I was stunned. When I thought about getting an acupuncture, my scalp went numb. I raised my head in a panic and looked for Senior Brother Xiaobai: "Senior Brother."
Senior Brother Xiaobai had a faint smile on his lips, sat on the edge of the bed, gently held my hand, and said softly: "Rong'er, don't be afraid."
I looked at him delicately and weakly: "Senior brother, stay with me."
Senior Brother Xiaobai's face turned red and he nodded.
The master laughed: "Twelve, you can't trust my master's medical skills anymore?"
I quickly suppressed my timidity and said with a smile: "Master, you are a master of rejuvenation. Hua Tuo is still alive. If it weren't for Master, my disciple would have turned into a bunch of withered bones in the cemetery on the barren mountain. How can I dare to question my master?"
"Hmm." The master nodded happily and turned around to get a cloth bag.
"Eleven, take off your junior sister's clothes." Master calmly ordered Senior Brother Xiaobai.
Immediately, Senior Brother Xiaobai and I looked at each other and hurriedly looked away.
"Master..." I was very shy.
If I am alone with Senior Brother Xiaobai, let alone taking off my clothes, that is... that is... well, I am also willing, but now, in front of Master, I want Senior Brother Xiaobai to take off my clothes. It's really... a bit embarrassing...
Master is a very considerate master. When he saw my shy look, he chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and turned away from the screen.
"Rong'er, your health is important." Senior Brother Xiaobai looked at me solemnly for a while and then explored my collar.
I shyly pressed Brother Xiaobai's hand, blushed, lowered my head, and whispered: "Brother, please turn around."
I, Ye Rong, have always been a dignified and courteous lady. Now, my master is still outside. How can I do something rude?
Master's blurry figure was reflected on the screen. Senior Brother Xiaobai took one look at it, then stood up and went outside to accompany Master.
I took off my middle coat, leaving only the magpie's bellyband.
Humph, although those ethics and teachings are important, how can they be more important than my Ye Rong’s life?
"Master, senior brother." I shouted softly.
The slender silver needles penetrated my skin one by one. I only felt a numbness under the needle tip, but I didn't feel any pain at all.
Alas, I am very moved, Master’s acupuncture technique is really brilliant, Master is really an unfathomable Master!
The numbness under the needle tip slowly spread to the surroundings and gradually enveloped the whole body. After a while, I actually had the warm feeling of soaking in a hot spring pool.
I closed my eyes comfortably.

Early the next morning, I was about to wake up, and Brother Ninth rushed to my room.
I curled my lips, this Ninth Senior Brother is so rude, I, Ye Rong, am a young lady, how could he run into my embroidery room so early in the morning?
I angrily pulled the brocade quilt, turned over, and said, "Senior brother slept in his own room last night. You need to go to Qingzeyuan with him."
The Ninth Senior Brother was silent for a long time, and then said solemnly: "Little Junior Sister, Xiaobai hasn't slept a wink these past few days, and he hasn't even taken a few bites of food. He is not in good health, so you should avoid doing that kind of thing with him recently."
Is it "that thing" again?
Since he spoke so openly, I didn't feel too coy about it: "Senior Brother Ninth, please don't misunderstand me. Senior Brother and I are completely innocent and have never violated our etiquette."
Having said that, I feel a little guilty. Although Senior Brother Xiaobai and I...well, we have lived like this and that, but after all, there is no...well, no...
When the Ninth Senior Brother heard this, his jaw almost dropped: "Little Junior Sister, are you saying that you two did not perform the courtesy of Zhou Gong?"
