When Tang Xili met Chen Zui's smiling eyes, she felt as if she was in another world. The last time they met was at the Expo on Wall Street.
In the blink of an eye, three or four months had passed.
"Mr. Chen." She responded politely.
Seeing her being so polite, Chen Zui quickly waved his hand and said, "It's too formal to call you Mr. Chen. Third brother's grandfather is my great uncle. You can just call me Chen Zui."
Tang Xili smiled, "Chen Zui, good afternoon."
Unexpectedly, she changed it just like that. Chen Zui was stunned, then he said "Oh", stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel and turned into the avenue.
The bodyguards squeezed into a few taxis and followed not far away.
It snowed quite a lot last night, about 10 centimeters deep, and there were many snowplows working on the road.
Yong Zhixu took off his black woolen jacket, unbuttoned his suit, grabbed Tang Xili's icy hand, put it in his arms, and warmed her hands.
"I consulted a Chinese medicine practitioner last week," he said softly. "Cold hands and feet in winter can be treated with Chinese medicine. Since you're here, why don't we go see a Chinese medicine practitioner first?"
Otherwise, you won’t have time to come later and have to put it aside.
When she heard the word "Chinese medicine", Tang Xili frowned subconsciously. A few years ago, she was sick and her private doctor who was obsessed with Chinese medicine made her vomit after drinking some Chinese medicine.
It's extremely bitter, so bitter that it makes you sick to your stomach.
"No." She shook her head and refused.
Guessing what she was resisting, the man coaxed her in a low voice, "Ask the doctor to add some sugar?"
“…”
"Yangyang, go ahead."
"That Chinese doctor is very famous, but he's old and hard to get a consultation with. I had a hard time getting an appointment."
The man pinched the soft flesh on her cheeks, begging and coaxing her, which was quite tiring.
"Okay." Tang Xili was so annoyed that she had no choice but to agree.
I should have known not to get off this plane, but got on this crappy plane.
Hearing her agreement, a smile immediately appeared on the man's handsome face, and he said to Chen Zui: "Let's go to Hua'an Hall."
"Okay." Chen Zui turned around and drove towards another street.
While waiting for the red light, he raised his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror.
Suddenly my teeth started to ache.
It's over 20 degrees Celsius in the car. It's been so long, your hand should have warmed up by now, but you still keep it in your pocket.
Those eyes seemed to be glued to Tang Xili.
Chen Zui couldn't help but think of the morning when this man got up before dawn and lined up outside the closed door of Hua'an Hall, just to get a consultation, and waited for two hours in the heavy snow.
Because the old Chinese doctor is old, he only sees ten patients every day. In the summer, many people from other places line up outside all night.
After getting the qualification to see a doctor, the man went to the mall without stopping, saying that Tang Xili must be wearing too little, so he wanted to buy her clothes and a hat.
There were a lot of coats and down jackets in the trunk, for fear that she would get cold.
That’s good, Chen Zui was very pleased, he was a caring person.
Although he didn't contribute much later, he did his best in the early stages. It's not too much for him to be the host, right?
——
Fifteen minutes later, the car drove out of Chaoyang District and stopped outside a quiet alley in Dongcheng District.
The alley was narrow and it was difficult for the car to turn, so Chen Zui stopped following.
The car door opened and a cool breeze blew over. Tang Xili put her warm hands into the furry pockets, and Yong Zhixu grabbed her arms to prevent her from slipping.
But it's not slippery at all. The snow has just stopped and hasn't frozen yet. When your feet step into the snow, it makes a crunching sound and it's not slippery at all.
Hua'an Hall is a courtyard house at the end of the alley.
The medical number obtained was only valid for that day and would become invalid after the expiration date, so Yong Zhixu coaxed and begged the person to come.
After waiting for half an hour and all the patients left, Yong Zhixu brought Tang Xili to sit down in front of the old Chinese doctor.
The old man had gray hair and a long beard. He was about 80 years old and wore a navy blue robe. He had a kind face and looked quite like an immortal.
"Little girl, put your hand on the pulse diagnosis table." The kind-hearted old man Lin said with a smile.
Tang Xili followed instructions and placed her right hand on the old pulse diagnosis machine.
The hand like a dead branch slowly placed on Tang Xili's pulse. Old Lin stroked his beard with his other hand and gently closed his eyes.
After taking the pulse for a moment, he said slowly: "Blood deficiency and coldness, it's not a serious problem, it can be adjusted with two months of medicine, but..."
Old Lin paused, his eyes moving back and forth between Tang Xili and Yong Zhixu, as if wondering about the relationship between them, whether they were husband and wife or lovers.
Should I speak frankly?
Seeing him open his eyes and frowning, Yong Zhixu's heart tightened, "Mr. Lin, just what?"
Tang Xili saw that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, and thought that she had some incurable disease. She felt uneasy at first, but then she remembered that all her enemies were dead, and it didn't matter anymore.
"Just say it directly, old man." She was very calm.
Elder Lin nodded and told her truthfully, "Your kidney yang is insufficient, your meridians are blocked, and the cold evil is stagnant. The little girl must have suffered an injury to her uterus when she was young... You may not be able to be a mother."
It means infertility.
Adding a possibility is to give the patient some comfort, but in fact, there is no hope.
Even if you try IVF in the future, it may not be successful because the intrauterine environment is not good.
After hearing his diagnosis, Tang Xili felt relieved. She thought it was something else, but it turned out to be infertility.
It doesn’t matter, she doesn’t plan to have children and doesn’t like children.
The man standing behind her felt relieved and his heart finally settled down.
I thought I had some serious illness.
In fact, she told him about this on the night of August 15th when they had sex for the first time, and told him that there was no need to wear a condom.
But he thought it better to be cautious, so he borrowed a box from the captain.
It turns out what she said was true.
It doesn't matter, having her is enough for him.
For the rest of his life, he would try his best to live, walk behind her, not let her bear the loss, and not let her be alone.
"Mr. Lin, we know. Please prescribe the medicine."
Finding that neither of them was surprised, Mr. Lin knew that they knew about it. Since they didn't ask for treatment, it seemed that they didn't care. He didn't say anything else, picked up the pen, and began to write a prescription.
Half an hour later, the two men came out of the alley. Yong Zhixu was holding a translucent bag containing twenty prescriptions of Chinese medicine.
This is a course of treatment. Take one dose every day, for a total of three courses, lasting two months.
According to Yong Zhixu's instructions, an appropriate amount of sugar was added without affecting the efficacy of the medicine.
Chen Zui lowered the car window, took the medicine, and placed it on the passenger seat. After the two got in, he asked, "Where are you going?"
Yong Zhixu said: "Go to Chaohua Academy."
Meeting the parents is a very solemn event, and some preparations must be made. It cannot be too hasty and cannot neglect her.
Tang Xili gave a different answer, "Go to Ji Group, I have business to discuss."
Chen Zui looked back at Yong Zhixu, then at Tang Xili, "Who should I listen to?"
"Of course I listen to her." Yong Zhixu glanced at him. "You got kicked in the head by a donkey, how come you're not smart anymore?"
