Chapter 45 (1/2)

Shi Yan asked He Nuo to ride his bicycle home at noon the next day, then go to school directly by himself in the late afternoon instead of picking him up. He had already arranged to meet with w.a.n.g Feng for lunch before going to his house for a consultation with his mother. Shi Yan narrated He Nuo’s medical history to w.a.n.g Mama once, but he knew that it was overly simplistic so there was no way for w.a.n.g Mama to correctly deduce which kind of nephritis it was, or whether or not it was even nephritis in the first place. w.a.n.g Mama tried her best to use layman terms to explain and a.n.a.lyse He Nuo’s condition, then suggested that it would be best for him to go to the hospital for some check-ups and tests.

She couldn’t diagnose anything, but w.a.n.g Mama reminded Shi Yan that according to his current symptoms, He Nuo was still urinating blood. But hematuria can be cla.s.sified into two types: those that can be seen under a microscope and those that can be seen with the naked eye. It was more serious in the past, so you could see the blood with your naked eye, but after he had consumed a large amount of anti-inflammatories, the red blood cells that’s discharged had decreased so you couldn’t see an obvious red colour. But the pain at the start and end of every urination session is likely due to the discharge of red blood cells. So, He Nuo definitely needed to avoid getting cold and wet, because his immune system is currently very weak. Even a slight cold, flu or respiratory infection could trigger his hematuria.

w.a.n.g Mama then talked about some other areas that required attention: diet, exercise and lifestyle. It was very important for him to pay attention to his nutrition, keep warm and improve his immune system. Shi Yan listed several kinds of health care products in detail, and asked if they were suitable. More or less, because they were all beneficial for boosting one’s immunity.

After they took their leave, Shi Yan and w.a.n.g Feng made a trip down to Shi Yan’s place before they went to school, so they were almost late for their cla.s.ses. After his cla.s.ses ended, he went to look for He Nuo. He took out a small bottle and inserted a straw in it, “Drink this.”

He Nuo looked at it but didn’t take it, “This again, I don’t want to drink it. I don’t like sweet things, it’s nauseating.”

“And medicine isn’t nauseating? Do you want to eat medicine for the rest of your life?” Shi Yan spoke in a very strong tone.

He Nuo could tell at a glance that he was unhappy, so he accepted the drink and quickly downed it.

“You don’t like to drink it? Then don’t cough behind me everyday.”

He Nuo laughed and didn’t argue with him.When he looked at He Nuo eyes that took up a large surface area on his face because how of skinny he is, Shi Yan couldn’t harden his heart and instead advised, “This is good for your body, you need to drink it everyday from now onwards.”

“Every day?” He Nuo’s face turned sullen.

On the contrary, the dark clouds looming above Shi Yan dispersed and had turned sunny instead, “Yes, and you need to continue drinking Apollo too.”
