Chapter 44

Jiang Nianzi coughed lightly: “Go sit over there and wait for a while…”

She was referring to where Grandpa Shen was sitting.

Shen Cheng nodded lightly, seemingly natural, but his steps were stiff as he went to sit next to his grandfather, his hands on his knees, his back straight.

Jiang Nianzi took the prepared ointment, knelt down on the cushion in front of Grandpa Shen.

“Grandpa, roll up your pants leg…”

Shen Cheng looked down at her, when she spoke to his grandfather, her voice was soft and gentle, very patient.

Shen Cheng took the initiative to lower his head and help Grandpa Shen roll up his pants leg.

Jiang Nianzi reached out and gently pressed around the old man’s knee.

She pressed while asking softly: “Does this hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore, it just stings a little, I can walk on my own today.” Grandpa Shen said with a smile.

Shen Wulin also asked: “Doctor Jiang, does this mean that my father’s leg is healed?”

Jiang Nianzi shook her head: “Not so fast, if the infectious bacteria aren’t completely eliminated, it will recur.”

Everyone didn’t understand about bacteria, but it didn’t stop them from thinking that Jiang Nianzi was amazing.

Jiang Nianzi took out the silver needles again, dipped them in the antibacterial ointment, and then inserted them around Grandpa Shen’s knee.

Shen Cheng watched her operate without blinking.

He saw that her hands were slender and long, white and tender, they seemed very soft, just like her voice.

She inserted the silver needles very quickly, almost as soon as her fingertips brushed past, the needles went in.

Soon, a circle of silver needles were inserted around his grandfather’s knee.

Her serious work demeanor was different from her usual impression.

He had seen her a few times, listening to her soft voice, he always felt that she was very fragile, very gentle, a flower bud that needed to be protected.

But when she worked, her eyes were firm and focused, her tone was gentle, but her attitude was very serious.

And this seemingly weak girl could actually jump into such a rapid current and rescue him, a grown man.

Shen Cheng was a little mesmerized, Jiang Xinli saw him looking like he was about to get married, she even felt a little embarrassed.

Doctor Jiang was indeed beautiful, she was as white as a snowball, but was this stinky boy a little bit of a scoundrel?

How could he stare at a girl like that?

“Ahem…”

Jiang Xinli couldn’t help but cough heavily, Jiang Nianzi had just finished inserting the needles, and she raised her head and looked at Jiang Xinli: “Auntie, are you feeling unwell?”

The moment she raised her head, Shen Cheng quickly retracted his gaze, he continued to sit upright.

Meeting the little girl’s innocent and bright eyes, even Jiang Xinli felt embarrassed.

Mainly for her son.

“No, it’s just that my throat suddenly itched.”

“Oh, then drink some warm water, there’s some in the teapot, just pour yourself a cup.”

The yellow liquid that flowed out of Grandpa Shen’s knee today was much less.

Jiang Nianzi took a small notebook, she observed the old man’s condition while carefully recording it.

She was kneeling on the cushion, Shen Cheng was sitting on a stool opposite her, and he was much taller than her.

From this angle, he could clearly see her exposed neck.

It was very white, like white jade…

Shen Cheng suddenly retracted his gaze, he raised his hand and covered his eyes, he was sick.

It was just a casual glance, he accidentally swept his gaze over her, but he always unconsciously focused, forgetting to look away.

There were several patients who came to the clinic during this time.

They all shouted “Doctor Jiang” as soon as they came in.

Jiang Nianzi put away her notebook and went to check on other patients.

Shen Cheng’s gaze followed her back.

He saw that every patient spoke to her with respect.

He saw her patiently explain to an old lady who couldn’t hear well, again and again.

The old lady still didn’t understand.

She smiled and said: “Grandma Zhang, you live nearby, if you don’t understand, come every morning, noon, and evening, I’ll decoct the medicine for you, you can just come over and drink it.”

The old lady, who was called Grandma Zhang, smiled and grabbed her hand, she thanked her and said she would give her more money.

Jiang Nianzi didn’t accept it.

She personally sent the old lady out of the clinic, there was a flight of stone steps at the entrance of the clinic, and she personally helped the old lady down the steps.

Shen Cheng watched, his usually alluring peach blossom eyes curved slightly, his eyes contained an unconscious smile.

Jiang Xinli and Shen Wulin saw this, they also felt that this girl was kind-hearted.

Jiang Nianzi returned to Grandpa Shen, seeing that it was almost time, she pulled out his silver needles and soaked his feet in medicine.

“Doctor Jiang, don’t you find it troublesome to do this?” Jiang Xinli asked, expressing Shen Cheng’s question.

Jiang Nianzi was stunned at first, then she realized that she was talking about Grandma Zhang.

Hearing this, Jiang Nianzi smiled: “I hate trouble the most. But I’m a doctor, patients come to me for treatment because they’re not feeling well, if I’m impatient, how uncomfortable would the patients feel? Besides, they’re just asking a few more questions because they don’t understand and they’re not at ease, I just need to open my mouth and explain a few more times, it’s not a big deal. I’ve chosen this profession, I have to live up to the patients who spend money to see me.”

“Taking such good care of Grandma Zhang is also because she’s old, she’s alone at home, her son and daughter both work in the county town, they’ll give her money, but they won’t come back to take care of her, she’s already old, her memory isn’t good, what if she accidentally makes a mistake and hurts herself?”

She said it so naturally, but she didn’t know how much of a ripple her soft and gentle voice caused in Shen Cheng’s heart.

Not only Shen Cheng, but Shen Wulin, Jiang Xinli, and the old man felt the same way.

Those doctors in city hospitals and county hospitals, which one didn’t have their noses in the air?

It’s not that there weren’t good doctors.

But there weren’t many who thought like her.

Jiang Xinli admired Jiang Nianzi even more.

Grandpa Shen only needed to soak his feet, Jiang Nianzi looked at Shen Cheng and smiled: “Come with me over there.”

She was referring to another consultation area.

Meeting her gentle gaze, Shen Cheng’s mind went blank.

His Adam’s apple bobbed, but his expression was very serious, he said “Okay” and got up and walked towards the place she pointed to.

Jiang Xinli wanted to follow, but Jiang Nianzi stopped her and said softly: “Auntie, give him some privacy…”

After all, it was that kind of illness, with other people around, even his own mother might feel embarrassed.

Shen Cheng heard her advice, his whole back stiffened.

He wasn’t unable!

He suddenly regretted not explaining the situation to his mother.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be misunderstood…

Shen Cheng felt like he had eaten sour pickles, he wanted to explain, but he didn’t know where to start.

She hadn’t asked yet, did he have to say “I’m very capable” right away?

Just thinking about it made him feel like an old lecher.

Shen Cheng sat on the recliner.

Jiang Nianzi walked in, she also pulled the curtain closed.

In the small space, there were only him and Jiang Nianzi.

Shen Cheng seemed to hear his heart pounding.

Jiang Nianzi saw that he seemed a little tense, she thought of his illness, her eyes filled with a hint of pity, she gently patted his shoulder: “Lie down.”

Ah?

Shen Cheng looked at her, his peach blossom eyes widened slightly, making the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye even more alluring.

Jiang Nianzi felt that this man was truly a combination of beauty and male hormones.

So her voice became even gentler: “Lie down first, take off your pants.”

Shen Cheng: “!!!”
