However, it was as if thousands of ants were biting his legs. This feeling was indescribable and unbearable.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Linghuai’s legs began to twitch. He leaned against the couch, as if he had just been fished out of the water. Even his breathing became rapid.

However, he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.

Yu Youyao, who had been a little shy just now, couldn’t care less about his clothes. She sat beside her cousin and took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

She had underestimated the pain of the Qi rushing to his inner acupoints.

At the thought that her cousin had also suffered like this for the past 21 days, Yu Youyao’s heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, and she felt a suffocating pain.

She really felt what it meant to be in pain!

Yu Youyao felt terrible. Her eyes were sore and dry, and her nose was red, but she tried her best not to cry. She only kept comforting her cousin. “Cousin, it’s fine. It’s already past the time it takes to burn a clueless incense stick. In another incense stick, it’ll be over. Hold on for a little longer. I’ll accompany you.”

She knew that her cousin could withstand even greater pain.

Her cousin did not need her weak comfort.

However, she did not want to watch her cousin suffer helplessly. If she said something, she might be able to divert his attention. Perhaps he would not be in so much pain?

Yu Youyao thought uncertainly.

“You, why are you more nervous than me?” Zhou Linghuai was actually already

a little dazed. He tilted his head and looked at Yu Yourao, who was sitting beside him.

The little girl had grown up a little. The single conch on her head had already been combed into a bun, and her hair was divided into two buns on the top of her head. It was tied into two rings, revealing her smooth forehead. A strand of hair hung down from each side of her buns. Her black hair contrasted with her oval face that was like white jade. Her palm-sized face looked small and exquisite. She looked immortal, generous, delicate, and elegant.

On the hair ring, there was a tassel hairpin that tied her hair up. The ruby tassel pendants that had been polished into pomegranate seeds were crystal clear and pure. They swayed on her buns.

This was the hairstyle of a young girl who had yet to marry in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The positions of the hair rings were different, and their sizes varied. With different accessories, she could have different styles.

There were all kinds of people with different hair styles.

The little girl liked the Feixian buns the most because she did not need to have bangs or have hair on the back of her chest. Her hair was tied up behind her head, and she looked refreshed.

However, in fact, the unmarried women of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not like the Feixian buns.

It wasn’t that the Feixian buns weren’t beautiful. On the contrary, the buns were too beautiful. They made people stop in their tracks. Anyone who wasn’t extremely confident in their appearance wouldn’t dare to try this hairstyle.

The Feixian buns was a huge test for the shape of a woman’s face, forehead, and hairline. Very few people had such a head shape that emitted an immortal’s aura.

Their faces would be too big or small.

Their foreheads were too wide or narrow. Her forehead was wider and narrower.

Their hairlines were too high or low.

The shapes of their faces were too thin, fat, round, square, and flat…

The Feixian buns revealed true beauty. Her bangs were combed up, revealing her entire face. It was obvious at a glance if she was beautiful or ugly.

Most young ladies more or less had some unsatisfactory traits and were unwilling to try this hairstyle.

Yu Youyao had a flawless oval face, and her facial features were also delicate and generous. She was bright and elegant. After combing her hair up, she looked very beautiful.

Zhou Linghuai realized that he was staring at the little girl’s hair and thinking so much. He couldn’t help but laugh. Even the pain in his leg seemed to be bearable.

He suddenly reached out and held the little girl’s hand. “Don’t, don’t worry. I feel much better.”

The hand in her palm was soft and smooth.

Suddenly, he did not want to let go.

In the past two years, it was common for him to hold hands with Yu Youyao. Under his subtle guidance, Yu Youyao would not resist and get close to him.

However, in the past, he had always felt that since she was still young, he should be more patient and not be too unrestrained. He would offend and scare her.

Therefore, he always endured and restrained himself, often withdrawing quickly.

However, today, he was not satisfied with such close contact.

He thought that Yu Youyao was already twelve years old. In a month or so, she would be thirteen years old. There were already people who had gotten married.

He probably wouldn’t offend her!

Moreover, he was performing acupuncture at this moment. Due to a moment of pain, he had done some bold actions.

It probably wouldn’t scare her!

In the past two years, he had watched the little girl grow up day by day. Every day, he had weighed and grasped the limits of his interactions with her.

Uncle Sun only saw him deceive Yu Youyao unscrupulously.

Yu Youyao was already older and had to start to guard against men and women. She had to keep a distance from men. Bit by bit, she abandoned etiquette and rules, and even her reputation was damaged.

However, Uncle Sun did not know!

At every moment when he was with Yu Youyao, he was careful to know when to advance and when to retreat. He did not dare to cross the line when they were close.

Yu Youyao was a girl he treated as a treasure.

He did not want Yu Youyao to be hurt because of him.

Her cousin’s palms were covered in sweat. Yu Youyao only felt her heart ache. She held her cousin’s hand instead. “Don’t speak and listen to me. In the future, I’ll accompany you every day when you perform acupuncture. If you feel uncomfortable, hold my hand. I’ll tell you whatever you want to hear. The time it takes to burn three incense sticks will pass quickly…”

As she spoke, Yu Youyao felt like crying. She sniffed and resisted the urge to cry. However, her voice was also trembling and she choked. She felt terrible.

Perhaps because she had someone she trusted and liked by her side, she felt that even if she was a little weak, it was nothing.

Zhou Linghuai’s eyes blurred. “That’s really good!”

He finally understood why every time his father returned from outside in Youzhou, the first thing he did was to drag his mother back to her room and let her personally take off his clothes and armor.

The invincible King You would only take off his armor in front of the woman he loved. He would put down his tall heart wall and allow himself to become weak, ordinary, and even childish.

This was because all his armor and all the strength in his heart were for the sake of protecting the person he cared about the most.

This person could make him give up on a comfortable life. He could put on armor that weighed dozens of kilograms, pick up a bow and knife that weighed more than ten kilograms, and risk his life for her.

It could also make him put down all his weight and glory and be willing to be ordinary for her.

It could even make his injuries and pain become insignificant..
