Chapter 522 - 522 A Little Illusion
522 A Little Illusion
Su Xiaolu praised almost every dish. After dinner, Zhou Zhi also ate a lot.
After dinner, he lay down and Su Xiaolu gave him acupuncture.
Zhou Zhi was a little tired. His voice was very soft. “Xiaolu, will I become blind this time?”
“Not this time.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and injected him as she answered.
“That’s good…”
Zhou Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. He actually didn’t like the feeling of being blind. He didn’t have legs to begin with. If he didn’t even have eyes, he was afraid that he would go crazy.
“You still don’t want to sleep? Your willpower is really good. Let’s see how many needles you can last.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi curiously. Zhou Zhi’s willpower was beyond her imagination. Logically speaking, Zhou Zhi should have fallen asleep after being injected with these acupuncture points. However, he was only a little tired, but he was still awake.
Zhou Zhi smiled and said gently, “Okay, Xiaolu, count for me.”
Su Xiaolu smiled. She felt that she was hallucinating. She felt that Zhou Zhi’s words were actually a little doting.
However, Zhou Zhi was not her brother. This was her illusion.
She collected her thoughts and seriously inserted the needles.
After the injection, she looked at Zhou Zhi. She could tell that he was very sleepy and his blinking was slowing down, but he was not asleep yet.
Su Xiaolu inserted needles one after another. When the last few needles were inserted, Zhou Zhi finally fell asleep.
Su Xiaolu heaved a sigh of relief. If he was still awake, it would be inconvenient for her to give him acupuncture on his legs.
After Zhou Zhi fell asleep, Su Xiaolu lifted his pants and continued to perform acupuncture.
After doing all of this, Su Xiaolu rested for a while. All the silver needles began to soak in poison. Su Xiaolu put on her sheepskin gloves and began to remove the needles.
The sky outside began to brighten. After taking out all the silver needles, Su Xiaolu covered Zhou Zhi with the blanket and went back to rest.
For the past few days, she had to detoxify Zhou Zhi at such a high intensity and rest whenever she could.
She fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow. Her consciousness sank into the Space. The spiritual energy nourished her divine sense and brushed away her physical and mental fatigue.

Sun Yangxin kept watch over Zhou Wenjing. The two children were very safe, but Zhou Wenjing didn’t wake up.
He could only feed Zhou Wenjing some ginseng water. It was almost dawn when Zhou Wenjing woke up. She gradually regained consciousness as she trembled and touched her abdomen. “Where are the children?”
Before Sun Yangxin could say a word, Zhou Wenjing broke down and cried. “You just don’t want me to give birth, but this is your flesh and blood. They’re already alive. How can you give up on them?”
“I know I’m not good, but if I had a choice, why would I do that? All these years, you only have that Yan Mian in your heart. When have you ever looked at me twice? If you want my life, just take it. Why do you have to erase my children?”
Tears streamed down Zhou Wenjing’s face as she complained bitterly.
Sun Yangxin reacted. He looked at Zhou Wenjing and hurriedly said, “The children are fine. You’re confused. Have you forgotten? Xiaolu delivered the children for you. Calm down and think about it.”
Zhou Wenjing was confused and forgot that Su Xiaolu had helped her deliver the baby.
Seeing that she didn’t believe him, Sun Yangxin immediately asked the maidservant to bring the children in.
Zhou Wenjing was stunned for a few seconds before she gradually calmed down. Slowly, she remembered. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Sun Yangxin’s expression.
The maidservant carried the two children in for Zhou Wenjing to see.
“A boy and a daughter. The son is the older brother and the girl is the younger sister. The younger sister was supposed to be born first. Her feet came out first. After the birth position was reversed, she became the younger sister.”
Sun Yangxin explained softly.
Zhou Wenjing was somewhat anxious. “Help me up.”
Sun Yangxin went forward and scooped Zhou Wenjing up with the crook of his arm.
Zhou Wenjing was taken aback. She had an indescribable feeling of grievance and disbelief.
After Sun Yangxin helped her sit up, she choked and said, “Thank you. I’m sorry.”
Sun Yangxin didn’t blame Zhou Wenjing for losing her composure. The pain and suffering she had gone through to give birth to these two children were still vivid in his mind. Sun Yangxin also had mixed feelings. He felt that he couldn’t compensate Zhou Wenjing no matter what.
The two children were still wrinkled and sleeping soundly. Zhou Wenjing looked at them as tears fell. She reached out and stroked the two children’s hair. She gulped and said, “Master, thank you. If it weren’t for you, Miss Su wouldn’t have saved me.”
Zhou Wenjing felt that Su Xiaolu had saved her because of Sun Yangxin.
Sun Yangxin did not explain anything. No matter what, he should be grateful.
“Rest well. You’re very weak. The doctor has prescribed some medicine. Rest here for a few days before we go back. When you’re better, I’ll bring you to thank her.”
He had already learned that Su Xiaolu would be here for the next few days. When Zhou Wenjing was better, she should thank her personally.
Without Su Xiaolu, this pair of children would definitely not be able to survive.
Zhou Wenjing nodded. “Alright, I should say thank you. Is there anything wrong with my daughter’s feet?”
Zhou Wenjing was a little worried. She recalled what Su Xiaolu had said and felt worried.
“She’s fine for the time being. The doctor has seen her and said that there’s no problem. She should rest well first.”
Sun Yangxin told Zhou Wenjing what the doctor had said. Even if the girl had any sequelae, they would accept it. However, it would naturally be better if she could be healthy.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Zhou Wenjing was relieved. Looking at the two children, she felt warmth in her heart. These were her children. She had protected them and would have someone to rely on in the future.
“Eat something.”
Sun Yangxin brought over chicken soup.
Zhou Wenjing peeked in disbelief many times. She didn’t know why Sun Yangxin had become so gentle, but this was what she had dreamed of. Tears of various emotions flowed down her face.
That was good, that was good.

December 21st, a heavy snowfall.
When Su Xiaolu performed acupuncture on Zhou Zhi, she could hear the sound of snow falling outside.
Zhou Zhi had lost a lot of weight. His sickly expression made him look pitiful.
He couldn’t eat much food even if she accompanied him to eat.
Today, he did not drink a single drop of water.
Su Xiaolu was a little worried, so after taking out the needles, she kept watch. The hot porridge was already prepared. When Zhou Zhi opened his eyes, Su Xiaolu went to scoop the porridge.
Zhou Zhi’s voice was gentle. “Xiaolu, I can’t eat.”
His body hurt so much that he didn’t even want to speak. It was only because it was her that he was willing to speak.
Su Xiaolu sat down with the bowl and said calmly, “It will take 14 days to detoxify this time. Your appetite will only worsen. If you don’t eat, you’ll starve to death. If you really don’t want to live, then do me a favor and don’t let me waste my time.”
Su Xiaolu’s seriousness could not be ignored.
