What’s The Matter?

After the initial fuss, Su Yayan had smoothly inserted the needle into its designated space. All the other needles after that were just as chaotic as well.

In the beginning, Ning Qirui was still fussing around and refused to be cooperative, until he realized that no one was on his side and no matter how much he fussed around he could not escape from Su Yayan. Then, he abandoned himself to despair and closed his eyes to 'see no evil'.

On the other hand, Su Yayan was getting better at her acupuncture skills after a few needle-related 'trials, errors, and accidents'. Up till the end of the treatment, Ning Qirui could no longer feel any pain, and the mistake at the beginning was no longer happening.

The subtle fragrance of wormwood that filled the ward was so calming and soothing it begun to cause drowsiness.

When Su Yayan removed the acupuncture needles from Ning Qirui's back, he was sound asleep.
