Rebooting 60, let's go on a rampage with the orange cat!

Huai'an stepped forward and flipped her wrist over to take her pulse. Jiang Na tried to pull her hand away, but after struggling for a moment, she seemed to have no strength left and let Huai'an take her pulse.

Chen Xin panicked when she saw this and tried to push Huai'an away, saying, "What are you doing? Why are you pretending to know what you don't? You're even taking pulses now."

Huai'an raised a hand to signal her not to move. Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then tried to push her away, but Huai'an suddenly said, "Tell the truth, are you menstruating? Do you usually have abdominal pain every time you have your period?"

Chen Xin was stunned. This kind of thing was very private, but she knew about Jiang Na's situation. She asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Jiang Na also suddenly raised her head, a look of shock on her pale face. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded without answering. Both of them looked at Huai An.

Huai'an calmly said, "If you trust me, I can help relieve your pain. If you don't trust me, Dr. Liu isn't here right now, so there are no painkillers for you. Besides, painkillers only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, so they're not the best solution."

Chen Xin curled her lips in disdain and chuckled, "Tch~ You're making it sound so real. When did you start studying medicine?"

Jiang Na felt another sharp, stabbing pain in her abdomen. She gritted her teeth and asked, "No need for nonsense, I'll only believe you if you can help me stop the pain quickly."

Chen Xin advised, "Don't listen to her, she's so young, what does she know?"

Huai'an took out a packet of silver needles from his pocket, took out one and disinfected it with alcohol, then walked over and took Jiang Na's hand again.

Jiang Na jerked her hand away, her face showing fear as she said in a panic, "What are you going to do? Don't do anything rash."

Chen Xin was a little angry and tried to push Huai An, but Huai An was quick and nimble. He lifted Jiang Na's hand and inserted a needle into the Hegu acupoint on the web of her hand. Chen Xin screamed and covered her eyes in panic.

Jiang Na gasped sharply, involuntarily making a "hissing" sound, and her hand recoiled as if electrocuted. However, the slender silver needle was already firmly embedded in the acupoint.

In an instant, a sharp, stabbing pain shot through her, causing Jiang Na to scream involuntarily, "It hurts so much!...I..." Tears welled up in her eyes, and she bit her lip tightly, looking utterly pitiful.

Seeing this, Huai'an quickly asked with concern, "Do you feel a bit bloated and painful? Is it any better now?" Jiang Na frowned, hesitated for a moment, then slowly pressed her abdomen a few times with her fingers. Suddenly, she exclaimed in surprise, "It seems... it seems my stomach really doesn't hurt as much as before... You... you can actually treat illnesses?"

At this moment, Chen Xin, who had been covering her face with her hands and not daring to look, finally let go and said in astonishment, "This can't be real, can it? It really doesn't hurt anymore?" Her tone was full of disbelief.

Huai'an smiled and nodded, explaining, "This only temporarily relieves your pain; it doesn't solve the underlying problem. However, if you're willing to trust me, I can continue to help alleviate your pain."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Na hesitated for a moment and asked timidly, "Do you...do you still want to give me acupuncture?" Her eyes showed both fear of pain and a desire to get rid of the torment of illness.

Huai'an patiently comforted him, "Don't be afraid. Your condition is due to qi stagnation and blood stasis. As long as I give you some acupuncture, you'll see results quickly. Of course, if you can also take some medication, you can completely cure this problem. Do you really want to be troubled by menstrual cramps every month?"

Chen Xin and Jiang Na looked at each other, and after hesitating for a moment, Jiang Na said, "Let's give it a try."

Huai'an said solemnly, "Hurry up and lie down on the bed. I'll give you acupuncture. It won't take long to finish."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin quickly and carefully helped Jiang Na to the bedside and helped her lie down. Strangely enough, at this moment, the two of them seemed to be under a spell, and were surprisingly obedient, without the slightest hesitation or resistance.

After seeing Jiang Na lying down obediently, Huai'an first carefully took her pulse again, and then gently lifted the corner of her clothes to reveal her fair abdomen.

With complete concentration, she located the acupoints next to Jiang Na's navel and skillfully and precisely inserted the silver needles. Then, she gently rolled up Jiang Na's trouser legs and applied needles to several acupoints on her legs as well.

Time ticked by, and soon a miraculous thing happened—Jiang Na's previously unbearable abdominal pain had completely subsided! By the time Huai An removed all the silver needles, Jiang Na was able to sit up easily. She looked at Huai An with astonishment, her eyes wide with disbelief, and couldn't help but ask, "Wow, I never expected you to have such amazing skills! Which master did you learn from? How long have you been learning?"

Huai'an smiled slightly and replied, "Of course, I was taught by a master. This kind of technique isn't something you can just figure out on your own. However, this only temporarily relieved your symptoms; it doesn't mean you're completely cured. I suggest you go see a professional traditional Chinese medicine practitioner as soon as possible for systematic acupuncture treatment, along with appropriate medication, so that your ailment can be completely cured."

Jiang Na and Chen Xin exchanged a glance. Jiang Na lowered her head and thought for a while before stammering, "I've told my mom many times, but she says all girls have menstrual cramps, and there's no need for treatment. She says they won't have cramps after... after getting married and having children... She refuses to get treatment, saying it's a waste of money..."

Her originally fair and delicate face instantly flushed crimson, like a ripe apple, as if scorched by a raging fire. Her shy expression made one think she was going through something unspeakable, something shameful. To be able to speak of it aloud clearly required immense courage from her, perhaps even more difficult than climbing Mount Everest.

Looking at her embarrassed face, Huai'an was momentarily at a loss for words. She could only shake her head helplessly, indicating her own inability to help. After all, she couldn't force Jiang Na to undergo treatment! So, she gently shrugged her shoulders and said in an extremely subtle and tactful tone, "Well, ultimately, it depends on what you two think. But I must warn you, once the pain flares up, it's not a pleasant experience! And the actual situation might not be as serious or simple as your mother says..."

Just then, Chen Xin, who had been standing quietly listening, seemed to have suddenly come up with a brilliant idea. Her eyes lit up and she excitedly suggested, "Hey, how about this, why don't you just let Shi Huai'an treat you?"

Huai'an waved his hand and said, "I don't have a medical license. I only helped you today because I saw that you were in a lot of pain... Besides, this treatment lasts until your period ends. Based on your situation, the treatment should start a week before your period, and it usually lasts for two weeks. Then, the treatment will continue in the next menstrual cycle. Normally, this course of treatment requires three sessions, and it also needs to be combined with traditional Chinese medicine. It would be difficult for you to stick to it."

Jiang Na pleaded with her clear eyes, "Huai'an, I was wrong before, I shouldn't have bullied you. Could you help me with my treatment? I'll come to the clinic every noon, okay? I'll ask my mom to buy the medicine according to the prescription, otherwise it's too painful."

Huai'an thought for a moment and said, "How about this, when Dr. Liu arrives, I'll ask her if I can do acupuncture for you under her supervision. As for the prescription, I can also write one for you. You can take it and get the medicine after Dr. Liu comes and reviews it. However, it must be with your parents' consent. If they don't agree, there's nothing I can do."

Jiang Na nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go home and discuss it with Mom."

At this moment, Dr. Liu pushed open the door and came in. After learning what had happened, she listened to Shi Huai'an explain the acupuncture points and techniques. She also showed Dr. Liu the prescription. After reading it, Liu Fang praised her greatly, saying, "Huai'an, you are really brave, but this prescription is usable." She then signed her name on the prescription and said to Jiang Na, "Come here at noon from now on, and I can watch her treat you."

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xin said, "I also have this problem with menstrual cramps. Can we get treatment together?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Fang reached out and carefully took Chen Xin's pulse, then gestured for Huai An to take it as well. After Huai An took the pulse, he explained his diagnosis. Liu Fang nodded repeatedly and said, "You are a promising young man! Your master has a worthy successor. I never expected you to have such a deep understanding of pathology at such a young age."

She then said to Chen Xin, "Our school clinic usually only handles emergencies. If it's a serious case, we'll send the patient to the hospital. In your case, we'd at most give you a painkiller and suggest you go to the hospital for treatment. However, since Huai'an has agreed, we'll start your treatment, but you must get your parents' consent first."

Chen Xin and Jiang Na nodded in agreement. Since Chen Xin's period was next week, she could receive treatment at the same time as Jiang Na, and they agreed to come to the clinic together at noon tomorrow. Liu Fang and Shi Huai'an also helped Chen Xin draft a prescription before they left.

By the end of the semester, Chen Xin and Jiang Na's menstrual cramps had also been treated.

The system gave Huai'an 2 points with a 'ding', leaving him with 6700 points to go. It also added 4 stamina points and 20 intelligence points.

Duoduo jumped out and said, "Meow~ I remember now, last time I helped Huai'an find the Tricolor Duck, you didn't give me any points. I protest, I want points, points for stamina and intelligence!"

The system's airflow fluctuated. Surprisingly, the silly little cat Duoduo remembered. Huai'an was also taken aback, saying, "Oh, right, I forgot too. Does that mean if we don't report it, we won't automatically get extra points?"

The system's voice finally rang out: "Treasure Hunt: +1000 points, Stamina +1, Intelligence +1"

Duoduo cried out again, "Meow~ An'an, I want a reward! I want dried fish, lots and lots of dried fish!"

Huai'an said indulgently, "Absolutely! Give Duo Duo 500 points worth of dried fish!"

Duoduo looked at the several large bags of fragrant dried fish that appeared on the floor, happily opened the bags and started eating. The system immediately started spinning rapidly, reporting: 6700 - 1000 + 500 = still owes 6200 points.

After the final exams, Shi Huai'an and his classmates were walking to the school gate when they ran into He Shuyi, who was standing there with Li Huaiyuan and talking to Li Huaizhang, who was leaving school.

When Li Huaiyuan saw Shi Huai'an surrounded by several classmates, carrying schoolbags and chatting and laughing as they walked out of the school gate, he looked at Huai'an in surprise and asked, "Are you looking for someone? Why did you come into the school?"

“I’m in the first year of junior high here!” Shi Huai’an didn’t even glance at He Shuyi. She just looked at Li Huaiyuan’s surprised expression with satisfaction and answered with a smile.

She had been waiting for Li Huaiyuan to discover it, but she never expected it to take so long.

"You two know each other? Huaiyuan, don't let her young age fool you, she skipped a grade and is already in the first year of junior high," Li Huaizhang said with pride.

Li Huaiyuan stood there dumbfounded, unable to understand how his younger sister, who was already in the first year of junior high school, could be in the third grade of elementary school while he was still in the third grade. No wonder his sixth brother never asked him about his studies.

He couldn't help but tug at his mother's hand, who was standing there in a daze, and whispered, "Mom, this is Lao Liu. I've known him for a long time. Aren't I amazing?"

He Shuyi was also stunned, looking at Shi Huai'an. It seemed like it had been several years since she last saw him. He had grown so much taller.

Li Huaizhang was dumbfounded. Although he had never met the sixth sister, he had heard his parents and uncles and aunts mention that the sixth sister had been given away. So he immediately realized that Shi Huai'an in front of him was the sixth sister who had been given away.

The world is so small, so small that they struggled to separate, yet somehow managed to meet again; yet the world is also so vast, so vast that they were so close, yet almost missed each other.

Li Huaizhang was deeply moved; he realized he wasn't alone. They had both experienced family upheavals and shared similar fates. A warm feeling welled up inside Li Huaizhang, as if he had found a kindred spirit. This feeling comforted him and made him feel closer to Shi Huaian.

"We are both wanderers from afar, why should we need to have known each other before?" This line of poetry suddenly came to Li Huaizhang's mind. He couldn't help but marvel at the wondrous arrangement of fate, allowing two once-lost souls to meet again. Although their life paths had diverged, at this moment, they were gathered here, facing the pain of the past together.

Li Huaizhang took a deep breath, tears glistening in his eyes. Many words welled up in his heart, but he couldn't say them for a moment. Lao Liu must be just as lonely and sad as he was... However, he couldn't find any trace of loneliness or loss on Lao Liu's face.

Li Huaiyuan was about to introduce her, saying, "This is my mother, and also..."

Shi Huai'an interrupted him with a childlike laugh, waved to them, and said crisply, "My mom is getting impatient at home. Goodbye, Auntie, I'm leaving now." Leaving the three of them standing there dumbfounded, Huai'an walked away chatting and laughing with his classmates without the slightest pause or hesitation.

Shi Huai'an had mixed feelings, but she pretended to be nonchalant and went home. She managed her expression very well, didn't she?

Li Huai'an shook He Shuyi's hand again and said anxiously, "Mom, that's the sixth son. Don't you recognize him? Why don't you tell her that you're his mom?"

He Shuyi sighed, looked calmly at the simple-minded Lao Wu, and said, "She has her own mother. Don't disturb her life. Let's go home!"

Aunt took Li Huaiyuan away. Today was the first time He Shuyi had taken the initiative to come to the school to find him. Because Li Huaiyuan had been called to the school for fighting yesterday, his parents were called in. When he came back, he happened to meet Li Huaizhang after school and they stood and said a few words.

Li Huaizhang walked away dejectedly in another direction. No matter how happy and joyful the children who were sent away lived, they always felt a sense of loneliness and deep inferiority. All the happiness was superficial; it couldn't fill the void within them…
