Chapter 152 Showing Affection
"You're only in your early twenties, and you're in great health. You don't have that many illnesses. Don't scare yourself. You're probably just too tired lately, and your emotions are a bit unstable."
She paused, then added.
"Besides, even if there is a minor problem, I'm here. We can investigate slowly, so don't worry."
After taking their numbers, the two sat down next to each other in the waiting area.
The chair is made of light gray plastic, and it feels a bit uncomfortable after sitting for a long time.
Jiang Churan kept her head down, her fingers constantly twisting the hem of her clothes, occasionally glancing up at the electronic screen hanging on the wall.
Time seemed to stretch out for an extremely long time.
Half an hour later, a steady female voice suddenly came on the radio.
"Please have Jiang Churan, number 18, come to consultation room number 3."
The sound wasn't loud, but it startled Jiang Churan.
She suddenly stood up, her body slightly stiff, and almost instinctively grabbed Song Zhiwei's arm.
At the other end of the corridor, Liang Yuwei came out of the duty room with a stack of medical records in his hand, looking down as he flipped through them.
When he heard that name on the radio, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his brow furrowed involuntarily.
Jiang Churan?
It's her again?
He looked up towards the direction of consultation room number three and saw her being half-supported and half-dragged into the room by Song Zhiwei.
He recalled the last time she went to his emergency room in the middle of the night, saying she had heart palpitations and dizziness.
All the tests came back normal; it was purely a physical reaction triggered by emotional anxiety.
He had specifically instructed her to attend her follow-up appointments on time, but what happened?
The person never came back.
Why is someone else seeing patients this time?
He silently pressed the corners of his mouth down, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, and inwardly scoffed.
She's such a troublemaker; she panics over the smallest things.
She never follows up on time, there's just no way to deal with her.
——
In consultation room number three, the doctor on duty was a middle-aged man wearing silver-rimmed glasses with the frames polished to a shine.
Although his hair was thinning, it was neatly combed, and he wore his white coat meticulously.
He had an inexplicably reassuring presence, and his tone was calm.
After completing several basic examinations, he pulled up the blood test results and ultrasound report, staring at the screen for a long time.
Finally, he slowly raised his head, his voice steady.
"No major problem. Your blood routine and liver function tests are all normal, and the ultrasound didn't reveal any organic lesions. Your nausea is most likely due to autonomic nervous system dysfunction caused by stress... However..."
He paused, his gaze falling on Jiang Churan's face.
"The possibility of early pregnancy cannot be ruled out."
Jiang Churan's eyes widened instantly, and she caught her breath.
The doctor continued, "At your age, the fast pace of life and high stress levels can easily affect your endocrine system due to emotional fluctuations. I suggest you relax first, stop overthinking, eat and sleep well. If the symptoms persist, come back for a follow-up check-up."
"Thank you, doctor."
Jiang Churan let out a long breath, and her tense shoulders finally relaxed.
As I stepped out of the consultation room, sunlight streamed in obliquely from the window at the end of the corridor.
Song Zhiwei turned her head to look at her, a smile appearing on her lips.
"Now you can rest assured, right? It's not a serious illness, just being tired and thinking too much."
Jiang Churan nodded, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her eyes darted away.
"These next few days... I'll have to trouble you to accompany me to the hospital. If... if I really am pregnant, we'll have to go to the obstetrics department to confirm."
Song Zhiwei glanced at her and deliberately put on a stern face.
"What are you talking about trouble? You're my best friend in this life. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you, let alone accompany you to the doctor."
She remembered that when she was at her lowest point, Jiang Churan pulled her out of the mire without saying a word.
At that time, her parents were divorced, and the family lost financial support, so they couldn't even pay the rent.
Jiang Churan voluntarily gave up her bed in her rented room so that she could stay there for three whole months.
Back in high school, Zhou Yunhan took away her living expenses, leaving her unable to afford even lunch and feeling dizzy from hunger.
After Jiang Churan found out, she didn't ask any more questions.
The next day, I saved the money I was going to use to buy milk tea and gave her half of it.
She even lied to her, saying she was on a diet and didn't want to drink anything sweet.
Song Zhiwei never dared to forget that affection, nor did she ever want to betray it.
"Oh, what a coincidence, we've run into each other again."
Just then, a deep, familiar voice came from behind.
The two turned around at the same time and saw Liang Yuwei leaning against the wall, wearing a crisp white coat.
He wasn't wearing a mask today, so his whole face was showing.
He has delicate features, a high nose bridge, and well-defined lips.
He asked himself, feeling that he was about to lose control of his emotions.
He was already emotionally overwhelmed by her teasing, but she continued to flirt with him as if nothing was wrong.
How could she be so heartless?
Sheng Tingzhou roared inwardly, feeling deeply hurt and insulted.
"Sheng Tingzhou, have you had dinner?"
Song Zhiwei smiled gently and said softly, "Shall we have dinner together?"
Her words carried a gentle and inviting tone, as if the previous argument had never happened.
Before Sheng Tingzhou could refuse, Song Zhiwei had already lightly taken his arm and pulled him away almost without a word.
Her movements were swift and decisive, giving Sheng Tingzhou no chance to react.
As the two walked past the hospital cafeteria, many doctors and nurses were whispering among themselves.
Their whispers were filled with curiosity and surprise.
"Did you see that? The usually arrogant Director Liu actually showed up in the cafeteria with a woman."
A young nurse couldn't help but whisper, her voice filled with surprise and disbelief.
"Yes! This girl is quite pretty!"
Another, slightly older doctor chimed in, his gaze lingering on Song Zhiwei for a long time.
"Director Liu has rejected so many women over the years, I thought he preferred men!"
A head nurse muttered under her breath, a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"I didn't expect Director Liu to like this type."
A female doctor next to her added with a light laugh, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
This wasn't Song Zhiwei's first time visiting the hospital's cafeteria.
When she and Sheng Tingzhou were interns here, they often came here to show their affection and have a meal together.
The memories from that time feel like they happened just yesterday, still so vivid.
Ordering food was a piece of cake for her. She walked skillfully to the counter, selected the dishes, and placed them one by one in front of Sheng Tingzhou.
Each dish was placed on the table as if it were her heartfelt gesture.
Sheng Tingzhou sat opposite him with his arms crossed like a lord, coldly observing everything without offering help or refusing to help.
His indifferent attitude made him seem somewhat unapproachable.
"Garlic ribs, clam chowder, and broccoli in broth are all your favorites, right?"
Song Zhiwei asked with a smile, full of enthusiasm.
Her smile was warm and sincere, as if it could melt away all indifference.
Looking at these dishes he used to love, Sheng Tingzhou could hardly remember the last time he had eaten them.
After the breakup, he deliberately gave up everything he used to like and be used to, trying to completely forget everything related to her in this way.
