be late

"Take a pack of gauze."

Tang Ruoyan stood in front of the counter, bowed her head to pay, and the lady in the pharmacy put the pack of gauze on the glass table: "Ten yuan."

"it is good."

The pharmacy was in a small alley. After Tang Ruoyan paid the payment, the two of them walked out. A gust of cold wind swept in, dry and cold.

In the alley in winter, the cold wind was blowing, Shu Yubai tightened his coat, his long hair was blown to a mess, and he stood there trembling slightly.

Tang Ruoyan held her sleeve: "Hurry up, it won't be cold once you enter the room."

Shu Yubai was led by her, and the two crossed the road and entered the Chinese medicine physiotherapy center.

Tang Ruoyan paused before entering the door.

She looked back, behind her was the winter street, pedestrians were in a hurry, and she couldn't see anything.

"Why do I always feel that someone is following me?"

Shu Yubai tilted his head: "No way?"

Tang Ruoyan thought about it too, she had something to follow, she shook her head: "It might be an illusion."

The room was very warm, Tang Ruoyan's glasses were foggy, she took them off and wiped them, then put them on again.There were still a few people sitting on benches waiting for their number in the hall. Shu Yubai entered the consultation room, afraid of delaying her time, he said, "Just do it today."

"Ah."

Tang Ruoyan nodded: "I'm also afraid that you will not be able to bear it if you prick too much at once."

The young girl at the door came pushing a small cart, and there were piles of bottles, gauze and silver needles on the cart.

Shu Yubai glanced at it, a bunch of needles were long and sharp, shining coldly, her face turned pale.

"Come on, roll up your sleeves."

Tang Ruoyan looked at her.

Shu Yubai hummed, got up and took off her coat. Inside the coat was a thin sweater. She didn't wear much, and the sleeves of the sweater were very elastic. With a light swipe, she put it on.

Her arm was white and slender. Tang Ruoyan held her wrist and looked carefully. The acupuncture point was on the forearm, and said: "The clothes should go up a little more. To the position of the forearm."

Shu Yubai nodded, and continued to roll up.

The cuffs of the clothes were a little tight and not easy to handle. Shu Yubai tried to roll them up, but they got stuck.

"..."

She tried again, and asked Tang Ruoyan: "Is this okay?"

"not enough."

The acupuncture point is near the shoulder.

The girl on the side suggested sincerely: "Why don't you take off your clothes, it's not cold here."

Besides, see a doctor, why be shy?

She smiled and continued:

"I'll guard the door for you. No one comes in. Take off your clothes, and it's convenient for Dr. Tang to find acupuncture points."

Take your clothes off?

Shu Yubai lowered his head, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he felt a little embarrassed. Although it is normal to encounter such things when seeing a doctor, but...

"It's ok."

Tang Ruoyan smiled softly: "It's okay if it's inconvenient. Next time we'll tie it on."

Shu Yubai sat on the hospital bed with downcast eyes and struggled for a moment, then took off the outer sweater, leaving only a bottoming shirt inside, she pinched the first button with her fingertips, and gently unbuttoned it.

Then came the second one.

She pinched the collar and tried to open it to the side.

dong dong dong.

Suddenly there was a light knock on the door.

The three people inside were stunned, and all looked at the position of the door.

The door was not locked, it was closed loosely, and a crack was opened, there was a faint figure, and the person outside pushed it open.

"Please come in."

Tang Ruoyan said.

The door was pushed open, and a tall girl stood there, with the light behind her back, and she was covered with cold air.

Shu Yubai sat on the bed, his clothes were half untied, his sleeves were still stuck on his arms, and Tang Ruoyan gently supported him.

The two looked at each other, and Shu Yubai was a little embarrassed.

There was also some faint tension.

She shrank her arms unconsciously, as if trying to clear something up - but she was just seeing a doctor, not a blind date.Thinking about it this way, she didn't take the next step, and let Tang Ruoyan hold her wrist.

"Nan Xue?"

She asked softly, "Why are you here? Are you feeling unwell?"

Nan Xue shook her head, and nodded again after a moment.

She lied and said without blinking: "I have a headache, come and prescribe medicine."

It's easy to get headaches in winter, but Shu Yubai still senses something subtle - she seems to meet Nan Xue often these days.

Last time, it was at You Fu's place.

This time...

She closed her eyes and drove away the ridiculous thoughts.Nan Xue intends to follow her?How is it possible, this idea is too... narcissistic.

The light of the incandescent lamp fell on Shu Yubai's arm. Her arm was white, soft and slender. Tang Ruoyan was gently pinching her wrist, not knowing what to do.Shu Yubai's neck was slightly drooping, her black hair was spread out, her shirt was undone, the room was hot, her cheeks were slightly crimson, her eyes were soft, as if she was shy.

Nan Xue looked away from Shu Yubai calmly, and turned to Tang Ruoyan.

Very cold.

Chilling.

Tang Ruoyan felt a chill down her spine, she raised her eyes and saw the girl at the door.

She is thin and thin, with a thick white coat hugging her chest, and she wears a thin layer of clothing underneath. She wears a bottoming shirt and wide-leg pants, which make her waist thin and her legs are long. Her body proportions are beautiful.

The girl has a pair of moist red lips, cold white skin, dark eyes, and a little cold hostility when looking at her.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered the few words Shu Yubai had just said on the side of the road.

-The guy she likes is good looking but looks cold.

There is another sentence at the end, which seems to praise her cute...cute?Tang Ruoyan glanced at Nan Xue again, she was really beautiful, she shook her head, forget about being cute.

There was a chill down her spine.

Could it be that Shu Yubai likes...

She felt the flash of hostility in the girl's eyes, and suddenly understood something—they might not be unrequited love.

Don't worry about it, she just wants to treat Shu Yubai's illness, there is absolutely nothing else!

Tang Ruoyan thought distressedly, wishing to write the words "Shu Yubai is yours, it has nothing to do with me" on her forehead, but she couldn't do that kind of thing, so she just smiled lightly on her face: " Headache? Come, sit first."

Tang Ruoyan's assistant brought her a small stool, and Nan Xue sat down beside Shu Yubai's bed.

"I'm here for acupuncture."

Shu Yubai lowered his head and explained softly.

Although she didn't know what to explain.

Sitting there, Nan Xue was slightly startled, as if she had just realized something, and asked, "Is this where you used to see a doctor?"

"Ah."

Shu Yubai explained: "I came last week, and I'm here for a follow-up visit this time."

Now she understood - the two messages said: It's been a week, it's time for a follow-up visit.

Nan Xue calmed down a little.

She glanced at Shu Yubai's loose shirt collar, leaned closer, and helped her button it one by one, glanced at Tang Ruoyan, and asked coldly: "Her hand hurts, what are you doing undressing?"

Tang Ruoyan: "..."

Who said acupuncture hurts where it hurts?

The acupuncture point is on the shoulder, how to prick it without taking off your clothes.

"Okay, don't take it off." Tang Ruoyan had no choice but to say so.

Surrounded by three people, one of them regarded her as an imaginary enemy, but Tang Ruoyan was still abnormally calm. She pinched the silver needle and pierced it into a certain part of Shu Yubai's forearm.

Nan Xue watched closely, feeling pain.

She handed her hand to Shu Yubai for her to hold. The girl's hand was soft and warm. Shu Yubai held her hand and raised his eyes inexplicably: "?"

"Sister, does it hurt?"

Nan Xue frowned.

"Fortunately."

Fortunately, it is really okay.

Not as scary as imagined.

But in the next second, the long needle pierced from the other side of her arm.

Tang Ruoyan pinched both sides of the needle without changing her expression, gently moving it back and forth, inserting it back and forth.

Like cutting flesh.

This is different from ordinary acupuncture.

There are not many people who can skillfully master the elongated needle technique, so it is not very popular in the market.

Nan Xue was startled: "It really doesn't hurt?"

They are all pierced.

"Uh, it doesn't hurt."

In fact, there is a little bit, but Shu Yubai endured it and didn't say it.

After doing this for a while, it's over.

Tang Ruoyan gave up the idea of ​​asking Shu Yubai to take off her clothes to give her a needle in the shoulder - there was someone watching, afraid that she would look somewhere else, like a wolf cub protecting food.

"Okay."

She puts the needle down.

Tang Ruoyan stood up and took a rest.

Several people bid farewell at the door, Tang Ruoyan leaned on the door frame relaxedly, watching Shu Yubai's leaving back.

The two walked to the zebra crossing on the asphalt road, when a car drove over, Nan Xue gently hugged Shu Yubai's waist, and leaned very close, as if kissing her forehead lightly.

He bowed his head very lightly.

Again it seems not.

The next second, she turned around.

The warmth in the eyes dissipated, and when he glanced at Tang Ruoyan in the distance, his dark eyes were icy.

Tang Ruoyan shuddered.

... She is swearing sovereignty?

The author has something to say: the main reason for changing it to Pounding Heartbeat is that it feels a little sweeter, and it sounds abusive if it's a little late, but it seems to sound better.
