Chapter 1580: It Was a Lot of Fun
Combined with acupuncture, it should work.
When she got home, the living room was empty and quiet; not even the maids were here.
“Where’s everyone?” shouted Ning Shu.
It took a while for a maid to come over. Ning Shu asked her, “Where are the others?”
“We are all staying outside or in our rooms. Mr. Xi said we’re not to step foot in the living room or around here unless called,” said the maid.
Ning Shu: →_→
Most likely, they were afraid of getting caught like last time.
It was a lot of fun. The table, the sofa, the bathroom, the balcony, the carpet…
“Where’s Xi Mucheng?” asked Ning Shu.
“Mr. Xi is out,” said the maid.
“Where’s Sinan?”
“Still resting in her room.”
Ning Shu hooked the corners of her mouth. It was a good opportunity to proceed with her plan. She waved the maid away.
Ning Shu walked into the kitchen and saw chicken soup stewing in an earthenware pot.
She took out the weight-gaining pills and poured them in. Ning Shu stirred them in with a spoon before getting a bowl of it and taking it upstairs.
When she opened the room, Shi Sinan was sleeping soundly on the bed. Her face was no longer wrapped in gauze, and her nose, though still swollen and bruised, was much better than before.
Shi Sinan’s face was beautifully red. Her hair was spread out on the bed, and there were some marks on her neck, apparently left by Xi Mucheng.
Shi Sinan was like a flower after being watered. She had both a girl’s delicateness and a woman’s charm in her, like a seductress.
It was afternoon, yet she was still sleeping. Why was she not studying for college now, huh?
Ning Shu sat on the edge of the bed with the chicken soup and pushed Shi Sinan’s body. Shi Sinan didn’t open her eyes, but her mouth mumbled, “Uncle, let me sleep for just a little longer. I’m so tired.”
Ning Shu rolled her eyes and said loudly, “It’s me.”
Shi Sinan immediately opened her eyes. When she saw that it was Ning Shu, she hastily sat up, looking a little chagrined. She then shouted towards Ning Shu, “Mom.”
Ning Shu nodded and handed the chicken soup to Shi Sinan. “Drink it.”
Feeling guilty inside, Shi Sinan slowly drank the bowl of chicken soup.
Ning Shu kept her gaze on Shi Sinan, whose eyes were wandering here and there. She was slightly afraid to meet Ning Shu’s gaze.
“What are those marks on your neck?” Ning Shu stretched out her hand to pull Shi Sinan’s collar.
Shi Sinan immediately pulled at her clothes and said, “It’s nothing, just red bumps from mosquito bites. Nothing, nothing really.”
It was obviously done by someone’s mouth, but according to her, it had to be a mosquito bite.
Ning Shu nodded and said, “I’ll put some anti-itch ointment on you.”
While Shi Sinan was nervous and covered in sweat, Ning Shu took the ointment and approached her with a needle between her fingers. She stabbed it into the acupuncture point on her head.
Shi Sinan felt a puffy numbness on her head, like something was stabbing into her scalp. She couldn’t help but touch it with her hand; however, she couldn’t feel anything there.
After inserting the needle, Ning Shu tossed the ointment to Shi Sinan. “Apply it yourself. I’m going to the hospital to see your grandfather.”
Shi Sinan asked Ning Shu, “How’s Grandpa?”
Ning Shu: …
She never called to ask voluntarily and only asked after he was mentioned. Ning Shu wondered how the old man would feel now if he knew.
