Ever since Huo Tingrui saw his little sister's silver needle, he had a hunch that he would be pricked sooner or later.
Sure enough, his hunch was about to come true in just a few days!
Huo Yao glanced at Tingrui and said airily, "You can choose between doing acupuncture or telling Mom and Dad that you're in trouble."
Huo Tingrui, "???"
Huo Yao ignored his shocked expression. She yawned and unilaterally ended the conversation. "Fine. Tomorrow it is. I'm off tomorrow anyway. Goodnight, Brother Tingrui."
Huo Tingrui, "!!!"
How could he sleep well?
He would probably have nightmares for the whole night!
...
The next day, Huo Tingrui went downstairs with his panda eyes. He walked quietly and scanned the living room to make sure no one was around before he exhaled deeply.
He suddenly felt like a thief.
Huo Tingrui sighed in his heart. Just as he poured himself a glass of warm water, the door to the small room on the first floor opened. He raised his head and saw Huo Yao walking out.
Huo Tingrui's hands trembled, and he almost dropped the glass.
Huo Yao approached him and noticed his stiff movements. She could not help calling out to him. "Brother Tingrui?"
She had gone into the small room to refine medicine early in the morning, so there was a faint herbal scent on her.
Huo Tingrui coughed and took a sip of the water to cover up his gaffe. "Are you making medicine again?"
"Uh huh." Huo Yao nodded. She went to the kitchen to get a glass of milk before she came back and said to Huo Tingrui, "Breakfast is in the insulated cabinet."
Then she returned to the small room.
She was off today, so she could refine medicine for the Apothecaries' Association.
Huo Yao turned sideways to look at the dining room when she reached the door. She said, "Oh yes, Brother Tingrui. I'll be done in an hour. I'll give you the acupuncture afterward."
Huo Tingrui thought he had dodged a bullet. "..."
By the time he raised his head to reject her, Huo Yao had already entered the room and closed the door.
Huo Tingrui walked into the kitchen in despair.
An hour later, Huo Tingrui was forced to lean against the headboard. He looked at the long silver needle in Huo Yao's hand and felt his scalp go numb. Reluctance was written all over his face. "Yao, you don't have to be so... serious, right?"
Huo Yao did not even raise her head. She continued what she was doing. "Do you know how much it costs to give someone an injection?"
Huo Tingrui hurriedly asked, "How much?" All he wanted was to pay double the price.
Huo Yao glanced sideways at him. "Lie down."
Huo Tingrui said, "Oh."
Wow, looks like money doesn't work.
Huo Tingrui took off his shirt in despair and laid down like a dead fish. He stared at the ceiling and asked. "Does it hurt?"
Huo Yao raised her brow. "Not bad."
"Then you still have to be gentle." Young Master Huo's voice was gloomy as he added, "Your brother is afraid of pain."
"Yes."
The needle couldn't go any further before it even started.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead. After all, he was her biological older brother. She picked up a silver needle and sealed his five senses before starting the acupuncture.
Huo Tingrui did not feel anything other than the stinging pain at the beginning. However, he could still clearly feel the needle piercing his body. He could not help looking up and asked curiously. "Did you apply anesthetic on the needle?"
Huo Tingrui paused and glanced sideways at him without saying a word. After she inserted the needle into his acupuncture points, she said calmly, "Sometimes, pain is necessary to keep a person sane."
