Chapter 48

"Uh... Why are you so fierce... You didn’t tell me before."

Young Master Zhao was momentarily stunned by Chu Nan’s roar, feeling a bit wronged as he said.

He had never seen anyone shout at him like this before.

"Young Master Zhao... Well, okay, it’s my mistake, I forgot to tell you."

Chu Nan found it quite interesting that Young Master Zhao had such an unknown side. He suddenly didn’t understand why Li Mengru had kicked him so hard before. This Young Master Zhao didn’t seem like a despicable person at all.

Thinking about this, Chu Nan instantly recalled the time Li Mengru had kicked him, as if he understood something.

Could it be that Young Master Zhao was also wronged by Li Mengru?

... ...

Young Master Zhao lay on the bed, quietly receiving Chu Nan’s acupuncture, chattering away.

"Virgin, how did you learn this incredible skill?"

"… It’s passed down in our Chu family."

"Amazing! Can you teach me?"

"… Uh, no."

"Why?"

"Passed down to men, not women."

"Uh? Between us… is there some misunderstanding?"

"Hehe, just a joke. Our Chu family’s tradition is not to be passed outside."

"Okay, got it. —— By the way, Virgin, I have a question for you."

"Uh-huh."

"Why are you called Virgin? If you were a girl, would you be called Virgin Girl?"

"It’s Chu Nan!"

"Oh… Just a joke, don’t mind it. Anyway, Chu Nan, I’m curious, you know I’m from a prominent family, yet you still dare to speak to me like this, aren’t you afraid?"

"Hehe, we’re all human beings. The so-called rich and poor, noble and humble, are just social order rules. Following them is one way of living. Not following them is another. I choose the latter."

"Have some backbone!!"

"Uh… Thanks for the compliment. But I have a question for you too."

"What question?"

"I heard… you were severely injured by a girl last year, what exactly happened?"

"Ah, don’t mention it… You mean that spoiled daughter of the Li family? —— It was all because I was bewitched at the time, I actually tried to chat with her. We chatted for a bit, and I was quite happy. Then she suddenly closed her eyes, I thought she wanted me to kiss her, so I…"

"So you got injured honorably."

"Uh-huh… Damn it! Who knew she splashed her own juice into her eyes! Movies are the death of people! Who said that when a girl closes her eyes, she definitely wants you to kiss her?!!"

"… I feel sorry for you."

"But speaking of which… how did you figure out that… cough, cough, I started… at twelve?"

"Simple, I calculated that you first encountered love at fifteen, but your pulse indicated that you lost your essence too early. Your sexual activity must have started at twelve, so…"

"Damn… This physiognomy is really amazing! If I use it to flirt with girls, wouldn’t that be awesome? —— Hey, beautiful, you’re in your safe period today, do you mind coming home with me for a cup of coffee… Ouch, Chu Nan, why did you hit me?"

Chu Nan said irritably, "First, changing feng shui to reverse fate is defying nature. Every time I calculate a fortune, it goes against the natural order, and I need to make up for it. If you learn physiognomy, you’ll probably die before thirty due to divine retribution! Second, physiognomy is a sacred tradition passed down by our ancestors, a national treasure, not for flirting!!"

"Uh… So serious, divine retribution? Then I won’t learn it. —— But, Chu Nan, your medical skills are excellent, and your feng shui and physiognomy are profound. You must have made a lot of money, right?"

"Ah, our family tradition is to treat patients until they are fully recovered, only charging one hundred yuan. As for feng shui and physiognomy… kidding, how many people in this world still believe in it?"

"Brother, don’t be discouraged, I believe you can make it. Otherwise, I can have you read my fortune every day, and I’ll give you… um, ten thousand yuan every day! How about that?"

"Uh…" Chu Nan was very surprised. He had just met Zhao Zihong today, why was he being so nice to him?

But then he realized, these rich young masters can’t be judged by normal standards. To them, money is just a number. What they truly value is friendship and sincerity!

And Chu Nan was the first young person he had met who dared to speak the truth to him, so he felt a sense of regret for not meeting him sooner.

"Thank you, Young Master Zhao…"

"Don’t call me Young Master Zhao, just call me Zihong in private!"

"Okay, Zihong, thank you for your kindness. No reward without merit, accepting such gifts would make me feel guilty, and I would have to repay it in the future. I’ll rely on my own efforts."

"I admire your character! —— Chu Nan, I support you, but seriously, although I’m not very successful, I can help with small things. If you need money, as long as it’s not more than… um, as long as it’s not more than twenty million, I can definitely get it for you!"

"…" Chu Nan felt dizzy hearing this number, then said, "Please… don’t mention money to me in the future. I find you quite interesting, we’ll be friends, mentioning money is a bit too much."

"Okay, I understand."

Chu Nan nodded, then put away the fine silver needles and opened the most tightly wrapped ancient brocade box in the cloth bag.

"Whoosh!"

Chu Nan took out a very long and sharp silver needle, its cold light flashing, startling Zhao Zihong.

Zhao Zihong looked at the needle’s tip, which was intricately carved with a dragon’s head!

"Damn! Chu Nan, don’t tell me you’re going to stick this in me!!"

Chu Nan laughed, "This is the first needle of our Chu family’s [Heaven-Defying Eight Needles], the ‘Dragon Phase’ Dragon Yang Needle! You’re lucky to see me use it on you, you won’t have lived in vain. Otherwise, ordinary acupuncture would take a year to fully recover you. This only needs three days of rest."

"Really that amazing?!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zihong didn’t say more. The difference between three days and a year was huge! Especially for Zhao Zihong, who had been suffering for half a year, each day felt like an eternity! So, for his own happiness, he had to follow Chu Nan’s advice!

Thus…

Five seconds later, Ye Shengge, who was drinking tea in the living room, suddenly heard a scream from the room.

"Ah!!… So long, Chu Nan, go slower!!"

"Pfft!!" Poor Ye Shengge was choked by a mouthful of tea again.
