Chapter 8

For the next three days, Zhao Fanghu came to Jiang Nianzi every day for acupuncture to help with detoxification.

For the first two days, the pimples were getting worse, scaring Zhao Fanghu.

Although Jiang Nianzi kept reassuring her that everything would be fine, the pimples were on her face, how could Zhao Fanghu be at ease?

She continued to apply the whitening cream, and she didn’t neglect the internal regulating supplements to improve her complexion.

On the fourth day, Zhao Fanghu got up and found that the pimples on her face seemed to be wilting, they weren’t as hard anymore.

She was stunned, it really did take three or four days to see results.

Zhao Fanghu was a little happy, she quickly applied the whitening cream again, following Jiang Nianzi’s instructions.

Jiang Nianzi had said that as long as the pimples started to wilt, she wouldn’t need to go for acupuncture detoxification anymore.

So Zhao Fanghu happily waited.

–

Jiang Nianzi was on her way to the post office, carrying a large package.

The package was prepared by Ding Hongmei, it contained some local specialties bought with the money her cousin sent. Because she came to town every day, Ding Hongmei asked her to send it.

After sending the package, Jiang Nianzi called her cousin.

Jiang Pengyu heard the soft voice on the phone and was unsure: “Are you… Zizi?”

Jiang Nianzi hummed: “Brother, it’s Zizi, Mom sent you some local specialties, pay attention to them when you get them.”

Being in the army, having family members thinking of him warmed Jiang Pengyu’s heart.

His parents and grandfather had all died in an accident.

It was his second aunt who didn’t mind him and was willing to raise him, that’s how he was able to be where he was today.

After joining the army, she often sent him things, so that he wouldn’t feel envious when he saw his comrades receiving packages.

He had always remembered this kindness.

“Second Aunt made me some delicious food again.” Jiang Pengyu said with a smile.

Jiang Nianzi said: “Yes, Mom said that when you see those specialties, you can think about home. She also asked me to remind you that it’s time for you to come back. She has already asked the matchmaker to find you several blind dates, saying that if this one doesn’t work out, there are others. Don’t worry.”

One second he was deeply touched, the next second, Jiang Pengyu’s face went numb.

His second aunt was truly his second aunt.

“If this one doesn’t work out, there are others,” was he an emperor?

This wouldn’t do.

He quickly dodged the question: “Well, Zizi, I have something to do, I’ll talk to you later.”

Jiang Nianzi was just helping Ding Hongmei convey a message, she didn’t care whether Jiang Pengyu came for a blind date or not.

Because she didn’t like blind dates either.

As soon as Jiang Pengyu hung up the phone, someone came in.

The person was tall and leggy, wearing a green military uniform, with a black wide leather belt around his waist, highlighting his slim waistline.

“Who were you talking to?” Shen Cheng casually asked.

Jiang Pengyu rubbed his hair: “Oh, never mind.”

While saying never mind, the next second, he started talking non-stop like a broken record.

“I’m telling you, Old Shen, I really want to go home. I miss my grandma, I miss my second aunt, and I miss my younger siblings, but… but as soon as I go home, I’ll be dragged to blind dates, this is really a dilemma.”

Shen Cheng couldn’t help him with this problem, because he was in the same situation.

His family’s calls to push him to marry were even going to his leader.

Under his military cap, his long, narrow eyes held the same helplessness: “The best solution is to not go back.”

“But running away isn’t the solution.” Jiang Pengyu said.

Shen Cheng felt that it was the only solution.

Speaking of this, Jiang Pengyu suddenly thought of his cousin who had just called him, and he hooked Shen Cheng’s neck.

“Old Shen, I don’t have anyone suitable, but I think there’s someone who’s perfect for you.”

Shen Cheng glanced at him, a hint of amusement in his peach blossom eyes: “You haven’t even wiped your own ass clean, and you want to meddle in my affairs?”

His low, seductive voice seemed to come from his chest, with a hint of allure.

Jiang Pengyu clicked his tongue: “It’s not like I just happened to find someone suitable for you, right? You like freedom, you don’t like being restrained, and you’re strong-willed. I have a sister, although she’s a bit chubby, a bit short, and a bit dark, but she’s very well-behaved, suitable to be a wife, especially to be your wife.”

Shen Cheng only gave him one word –

“Scram.”

“Hey, are you rejecting my sister?” Jiang Pengyu was not happy, he was about to argue with him.

Shen Cheng was annoyed by his chatter, and stopped him with one sentence: “If you keep talking, I’ll introduce you to a whole bunch of them.”

Okay, Jiang Pengyu shut up.

He obediently fell silent.

Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to yourself, he suddenly understood this principle.

Seeing him shut up, Shen Cheng chuckled, introduce him to a partner?

He’d rather be on the battlefield killing enemies than spend that time looking for a partner.

–

A week later, Zhao Fanghu came to the clinic.

When she came, she deliberately wore a hat with curtains.

As soon as she came in, she shouted: “Is Doctor Jiang here?”

Hearing this, the old man laughed and shouted to Jiang Nianzi, who was dispensing medicine in the back: “Girl, someone’s looking for you.”

“Okay, I’m coming.”

Jiang Nianzi walked to the screen behind the patient’s consultation area.

Seeing Zhao Fanghu covering herself up completely, Jiang Nianzi was startled, thinking something had happened.

After three days of acupuncture, Zhao Fanghu hadn’t been to the clinic again.

Jiang Nianzi’s heart was pounding, she suspected that there might be a problem with the proportions of the whitening cream she had made.

“Miss Zhao, don’t panic, first lift the curtain so I can see.”

“Hey, surprise.” Zhao Fanghu “whoosh” lifted the hat.

Seeing Zhao Fanghu’s skin which was clearly several shades fairer, Jiang Nianzi was stunned.

Zhao Fanghu happily said: “Doctor Jiang, you’re a real miracle doctor, you’re amazing. You said it would take three or four days to detoxify, and it really started to recover slowly after three or four days.”

At first, there were many pimples on her face, they looked red, and so Zhao Fanghu couldn’t feel any change in her skin color.

Until most of the pimples had disappeared, she realized that her skin was much fairer than before.

And she could clearly feel that the areas where there were no pimples, her skin had become smoother.

This made her very happy, at this rate, by the time all the pimples disappeared, her skin would definitely become even better.

Seeing Zhao Fanghu’s facial condition, Jiang Nianzi breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s good that it’s recovering, you’ll definitely become even more beautiful in the future.”

“Hmm.” Zhao Fanghu believed that.

She didn’t know if it was because she hadn’t seen Jiang Nianzi for several days, but Zhao Fanghu suddenly felt that Jiang Nianzi seemed to have become fairer.

The change wasn’t very big, but she wasn’t as dark as before.

She immediately asked the question in her mind.

Jiang Nianzi touched her face, her eyes more confused than hers: “Is that so?”

She had been exercising every day recently, both to sculpt her body and to speed up her metabolism. And during this time, whenever she went outside, she would cover herself up completely with a hat and mask with curtains.

It was probably because she was used to it, and the change wasn’t very big, so she didn’t notice.
