Chapter 126: Not A Big Deal.
Ning Siyuan and Xia Junsheng were scared stiff. Their faces were ashen white when they turned to the source of the noise, only to see the inch-long needle dangling right in front of Ning Qirui’s chest, the skin of his chest still perfectly intact.
The two of them, “???”
Not only them, but Su Yayan was also so frightened by the shriek her hand was shaking. She squinted and realise that her needle was not even touching his skin yet.
Su Yayan frowned, aimed and as she was about to insert the needle, a long screeching yelp was heard again.
The three of them in the ward, “!!!”
Needle approached, screams. Needle tried to approach again, shrieks…
After a few rounds, Su Yayan felt her ears ringing annoyingly. She slammed her hands on the table in irritation and roared, “What’re you screaming your head off for? The needle did not even touch you yet, so what in the world are you screeching about? Even little girls don’t howl as loud as a man like you when they have shots unless you’re just warming up for a performance in the future in front of your boss, so you can venture into being an opera soprano as well?”
Xi Junsheng’s eye twitched when he heard what Su Yayan had said. He subtly reminded her. “Yayan, Qirui was discovered in a talent show. He was a vocalist first before his other talents.”
Su Yayan guffawed. “He’s a vocalist first? No wonder his howls and shrieks sounded like adlibs. For those who didn’t know, they might think that he’s performing a woman’s solo!”
After all of the mocking, Ning Qirui was no longer the haughty wealthy brat he was, but instead, he shrunk inwardly and whimpered like a child, “I… I-i’m s-scared…”
“You’re scared now? Who was the one that was all high and mighty before this? This is the last warning I’m gonna give you. If you’re gonna scream your head off one more time, I’ll poke you with so many needles you become a porcupine, then you can yell all you want.”
Ning Qirui was so frightened he started hiccupping while he was crying, his red-rimmed eyes looked accusingly at Su Yayan.
This woman was no human, she was a demon!
Su Yayan felt a headache coming as she saw how Ning Qirui was. “Fine, you two, come and help me hold him down so that he doesn’t move about.”
Ning Siyuan and Xia Junsheng wanted to be as far away as they could from Su Yayan, but unfortunately, they were called by name to help Su Yayan. They looked at each other, and even though they really did not want to, they marched up to Ning Qirui and clamped him down with one on each side.
Ning Qirui wanted to cry, even though he could not. He felt like a chicken on the chopping board that was about to be slaughtered, and Su Yayan was the butcher with the menacingly sharp butcher knife.
When Su Yayan saw that he was finally under control, she sighed in relief. She focused on the acupuncture point she was going to insert her needle in and leaned forward.
Ning Qirui was about to scream again when he saw the needle approaching when his brother forcefully covered his mouth with his hand. All he could do was to watch the needle slowly poking through his flesh.
It did not hurt like how he had expected it to, instead, it was a hair-standing, eerily odd feeling.
Ning Siyuan and Xia Junsheng were very relieved when they saw that the needle finally went in.
Before they could celebrate, they saw a tiny spray of blood from where the needle was at.
To say that it was a spray of blood was inaccurate, it was more like two to three tiny drops of blood, but it had brought a huge gloomy cloud down on those who were present.
“…”
The atmosphere in the ward was a little awkward. Ning Qirui’s face was so ghostly white he looked like he was about to pa.s.s out.
Su Yayan too realized that she might have narrowly missed the point she intended to puncture and laughed dryly. “Cough, it’s been a while since I last did this, I must be a little rusty now. It’s no big deal, it’s really no biggie.”
The other three, “…” How is this not a big deal?
“Boo… Hoo…” Ning Qirui burst out into floods of tears for real this time. He cried so hard he was about to drown from his own tears.
