Upon learning that it was just a misunderstanding, Chi Yan finally felt relieved. He stared intently at Shen Tangning with red eyes, making her feel guilty.
Now she realized what had happened. Chi Yan had mistakenly thought something had happened to her, which was why he had rushed over.
Shen Tangning's eyelashes trembled. Recalling his outburst earlier, a strange feeling swept through her. She wanted to speak up to ease the atmosphere: "Um..."
Suddenly, Chi Yan pursed his lips, leaned down, and pulled her into his arms. The force was strong, and his hard chest and arms hurt her a little.
She stared blankly at him, bumping into his shoulder and blinking slowly twice.
The force of their embrace clearly conveyed a message to her: he seemed somewhat nervous.
So Shen Tangning slowly raised her hand, wrapped it around his shoulder and patted it awkwardly twice. She whispered, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Having acted impulsively just now, Chi Yan has calmed down now. His ears unconsciously turn red. Reason tells him that he should let go, but the person in his arms is too soft, and he inexplicably doesn't want to let go.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Just then, Chi Yan's parents, who were worried about Chi Yan, also rushed over.
Mr. Chi stood outside, while Mrs. Chi led the doctor in, even considering whether to have the doctor examine her son's brain as well.
Could it be that the child is under too much pressure lately and is experiencing some kind of mental health issue?
She had just stepped inside when she was caught off guard by this scene. She gasped and, with a complicated and embarrassed expression, stopped the doctor who was about to follow her, saying, "Wait a minute."
The doctor looked puzzled: "Isn't it very urgent?"
Chi's mother picked at her fingers, her words evasive: "Actually... it's not that urgent."
Inside, Shen Tangning and Chi Yan had already separated in a flustered manner. Chi's mother coughed twice before daring to step inside.
Her gaze swept over their flushed faces, her eyes holding a rather ambiguous expression.
Chi Yan stood up to attract attention: "Let the doctor take a look first."
The doctor examined the injury and determined it wasn't that serious. In fact, medication wasn't necessary, but Chi Yan was still worried, so the doctor prescribed a liniment for sprains and bruises.
Just as the doctor was about to leave, Chi Yan stopped him, saying, "Please trouble you to take a pulse for my whole family as well."
Isn't this a bit too formal?
Mr. and Mrs. Chi exchanged glances, both feeling somewhat puzzled, but they didn't object. It was just a pulse check, nothing serious.
Shen Tangning seemed to understand something, and glanced at Chi Yan's expression:
Is he trying to confront his parents?
The doctor took their pulses as instructed. Both Chi Yan and his father were fine, but Shen Tangning was deficient in qi and blood and needed nourishment.
She herself was aware of this problem; she was particularly sensitive to cold in winter, which was caused by insufficient qi and blood.
Chi Yan earnestly asked, "Then how can we improve this problem?"
The doctor pondered for a moment and then told him some precautions, which he carefully noted down.
Watching his focused expression, Shen Tangning felt a slight stirring in her heart; she herself had never been so attentive.
When they arrived at Madam Chi's room, the doctor frowned slightly: "Madam, did you have a serious illness before?"
Mrs. Chi was taken aback, then nodded: "That's right, it happened many years ago."
The doctor then asked about some symptoms: "Do you occasionally experience palpitations, fatigue, or weakness and soreness in your limbs?"
Mrs. Chi's eyes widened: "That's right, you could even tell that?"
