Chapter 9
But she didn't dare to think too much.
She felt that every time she faced Shi Ye, she always misunderstood what he meant.
She poked the beef on the plate with chopsticks and thought hard for a long time before finally realizing that steak was red meat and he should be giving her some iron in advance.
After all, tomorrow I might...
Thinking of this, she suddenly lost her appetite and felt a tightness in her chest.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Shi Ye put down his chopsticks and asked her, "Don't you have an appetite?"
Jiang Zhinian was about to nod when she suddenly felt a wave of nausea in her chest. She covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom, but she retched for a long time and nothing came out.
After Shi Ye and others came out, they handed her a glass of lemonade.
"Try drinking something sour."
The lemonade was really sour without honey.
But Jiang Zhinian still drank half a cup in one breath.
He took the remaining cup from her and asked her from a polite distance, "Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, much better, thank you."
Shi Ye turned around and put the cup on the table.
"You're almost 7 weeks pregnant now. It's normal to have some early pregnancy symptoms, but if you vomit too frequently or too strongly, you should tell me in advance."
Vomiting that is too severe can also cause harm to the mother and requires evaluation by a professional doctor.
Jiang Zhinian pulled the corner of his mouth weakly and asked him with a self-deprecating mood: "What if the child is gone, will this reaction disappear?"
Shi Ye raised his eyebrows, looked at her silently for a while, and finally nodded.
"right."
Jiang Zhinian felt like he had asked a stupid question.
Shi Ye glanced at the barely touched steak on the table and said, "If you can't eat beef, I can make you something else. How about tomato and egg noodles?"
After saying that, he went to the kitchen.
Jiang Zhinian quickly pulled him back: "No, beef will do."
She didn't want to trouble Shi Ye too much. After all, he had done enough as compensation.
This matter itself was not his fault.
…
The two finished their meal in silence when the doorbell rang.
Shi Ye was collecting the bowls and asked Jiang Zhinian to open the door.
"The iron supplement I bought should have arrived. Please take it."
Jiang Zhinian opened the door and saw a medicine delivery man standing at the door: "Hello, your... Teacher Jiang?"
The other person took off the scarf on her face and said with some surprise: "I am He Haochen's mother, Teacher Jiang, what a coincidence."
Jiang Zhinian remembered that it was the single mother who broke down and cried in the office that day.
She glanced at the kitchen and confirmed that Shi Ye was still washing dishes, then she naturally exchanged pleasantries with him: "What a coincidence! We just officially had our holiday this morning. Have you seen He Haochen's report card? He has made great progress this time, especially in Chinese. His composition is very good."
He Haochen's mother was very happy: "Thank you, Teacher Jiang. Our Chenchen came back and told me that the kids in the class are all very nice to him now. No one laughs at him anymore. Even the kid who laughed at him last time apologized to him. It's all thanks to your good teaching, Teacher."
Jiang Zhinian looked behind her and asked doubtfully, "He Haochen...is he home alone?"
"No, he's downstairs helping me watch the car, afraid someone might steal something." After saying that, she checked her phone. "Teacher Jiang, I have another order coming up. I'll bring Chenchen with me to thank you next time."
"No, it's my duty."
After Jiang Zhinian took the things and closed the door, he quickly walked to the balcony. Sure enough, there was an electric car parked downstairs, and a little boy was squatting on the ground next to the car, playing in the snow.
When his mother appeared from the stairs, the little boy happily rushed towards her. They both got on the electric car and rushed to the next order.
The electric car was getting farther and farther away, and the two figures on the car slowly turned into two small black dots in the pure white world.
But this is also a bond between two people who rely on each other.
It was a kind of happiness that she had always fantasized about but never achieved.
Shi Ye finished washing the dishes and found Jiang Zhinian standing on the balcony in a daze.
"What are you looking at?"
Jiang Zhinian didn't want him to know about the single mother, so she just told him that she was going to see the snow.
Shi Ye followed her gaze for a while.
Jiang Zhinian turned her head to look at his profile, and asked a somewhat offensive question with the courage she didn't know where she got from.
"Shi Ye, do you feel scared when you are alone?"
Shi Ye's mother died when he was in high school. This incident became a secret gossip and was circulated in the school forum for a long time.
Shi Ye leaned against the wall behind him and told her clearly: "No."
Most of the time he was busy and had no time to deal with these unfamiliar emotions.
"That's great." Jiang Zhinian was a little envious of Shi Ye's rationality.
…
After Shi Ye left, Jiang Zhinian changed into furry home clothes and curled up on the sofa alone to study the bottle of iron supplement.
As she watched, she thought of the mother who was delivering food with her child in the snow.
In fact, she really wanted to ask her just now.
Do you still regret giving birth to him?

Shi Ye is a medical student who has completed eight consecutive years of undergraduate, master's and doctoral studies. He is currently interning in the hospital with his supervisor.
After checking the room in the morning, he asked for leave from his supervisor.
As a result, I received a message from Jiang Zhinian just after I changed my clothes.
"You don't need to come over. I took medicine last night and just woke up. I'm fine."
Shi Ye frowned and found an empty stairwell to call Jiang Zhinian.
But the other party didn't.
"Why don't you wait for me to come over?"
"...because I don't think it's very convenient."
"Then I'll go over and check it out for you."
"No, you don't need to come over. I'm doing fine now. Also, you don't need to come over in the future. We're even now. Let's all...get back to our lives."
Shi Ye felt the other party's resistance to him, and his typing hand stopped.
"Got it. Contact me if you have any questions."
He put the phone back in his pocket and walked back to the ward with a cold face.
His paper was still missing some key data, and since he had already taken leave, he might as well organize the patients' medical records.
When I entered the office, I happened to meet Director Liu from the Anesthesiology Department and we greeted each other.
He grew up in the hospital, and many of the old employees in the hospital, from the director to the cafeteria auntie, know him.
"Little boy, come home this weekend and ask your Aunt Zhou to make you something delicious."
As soon as Shi Ye heard it, he knew that this was the opening remark to introduce someone to him.
He directly refused: "Uncle Liu, I have no plans to fall in love for the time being."
"Tsk, you little brat, your Aunt Zhou is introducing you to a music teacher this time, a piano teacher who's beautiful and has great temperament. If you don't go, I'll introduce you to someone else. Don't regret it later."
When Shi Ye heard the word "teacher", he felt as if a nerve was gently touched.
But he politely refused again, which made Director Liu so angry that he pointed at his nose and walked away cursing.
