On a snowy night when she was eighteen, the grand gate opened before her. An aged voice rang out above her: "From now on, he is your uncle." A noble and benevolent man then knelt before her...
Chapter 44 Treatment
Shen Yuehuai stayed in the hall for nearly an hour, and this hour was boring for Shen Sangsang.
He saw the boredom in her eyes. Originally, this sutra discussion was supposed to last until twelve o'clock, so Shen Yuehuai closed the sutra book and said to the host, "Let's stop here for today."
Abbot Wang glanced at the time and was a little surprised that the temple had ended so early. However, he smiled and said, "Okay, there's an event at the temple today. You can bring your wife along."
Shen Yuehuai asked with interest: "What activity?"
Shen Sangsang also looked towards Abbot Wang.
"There's a lantern festival in the evening, which is a traditional folk activity here."
Shen Yuehuai said: "Thank you."
After Abbot Wang left, Shen Yuehuai looked at the people around him and asked, "Want to go and have a look tonight?"
After yesterday night, the look in his eyes when he looked at her was much softer and more compassionate.
And Shen Sangsang could also see the changes in his eyes.
In response to his question, she deliberately remained silent and avoided his gaze.
At this time, there were only two of them left in the hall.
Shen Yuehuai saw that she seemed to be feeling uneasy because of what happened last night, and he had a slight smile on his face.
Shen Sangsang turned around and tried to leave, but his hand grabbed her wrist.
Shen Sangsang stopped in her tracks instantly. Unable to walk, she could only look down at the hand holding her wrist.
"You still won't forgive me."
His voice was soft and slow, without any hint of joking, but rather a serious inquiry.
"I have no right to forgive or not forgive."
Shen Sangsang whispered, the words were awkward.
Shen Yuehuai couldn't help but chuckled: "How can you not be qualified? You are Mrs. Shen."
Shen Sangsang turned her face away, still with an expression that showed she didn't want to look at him or pay attention to him.
Shen Yuehuai thought to himself, little girl, you seem to have a really bad temper.
He held her wrist and slowly moved his hand down.
Shen Sangsang felt his movements, she sensed what he was going to do, and she lowered her head again.
The moment she lowered her head, his hand reached down and wrapped around hers.
This action caused Shen Sangsang's face to turn to the side again. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but she did not struggle and did not move.
In response to her reaction, Shen Yuehuai, who had only loosely gripped her hand, gradually increased the strength in his hand until he completely held her hand firmly in his palm.
The servant standing outside the hall saw this scene and stood there quietly watching.
Shen Yuehuai walked forward, holding the person in his hand, and walked out of the hall.
Shen Sangsang stared at the hand holding hers in a daze.
In the first year after she came to the Shen family, he held her hand, but as she grew older, he no longer had hand contact with her.
The most intimate thing was when she was practicing calligraphy, and if the fingers on her hands were not held correctly, there would be accidental hand contact.
The rest are no more.
Unexpectedly, with the change in their identities, the way they get along will also slowly change.
Shen Sangsang followed forward, his mind in a mess.
Shen Yuehuai was in a very good mood today, and both his movements and expressions were quite relaxed.
Then the two returned to the room.
As soon as she arrived at the room, the doctor was already waiting in the room, and the moment Shen Sangsang saw the doctor, she stopped in her tracks.
Shen Yuehuai felt her stop, he turned around to look at her and said softly: "The doctor is treating your insomnia, it will be good for your sleep."
Shen Sangsang had always been resistant to the doctor's treatment, but after hearing Shen Yuehuai's words, her tense body gradually relaxed a little.
Shen Yuehuai felt the changes in her body and looked at her gently: "Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
Her insomnia is really too serious. How serious is it?
In the past two years, I have hardly had a good night's sleep every day.
She was pregnant now, and Shen Yuehuai didn't want her illness to get worse, so he let go of her hand, put it on her shoulder, and continued to lead her forward.
Shen Sangsang could only follow step by step.
Afterwards, Shen Yuehuai read in the room, and the doctor gave Shen Sangsang psychological counseling behind the screen.
The light and shadow in the room changed with time. Shen Yuehuai was flipping through a book while listening to the movements behind the screen, and occasionally there were two cicada chirps outside.
His movements in turning the pages of the book became lighter and lighter.
I don’t know how long it took, but someone came in from outside the door.
The person who came in was Xu Jie. When he saw the person sitting on the couch, he walked straight over and called out in a low voice, "Boss Shen."
After hearing Xu Jie's voice, Shen Yuehuai's hand that was turning the pages of the book stopped completely. He raised his eyes and looked at Xu Jie.
"Your elder brother, Chen Jixing, doesn't agree to the joint burial."
Shen Sangsang was behind the screen, and when she heard these words, her gaze paused slightly.
Outside the screen, Shen Yuehuai closed the book and glanced at Xu Jie, "And then?"
"There were some conflicts."
Hearing this, the person sitting on the couch raised his hand and rubbed his brow, seeming to be extremely worried about the family affairs. "I understand that my eldest brother disagrees with this matter, but it's not easy to deal with the old lady. When people get old, they like to believe in these illusory things."
"Would you please go back and mediate in Xiaozhou's case? After all, the decision of whether to bury him or not now falls squarely on your hands."
Shen Yuehuai said calmly: "I can't make the decision on this matter, so let Big Brother and the Old Madam have a good debate and come to a decision, and then we can take action."
"OK."
While chatting, Shen Yuehuai, who was sitting on the couch, felt the person behind the screen standing still. He asked, "Why are you not talking?"
Shen Sangsang came back to her senses and withdrew her gaze from the screen.
Xu Jie also stared at that direction.
Shen Yuehuai said to Xu Jie: "You go back."
After a long moment, Xu Jie nodded, but he did not leave the room. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the screen.
His eyes penetrated the screen and stared at the person behind it.
After Shen Yuehuai entered the screen, he looked at the person lying on the bed and asked, "Does your head still hurt?"
Because Shen Sangsang is currently pregnant, the doctor does not have many treatment options and can only give her transcranial magnetic resonance imaging.
This kind of physical therapy is an extremely useful treatment method for patients with depression and insomnia, and is also suitable for pregnant women.
Shen Sangsang, who was lying there, heard his concerned question, but she said nothing.
Shen Yuehuai looked at her pale face, then sat down beside the bed and asked the doctor, "How long will this treatment last?"
The doctor smiled and said, "For now, we will try one or two courses of treatment and wait for further feedback."
Shen Yuehuai never thought that the two years he was away would cause her to suffer from depression.
He urged the doctor: "No matter what, you must cure it."
The doctor knew that the host family valued the progress of treatment, so he replied: "Don't worry, I will do my best to cure Mrs. Shen."
Only then did Shen Yuehuai feel relieved.
