Chapter 11: The Ambiguous Needle (Recommended Collection)

  After laughing and fooling around, Song Qian told the team's manager that a friend from her hometown was visiting and she wanted to take half a day off. The manager, who knew that all five girls had been working hard during this period, did not object and only reminded them not to have too much fun, as they still had a schedule for the next day. Then, Song Qian brought Han Ankang to the dormitory arranged by the company for their accommodation.

  Looking at the five girls squeezed into a room of less than 100 square meters, Han Ankang couldn't help but say: "Your company is too stingy! Five people live in such a small room?"

  Song Qian hasn't responded yet, but Zheng Xiujing, who thinks Han Ankang is very interesting, nodded and said: "OPPA is right, our company is really too stingy. They don't even give us a bigger room to switch to, it would be best if it was like my sister's. This way, the five of us can live together without feeling cramped."

  Han Ankang, who didn't understand what this had to do with her sister, shifted his gaze to Song Qian. Upon hearing that this girl under the age of 18 also had a sister who was a star in this entertainment company, Han Ankang thought to himself, "It seems these Korean girls really like being stars!"

  After sizing up the layout of the room, Han Ankang also took out the medicine he had bought from the pharmacy. Looking at these dry herbs and pieces of medicinal materials, the girls were also curious whether this kind of medicine could be drunk after being decocted?

  Knowing that he had to explain the completely unfamiliar knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine to these girls, it was estimated that even if they talked until dawn, it would be useless. He came to the kitchen and found a pot for decocting medicine. When he didn't find a special pot for decocting medicine, Han Ankang could only use the pot that the girls usually used to cook porridge to make the Chinese medicinal soup.

  Watching Han Ankang skillfully put the purchased Chinese medicine into the casserole, add clear water, and turn on the gas stove to let it simmer. Considering that this medicine still needs to be combined with acupuncture to take effect at once. Song Qian, who understands some traditional Chinese medical knowledge, also readily accepted the request for acupuncture.

  Seeing Song Qian trust herself so much, Han Ankang hesitated instead. It wasn't that he didn't have confidence in acupuncture. But to cure Song Qian's illness, which would hurt every month, there was a certain acupoint that had to be pierced. However, that acupoint was relatively private, and Han Ankang also encountered this situation for the first time, so he hesitated for a moment.

  Perhaps seeing Han Ankang's difficulty, Song Qian said somewhat puzzled: "Brother Han, what's wrong?"

  Han Ankang thought for a moment and said straightforwardly, "There's nothing wrong with it, just that the acupoint I need to use next might be relatively more sensitive. So I hope you can understand, in a doctor's eyes, there is no distinction between men and women. If you want to cure your chronic illness once and for all, the acupoint must be needled to clear the air."

  Han Ankang compared the sensitive location on his own body, which was just below the navel. Moreover, for the effect of acupuncture, this place cannot be blocked by clothing. Therefore, Han Ankang felt that in front of so many little girls, giving Song Qian an acupuncture at that place would definitely lead to misunderstandings if not explained clearly.

  Song Qian, who really didn't want to suffer that kind of torture again, saw Han Ankang's clear eyes and knew he wasn't intentionally trying to take advantage of her. She quickly became a bit flustered and asked: "Is it really necessary to get the shot for it to be effective?"

  Han Ankang nodded and said, "Yes, that acupoint has the effect of ventilating and expelling evil. The reason why you often feel pain is because in the past you didn't pay attention to it, and the accumulated cold air inside your body caused the evil energy to build up. If we don't solve this root problem, even if I treat it today, after a few months, this old illness will recur. Only by cutting off the source of the evil energy can we once and for all resolve this trouble."

  Han Ankang didn't mean to scare her, Song Qian thought for a moment and finally gritted her teeth: "Alright, then I'll trouble Big Brother Han!"

  Seeing Song Qian so calm, Han Ankang didn't say much and instructed a few girls who were watching the excitement to clean up the things on the long tea table. He also found a woolen blanket from the room and padded it well before instructing Song Qian, who looked a bit tense, to lie down flat.

  It was the first time I saw Zheng Xiujing and others treating illnesses, and I curiously watched Han Ankang's every move. When Han Ankang removed a silver needle package from his hand, I felt that apart from Han Ankang's innocent side, he also had a mysterious side.

  Especially when they saw Han Ankang pinning a few shiny silver needles on Song Qian's white and tender legs, these girls were afraid of startling Han Ankang who was pinning the needles, standing beside him without even daring to breathe.

  Wait until the needles on his legs and hands were all in place, Han Ankang expressionlessly said: "Pull down your pants!"

  As Song Qian's face turned bright red as she exposed her belly, the girls next to her were even more surprised, looking at Han Ankang and saying: "Okay, it's enough to lift it to this position, I need to take a needle. Before the needle is removed, it's best not to touch that acupoint, understand?"

  Song Qian was already too shy to speak, and didn't respond. Her face flushed bright red as she nodded slightly. Seeing that Song Qian understood, Han Ankang's hand moved swiftly, and a silver needle had already been inserted under her belly button. Yet, Song Qian surprisingly felt no pain at all.

  As the needle was inserted, Han Ankang continued: "Now I'll give you a massage to push out the evil energy inside your body. You might feel a warm sensation during the massage. That's just the effect of acupuncture. If you can bear it, try to hold on for a bit longer, it will be good for your body. If you really can't take it, just shout stop, got it?"

  Song Qian continued to nod in understanding, and Han Ankang only then grasped Song Qian's pale ankle, gently massaging it. As Han Ankang massaged, Song Qian gradually felt her body start to heat up, and the people standing beside her, including Zheng Xiujing, could clearly see that Song Qian's face had already begun to sweat slightly.

  As the sweat stains increased, they gradually condensed into beads of sweat. The speed at which she was sweating was even faster than when she went to the sauna room. Just now, these girls thought that Han Ankang had intentionally slighted Song Qian, but this string of actions instantly dispelled their thoughts completely.

  At first, Song Qian still looked a bit shy, but as a surge of heat rose from her feet and circulated around her navel, she felt an unprecedented shyness and panic that almost made her cry out for him to stop. Seeing the beads of sweat rolling down Song Qian's face, Han Ankang, who had seemed very calm just now, also started to breathe more rapidly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

  Just as Song Qian was about to hum out the tender shame in her mouth, Han Ankang suddenly stopped and said: "Alright, the evil energy that has been accumulating in your body is almost gone. After drinking the medicine later, your old illness will not recur. I'm taking out the needle now, don't move!"

  While speaking, he quickly retracted the silver needle, and the dazzling action that made the four girls' eyes dizzy once again shocked them for Han Ankang's medical skills. When Han Ankang told Song Qian that she could move around, Song Qian, who got up from the tea table, did the first thing to rush into the bathroom and flush out the shameful feeling in her body cleanly.

  As soon as Song Qian stood in front of the mirror, she was overjoyed to discover that this treatment not only gave her the opportunity to get rid of the disease, but also made the several acne on her face disappear. This magical acupuncture and massage technique made Song Qian feel that Han Ankang's medical skills were probably beyond her imagination.

  As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, the girls with acne on their faces quickly discovered that they had disappeared and immediately pulled her to ask about the feeling during treatment. When Song Qian was asked again, she was both shy and angry, so she could only tell them that if they wanted to know what it felt like, let Han Ankang treat them once.

  Among the five, Zheng Xiujing is the bravest. Every time she sees a needle and a push, she can remove the acne on her face. Recently, she has also been fighting a "tough battle" with acne and quickly asked Han Ankang for treatment to get rid of the acne on her face.

  For these beautiful girls' requests, Han Ankang, who had consumed a lot of his cultivated yang energy today, could only helplessly tell her. Today, it's estimated that there's no way to administer needle treatment, and if you want to solve these annoying pimples, you can only wait until next time. Only then did Song Qian realize that Han Ankang's treatment earlier was not as easy as it looked, and she thanked him again.

  When the Chinese medicine on the stove emitted a medicinal fragrance, Han Ankang asked the girls to remove a mask and use it as a filter cloth. They poured out about one small bowl of medicinal broth from the sand pot. Looking at the dark, steaming medicinal broth, Song Qian, who had also taken Chinese medicine when she was young, knew that this would definitely not taste good.

  Jung Soo-jung, who had originally wanted to taste the flavor, was also startled when she saw this black medicine soup. It wasn't until Han Ahn-kang told her that although the medicine soup didn't look appealing, it could effectively improve a girl's intestinal function and occasionally drinking it would even help with beauty and skincare.

  She, who loves beauty, couldn't resist the temptation either, and took a spoonful of the medicine. As soon as it touched her lips, the bitter taste made her jump three feet high. Only Song Qian, who knew that all Chinese medicinal soups were very bitter, waited until the soup had cooled down a bit before drinking the whole bowl in one gulp, under the admiring gaze of the girls.

  Other teammates may feel a little admiration, but Zheng Xiujing, who has tasted this flavor, is truly admiring the captain's endurance. This bitter medicine can be finished in one mouthful. It can be described as a heroine!

  Until Song Qian told her that Chinese medicine itself is a common saying of 'good medicine tastes bitter and benefits the illness', so this medicine is very bitter when brewed, she had already mentally prepared herself. With just a little bit to drink, it's still better to swallow it in one gulp, which slightly balanced Zheng Xiujing's mind, because Song Qian was also afraid of drinking bitter medicine, that's why she drank it so fast!
