Chapter 42: A Phone Call from My Sister

“Rest assured. It will not hurt a bit. If you feel pain, you can call me a liar,” Su Chen solemnly promised.

Qin Keke believed at last and sobbed as she nodded.

“Let her lie down. The acupoint is on the tummy,” said Su Chen as he looked at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun quickly nodded and then let her daughter lie down with her head pillowing on her thigh. She lifted her daughter’s clothing and revealed her belly.

“Come on. I’m not afraid!” Qin Keke gave herself a boost and tightly closed her eyes. She did not dare to see the silver needle, and her eyelashes trembled nervously.

Su Chen smiled and then squatted to start the acupuncture.

He did not lie. With his advanced medical skills, including acupuncture and moxibustion, even some old practitioners would have to give way to him. The patient would not feel any pain.

The crowd in the store surrounded them and watched curiously.

Real acupuncture was rarely seen these days. Some of the people there had never seen it before.

Lin Yumeng covered her face and stood aside nervously. She was a little afraid of injections too, and she did not dare to look at the bright silver needle. But she couldn’t help feeling curious and watched through the space between her fingers.

Every time Su Chen put a silver needle into the acupuncture point, she was scared and put her fingers together.

“Are you done? Why didn’t you start poking?” urged Qin Keke as she closed her eyes.

“I am done acupuncturing you.” Su Chen answered with a smile.

“Done?”

Qin Keke was surprised and opened her eyes. She saw a few vertical silver needles stuck on her stomach, and she felt a little afraid and amazed at the same time. She stretched out her hands to touch the needles curiously.

“Don’t touch it!” Qin Yun quickly grabbed her daughter’s hand.

“It didn’t hurt. Big brother, you are amazing.” Qin Keke looked at Su Chen with surprise.

Su Chen was a little proud and grinned.

“How long will this take?” asked Qin Yun.

“Twenty minutes. I will take the needles off when it is time. Your stomach will not hurt anymore,” answered Su Chen with a smile.

Twenty minutes later, Su Chen took off the silver needles.

Qin Keke stood up to touch her stomach. Her stomach did not hurt a bit anymore. She smiled at once and stretched her hand as she raised her head and said to Su Chen, “Big brother, hug!”

Su Chen was shocked and then smiled and picked her up.

“Mwah!

Qin Keke kissed his face hard, smiled sweetly, and said, “This is the gift of thanks.”

The clever and mischievous little girl amused Su Chen. He stretched out his hands and pinched her face.

“Brother, don’t pinch my face. I’ll become ugly,” complained Qin Keke as she stuck out her lips.

Everyone in the store laughed.

Qin Yun did not blame the restaurant owner anymore when her daughter was fine. After all, the main reason she got sick was that her daughter was greedy and ate as she wished.

“You were here to walk around, right? Why don’t you join us? I’ll invite you to dinner later and thank you.” Qin Yun smiled and suggested as they walked out of the shop.

“It’s okay. It is my pleasure.” Su Chen smiled and declined.

“Let’s go together. Keke likes you too. I won’t be free usually, and I happen to have time to take her around,” invited Qin Yun again.

Qin Keke let go of her mother’s hand. She went between Su Chen and Lin Yumeng and held one of their hands each. She looked up at their face and said eagerly, “Brother Chen, Sister Mengmeng, let’s go and play in the amusement park!”

They did not know how to refuse. They looked at each other and then smiled and nodded.

“Yay! Let’s go to the amusement park!” Qin Keke cheered happily.

So, four of them sat in the Maserati that Qin Yun owned and drove toward the amusement park.

Adventure rides like roller coasters, pendulum swings, pirate ships, and so on are just too much for ordinary people.

Su Chen and Qin Yun came out quickly and sat on the bench and rested with pale faces. Fortunately, Lin Yumeng was still innocent and childlike. She was energetic and played happily with Qin Keke.

After two hours at the amusement park, they went to the aquarium and the zoo. Finally, they went to a fancy restaurant.

Then, Qin Yun drove Su Chen and Lin Yumeng back to their university.

In the car, Lin Yumeng and Qin Keke were still very excited about today’s happy things and had decided to go out again. They were like a pair of old friends.

As they spoke, they were tired after playing so much, and they fell asleep one after the other.

“Su Chen, I really have to thank you for today. Keke has not been this happy for a long time.” Qin Yun looked at Su Chen through the rearview mirror and smiled.

Su Chen shook his head. He looked at Lin Yumeng, who leaned on his shoulder and slept. He kept his body still as he smiled and said, ” Mengmeng enjoyed it too. She even ate a nice meal. It’s us who should thank you.”

“You are very kind to her. How long have you been together? asked Qin Yun.

“Not long. We met at the gym during the summer vacation. She is a freshman, and I am in my second year. I confessed my love to her during the beginning of the entrance of a new batch of students.”

“This is nice. University dates are the most beautiful moments. I appreciate it!”

“Hmm.”

As they chatted, the car was arriving at the University of Magic City.

“Mengmeng, we have arrived.” Su Chen gently shook Lin Yumeng and woke her up.

“Huh? Arrived?” Lin Yumeng yawned and sat up straight.

Qin Yun did not wake up her daughter, who was on the passenger seat. She followed both of them and got out of the car. Then she smiled and said, “Let’s go out together again when we the time.”

“Ok, no problem. I’ll treat you all next time.”Su Chen smiled and nodded.

“Sister Qin, bye-bye. Drive carefully.” Lin Yumeng smiled and waved goodbye.

‘Call me if you need anything. I can help you with anything in this Magic City,” Qin Yun said with a smile, then opened the door of the car.

After sending off Qin Yun’s car, both of them turned and walked into the university.

Lin Yumeng came to the girls’ dormitory building.

“What a day.” Lin Yumeng hugged Su Chen’s waist, looking up at him as she smiled.

Su Chen kissed on her forehead with a heart full of love. Then he said in a soft voice, “Go up and take a good rest.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yumeng smiled and nodded. She tiptoed and pecked him on the lips and then shyly ran into the dormitory building.

Su Chen looked at her back with a warm smile, turned, and left.

When approaching the dormitory, he suddenly received a phone call from his sister.

“Hey, Momo. What’s the matter?”

“Brother, mom and dad’s company seems to be in trouble.” Su Mo’s a little anxious voice came through the phone.

“The thing that mom told us about before?” inquired Su Chen.

If that was the case, they would not need to worry. Su Chen had finished writing the novel and was ready to send it to his dad.

“No, I went home yesterday. Our parents didn’t want me to worry, so they pretended that everything was normal. But I could see that they seemed to be in big trouble and didn’t sleep at all last night.” Su Mo’s tone of voice was full of worry.

“Where are you now?”

“I am at school. Dad sent me to school in the morning, and then they went to work. I thought about it all day, and I decided to talk to you about it.”

“Well, I see. I’ll come home tomorrow. Don’t worry.”

Su Chen comforted her and hung up the phone.
