When they returned to the villa, Tang Beibei walked into the living room and found Ruan Qi and Song Zhou chatting on the sofa.
“Beibei, you’re finally home. Let’s have dinner.’1
Ruan Qi got up and Song Zhou carefully supported her, afraid that she would hurt herself.
Ruan Qi did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw how nervous he was. “I’m fine, Mr. Song.”
“You’re not a kid but a big kid. You walk carelessly, do things recklessly, and take big steps. You are carrying our baby now, so I need to take precautions.”
Ruan Qi massaged her brows. Was she that bad?
He made it sound like the baby wasn’t hers!
“How was your day?” Tang Beibei asked.
Before Ruan Qi could speak, Song Zhou said, “When she woke up this morning, her stomach hurt a little. It got better after she drank some medicine. She ate apples, red dates and nuts in the morning. After watching a little TV, she felt sleepy again.”
“She didn’t eat much for lunch and slept until three or four o’clock in the afternoon. She said that she felt groggy from sleeping too much. I wanted to take her out for a walk, but I was afraid that it was too windy outside and she would catch a cold.”
“I bought her a new phone, but I was afraid that the phone would emit radiation, so I didn’t give it to her.”
Ruan Qi was speechless.
Tang Beibei’s mouth twitched. “Although the first few months of pregnancy is delicate, it’s not that exaggerated.”
Afraid that she would catch a cold from the wind outside?
Ruan Qi fell and bumped herself during dance practice when she didn’t know that she was pregnant and nothing happened.
“There’s no need to watch her so carefully. You’ll make the pregnant woman anxious. Song Zhou, you need to relax.”
Song Zhou took a deep breath and tried to relax himself. However, when he saw Ruan Qi walk to the table, he immediately went over to pull out the chair for her and helped her sit down.
Tang Beibei’s mouth twitched again. Fine, everything she just said was for nothing.
They didn’t mention anything about Ruan Qi’s mother over dinner.
After dinner, Tang Beibei gave the books she borrowed to Song Zhou and Ruan Qi. They were about things to note during pregnancy, as well as TCM way of nourishing the fetus.
Tang Beibei even joked with her. “Qiqi, you’re pregnant now, so you should take the opportunity to learn about gynecology, pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal recovery.”
Ruan Qi looked at the stack of thick books and held her forehead while she rested her other hand on Song Zhou.
“Beloved Consort Song, help me up. I feel dizzy.”
“… Are you okay?” Song Zhou was nervous.
Ruan Qi felt a little guilty when she saw his worry. She waved her hand and said, “I just didn’t want to study.1‘
Jiang Jingchen, who was sitting beside them, said coldly, “Ruan Qi, pay attention to prenatal education. If you reject learning, your baby won’t like learning in the future, haha.”
Those words were too hurtful.
Ruan Qi immediately hugged the books and said, “I love learning. Learning makes me happy!”
Song Zhou had no words.
Thus, the four of them began to study “The Pregnancy Guide”.
Ruan Qi was still on leave, so Tang Beibei went to school alone, but her routine did not change.
After class, she would go to the library or to Professor Chen’s office for her shift. Fu Jin would then bring Tang Beibei to the dance studio, with a pitstop at the hospital for Tang Beibei to treat Madam Wu.
When she arrived at Madam Wu’s ward, they saw a young, unfamiliar woman sitting by Madam Wu’s bed.
The woman was also in her twenties and had exquisite makeup. When she saw them, she stood up with a smile and said, “You must be Miss Tang who is treating my mother. Hello, I’m Qu Yiyi.”
“Hello, Miss Qu. I’m Tang Beibei.”
“Who is that behind you?”
As Qu Yiyi spoke, she looked at Fu Jin, who was behind Tang Beibei, with a curious gaze.
Fu Jin took the initiative to introduce himself, “I’m Beibei’s classmate, Fu Jin. Hello, Miss Qu.”
“Are you two a couple?”
Fu Jin glanced at Tang Beibei and explained, “No, I’m her dance captain. I’m taking her to dance practice later.”
Qu Yiyi nodded with a smile. She then stood up and walked to the side to let Tang Beibei start her mother’s treatment.
When Tang Beibei started, the chief physician walked into the ward with an intern up to Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei was slightly nervous. She looked at the chief physician in confusion and asked, “Is something the matter?”
After all, the chief physician was a very experienced doctor and Tang Beibei respected him very much. She was also afraid that she had made a mistake and made a fool of herself.
The chief smiled and waved his hand. “Nothing much. I just brought my student here to observe. Beibei, don’t be nervous. Just do your thing.”
Tang Beibei let Madam Wu lie down and began her treatment. She moved seriously and quickly. People who didn’t know acupoints of the human body wouldn’t be able to understand what she was doing.
In less than half an hour, Tang Beibei was done. She cleaned her hands with hand sanitizer and returned to the bed to take Madam Wu’s pulse.
She took out her notebook and recorded Madam Wu’s condition.
The chief nodded at her meticulousness. He was a little envious of Professor Chen.
Tang Beibei was only in her second year, but she already had such stability and ability. She would become a master in a few years.
It wasn’t easy to train medical students, let alone a good doctor without a few years of practical experience.
“Madam Wu, have you lost weight?”
Madam Wu looked at Tang Beibei expectantly. Since her last weigh-in, Tang Beibei didn’t allow her to step on a scale.
She was worried that Madam Wu would feel under pressure, that she would regain the weight before her condition stabilized.
Tang Beibei kept her notebook, looked at Madam Wu, and said with a smile, “Let’s do another weigh-in.”
Madam Wu couldn’t wait. She quickly got out of bed and step on the new scale she had bought.
She stepped on it.
“Oh my god, 148!”
“Beibei, Beibei, I’ve lost more weight!”
Madam Wu was so excited that her face turned red as she danced with joy.
Tang Beibei was also quite excited, but she kept her calm. “Since you’ve lost weight, you have to maintain it. Go to bed early and get up early. Maintain a fixed diet.”
“Then, can I start eating meat?”
To lose weight, Madam Wu had stopped eating meat for a while.
“Yes. Having a little meat is fine.”
Tang Beibei said a few more comforting words to her before she said to the chief, “If you’re worried, you can order another check-up for her. Please still have your team keep an eye on her. Madam Wu used to eat a lot of sweets which she has stopped recently. I’m worried that she can’t resist the temptation.”
“Alright, young lady. You’re really good. How did you do it?”
Tang Beibei cleared her throat awkwardly after being praised.
“It’s not that I’m good, it’s Professor Chen who’s good. He taught me how to treat Madam Wu and it’s also because Madam Wu cooperated with the treatment.”
“After her check-up, you can discuss the surgery again with her. Of course, her weight won’t keep dropping.”
“I’m just helping her get rid of the garbage that has accumulated in her body. As for the fats in her body, we’ll have to wait until she’s better before asking her to exercise.”
The chief looked at her with a much gentler gaze. He instructed the intern behind him to take Madam Wu for a check-up later.
Tang Beibei said goodbye to Madam Wu and walked out of the ward. The chief followed her out and looked at her hesitantly.
Tang Beibei stopped walking in confusion. “Chief, do you have any instruction for me? If it’s something I didn’t do well, I’ll adjust.”
“No, no, it’s not your problem.”
The chief physician seemed to be in a bind. He hesitated for a few seconds before he said, “It’s like this. I have a few patients in similar situations as Madam Wu. I was thinking that since you have a solution for Madam Wu, can you do a joint consultation for these other patients?”
Tang Beibei waved her hand. “Joint consultation needs to be done with a doctor. I’m just a student. I’m not qualified.”
“I am able to treat Madam Wu only because Professor Chen diagnosed her first and taught me what to do.”
How would she dare to lay her hands on patients without Professor Chen’s guidance and protection?
This involves human lives, not a joke.
The chief sighed. “We’ve done a joint consultation with our TCM colleagues here, but the outlook isn’t optimistic.”
“Professor Chen brought you here to help improve Madam Wu’s condition. If your technique worked, why don’t you try it on other patients?”
Tang Beibei knew that the chief had the patients’ interests at heart, but she knew her limits.
“Chief, I can’t do this. You’ll have to ask Professor Chen. Besides, I’m still a student and my study load is quite heavy. I’m really sorry.”
The chief sighed helplessly. “Life and death are fated. Madam Wu is very lucky to have met you. Miss Beibei, you’ll definitely have great accomplishments in the future. I’ll wait for you to finish your apprenticeship.”
Tang Beibei scratched her head. She wasn’t happy at the sudden praise. Instead, she felt pressured..
