230 Looking for Xiang Yin
“I ate it. Ever since the acupuncture last time, I feel that my body has improved a lot. That sense of powerlessness never appeared again.”
Gu Man raised her hand to feel her grandmother’s pulse. It was indeed stronger than before. It seemed like she was taking her medicine on time.
“Come in. I’ll perform acupuncture on Grandma. You have to persevere and maintain an optimistic att.i.tude.”
“Got it. Manman has become naggy. Grandma is very happy. Previously, you hung up after a few words when Grandma called you. Now, you’re making up for what you didn’t say before.”
Gu Man was a little dazed. Memories surfaced in her mind. At that time, Gu Man was afraid that Gu Yuan would discover that she had contact with Grandma and chase her out of the Gu family, so she rarely took the initiative to call.
Even if the call connected, it always ended after a few words, causing her grandmother to not call much after that.
“Now that I’m by your side, you can say whatever you want.”
Gu Man retracted her thoughts and pushed her grandmother into the room.
The acupuncture this time was even more tiring than the last time. Perhaps it was because her spiritual power had yet to recover completely, but after the acupuncture, Gu Man was exhausted.
If she appeared in front of her grandmother and uncle like this, they would definitely not let her perform acupuncture again.
Gu Man took a deep breath. It was best if she could find someone to help her.
Xiang Yin’s figure appeared in her mind immediately. Looking at her grandmother, who was about to wake up, she did not hesitate anymore and quickly picked up her phone to send the message.
Xiang Yin was upstairs. Although she did not know if he was home at this time, she could only place her hopes on him.
As soon as Gu Man stood up from the table beside her, her vision darkened and she almost fell.
She still could not rely on finding the Sarira alone. It was time to go to the ghost market again. With such a lack of spiritual power, it would be harmful to her body if she remained like this for a long time.
Gu Man found the kettle in the room and swallowed a mouthful of water before feeling that her body had recovered a little strength. At least she was not in too much of a sorry state.
Gu Man sat by the bed until her phone vibrated. She stood up suddenly to ease the dizziness caused by her sudden standing. She lowered her head and pushed her grandmother out. At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Huang Jun wanted to come over and see how Grandmother was doing. When he heard the doorbell, he could only open the door first. When she saw Xiang Yin behind the door, Gu Man heaved a sigh of relief.
She left her grandmother where she was and hurried over. Before Huang Jun could greet her, he heard Gu Man’s slightly tired voice. “Uncle, I have an appointment with him. The acupuncture is over. Look after Grandma.”
While Huang Jun turned around to look at his grandmother, Gu Man closed the door. The next second, her body went limp and she fell into Xiang Yin’s arms.
Xiang Yin was still wondering why Gu Man would suddenly send a message to him. Seeing this scene, what else did he not understand?
He picked Gu Man up and walked down hurriedly. “Gu Man, how are you?”
“I’m a little tired. Don’t send me to the hospital. I’ll be fine after resting.”
Gu Man grabbed Xiang Yin’s sleeve tightly, as if she was stopping him.
Xiang Yin frowned, but looking at Gu Man’s firm gaze, he could only turn around helplessly.
“Alright, let’s go to my house. I’ll call Cui Lin over, okay?”
Hearing Xiang Yin’s promise, Gu Man let go, leaned against Xiang Yin’s chest and closed her eyes.
This was a rare scene of Gu Man cowering obediently in his arms, but Xiang Yin did not feel any ambiguity. Instead, he was even more worried.
How tired was she to become like this?
The corners of Xiang Yin’s mouth tightened. He opened the door and placed Gu Man in his bedroom. He turned around and called Cui Lin over.
As soon as Gu Man lay on the bed, she sank in. The soft mattress surrounded her from all sides, and the temperature kept rising. The smell that belonged to Xiang Yin also swept over.
For some reason, her heart raced and a blush crept up her neck and face.
She sized up the layout of the bedroom. Although it was very clean and tidy, she could vaguely see traces of life.
