Meng Nianyao was ticklish, which Gu Wencheng had discovered unintentionally.
“Are you going to tell me?” If you don’t say it, I’ll tickle you.”
“No, it’s really nothing. “Meng Nianyao subconsciously moved back. She looked at Gu Wencheng and couldn’t keep her innocent expression. “I just couldn’t help but smile when I saw you. It was a happy smile.”
“Really?” Gu Wencheng raised an eyebrow.
“Really!” Meng Nianyao nodded heavily.
Gu Wencheng didn’t quite believe it, but Ping Yang called to remind him that it was almost time for the appointment. He kissed Meng Nianyao and said, “Go change your clothes. I’ll take you to the doctor.”
In the morning, Sister Wang had told Meng Nianyao that Gu Wencheng would take her to the doctor at noon.
Meng Nianyao hated taking medicine. Although she knew that her body was not very good, she still refused to take medicine and see the doctor. She looked at Gu Wencheng and her face fell. “Can I not go?”
“What do you think? It’s only Thursday today, yet you’ve already had a fever twice. Do you think I can rest assured when your body is like this?”
Meng Nianyao lowered her head. Although she still didn’t want to go to the hospital, Gu Wencheng was right. She couldn’t refute him; her body wasn’t in very good shape.
Gu Wencheng sighed and patted Meng Nianyao’s back. “Don’t worry. It’s just for a checkup. Don’t be afraid.”
“Then can I not take the medicine?” Meng Nianyao asked childishly.
Gu Wencheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He pulled a long face. “Let’s see what the doctor says. Go and change your clothes.”
It was two or three o’clock in the afternoon, and there were no cars on the road. However, it took more than forty minutes to get to the Chinese medicine clinic where Gu Wencheng had made an appointment.
The heavy snow from last night had not stopped. Meng Nianyao got out of the car and was immediately assaulted by the cold wind. She subconsciously frowned. Gu Wencheng held an umbrella for her. Afraid that she would be cold, he directly wrapped her in his arms.
Meng Nianyao hadn’t spoken to Gu Wencheng since she got in the car. She was a little angry, but his actions made her unable to get angry. The anger in her heart disappeared.
The Chinese medicine clinic was located in a courtyard house. In such gloomy weather, there were quite a number of people who came to see the doctor. Although Meng Nianyao and the others had made an appointment in advance, there were still five or six people waiting in line in front of them. Gu Wencheng pulled her to the lounge and waited. Meng Nianyao only felt a little warmer after blowing the heater for a while. Someone came over to offer them ginger tea, saying that it could prevent colds on such a cold day.
The taste of the ginger tea was so strong that Meng Nianyao didn’t even have the desire to reach out for it. Gu Wencheng picked up the ginger tea and fed it to her.
“I don’t like ginger tea.” Meng Nianyao shook her head.
“Then what do you like?” Gu Wencheng asked, but Meng Nianyao frowned and remained silent.
Gu Wencheng sighed and coaxed her. “Be good. Drink some to keep the cold away.”
Meng Nianyao glanced at Gu Wencheng and took two sips. Gu Wencheng looked at her and coaxed her to drink more than half a bowl before putting down the ginger tea. The two of them waited for about two hours before it was their turn.
The sky was a little dark now. When Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng entered, the light in the consultation room was on. The doctor was an elderly doctor with a tuft of white beard and round glasses. He looked very serious. Meng Nianyao sat down, after which he took her pulse. Meng Nianyao sat there quietly as she was told.
It was quiet in the consultation room. Only the sound of breathing could be heard. After about five minutes, the old Chinese doctor frowned and said, “The other hand.”
Meng Nianyao extended her other hand. The old Chinese doctor finished taking her pulse after about ten minutes. “How old is this lady?”
“Twenty-six.”
“A body at twenty-six is already like this? Young people nowadays…” The old Chinese doctor sighed and shook his head.
He asked a few more questions, and the more he asked, the worse his expression became. Gu Wencheng frowned. “Doctor Fang, how is it?”
Doctor Fang looked at Gu Wencheng and then at Meng Nianyao. He sighed and said, “I’ll be blunt: your wife’s health isn’t very good. She’s so young, yet her insides are all ruined. All that’s left is her outer skin, which still looks like a human. But you know, without the support of her insides, her outer appearance will soon collapse.”
Gu Wencheng’s face darkened, and he tightened his grip on Meng Nianyao’s shoulder.” Yes, I know.”
Meng Nianyao knew that her health wasn’t good, but she didn’t think it was that serious. Su Han had reminded her to take care of herself before, but she did not take it seriously. However, she did not expect her body to be in such a bad state..
