Hearing Xiaobei’s soft banter, Ling’er and Qu Lei exchanged glances, knowing that there was indeed no need to be tense now.
Feeling the atmosphere relax a bit, Xiaobei smiled.
He resumed seriously taking Ling’er’s mother’s pulse.
Initially, Xiaobei didn’t find any problems at all.
Because her pulse was particularly calm...
But gradually, Xiaobei sensed some issues.
It was that her pulse was too calm.
Normally, a healthy person’s pulse would have some fluctuations, but hers had none, like stagnant lifeless water!
"No wonder doctors can’t figure it out!"
Murmuring quietly to himself, Xiaobei exhaled a turbid breath and slowly withdrew his hand.
...
"Xiaobei, how’s my mom?"
"Yeah!"
Ling’er and Qu Lei, who had been watching Xiaobei intently, spoke quickly just as Xiaobei pulled his hand back.
They were truly extremely nervous at that moment...
They wanted Xiaobei’s response but didn’t want to receive it either.
Because they feared what they might hear would be bad news...
Detecting the tension in their voices, Xiaobei knew they were at their limits!
With a light smile, Xiaobei looked at Ling’er, "I did notice a slight issue just now, but a more detailed examination is still needed!"
"What else needs to be done? Will it be troublesome? My mom’s body can’t take much more!"
Upon hearing Xiaobei mention another check-up, Ling’er trembled slightly and spoke with concern.
Previously, Ling’er had taken her mother to many hospitals for various examinations.
These intricate tests had worsened her health, so now she genuinely hoped there wouldn’t be any demanding checks.
"No need to worry, this exam isn’t troublesome, just a bit of blood is required! I’ll prepare, just wait for me!"
Having spoken, Xiaobei turned and decisively walked out of the gazebo.
...
Watching Xiaobei gradually walk away, Ling’er’s mother looked at Ling’er beside her and subtly asked, "Ling’er, what do you think of Xiaobei?"
Observing Xiaobei’s retreating figure, Ling’er gave a nervous reply, "Mom, he’s very skilled in medicine!"
Upon hearing this hesitant response, her mother’s lips curled up, "I didn’t ask about his medical skills, I asked about him as a person!"
Glancing at her mother, Ling’er pretended to be puzzled, "Mom, what do you mean? I don’t understand!"
"I’m your mother, do you think I can’t tell if you like him? You’re not young anymore; if you meet someone you like, don’t let them go, okay?"
Listening to their discussion, Qu Lei stood nearby, suddenly understanding, and asked excitedly, "Ling’er, is what your mom said true? Do you like him?"
"Dad, don’t listen to Mom’s nonsense. I barely know him, how can I like him?"
Hearing Ling’er’s retort, her mom blinked, "Love at first sight, huh!"
"Mom!"
Seeing Ling’er’s embarrassment, she gestured, "Alright, I won’t say more! I’m just expressing my opinion; I believe if you miss such a good guy, you’ll regret it forever."
"I also think he’s really good!"
Qu Lei quickly chimed in after his wife spoke...
He was being sincere...
He genuinely believed Xiaobei was great.
Listening to such heartfelt persuasion, Ling’er blushed, shyly biting her lower lip.
After that close interaction with Xiaobei earlier, she indeed had him on her mind.
Yet, she didn’t know what Xiaobei thought...
So, shyly, she kept her feelings to herself.
Seeing Ling’er shyly biting her tender lip, their faint smiles emerged.
