The next morning.
When the camera captured Ling Qianhe getting up to wash his face, everyone scrambled to watch.
The orphanage bathroom was rudimentary. He took a shower in the morning, and when he emerged, his white shirt revealed a stretch of fair, supple waist. He was already clean and handsome, making everyone covetous.
【Tsk tsk tsk, are there any male celebrities in the entertainment industry with better waists than Qianhe younger brother! Love!】
【Ahem, Qianhe younger brother is not just his waist that is good-looking, is it?】
However, through the white shirt, faint marks could be seen on his waist and back.
Fans began to speculate.
【Love bites?】
【Nonsense, where are love bites this distinct and large? But it looks particularly alluring, tsk tsk tsk.】
【It is indeed alluring, with crimson marks on the waist.】
But no matter how the fans thought, they could never have imagined.
These were actually marks left by Lin Muci from cupping therapy.
The next morning, everyone gathered again. Yang Weiyang leaned next to Lin Muci and asked if she had slept well. Lin Muci coughed, her expression somewhat strange.
“It was… okay, I guess.”
Ling Qianhe put on his down jacket, concealing the suggestive waist.
He chuckled lightly, and Lin Muci, instead, sneezed!
Achoo!
Ling Qianhe must be plotting something!
…
Today's morning task was breakfast.
The directors squatted in the orphanage's small courtyard, asking them to complete three traditional Chinese medicine skills. Only after receiving the approval of the old TCM doctor could they eat breakfast.
Acupuncture, Tuina, and cupping.
Lin Muci thought Ling Qianhe was talking nonsense last night, but she didn't expect them to actually test TCM skills.
The other three girls had strange expressions, thinking the task was too difficult.
But the directors were secretly smiling.
“Mr. Luo is the vice president of our city's folk TCM association, an authoritative TCM practitioner. The number of difficult and complicated diseases he has cured is countless. It is your good fortune to be able to learn TCM skills from him. Although it is only superficial knowledge, it is enough for you to benefit for a lifetime.”
“You should thank Mr. Luo!”
Mr. Luo?
Lin Muci didn't have any particular thoughts at first, she just felt it was enough to complete the task step by step.
Unexpectedly, crying sounds erupted from outside the orphanage, even reaching the program team.
Lin Muci couldn't help but frown, hearing someone wailing in her ear.
“It’s all his fault! It’s all his fault, this quack doctor—you bastard! It’s all his fault. If he hadn't inserted the needles incorrectly, sob sob… why would our Xiaoxiao be paralyzed and half-crippled?”
“You still dare to appear on TV? We are here today to seek justice!”
Lin Muci looked up with a hint of confusion.
And at that moment, the system’s clear prompt sounded in her mind.
“Sudden Mission. Expose the quack doctor Luo Shuisheng!”
“Reward points, one hundred points!”
Lin Muci was startled.
Had the system's personality changed? Why was it suddenly so generous?
It wasn't until she read the mission description that she understood why the system had suddenly become so generous.
“Expose the quack doctor Luo Shuisheng. Mission description. Luo Shuisheng, as a charlatan, has been harming the local community for a long time, propagating feudal superstition, and practicing acupuncture recklessly, causing many people to miss the best treatment window, and even causing serious consequences such as lifelong paralysis for the populace.”
“Expose his conspiracy and cure the young girl Xiaoxiao, who was harmed by him.”
“Note. Luo Shuisheng has a protective umbrella behind him. Once you expose him, you will offend the local rampant bully Zhao Tuhai!”
“Zhao Tuhai is notorious in the area.”
“Offending him may lead to his retaliation during the subsequent filming of the program.”
It seemed like a chain mission?
However, the rewards for chain missions were always very high.
If she could expose this quack doctor and complete the subsequent missions, she might even have enough points to upgrade to Level Two medical skills.
Lin Muci immediately chose to accept the mission!
Yang Weiyang beside her was a little nervous. She had never encountered such a situation; it was chaotic outside.
It looked like they were about to fight.
She clasped Lin Muci’s hand, “Xiaoci, what should we do?”
The program team was also unhappy. It was a live broadcast, so why were people causing trouble? This TCM doctor was said to be quite famous locally.
This must be the competition deliberately sending people to cause trouble, trying to prevent the program from continuing, right?
The program team's security guards wanted to drive them away, but Lin Muci’s heart stirred, and she spoke.
“Wait.”
She walked over.
“You say your daughter Xiaoxiao is paralyzed, is that true?”
The peasant woman wiped her tears.
“Of course it’s true. Xiaoxiao fell from the steps at school. The doctor said surgery couldn't be done, so we found a TCM doctor to give Xiaoxiao acupuncture. As a result, she became half-paralyzed. She’s only in her teens, what will her future be like? She can’t be paralyzed in bed forever.”
Lin Muci soothed the other person gently.
“I have experience with this kind of thing. Can I take a look?”
With this incident during the live broadcast, the cameras should have stopped.
But everyone was puzzled.
【Xiaoci said she has experience?】
【What does she mean by ‘she has experience’? What does this mean?】
After a while, someone hesitantly typed in the bullet screen.
【Do you guys really not know?】
【Lin Muci was also a vegetative person before. She suffered school bullying and was pushed down the stairs at school… almost died. Don’t you guys know about this?】
【The person who pushed her is still alive and well.】
【Precisely because of this, she must have endured so much malice, which is why Xiaoci has such a serious, diligent, positive, and optimistic personality now. Sob sob, you guys actually don’t know she almost died? She was so terribly abused back then, sob sob sob.】
Everyone was shocked.
【She is a victim of school bullying?】
【Why didn’t she say so when she participated in the program?】
Lin Muci’s fans were heartbroken, their hearts about to shatter.
【Back then, everyone was blackening her, she had so many haters, and everyone just wanted to smear her. If we had said she was a victim of school bullying, would you have believed it? You wouldn't have believed it at all.】
The cameraman was still foolishly holding the camera.
Then, they saw a sturdy man carrying a slender little girl.
Lin Muci squeezed her limbs.
“Indeed, the diagnosis was wrong.”
That TCM doctor, Luo Shuisheng, was extremely unconvinced.
“Who do you think you are? What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I was invited by your program team, so I came specifically to teach you acupuncture and cupping skills. If you keep talking nonsense, little girl, I’ll rip your mouth apart!”
【Tsk, his mouth is too dirty. How can a doctor who treats patients have such foul language? If I were the patient, I wouldn’t believe him!】
Lin Muci raised her eyes calmly.
“You think I need you to teach me cupping?”
Ling Qianhe stood aside, his voice seemingly carrying a hint of amusement.
“Yes, cupping, you don't need to teach them, she knows.”
“I can prove it.”
Everyone was stunned.
How could Qianhe prove it?
Had he been cupped by Lin Muci?
Ling Qianhe took off his black down jacket and raised his hand. Under his white shirt, he pointed to the alluring marks on his waist and said,
“Her technique is very good.”
The staff were stunned.
The audience was stunned.
This… this also works?
Are these two people in an ambiguous relationship where they can casually do cupping?
However, Ling Qianhe's waist and back were enviable to behold. So fair and supple, it would be a shame not to apply cupping!
