Sang Tianen was confused by his words and didn't understand what he meant by "not bad". But when he thought about it carefully, the other party was a patient, so it was normal for him to speak without logic.
Grandpa stopped talking after asking the question. The atmosphere became silent. The woman with glasses and a serious face suddenly said, "Xiao Sang, stretch out your hand so I can see it."
Sang Tianen was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. Could someone tell her what was going on? Why did she reach out?
"Third sister, this is Xiaosang's first time here, so there's no need for that." Father Yan showed an embarrassed look on his face and stroked his hair uncomfortably.
"I noticed her lips were pale and she had dark circles under her eyes, so I wanted to check her pulse. Is it wrong for me to care about her health?" Yan Zheng's aunt said with a hint of dissatisfaction. "If I hadn't checked on Ah Zhao's ex-girlfriend last time, she would have had nowhere to cry in the end."
"Can you please not bring this up?" a young man grumbled in dissatisfaction. "This is the first time my cousin has brought his girlfriend home, so let's not talk about this."
Sang Tianen stared at everyone blankly, her expression like an idiot. Yan Zheng, who was standing beside her, gently held her hand and whispered, "This is my third aunt, a doctor at the Chinese Medicine Hospital. Go and take a look at her."
Sang Tianen hesitated for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and walked up to his third aunt. A woman next to him stood up and said, "Xiao Sang, sit here."
Sang Tianen sat down in the seat that the woman had just vacated, looking a little nervous, and stretched out his right hand.
Third Aunt placed a few fingers on Sang Tianen's pulse without saying anything. After a moment, she said in a deep voice, "Left hand."
Sang Tianen obediently stretched out his left hand, and Third Aunt continued to take his pulse in silence. As she took the pulse, her thick black eyebrows suddenly frowned, and her mouth pouted habitually.
Sang Tianen's heart skipped a beat. He widened his eyes and asked timidly, "Third, Third Aunt, I..."
"Why is your heart beating so fast?" Before Sang Tianen could finish his words, he was interrupted by his third aunt. Sang Tianen quickly closed his mouth and adjusted his breathing.
"Stick out your tongue and let me see it." After taking the pulse, Third Aunt's face became more serious.
Sang Tianen was frightened by her appearance. He immediately stuck out his tongue and held his breath, his heart beating uncontrollably.
"How's your sleep lately?" asked the third aunt.
"I didn't sleep very well. I felt a little sleep-deprived." Sang Tianen replied honestly.
"Too much pressure at work?" Third Aunt stared at her and said.
"No, it's just..." Sang Tianen was embarrassed to say it because Yan Zheng was sleeping next to her. The two of them had only been together for a few days, and she had not yet fully adapted to the sudden appearance of someone next to her.
Third Aunt didn't ask any more questions, but pursed her lips and said, "Did you ever feel overwhelmed when you were together?"
Sang Tianen was stunned for a moment, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. Just when she was about to open her mouth to ask, Yan's father suddenly coughed violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs. The other relatives did not react much, and even kept looking at her.
Yan Zheng's face also turned red, and he called out in embarrassment: "Third Aunt!"
Third Aunt glanced at Yan Zheng, but said to Sang Tianen: "You are young, you must take good care of yourself. You should do things within your ability. I will prescribe a prescription for you. Go to the pharmacy and get some medicine."
Then he stood up and went to find paper and pen.
"Oh, Xiao Sang, you must be thirsty. Come here, uncle will pour you some tea." Father Yan stood up to add water for Sang Tianen.
Sang Tianen was still in a daze, and said awkwardly, "Uncle, you're too polite. I'm not thirsty. You don't have to bother me." He was still thinking about what his third aunt meant by what she had just said.
"Cousin, you have a lot of dampness. Let me cup you. I guarantee you'll feel refreshed." A short-haired girl interrupted with a smile, "Your skin is so white, it would be a shame not to cup it."
“…”Are you a devil?
Sang Tianen suddenly had a very bad feeling, like a pure and innocent lamb falling into a wolf's den. She subconsciously looked at Yan Zheng, and the man gave her a reassuring smile.
Sure enough, the next second, another young woman whispered to her, "I'm sorry. Although I know this may offend you, I still want to remind you that you have a cavity. I suggest you see a dentist for a checkup."
“…”
In the following time, Sang Tianen finally experienced what it meant to live every day like a year. The relatives of Yan Zheng's family examined her body almost inside and out, especially her little cousin who kept pestering her to give her cupping.
She originally thought that Yan Zheng's family would ask more about her work and family conditions, but in the end, they didn't ask a single question. Instead, they kept studying her body. Later, she couldn't stand it anymore and made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
Yan Zheng still had some conscience and took her to find a toilet. After using the toilet, she told her father that she wanted to walk around the garden. The old man waved his hand and let her go.
The two of them strolled under the shade of trees. Sang Tianen glanced behind him to make sure his cousin hadn't caught up with him. Then he asked with lingering fear, "Is your cousin a cupping enthusiast?"
"You have a lot of dampness, it would be good to pull it out. My cousin is very skilled." Yan Zheng blinked his eyes and said with a very innocent look.
Sang Tianen teased him: "Why do I feel like you're gloating?"
Yan Zheng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I've never seen you like this before, pitiful and helpless, like a lost lamb, so lovable."
Sang Tianen reached out to hug his waist and said stickyly, "Brother Yan didn't save me just now. Your third aunt actually said that I have kidney deficiency. Aren't you the one who has the most say in whether I have kidney deficiency or not?"
This person started to act frivolously again. Yan Zheng quickly glanced at Shi Zhou and said with a red face, "Can you please be more serious? The elders are here."
"My spirit has suffered a huge trauma and needs to be repaired. Being unruly is also a way of self-repair." Sang Tianen said dissatisfiedly, "Otherwise I will go crazy."
Yan Zheng knew he was in the wrong and apologized, "I'm sorry, my family has always been like this. They don't mean any harm. Can I apologize to you on their behalf?"
Sang Tianen was not really angry, she was just a little uncomfortable. In the past, there was always a doctor surrounding her and the patients, but she didn't expect that this time she would be surrounded by doctors.
"Are all the members of your family studying medicine except you?" she asked curiously.
"No, there are also some who learn other things, but most of them are engaged in this work." Yan Zheng explained, "Our Yan family's ancestors were court physicians who treated the empress, and the descendants are basically engaged in work in this field."
