Chapter 452: Little Sister Takes Action, Jin Mansion in Trouble (2)_1
However, for safety’s sake, Xiao Linshuang still volunteered to have Lao Fan examine her to see if she had identified the acupoints correctly, as this was her first real attempt at administering acupuncture, and success or failure would directly affect her future in studying medicine.
Lao Fan never performed acupuncture on women, not just to avoid suspicion, but because he had a long-forgotten matter in his heart that he couldn’t let go of. Thus, when Xiao Linshuang proposed to try it out, Lao Fan directly asked Liu Siqi to volunteer.
After much consideration, he was deemed the most suitable. In terms of seniority, he was the uncle of the Lin Yuan Sisters, so what impropriety was there in a niece giving acupuncture to her uncle?
Being named, Liu Siqi let out a wry smile, took off his shirt, and lay down on the bed, as Lao Fan said that acupuncture was only to be done on the back.
Xiao Linshuang took out her Silver Needle, which she always carried with her, and deftly sterilized it over a candle flame. Since this was her first time administering acupuncture, no one assisted her, and she independently completed all the work. This was also part of Lao Fan’s assessment of her.
After sterilizing the Silver Needle, Xiao Linshuang held one of them with her right hand. After clearly hearing Lao Fan’s instructions, she traced a line across Liu Siqi’s back with her left hand, then another line from the right until the two insubstantial lines converged at a point. Only then did she press down on that acupoint, twisted her right hand gently, and slowly inserted the needle.
Because it was her first time inserting a needle into a human body, the young girl was inevitably nervous, her needle-grasping hand trembling. However, fortunately, Lao Fan did not rush her impatiently, and the Lin Yuan Sisters were like holding their breath, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Jeng Ruyue, worried about her husband and unable to watch such scenes of needles piercing flesh, still bravely stayed by his side, clutching her handkerchief tightly without saying a word.
