Chapter 116: Are You Afraid of Injections?
Su Yayan understood what he said, and instead of being comforted, she became even angrier.
How dare he underestimate her! Hmph, wait until she heals him! She must punish him for his underestimation and suspicion of her abilities when that day arrives!
Huo Chenhuan did not know that his “petty” fiancée had taken this incident to heart and took the initiative to change the subject. “You just said your grandfather wanted to see me?”
“Yes, but Grandpa did not say when he wanted to see you. Do you have time lately?”
Huo Chenhuan was just about to say that he was available at any time, but he suddenly paused and said apologetically, “I have something to deal with tomorrow. I should be available the day after tomorrow.”
“It’s okay, don’t worry for now. You can settle your matters first, and I will talk to grandpa,” Su Yayan said. She soon thought of something else and asked him tentatively, “Are you afraid of… injections?”
“Injections?” Huo Chenhuan was a little confused.
“Yes.” Su Yayan tried to gesture with her hands. “The needles are probably this big and this long.”
Huo Chenhuan was silent for a while before he said with some difficulty, “I’m not afraid.”
Su Yayan, “…” That was not what his expression said.
He was a grown man in his twenties, who turned out to be like a child… was he afraid of injections?
Su Yayan had got the wrong idea. Huo Chenhuan was not afraid of injections, but the needle length that she gestured.
With such a long needle, will it not kill him if she stuck it in him?
So, was this really a perfect misunderstanding?!
After hanging up the video call, Su Yayan’s heart settled slightly. Looking at her newly released Encyclopedia of Acupuncture and Moxibustion and the Meridians and Acupoints Diagram, her eyes glittered hopefully.
Although she really wanted to start treating Huo Chenhuan now, his legs needed to undergo combined treatments of medicinal cuisine, Chinese herbal baths, acupuncture, and even ma.s.sages. Before that, she still had to earn some Likeability Points to exchange them for various Chinese medicine seeds, which she would use in the herbal bath.
Secondly, this would be the first time she was to try acupuncture. The needle was so thin and long, would she accidentally poke it in crookedly? Or would it hurt or bleed after she sticks it in askew?
Thinking of this, Su Yayan did not dare to poke needles into Huo Chenhuan just yet. At least… at least she had to wait until she practiced it more.
However, before that…
Su Yayan blinked her eyes and took out some mature Chinese herbal medicine from the system’s inventory before getting up and walking to her grandfather’s room.
Grandpa Cheng had just finished reading his book and was about to rest when he heard a sudden knock on the door of his room.
He saw his granddaughter as soon as he opened the door, and his eyes lit up. He smiled and asked warmly, “Why are you here?”
“Is grandpa going to rest? I have something to discuss with you.”
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s about the food that we ate tonight.”
When Su Yayan went downstairs the next morning, the old man was already taking a stroll in the courtyard.
Seeing that Su Yayan had come down, he gave a cold snort and turned his back to water the flowers. He poured so much water on a dahlia that it looked like it might drown at any time.
Su Yayan looked dumbfounded and turned her head to look at his mother, wondering out loud, “What happened to grandpa?”
Did they not have a good talk last night? Why was he upset after a night?
Cheng Xiuqin looked at her accusingly and sighed. “Isn’t it because of you?”
“Because of me?”
Cheng Xiuqin rolled her eyes at her daughter. “Yes, you. Who asked you to send Dun Dun to that young lad of the Huo family? Don’t you know how much your grandpa likes that dog? Every time he comes, he would take it out for a walk.”
