The room was quiet.
Except for Grandpa Lu disinfecting the needles and the occasional rustling of clothes, no one spoke.

  Old Zhongyi Lu stared at the youth lying on the massage table for a while.  

  This child was really handsome but on his forehead, was that…. sweat?

  Was he scared?

  If scared, why did he come with his granddaughter to get treatment?  

  Old Zhongyi Lu criticized him inwardly but his hands didn’t stop their actions, and his mouth wasn’t idle: “Youngsters nowadays, ah.
Medicine is too bitter, acupuncture is too painful.
Aiya, afraid of this and scared of that.
Why come to get traditional medicine?”  

  But in fact, what he just said was true.

  His words were right.
Su Lin’s wet hair was blown for so long by the evening breeze.
If he could somehow not get a headache, that was good luck.
For traditional medicine, the focus was on conditioning one’s body.
Such an intense and aggressive wind entered his body and triggered his headache.
The best way was to directly stimulate the acupuncture points to drain the moisture and gas.  

  But Old Zhongyi Lu didn’t want to explain that.

  Young people’s mental states could be honed.  

  “……”

  Su Lin felt that Grandpa Lu’s words seemed to hint at something.  

  Old Zhongyi’s Lu words were reasonable, and he could still see the edge of Lu Yuanyuan’s white skirt out of the corner of his eye.

  Su Lin closed his eyes, trying desperately to make mental preparations.

  But his mind still couldn’t stop envisioning the bloody scene of needles piercing into his skull, and there was even a scary voiceover echoing in his ear.  

  There seemed to be a saying that in the traditional medicine profession: the older your doctor was, the more popular they were.
There were also people who said that looking at the white color of their hair and listening to their elderly voice could make their heart feel more stable.  

  …… They were all deceiving liars.

  He still fucking panicked.  

  “Grandpa,” Lu Yuanyuan suddenly broke the silence, her slippers shuffling as she walked to the tableside.
She looked at him, “Um, do you have to do acupuncture? Can’t he drink medicine?”  

  There was nothing to criticize about Old Zhongyi Lu’s medical skills.
After closing his own clinic, his old patients still referred large numbers of people to come seek treatment, with eight out of ten patients requiring acupuncture.
After spending the summer at her grandfather’s house, she was no longer surprised by anything.

  But….

  Just now, Lu Yuanyuan moved beside the two and could see Su Lin’s movements clearly.
From the beginning, he arrived looking very uncomfortable, looking very unspirited.

  And now….

  She felt that she had known Senior Su for a month, but when grandpa revealed the row of needles for a moment, it was probably when she saw his eyes opened that wide.  

  She didn’t know why, but she recalled his usual calm look.
Even when called on to answer questions he didn’t know how to answer, there was little change in his expression.

  Now looking like this, she actually wanted to laugh a little.  

  “Hm?” Old Zhongyi Lu, questioned by his granddaughter, was immediately upset and wrinkled his white eyebrows, “You know medicine? I said that this method is the quickest.
Do you think that Grandpa would mess with him for no reason?”

  Grandpa Lu was a southerner, but Lu Yuanyuan’s grandma was a northeasterner.
After living together for decades, her grandma’s pure northeastern dialect hadn’t changed at all, but rather, grandpa was actually the one completely led astray.  

  “……” Lu Yuanyuan was helpless.

  Sometimes, Grandpa really didn’t match his calm and steady appearance.

  She was going to try and persuade him again when the sound of the security door being opened came from the entranceway outside the house. 

  It should be Grandma coming back.

  Lu Yuanyuan was just about to say something-  

  “Your Grandma is back!” Old Zhongyi Lu placed the silver needles back into the box and hurriedly went out, “You two stay here and talk.
I’ll be back in a moment.”

  His mouth also didn’t stop talking, “I have to go to help her carry things.
I don’t know how many things she bought….”  

  Lu Yuanyuan: “……”  

  Although Grandpa was old, when anxious, his walking speed wasn’t ambiguous in the least.
He left the room in a few steps.  

  Leaving the two of them in the room.  

  Lu Yuanyuan watched as Su Lin slowly propped himself into a sitting position.
The table was a little small and he seemed like he had nowhere to place his legs.  

  She felt that the situation was a bit awkward.

  “Um,” She tried to explain, “My Grandpa….
usually goes to buy groceries with Grandma.
He didn’t go today, so he….”

  After thinking for a while, she summoned her courage to say: “…… So he was in a hurry to see her.
Don’t take offense, senior.”  

  Su Lin had a blank look on his face.

  Then shook his head, “Not offended.”  

  “Senior,” Lu Yuanyuan bit her lip, thinking it was better to ask him clearly, “Do you..
not want acupuncture?”

  After all, he probably intended for Grandpa to prescribe medicine for him to drink.
If by chance he was unusually afraid of pain or would faint during the acupuncture or something….

  That’d be bad.  

  Su Lin was silent.

  He was the one who wanted to come get treatment.
She even politely reminded him that Western medicine would work better, yet.

  He himself said that he had a headache and insisted on coming.  

  He felt that if he got off this table today….
Everything he did was for nothing.

  He absolutely couldn’t get off.

  If he didn’t get the acupuncture, what was the meaning of the previous troubles and difficulties-  

  He hadn’t finished psychologically preparing himself when he saw the little girl standing on the side suddenly come over.  

  The little girl tilted her head, “Senior, are you afraid?”

  Her small face was almost within reach.
Her skin was glowing white, the black pupils of her eyes clear and shining, her hair fluffy, and a smile curved around her pink lips.  

  “……”  

  She held a packet of pink tissues in her hand, tore open the packaging then pulled out a tissue and handed it to him, “Here, wipe your sweat.”  

  At that moment, Su Lin’s heart seemed to be hit by something, and his brain was blank.
While receiving the tissue, his body was possessed.

  He grabbed the little girl’s outstretched hand.

  It felt warm and soft.
Just like her.  

  Lu Yuanyuan swiftly opened her eyes wide.  

  From outside came the sound of an old couple conversing and the sound of bustling in the kitchen, but the innermost room was completely silent.  

  The massage table was against the window.
Sunlight from outside spilled in, immediately shining on Su Lin’s body.
His silhouette was haloed by the light, almost frozen like a scene from a picture.  

  The moment their skin touched, Lu Yuanyuan’s whole body froze, completely forgetting to take her hand back.

  Also not hearing the sound of footsteps approaching.  

  Old Zhongyi Lu helped his wife wash and put away all the vegetables she bought, said a couple of sweet words, before coming back to do his job.

  Originally humming a little song, in a very good mood.

  In the end, once he got to the doorway, he saw the scene of his precious granddaughter and some guy holding hands and looking deep into each other’s eyes.  

  “……?!” Dumbstruck.  

  What character his granddaughter had, he was the most clear.

  She came to live with them for a few months during summer vacation.
The community also had many other youngsters who came to live with their elders for a period of time.

  They always took Lu Yuanyuan on their walks and when visiting others.
Old Li’s grandson also looked at their family’s Yuanyuan with a little bit of interest, but then he went away to college.
He heard Old Li say that Yuanyuan didn’t even give him her WeChat.  

  And now this?

  He had only been gone a few minutes??

  Yuanyuan and this brat???

  Old Zhongyi Lu only felt anger instantly rushing to the top of his head, feeling like his own lungs were going to explode.  

  He immediately entered the room, took a deep breath, and roared: “You two!!!!”  

  Such a loud volume, making the two people staring at each other in the room jump a little.

  Lu Yuanyuan immediately loosened her hand, jumped back, instantly distancing from the massage table.

  Su Lin sat up straight, the back of his head slamming into the windowpane directly behind him.

  Letting out a muffled “bang”.  

  …… Fuck.

  It hurt a lot.  

  He gritted his teeth.
In the middle of the dizzying pain, he looked at the white haired and white eyebrowed Old Zhongyi Lu’s face turn red with anger.

  Though he was old, his roar was still full of vigor.

  There was still a little bit of ‘exposing the two’ in his voice.  

  – “You two! What were you doing just now!!!!!!”  

  Lu Yuanyuan: “……”  

  Su Lin: “…………”

  Right now, Su Lin very much wanted to give his mother a call.

 

The author has something to say.

Grandpa: Little! Young! Rabbit! Child! (draws knife)

Lin ge: Mom….
