Chapter 26: An Unusual Father-in-law

  Zhang Yifei wandered around the streets as if he had lost his soul, and now he didn't even have the energy to go to work.

  Thinking back to this morning's events, Zhang Yifei felt a sense of emptiness, had he been cheated? Of course not.

  At this moment, Zhang Yifei felt that he had really failed. He even forgot to ask the other person's name. How could he say that she gave her first time to him? If she was lonely and unbearable, she could contact him again, with absolutely door-to-door service.

  Men don't take their first time as seriously as women do.

  Although the woman was very generous when she left, giving him more than 2,000 yuan, Zhang Yifei could see from her eyes that she was concerned about his first time. Otherwise, relying on her beauty, she couldn't have preserved her innocence until now.

  Zhang Yifei felt a twinge of guilt towards that woman.

  Just as Zhang Yifei was wandering aimlessly, his phone rang.

  Zhang Yifei took out his phone and looked at the incoming call display. A hint of bitterness flashed across the corner of his mouth. The call was from Shao Ningdie.

  Suddenly, Zhang Yifei asked himself in his heart: "Was yesterday's incident a betrayal of Shao Ningdie?"

  "Hey!"

  "Where are you?" Shaoyingdie's voice was urgent.

  "What happened to me on the street?" Zhang Yifei's voice was very calm, calmly terrifying.

  "You're there now, I'll go find you."

  Zhang Yifei then told Shao Ningdie his location, Zhang Yifei didn't know what Shao Ningdie was looking for him, but from her urgent tone, Zhang Yifei could tell that Shao Ningdie must have something to do with him.

  Not long after, Shao Ningdie drove a white BMW and appeared in front of Zhang Yifei.

  "Zhang Yifei, get on the car!" Shao Ningdie's words were brief, but from his anxious tone, Zhang Yifei could tell that there must be something very important.

  Zhang Yifei furrowed his brow, what exactly was it that made Shao Ningdie so anxious.

  "Where did you go last night?" Shao Ningdie asked.

  "Yesterday I drank a bit too much with a friend and passed out," Zhang Yifei said without thinking.

  At the same time, she quietly asked herself in her heart, this shouldn't be considered cheating, right?

  "I thought you were playing hooky, and then you're late to work the next day." Shaoyingdie's words were laced with a sarcastic tone.

  "Sorry!"

  "There's nothing, but in the future if you don't come back at night, please let me know, you're a married man now, got it?"

  "En!" Zhang Yifei nodded.

  What Shaoyingdie said is right, now that I have a wife, I can't be like before when I was single!

  "Right, what's so urgent that you're looking for me?"

  "My dad is hospitalized!"

  "What?" Zhang Yifei looked at Shao Ningdie in disbelief, he remembered that two days ago, Shao Tianzhi was still in good health, how could he suddenly be hospitalized?

  "He's got his old illness again, Uncle Li asked me to find you, he said you should have a way." Shao Ningdie smiled bitterly.

  Zhang Yifei fell silent after hearing Shao Ningdie's words, he didn't know what the old director meant by insisting on tying himself and Shao Ningdie together, and now he was actually asked to go see Shao Tianzhi.

  "Do you believe it?" Zhang Yifei asked after a long silence.

  "I believe!" Shao Ningdie said firmly.

  "Why?"

  "Because you're my husband!"

  Shao Ningdie's words were brief, but they lingered in Zhang Yifei's ears, touching his heart.

  Why believe in yourself? The reason is simple, because you are my husband!

  Sometimes when two people live together, it's just that simple, an occasional word is more than all the sweet talk.

  Men also need to be coaxed just like women.

  Not all men in this world are getting more and more bastardized.

  About half an hour later, Zhang Yifei and Shao Ningdie appeared at the hospital.

  Inside Shao Tianzhi's ward.

  "Your leg was previously injured by a gunshot." Zhang Yifei gave his judgment after seeing the cause of Shao Tianzhi's injury.

  "And it also injured the nerves in your leg, making you prone to nerve damage. And now your toes can bend downwards a bit, but can't lift up much. Now your nerves are already in a numb stage, am I right?"

  Zhang Yifei's words fell into Shao Tianzhi's ears, like a heavy blow, and Zhang Yifei's words were not wrong.

  Shao Tianzhi nodded.

  "Why didn't you treat it at the time?"

  "At first it was too urgent, afterwards completely forgot about the matter, didn't think that as people age, the root of the illness would appear." Shao Tianzhi let out a bitter laugh.

  Listening to Zhang Yifei's words, Shao Ningdie was delighted and perhaps Zhang Yifei really had a way to get rid of the root of her father's illness.

  "When I use the silver needle to stimulate the acupoints later, it will instantly break through the obstruction. So at that time, you will feel intense pain, if you can't bear it, you can shout out loud, but absolutely cannot move. Because I have to insert eighteen needles in a row, and any mistake with even one needle will render all previous efforts useless." Zhang Yifei said while looking at the silver needles in the hospital room, explaining to Shao Tianzhi.

  "It seems the old director knows me quite well, even preparing silver needles."

  Shao Tianzhi smiled after hearing Zhang Yifei's words.

  "Do you remember what I just told you? Not a single move." Zhang Yifei said seriously, his face no longer having its usual playful expression.

  "Don't worry, I've been through all sorts of hardships and I'm not one to be intimidated by a little pain." Shao Tianzhi smiled lightly, as if it was nothing.

  "Are you ready?"

  "Come on!"

  At this time, Zhang Yifei's clear and calm eyes were filled with confidence, a sense of being in control.

  As she looked at Zhang Yifei at that moment, Shaoying's heart began to ripple with subtle waves.

  He had never seen Zhang Yifei being serious before. Now that he was being serious, his expression made her wonder if this was still the same scoundrel?

  Treatment began, and Zhang Yifei became exceptionally solemn, at this moment fully immersing himself in the role of a doctor.

  She held her breath and concentrated, grasping the silver needle, slowly placing her hand on Shao Tianzhi's thigh, the needle tip trembling slightly.

  Shao Ningdie couldn't believe what was happening in front of her, Luosuo Mei's technique was too skilled and flawless.

  The first shot was finished, and the things used were far from being as short as imagined. It took at least a minute or so to lift his hand.

  The silver needle on Shao Tianzhi's leg suddenly started trembling slightly, as if it had come to life.

  "What's the feeling."

  "Itchy, extremely itchy, as if dozens of ants are crawling on one's own body."

  "It seems that your leg has not yet reached the point of disability, this first needle is stimulating the nerves on your leg, the next few needles will be very painful, you must endure it, understand?"

  "Whoosh!" Zhang Yifei's movements were so swift and rapid that they left people dazzled.

  "Can you still bear it?" At this moment, Zhang Yifei was covered in sweat and his face turned pale and weak.

  "I can!" Shao Tianzhi gritted his teeth and said.

  "Good, there are still nine needles left. I will finish these nine needles in one breath, without any pause in between. And these nine needles are not like the previous nine needles. These nine needles can be said to be a completely different story, more painful and unbearable than the first nine."

  "The previous one was Gui Yi Jiu Zhen, and the next one is Yin Yang Jiu Zhen. You should be clear about the suffering in between!"

  Shao Tianzhi gritted his teeth and nodded at Zhang Yifei.

  The tenth shot!

  The Twelfth Shot!

  Zhang Yifei's speed became slower and slower, every time he picked up a silver needle, his fingers would tremble, as if the silver needle had a weight of thousands of tons in his hand.

  Shao Ningdie looked at the disheveled beauty covered in sweat and for the first time felt that Zhang Yifei was full of mystery.

  The sixteenth needle!

  ………

  The Eighteenth Needle!

  It took a whole half hour to complete everything, and the process was long and quiet, making it hard not to feel annoyed.

  It took nine needles half an hour to finish.

  Shao Ningdie and her mother witnessed everything before their eyes, and every time Zhang Yifei stabbed a needle, it gave Shao Ningdie and her mother a thrilling feeling, as if it were a timed bomb, the kind of repression before the explosion, even she standing beside them felt the tense and oppressive atmosphere.

  Shao Tianzhi's face was deathly pale at this moment, his lips were also pale, and he looked extremely disheveled.

  Shao Tianzhi's endurance completely exceeded Zhang Yifei's expectations, and during the acupuncture process, he didn't make a single sound.

  His father-in-law was absolutely not as simple as he usually appeared, Zhang Yifei thought to himself.

  Zhang Yifei's face was even paler than Shao Tianzhi, his eyes were filled with bloodshot, and his whole body had been drenched in sweat, dripping with sweat all over like rain.

  Zhang Yifei saw himself completely falling down eighteen needles, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. His body suddenly lost control and fell backwards.

  This change was beyond everyone's expectation, and no one could have imagined that Zhang Yifei would actually faint.
