Chapter 6: Ning Yu's Aunt Has Arrived

  As soon as he entered the room, Su Nan felt that the atmosphere was very strange.

  At this time, Chen Tong and Ning Yu were both watching TV in the living room. It's unknown what's so good about those long and unwholesome idol dramas that are like pickled vegetables, but the two of them could watch with great relish.

  But tonight, the two of them were actually staying in the room.

  Hearing Su Nan open the door, Chen Tong poked his head out of the room, looked at him and asked: "Su Nan, can you help me go out and buy some medicine?"

  "What's wrong, are you sick? Where does it hurt?" Su Nan asked.

  "No, I'm fine. You can just help me buy some painkillers, no need to ask more." Chen Tong's face looked a bit awkward, stuttering and seemingly hiding something.

  Su Nan saw Chen Tong's appearance and felt a bit anxious, "Chen Tong, you can't take medicine randomly. If you have any situation, just tell me. I've studied medicine, I can help you diagnose it. That way, we can treat the symptoms and get better faster."

  "It's useless." Chen Tong shook his head and said, "This is not some kind of serious illness that is hard to cure."

  "Isn't it a serious illness that's hard to cure?" Su Nan was even more puzzled, "Chen Tong, let me diagnose you. It's evening now, the light is not good, you don't seem to have any symptoms, I need to take your pulse to diagnose you."

  As he spoke, Su Nan walked up to Chen Tong and reached out to grab her wrist.

  "Hey, what are you doing!" Chen Tong shook off Su Nan's hand, "I'm not sick, Ning Yu is the one who's sick. Why don't you go out and buy some medicine instead? Just a few painkillers will do."

  Hearing that Ning Yu was unwell, she was still in her room. Su Nan didn't dare to barge in directly, so he clung to Chen Tong instead. "What's wrong with Ning Yu? Ask her for me, and if she's willing, I can try taking her pulse. Trust me, whatever illness she has, I'll cure it."

  Seeing Su Nan being unclear, Chen Tong was a bit annoyed and angry. "Su Nan, why are you so nagging? Let me tell you, Ning Yu is not sick, it's just her aunt's visit."

  "Oh, it's not Ning Yu's illness, but her aunt's illness." Su Nan didn't panic because of Chen Tong's anger and calmly said, "Then you go ask Ning Yu's aunt if I can help take a look at her illness."

  "My goodness!" Chen Tong had a helpless expression, "Su Nan, I'm really defeated by you! Ning Yu's stomach hurts because her aunt has come. You go help buy a few pain-relieving pills, it's such a simple thing, what did you do with me here chattering for so long?"

  By this time, Su Nan gradually understood. It turned out that this aunt was not Ning Yu's relative.

  "Chen Tong, are you saying that Ning Yu has dysmenorrhea? In that case, it's better not to take painkillers. Taking too much medicine is not good for the body. I'll go and treat her instead. After a few sessions of acupuncture and massage, I guarantee that her dysmenorrhea will be cured and won't recur."

  "What, you say it can be cured and won't relapse?" Seeing Su Nan's confident appearance, Chen Tong asked in disbelief, "This illness, even the hospital doctors couldn't cure it, how can you really cure it?"

  Su Nan nodded firmly, "Chen Tong, don't worry, I can cure this illness."

  "Cut it out, who would believe that? You're so young, what kind of advanced medical skills could you possibly have." Chen Tong still didn't believe Su Nan's words.

  Although in a hurry, Su Nan was still explaining to Chen Tong. As a doctor, the first thing is to make the patient believe in himself, and then the patient will cooperate with the doctor for treatment. Although Chen Tong was not a patient, due to Ning Yu's special illness, having Chen Tong speak on her behalf would make it easier for Su Nan to accept.

  "Chen Tong, don't look at my age. I have been learning traditional medicine from my grandfather since I was three years old, and I have studied for 15 years. In this regard, my experience should be on the same level as those doctors in their thirties or forties in the hospital, right? Moreover, I was taught by my grandfather alone, which is more effective than learning in a school with dozens of students in one class. Now do you acknowledge my medical skills?"

  After listening to Su Nan's explanation, Chen Tong gradually began to believe in his medical skills. "Okay, you come and take a look at Ning Yu. Actually, we also know that taking too much medicine is not good, but there's no other way, no good treatment methods, can only rely on painkillers to hold on for a while."

  It had been several days since they lived together, but it was Su Nan's first time entering Ning Yu's room. The entire room was in shades of pink, from the bed sheets to the computer desk and even the computer itself. Who would have thought that Ning Yu, who seemed so calm and collected on the surface, was actually a sweet and innocent candy girl in private?

  Just now, what Sunan and Chen Tong said at the door, Ning Yu had already heard, so she also knew what Sunan came in to do. It's just that such a thing is after all a girl's privacy, and facing a boy face-to-face also makes her feel embarrassed. Half-reclining on the bed, Ning Yu frowned tightly, but her face was blushing bright red.

  "Ning Yu, let Su Nan take a look at you." Chen Tong walked to the bedside and said softly to Ning Yu. In her heart, of course, she hoped that her good friend could be healthy and strong. She was also a girl and had experienced pain before, knowing the taste. Now it's possible to get rid of this torture completely, which is what she wanted to see.

  "Mm." Ning Yu bit her lip and nodded slightly, letting out a soft hum from her nose to indicate her agreement. She was already not as open-minded as Chen Tong, let alone allowing a male roommate to treat such a sensitive condition. If it were at the hospital facing a doctor, that would be one thing, but Su Nan was just a fellow tenant living with them.

  She focused her mind, Su Nan didn't consider anything else, and put all her attention on treating the illness. She walked to Ning Yu's bedside, let Ning Yu stretch out her hand, and placed her fingers on her wrist to feel the pulse situation.

  "No problem, it can be cured." After taking the pulse, Su Nan stood up and said affirmatively. "You wait, I'll go to the room to get the needle, her condition requires acupuncture, and with massage, she will recover in three days."

  "Really?" Ning Yu asked excitedly, her voice trembling with a hint of choking, with a flavor of being so happy that she was on the verge of tears.

  The one who can truly feel the taste of this illness is herself. Every month, every time it's about to act up, she'll be on edge, starting to sleep poorly a day or two in advance. And after it starts, it's even more unbearable, for the first day or two, the pain makes her want to find an awl and stab herself a few times to shift that kind of pain.

  Now suddenly heard of Su Nan saying that it can be treated and even completely cured, with no recurrence afterwards. How could she not be delighted?

  Chen Tong, who was standing beside her, also heard the news and was delighted for Ning Yu. She urged Su Nan, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and get the needle, treat Ning Yu as soon as possible, so she can get rid of the pain sooner."

  Seeing Ning Yu still wearing that sleepwear, Su Nan reminded him, "This time we need to do the needlework on the belly, Ning Yu you should change your clothes."

  When Su Nan brought back the silver needle, Ning Yu had already changed out of her sleepwear and was wearing a pink tight-fitting seven-eighths pants and a light yellow pure cotton T-shirt.

  Perhaps thinking of exposing her belly in front of Su Nan, Ning Yu's face had been red all along. In fact, she had also worn a midriff-baring top to go out on the streets before, but the feeling was different from now. When she thought about lifting up her clothes and letting Su Nan stare at her belly, she felt as if there was a wave of heat flowing through her body, making her feel like her whole body was burning.

  It was also the first time for Su Nan to see a girl's body at such close range in his life.

  Ning Yu pulled up her T-shirt, revealing her pure white body in front of Su Nan. As a dance major in the art department, years of training had given her a slender waist, flat and smooth without an ounce of excess flesh. Her skin was delicate and pale, shining brightly under the light, as if surrounded by a halo. Her navel was round and smooth, with a small hole in the center, tied to a tiny bell that quivered with each breath, emitting a faint tinkling sound.

  "Are you stunned? Don't just stand there, hurry up and do something." Chen Tong saw Su Nan standing there in a daze, only staring at Ning Yu's body, and couldn't help but remind him.

  "Uh, I'm looking for the acupoint." Su Nan replied casually. In fact, at his level, after taking a glance, as long as Ning Yu didn't move, he wouldn't make a mistake even with his eyes closed. It's just that Su Nan would never admit that he was mesmerized by Ning Yu's beautiful waist.

  "Have you found it or not? Hurry up, how much longer do you need to look?" Chen Tong urged again. Suddenly, a surge of indescribable feelings welled up in her heart.

  They just co-rented with Sunan, and there was no other relationship between them. However, watching her existence, Sunan stared at another girl's body, still making her feel uncomfortable. In fact, thinking about it, she herself found it funny, this kind of jealousy, eating without reason.

  Su Nan had no idea what Chen Tong was thinking, assuming she was just worried about Ning Yu. Without hesitation, he directly pulled out the silver needle from the needle bag and slowly inserted it into the acupoint he had previously found.

  Ning Yu lay flat, unable to see the silver needles entering her body. Chen Tong stood beside her and could see clearly. Seeing the long silver needles piercing Ning Yu's body, he gritted his teeth and stood by, enduring the pain for Ning Yu.

  "Ning Yu, how are you? Does it hurt?" Chen Tong asked with concern. Ning Yu was her good sister, and Chen Tong did not want her to get hurt, nor did she want her to feel pain.

  "It doesn't hurt." Ning Yu replied, "There's a bit of sourness and swelling, but I also feel my stomach is warm and cozy, it feels great. And my stomach isn't hurting as much anymore."

  "Really?" Chen Tong exclaimed in surprise, "It's so amazing, the doctors at the hospital didn't have a good solution, but Su Nan just gave a few injections and was able to stop the pain, he can be called a divine doctor."

  "Uh-huh", Ning Yu nodded, "I feel much better now. Xunan, thank you."

  "Don't speak, lie quietly." Sou Nan instructed, "Breathe as steadily as possible and keep your body calm. This will ensure the effectiveness of the acupuncture treatment. If you have anything to say, wait until after the treatment is finished."
