Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 17

The middle-aged man immediately fell silent and backed away obediently. This was his last hope; he couldn’t give up.

“You’re really going to let her do it—” one of the onlookers started to protest, but he quieted down after meeting the girl’s cold, unwavering gaze.

No one dared to speak up again. They just huddled closer, whispering amongst themselves, ready to watch the drama unfold. If she didn't listen to reason and something went wrong, it would serve her right.

Juniper expertly held a needle in her right hand while her left located the pressure points. With practiced ease, she inserted needles into three key points on his arm and wrist. Instantly, the bleeding from the old man’s nose and mouth stopped.

The murmuring crowd fell silent.

“Huh?” This girl actually knew what she was doing.

Given the severity of the heart attack, Juniper applied three more needles to points on his face and chest. The unconscious man’s eyes suddenly flew open, and he gasped for air.

Then, Juniper took an unlabeled bottle from her bag, shook out two small, dark pills, and placed them in his mouth. Within seconds, the old man’s breathing became steady and even, and clarity returned to his eyes.

“Master!” The middle-aged man stumbled forward, tears streaming down his face. “Are you all right?”

“Cough, cough—” The old man’s gaze fell on the beautiful, well-behaved young girl before him. He blinked in confusion, his voice hoarse. “Am I in heaven?”

He must be. Why else would he be seeing such a lovely angel?

“You were close,” Juniper said, retracting her hands once she confirmed he was stable. She looked at the middle-aged man. “Help him up, but don’t let him move around too much right now.”

“Yes, of course.” The man was overwhelmed with gratitude, bowing repeatedly to Juniper.

“Wow, she actually saved him!” The crowd erupted. “And with acupuncture! That’s amazing!”

“Her technique looks professional, but she’s wearing an Aurora High uniform…”
