“This is amazing, huh?”
Ming Jing calmly said, “This is the Hegu Point, which belongs to the Large Intestine Meridian. Massaging this area not only promotes the recovery of gastrointestinal function but also regulates qi and blood, and enhances digestion.”
Ming Jing’s finger moved to the tip of Liu Muxue’s middle finger, gently pressing and rubbing, “This is the Laogong Point, which belongs to the Pericardium Meridian. Regular massage of this point can improve stomach function and digestion, and also has certain benefits for the heart.”
Liu Muxue raised her thumb, “You’re like a walking encyclopedia. From now on, I don’t need to bring anything when I go out, I just need you. Is there anything you don’t know?”
She could hold court and run the kitchen, was both cultured and martially skilled, good at medicine, knowledgeable about Buddha and proficient in both ancient and modern studies, an all-around top student.
“I don’t know how to flatter.”
Liu Muxue choked and glared at Ming Jing’s calm face, “Are you mocking me?”
“Look out for the car.” A sedan drove towards them, Liu Muxue, who was walking at the edge of the sidewalk, was caught off guard. Ming Jing pulled her and dragged her behind him.
Liu Muxue staggered, and just as they were turning a corner, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them and collided with Liu Muxue.
“Plop” Something fell on the ground.
It fell right beside Ming Jing’s foot.
Ming Jing bent down to pick it up. It was a finely crafted silver lock-bracelet, which was still warm from its owner’s touch. With a gentle breeze, the warmth evaporated and only the icy cold remained.
Ming Jing raised an eyebrow, her eyesight was good, and she saw two characters under the moonlight.
“Ouch.” Liu Muxue covered her forehead and cursed, “Watch where you’re going. That hurt.”
The other person was also about to curse, but suddenly realized that the object was missing from their hand and squatted down to search around on the ground.
The dim yellow light from the street lamps in the alley fell, half blocked by the walls. She reached into the shadowy grass area.
“Are you looking for this?” A melodious voice passed above her head. In the cold night, it felt like warm spring water surrounding her.
Even the chilly wind brushing past her face was not as piercing anymore.
Qin Qiuxi saw a section of a white skirt fluttering in the night breeze, as ethereal as a dream.
The silver ripple on the skirt’s hem glimmered with a faint silver light under the moonlight, like a budding lotus, casting its brilliance.
Qin Qiuxi looked up blankly and saw a slender hand extending towards her face, on which lay a silver lock-bracelet.
Qin Qiuxi hurriedly snatched the silver lock and looked up, recognizing the girl’s face. “It’s you?”
It was the girl who used to be with Mao Nana at the mall.
Qin Qiuxi quickly figured it out. Mao Nana lived in the Xidi Harbor in the south. Given the timing, it seemed she had just left Mao Nana’s house.
Liu Muxue looked back and forth between the two and asked, “You know each other?”
Ming Jing gently smiled, “We’ve met once before.”
Qin Qiuxi had no time to chat with her and glared at Liu Muxue hatefully. She grabbed her bag, and with a high heel, hurried away.
Liu Muxue sneered, “That woman has no manners! She bumped into me and didn’t even say sorry.”
Ming Jing’s lips curled with a gentle smile. He brushed his skirt and walked away.
Qin Qiuxi walked fast, while Ming Jing kept a leisurely pace. Yet he always maintained a moderate distance from Qin Qiuxi ahead.
Liu Muxue jogged to catch up, “You’ve got long legs, can you walk slower?”
In this narrow alley, there were hardly any people at night. Every dozen meters or so, there was a street light that emitted dim yellow light, illuminating the path underfoot.
Up ahead, the graceful woman seemed to be on the phone, but the other party didn’t answer. She stomped her foot in anger, accidentally stepping on a stone. The woman staggered, grabbed the wall and steadied herself.
“Shit!” The woman cursed.
They walked out of the alley, and the neon lights and hustle of the city flooded in at once. The woman hurriedly hailed a taxi and jumped in.
Ming Jing stood in the shadow by the roadside, watching the taxi merge into the traffic with his eyes gradually deepening.
“Who is that woman? When did you meet her?” Liu Muxue chased after her, panting and asking with her hands on her waist.
Ming Jing indifferently said, “We met when I went to the mall with Nana. She seems to be Nana’s friend.”
“What did she drop just now? She was clutching it like it was gold,” Liu Muxue sneered.
Ming Jing smiled and calmly continued walking along the side of the road.
