The next day, the principal and Zhong Peifeng came to the Xie residence bright and early.

Zhao Chuchu and the others were just having breakfast, so they invited them to join in.

The principal obliged. When Zhong Peifeng saw this, he did not reject their offer.

The principal kept praising Chang Hong’s cooking to the point that she felt embarrassed.

“Principal, you are giving me too high praise. This is all I have that is presentable. My other dishes are not up to par. Principal, if you like my food, have some more. My husband told me yesterday that we would have guests early in the morning, so I prepared extra.”

“Haha, then I will oblige and have some more,” replied the principal as he laughed out loud.

He did not put on air and was approachable. He did not look like the principal of an academy at all. He was more like an ordinary senior.

The principal and Xie Jun gobbled up the breakfast that Chang Hong had prepared.

When the principal saw this, he kindly patted Xie Jun on the head and said, is a blessing to be able to eat well. Junjun will become a person with good fortune in the future.

“Thank you, Principal,” replied Xie Jun with a red face. “Principal, you will also be fortunate.

“I accept your blessing,” said the principal, laughing heartily. “Alright, I heard from your brother that you are studying now. Quickly head back to your studies. When I am done with my check-up, I will have a look at your work.”

Xie Jun began to panic.

He was panicking more than when Xie Heng inspected his work.

However, he did not dare to say anything.

To the side, Zhao Chuchu smiled. No matter which era they were in, having the teacher inspect their work was a psychological trauma for students, even if it wasn’t by their own teacher!

“Alright, Principal,” answered Xie Jun as he obediently headed to his study. However, his face was solemn and tragic, as though he was walking off to his death.

Xie Heng could only shake his head helplessly.

Zhao Chuchu invited the principal and Zhong Peifeng to the medicine room.

She would first perform acupuncture on the principal.

The principal said, “After you performed acupuncture on me yesterday, I finally managed to get a good night’s sleep last night. I have not slept so comfortably until morning for more than a decade. Chuchu, I leave this old problem of mine in your hands!”

“Principal, I guarantee that we can cure your ailment. However, you should also pay attention to your health in the future. Otherwise, it will hurt again.”

“I am no longer young anymore. I will naturally need to take care of myself more.”

“Principal, please take off your clothes. Da Lang, please pass me the medicine box. ”

Xie Heng took the medicine box off the shelf and passed it to Zhao Chuchu.

“This round will be more painful than yesterday’s procedure. Principal, please bear with the pain.”

“I already have my handkerchief ready.”

The principal smiled as he took out a plain handkerchief, folded it, and bit down on it.

“Begin,” he said, his words muffled by the handkerchief in his mouth.

Zhao Chuchu could not help laughing out loud. She said, “Principal, you truly care not for your image.”

The principal replied, “That is the style of old-fashioned scholars. What use is an image? It’s not like I can eat it. As long as I can cure my ailment, I do not mind losing it.”

Zhao Chuchu liked seniors like him.

Although the principal guaranteed that he would be able to endure the pain, when she actually began the procedure, he could not help snorting in pain.

Zhao Chuchu was not joking. It was truly more painful than yesterday. It only took a while for him to be covered in sweat. He grabbed the stool he was sitting on firmly.

Zhong Peifeng watched beside him and began sweating himself.

After Zhao Chuchu stuck the needles into the principal’s acupoints, she then said to Zhong Peifeng, “Mr. Zhong, please sit over there. Take off your clothes and pull your pants down to this level.”

She gestured to a spot without thinking much.

On the other hand, Zhong Peifeng’s face was red from embarrassment.

He had never done such a thing in front of a woman before.

However, Xie Heng and the principal were both present. Zhong Peifeng felt that he was being too fussy. Zhao Chuchu was a physician. She was merely carrying out her duties.

Zhong Peifeng managed to convince himself, but his face still remained bright red.

Zhao Chuchu explained, “I have not managed to get all the medicinal herbs for your medicine yet. I will first apply acupuncture on you. When I have collected all the herbs, you can then begin taking your medicine.”

“Alright. Sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Xie.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Zhao Chuchu took out another pouch of needles and opened them in front of Zhong Peifeng.

When Zhong Peifeng saw the needles, he gulped. These needles were longer than the ones used on the principal.

“Do not panic. It is normal to feel pain,” Zhao Chuchu comforted him. “You are younger than the principal. Your pain tolerance won’t be worse than his, right?”

The principal and Zhong Peifeng were both speechless.

She didn’t have to put it that wav!

As Zhao Chuchu applied acupuncture on Zhong Peifeng, she used her healing power.

At first, Zhong Peifeng felt pain, but he soon discovered that as the needles punctured into his skin, a faint warmth flowed into his body.

As the warmth gradually flowed throughout his meridians across his entire body, his whole being began to relax.

After Zhao Chuchu finished, she felt slightly light-headed.

“Da Lang, please get me something to eat.”

She needed to replenish her energy. Otherwise, she would not be able to stay awake..
