Hearing Qi Shifeng's words, Qi Ruixi suddenly froze.
Then she reacted. "Right. There was nothing wrong with my health check this year. The doctor even praised me for being in good health. So what's wrong with me?"
"If you're vomiting, it could very well be related to your diet, getting cold, etc. But for the specific cause, we'll have to wait for the results of further examinations," the doctor said in a timely manner.
With the psychological burden lifted, Qi Ruixi's complexion finally didn't look as bad as before.
She lay back on the hospital bed and was wheeled into the examination room.
Qi Shifeng turned around and immediately grabbed Xu Tingyu's arm to check it carefully.
"She pinched you. Why didn't you shake her off? She's such a grown - up, but she doesn't know how to control her strength."
When it came to complaining about his own sister, Qi Shifeng didn't hold back at all.
But he forgot that when he freed Xu Tingyu's arm just now, he had offered his own arm instead.
Deep down, he loved his sister just as much.
"I didn't feel it at that time. I was too worried," Xu Tingyu said, looking at the red mark on her arm and smiling indifferently.
At that time, she was so frightened by Qi Ruixi that her mind was filled with all kinds of possibilities. How could she care about such a minor pain?
Qi Shifeng rubbed her arm over and over again. Fortunately, the skin wasn't broken.
From afar, Qi Ye walked over with Youyou in his arms.
Xu Tingyu saw him first and quickly walked over to take Youyou from his arms.
She didn't say anything, but suddenly Qi Ye smiled. "My body isn't as weak as you think. I can still hold a child."
Xu Tingyu felt a bit embarrassed.
She did take his health into consideration when she took the child away immediately. Her original intention was not to burden him, but it seemed that she had hurt his feelings.
So she quickly apologized. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I..."
"I know. I'm not blaming you, Tingyu. There's no need for you to be so polite with me. Even if we're not family anymore, we're still friends."
Qi Ye still smiled gently, showing no sign of annoyance.
It was Youyou who spoke up. "Uncle holding me makes me feel as safe as when Dad holds me. Uncle and Dad look so alike."
Xu Tingyu followed his gaze and looked at Qi Ye again.
Actually, Youyou was wrong. Qi Ye and Qi Shifeng didn't really look alike.
They did share a bit of similarity in their eyebrows, but their completely different temperaments made people not think they were alike at all.
Qi Ye was gentle, making people want to get close to him instinctively.
Qi Shifeng was cold, always looking like he was keeping people at arm's length.
Speaking of which, back then, she clearly preferred gentle people, but she still fell for Qi Shifeng at first sight.
"Then Youyou can get closer to Uncle in the future. During holidays, you can go to Uncle's place. Uncle will treat you like his own son," Qi Ye said, stroking Youyou's head. When he withdrew his hand, his fingertips brushed against Xu Tingyu's clothes, bringing a soft touch.
His expression remained unchanged, but his fingers curled up slightly and soon clenched into a fist, which he put into his pants pocket.
On the other side, Qi Shifeng didn't like seeing them standing together at all. He walked over and took Youyou from Xu Tingyu.
"I've already sent for someone to pick Youyou up. Why don't you go back with Youyou?"
There were people coming and going in the hospital. After all, Youyou was a child with a weak resistance. If he stayed here and got infected with something, it would be troublesome.
Xu Tingyu shook her head. "I'm not going back. Ruixi is a girl after all. It's more convenient for me to stay here."
Qi Ye also refused to leave. So the three of them stayed.
The three of them were all extremely good - looking. Standing there, they attracted countless glances.
Even a patient who was clutching his stomach in great pain shouted at the person next to him when he walked past the three of them.
"Mom, something's wrong! I'm in so much pain that I'm having hallucinations. I actually see two super - handsome guys and a beautiful woman."
"My goodness! Have I seen paper - cutout characters come to life? I must be seriously ill and about to die."
The patient's voice echoed in the corridor, causing a burst of laughter.
The patient's family member was very embarrassed and didn't even dare to look at the three of them again. He comforted the patient. "Stop howling. You'll stop hurting after you get the drip."
Xu Tingyu watched these vivid scenes and couldn't help laughing.
She remembered that when she was a child, when she was sick and went to the hospital, it was the same. She cried and wailed, thinking she was going to die.
Once, it was the most exaggerated. When she was in so much pain that her vision went black, she really thought she was about to die, so she began to sob and say her last words.
At that time, it was the nanny who accompanied her to the hospital. After hearing all her last words, the nanny was both touched and amused.
When she got home after the treatment, the nanny repeated these words to Zhang Qiu and the others, and she was laughed at for a long time.
"How could you die from such a little pain? Your mom suffered dozens of times more pain when she gave birth to you," her mother said.
"You've been spoiled by your dad. You can't bear any hardship at all."
At that time, she felt so ashamed. She really thought she was spoiled and couldn't bear such a little hardship.
So later, she became better and better at enduring hardships.
It was not until she had her own child that she realized this was wrong.
Hardships were hardships. Why should one force oneself to endure them?
As a parent, one should try their best to help the child avoid these hardships, rather than let the child get used to and endure them.
If the child still suffered hardships and endured pain, then just comfort the child when he got home.
Instead of laughing at and criticizing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Qi Shifeng noticed her laughter first. He took a step closer to her, looking very affectionate as if he was declaring his sovereignty.
"Nothing. I just remembered some childhood things."
Just as she finished explaining, the examination results came out.
"The patient is five weeks pregnant. The vomiting is a pregnancy reaction. If you're still worried after the symptoms subside, you can have a gastrointestinal function examination," the doctor said while taking out the report.
The three people outside all froze.
Especially Qi Ye and Qi Shifeng. Their expressions darkened.
After all, Qi Ruixi wasn't married yet and didn't have a stable dating partner. How could she be pregnant?
Judging from her reaction, it seemed that she didn't even know about it herself.
She must have been deceived.
"Are you sure there's no mistake in the results?" Qi Shifeng said coldly, his sharp eyes scanning the examination report.
The doctor was startled by his cold aura. He took the report and checked it again. "No mistake. The patient's name is Qi Ruixi, right? It's her."
It was Xu Tingyu who reacted first. She took the report from the doctor's hand.
"Okay, we got it. Thank you, doctor."
"Could you please prescribe some medicine to relieve her discomfort?"
She appeared calm, but her hand still trembled when she took the report.
Qi Ruixi's premarital pregnancy was like dropping a depth charge on the seemingly calm surface of the Qi family!
Not to mention that the two older brothers couldn't accept it for a while, even she, the former sister - in - law, couldn't accept it.
