Time Space: the Male Villain Has the Ability To Read Minds Chapter 93: Practicing Acupuncture

On the way home, he told Pei Tiantian the news.

Gu Rong had originally hoped to see Pei Tiantian happy.

Because Pei Tiantian had always gotten her math homework right.

Gu Rong had long noticed that Pei Tiantian’s math was no worse than his.

Unexpectedly, Pei Tiantian’s little face immediately scrunched up. “Brother Gu Rong, actually I don’t like math olympiad.”

Although Pei Tiantian’s math grades had always been okay, she didn’t really like the subject. Compared to math, she preferred physics.

So in her previous life, she had never participated in any math competitions.

“Teacher Ma said that once you win an award, you’ll get a direct admission spot. You can be admitted early in the first semester of sixth grade,”

Gu Rong wrote.

Pei Tiantian looked at this line, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her frown relaxed. “Really? Teacher Ma really said that!”

Gu Rong nodded.

“Then we don’t have to go to school in the second semester of sixth grade!”

Pei Tiantian said happily.

Gu Rong nodded again.

“Great! Brother Gu Rong, I want to go to the competition with you too!”

Pei Tiantian rubbed her hands together, eager to try.

She had only attended elementary school for a few days and already found it incredibly boring.

Elementary school classes were torture for her.

Waaah, she didn’t want to live like that anymore.

How could she easily let go of this opportunity to graduate early?

After returning home that evening, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong assigned Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu their study tasks, and then the two of them sat around the table studying the Hua Cup competition materials.

“Brother Gu Rong, Brother Gu Rong, look, the number of first prize winners is 6% of the number of finalists, so the chances of winning are very high.”

“And the prize money for first prize is 500 yuan per person, so the two of us together will have 1,000 yuan!”

Gu Rong nodded at Pei Tiantian’s words.

The two of them tacitly set the first prize as their goal.

…

Since starting school, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong’s visits to Zeng Hong’s place became every weekend.

Gu Rong, as usual, did a set of qigong exercises and ran a few laps before going to work in the pharmacy on the second floor.

Pei Tiantian, on the other hand, was in the second-floor corridor, flipping through her unfinished book, *Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture*.

“Look at the days, it’s almost been a week since school started. Is school fun?”

Zeng Hong asked Pei Tiantian while picking through the medicinal herbs on the ground.

“No, it’s not fun. Classes are so boring every day. Master, it’s much more fun here,”

Pei Tiantian said, a hint of sullenness on her face.

“You little rascal, do you really dislike school that much?”

Zeng Hong asked, somewhat puzzled.

Elementary school knowledge shouldn’t be that difficult, right?

Pei Tiantian is so precocious and intelligent, she shouldn’t be unable to keep up.

Zeng Hong was thinking of how to comfort her when he heard Pei Tiantian continue, “The main problem is that the content in the books is too simple. I can understand it without even listening to the lectures, so I always get distracted in class and feel sleepy. I can’t muster any energy all day long. It’s not as interesting as being with you.”

After saying that, Pei Tiantian sighed.

Zeng Hong: “…”

The words of comfort he wanted to say were immediately swallowed back.

There was also a needle-sticking doll in the corridor. Pei Tiantian picked up the silver needles, stared at the acupuncture points on the doll, and carefully inserted the needles.

After a while, Pei Tiantian put down the silver needles and said to Zeng Hong, “Master, I’ve almost finished reading the book, and I’ve memorized most of the acupuncture points. When can I start using acupuncture to treat people?”

Pei Tiantian was still thinking about Wang Ruizhen’s eye disease.

Although Wang Ruizhen’s eyes were only occasionally uncomfortable and not very serious, it was still better to treat it as soon as possible.

If it gets too serious, she’ll become completely blind, like in novels.

Thinking about this, Pei Tiantian felt anxious.

Zeng Hong shook his head, giving her a deep look. “It’s not enough now. Simply memorizing the acupuncture points isn’t enough. When I saw you doing acupuncture, many of the points you inserted wouldn’t have the desired therapeutic effect on a real person.”

Pei Tiantian was somewhat bewildered. “Master, I don’t understand why you say that. Did I accidentally insert the wrong acupuncture points?”

She had been learning from Zeng Hong, and she had memorized every acupuncture point and every prescription he used.

Pei Tiantian had completely imitated Zeng Hong’s every move.

For a moment, Pei Tiantian couldn’t figure out where she had gone wrong.

Zeng Hong stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, “To make acupuncture effective, the needling technique is also very important. You lack clinical experience, so you can only blindly imitate my needling techniques. But often, we select acupoints on patients based on our own experience. So, simply imitating me won’t make your needling technique mature enough.”

Pei Tiantian suddenly realized, “I understand, Master. You mean I need to practice more and develop my own set of experiences before I can truly treat patients, right?”

Zeng Hong smiled, “That’s right. Actually, you’ve learned quite quickly. Do you know how long it took your senior brother to completely memorize all these acupoints? A full three months. You only took a little over a month, which is much faster than him.”

Pei Tiantian proudly curled her lips and said sweetly, “That’s all thanks to your excellent teaching, Master.”

Zeng Hong rolled his eyes at her and reached out to pat her little head, “Little brat, so talkative at such a young age.”

In the following days, Pei Tiantian continued to attend classes at school and tutored Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu in the evenings.

September 12th arrived quickly, her 6th birthday.

It happened to be a Sunday, and Wang Ruizhen and the others prepared a lavish feast to celebrate Pei Tiantian’s birthday.

Tao Jing not only brought Pei Tiantian a large cake but also bought her a whole suitcase full of autumn and winter clothes and shoes.

Pei Tiantian was not surprised to see that the clothes were all very beautiful and the styles were the most fashionable.

She was used to it;

Tao Jing would give her all sorts of exquisite little clothes whenever she had the chance, making sure she looked her best.

Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu also gave Pei Tiantian a set of supplementary books for grades 1-6, as requested.

These were brand new books, bought from a bookstore in the city.

Pei Tiantian happily accepted the supplementary books and that evening delivered them to Pei Zihao’s room.

She also assigned Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu extra study tasks based on the supplementary books.

Pei Tiantian still remembered the helpless and shocked looks on Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu’s faces when they saw those study guides in their room.
