Chapter 9

The man sitting in the back seat, his slender fingers casually supporting his chin, his fingertips gentlyWith his cheek pursed, he looked through the car window quietly into the distance. The light and shadow on his face changed alternately, reflecting his deep, dark eyes.

Hearing this, he said softly: “Don’t be in a hurry, let them wait for a while.”

After piercing the Dinghai point, Yu Huai found the Yunmen point on the outer and upper part of the child’s chest wall, above the coracoid process of the scapula, and in the depression of the subclavian fossa, and pierced it with the tip of the needle.

After the two injections, the child’s breathing became less rapid, and the cyanosis of his lips and nails also faded a little.

The person next to him exclaimed in surprise, “Much better! It’s amazing! You really have some skills, little girl.”

“Yeah, look at the kid, he can breathe.”

“Little girl, you have great skills. Can you help me take a look? My head has been hurting so much these past two days and I don’t know what’s going on.”

Yu Huai raised his head and smiled modestly, “It’s not that magical, Auntie. If your headache is severe, you still have to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. Headaches can be recurring. I dare not give you random injections or prescribe random medicines.”

After more than ten minutes, the little boy was well again. Yu Huai pulled out the needles from his body. He blinked his big, bright black eyes and looked at Yu Huai who was removing the needles from him. He cleared his hoarse throat and said, “Sister, I know you. You just moved here.”

Yu Huai touched his little head and said, “Yes, that’s me. How do you feel now?”

Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, “My chest feels heavy, as if a huge rock is pressing down on it. But everything else is gone. I can breathe now.”

Yu Huai smiled and said, “It’s okay. Don’t go out too much in the future. There are pollens everywhere outside. The pollen got into your nose, which is why it’s blocked.”

The man asked anxiously, “Doctor, is it caused by pollen?”

“Has your child had this condition before?”

The man shook his head. “No, it started two weeks ago.”

“That should be it. It’s the changing season now, and the flowers are in full bloom. It’s fine now, but I can’t guarantee it won’t recur in the future. You can go to the hospital and get a prescription for a salbutamol bronchodilator. Terbutaline is also fine, or a theophylline-based medication.”

The man was confused.

Seeing this, Yu Huai took out a pen and paper, wrote down the ones he had just mentioned and handed them to him, “Go to the hospital or the pharmacy to buy them, and carry them with you from now on.”

The man took it and said, “Doctor…is this expensive?”

It shouldn’t be expensive now.

After all, the price of aerosols will only range from a few yuan to a few dozen yuan in the future. She nodded slightly and said, “It’s not expensive.”

The man finally felt relieved. He had difficulty walking and usually just collected scrap and did some manual work for others. The money he could earn was really limited.

The man thanked her repeatedly and was about to leave with the child in his arms. The little boy poked his head out of the man’s arms, waved to Yu Huai and said, “Thank you, sister!!”

After everyone left, Yu Huai breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched her body. As she was about to leave, her hands suddenly felt empty. Where was the food she bought?!

Yu Huai hurriedly turned her head to the west and looked for something. About seven or eight meters away from the street, she saw a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a dish of cabbage, pork and vermicelli stewed with vermicelli that she had bought spread on the ground, trampled to pieces. One of the two big snow-white steamed buns was flattened, and the other was covered in mud. Her favorite big duck leg was also stuck in the sand.

Yu Huai felt so distressed. This was her dinner, and it was just bought and still hot.

She squatted on the ground and rescued her duck leg from the sand. Fortunately, only half of it was crushed and the other half could still be eaten after being salvaged. She turned her head and reached out to grab the plastic bag, but saw a pair of black Derby leather shoes coming over and stepping on her plastic bag.

Yu Huai hissed softly. This man wore such nice shoes, but he was blind. She pounded the ground twice in anger, “Hey, hey, hey, you stepped on my things, didn’t you see?”

“Oh? I really haven’t seen it.”

A man’s chuckle came from above Yu Huai’s head. Although he said that, he did not move his foot away, and even stepped heavily inside.

Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Huai looked up suddenly. Seeing that it was the man on the mountain, Yu Huai shouted in surprise, “It’s you?!”

I thought it was just a chance encounter, but I didn’t expect to meet you again now.

Yu Huai stood up and glanced up and down. The well-tailored black suit fit his body perfectly. The smooth lines extended from the broad shoulders to the straight trouser line, outlining his perfect body proportions. The shirt inside had two buttons undone, revealing his collarbone just right. He looked both sexy and elegant, and every detail showed the quality of top-notch menswear.

Tsk tsk, dressed like this, this guy looks so flashy, and you can even smell the perfume on him when you get close to him.

“What are you doing here?”

Chi Xu had a scornful smile on his face and looked at her with a neutral look. She looked even sloppier than before.

“Didn’t I give you the money? Why are you still so…”

He pursed his lips, frowned slightly, and shook his head slightly from side to side, “So dirty.”

Yu Huai curled his lips and tugged at his sleeves. “I left in a hurry. Without an ID, I can’t stay anywhere.”

“So where do you live now?”

She pointed to the bridge not far away and said, “Look, it’s in that bridge hole over there.”

Chi Xu’s mouth twitched, “You live under the bridge?”

Yu Huai nodded again, “Only the bridge hole can provide some shelter from the wind and rain. This is the best place I can find.”

The man untied his foot and looked down at the grease spots on the toe of his shoe with disdain in his eyes. “Come with me to Lin’an City. We need a nanny at home. You’re a good fit.”

Which eye of his saw that she was suitable to be a nanny.

Although she is omnipotent, she has never been a nanny and has never considered going down this path.

Seeing her hesitation, Chi Xu continued, “You don’t have an ID right now, so going anywhere is a problem. Even if you can find accommodation, finding a job will be a problem. Nowadays, all companies and government agencies require academic qualifications, not to mention ID. If you come to me, I can not only help you find accommodation and work, but if you do well, I can also help you with your identity.”

Yu Huai’s eyes slowly lit up. What he said was indeed right. Apart from anything else, Yu Huai wanted this identity certificate so badly. He had been asking around for two days but had no clue. He didn’t know how long his current situation would last.

She licked her lips. “So what does it take to be a nanny in your house? How long are the working hours and how much is the salary? Do you have days off? Do you provide social security?”

Chi Xu wanted to frown impatiently, but restrained himself halfway. “Cleaning, washing clothes, and cooking with Auntie. The working hours are all day, and you can only rest when I go home. The salary is 200 yuan a month. There is no social security at the moment. Once you have an ID card, you can get it.”
