I chatted casually with the old man, took his pulse again, called over Nurse Ning, and wrote a new prescription.
It just so happens to be lunchtime.
The old man ate very lightly, so Li Chu didn't eat with him and went to the cafeteria to get another meal.
After finishing the meal, I went to visit a few other leaders who were recuperating here before leaving.
On the way back to the hospital, Li Chu patted Xiao Tian on the back of his chair: "Xiao Tian, let's not go back to the hospital yet, let's go to the Normal University staff quarters."
"yes"
At the entrance of the faculty and staff quarters of the Normal University, Li Chu opened the car door and got out.
"Excuse me, could you tell me where Professor Ran from our university lives?"
The old man sitting in the guardhouse got up and came out. He looked at Li Chu, then turned to look at the jeep, and handed Li Chu a registration book.
"Please show your work ID for registration. Professor Ran's home is in the southernmost building, in the middle unit on the first floor of the west building."
"Oh, thank you so much, master!"
After registering, Li Chu opened the car door and was about to get in when a surprised voice called out to him from behind.
"Brother Li, how have you been doing?"
Li Chu turned around and saw Ran Qiuye standing outside the gate of the family compound, pushing her bicycle with a look of surprise on her face.
"Hello, Teacher Ran. I just happened to have some free time today, so I came to see Yezi."
"Xiaotian, you drive in first and wait for me at her building. I'll just walk in."
After the car drove in, Ran Qiuye pushed the cart in.
"Hello, Uncle Zhang!"
"Okay, okay, Teacher Ran is off work!"
Li Chu walked to the other side of the car and walked in alongside Ran Qiuye.
"Teacher Ran, how has Yezi been lately?"
"It's much better than before, Brother Li. The medicine you prescribed is really effective. It's just that once a week... makes Yezi a little resistant to it."
How could anyone not be averse to it? Let alone a girl, even a grown man wouldn't like being given an enema.
But there's no other way. She has kidney dysfunction, and toxins can't be eliminated from her body. If they accumulate too much, it could cause serious problems.
"There's no other way, we have to do it, it's the only way right now."
The Ran family was happy about Li Chu's arrival, especially Ran Ziye, although she could no longer hold Li Chu's hand like she did when she was a child.
Looking at the girl in front of him, whose face had recovered from the swelling and who had regained her pretty appearance, Li Chu was genuinely happy for her.
However, thinking of her illness, he sighed helplessly in his heart.
Do everything you can to keep her alive.
I've already made an appointment with the surgery department, and who knows, I might find a suitable kidney donor someday.
After chatting with the Ran family for a while, Li Chu took Ye Zi's pulse again and changed the prescription. As for the enema medicine, that didn't need to be changed.
Ye Zi, being a young woman, was too embarrassed to talk about enemas in front of Li Chu.
"Yezi, if you feel unwell anywhere, be sure to tell me. Don't keep it to yourself, okay?"
"Understood, Brother Li."
"Professor Ran, Ye Zi's condition can only be maintained like this for now. If she wants to recover completely, I don't have any good solutions. The only option is a kidney transplant."
"Dr. Li, I feel so much better now, thank you so much!"
"Don't mention it, we're all friends! We've been neighbors for so many years. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll come by once a month to adjust Yezi's medication as needed. If there are any problems, please remember to let me know. This is my phone number; the top is for the office, and the bottom is for home. The office call will need to be transferred."
Li Chu wrote down two phone numbers on a piece of paper and handed it to Professor Ran.
Then he stood up: "If there's nothing else, I'll head over now."
He stopped after taking two steps: "Oh right, I forgot to mention, Yezi can go to school if she wants to, but she must remember the instructions I gave her about diet and water intake, and also that she cannot engage in strenuous activity."
"Brother Li, can I go to school?"
Li Chu's words filled Ran Ziye with surprise and delight.
"Yes, but you must be careful."
Ran Ziye happily rushed into her mother's arms and cried.
Li Chu smiled slightly and walked towards the door. This girl needed to have a good cry to vent her emotions.
"Qiuye, go and see Doctor Li off."
"Okay, Dad."
At the entrance of the building, Xiao Tian saw the leader come out and drove his car over.
Li Chu turned to look at Ran Qiuye, who had followed him out: "Go back, Teacher Ran. If Yezi has any problems, let me know immediately."
He hadn't looked closely before, but now that he did, he shook his head helplessly.
He grabbed Ran Qiuye's wrist directly.
"You..." Ran Qiuye, whose hand was being grabbed, was about to say something when she looked down and realized that the person was taking her pulse.
"Teacher Ran, what do you want me to say? You're really not taking your health seriously enough."
Li Chu released Ran Qiuye's wrist, gave her a soft reprimand, walked over, opened the car door, and took out his bag from the back seat, along with a pen and notebook.
When Ran Qiuye saw Li Chu walking towards the car, she thought he was angry and didn't want to talk to her. But when she saw his next move, she realized she was wrong.
He wrote her a prescription, tore it off the page, and handed it to her.
"Get the medicine according to the prescription, and drink it for three consecutive days. The dosage may be relatively large in the first few days, which is normal. If the dosage is still large after five days, come and see me. Got it?"
How could she possibly remember it? Ran Qiuye was already standing there dumbfounded, her face flushed red, and she didn't hear a single word that followed.
Seeing her expression, Li Chu knew it was pointless to talk, so he wrote it down again on the paper and handed it to her.
Ran Qiuye just stared blankly at Li Chu's actions, not knowing whether to take it or not.
"Why be so shy?" Li Chu lamented inwardly. This stalemate couldn't go on any longer; if someone saw them, things could get complicated.
Helpless, he could only grab Ran Qiuye's wrist again, stuff the paper with the precautions written on it into her hand, and then get into the car without saying anything.
"Let's go, Xiaotian, back to the hospital."
"yes"
It wasn't until the car drove away that Ran Qiuye finally came to her senses. She looked down at the two pieces of paper in her hand, and then at her wrist, which Li Chu had grabbed earlier.
When her wrist was grabbed, her mind went blank, her heart raced, and she was completely paralyzed. Now, thinking about it, she felt incredibly regretful. It was the first time a man other than her father had grabbed her hand, and she hadn't even experienced what it felt like.
"Sigh..." He sighed softly, folded the two pieces of paper in his hand, put them in his pocket, and then turned to go home.
