Chapter 144: Revisiting the Past

When they left the hospital, Du Yingzhe saw that they both looked a little disappointed, so he tried to persuade them, "It's okay if you're not pregnant. You didn't prepare for pregnancy scientifically."

"Ningning's physical condition is a little weak, so she needs to take good care of her body before considering this issue."

He Chi sent a message to Teacher Lin, "Mom said her colleague recommended an old Chinese doctor to us and asked us to go over and take a look."

"The doctor just told you to take good care of yourself."

Jiang Yining had a physical examination this semester and did not undergo any other examinations just now.

The doctor just told her to rest well and consider getting checked out if her period is still irregular in a few days.

Jiang Yining looked at Du Yingzhe and said, "Cousin, shall we take you home first?"

"I'll take a taxi back, Ningning, don't think too much."

After a night of anticipation last night, she felt a little disappointed, but she didn't think too much about it.

Jiang Yining smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry."

She glanced at He Chi, who was calling the driver to come over. Du Yingzhe understood immediately and smiled, "Then you comfort him well. I'm leaving first."

He Chi didn't sleep all night last night. Instead of driving himself, he asked the company driver to come over. He asked, "What do you want to comfort me?"

Jiang Yining asked him, "Are you disappointed that you're not pregnant?"

"Not really."

He Chi took Jiang Yining's hand and walked out together. "I do feel a little regretful. I was thinking last night that if we unexpectedly had a child, it would be a surprise from God for us."

"If not, then it's not fate yet."

The two first went to Dr. Ge, who was introduced by Teacher Lin’s colleague.

There were quite a few people coming to see the doctor, and they waited for an hour before it was their turn.

Dr. Ge looked to be over 70 years old. When he took the patient's pulse, he was very serious and there was no expression on his face.

Jiang Yining felt a little uneasy.

He asked Jiang Yining about some situations, glanced at He Chi who was standing next to Jiang Yining, and said, "Young man, you should take care of your wife's health."

"Exercise more when you get back, reduce sexual activity in the next few months, and eat some warming and nourishing medicinal food. It's nothing serious, don't worry."

He prescribed a tonic medicine for Jiang Yining.

Even though He Chi has always been shameless, he felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

Jiang Yining was even worse. There were a bunch of people around her. She had expected a lot of things, but she didn't expect it to be because of this.

Her face was almost flushed. She took the prescription and ran away without waiting for He Chi to pay.

Since his birthday, it has become more frequent.

The two stood on the street. He Chi coughed lightly and showed his phone to Jiang Yining. "It's my mom's call. Do you want to answer it or not?"

Jiang Yining looked at He Chi, then at the vibrating phone in his hand, "Answer it, so they won't worry."

"So what do you say? Should you just say it directly or try to find an excuse to get away with it?"

The heat on Jiang Yining's face hadn't dissipated yet, and she was also worried, "I definitely can't tell my parents directly, it would be so embarrassing."

She pushed the matter to He Chi, "I don't care, the biggest responsibility for this is on you, you have to find a way to solve it yourself."

He Chi also knew that he had gone too far this time. He still had the mind to tease her and raised his lips, "Wife, don't you enjoy it too?"

This is the old city area, with people coming and going. Passersby obviously heard what he said just now.

Jiang Yining glared at He Chi angrily, and the temperature on her face finally cooled down. At this moment, her clear face was stained with a layer of crimson again.

After taking a mask from her bag and putting it on, Jiang Yining ignored He Chi and ran back to the car.

He Chi didn't receive Teacher Lin's call just now, so he called back, "Mom, Yining is fine, don't worry."

Teacher Lin asked, "What did Doctor Ge say?"

He Chi made up a story with a guilty conscience, "She just... said she was a little weak and needed some nourishment. It's really nothing. I'm busy right now, so I'm hanging up."

“Eh…”

He Chi hung up the phone before Teacher Lin could finish his words.

He Yuwen asked, "What did He Chi say?"

"He was hesitant and hung up on me. It was obvious he wasn't telling me the truth."

Teacher Lin was worried, so she accompanied Mrs. He to see Dr. Ge and had their contact information saved in her phone.

The more He Chi refused to tell her the truth, the more worried Teacher Lin became. After thinking it over, she decided to call and ask for clarification herself.

Jiang Yining and He Chi had dinner outside. As soon as they returned home, they received a call from Teacher Lin.

He Chi had a bad feeling in his heart. He handed the phone to Jiang Yining and said, "Honey, can you answer the phone for me?"

Jiang Yining glanced at his phone, which was like a hot potato. She pushed it back and said, "You should answer it."

He Xiaohui walked over slowly, Jiang Yining picked it up, and the man and the cat snuggled on the sofa to eavesdrop on He Chi answering the phone.

He Chi helplessly pressed the answer button, "Mom, what's going on?"

Teacher Lin asked a few questions in a relatively gentle tone at first, and then started to bring up old matters.

She dug up all the bad things He Chi had done in the past.

Jiang Yining was listening on the side. In her memory, Teacher Lin was a very gentle and amiable person who would never speak harshly to students even if they were disobedient.

This was the second time she had seen Teacher Lin scolding He Chi. The last time she saw Teacher Lin so angry was when she and He Chi got their marriage certificate.

Jiang Yining wanted to carry He Xiaohui back to the room, but He Chi grabbed her hand.

He Chi pulled her into his arms, leaned close to her ear, and whispered in a low voice, "Teacher Jiang, are you so disloyal?"

He Xiaohui wanted to run away, but Jiang Yining held him. Since that was the case, no one could hide.

Jiang Yining listened to He Chi being scolded by Teacher Lin for half an hour and still refusing to stop. She guessed that Teacher Lin already knew about it.

I guess he was too embarrassed to say anything directly to He Chi, so he brought up things that happened in the past and scolded him.

Jiang Yining got up early in the morning and felt sleepy after listening to what he said, so she simply snuggled in He Chi's arms and took a nap.

He Chi pulled the blanket next to him and covered her with it, then threw his phone aside and slept with Jiang Yining.

Teacher Lin’s throat became dry from talking.

He Yuwen poured her a glass of water and said, "Drink some water to moisten your throat before you scold me."

Teacher Lin took the cup of water and took two sips, "He Chi."

No response.

She frowned, "He Chi, are you listening to me?"

Still no one answered.

She cursed, "You little bastard!"

Teacher Lin was so angry after scolding his son that he diverted his anger.

She threw the phone to He Yuwen and said, "Look at your son, He Yuwen. You've spoiled him. He's already thirty years old, but he still doesn't take things seriously."

When Jiang Yining woke up, he found himself on the big bed in the master bedroom, with He Xiaohui sleeping beside the bed.

She got up and rubbed its back.

Regarding its name, He Chi had previously asked her if she wanted to change back to its previous name. Jiang Yining thought about it and decided to call it He Xiaohui.

Lele is its past, and He Xiaohui is its new life. It is obviously living a happier life now.

When Jiang Yining opened the door, she smelled a strong aroma of Chinese medicine. Seeing a familiar figure, she smiled and called out, "Aunt Zhang."

Seeing her come out, Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Yining is awake, just in time, let's prepare dinner."

He Chi was making Chinese medicine for her in the kitchen.

Jiang Yining pinched her nose and took a look. Thinking about taking the medicine after dinner, she felt bad.

Seeing her frown, He Chi consoled her, "It's okay. I tried it, and the taste isn't too strong. I've prepared some sugar for you."

Jiang Yining said in a humming voice, "Mom said that Doctor Ge's medical skills are very good. I plan to ask my cousin to take my uncle to see him."

"I'm free these few days. You rest at home. Du Yingzhe and I will go with you."

Jiang Yining shook his head and said, "I'll go with you."

She had originally planned to practice driving for three days during New Year's Day, but after thinking about it, she decided to wait until after the New Year.

The next morning, Jiang Yining and He Chi took Du Sheng to the Chinese medicine clinic for treatment.

Du Sheng didn't want to come here at first. He had seen many doctors over the years, and the results were always the same. The children tried to persuade him again and again, and he didn't want to disappoint them.

The Chinese medicine clinic is located in a very secluded place. Cars cannot drive in and you have to go through a small alley.

Even the pregnant Gu Xiaoyue came with them, and Jiang Yining took care of her.

He Chi helped push the wheelchair. As soon as he entered the clinic, Dr. Ge said, "Young man, it's you."

Du Sheng looked at Jiang Yining anxiously and asked, "Ningning, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that the young couple was too embarrassed to speak, the old man replied on their behalf, "It's nothing, the young lady is here to recuperate."

There were not many people in the clinic today, and the whole family was waiting nearby.

The examination was just as thorough as before. This time, Doctor Ge spent much longer feeling my uncle's pulse than she did yesterday, and her questions were very detailed, even asking about what medicines my uncle had taken before.

Ying Yun took great care of Du Sheng, recording everything and telling Dr. Ge about it one by one.

Half an hour had passed since they entered the clinic. Doctor Ge looked up at them and said, "Who of you will come with me to get some medicine?"

Du Yingzhe took a step forward and said, "I'll go."

Du Sheng understood that the old man didn't want to talk about his condition in front of him, so he said, "Doctor Ge, I can accept any result. Just tell me, there's no need to avoid me."
