Chapter 64: Jiao Ai Soup

Huai Xi's eyes carried a strong aura, full of power and majesty, making people involuntarily succumb to her gaze.

She took the clothes and walked to Pan Jiahui, saying in a low voice: "Tie it around your waist first."

Pan Jiahui's face turned red as if blood might come out. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, so she could only obey and do as she was told.

After Huai Xi had dealt with the situation, she looked sharply at the instigator and said in a bad tone, "What are you still doing here? Are you waiting for Teacher Gao to talk to you?"

The leading girl waved her hand quickly, "We're leaving right away. Don't tell Teacher Gao."

Huaixi had never caused any trouble at school, but she looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. She said coldly, "I won't say anything this time, but if I see you bullying your classmates again, I won't be so easy to talk to."

The girls breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to continue climbing the mountain. Seeing that everyone had left, Liu Min, who was standing by and watching, walked over to Pan Jiahui and asked softly, "How did you offend Shi Man and the others?"

Huai Xi frowned when he heard her words and said in a serious tone:

"Some people enjoy bullying others. It's not because others provoke them. Don't think that the victim is guilty."

Liu Min widened her eyes and waved her hands, hurriedly explaining to Pan Jiahui:
"That's not what I meant. I was wondering how unlucky you were to run into them and why you weren't with the other students."

Pan Jiahui is usually quiet in class, introverted and not talkative. She rarely interacts with other people except her deskmate. She said softly:
"I had a stomachache and couldn't walk while climbing the mountain, so I asked my deskmate to go first. Who knew I would run into Shi Man and the others..."

Huai Xi nodded slightly, "If you don't mind, come with us. There is a toilet not far ahead. Do you have sanitary napkins with you?"

Pan Jiahui was shy, and her cheeks flushed again when Huai Xi mentioned this. She said embarrassedly, "I didn't put away the backpack I changed today. I'll see if there's any in the small shop later."

Huai Xi took her backpack in her hand, took out two sanitary napkins from the small inner pocket, and said calmly: "You can use these first, I don't need them for the time being."

Pan Jiahui's eyes flickered with a strange light. She quickly took the item, put it in her pocket and hid it. She said with gratitude, "I am not worried now. Thank you so much."

Huai Xi said indifferently: "I brought this thing originally for the girls in our class to prepare for emergencies. I'm glad it can help you."

Liu Min realized it later. She covered her mouth and whispered, "Pan Jiahui, did you soil your pants during your period?"

Pan Jiahui was not so nervous at this moment, and nodded in acknowledgement generously. Liu Min frowned and said frankly: "That's not right. You came on the same day as me last time, and we bumped into each other in the toilet. It's only been ten days, how come you're here again so soon?"

Pan Jiahui didn't expect Liu Min to be so considerate. She pursed her lips in distress, not knowing whether she should tell such a private matter.

Huai Xi was very good at observing her expressions, and seeing her expression, he quickly eased the atmosphere and said:

"Let's climb the mountain first, otherwise others will reach the top while we are still halfway up the mountain."

Pan Jiahui suddenly remembered that Huaixi's mother was a Chinese medicine doctor, and Liu Min was not a gossiper. She mustered up her courage and whispered as she walked:

"I don't know what's going on. Ever since my first period, my bleeding has been irregular. Either the amount is too heavy, or it's prolonged. Anyway, I always have irregular bleeding."

Liu Min was surprised and asked: "Didn't you go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Pan Jiahui shook her head in depression, her voice choked with sobs:
"My parents are working on a ship. They work very hard and usually don't have time to take care of me. It's no use even if I tell my grandparents about it. They don't understand."

Liu Min said with a serious expression: "This is no joke. You should call your parents and ask them to come back and take you for a checkup. They work so hard to make money just for you. You just have symptoms now. What if you delay for too long and your condition becomes serious?"

Liu Min's shocked tone made Pan Jiahui inexplicably nervous. She looked at Huai Xi helplessly and said fearfully, "It shouldn't be that serious, right?"

Ruogu is a doctor with superb medical skills, but Huaixi knows nothing about this. After thinking for a moment, she said:
"I don't understand this either, but if you're sick you should get medical treatment in time. If you're scared, come home with me after we get back to school and let my mom take your pulse. If she says you're fine, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Pan Jiahui couldn't find a better way than this. She had long heard of Dr. Chen's medical skills, but she felt somewhat embarrassed to accept Huai Xi's help again and again.

She said awkwardly: "I don't have much living expenses left, can you pay the consultation fee later..."

Huai Xi didn't expect her life to be so difficult, and said calmly:
"You are my classmate, why would my mother charge you for the consultation? Seeing a doctor is important, don't let your imagination run wild."

Pan Jiahui's expression gradually softened, and her eyes revealed deep emotion. She secretly vowed to pay the medical fees in time when she had money.

Huai Xi didn't care what she was thinking and urged her, "Let's go quickly, don't let others overtake us."

As soon as Huai Xi said this, Pan Jiahui didn't have time to be moved and immediately followed her pace. Although the two of them were not as physically fit as Huai Xi, they could still barely keep up. When the three of them reached the top of the mountain, there were still many classmates who had not come up yet.

Huai Xi looked down from the top of the mountain and had a panoramic view of the prosperous scene of the city, like a magnificent painting. She had never had such a vision before. She only felt incomparable freedom and breadth, and her heart was unconsciously filled with lofty ambitions.

They enjoyed the beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain and took photos of each other until their classmates gathered together and then they went down the mountain together.

However, climbing a mountain is easy but going down is difficult. Only after students set foot on the mountain road can they experience the different feeling of going down the mountain.

After we got down the mountain and sat on the return bus, everyone had lost the energy and spirit they had when they came. They leaned against the seats with trembling legs to rest.

Fortunately, today is Friday, and considering that they have exhausted too much physical energy, the evening study class has been cancelled.

Pan Jiahui sat with Huai Xi on the way back, and followed her to Jishiditang after getting off the bus. Sister Yang was standing at the door, and when she saw Huai Xi's figure from afar, she came to meet her, took off her backpack, and said distressedly:

"You must be exhausted from climbing the mountain. The temperature is not high, but your hair is wet with sweat. You must have exerted a lot of effort. I will prepare a medicinal bath for you tonight. We can have a good rest at home on the weekend."

Huaixi was used to being spoiled by Sister Yang, so she smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just sweated a little, but I'm not too tired."

Sister Yang looked at her carefully and was relieved when she confirmed that she was fine. Then she noticed Pan Jiahui standing beside Huai Xi and said with a loving face:

"This is our Xixi's classmate, right? She's really pretty. What's your name?"

Pan Jiahui had never been treated so kindly by a strange elder. Her face flushed as she said, "Hello! My name is Pan Jiahui, and I'm Huaixi's classmate." Sister Yang greeted her warmly, "Then hurry home with us. Our Huaixi hasn't taken the initiative to bring her classmates back to play. You must be her good friend."

Pan Jiahui was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. Huai Xi said considerately:

"Sister Yang, she is indeed my good friend, but Jiahui is introverted. She will get shy if you talk too much. Are there any patients in the clinic right now?"

Sister Yang understood immediately, and she smiled and said, "Why should you be shy? Come to our house and treat it as your own. All the patients have left, and your mother is sitting there reading a medical book."

Huai Xi nodded slightly, "That's great, I'll take Jiahui to say hello to my mother first."

Sister Yang had a quick mind and could roughly guess what was going on. She said softly, "Then go ahead. I'll go to the kitchen and make you something delicious."

Pan Jiahui followed Huai Xi. She was a little reserved when she entered the clinic, not daring to look around. Ruogu looked up and saw her daughter's happy face. She closed the medical book and asked, "You're back. Did you enjoy climbing the mountain?"

Huai Xi said in a relaxed voice: "I had a lot of fun, but my classmate is not feeling well, so I want you to help me see what's going on."

Ruogu turned his head to look at Pan Jiahui. She had a kind look in her eyes. She stood up and said softly, "Little girl, come and sit down. Tell me, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Pan Jiahui got over her initial discomfort and now looked a little more natural. She whispered, "My menstruation is irregular and I always have irregular bleeding..."

Ruogu frowned slightly, thinking that it might be a minor problem of puberty, and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, I'll help you first."

Pan Jiahui nodded obediently and agreed, thinking that Huaixi's mother was very gentle. She put her wrist on the pulse pillow, secretly raised her eyes to glance at Ruogu, and unconsciously compared her with her own mother. Her mother had endless work to do every day, and she always spoke in a loud voice, and was never so gentle.

Despite this, she still loved her mother the most, and she knew her mother loved her too. After Ruogu took the pulse, he saw that the little girl was still distracted, so he explained softly:

"You have functional uterine bleeding, which falls into the category of metrorrhagia in traditional Chinese medicine. The condition is somewhat complicated and has a high recurrence rate."

Huaixi's calm expression became a little tense at this moment. She said anxiously, "Mom, Jiahui's parents are not around, and her grandparents don't know anything. You have to help her."

Ruogu squeezed her daughter's hand soothingly and said calmly, "Don't panic, I just told her the severity of her illness. It's not incurable."

Pan Jiahui's expression eased a little, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Auntie, I want to get treatment on credit first. When I grow up and earn money, or when my mother comes back, I will pay you the consultation fee. Is that okay?"

Ruogu chuckled and said, "You already call me auntie. If I still charge for the consultation, Huaixi will make trouble with me."

Huai Xi echoed, "If we don't get along as mother and daughter, it's your fault."

Pan Jiahui felt warm in her heart. She suppressed the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Auntie. I'll leave it to you."

Ruogu said calmly, "This disease is easy to treat. I'll prescribe you a few doses of Jiao Ai Tang to see how effective it is. A young girl's body is precious, so you need to take good care of it."

Pan Jiahui became a left-behind child at a very young age. Only when her mother came home could she dress like a little girl. Most of the time, she was very sloppy.

Although her grandparents favored boys over girls, they were not bad to her. At least they never treated her badly in terms of food and drink. If she had more, it would be fine.

The clothes she is wearing now were bought by her mother before school started. Although they are not as good as those of other classmates, she is very content.

Aunt Chen is nice but she is not her mother. There is no reason for her to be unconditionally nice to her. She knows how to be grateful and said sincerely, "Thank you, Auntie... I will take good care of my body."

Ruogu knew that she was worried, so he patted her shoulder gently to comfort her.

"Then I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Just take this matter seriously. Stay for dinner tonight. It's still early. You can go upstairs and play with Huaixi first."

Pan Jiahui waved her hands quickly, she said embarrassedly:

"My grandparents know that I won't be attending evening self-study classes today, so they are waiting for me to go home. It's not convenient for me to go home if there are no buses at this late hour."

Huai Xi said in a clear voice: "Let my mother drive you home after dinner. Don't you want to visit my room?"

Pan Jiahui was in a dilemma. She was a thoughtful person and often paid too much attention to what others thought, to the point that she ignored her own feelings and forgot her own emotions and needs.

Seeing her embarrassment, Ruogu smiled and said:

"Since there's someone waiting at Jiahui's house, let's not force it. It'll be the same next time. Sit for a while and I'll get you some medicine."

He Hui was counting the herbs in the backyard. Ruogu went to the medicine cabinet to get the herbs. She took out the herbs and sorted them into categories. She took out a pen and paper and wrote down the method of decocting the herbs. When she handed it to Pan Jiahui, she said,

"This medicine is taken in two doses. After a course of treatment, come back to me to feel your pulse. If the effect is not good, we will give you acupuncture. You can't rush to regulate your body. You have to take your time."

Pan Jiahui felt the weight of the medicine in her hand. She could only thank him awkwardly. Ruogu touched her head and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. We have a lot of medicinal herbs at home. The cost is not high. You can use them without worry."

Pan Jiahui nodded. She took a large bag of medicine and was sent out of the clinic by Huai Xi. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky red. The clouds in the sky were shining brightly under the setting sun, as if all the troubles and worries could be soothed by this beautiful sunset.

At the same time, Yu Yuan had just finished filming his last scene. He removed his makeup and changed into casual clothes. Before he came out of the dressing room, his cell phone rang.

The caller was Yang Mingsheng. Yu Yuan picked up the phone and said calmly, "Boss Yang, do you have any instructions?"

Yang Mingsheng chuckled and said, "You are too polite, Mr. Yu. How dare I tell you anything? My wife is pregnant and still needs the care of Doctor Chen. I want to tell you a piece of news.

Mr. Wang from Kemao Group, his mother just had a heart surgery and is in a coma. She is still in the ICU. He is asking for news about Dr. Chen. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yu Yuan frowned slightly and said calmly:

"If Mr. Wang has any request, my wife will never stand by and watch him die, but the Wang family is large and powerful, so I think they have no shortage of medical resources, so there is no need for us to recommend ourselves."

Yang Mingsheng laughed when he heard this. He said in a low voice, "Brother Yu is right. Doctor Chen has no shortage of patients. There is no need to lower his status."
