The acupuncture technique used in this treatment was extremely complex and demanding, requiring intense concentration. Even the angle and force of each needle insertion were strictly regulated; the slightest deviation would greatly reduce the treatment's effectiveness.
Even Lu Miao needed to be fully focused and couldn't afford any negligence.
With each needle insertion, small beads of sweat began to form on Lu Miao's forehead.
During a brief break as she changed needles, a fair and slender hand extended a gray handkerchief, gently and swiftly wiping away the sweat from her brow.
Throughout the process, that hand would always appear at the perfect moments to gently dab away her sweat.
After the final needle was placed, Lu Miao let out a sigh of relief and turned to see Gu Shiyan. "Thank you."
She glanced at the handkerchief now dampened in his hand and reached out, saying, "I'll wash it and return it to you."
"No need."
