Si Zhengting’s heart lurched. “But what?”
Upon seeing how concerned Si Zhengting was, the pract.i.tioner furrowed his brows.
As it had only been a short period of time since Zhuang Nainai had been admitted into the hospital, the medical staff was unlikely to have even retrieved the results from a blood test, let alone a pulse-condition a.n.a.lyzer. Hence, he wasn’t sure if his diagnosis was accurate.
The pract.i.tioner relaxed his brows and smiled. He said, “Ultimately, Mrs. Si’s body is a little weak; thus, I should prescribe some tonics to restore her body back to health.”
Upon saying this, he hinted, “I think you can send her for a full-body check-up in two weeks’ time.”
They would be able to confirm if his speculation was true in two weeks’ time, after a blood test.
However…
The pract.i.tioner’s expression grew stern. He said solemnly, “During this period of time, don’t let Mrs. Si get too exhausted. There must be clear guidelines between work and rest for her, and the type of work she takes on cannot be too intense.”
Si Zhengting heaved a sigh of relief.
After urging the pract.i.tioner, he wrote a prescription for Zhuang Nainai. Then, Si Zhengting took the prescription and gave it to Ji Chen, delegating the job of seeking a pharmacy to get the required medicine to him.
Although this was the superb VIP ward with the best facilities, it was not as comfortable as one’s house. Furthermore, both the traditional Chinese medicine pract.i.tioner and the doctors from the hospital had said that there was nothing seriously wrong with Zhuang Nainai. Hence, Si Zhengting handed down the order – she was to be discharged from the hospital!
Then, another round of chaos ensued.
After things began settling down, Si Jingyu then realized: she seemed to have, might have, could have forgotten about something?

When Zhuang Nainai regained consciousness, it was nighttime of the same day.
She awoke due to hunger.
The aroma of chicken soup wafted before her nose, and her stomach rumbled with hunger. Before she even opened her eyes, she sniffed vigorously, taking in the scent in the air. Then, she subconsciously swallowed before violently sitting up!
She felt a little dizzy from her forceful motion. When she opened her eyes and saw the familiar sight of the room before her, she felt rather baffled.
She could not seem to recall what had happened fully. Her last memory was of following Si Zhengting into the employees’ elevator, but how had she gotten home?
Zhuang Nainai rapped her head with her fist, trying to recall what had happened. But her stomach was uncooperative with her venture and rumbled loudly. It was only then that she realized that her hunger was difficult to ignore. Thus, she simply decided to get off the bed and threw the covers back.
It was then that the door opened with a bang. Zhuang Nainai raised her head and saw Si Zhengting’s expressionless face. He walked into the room, carrying something in his hands.
Zhuang Nainai was mildly surprised when she saw him.
It seemed like he had just washed his hair. His fringe was drooping over his forehead, which made him look more gentle, unlike his usual sharp self.
This hairstyle… was the hairstyle he had back in high school!
Her heart thumped uncontrollably a couple of times. All of a sudden, she vividly recalled Si Zhengting rus.h.i.+ng to her side to a.s.sist her just before she had fainted. This scene of Si Zhengting, the hero, rescuing her, the damsel in distress, made her feel as though she was a teenage girl again. For a moment, she felt as though she had returned to the time when she was still in high school – back to the first time she had met him, when she was hot-blooded and pa.s.sionate, and when she had pursued him without a second thought.
During the freshmen enrollment ceremony, she had fallen in love with him at first sight.
At that time, she was fearless. When the ceremony had ended, she had quickly slunk off to Si Zhengting’s side. She worked up her courage and said in a clear voice, “Hey, Si Zhengting, nice to meet you. I’m Zhuang Nainai from Cla.s.s 1-1, let’s be friends!” Everyone around her had been speechless with shock.
A thin sheen of sweat had coated her palms then, and she’d been unable to calm herself down.
Si Zhengting had just delivered his speech. His gaze swept past her a couple of times without lingering for even a single second. Then, he turned and left.
Even though he had walked away from her, Zhuang Nainai was not disheartened. She tailed after him, skipping along the way. “The speech that you gave just now was awesome and I learned so much from it! I hope to discuss these pointers with you!”
