Lin Siyin’s face turned red when she heard his words, “Doctor, that’s not what I meant……”
Dr. He, “They are right.”
Lin Siyin: ……
Dr. He waved his hand, “Let’s draw your blood first.”
When you come to the hospital and they can’t find anything wrong with you, they usually send you to get your blood drawn first.
Lu Tong asked sarcastically, “Are you also having a ‘half off on second tube’ promotion today?”
Dr. He smiled, “That’s not necessary. If I draw a second tube of blood from your body, the director will kick me out of the hospital. Medical malpractice is no small matter.”
Qin Heng gave the order, “Qin Chu, go with Little Lu. You stay with him.”
Lu Tong was about to say that he didn’t need company when Qin Chu dragged him out.
Qin Shiwu, like a bum beetle[footnote]sb who tags along[/footnote], had been hiding at the door. When he saw his parents come out, he quickly followed them.
In the department, there were only four people left.
Dr. He smiled, “Now it’s just enough for a table of mahjong.”
Qin Heng, “Isn’t there still a little nurse too?”
Dr. He, “She is responsible for serving tea and water.”
Lin Siyin asked with concern, “Dr. He, was my son treated here last time?”
Dr. He poured some wolfberry chrysanthemum tea for them. He was very young, and his handsome, refined face, half-hidden in the mist, appeared quite enigmatic.
“What do you want to ask, madam?”
What else could there be?
Wasn’t it just the things regarding the second differentiation?
Dr. He readily told her all he knew without any reserve.
By the time Lu Tong came back from drawing blood, Dr. He had already finished the Q&A.
The parents also got all the information that Lu Tong got last time.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the deathly pale faces of Lin Siyin and Lu Zhiyan.
“Is there no other way? Except for gland removal.”
Dr. He interlaced his fingers and placed them on his chest. “Yes, let them marry. Go along with nature’s choice.”
He held up a finger and quirkily offered a solution, “I have a friend who works at a matchmaking agency……”
At this moment, Lu Tong and Qin Chu both walked in through the door.
When Lu Tong heard, he felt a strange déjà vu — — Recalling what Dr. He had previously said, he said, feeling speechless, “Isn’t your friend at the registry office? Does their department also have a sustainable work model?”
Dr. He boasted, “I have many friends. This one is from a matchmaking agency. It’s almost the same.”
“Can you turn off the wedding march?” Qin Chu said.
Dr. He smiled slightly and turned off the song, “It fit the occasion. Didn’t you think it was appropriate?”
Lu Zhiyan asked with a stern face, “What if there’s no union and no gland removal?”
Dr. He sighed, silently switched to a “Funeral March,” and said quietly, “Now this fits the occasion.”
Ah, I’ve had enough of this dog doctor.
Lu Tong thought blankly in his heart.
This time, Qin Shiwu didn’t stand at the door but sat quietly beside them.
Dr. He glanced at him twice more.
Qin Heng hesitated for a moment before asking, “Is it possible that there could be a solution abroad?”
Dr. He, “Perhaps the moon is rounder abroad, but there’s no solution there. While there are many cases discovered so far, unfortunately, there are no 100% matches. Even if there were, they wouldn’t appear in the same place within fifty years. Moreover, there are also the temporary marks. These two children have completely cut off their escape routes. This kind of coincidence of timing, location, and people isn’t something you can expect to see all at once.”
Lin Siyin said hurriedly, “Doesn’t anyone else have such a situation?”
Dr. He, “Unfortunately, no.”
Lu Zhiyan, “So there is no solution at all?”
Dr. He, “Medically, there is none.”
He paused and then said with a mysterious tone, “But there is in metaphysics. To be honest, I’m quite accomplished in fortune-telling. Or, I will do a ritual for you two. Of course, I will not charge for these kinds of medical practices that run counter to the scientific outlook on development[footnote]a guiding principle for the CCP attributed to Hu Jintao 胡錦濤｜胡锦涛, incorporated into the Constitution of the CCP in 2007[/footnote].”
Like a trick, Dr. He took out three peace blessing charms from the drawer.
“I drew it all by myself. So it’s guaranteed to work.”
Lu Tong, “Your business is quite extensive.”
Dr. He, “It’s not easy for anyone to be the breadwinner of their family. After all, I am not Mr. Qin.”
Qin Heng, “Do you know me?”
Dr. He, “Mr. Qin must be joking. I’m also an avid internet surfer netizen, so it’s not like I haven’t seen your picture. If I know you unilaterally, then that could also be considered as being acquaintances, just like how many people unilaterally call you ‘Dad.’ But let me be clear in advance: I don’t.”
Qin Chu pinched the peace blessing charm, “What is this?”
Dr. He, “Something that will bless you with health and longevity. Rest assured, although it may seem very superstitious on the surface, it is actually very scientific.”
Qin Chu opened the peace blessing charm, and there was a vaccination coupon in the bag, which was really a guarantee of health.
Dr. He said calmly, “It’s also 20% off.”
The little nurse brought up Lu Tong’s test results and looked at Qin Heng tremblingly.
She whispered, “The director heard that Mr. Qin is here and wants to meet him.”
Dr. He said, “It’s useless for you to tell me. You have to tell him.”
The little nurse said nervously, “I dare not.”
Dr. He glanced at the test results and said without even raising his eyelids a bit, “Do you think I dare?”
Little nurse: …… Not only do I think you dare, but I also think you can soar right above their heads and ride roughshod over them.
Lin Siyin asked, “Doctor, how is the situation?”
Dr. He, “It’s the same as last time. Don’t worry, he is not pregnant.”
The three parents breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s just that while Qin Heng breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a sense of loss.
Not pregnant……
Well, also, he was still so young.
He glanced at Lu Tong, and he didn’t know if it was pity or something else, but the feeling of loss only intensified.
— — He could have had a grandson.
After thinking it over, it was still Qin Chu, this bastard’s fault! He dug holes, but he didn’t do it thoroughly. Can’t go up, but can’t come down either[footnote]on the fence[/footnote]! So annoying.
Meanwhile, Qin Shiwu also breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been nervous from just then to the present, barely daring to breathe. When the results came in, he patted his chest and thought, “Good thing, good thing. He is not pregnant yet. That means my survival isn’t threatened!”
After the test results came out, Qin Heng suggested going out for dinner.
With the situation between the two children like this, they needed to sit down and have a good talk.
As soon as they left, Qin Shiwu followed.
But Dr. He suddenly called, “Qin Shiwu.”
Qin Shiwu paused.
Dr. He smiled and asked, “Does your family live in the Qiantang Yuexiawan residential complex?”
Qin Shiwu nodded. “Doctor, is there anything I can help you with?”
Dr. He smiled and said, “It’s okay. I was just surprised.“ His face grew even more mysterious among the wisps of white mist rising from the hot water, “It seems I didn’t recognize the wrong person. You survived such a serious illness; it looks like a medical miracle.”
Alarms sounded in Qin Shiwu’s heart.
— — He had no idea what terminal illness that original Qin Shiwu had!
Listening to what this strange doctor said…… He had goosebumps on his back.
Dr. He said, “Don’t be nervous. I was congratulating you.”
He handed the third peace blessing charm on the table to Qin Shiwu. Qin Shiwu looked at him with his fur prickled, like a wary kitten. It was awkward to take it, but it was awkward not to take it too.
Dr. He smiled and said, “Go ahead. They have already gone far.”
Qin Shiwu’s heart was pounding, and he rushed out of the hospital without looking back.
Just then, he ran into Lu Tong, who had returned to look for him.
Seeing him distracted, Lu Tong hurriedly asked, “What happened to you?”
Qin Shiwu barely managed to stand and dove headfirst into Lu Tong’s arms. This startled Lu Tong, and he stiffened slightly, but he didn’t feel any discomfort. He simply patted Qin Shiwu on the back.
“What happened?”
Cold sweat broke out on Qin Shiwu’s back. He lied, “I, I saw a dead body.”
Lu Tong, “It’s normal to see dead bodies in the hospital. Are you still afraid of this? I thought you were very courageous.”
Qin Shiwu grasped his clothes a little tighter.
“Have you hugged him enough?” Qin Chu pulled Qin Shiwu away. “Are you doing this on purpose? This isn’t a morgue. Where are the dead bodies?”
When Qin Shiwu saw his father, the uneasiness and fear in his heart were dispelled a lot.
In this strange time and this strange world, the only two people he felt close to were Lu Tong and Qin Chu.
After all, they were his parents. When Qin Shiwu was wronged and sad, he still couldn’t help leaning on Qin Chu’s back.
Qin Chu felt it to be weird, “Why are you so clingy today?”
Qin Shiwu muttered, “I saw it around the corner.”
Lu Tong glanced at Qin Chu, “Do you have to speak like this?”
Qin Chu was speechless, “Forget it. Have you eaten yet? Let’s go eat first. You’re just scared because you’re hungry. You’re so tall, and you’re afraid of these things? Have you read too many ghost stories?”
Qin Shiwu protested, “I didn’t read ghost stories!”
Qin Chu, “Then you must have read online novels.”
Qin Shiwu felt that the topic of online novels was a bit risky. If he continued, it would lead to time travel or rebirth. So he swallowed and didn’t dare to speak.
By Qin Heng’s car, Qu Muyao was leaning in front.
Qin Chu and she didn’t get along, but in front of Qin Heng, they didn’t argue so harshly.
“What are you doing here?”
Qu Muyao said, “I heard you made someone’s belly bigger[footnote]make someone pregnant[/footnote]?”
The corner of Qin Chu’s mouth twitched, “Looking for a fight?”
Qu Muyao, “I heard Ji Rong say this. If you want to fight, you can go fight him first.”
Qin Heng said, “Yao Yao, were there no classes today?”
He opened the car door.
Qu Muyao smiled and said, “I came to see my sister-in-law.”
Heh, now you are calling him ‘sister-in-law’ happily.
Qin Chu gritted his teeth silently: Who was the one who threatened to pursue Lu Tong before?
Qin Heng, “There is not even the first stroke of the character 八[footnote](idiom) fig. things have not even begun to take shape[/footnote]. If you say this, the other person’s parents will be upset.”
Qu Muyao glanced at the Lu family couple who were buying water not far away, “It doesn’t matter. They are so far apart, so they won’t be able to hear it.”
Lin Siyin bought water for everyone, and after distributing it, she saw Qu Muyao.
After Qin Heng introduced her, Lin Siyin nodded and then got straight to the point, “Old Qin, this is no small matter. You’ve always had your own strong views. What are your plans for this matter?”
Qin Heng hesitated for a moment.
Lu Zhiyan wasn’t familiar with him. Lin Siyin was afraid her husband would start yelling his old-fashioned line of thought, so she simply refused to let him interrupt. But judging his expression, it was very ugly.
“Do you really want my advice?” Qin Heng pondered for a moment before speaking.
Lin Siyin, “There’s no other solution right now. Should we try another hospital?”
Qin Heng shook his head, “No need. It would be the same no matter which hospital we go to. The young doctor in the department just now is the last disciple of Cheng Zhengming, a leading figure in Chinese medicine. He’s already very famous in the field at a young age. If he says no, then there’s basically no hope.”
Lin Siyin didn’t expect that shrewd little Dr. He had such a great origin. After thinking about it, she felt that maybe geniuses are just as weird.
“So what do you think?”
The conversation shifted back.
Qin Heng deliberated even longer this time. After a moment’s contemplation, he suggested, “My suggestion is for them to get engaged first.”
