Chapter 91 First Acupuncture

If Lin Wan weren’t paralyzed in the lower limbs right now, Lu Zheng would really want to turn her over and spank her.

Bro’s thinking of excuses to find ways to save you, and you’re wondering why I’m not dead yet?

Even though Lu Zheng knew Lin Wan’s skepticism was reasonable, he still wanted to spank her.

Forget it, I’ll just keep a mental note of it for later.

"I’m talking about something serious here."

Lu Zheng tried to steer the conversation back, but no matter what he said, it didn’t sound serious.

"Look at me, I’ve really developed Qi Sensitivity, so I’m tougher than others. Besides, I suspect my reaction speed is faster than the average person. It might not be innate; perhaps it’s because of my self-acupuncture.

You see, reaction speed is essentially nerve reaction speed, and my needle technique and Qi Sensitivity can stimulate nerve strength, and can actually repair damaged nerves."

Lin Wan blinked, not wanting to believe Lu Zheng’s words, but his skills were right there before her.

You know, even people with professional training, who practice day and night like Li Changyang, still get beaten by Lu Zheng.

And Lu Zheng, an average college graduate, got this good just by practicing on his own?

According to Lu Zheng’s earlier explanations, both Lin Wan and Li Jinglin had doubts, but lacking any other explanation, they had no choice but to believe him.

But now Lu Zheng added another layer, with Qi Sensitivity, acupuncture...

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"Because it sounds like a scam when you hear it, and mentioning it might cause misunderstandings. It’s better not to say anything and just claim to be a genius."

Lin Wan complained, "You do know this sounds like a scam, right? But if there’s really Qi Sensitivity, why not demonstrate it? Can others feel it?"

Lu Zheng shook his head, "Without experiencing it themselves, they definitely wouldn’t believe it. I’m not interested in performing for people like a show monkey. It’s better not to mention it at all from the start."

Lin Wan gave it some thought, and what Lu Zheng said made sense. Then she quickly became upset, "You even hid it from me?"

Lu Zheng smiled, leaned down slightly, and whispered, "I was planning to let you experience it on your birthday night."

Lin Wan’s face turned bright red.

"Pervert!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you’re a cop, you can’t curse without evidence."

Lin Wan raised her hand to hit him, but Lin’s Mother’s voice came from outside the door, "Time to eat!"

Since Lin Wan had just been discharged from the hospital and shouldn’t move too much, Lu Zheng put extra pillows under her and had lunch with her in her bedroom.

After Lin’s Mother left to wash dishes, Lu Zheng tried to persuade Lin Wan further.

"Anyway, you’re already like this. The so-called rehabilitation mainly trains the muscles of the lower limbs to prevent atrophy. The meridians and nervous system inside definitely can’t be restored.

As time goes by, returning to how you were before will be increasingly difficult. Better to use Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture for quick treatment while your nerve injuries are fresh and still active."

"Alright!"

Lu Zheng was about to say more, but Lin Wan had already agreed outright.

"Hey, you agreed?" Lu Zheng was still planning to have Lin Wan experience the wonders of True Qi.

Lin Wan nodded, her eyes full of trust, "I believe in you!"

Lu Zheng took a deep breath, nodded, and took Lin Wan’s hand, "Don’t worry, you’ll definitely get better."

After a pause, Lu Zheng continued, "I’ll start tomorrow, and we’ll do acupuncture once a day."

Lin Wan nodded, then suddenly looked disheartened, "Needs to be accompanied by herbal medicine?"

Lu Zheng laughed and shook his head, "Just eat well."

"That’s good then!"

"You’re a cop, are you afraid of bitterness?"

Lin Wan responded confidently, "I’m a girl, girls are afraid of bitterness!"

"Fine, then the task of convincing your mom is up to you. I’m off now."

Lin Wan laughed at his words, "Go on, go on, don’t worry."

Lu Zheng left after saying goodbye to Lin’s Mother.

Returning home, he took out a bunch of disposable acupuncture needles he’d already bought.

After all, it’s not ancient times; you can’t use fire-sterilized silver needles for acupuncture. Just the hygiene aspect alone would stop Lin’s Mother from letting me proceed.

Fortunately, modern stainless steel acupuncture needles are enough to transmit True Qi, carry out acupuncture, and channeling of Qi.

"When I do acupuncture tomorrow, I’ll also check Lin Wan’s condition. According to Qingyan’s assessment, it should take half a month to a month, but it’s been almost ten days since the accident occurred. It might take a bit longer."

Completing all preparations, he washed up and went to sleep.

...

The next day, at Lin Wan’s house.

After Lin’s Mother opened the door for Lu Zheng, she kept staring at him with a peculiar look.

Saying he’s unreliable? He easily handed over ten million, arranged everything after discharge, renting a house, all in order.

Saying he’s reliable? Self-taught in Chinese Medicine, self-administered acupuncture sounds insane.

If Lin Wan hadn’t worked on her almost all night yesterday, and if it weren’t for the confidence that ten million gave her, Lin’s Mother probably wouldn’t even have opened the door for Lu Zheng.

"Morning, Auntie!"

"Morning." Lin’s Mother nodded, letting Lu Zheng in with some hesitancy.

"Auntie, don’t worry. I’ve been giving myself acupuncture for years. Other than not having a Chinese Medicine qualification certificate, my medical skills are actually better than those PhD graduates."

Lin’s Mother reluctantly nodded, "Is that so? Well, Auntie will look forward to it."

Lu Zheng smiled, then changed his shoes, carrying his things into Lin Wan’s bedroom.

"You’re here!" Lin Wan beamed, eyes full of curiosity, "How do we start?"

Facing away from Lin’s Mother, Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows at Lin Wan, "Strip!"

"Strip what?"

"Your clothes, of course!" Lu Zheng grinned mischievously, "How do you do acupuncture with your clothes on?"

Lin Wan’s face turned red, "Where are you going to poke? All of them?"

Seeing Lin’s Mother was entering too, Lu Zheng quickly turned serious.

"I’ll step out first. You only need to take off the top half and lie on the bed; I’m mainly doing acupuncture on your back."

"Alright."

Lu Zheng exited, and when he re-entered, Lin Wan had already undressed her upper body, revealing a smooth back.

He moved to the side, noticing that the quilt was covering her.

"Can I watch?" Lin’s Mother asked from the side.

"Of course!" Lu Zheng nodded.

Lin Wan’s back, freshly wiped by Lin’s Mother, was ready. Lu Zheng took out acupuncture needles, unwrapped them, then sat by Lin Wan’s bed.

"Don’t be nervous; relax. You won’t even feel any pain."

"Really?" Lin Wan asked doubtfully.

"Of course, if you don’t believe me, ask Auntie."

"Why would I... have you already inserted it?"

Lu Zheng blinked, his hands moving swiftly, creating a dense pattern of acupuncture needles all over Lin Wan’s back.

"Mom, how is it?"

"Hmm, very skilled." Lin’s Mother, knowing nothing about acupuncture, could only offer this praise.

Lu Zheng grabbed one needle, gently rotating it.

"I can... feel it now!"

He grabbed another needle, lightly lifting and pressing it.

"Warm, it feels warm inside!"

Lu Zheng chuckled, lightly flicking a needle with his pinkie.

"Oh——"
