Chapter 1926 - Get the Marriage Certificate First! (1/2)
After Grampy and Grandpa Du left, Wen Xinya felt tired and fell asleep on the bed. When she woke up, Si Yiyan walked over with a bowl of pregnancy stabilizing medicine.
A crisp and bitter herbal smell hung in the air. Strangely, not only did Wen Xinya not dislike it, she even secretly liked this smell.
“Take the pregnancy stabilizing medicine first. Old Mr. Du said that your stomach is bloated and you’ll feel better after taking it.” After Xinya fell asleep, he got Gu Yuehan to go to Old Mr. Du’s medicinal hall to retrieve the pregnancy stabilizing medicine and personally brewed the medicine for her based on Old Mr. Du’s instructions.
Once the pregnancy stabilizing medicine was ready, she woke up.
“You brewed it yourself?” Wen Xinya saw that his sleeves were rolled up, smelling vaguely herbal, and felt indescribably touched.
Si Yiyan answered with an “mmm”, stirred the medicine in the bowl, and blew at it from time to time. Wen Xinya sat on the hospital bed, stared at his actions intently, and gradually broke into a smile.
After about five minutes, Si Yiyan tasted the medicine—the temperature was just right. “Should I feed you or do you want to do it yourself?”
Wen Xinya took over the bowl of medicine and said, “I’ll do it myself. Traditional Chinese Medicine tastes more awful the longer you take to drink it—I’ll finish it in one gulp.”
Saying that she leaned back and gulped the medicine like drinking water. The warm medicinal soup made Wen Xinya’s stomach warm and nice and relaxed her whole body—it had been some time since she felt as good as this moment. “This medicine is indeed effective.”
She was also well-versed in medicine and was also more sensitive towards medicine compared to others. At this point, since she didn’t have any ill reactions towards Grandpa Du’s pregnancy stabilizing medicine, it had obviously worked.
This made her even more confident in the pregnancy stabilizing medicine.
The extremely picky Xinya finished the entire bowl of black and bitter medicine in one gulp and didn’t even complain. Si Yiyan looked at her exquisite brows and fragile face with a delicate charm, sighed slightly, and asked, “Is it bitter?”
Wen Xinya stuck her tongue out and scrunched her nose. “Bitter!”
However, she was willing to drink it.
Si Yiyan fetched another bowl and said, “I’ve prepared your favorite sweet porridge which can help you get rid of the bitterness and fill you up—you can’t keep starving like this.”
The refreshing sweet fragrance spread in the air, every grain of the rice and barley sweet porridge was split open, and the sticky glutinous rice, the aromatic barley, the sweet red bean paste, and the fragrant osmanthus honey instantly whetted Wen Xinya’s appetite.
“Si Yiyan, you’re so awesome!”
As Wen Xinya ate the sweet porridge happily, the bitter taste in her mouth finally went away. She couldn’t help but recall the first time Si Yiyan made sweet porridge for her.
Then, Si Yiyan had wiped out the Black Sunday and she was waiting for him at the entrance of the Jiayuan Club. In the end, she fell sick, and Si Yiyan tried time and again before he could make a good-tasting sweet porridge.
As Wen Xinya ate the sweet porridge, Si Yiyan was reading a medical book in his hands.
“You can understand it?”
She saw that she seemed to understand. However, medical knowledge was deep, difficult to understand, and incomprehensible for those who hadn’t learned it.
“The book says that one can take fish maw for backache, stomachache, and bloated abdomen. I’ll call and ask Old Mr. Du later if you can take some.”
Si Yiyan naturally didn’t have medical knowledge—he merely learned some when treating his ailment previously. Now that Xinya wasn’t in the best shape, they couldn’t bother Old Mr. Du for everything either—there’d definitely be times when distant water couldn’t put out a fire on hand. As he was used to having control over everything and didn’t tolerate mistakes, he felt that he needed to have some Traditional Chinese Medicine knowledge.
