Chapter 47

Qin Yan looked at the flamboyant Du Linze with a calm expression, knowing he was intentionally making things difficult for her.

She asked back, "Can you raise both arms upward and close to the back of your ears?"

Du Linze raised both hands. Before ten seconds had passed, he felt his left arm become sore and numb. He shook his arm and asked, "Teacher Qin, what does this mean? Are you training my flexibility? This isn't a physical education class."

Qin Yan walked off the podium and said, "Take off your top!"

Du Linze was stunned and pouted. It had been so many years, and her lecherous nature hadn't changed!

He took off his hoodie, sweater, and a vest, revealing his young, strong muscles, and arrogantly lifted his chin, showing off his physique openly.

"Teacher Qin, if you covet my beauty, just say so. I'm not a stingy person."

Some girls shyly covered their eyes, while others teased about Young Master Du's good physique.

Qin Yan looked at his provocative chin and was stunned for two seconds.

It was truly a beautiful face—proud, flamboyant, and pretty, like an exquisite piece of art that made one want to admire it without giving rise to desire.

"Stand still, don't move around. You should know that the biggest taboo in acupuncture is moving."

Qin Yan opened her acupuncture bag, pulled out stainless steel filiform needles, found the acupoints, and used a technique that was both fast and accurate, using eight filiform needles.

She then walked behind him and pressed on the acupoint under his scapula.

Du Linze felt the soreness and pain of the acupoint and feigned a painful cry, "Teacher Qin, I only asked a question. Is this retaliation?"

"Student, too many conspiracy theories are bad for the kidneys." Qin Yan took out another long needle and inserted it.

"..." Du Linze glared at her in embarrassment.

How could she say a man's kidneys were bad!

"Teacher Qin, stop acting. Student Linze has studied medicine since he was a child, and his specialty is acupuncture. The little tricks you're playing aren't even worth looking at in his eyes!" Qin Shasha mocked.

"Yeah, what's the meaning of inserting a few needles like that?"

Many students didn't understand Qin Yan's operation. They didn't know if Teacher Qin was powerful, but they knew Du Linze was the most outstanding student in their grade.

Hearing Qin Shasha's words and looking at Qin Yan, they also carried disdain and contempt.

Qin Yan glanced at Qin Shasha, too lazy to refute. After waiting for five minutes, she withdrew the needles.

She said to Du Linze, "Your shoulders are uneven. Although it's very slight, you play games, sleep on your side, exert force while playing basketball, and your technique for using needles has an incorrect force point. If this continues, it will lead to frozen shoulder."

Du Linze was surprised. He was wearing clothes; how did she discover that his shoulders were uneven?

Was she observing him so carefully?

She said she didn't know him when they met, yet she was secretly paying attention to him!

He had used needles since he was a child, and his grandfather had indeed said that because his foundation wasn't solid, his force was unbalanced left and right, so he wouldn't last long.

"Now move your arm and tell me how it feels," Qin Yan said.

Du Linze rotated his arm. Not only was his arm much more relaxed, but he exaggeratedly praised, "Thank you, Teacher Qin. Teacher Qin, you are so amazing!"

Qin Yan scrutinized his expression. It seemed he still wasn't convinced. She raised her hand and grabbed the back of his neck.

"You drank an iced beverage before going to bed last night, right? Go back and use a hot water bag to compress it. Don't force yourself to show off when exercising. If you don't do neck warm-up activities, it will increase the pressure on your shoulders and neck."

"Ow..." Du Linze felt her hand as if it were pinching his "seven inches" (vital point); it was so sore, numb, and refreshing that he couldn't speak.

Seeing Du Linze change his attitude, Qin Shasha was hateful.

She had originally thought Du Linze would ridicule her, but she didn't expect him to change his face so quickly.

How could Qin Yan be so divine as to know Du Linze drank a cold drink at night? Could it be that Du Linze saw she was pretty and was deliberately cooperating with her to build up Teacher Qin's prestige?

Yes, it must be that!

Qin Yan turned and returned to the podium, asking the other students if they had any more questions.

Suddenly, a group of students raised their hands, but at this moment, the bell rang, and it was time to end the class.

If there were questions, they would have to wait until the next class.

A group of students were somewhat disappointed and walked out of the classroom one after another.

"Teacher Qin, thank you for helping me identify the problem. Let me treat you to a meal." Du Linze walked up to her and invited her with a straight face.

Qin Yan smiled, "No, I have other things to do."

"Then let me treat you to milk tea," Du Linze said unwillingly.

Qin Yan refused again, "I don't drink it."

Du Linze crossed his arms, somewhat angry.

He had taken the initiative to show her favor, and she was still putting on airs.

"Du Linze." Shi Laoshi spoke faintly. Du Linze restrained his emotions and called out politely, "Shi Laoshi."

Shi Laoshi said, "Your own skills are not refined, just a three-legged cat's kung fu, and you have the nerve to find trouble with your senior sister. I should have your grandfather come and see what a good grandson he has cultivated, being so arrogant at school!"

"Shi Laoshi," Du Linze said with a bitter little face, "Wasn't I just cooperating with Senior Sister by raising questions? I'm not a child, why tell my grandfather?"

"If you don't want your grandfather to know, you'd better be honest!"

Shi Laoshi glared at him coldly. Du Linze sighed helplessly and strode out of the classroom.

Returning to the office, Shi Laoshi spoke up and asked Qin Yan.

"Du Linze, do you still recognize him?"

Qin Yan shook her head, having no memory at all.

Shi Laoshi explained, "He is Old Du's second son. Old Man Du even took both brothers to find your grandfather. The eldest, Du Linsen, and the second, Du Linze. When you played together, you even saved their eldest's life.

Old Man Du even joked about letting you be the Du family's daughter-in-law. At your grandfather's funeral, the Du family came to talk to you; have you forgotten?"

"..." Qin Yan was still bewildered.

Since her grandmother passed away, she had been excessively sad and ill for several days, so she couldn't remember many things from the past.

As for her grandfather's funeral, how could she have cared about the Du family members she didn't know?

"It's fine if you forgot. Since you broke up with Gu He'an, I'll introduce Old Du's eldest grandson to you. The Du family is reliable, and that way I can be at ease."

"..." "That's really unnecessary!" Qin Yan quickly refused, "Let's get back to the main topic. Give me some advice on this class."

"Hmm, there are many problems."

Shi Laoshi pointed at the clothes on her body seriously, "Dress better, don't be so dowdy. And eat more; you're already thin, and you look like you have no strength when lecturing. Be colder in class, don't put on a look that's easy to bully. Scare them, and they will listen obediently."

"..." Qin Yan thought to herself that this wasn't pointing out the shortcomings of her teaching at all, but more like giving last words.

The old man was always worried that she wouldn't dress well, eat well, or live well, and would be bullied by others.

"I'm scolding you, and you're still laughing." Shi Laoshi glared at her and scolded again, "If you meet someone who climbs up your nose and onto your face, just prick them with a needle."

"Teacher, don't be in such a hurry to die." Qin Yan interrupted his words, "As for the suggestions you mentioned, I will consider them."

"..."

Shi Laoshi glared at her, all his words stuck in his throat. With a belly full of words, he didn't know where to start.

"My illness is not that easy to cure, you..."

"It's precisely because it's not easy to cure that you came to me. If it were easy, you would have gone directly to the hospital." Qin Yan retorted, telling him not to nag and to sit down; she was going to give him acupuncture now.

Before long, a knock sounded at the door. Qin Yan got up to open it.

Opening the door, she saw Lu Qianchuan outside. She raised her eyebrows in surprise. Seeing Lu Qianchuan didn't speak and even turned his head to look to the other side, she followed his gaze and saw Gu He'an with a face full of rage.

"..." What's the situation?
