Before he could get a clear look, Lu Miao reached out and took the phone directly from him. Glancing at the caller ID showing Gu Zhixing, she slid her finger to decline the call, then wiped her mouth with a tissue before getting up.

“I have something to do, need to go out.” “I’ll drive you,” Gu Shiyan put down his chopsticks.

“No need, I can drive myself,” Lu Miao replied directly.

After answering Gu Zhixing’s call upstairs and informing her that everything was ready and waiting for her to come over, Lu Miao packed a clean set of clothes and tools into her backpack and then said goodbye to Gu Shiyan before leaving.

Gu Shiyan watched her leaving figure thoughtfully. He wondered who would make her so cautious around him. She didn’t even answer the call in front of him and specially went upstairs to return it.

Lu Miao drove straight to the hotel, where both Gu Zhixing and Aluo were waiting in the suite. In the center of the suite, there was a large wooden tub with a heater.

The ingredients had been strictly proportioned according to her instructions, and now the water in the wooden tub was bubbling, releasing steam. Nervous and curious, Aluo asked, “What are we going to do? Drink all this?”

Lu Miao nodded seriously and said to Gu Zhixing, “Yes, drink it.”

Gu Zhixing helplessly ruffled Aluo’s hair. “You silly boy.”

The large wooden tub was obviously meant for him to immerse himself in.

Thinking about the night sand and golden nectar he had drunk before, although soaking in the tub was disgusting, it was better than drinking everything directly.

“I’m not silly!” Aluo pushed his hand away indignantly.

Gu Zhixing turned to Lu Miao. “Should I get in now?”

Lu Miao reached for a glass on the table, turned to the side to pour water into it, and then took out a talisman, chanting some words.

The talisman in her palm suddenly ignited on its own. Lu Miao tossed the burning talisman into the water in the glass.

Aluo was startled and quickly reached out to grab her hand. “Where did the fire come from? Did it burn you?”

Even more surprising to him was that although Lu Miao had thrown the talisman into the water, the fire did not extinguish.

Through the transparent glass, he could clearly see the burning talisman inside.

“It’s okay,” Lu Miao reassured him and handed the glass to Gu Zhixing. “Drink this first. ”

Nervously, Aluo asked, “Are you sure it’s safe to drink?”

Gu Zhixing reached out and took the glass, hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and drank the liquid inside directly.

Although the talisman in the water was burning, the liquid turned out to be unexpectedly ice-cold, as if it were a glass of cold water.

“Are you… are you okay?” Aluo reached out to check his mouth.

Gu Zhixing sighed helplessly, opened his mouth for him to check, and said, “I’m fine.”

He squeezed Aluo’s hand tightly, went to change into a yukata, and then got into the wooden tub.

Lu Miao took acupuncture tools out of her backpack and gently inserted them into the area just above his head.

Aluo dared not even breathe while watching. Lu Miao’s fingers moved at varying speeds and directions, completely different from the acupuncture he had seen online.

As soon as the needles were fully inserted, Gu Zhixing’s body in the wooden tub suddenly tightened, and the muscles on his arms bulged from exertion.

His eyes tightly closed, as if he was enduring something.

Aluo was shocked and watched him anxiously, wanting to ask questions but afraid of disturbing Lu Miao. He could only clench his teeth and stare at the person in the wooden tub without blinking.

As the second needle pierced the back of Gu Zhixing’s head, sweat was already dripping down his forehead.

At this moment, he felt as if the cup of water he had just drunk had turned into a blazing flame, scorching every cell in his body to ashes. At the same time, there seemed to be another extremely cold chill surging into his body through his skin.

The clash of these two sensations turned him into a battleground. He felt alternately hot and cold.

Calmly, Lu Miao picked up a silver needle and steadily inserted it one by one.

By the time the last needle was in, it had been two hours.

Not to mention Gu Zhixing, even Lu Miao herself was drenched in sweat. Aluo hurriedly handed her a towel that had been prepared long ago to wipe her sweat.

Looking worriedly at Gu Zhixing in the wooden tub, he asked, “How long does this acupuncture last?”

“Half an hour,” Lu Miao instructed. “You keep an eye on him, I’ll go downstairs to take a shower, and call me if there’s any problem.”

“Okay,” Aluo nodded heavily.

He immediately rushed to get a chair and sat beside the wooden tub, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Lu Miao shook her head and smiled, then went downstairs to wash and change clothes.

When she returned to the room, Aluo hadn’t changed his position by the wooden tub.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her enter.

After removing the needles from Gu Zhixing’s body, a few minutes later, Gu Zhixing slowly opened his tightly shut eyes.

“How are you feeling? Do you feel anything wrong?” Aluo asked anxiously.

The expression on his face just now looked extremely painful.

“I’m fine, I feel very relaxed all over my body,” Gu Zhixing replied. As if he had taken off a heavy burden, he felt light and carefree all over.

He turned to Lu Miao and thanked her sincerely.

Lu Miao waved her hand and raised an eyebrow. “You pay, I do the job. We’ll see the results in a week. Don’t blame me for cheating you later.”

Aluo felt somewhat embarrassed. “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I was too impatient the first time we met and snatched your Starfall Grass.”

“It’s okay. You snatched my things, I cheated you. We’re even now,” Lu Miao shrugged.

After packing her things, she looked at Gu Zhixing and added, “Also, your two brothers are staying at my place. When you contact them next time, send a message beforehand.”

“Okay,” Gu Zhixing looked at Lu Miao with interest.

He had heard about her moving out of the Gu family. Gu Jinxi was a brat, but he couldn’t believe that even Gu Shiyan had moved out with her. It didn’t seem like something Gu Shiyan would do. And she had only been in the Gu family for just three months.

It seemed that his younger brother had truly fallen for her this time.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, “Did you also cure Shiyan’s illness?”

Lu Miao nodded and straightforwardly admitted, “Yes.”

“Oh,” Gu Zhixing suddenly realized. So it was a life-saving favor, and he repaid her with his own body!

Without lingering, Lu Miao left after giving some instructions to Gu Zhixing. After bidding farewell to the two, she departed.

Aluo warmly escorted her downstairs, thanking her repeatedly before finally going upstairs.

When Lu Miao returned home, Gu Shiyan happened to come out of the study and go downstairs.

With one glance, he noticed that she had changed her clothes and narrowed his eyes slightly..
