Chapter 19
"When you come, come in through the side door. I'll give you the card and you can go directly to the staff cafeteria." This way you can avoid passing through the outpatient building. "If I come late, you don't have to wait for me. You can eat first."
"Hmm." Jiang Zhinian poked the rice with his chopsticks, hiding his inner excitement. "Actually, the food in our school cafeteria is pretty good too. If you're free after school starts, I'll treat you to a meal."
If possible, she still wants to have lunch with Shi Ye after school starts.
In her opinion, although they are not real husband and wife, if they can eat together, it will feel like home.
This is her little selfish desire.
"Sure." Shi Ye put down his chopsticks and looked around. "Is there a scent in the house?"
"Is it the smell of perfume? I bought a bottle of orange-flavored one today." She pointed to the small bottle on the cabinet.
Today, when I came out of the supermarket, I passed by a fragrance store. The nausea I had been feeling disappeared immediately when I smelled the orange scent.
She thought it might be because the smell was very similar to her own pheromones.
Shi Ye said "hmm" and looked at the fragrance again.
He always felt that the smell he smelled seemed a bit like...
Her pheromone smell.
"Come with me."
He took Jiang Zhinian to the balcony and closed the door to the living room.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't move." Shi Ye put his hands on Jiang Zhinian's shoulders, tilted his head and gently moved closer, "Let me smell it."
Jiang Zhinian stiffened instantly.
A warm breath sprayed on the skin of her neck, making her whole body tremble slightly as if she had been hit by an electric current.
Shi Ye leaned close to the gland on the back of his neck and sniffed it several times. He was relieved only after he was sure that there was no smell.
Although current medical research shows that pregnancy does not cause pheromone leakage, he decided to look up some more information later.
"No problem..."
As soon as he loosened his hand, Jiang Zhinian's legs suddenly went weak and she almost fell. Shi Ye quickly stretched out his hands and hugged her in his arms.
"What's wrong? Are you dizzy?" During pregnancy, the body may have various minor ailments that may cause dizziness.
Jiang Zhinian's ears turned red, and she didn't know what was going on. When Shi Ye smelled her glands just now, she suddenly lost all her strength.
But she was too embarrassed to tell Shi Ye, so she could only give a perfunctory answer.
"Yes, a little..."
Shi Ye picked up the person and carried him horizontally, returned to the living room and put him on the sofa.
"Don't move, I'll do a basic checkup for you."
He specially placed a set of inspection tools at home to prepare for emergencies.
Jiang Zhinian didn't expect that a small lie would cause so much trouble. He could only quickly wave his hand and explain: "No need, I'm much better, really..."
Shi Ye stood up and looked down at her: "Lie down."
His tone was still gentle, but Jiang Zhinian inexplicably felt a sense of oppression, as if he couldn't refuse what he said.
She could only lie down obediently.
Shi Ye first took out a blood pressure monitor and then lifted up her right sleeve: "Pregnancy may cause gestational hypertension, but you don't have to worry or be nervous. I'm just doing a routine check."
Jiang Zhinian cooperated and lay still.
"It's okay, it's within normal range."
He put away the blood pressure monitor, took out the stethoscope, and covered it with his palm first.
"Sit up and turn your back to me."
Jiang Zhinian turned his back and felt the warm probe moving slowly on his back.
"My heart is beating a little fast..."
Jiang Zhinian quickly explained: "I might be a little nervous..."
Shi Ye put away his things and asked, "Are you still dizzy now?"
Jiang Zhinian quickly shook his head.
"I'll buy a blood glucose meter tonight to rule out gestational diabetes."
When Jiang Zhinian heard that she had to buy something, she worried about spending a lot of money.
After hesitating for a moment, he gently held Shi Ye's wrist.
"No need to buy it... I'm actually feeling dizzy."
A white and soft hand covered his skin. Shi Ye glanced at it and asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
The gentler Shi Ye was, the more guilty Jiang Zhinian felt. This huge burden gave her the courage to tell the truth.
"It's...you, you were too close to my glands, and I felt a little...weak in the legs."
Unexpected answer.
Shi Ye's gaze slowly moved upwards, from the fair neck to the rosy lips, and finally landed on the pair of clear eyes.
Jiang Zhinian's appearance is not the kind of bright beauty that catches your eye at first sight, but her eyes are particularly beautiful, and the drooping curve at the end of her eyes carries a kind of pure innocence.
If the eyelashes are slowly raised, ripples will appear in the watery black eyes, directly hitting the most secret desires in a man's heart.
It's a non-aggressive face, but it can make people lose their temper.
Shi Ye's gaze returned to the place where she was holding him. Jiang Zhinian felt inexplicably hot under his gaze and tried to withdraw her hand in panic.
But a pair of large hands with distinct knuckles gently clasped her wrists, and the moment the fingers closed, her hands were completely contained in the other person's hands.
"So, will you feel tired too?"
Jiang Zhinian felt a little stuffy, as if a suffocating feeling was sweeping over him, making it hard to breathe.
"Yes, a little bit...I can't breathe."
Shi Ye released his hand, took a step back, and asked again: "What about now?"
"Good, much better."
Shi Ye took a nearby dining chair, sat down, and pondered, "When you feel uncomfortable, can you smell my pheromones?"
Jiang Zhinian thought about it and shook his head: "No."
Shi Ye took out his phone and checked the time, then stood up and said, "I see. I might need to check my thesis. You should rest at home this afternoon and don't go out. Tell me what you want to eat tonight."
Jiang Zhinian blushed and huddled on the sofa, lowering her head and whispering, "Okay, I'll text you later."
After Shi Ye left, Jiang Zhinian, steaming all over, returned to the room and wrapped herself in a quilt like a spring roll.
What should I do? The more I think about it, the more ashamed I feel.
Where did I get the courage to tell Shi Ye the truth about my weak legs just now?
Help.
After lying there in despair for a while, Jiang Zhinian got up and began to hypnotize himself.
It doesn’t matter, as long as I’m not embarrassed, Shi Ye won’t notice that I’m embarrassed.
As long as he doesn't find me embarrassed, then this thing... didn't happen.
After completing his self-brainwashing, Jiang Zhinian got up and decided to go to the rooftop to dry his quilt while the weather was good.
…
Shi Ye stayed in the operating room the whole time after returning to the hospital. It was almost time to get off work before he found the chance to see the director of the gland department who was performing surgery.
Director Feng of the gland department is a big shot in the industry. After listening to Shi Ye's detailed description, he asked, "The situation you're describing actually has precedents internationally, but it's rare. It usually occurs in S-level glands."
He glanced at Shi Ye and asked, "If I remember correctly, you are S-level, right?"
