"You can certainly stop taking them. You do not need acupuncture anymore, either." Guan Xuemin continued, "The acupuncture before was only to keep you alert, stimulate your nerves, and ease the damage the painkillers were doing to them. But now it is no longer necessary. You are positively brimming with vitality, so you do not need me anymore..."
"Grandpa Guan... That is not what I meant..." Yang Huaijun grew anxious at once. "The prescription my friend gave me... I..."
Yang Huaijun genuinely did not know how to explain himself. He was afraid Guan Xuemin might take it the wrong way. After all, he had always come to Guan Xuemin for treatment, yet had suddenly begun taking someone else's prescription without mentioning it beforehand. That did make it seem as though he did not trust the old man. But when it came to the person who had given him the prescription, Yang Huaijun truly could not refuse.
Compared with Guan Xuemin, Yang Huaijun was naturally much closer to Wei Zhao.
"Heh heh, look at you, Young Yang. Why are you so nervous? If you have found a miracle doctor more skilled than I am to treat you, I could not be happier. And I am not giving you acupuncture simply because it is no longer necessary." Guan Xuemin had seen through Yang Huaijun's thoughts and explained with a smile, "Besides, I already told you that I would be delighted merely to meet a person of such ability. In front of him, I could at most call myself an apprentice. Why would I be upset over something like this?"
"I see. I was worrying too much..." Yang Huaijun let out a sigh of relief. "Grandpa Guan, I will certainly pass your request along. But whether he agrees to meet you is not something I can decide..."
"Of course." Guan Xuemin nodded. "Young Yang, even if you no longer need acupuncture, come and visit this old man from time to time. We have spent so long together that if you suddenly stopped coming, I would find myself missing you."
"Do not worry, Grandpa Guan. I will come whenever I have the time." Yang Huaijun readily agreed.
After leaving Guan Xuemin's villa, Yang Huaijun decided to pay Wei Zhao a visit and tell him about Guan Xuemin, as well as the prescription. After all, he had taken the liberty of showing it to Guan Xuemin.
Early that morning, Wei Zhao turned the leftovers he had packed up from yesterday's dinner at the Gu family home into a mixed fried rice. He ate one bite himself, then left the rest for Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
He returned to his room, brought along the herbal medicine he had prepared for Yang Huaijun, and planned to find a spare moment during the day to deliver it to him.
As the saying went, taking another man's things left one tongue-tied, and eating another man's food left one too embarrassed to complain. Having eaten the fried rice Wei Zhao had made, Gu Mengyao was uncharacteristically free of hostility toward him that day. Instead, her little face was flushed, which surprised Wei Zhao and made him wonder: Could this girl have changed her tactics? Since she could not drive him away, was she planning to torment him by some other method?
After all, there had been a small misunderstanding between him and Gu Mengyao. She had drunk from a bottle of soda that had been touched by his saliva. That meant nothing to him, but for a conservative girl who had never even had a boyfriend, it was rather more serious.
So Wei Zhao could understand why Gu Mengyao always glared at him. It was no great matter. As for Shen Yushu, she viewed the whole affair purely as an outsider, so her relationship with him was naturally different.
"Wei Zhao? You are not eating?" Gu Mengyao asked when she saw him emerge from his room.
"I have already eaten. You two go ahead." Wei Zhao had changed back into his school uniform.
