After Chu Yunqi...
Chapter 13 Answers
Although Chu Yunqi has been a bit idle recently, the knowledge he has accumulated over the years is indeed real talent and knowledge, so he quickly finished his work and concentrated on studying.
The reason why he said it was learning was because he was used to the cold communication between doctors and patients abroad, and had not yet adapted to the domestic medical consultation method with humanistic care and human touch.
Of course, the most important reason is that he lived alone in Country M for seven years.
I spend the day in the laboratory and the hospital, and at night I go home to help students with their papers. I also have a lot of scientific research projects to work on, so I don't have any entertainment activities.
Actually, he didn't need to be so tired. But he just felt uncomfortable. As soon as he stopped, his mind would wander and he couldn't put anything into practice.
It was this aimless struggle that caused his life to become stagnant and devoid of any sense of reality for seven years.
In the mundane world, he is just an outsider, not a character in the play.
About a year after Chu Yunqi arrived in Country M, when Chu Mingxu was paying his electricity bill, he accidentally discovered that his family's electricity bill was far higher than the sum of all other expenses.
Chu Mingxu really couldn't understand why Chu Yunqi, a man who was away from home all day, consumed so much electricity, so he asked casually. Chu Yunqi just gave a few perfunctory responses, and he couldn't remember the specific answers.
Only Chu Yunqi knew the truth of this matter - because every time he came home, he would turn on the TV, not watching it, but just to add some sound to the house, and all the lights around the living room would be on.
These unnecessary things are turned on all night long, it would be strange if they didn't waste electricity.
Another thing that puzzled Zhou Jingzhan was why Chu Yunqi could fall asleep so quickly on the sofa and chair.
The answer to this question is also hidden in those eight years in Country M.
Over the years, Chu Yunqi hardly ever slept in the bedroom. He always fell asleep lying on the sofa in the living room listening to the sound of the TV.
As for why he didn't install a TV in the bedroom, it was simple, because he had basically no life skills and didn't know how to carry such a large TV home and install it.
It's quite ridiculous that such a young master who can't take care of himself had to endure seven years of loneliness and helplessness without any relatives.
Chu Yunqi just watched quietly, flipping through the case from time to time to pass the time. A student called him in the middle of the process, so he went out to answer the call. When he left, he glanced at the patients who had just entered - a mother and daughter with extremely high looks.
The mother was probably in her forties, but she was very well dressed, and her daughter was so beautiful that one couldn't take their eyes off her.
After finishing the call, Chu Yunqi sat back in his chair.
Zhou Jingzhan was not affected by him and handed the list to the family member as planned: "Please go and complete the formalities first. Some examinations cannot be done without complete documents."
The family member hurriedly took over: "Oh, okay, let's do it now." He was about to pull his daughter away, but was stopped by Zhou Jingzhan: "You can go by yourself, let the child stay. Xie Jingtian, you go with me."
The family member probably didn't want to trouble the doctor, so they said, "Don't bother, I can go by myself."
Zhou Jingzhan still insisted, and the family had no choice but to give up.
As soon as the two closed the door, Zhou Jingzhan took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xie Jingtian: Find a way to delay the family members and come back later.
Xie Jingtian didn't understand and replied with a question mark.
Zhou Jingzhan explained: If you have any questions, ask them separately
Silly Yang Han didn't notice anything wrong and continued to stare at Zhou Jingzhan's every move intently.
Only Chu Yunqi noticed something unusual, but he didn't say much and just listened quietly.
After the family members left, Zhou Jingzhan looked at the girl with a heavy expression and said, "Cheng Wan, right? Now that your mother has passed away, let me ask you again, do you have a boyfriend?"
Perhaps Zhou Jingzhan was too serious, Cheng Wan was a little panicked, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face: "I, I didn't..."
Zhou Jingzhan had been a doctor for so many years, and his experience told him that his guess wouldn't be wrong, so he changed the question, "Have you ever had sex before?"
Perhaps it was because the little girl was embarrassed to be asked such a question in front of two men, or perhaps it was due to deep-rooted traditional concepts, Cheng Wan's face suddenly turned red to the roots of her neck, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Why are you asking me such a question? I already said I don't have a boyfriend."
After saying that, Cheng Wan burst into tears. Zhou Jingzhan said he had a headache and pushed the keyboard to Chu Yunqi: "Heart problem, you do it."
After saying that, he drank water quietly. In the cardiothoracic surgery department, this kind of wrong appointment was not uncommon. Usually Zhou Jingzhan would tell other doctors. Today, with Chu Yunqi around, there was no need to trouble others.
Zhou Jingzhan showed him Cheng Wan's symptoms and previous medical records.
Yang Han, the only girl in the room, thoughtfully wiped Cheng Wan's tears with tissues and comforted her softly, "Okay, stop crying. Since Director Zhou asked, it must be related to your condition. Just think of it as something for your own health and tell the truth."
After Cheng Wan calmed down, Chu Yunqi spoke again, "Based on what you've described, it's possible that it could be caused by pregnancy. Only if you tell me your true situation can I make a correct judgment. If it's truly due to pregnancy, then we'll need to do a more comprehensive evaluation. You have a serious heart disease, and the results of your cardiac evaluation aren't good. More importantly, you're still a minor, so your guardian needs to be informed of your condition, including all subsequent tests and treatments."
Cheng Wan grabbed Yang Han's hand, buried her head deeply, and her tears fell on the back of Yang Han's hand. She refused to speak for a long time.
The family members would not be away for long. There were other patients waiting outside the door. Zhou Jingzhan did not have more time to calm Cheng Wan down. He repeated for the third time: "Have you ever had it? Tell the truth."
Facing the repeated questioning from the two people, Cheng Wan still lowered her head, bit her lower lip tightly, and squeezed out the word "yes" from between her teeth.
Chu Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief: "When?"
"June..." When Cheng Wan looked up again, tears were streaming down her face. She begged, "Can you please not tell my mother?"
Chu Yunqi didn't answer, but pushed the list Zhou Jingzhan had already written in front of her: "Go get checked first, and come back if you have anything else. Let Doctor Yang go with you."
Yang Han half-forced Cheng Wan to be taken for examination.
Only Zhou Jingzhan and Chu Yunqi were left in the room.
The inspection was just a formality, and both of them knew the result. They tacitly agreed not to discuss Cheng Wan's matter.
Chu Yunqi's cough did not improve despite the medicine. It kept coming one after another. Zhou Jingzhan felt distressed when he heard it. "Don't come tomorrow. Take a day off."
"Well, I won't come tomorrow. I have a class at Peking University and can't postpone it." He said, lying on the table without caring about his image: "Zhou Jingzhan." His voice was nasal.
"Hey." Zhou Jingzhan replied with a long tone: "What's wrong? Are you still having a fever?"
"I feel sick, my throat hurts, I feel dizzy, and I want to vomit."
Zhou Jingzhan pinched his earlobe and found that the temperature was still high: "It's okay, you will be fine after a good sleep. If you still have a fever tomorrow, go to the fever clinic."
The answer to his question was Chu Yunqi's cough.
This time, Zhou Jingzhan directly stuffed the water into his hand: "Why is it so difficult for you to drink some water? Drink it quickly."
Chu Yunqi obeyed.
