Chapter 1424: Chapter 1428: Keeping Him in Her Heart
“What about you?” Gu Junzhu looked at Qiao Zui and asked, “Does your arm feel any better after the massage?”
Qiao Zui moved his injured arm, carefully feeling it, “It seems a bit less painful… but the difference is not very obvious…”
“Don’t worry, you need to persevere,” Gu Junzhu rarely spoke to Qiao Zui in such a gentle and patient tone, “Physical therapy is like this, it’s slow to show results, and it reduces the pain a little each day. It’s hard for you to notice the changes yourself, but over ti, the effects will beco apparent.”
Before, even when his old injury wasn’t acting up, his back still felt uncomfortable.
Normally, one cannot feel exactly where their organs are located.
It is only when there’s discomfort that one becos aware of it.
Even when his old injury wasn’t flaring up, he could always feel his spine stiff, prone to fatigue, aching badly whether sitting for a long ti or standing.
But he could bear it and didn’t want to worry the people around him, so he kept silent.
But now, he only feels a slight discomfort in his back when he is extrely tired.
At other tis, he feels almost like a normal person.
When Ye Xingbei first gave him massages, he didn’t notice this change.
Because this feeling cos gradually and in stages.
It’s like when soone has a high fever of 40 degrees, and it drops to 37 degrees instantly after taking a powerful fever reducer, the change is noticeable, and one would think the dicine is very effective.
Massage, however, is like lowering a fever from 40 degrees, one day at a ti to 39.9, 39.8 degrees… It takes many slow months to return to normal temperature.
During this ti, the person hardly notices any change.
But as ti goes on, the effects beco evident.
Gu Junzhu worried that Qiao Zui lacked patience and would think massage didn’t work, thus not persevering, so he went out of his way to patiently explain the rationale to him.
It had been a long ti since Gu Junzhu had been so patient with him, and Qiao Zui was almost moved to tears.
His uncle truly cared for him like an uncle should; although he seed to disdain Qiao Zui on an ordinary basis, he still cared deeply for him when it ca to serious matters.
Qiao Zui listened intently, nodding frequently to show he rembered.
Mi Sheng listened even more seriously than he did.
After Gu Junzhu finished speaking, Mi Sheng assured him, “Uncle, rest assured, I will make sure the instructor massages daily. Once I have given birth to the baby, I will learn the technique from Ah Jue and give the instructor massages myself.”
She was pregnant now and massaging requires force. Qiao Zui was worried she would harm the baby in her womb and refused to let her learn.
Gu Junzhu nodded, “It’s good as long as you keep it in mind.”
He just feared that brat Qiao Zui would be impatient and give up on massaging after a few days.
After all, he himself hadn’t believed that massage could treat his old injuries. If it weren’t for Ye Xingbei’s persistence, he surely wouldn’t have allowed Ye Xingbei to massage him every day.
But now, facts speak louder than words.
He was virtually healed and naturally also hoped that massage could cure Qiao Zui’s old injury.
“Uncle, Aunt, thank you,” Mi Sheng looked at Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, her face full of gratitude and guilt, “Uncle, Aunt, I’m really sorry about last night… causing the uncle to suffer…”
She didn’t know what to say to express the depth of her remorse.
She knew that Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei went to the Situ family purely for her sake.
Otherwise, given the Situ family’s social status, they could never invite guests of Gu Junzhu’s stature.
“It was just an accident, nothing to do with you,” Gu Junzhu appeared nonchalant, “And it’s just a little redness on the skin, no need to make a fuss.”
