Chapter 38 focuses on her.

But Qi Chenyan was not satisfied with Tan Mo's words.

"She vomited for almost ten minutes during her first bout of morning sickness. I read in the pregnancy handbook that morning sickness can get worse, especially in the early stages of pregnancy."

"Are there any methods to relieve morning sickness?"

Tan Mo's lips twitched. Brother, did he really think he was a god? He was a doctor, not a miracle worker. How could he possibly have a way to alleviate this common problem among pregnant women?

If there were a real solution, so many pregnant women wouldn't be vomiting so much in the early stages of pregnancy.

However, Tan Mo couldn't say there was no solution; he could only offer a solution from a medical perspective.

"There are ways to alleviate the symptoms, such as diet and lifestyle. If the symptoms are severe, medical intervention is the only option."

"As for diet, eat smaller, more frequent meals and choose low-fat, high-carbohydrate foods to reduce irritation to the stomach and intestines."

"Drink plenty of water, warm water or diluted honey water. These drinks contain electrolytes and can help relieve vomiting. If you vomit frequently, you can also suck on ice cubes or frozen fruit slices, which can be quite effective in the short term."

Tan Mo then mentioned a folk remedy: "Some pregnant women can stop nausea by eating ginger, lemon, or mint, but this varies from person to person."

Qi Chenyan noted them down one by one, "And what about their lifestyle habits?"

"Then you definitely need to get enough sleep, preferably take a nap in the afternoon, and when you get up in the morning, try to sit quietly for a few minutes instead of getting up all at once."

"You can do some appropriate exercise, such as walking or prenatal yoga. In particular, exercise will make the delivery process much easier if you choose to have a vaginal delivery later."

At this point, Tan Mo suddenly had a good idea.

"Actually, there's another way to make things easier for pregnant women."

Qi Chenyan followed up with the question, "What method?"

"Massage techniques can be used to relieve morning sickness, such as Neiguan, Zusanli, and Hegu acupoints. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, these three acupoints can help relieve discomfort."

Clearly, this was a rare opportunity for Qi Chenyan, who had never been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine, to encounter a blind spot in his knowledge.

Where are these three acupoints located?

Tan Mo made a gesture, "Please lie down on the sofa, sister-in-law, so I can instruct Shen Yan to give you a massage at home."

Actually, Yu Li felt that she and Qi Chenyan were not particularly familiar with each other, so she was a little uncomfortable with Qi Chenyan making her lie down and receive a massage.

But Qi Chenyan had already sat down on the sofa, clearly intending to get started.

Having no other choice, Yu Li couldn't very well refuse, so she could only lie down.

"First, press the Neiguan acupoint, which is located three finger-widths on the inside of the wrist crease, in the depression between the two tendons. Press with your thumb and massage in a circular motion for three to five minutes each time to slightly relieve soreness."

Qi Chenyan was a very smart student. Based on Tan Mo's words, he accurately found the location and began to massage in circles.

A man's fingertips are different from a woman's gentle touch; when they touch the skin, they can send shivers down your spine and make your heart race.

"How is it? Does it have a soothing effect?"

Actually, Yu Li didn't feel anything, but since Qi Chenyan cared so much, she couldn't say she didn't feel anything and disappoint him, so she nodded and said, "A little bit."

Qi Chenyan saw through her little scheme at a glance, "You only pressed it for a few seconds, can you really feel anything?"

Yu Li's face flushed slightly. "What's wrong? I said I have it, so it has it. I'm a bit sensitive, is that a problem?"

Qi Chenyan finally managed a slight smile. "Alright, everything is up to you."

Tan Mo, watching from the side, was utterly dumbfounded.

Is this still the same Qi Chenyan he knew, the leader among people since childhood, who always had a say in everything he did?

Tan Mo strongly suspects that Qi Chenyan has been possessed!

"What's next?"

Seeing that Tan Mo was staring blankly without moving, Qi Chenyan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, signaling him not to get distracted.

"The Zusanli acupoint is located in the depression on the outer side of the knee, four finger-widths below and one finger-width lateral to the anterior border of the tibia. Press vertically with your thumb, and your sister-in-law should also coordinate with slow breathing. Each session should last one to two minutes, and repeating three to five times will yield the best results."

The wrist position is fine, but the knee position is a bit ambiguous and sensitive.

Qi Chenyan started by massaging acupoints, his fingertips touching the thin, soft skin on Yu Li's knee, causing her calf to tremble slightly.

"What's wrong? Did I move too hard?"

What Yu Li wanted to say was, no, it's because your movements were too light and gentle, it tickles her!

Moreover, her heart was beating so fast that she had no doubt that if Tan Mo were to measure her heart rate again now, it would be several degrees above the normal range!

As expected of the man hailed by netizens as the "King of Poison" among humans, Yu Li felt like she was about to suffocate.

"No, it's just that you're pressing very well, and I'm getting the feel for it."

Yu Li blurted out, and Qi Chenyan was taken aback. Tan Mo, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Feeling something? Sister-in-law, what's feeling? Did Chenyan give you a good massage... Ouch!"

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Chenyan stepped on her foot and gave her a sharp look.

Tan Mo quickly shut his mouth.

It's really a sin. Usually when I'm with Qi Chenyan and the others, we're all grown men, and we joke around without any shame or remorse, without thinking there's anything wrong with it.

But in front of Yu Li, he almost said some dirty things, polluting her ears. Qi Chenyan didn't kick him to death just now, which was only because of their years of brotherhood.

Yu Li, having only heard half of what Tan Mo was saying and not yet fully understanding, looked up at him curiously when she saw Tan Mo hugging his legs. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I misspoke and accidentally bit my tongue. Sister-in-law, just pretend I didn't exist, you guys continue."

Qi Chenyan's technique became more skilled, and Yu Li even took a short nap in comfort.

Tan Mo watched from the side, clicking his tongue inwardly.

Qi Chenyan truly deserves to be the first among his brothers to find a partner. With such exceptional comprehension skills, it's no wonder he has a wife!

"I'm not feeling bad anymore. After massaging for so long, are your hands sore?"

Yu Li sat up, and just as Qi Chenyan was about to withdraw his hand, she pressed down on it and pulled it towards him.

Her hands were small; Qi Chenyan could easily wrap his hand around hers with just one.

There is a clear difference between men's and women's hands; her hands were as soft as cotton.

When Qi Chenyan massaged her knuckles with his fingertips, his fingers trembled slightly.

The words that were about to be said without getting tired were changed: "A little."

"Then I'll rub it for you too."

Yu Li had no doubts whatsoever, and felt that Qi Chenyan had worked hard for her for so long, so she should repay him.

However, after she pressed it only a couple of times, Qi Chenyan grabbed her hand instead.

"Are you really not going to throw up anymore? If you feel much better, I'll take you to work?"

Yu Li waved her hand, "No need, I can drive myself. Otherwise, it's inconvenient to go back and forth after get off work."

Qi Chenyan had already made arrangements: "It's okay, I'll drive you there in your car."

"Then how will you get to work?"

Qi Chenyan: "Just have Tan Mo see you off."

Tan Mo: ?

So he's the clown?
