Chapter 1320: Acupuncture Technique That Could Bring Back The Dead

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Yulin and Huo Yao did not chat for long. Since he had just recovered, he naturally had to sleep.

After he had fallen asleep, Huo Yao exchanged a few words with Chen Ming before leaving the hospital ward.

When Huo Yao got back to the hospital room next door, she closed the door and leaned against it. Her legs felt a little limp.

The Shangguan clan did not have the expertise of refining medicine. Instead, they had very unusual physiques. Also, they had great medical and acupuncture techniques.

If they wanted to save a dying man, they could use their family acupuncture technique to transfer life force and Qi into the patient and make him come back from the dead.

Since this technique went against nature, one naturally had to pay a high price.

Since members of the Shangguan clan were physically special, Huo Yao simply slept for a few days in a row. She was no different from someone who had just recovered from a serious illness now.

Min Yu had been waiting in the hospital ward, and he strode over. Since she looked weak, he carried her back. “Are you okay?”

Huo Yao leaned her head against his chest and said softly, “I’m famished.”

Min Yu lowered his head to glance at her. He noticed that she had lost weight and felt sorry for her. He said, “Hang on. I’ll send someone for food.”

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao before burying her head in his chest.

Min Yu tightened his grip on her without taking her back to the bed. Instead, he walked over to the couch and took a seat. He straightened the jacket she was wearing. “Why don’t you get some more sleep? I’ll tell you when the food is here.”

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao shrank into his arms. The cool scent coming from him was inexplicably calming.

After she fell asleep, Min Yu retrieved his phone from his pocket and sent a text message to Zhuo Yun telling him to bring some food over.

Zhuo Yun arrived at the hospital ward with two lunch boxes 30 minutes later.

The moment he entered the room, he saw the two of them sitting on the couch curled up together.

Zhuo Yun was a single man, and could not help feeling jealous. He placed the food on the table and retreated from the room quietly.

After closing the door, he saw Chen Ming wanting to enter the room. Since they had spent a lot of time at the hospital, they were acquainted with each other. He hurriedly pulled him back before he could knock on the door.

Chen Ming looked at him quizzically.

Zhuo Yun hurriedly held him by the shoulder and walked toward the corridor. “Oh yes. Are you dating?”

Chen Ming was puzzled.

Did he want to die?

“I can tell that you aren’t seeing anyone. Hence, I suggest we don’t interrupt them. Otherwise, we might get hurt.” Zhuo Yun sighed and said, “Come on. Let me treat you to some food.”

Chen Ming wanted to slap Zhuo Yun. Since he was a civilized man, he decided against it and simply nodded. “Okay. I know a seafood restaurant nearby. Since you are so enthusiastic about treating me, I won’t be shy.”

Seafood?

Zhuo Yun promptly staggered and hurriedly let go of him.

Chen Ming turned to look at him. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I suddenly remembered that I have to do something.” Zhuo Yun used the oldest excuse in the book.

Chen Ming smiled uncharacteristically. “Even if you have to work, you still have to eat first.”

The smile on Zhuo Yun’s face had disappeared completely.

He would rather stay in the ward and play the third wheel than go anywhere with Chen Ming.

Meanwhile, inside the hospital ward.

Min Yu woke Huo Yao up so that she could eat.

Zhuo Yun had brought healthy porridge suited for her condition. Even the side dishes were on the bland side.

Huo Yao looked at the things on the table and sighed inwardly. She suddenly knew how her second older brother felt about hospital food when he had to stay hospitalized for half a month.
