Chapter 061: Bai Chuwei Surrounded by the Girls
Every girl knows that those with a cold uterus, even in the height of summer, have icy cold abdomens, and sometimes even their hands and feet are cold. Yet after just a single acupuncture session, without even taking any medicine, the cold disappeared? Isn’t that a bit too mystical?
Among the girls, one who was on good terms with Su Ruan couldn’t help herself; she went straight up and placed her hand on Su Ruan’s abdomen, exclaiming in surprise, “It’s actually warm, not cold anymore.”
“Really? Let me touch it too!”
“I want to feel it as well! It’s really not cold anymore, my goodness, Bai Chuwei actually knows medicine? She’s even better than several old traditional doctors I’ve seen!”
Su Ruan’s face flushed bright red as she looked at the eager girls, hurriedly shielding herself and whispering, “It’s true, I feel so warm.”
Only girls who have suffered know how miserable menstrual pain can be. It’s definitely not something that can be solved with a casual, “Drink more hot water,” as boys often say. How many girls have rolled on their beds in agony, some even passing out from the pain?
One excited gaze after another was fixed on Bai Chuwei, and in the next moment, she was surrounded by a crowd of soft, delicate girls.
“Bai Chuwei, could you give me a few needles too? I get terrible period pain.”
“Bai, I have the latest luxury watch my brother brought back from abroad. It matches your style perfectly. If I give it to you, will you help me with acupuncture?”
“Chuwei darling, can you treat stomach aches? Next time we have a girls’ gathering, we’ll invite you!”
…
The boys passing by outside the girls’ restroom were utterly stunned.
Holy—!!!
They’d only ever heard of “like repels like!” Henghua First High was a prestigious academy, where girls not only competed academically but also for family background and beauty. Even someone as flawless as campus goddess Tong Qingyan had plenty of girls who secretly disliked her.
They could guarantee that even Tong Qingyan had never received such enthusiastic adoration from so many girls.
The group of boys were all green with envy; who hadn’t fantasized about being surrounded by girls like this? But how could they possibly be jealous of Bai Chuwei, another girl?
There’s a saying: conquering men isn’t much of a feat; a woman who wins the admiration of other women is a true goddess.
In the midst of the chatter, Gao Qiaoqiao gave a heavy cough.
Gao Qiaoqiao rubbed her sore left shoulder and said, “Bai Chuwei, so you know medicine? You said there’s something wrong with my left shoulder, right? Then help me out with a few needles, won’t you?”
Bai Chuwei’s gaze was disdainful. “And why should I?”
Gao Qiaoqiao was caught off guard. Weren’t they at least classmates? Su Ruan wasn’t even in the same class!
Bai Chuwei toyed with her acupuncture kit, admiring the exquisite ink bamboo pattern woven from fine black thread, and spoke leisurely, “Should I do it because you write my homework? Or because you can pay my consultation fee?”
Gao Qiaoqiao had already heard that Bai Chuwei was the adopted daughter of the Bai family. Since she was adopted, she obviously couldn’t compare to Bai Yinyin, the heiress, and probably didn’t have much pocket money.
A hint of mockery flashed in Gao Qiaoqiao’s eyes—so Bai Chuwei was desperate for cash. She coughed, “If you can fix my shoulder pain, I’ll pay your consultation fee. I never said I’d freeload.”
The Gao family was nouveau riche; ordinary in Haicheng, but they had money! If she didn’t like someone, she’d just throw money at them!
The ancestor flicked her ink-black hair, her voice playful and lazy, “Since we’re classmates, I’ll give you half off. Consultation fee: one million.”
