do you intend to treat it?”
“Why can’t it be cured? It’s only a minor illness.”
Zi Yi said it so casually that even Ian was surprised. “Zi, are you really able to cure my allergy…? What are your treatment plans?”
Zi Yi originally wanted to say that prescribing him some medicine to consume will do. However, she suddenly thought of how she had been busy during this period of time and forgot to spend time practicing her silver
needles. The words that came to her mouth changed tune and she said, “I’ll insert some needles in you for two days and prescribe you two rounds of medicine to consume. You’ll be fully cured after you finish it.”
Ian was still a little skeptical. “Why do you say it as if it’s so easy?”
It was so easy that he couldn’t believe it.
Even Dou Zerui could not help but interrupt. “Yiyi, usually if allergies run in the family, it’s incurable.”
On the other hand, Dou Xiangling believed in Zi Yi. “I feel that Yiyi definitely must have a way. She can even cure a stroke.”
As compared to a stroke, an allergy was indeed considered to be a minor illness.
Upon hearing what Dou Xiangling said, Ian did not continue to voice any doubts.
“Zi, you mentioned inserting needles. When shall we do it?”
In fact, Ian did not realize that inserting needles meant acupuncture. He thought that it would still ultimately be having an injection or an IV drip and he would rather have it done as soon as possible.
“Right now is fine.”
Ian was so proactive in cooperating and Zi Yi felt that it was good for her to practice now.
“Alright, then what do I need to prepare?”
“There’s no need for you to prepare anything.”
Since she was going to give lan acupuncture, Zi Yi turned around and returned to the courtyard where she stayed.
“T’ll go grab my needles. You can go back to your room and lie down… Take off your clothes too.”
Zi Yi brought the needles to Ian’s room. Only Lu Jingye and Dou Zerui were standing there. Dou Xiangling had returned to her room.
She felt that it was not a good idea to watch a man take off his clothes and lie down on a bed.
The three of them were still casually chatting about whether there would be pheasants, rabbits, or other animals after the snow stopped.
Dou Zerui said, “Since Yiyi wants to have a barbeque, why don’t the men head down in the afternoon to take a look?”
an agreed with him. “It’s not a bad idea to make some traps and hide them under the snow.”
Zi Yi just so happened to come in and she said, “We can also dig up some winter bamboo shoots.”
Lu Jingye took the medicine box from her hands and asked, “What can I do?”
Zi Yi smiled at him. “If Ian can’t endure it anymore, you are responsible for holding him down and preventing him from moving.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head.
an was upset to hear what she said. “Zi, what do you mean by that? I’m not a kid that can’t even handle a few needles.”
Zi Yi gave him a grin and said out of kindness, “My acupuncture skills aren’t the best and perhaps I might accidentally insert a needle into your pain nerves. If you were to move then, it would cause even more pain.”
an said, “… Zi, just rest a.s.sured and insert those needles.”
Zi Yi nodded her head, opened the medicine box, and took out rows of silver needles of different sizes.
When Ian saw the variety of silver needles, his eyes widened. “Zi… you’re not only inserting a single needle?”
Zi Yi looked at him oddly. “I’m doing acupuncture on you and not giving you an injection. A single needle isn’t enough.”
Having said that, she took out different needles and said, “I’m going to start.”
She did not even give Ian the chance to react and the needles in her hand landed into his body.
“Ugh…”
“Relax. If your muscles are so tight, the needles will enter the wrong position.”
an broke out in cold sweat due to the pain. He then asked with a taut expression, “Why do your needles hurt so much?”
“| already said that my skills are lacking.”
an groaned. “Ugh…”
Dou Zerui who was standing by the side looked at Ian’s face, which was about to deform due to the pain. He asked out of kindness, “Sir lan, why don’t I find you a handkerchief? Lest you accidentally bite your tongue
later.”
an did not forget to keep on his gentlemanly facade even then. “I’ll have to trouble you. Look inside the No. 2 box in my bedroom. You can just retrieve a white towel and that will do.”
an had gotten his bodyguards to leave when the acupuncture started.
Dou Zerui nodded his head and headed towards Ian’s bedroom.
When Dou Zerui came back with a white towel in hand, there was a strange expression on his face.
This person had actually brought a whole box of towels!
He was about to pa.s.s the towel to Ian, when with cold sweat trickling down from his forehead, Ian said, “Please help me fold the towel. Thank you.”
If the towel was directly stuffed into his mouth, it would seem as if he was gagged. As a gentleman, how could he let such a scene possibly occur?
Dou Zerui helped him fold the towel before pa.s.sing it to him to bite down on.
Sometime later, Zi Yi said to him, “I’m going to insert the last few needles. I’ll take the needles out in half an hour, bear with it a little more.”
Ian nodded his head.
Zi Yi’s hand moved swiftly.
“Ugh…” lan nearly bounced up from the bed in pain.
“Sorry, this will be the last needle.”
When Zi Yi finally announced that she was done, Ian lay down on the bed while doubting his reasons for living.
He was thinking if he should let Zi Yi continue giving him acupuncture the next time.
Zi Yi seemed to have seen through his thoughts, as she said with a smile, “Don’t think of giving up halfway. I’ll only be doing it two times and after that, I’ll prescribe two rounds of medicine. You’ll be thanking me after
you finish the medicine.”
At the same time, she added. “I finally know why you don’t have a girlfriend.”
Tan:”…”
Her words were simply a devastating blow. .
