Chapter 110: Chapter 81: Second Update

“The dragon vein is broken.” After examining Zhou Quan’s body and taking his pulse, Ning Youguang said.

“What is the dragon vein?” asked a doctor from the City People’s Hospital nearby.

He and his colleague were astonished to see such a young girl diagnosing illness.

“The dragon vein is a term in traditional Chinese medicine, while in Western medicine, it refers to the fracture of the spine and lumbar vertebra, along with a comminuted fracture of the right femur of the spine.”

“Yes, yes, the images we took showed similar results.” The Western doctors present were not familiar with acupuncture.

“If possible, I would like to give Zhou Quan acupuncture now. What do you think?” After finishing the diagnosis, Ning Youguang asked the school leaders and Zhou Quan’s mother.

The school leaders looked at Xia Rong, the medical team from the City People’s Hospital also looked at Xia Rong. Zhou Quan’s mother glanced at everyone, then at her son, and after a long silence, she softly said:

“I don’t understand, let’s see what the doctors and leaders have to say.”

Xia Rong took out his medical kit and handed it to his granddaughter, “Go ahead with the acupuncture, I’ll take responsibility for any issues.”

Zhou Quan didn’t speak, but during the subsequent treatment, he showed unprecedented cooperation.

Then, everyone in the ward quietly watched the young girl insert needles swiftly and steadily into Zhou Quan’s lumbar vertebra points, and along his waistyc points to the Governor Vessel to Mingmen point, Zhiyang point, bilateral Gaohuang points, bilateral Shenshu points, bilateral Taixi points, lastly the right Qichong point, right Futu point, right Wuli point, right Yinbao point…

Except for Xia Rong, no one present understood the girl’s acupuncture technique, they just saw her smooth and quick needle insertion, finishing Zhou Quan’s acupuncture in one or two minutes.

“Does it hurt?” After inserting the needles, Ning Youguang asked Zhou Quan.

“Not very painful, just a little swelling.” Zhou Quan felt the sensation of the needles on his body.

“You should rest well now, you can sleep if you like. In an hour, I’ll remove the needles.”

Zhou Quan relaxed his body and slowed his breathing.

A few minutes later, he fell asleep.

As soon as he fell asleep, the attending physician from the City People’s Hospital quietly sighed and gestured for his colleagues to leave, and the others followed them out.

Once outside, nobody went far.

The doctors from the City People’s Hospital took the opportunity to discuss Zhou Quan’s treatment plan and relevant medical issues with Xia Rong in the nearby resting area.

The school leaders observed from the side.

The school psychologist was busy observing the students in front of him, his eyes full of admiration.

“Does Ning often read books on psychology?”

“Yes.” The young girl smiled lightly.

“Which books have you read?”

“Psychological therapists like Freud, Jung, Erickson, Satya, Hai Lingge, Minuchin, etc.”

“So professional.” The school psychology teacher exclaimed.

“I’m quite interested in these.”

After chatting about psychology, Ning Youguang looked at Zhou Quan’s mom, who was silently leaning against the wall beside her, and walked over, “Auntie must be very worried about Zhou Quan recently.”

“Yes.” The initially stiff and wooden middle-aged woman sighed deeply, her eyes full of wariness.

She looked at her condition, yet still spoke gently and softly to her.

“Zhou Quan is so injured, as a mother you would definitely be most worried, auntie has worked hard recently.”

As soon as she spoke, the wariness in Zhou Quan’s mother’s eyes diminished significantly. Her eyes turned slightly red, she glanced at the school leaders, looked at the ward, and then softly said: “I haven’t done much, why hard work? Everyone else has worked hard.”

“How can you say that? Even if you don’t do anything, just accompanying Zhou Quan at the hospital every day is hard enough.”

“I haven’t done well either.” Zhou Quan’s mom slowly lowered her head, tears dripping onto the ground, “If I had done well, my son wouldn’t be like this.”

During these days under the constant counseling of the school psychologist, she wasn’t completely unmoved, but due to the severe consequences of her son’s jump from the building, she was unable to bear the price, filled with fear.

How can people living in fear have the ability to take responsibility for the mistakes they’ve made?

Ning Youguang understood, so she continued gently, “In fact, many parents don’t do well, but they don’t know.”

This woman, entangled in pain and utterly helpless, raised her head, and saw this girl with a faintly youthful face, her clear eyes falling on her, with no blame in them, only understanding.

She said, “There are countless parents in this world who love their children in the wrong way unknowingly. They want their children to excel in studies, sports, and everything, then go to a good university, get into a big company, find a suitable partner to marry, have children… But they don’t realize that by comparing with this idealized child image that doesn’t exist, they can’t see their child’s true self. They become dissatisfied with the real child, judging them, and when this judgment is accepted by the child, the child feels inferior, constantly doubting themselves, thereby losing the courage to live well… They turn love into harm.”

“It’s not that they don’t love their children, they just don’t know how to love their children. Parents who really love their children are not like this.”

“What are parents who know how to love their children like?” Zhou Quan’s mother seemed to have caught a lifeline, and asked excitedly.

“Parents who know how to love their children don’t compare their child to anyone else, they just see them as themselves, filled with joy and gratitude for their existence, accepting them unconditionally. They don’t constantly deduct points based on their idealized version during the child’s growth, but start from zero.” At this point, the young girl gently asked her, “I’m sure when Zhou Quan was still in your womb, you must have thought, I just want him to be healthy and happy, right? So, when did your expectations change?”

“Yes… When did it change?”

Zhou Quan’s mother nods softly.

After a while, the sound of her wailing echoed through the hospital corridor.

A month and a half later.

Zhou Quan practiced walking in the ward, using crutches and supported by his mother, this was his third time getting up from the bed, using his feet to walk on the ground with the aid of crutches.

His condition was improving day by day, his recovery exceeding the expectations of the entire medical team at the City People’s Hospital, and the school leaders were particularly delighted.

After taking just a few steps, he saw his junior coming over and couldn’t help expressing joy and gratitude to her.

“No need to thank me, thank yourself. It’s your desire to live well that gave you the courage to overcome the pain and stand up again.”

New Year’s was approaching, Jin City was very cold.

Ning Youguang wore a long white down jacket, gloves, and a scarf, wrapping herself like a bear.

These days, every morning, she was sent by the school’s car to the hospital to give Zhou Quan acupuncture, and for the classes she missed due to treating him, the school arranged the best teachers to tutor her individually.

On her way from school to the hospital every day, despite the cold weather and cold people, her heart was warm.

Because a withered life was continuously rejuvenating with new vitality.

More than an hour later.

While packing her medical kit, Ning Youguang smiled and said to Zhou Quan leaning against the hospital bed:

“Today is the last time I give you acupuncture. From now on, you need to continue working with your attending physician for your rehabilitation treatment. Keep it up, hope to see you on campus soon, senior.”

“Thank you.” Zhou Quan’s eyes slightly moistened, “You’ve worked hard recently, I’ll cooperate well with the doctors for treatment, and… I’ll never do anything foolish again.”

After experiencing a brush with death and encountering a valuable mentor, he was able to be reborn.

Zhou Quan’s heart was filled with gratitude and guilt.

At this moment, Zhou Quan’s mother also cautiously asked Ning the young doctor:

“Doctor Ning, what should I do in the future so my son can get better?”

Ning Youguang smiled at this woman whose spirit was entirely different from before:

“You don’t need to do anything, whatever Zhou Quan needs, as long as you have it and give it to him, that’s enough.”

“Alright, I will remember what you’ve told me these days, and try hard to be a mom who gives him strength, not pressure.” Saying this, Zhou Quan’s mother couldn’t help but shed tears again.

During these days, every day Ning the young doctor guided her gently and patiently, she already understood that there were many wrong aspects in how she had been nurturing her son.

Despite this disaster the family went through, even though the mother and son were in pain, ultimately it was a rainbow after the storm.

She and her son will correct the wrong paths they once walked and head towards a better future.

She knows she still has many shortcomings, but she will definitely remember past lessons and learn to become a better mother.

A mother who better understands how to love her son, and can bring positive energy to him.

Just like Ning the young doctor said, “Mother and child are naturally not enemies, why trouble each other?” 1314
