Huo Yao pulled her hand back after some time. She continued frowning. “Did you take any meds recently?”
“Nope.” Min Yu noticed something amiss with her expression. “What’s wrong?”
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and said nothing.
In theory, it was impossible for Min Yu’s condition to relapse. When she gave him acupuncture, she had already sealed off his meridians.
Unless she had personally unsealed his meridians using acupuncture, it was impossible for this to happen.
Now, he was suffering from a relapse even though he did not take any medication. This was simply puzzling.
Huo Yao raised her head and looked at Min Yu sideways. “Do you have a lot of enemies?”
“Huh?” Min Yu did not understand why she suddenly brought this up.
Huo Yao tutted without going into detail. She reached her hand out and patted Min Yu’s shoulder. “Remember to pay for the consultation fees.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she stood up from the couch and walked out without waiting for Min Yu to speak.
He was completely puzzled.
Before long, Huo Yao came back with her acupuncture needles. “Let’s go to your room for treatment.”
Min Yu glanced at Huo Yao. Even though she sounded nonchalant, he could tell she meant it. He nodded. “Sure.”
They went upstairs for treatment.
Huo Yao made Min Yu take off his clothes and lie down on the bed and started applying acupuncture to him.
Min Yu was suffering from a relapse. Since it was discovered early, it had yet to spread throughout his system. If he was left without any treatment for a couple of days, it would have been very hard to treat.
Huo Yao finally removed the last acupuncture needle 30 minutes later. “How do you feel now?”
“I’m much better.” Min Yu sat up slowly. He took his clothes from the side and put them on as he asked. “What’s wrong with me?”
He could sense he was not feeling well recently. Since he kept busy during the period and did not get enough rest, he did not take it to heart and simply called Huo Yao and asked for more incense.
“These are signs of relapse.” Huo Yao disinfected the needles and turned to look at Min Yu.
She said candidly, “I think someone used medicine that clashes with your condition to do this to you.”
His condition could not be treated at its roots. Even though she had used the Shangguan clan’s acupuncture technique to control it, it could not suppress it forever.
If someone knew about Min Yu’s condition and used the right medicine against him, it was possible for the condition to relapse.
Thanks to her acupuncture treatment, things did not get fatal even when this incident occurred.
“Did someone really do that?” Min Yu frowned.
Huo Yao nodded. “Uh huh. Did you eat anything unusual recently? Does anyone have anything against your family?”
Min Yu pondered briefly and said, “I didn’t eat anything unusual recently.”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “If someone’s secretly doing this to you, it’s hard for you to know.”
“Isn’t that what you’re there for?” said Min Yu gently. He looked at Huo Yao after doing his last button.
Huo Yao did not bother replying. She simply picked up her acupuncture needle box and walked out.
Min Yu followed behind Huo Yao unhurriedly and left the room as well.
After going downstairs, Huo Yao glanced at the incense on the coffee table and said, “You should stop using the incense. It doesn’t work for your condition.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Min Yu as he nodded.
Huo Yao felt relieved that he was open to the suggestion. She pondered briefly and said, “Since someone wants you to have a relapse, why don’t you just beat him at his own game?”
Min Yu looked at his girlfriend profoundly. He had just been thinking the same thing.
