Names mentioned in this chapter (which can also be found in the glossary ):
-俞知乐(yú zhī lè)- Yu Zhi Le, the female protagonist.
-余子涣(yú zǐ huàn)- Yu Zi Huan, the male lead
Yu Zi Huan’s body was not as tense as before. His head bent over Yu Zhi Le’s shoulders, and his eyelashes trembled like butterflies flapping their wings a few times. He was fragile yet he was a stunning beauty. He slowly raised his hand that wasn’t holding onto Yu Zhi Le’s hand, stroked her back, and with increasing force until he held her tightly in his arms.
“Don’t leave me.”
His life was a process of being constantly abandoned by important people. His father left him and his mother because of gambling debts, his mother abandoned him and his grandmother because she could not bear the humiliation, and finally even his grandmother left him because of illness.
Thick haze engulfed his world. When he thought he would never experience daylight, a faint but tenacious sunshine broke through the haze that covered the sky. She did not shrink back from his sensitive and eccentric temperament, did not think he was a burden, cooked for him, taught him how to deal with and treat people, and became his support. She told him that she hoped he could be like all other children.
Yu Zhi Le was the sunshine given to him by the Heavens.
He couldn’t imagine what it felt like to return to the dark world with no daylight again.
Yu Zhi Le couldn’t see Yu Zi Huan’s expression at this time. She sighed and didn’t dare to make a promise, but was tightly wrapped in Yu Zi Huan’s arms as she felt his fragility and uneasiness. She still said softly, “Okay, I won’t leave you.”
After this night, Yu Zi Huan did not continue to be angry about Yu Zhi Le’s late return, but insisted on going with her on the nights when she would go to the Internet cafe to post novels. Although Yu Zhi Le did not stop him regarding this matter, she also understood that she must explain where she came from to Yu Zi Huan as soon as possible, and let him not be so distressed. The plan to brainwash him to not be so reliant on her immediately appeared. Otherwise, one day she might accidentally fall again, and fall to another point in time. With Yu Zi Huan’s current psychological state, she was afraid that after leaving, he would have more extreme thoughts that were worse than when she first met him.
It was also at Yu Zi Huan’s insistence that Yu Zhi Le was forced to consult an old Chinese medicine doctor who opened a private clinic near their district. Yu Zi Huan originally wanted her to go to a big hospital for a physical examination, where It was better to take an X-ray or something to check why there was such a scary situation that night. But Yu Zhi Le was not registered in the national household system at all. It was considered good to have an old Chinese medicine doctor in a private clinic who was willing to feel her pulse, let alone that it was impossible to find any problem in her regardless of how big the hospital was.
Her situation that night was obviously the flow of disappearing from the face of the earth.
So both of them took a step back, and it so happened that Yu Zhi Le had always had a question.
“I…”
Yu Zhi Le summoned up her courage. As soon as she opened her mouth, the old chinese doctor closed his eyes and immediately made a “shh” action to shush her. She had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. However, the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor appeared to be so spaced out, it made her doubt whether he was attending to her or simply falling asleep.
She looked back at Yu Zi Huan standing behind her. She was very moved by him as he had specially asked for leave to accompany her to see her doctor. However, since he was staring blankly there, she was really embarrassed to voice out her doubts.
Yu Zhi Huan’s posture of waiting and staring at the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor made Yu Zhi Le feel that if she opened her mouth to ask him to leave for a moment, he would definitely reject without saying anything. Thus, she had no choice but to obediently and quietly play the role of a “patient”.
The old traditional Chinese medicine doctor finally withdrew his hand, pouted his mouth, and slowly looked up from behind the old glasses at the two, “Are you both idle?”
Yu Zhi Le couldn’t hear that this was to satirize them for stirring a fuss when they have nothing to do. Before he could react, she heard Yu Zi Huan rebuked, “Are you not carefully feeling her pulse? If you don’t find a problem, can you try again?”
The eyes of the old Chinese medicine doctor slowly moved to Yu Zi Huan’s face and said slowly, “You don’t believe me? Then why are you here?
“No, no, that’s not what he meant.” Yu Zhi Le was afraid that Yu Zi Huan’s attitude would anger the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and quickly interjected. However, it was difficult to question in an indirect manner, “That is… my body really has nothing wrong?”
The old traditional Chinese medicine doctor was amused by these two people. “Elderly people suspect that there are many problems with them, but I haven’t seen many people like you who are young and suspect that they are ill.”
Yu Zi Huan still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yu Zhi Le’s tug on his arm. Then, she turned her face and hesitated for a long time and said in a mosquito-like voice: “Uh… My menstruation…seems to be a little irregular, and it hasn’t come…”
She wanted to say that her ‘aunt’ [1] hadn’t visited her for more than half a year. She wanted to ask if she needed some traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate, but she really couldn’t say it because Yu Zi Huan was present.
The old traditional Chinese medicine doctor squinted and frowned, stretched out his neck and listened attentively to her. He repeated it in a loud voice, “Irregular menstruation.”
Yu Zhi Le stiffened, dare not look back at Yu Zi Huan, squeezed out a crooked smile and nodded to the old Chinese medicine doctor.
“It’s normal for you to experience a week delay at your age. I think your qi and blood is ample. Don’t worry too much.” The old traditional Chinese medicine doctor glanced at Yu Zhi Le, “This matter will also influence your mood. Relax, and it will come naturally. If it still doesn’t come in a few days, I’ll prescribe some medicine for you.
Yu Zhi Le was raging inwardly. Regarding her issue, she wasn’t a few days late but was more than a hundred days late! However, in the end, she complied with the meaning of the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor and left the clinic with Yu Zi Huan dejectedly and did not take away any medicinal materials.
“Your…” Not long after walking back, the thing Yu Zhi Le was worried about still happened. Yu Zi Huan must be going to ask her about “irregular menstruation”. She became frantic for a while, and didn’t know whether he had learned this knowledge in school. It would be easy to handle if he had learned it. If not, she didn’t know how to conduct an enlightenment of the knowledge of physiology and health.
