I can support you.

Qin Jiajun nodded immediately and ordered the servants to clear out the irrelevant people in the inner hall, leaving only the old servant and two personal nurses to assist.

Xue Pianpian placed the medicine box on the mahogany low table, picked up a three-inch silver needle with her fingertips, and gently shone it under the light. The silver needle emitted a cold yet warm luster.

She asked the nurse to carefully lift the old man's arm, her eyes fell on the Quchi point on the inside of the elbow, and she slightly lowered her wrist. The silver needle then penetrated the point like a dragon, with the depth accurate to the millimeter.

Then, she took out the needle and inserted acupuncture into the old man's Taichong, Ganshu, Zusanli and other acupuncture points in turn. Her movements were smooth and the angle and strength of each needle insertion were so precise as if they were measured with a ruler.

Old Master Qin's originally heavy breathing gradually became smoother as the silver needle entered the acupuncture point, and a faint trace of blood color appeared on his sallow face.

The old servant standing by stared with wide eyes and exclaimed in a low voice:

"Old man... doesn't seem to be feeling so bad anymore."

Qin Jiajun's tense shoulders slowly relaxed, and the last trace of doubt that remained in his heart completely disappeared.

He looked at Xue Pianpian's focused profile. The loose hair on her forehead swayed gently with her movements. Her expression was so serious that it seemed as if the whole world was left with only the silver needle in her hand and the old man on the recliner.

A quarter of an hour later, Xue Pianpian pulled out the last silver needle and gently pressed the needle hole with a clean cotton towel. Then she took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured out three dark brown pills, and handed them to the old servant:

"Take it with warm water, three times a day, one pill each time. This is a prescription for soothing the liver and detoxifying. First, help the old man stabilize the evil toxins in his body."

The old servant quickly took it and carefully prepared warm water.

Xue Pianpian turned to Qin Jiajun and said:

"I will bring the prepared medicine tomorrow. I also need a quiet room for moxibustion treatment. The room must be kept at a constant temperature and there must be no drafts.

In addition, the old man's diet should be light, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, and especially no alcohol, not even cooking wine."

"I see,"

Qin Jiajun immediately agreed and took out his mobile phone to record.

"I'll have someone prepare the room right now, and I'll have the kitchen strictly follow your instructions regarding food."

At this moment, the door of the inner hall was gently pushed open, and the elders of the Qin family who had just left quietly poked their heads in again.

Seeing Old Man Qin breathing steadily on the recliner, and then looking at Xue Pianpian calmly packing the medicine box, the elders who had frowned and questioned before now had a little more admiration in their eyes.

One of the old ladies with half-white hair came forward and bowed slightly to Xue Pianpian:

"Mr. Xue, I was short-sighted just now and may have offended you. Please don't take it to heart."

Xue Pianpian raised her eyes and smiled, her expression gentle yet dignified:

"The old man's words are too serious. Anyone would have concerns. I just hope that I can cure the old man as soon as possible and live up to everyone's trust."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Qin, who was lying on the recliner, suddenly opened his eyes slowly, and his voice was weak but clear:

"Xue... Doctor Xue... Thank you so much..."

Qin Jiajun was surprised and delighted, and quickly walked to the recliner:

"Grandpa, how do you feel?"

Old Master Qin looked at Xue Pianpian, his eyes full of gratitude:

"My chest...is no longer stuffy, and the pain in my ribs is gone..."

These words made everyone present feel completely relieved.

Qin Jiaming, who was muttering to himself before, now turned pale and blue in the face. He quietly stepped back and dared not speak again.

Xue Pianpian packed up the medicine box and said to Qin Jiajun:

"I'll be here today and I'll be here on time tomorrow.

If the old man feels unwell at night, please call me at any time."

Qin Jiajun said in a gentle tone:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director Xue. I'll take you out."

The group walked out of the inner hall. The koi in the courtyard were still swimming in the pond. The setting sun shone through the gray eaves, giving the entire Qin residence a warm golden glow.

Qin Jiajun whispered:

"Mr. Xue, how much is the consultation fee? I'll transfer it to you."

Snow waved her hands.

"There's no rush. Let's wait until the old man's condition really gets better."

"Okay, Xue Dong,"

Qin Jiajun raised his wrist to check the time.

"It's getting late. Why don't you stay for dinner? I wonder what kind of cuisine you like? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it."

Xue Pianpian declined again.

"No need to eat, Mr. Qin. My sister and I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll come back tomorrow."

Qin Jiajun didn't force it.

"Okay, Director Xue, you haven't bought a car here yet, right? I'll let Li Mo accompany you to make it easier for you to travel."

This time Xue Pianpian did not refuse. A gentle smile spread across her clear eyes. She nodded gently, her voice clear and sincere:

"Thank you, Mr. Qin. Now I'll trouble handsome Li Mo."

When I came out of Qin's house, dusk had already spread over the gray-green eaves. The street lights lit up one after another, turning the streets of Kyoto into a warm yellow.

As soon as Li Mo parked the car in front of the main entrance of the mall, Ning Youran grabbed Xue Pianpian's wrist and jumped for joy:

"Xue, this 'Kyoto MixC' is the popular shopping mall we saw online before. Not only does it have the high-end designer brands you've always wanted to visit, but it also has a few niche fragrance shops that I have my own personal collection of!"

Xue Pianpian looked at the expectation in her idol sister's eyes, and her mood suddenly became happy. The corners of her lips curved into a beautiful arc:

"Then listen to my sister and start shopping mode. Let's go, beauties."

Chen Yu and Li Mo followed the two sisters into the mall, and a faint fragrance hit them in the face.

The luxury goods area on the first floor is brightly lit, and the new season clothing displayed in the windows is dazzling.

Ning Youran first took Xue Pianpian into a high-end women's clothing store known for its simple design, and the clerk immediately came forward to greet them warmly.

Xue Pianpian casually picked up a milky white cashmere coat. It had a delicate and soft texture, and when she put it on, it just made her slender figure look cool and gentle.

"This suits you so well!"

Ning Youran's eyes lit up, and she handed over a champagne-colored silk dress.

"Look at the embroidery on the collar. It goes perfectly with the coat."

After trying it on, Xue Pianpian looked at herself in the mirror. The skirt had a great drape and shimmered as she walked. She really liked it, so she asked the clerk to pack it up.

Chen Yu and Li Mo followed behind the two of them, their hands soon filled with shopping bags.

When passing by a handmade leather goods store, Ning Youran stopped and chose a light brown briefcase for Xue Pianpian:

"This leather is light and has many layers, making it suitable for storing silver needles and medical records."

Xue Pianpian took the bag, and her fingertips touched the delicate leather. A warm feeling rose in her heart, and she smiled faintly, accepting the thoughtfulness of her idol sister.

When she walked to the designer store on the third floor, Xue Pianpian finally found a brand she had seen in a fashion magazine before.

The clothes in the store are mostly made of natural cotton and linen and embroidered. She immediately fell in love with a dark green modified cheongsam with dark orchid embroidery on the neckline and cuffs, which was elegant and charming.

When trying it on, even the clerk couldn't help but praise it:

"You look like you stepped out of a painting in this dress. Your temperament is absolutely amazing."

Ning Youran took the opportunity to help her pick out several clothes of different styles - a light gray knitted suit suitable for daily wear, a burgundy velvet dress for attending occasions, and loose cotton and linen trousers suitable for wearing when practicing medicine.

With her idol sister by her side, Xue Pianpian felt that she didn't have to worry about anything at all. Ning Youran had arranged everything very appropriately, which made the shopping trip, which was already full of a sense of accomplishment, even more enjoyable.

When the four of them came out of the mall, the trunk was already stuffed full, with no space left at all.

Ning Youran rubbed Xue Pianpian's head and said excitedly:

"I finally finished filling up your closet. Come on, I'll take you to the accessories store to pair jewelry with these clothes!"

Xue Pianpian was dragged by Ning Youran to the accessories area. Her steps were a bit brisk, and she joked with a smile:

"Sister, if you keep buying, my closet might not be able to hold any more."

Ning Youran waved her hand nonchalantly:

"If you can't fit more, just reorganize. Good clothes need good accessories to match them, otherwise it would be a shame."

The two walked into a store that mainly sold pearl jewelry. Under the warm yellow light, the pearl necklaces and earrings in the display cabinets shone with a warm luster.

Ning Youran picked up a perfectly round freshwater pearl necklace and placed it against Xue Pianpian's neck for comparison:

"You have fair skin, and pearls will really enhance your appearance. These beads are evenly sized, perfect for everyday wear."

Xue Pianpian looked at herself in the mirror. The white pearls made her neck look even more slender, which was indeed beautiful, so she nodded.
