Su Lin already had a headache, then he was startled and hit the glass window, and Old Zhongyi Lu’s roar was also deafening.

    In short, it was absolutely not a stretch to say that his current condition could be described as dizzy.

    In addition, when he watched Old Zhongyi Lu enter the room and Lu Yuanyuan break away from his hand and jump away, that was the moment the pain came to his head.

    A word suddenly just popped into Su Lin’s head.

    Mercury must be in retrograde1.

    This past week, he was totally out of luck, right?

    Without allowing him to think further, an unfamiliar voice came, “What’s going on?”

    Su Lin looked at the doorway.

    It was an elderly grandma.
Her hair and Old Zhongyi Lu’s were like a pair of lovers, snow white and snow white, without even a strand of black.

    She walked a little slowly, asking as she approached, “What’s going on here? What is happening?”

    Grandpa Lu’s angry expression stiffened for a moment.
Most of his rage instantly eased, but his expression was still unsightly, “Ask your granddaughter.”

    The moment Lu Yuanyuan saw her grandmother, she came back to her senses.

    She blinked at the old couple: “Grandpa, I was just…… handing him tissues, ah.”

    As she spoke, she lifted the package of tissues with her left hand, presenting the recently drawn out tissue in her right hand, “Look.”

    Grandpa Lu scoffed in his heart.

    But he still pretended to look like he had a dawning realization.
He said to Lu Yuanyuan pleasantly: “Yuanyuan, go out first with your grandmother.
She bought your favorite fruit.
Grandpa will give your classmate acupuncture.
As a little girl, you shouldn’t watch.”

    Lu Yuanyuan saw that her Grandpa believed her words and immediately felt relieved.
Then, she felt that it wasn’t polite to look at other people’s acupuncture.
She waved at Su Lin, “Senior, I’ll go out then.”

    Taking two steps out of the room, she turned around and added, “You got this!”

    Su Lin: “……”

    What else could he do but nod his head.

    After the door was closed, Grandpa Lu’s face flashed back to his angry expression from the beginning.

    Su Lin sighed in resignation: “……”

    Grandpa Lu walked to the table with a calm face, reopened the box containing silver needles that had just been closed, and began to re-sterilize them with alcohol pads.

    Unexpectedly, he didn’t say a word.

    Old Zhongyi Lu finished preparing.
Once he raised his head, he saw Su Lin sitting and watching him without blinking.
He was born handsome, without any wrinkles on his skin, and had the unique aura of a youngster.

    All of a sudden, he thought of the scene he just saw from the doorway.

   ….
He became more annoyed looking at him.

   “What are you looking at! Lie down!”

    “……”

    Su Lin turned over.
The front end of the massage table was specially designed with an area for a person to place their head.
He placed his face down properly.

    Immediately after that, he felt the rough touch of the calluses on the old man’s fingers pressing back and forth at the back of his neck and the back of his head.

    A heavy voice came from above him.

    “How does it feel here?”

    He hesitated for a few seconds then said truthfully, “…… It hurts.”

    Old Zhongyi Lu touched a different area, “And here?”

    “…… Also hurts.”

    “Mm.”

    “……”

    After the “mm”, there was no more movement.

    Su Lin listened to Old Zhongyi Lu’s question, and once again recalled the saying that “Old traditional medicine doctors make people feel at ease”.

    It really made sense.

    After listening to a few simple words, his palms were dry.
Compared to his initial nervousness, his heart was also very calm.

    However, it could also be that what just happened was much more frightening than acupuncture.

    “Speak if it hurts.”

    Old Zhongyi Lu’s voice came again.

    Su Lin was just about to nod-

    “Anyway, I’ll prick as usual.”

    “……”

    “………”

    –

    When Lu Yuanyuan came out of the room, she began to help her grandmother wash the fruit.
Following that, the grandparent and grandchild duo sat together on the sofa watching TV.

    “Yuanyuan,” Grandma pointed her finger to the inner room, “Inside, is that the classmate you talked about last time?”

    “Mhm.” While eating a strawberry, Lu Yuanyuan said, “He’s the senior who’s one year older than me.”

    Her Grandma keenly caught the key words, “If he’s one year older than you, then how did you meet?”

    “We have a class together, that’s how we met.”

    “Oh……”

    As she and her grandma waited for her grandma’s favorite supporting actress in the TV series to die of cancer, Lu Yuanyuan accompanied her to curse the male lead’s blindness, and she raised her eyes to look at the clock on the wall.

    Half an hour had passed since she came out.

    There was still no movement from the inner room.

    She thought back for a moment.
It seemed that when her grandpa had acupuncture patients before, after he administered the needles, most would come out to get some air or something.
They wouldn’t stay inside the whole time.

    She couldn’t help but take out her phone and open WeChat.
While her grandmother wasn’t paying attention, she sent him a message letter by letter.

    [Lu OO]:Senior, are you okay?

    She was prepared to wait for a few minutes, but she didn’t expect a reply in seconds.

    [Su Lin]: I’m fine.
It’s almost over.

    [Su Lin]: Is the fruit good?

    “……”

    Lu Yuanyuan looked at the half-eaten large, bright, and fresh strawberry she was holding in her hand.

    She thought for a moment, took a picture and sent it to him.

    [Lu OO]: [picture]

    [Lu OO]: delicious ^o^~

    There was suddenly no activity from him.

    Lu Yuanyuan thought it was because it was inconvenient for him to use his phone.
She locked her phone screen, and continued to eat strawberries and watch TV with her grandma.

   ….

    In fact, it didn’t hurt as much as one would think.

    Although the words that came out of Grandpa Lu’s mouth were alarming, his needles entered extremely fast, and not deeply.
He pretty much only felt a little prickling pain when the needle entered his skin, followed by a numb feeling of something being poked.

   ….
Quite magical.

    Old Zhongyi Lu administered a total of five needles.
After the prickling didn’t end, Su Lin felt that he was gently twisting the needles that had been inserted.

    It still wasn’t very painful, but…..

    “Is it tingling?”

    Su Lin immediately replied, “Tingling.”

    Too tingling.

    “It should be right if it’s tingling.
If it feels tingly, it’s because the acupuncture points are being stimulated.
I pricked your GV 14, GV 202……”

    While turning the needles and because of his profession, Old Zhongyi Lu habitually began to explain to his patient the purpose of each acupuncture point.

    After speaking, he suddenly realized.

    This was not an ordinary patient.

    This was a patient who came in through the back door because of his granddaughter.

    Not only did he go in through the back door, he also took his granddaughter’s little hand.

 

1 Kinda of the meaning that everything was going wrong and unlucky.

2 Previously translated as the wind point and spine point.
I did some research and these are more technical.
