It had been a long time since Huo Yao used this method. Even so, her movements were not rusty at all. Her eyes lit up and she seemed a little excited.
The pain in Min Yu's body had subsided significantly. The more he looked at Huo Yao, the weirder he felt.
It was as though he was just a lab rat for her to practice her skills on.
"Kiddo, why do I feel like you're using me as a guinea pig?" asked Min Yu with narrowed eyes.
Huo Yao's hand paused. She raised her head and glanced at Min Yu before replying without a change in expression. "You're overthinking it."
She veered her eyes away and continued inserting the silver needles into his acupoints. Two seconds later, she pressed gently on the acupoints with her fingers, and the silver needles came out easily.
Half an hour later, Huo Yao finally removed the last silver needle. She pulled the blanket over Min Yu and slumped weakly on the chair.
Her face was even paler than the first time she applied the needles. Her hands rested on her knees and she could not exert much strength.
"That's all for today. I'll apply the needles again in a few days. You shouldn't have the same symptoms anymore."
Huo Yao paused before she continued. "As for your old illness, I need to do some research on it."
"Uh huh," replied Min Yu in a deep voice.
He sat up slowly. The blanket slid down, revealing his muscular chest. His handsome face was pale, and he exuded a sense of abstinence.
Huo Yao glanced at him before she veered her eyes unhurriedly and said, "You better lie down and rest."
Min Yu raised his brow. He picked up his clothes unhurriedly and put them on. "I feel much better already."
Did she not know who did it?
Huo Yao coughed and said, "Oh. That's good."
She stood up with the help of the chair. She turned around and put away the silver needles with her back facing Min Yu.
Min Yu was already dressed. He strolled over to Huo Yao and watched her put away the silver needles slowly. Then he glanced at the metal box next to her.
The metal box was simple and unadorned. There was no sign of rust on it, and there were dark patterns on it. Min Yu's eyes landed on the patterns. Just as he was about to take a closer look, Huo Yao took the box away.
Huo Yao opened the metal box and placed the needles inside before closing it. She raised her head and looked at Min Yu. "I'm going back. Call me if you need anything."
Min Yu's eyes landed on Huo Yao's face. His eyes dimmed when he saw how exhausted she looked. "You've worked hard tonight."
Huo Yao waved her hand at him. "You're welcome. Remember to transfer the money."
As she spoke, she was already walking towards the door.
Min Yu's lips twitched. He paused for two seconds before he followed her.
Huo Yao opened the door and saw Zhuo Yun pacing back and forth outside.
"Miss Huo, Yu..." asked Zhuo Yun hurriedly. Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed his boss standing behind her. "Yu, are you done?"
Min Yu nodded.
Zhuo Yun heaved a huge sigh of relief. He looked at Huo Yao gratefully. He recalled the ginseng soup in the kitchen and hurriedly said, "Oh, Miss Huo. I made you some ginseng soup. I'll go get it now."
After that, he quickly walked down the stairs.
Huo Yao raised her brow and turned to look at Min Yu. "Zhuo Yun is quite meticulous."
