"I don't know, I just have a severe stomachache," Ah Chou leaned on Grandma Chen. He followed her into the house and said faintly, "It started to hurt since... since last night."
"Then why didn't you go down the mountain to see a doctor earlier?" Grandma Chen was anxious. Her voice became louder. "It's okay for you to have a stomachache and can't walk. But what about your family? Why don't they care about your life or death? You have such a stomachache. How can they let you go down the mountain alone?"
Ah Chou hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I didn't tell him. He...he doesn't know."
"You little girl!" Grandma Chen was really angry and distressed. She helped Ah Chou into the room and put a cushion on the chair for her to sit on. She said, "Sit down first. I'll ask Qingxuan to come over. He learned medicine from a doctor when he was young. Although he is not a complete doctor, he can barely be considered a half-doctor. I'll ask him to take your pulse."
"Thank you, grandma." said Ah Chou*.
Grandma Chen was busy in the study room, and after a while, she came out with Chen Qingxuan, who was holding a small wooden box in his hand. It should be a medicine box. Sure enough, Chen Qingxuan put the box on the table and opened it, and it was full of pulse pillows, silver needles and other things.
"When did your stomach start to hurt?" Chen Qingxuan sat down next to Ah Chou. He took out the pulse-checking device and put it on the table while looking at Ah Chou's face. "What's the pain? Put your hand here."
"It started to hurt yesterday before it got dark. At first it wasn't that severe, but in the second half of the night it hurt so much that I couldn't sleep," Ah Chou whispered, placing his hand on the pulse pillow and frowning, "I don't know how to describe it, it just hurts, like a sea of pain."
Chen Qingxuan put his fingers on Achou's slender wrist. After a while, he moved his fingers away and looked at Achou with an expression as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
"What, what's wrong?" Achou pursed his lips and asked Chen Qingxuan a little timidly.
Chen Qingxuan looked at her sweaty face without saying a word. He lowered his head and put the pulse pillow into the medicine box.
"What happened?" Seeing Chen Qingxuan being silent, Grandma Chen was worried and asked in a low voice, "Qingxuan, is this girl okay?"
"Grandma, come in with me." Chen Qingxuan didn't answer, but went straight into the study carrying the medicine box.
"...Oh, okay." Grandma Chen looked at Achou with some confusion, then followed Chen Qingxuan into the study, and closed the door with a "click".
Ah Chou was sitting alone in the main hall, staring at the closed door. Her mind was blank. The first thought that came to her mind was, I must be seriously ill, I might die, I am going to die, what should Zhong Mingwei do?
Who cooked for him? Who cleaned his body? Who massaged his waist and back? Who knew that such a grown man preferred to eat candy?
From now on, who will celebrate Zhong Mingwei’s birthday, and who will be willing to spend the time and effort to roll longevity noodles for him?
He is a person who keeps everything to himself, so who would know that his heart is so soft, so fragile and so in need of care?
…
"Girl, why are you crying?" Grandma Chen pushed the door open and came out, and saw Ah Chou's tears falling down. Her face, which was originally sweaty, was now wet beyond recognition, and her eyes were frighteningly red. Grandma Chen hurried over and held Ah Chou's hand and said, "Girl, don't let your imagination run wild. It's nothing! It's really nothing!"
Ah Chou was still sobbing. He no longer felt the pain in his stomach. His heart was aching so much that he didn't care about anything else.
"Girl, it's really okay! You're just having a fever." Grandma Chen was busy explaining to her.
"Fa...Fa Shen?" Ah Chou was startled, staring at Grandma Chen with his red eyes, "What is Fa Shen?"
"You don't know? No one in your family has ever told you?" Grandma Chen frowned, finding it incredible. She then asked, "Girl, how old are you?"
