Chapter 752: Chapter 753: Dizziness from Needles
"Cousin, they called for you, why havenât you gone?" Shui Qinghe whispered, lowering her voice.
"I... I obviously canât go." Shui Qingyue felt even more awkward.
"Why canât you go? Arenât you being isolated?" Shui Qinghe frowned.
Shui Qingyue hesitated for a moment, realizing that Shui Qinghe would be staying here for a while and needed to know everything, so she bit the bullet and said, "Brother Dongzi and they went to sleep, I havenât been with Brother Dongzi... so, obviously, I canât go."
"You mean, heâs taking on three?" Shui Qingheâs eyes widened.
"Cough cough... yes!" Shui Qingyue became even more embarrassed.
Shui Qingheâs face was filled with disbelief as she exclaimed, "No way! Really?"
Shui Qingyue replied, "Brother Dongzi is very strong, so... thereâs no problem."
"Oh my gosh!" Shui Qinghe rolled her eyes, "That works? Is this guy a monster or what?"
Shui Qingyue composed herself, then glared at Shui Qinghe and said, "Why are you so curious about such things? This is a private family matter; no one else knows about it, so donât go spreading it around."
Shui Qinghe quickly said, "Iâm not stupid, how could I casually speak about this? But this really scared me; Iâve never imagined the brother-in-law in this aspect... being so perverted, itâs unbelievably shocking."
Shui Qingyue spoke, "Forget about this. Go take a bath and rest early. If Brother Dongzi has time tomorrow, he could start treating you."
"Alright."
The next morning, Song Xiaodong and Su Yuya handled the backlog of work from the past two days.
Management in the Su Family had gradually become organized and there were fewer issues in the house. In fact, Song Xiaodong didnât want to get involved in some matters, giving the Su Family members enough autonomy.
This was something the Su Family members never had before; previously, any slightly major issue had to be reported to the grandpa.
Now, discovering their authority was greater than before, and they also could control more money and enjoyed greater freedom, which for anyone, was a tempting change. As a result, they didnât see Song Xiaodong, an outsider, managing the Su Family as something bad.
For Song Xiaodong himself, there wasnât a real sense of belonging to the Su Family. He was thrust into the position, having to take up the role of Family Head, so he dealt with the major issues while ignoring the minor ones.
In the afternoon, Song Xiaodong found himself with some free time and then summoned Shui Qinghe.
Shui Qinghe and Miao Xuanxuan had similar personalitiesâboth were playful and lively. Thus, in just a morning, she had already become familiar within the household and no longer felt like a stranger there.
In Shui Qingheâs room, Song Xiaodong said, "Lie down; Iâm going to start treating you."
Shui Qinghe lay on the bed, head near the end of the bed, and said, "Are we doing this here? Isnât that a bit too casual?"
Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "In your living space, wonât you feel more relaxed? Besides, for your treatment, thereâs no need to go to a hospital since Iâm just going to use acupuncture."
"Acupuncture?" Shui Qinghe looked up at Song Xiaodong, then saw the long silver needles in his hand, sprung up sitting and said with a pale face, "Youâre not going to... actually stick that long needle into my head, are you?"
"Donât worry, it wonât hurt." Song Xiaodong said softly.
"No no! Absolutely not!" Shui Qinghe shook her head vigorously, then suddenly jumped to the floor and rushed out.
"Ouch!" Two cries of pain came from outside the door.
Song Xiaodong hurried out and saw both Shui Qingyue and Shui Qinghe sitting on the ground, quickly asking, "Are you guys okay?"
Shui Qingyue rubbed her forehead and chest, frowning, "Just bumped into each other. Qinghe, what was she doing?"
"I wonât get the needles! I wonât! Iâd rather die than get the needles!" Shui Qinghe jumped up and then ran straight out.
Song Xiaodongâs mouth twitched as he said, "She doesnât faint at the sight of needles, does she?"
"Indeed a bit," Shui Qingyue stood up with Song Xiaodongâs help. "So she got scared like this seeing your needles? But it wasnât this severe before."
"This might also be related to the brain tumorâs pressure, causing her reactions to be somewhat exaggerated."
"What do we do now?" Shui Qingyue asked worriedly.
Song Xiaodong thought for a moment and said, "Then letâs knock her out. Such reactions might indicate that the tumor is growing quickly; if not controlled, it will become more problematic."
"Okay, okay!" Shui Qingyue became even more worried when she heard this.
The two walked downstairs where Miao Xuanxuan approached, asking, "Whatâs going on? Why did Qinghe run out like a frightened rabbit, Dongzi, you didnât do something to her, did you?"
Shui Qingyue gave a wry smile, "She ran off because of her fear of needles."
"Fear of needles..." Miao Xuanxuan paused, then grinned, "Dongzi, those needles of yours are indeed frightening, so long, if you were to stick that into my head, I too would be incredibly nervous."
Song Xiaodong said, "Letâs catch her first; if her illness drags on, it wonât be good."
A group of people went out searching. Although the Su Familyâs residence was large, there were many servants in the courtyard who, under their guidance, led Song Xiaodong quickly to Shui Qinghe.
Upon seeing Song Xiaodong, Shui Qinghe immediately tried to run, but Song Xiaodong dashed over in a few steps and grabbed her arm.
While struggling, Shui Qinghe said, "I wonât get the needles, even if it kills me, I wonât!"
"Alright, alright, I wonât give you the needles. Iâll choose another method, just donât run off."
"Really?" Shui Qinghe stopped struggling, but upon looking into Song Xiaodongâs eyes, she immediately exclaimed, "No no, I donât believe you! Youâre tricking me, you definitely want to bring me back to give me the needles, I wonât do it! Wuh wuh... I want to go home; I want my mom!"
Song Xiaodong was at a loss for words; at this moment, Shui Qinghe was just like a little girl who hadnât grown up.
Guessing that no matter how he explained, she wouldnât listen, Song Xiaodong stealthily stuck a needle into the back of Shui Qingheâs neck.
"Wuh..." Shui Qingheâs cries abruptly stopped, her body went limp, and she leaned on Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong stretched out his arms, scooping her up in a princess carry, facing such a needle-phobic person as an expert in acupuncture was indeed a challenge. Without dealing with her this way, it really would be impossible to proceed with the needles.
As the Su Familyâs servants saw Song Xiaodong carrying Shui Qinghe out, they all quickly lowered their heads, pretending not to see, knowing better than to casually comment on the Family Headâs matters.
