In just a few moments, most of the guests at the banquet hall had dispersed, having been safely evacuated by Jiang Pengfei.
Seeing Jiang Nansun in distress, Wang Yongzheng hurried over to check on her. "Nansun, what's wrong?"
Held in Dai Yin's arms, Jiang Nansun kept scratching her arms and neck.
Her once fair skin was now flushed red from the scratching.
"I... I don't know why..."
"It's so itchy, it's driving me crazy!"
As the itching intensified, Jiang Nansun clawed at her skin, making it redder and redder.
Dai Yin quickly grabbed her hands. "Stop scratching! You'll break your skin!"
"Jiang Pengfei, what are you waiting for?!"
"Drive your daughter to the hospital now!"
Jiang Pengfei, snapping out of his daze, was about to take Jiang Nansun to the hospital when Song Chuan intervened.
"It's just a skin allergy."
"A single herbal remedy will fix it. A bath in boiled purslane water should stop the itching."
"Of course, medicine alone takes a while to work. The most important thing is to combine it with my acupuncture."
As Song Chuan spoke confidently, Jiang Pengfei was stunned. "Young Senior, you know medicine too?"
"Uncle Jiang, I forgot to mention."
"I bought a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic yesterday. Here's my card. If you or Auntie ever feel unwell, you can come see me there."
He could also trade stocks... and now he knew medicine too.
Jiang Pengfei stared at the business card, his eyes burning with envy. How could Zhu Suosuo have snatched up such a perfect son-in-law before him?
He felt so sorry for his daughter.
"In that case, let's do as Young Song says immediately."
"I'll go get someone to boil the purslane water."
"Wife, take Nansun and Song Chuan upstairs."
The group arrived at Jiang Nansun's room.
In the meantime, Jiang Pengfei had already arranged for the purslane water to be boiled and poured into the tub. He also found silver needles to facilitate Song Chuan's acupuncture.
As Song Chuan prepared to enter, he stopped Dai Yin and Wang Yongzheng.
"Only Suo Suo can come in to assist."
"You all need to stay outside."
"Too many people would just get in the way."
Wang Yongzheng clenched his fists, his face reddening with anger. He just wanted to ask one thing: "But... if Nansun needs to take a bath..."
"Doesn't she have to get undressed?"
"Then you'll see her naked!"
"Is that really a big deal when we're saving someone's life?"
Jiang Pengfei nodded in agreement. "Exactly."
"Wang Yongzheng, listen to this nonsense you're spouting."
"Song Chuan's a doctor. To him, there's no male or female. Get out of the way—you're not helping at all."
"Young master, I'm leaving Nansun in your care."
"Understood."
As soon as Song Chuan pushed the door open and stepped inside, Zhu Suosuo slipped in behind him with a cold snort.
"Song Chuan, how many more things are you hiding from me?"
"What am I hiding?"
"You tell me! Clinics, stock trading... how did I not know you had so many skills?"
This was just the tip of the iceberg. If Zhu Suosuo ever found out he was the secret owner of Puling Capital, it would be another shock entirely.
Whether Zhu Suosuo's little heart could handle this was still uncertain.
Song Chuan rubbed his nose nonchalantly. "You didn't ask me either."
His words left Zhu Suosuo completely speechless.
*It's true,* she thought.
This left her unable to even get angry.
"Why did you call me in to help you with Nansun's acupuncture? I don't know how to do it."
"When I give her acupuncture, I need someone to help hold her steady. Otherwise, the needle won't go in."
*Am I overthinking this?*
Zhu Suosuo's face flushed slightly.
*Why does this sound so... strange?*
"Are you done talking?"
"Hurry up and help me relieve the itching! I can't stand it anymore!"
Jiang Nansun's room contained a large bathroom.
As Song Chuan approached, he finally saw Jiang Nansun soaking in the bathtub.
The tub was filled with a yellow medicinal liquid—the color of boiled Chinese herbs.
Jiang Nansun lay back with her head tilted back, her brow furrowed in impatience.
She was so annoyed.
The itching on her body was driving her mad, and scratching only made it worse.
Perhaps due to the medicinal bath, the red rash on Jiang Nansun's body had subsided somewhat.
"Nansun, still itching?"
"Yes."
Glancing back at Song Chuan, Zhu Suosuo urged, "How do you want me to help hold her steady?"
"Stand behind her."
"When I'm holding the needle, you'll push on Nansun to help me insert it."
"You have to hit the right acupoint, don't miss. If you miss, your best friend will be in a lot of pain."
"Mm-hmm."
Following Song Chuan's instructions, Zhu Suosuo moved behind Jiang Nansun, placing her delicate hands on the latter's shoulders.
Meanwhile, Song Chuan opened his acupuncture kit and sterilized a silver needle.
*Damn it.*
He had never given anyone acupuncture before. This was his first time, and he wasn't sure if his hand would be steady.
Recalling the acupoints from memory, Song Chuan attempted his first needle insertion on Jiang Nansun.
The needle went in.
It landed on the Quchi Acupoint.
The Quchi Acupoint is one of the body's acupoints, located at the outer end of the elbow crease. When the elbow is bent, it lies at the midpoint of the line connecting the Chize Acupoint and the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
Stimulating this acupoint has the effects of clearing heat, resolving the exterior, clearing meridians, and relieving itching. Proper acupuncture at this point can effectively alleviate symptoms of skin allergies, such as localized redness, rashes, and severe itching.
Of course, one acupoint wouldn't be enough.
He needed to stimulate another one: the Yingxiang Acupoint.
The Yingxiang Acupoint belongs to the Large Intestine Meridian of the Hand's Yangming channel. It is located beside the midpoint of the outer edge of the nostril wing, in the nasolabial fold.
Once stimulated, it disperses wind-heat and opens the nasal passages.
"Push her body forward a bit," Song Chuan instructed.
Zhu Suosuo nudged Jiang Nansun closer to Song Chuan. As the needle went in, the red rashes on Jiang Nansun's body visibly faded, disappearing completely.
Even Jiang Nansun was astonished. "Song Chuan, you're amazing!"
"As long as it doesn't itch anymore, that's good enough."
Wiping his hands with a towel, Song Chuan was about to leave when Jiang Nansun suddenly cried out again.
"It itches! It's itching again!"
"Where does it itch?"
Returning to Jiang Nansun's side, Song Chuan frowned slightly.
This shouldn't happen!
The supreme medical skills the System had rewarded him with shouldn't have gone wrong.
Could it be that even the System makes mistakes?
"It just itches, everywhere."
You missed a crucial acupoint during Jiang Nansun's treatment. Please complete the treatment.
Otherwise, the error rate will increase.
Song Chuan glanced at the status bar above Jiang Nansun's head. The error rate had dropped from 78% to 70%...
He had to stop the error rate from falling immediately.
After a moment of thought, Song Chuan's expression suddenly lit up with understanding.
He now knew exactly which acupoint he had missed.
Before Zhu Suosuo could react, Song Chuan had stripped off his clothes and entered the bathtub.
Zhu Suosuo snapped angrily, "Song Chuan, what are you doing?!"
"Suo Suo, I missed a vital acupoint on Nansun. This one is especially important, and I need to be closer to needle it properly. If I try through the bathtub, I might miss the mark."
"Quick, Suo Suo, help Nansun stay steady. I need to prepare the needle."
Listening to Song Chuan's explanation, Zhu Suosuo's anger began to subside.
Still, seeing her best friend so close to her boyfriend left her feeling a pang of jealousy.
As her small hands continued to rest on Jiang Nansun's back, the slippery medicinal water on Nansun's skin made her palm slide.
Her hand slipped.
The needle went in crooked.
Jiang Nansun cried out in pain, "Mmm... that hurts..."
"This purslane water is naturally slippery. The longer it soaks, the slipperier it gets."
"Suo Suo, why don't you get in the tub too? Come help me hold her steady."
Zhu Suosuo kicked off her heels and stepped into the tub wearing her evening gown.
Fortunately, the tub was large enough to accommodate three people.
Leaning back against Zhu Suosuo, Jiang Nansun spread her legs, allowing Song Chuan to proceed with the acupuncture.
Outside the room, the group waited anxiously.
Wang Yongzheng paced nervously.
"I can't wait any longer. I'm going in to check on them."
