Mu Qingting was a little surprised that Song Zhi Xu came over because of this, but he didn’t say much, after all, a medical checkup was not a bad thing. 

Mu Qingting wrote the bill directly and then took them to the examination department. 

Both of them waited for Lin Ran in the corridor while Mu Qingting sidled up to Song Zhi Xu, his expression become somewhat serious as he said,  

“Old Song (Lao Song), why don’t you do the body check-up too? You said you had a nosebleed today right? This matter is something that you still need to pay your attention to.”

Song Zhi Xu tilted his head as he looked at Mu Qingting. He wanted to explain but didn’t know how to say it, so he averted his eyes again and kept quiet. 

Mu Qingting just thought he didn’t want to do the physical check-up, so he continued to ramble on about how a nosebleed could be the first sign to a disease, perhaps that he was prone to some very serious consequences.

He had read quite a few texts and gave endless examples. In the end, Song Zhi Xu could not listen any longer as his face grew gloomy, he cough lightly before he said in a low voice,  

“I… I am like that because of Lin Ran, that’s why… I got the nosebleed.” Song Zhi Xu found it hard to speak about this, after all, this matter was indeed a bit humiliating for him.

“Huh?” Mu Qingting dumbfounded, blinked and reacted quickly. 

He looked at Song Zhi Xu from head to toe and “tsked” twice.

“This is also normal. I can understand, so you don’t need to hide it for fear of criticism, after all, you’re at the age of ‘as ferocious as wolves and tigers’, full of vigour and vitality.” Mu Qingting glanced into the consultation room with a sense of meaning, “Are you going to do it?” 

Before Song Zhi Xu could say anything, Lin Ran had just finished his examination and quickly ran out of the consultation room and ran to Song Zhi Xu’s side to hold his wrist.

Song Zhi Xu gave Mu Qingting a look, signaling him to shut up. 

Although Song Zhi Xu admitted that sometimes he could not control himself when he was with Lin Ran, however Lin Ran was his friend’s little brother in his eyes.

“Song Zhi Xu, I got stabbed (by the needle).” Lin Ran’s face was a little aggrieved as he walked slowly into Song Zhi Xu’s arms. He raised his finger to show him a small needle hole that had been stabbed out of his fingertip.   

Just now, Song Zhi Xu had obviously told him that he didn’t need an injection but he still got it, so Lin Ran was still a little angry in his heart and wanted to show Song Zhi Xu the wound.

Song Zhi Xu answered him with,”Hn.” and then looked down to see that Lin Ran’s index finger had been stabbed on its center where the doctor had squeezed a bit of blood from it to examine it. 

Lin Ran saw that Song Zhi Xu didn’t say anything so he muttered in a low voice, “Song Zhi Xu lied to Ran Ran.”

Song Zhi Xu had previously considered that the injection was only to get put on an IV, but he had really forgotten that the blood test also needed to be pricked by the needle. 

He was just about to explain, Mu Qingting next to him peeked his head over as he took a look at him and let out a “Pfft!”.

“Ran Ran, you rush to act like a spoiled child (act coquettishly), if you had come out a little later, this wound would have healed.” 

Lin Ran didn’t quite understand Mu Qingting’s words but he knew that Mu Qingting was obviously laughing at him, so he turned around and moved into Song Zhi Xu’s arms again, nestling his body into his embrace, not even letting Mu Qingting see his fingers.

Song Zhi Xu pushed Mu Qingting away with one hand, then he hugged Lin Ran again, let him sit on top of his arms, and said with some displeasure, “Lead the way.” 

Isn’t it normal for children to be afraid of pain, what’s so funny about that?

Mu Qingting was force-fed a mouthful of dog food and somewhat disgustedly stopped putting his eyes on them as he led them on to other departments for examination. 

After finishing all the tests, the two stayed in the hospital for a while, waiting for the results to come out and then going with Mu Qingting to the hospital pharmacy to get the medicine.

While taking the medicine, Mu Qingting, as a doctor, still spoke with some melancholy. 

“All indicators are not up to standard. Now although it looks like there is no problem, if this continues it will definitely cause a big problem. What I have prescribed this time are some tonic medicines, but the most important thing is to take dietary supplements and take good care of him.” He took the medicine out of the window and handed it to Song Zhi Xu before then he continued, “This time you come over after eating, some items in the blood test cannot be checked. If you have time, come over again in the morning without eating.”

Song Zhi Xu hugged Lin Ran with one hand, took the medicine with his other hand and nodded his head as he walked out. 

Mu Qingting raised his voice again behind him and said, “Zhi Xu, the medicine you want is also inside, don’t take the wrong one!”

Song Zhi Xu waved his hand and left. It was a little late when Lin Ran woke up from his nap at noon, so even if both of them had eaten and came over to check up, it would be a lot of trouble, quite tiring for some time. Now, it was already dusk, he had to take Lin Ran for a trip to the supermarket before going home to cook. 

He was in such a hurry to leave and didn’t stay any longer.

They had just left when the little nurse ran over quickly, stopping beside Mu Qingting with a slight gasp and taking a moment to slow down before she anxiously said,  

“Dr. Mu, the patient you operated on in the accident today has woken up. He said that he is in pain and asking you to come over. The nurses and doctors who came into the ward have all been thrown out. You should go and have a look!”

Mu Qingting nodded and walked quickly with the nurse towards the ward. 

Pushing open the door, the man in the single room ward had a thick plaster cast on one leg and was hanging on a shelf slightly above the bed, clutching a grape in his arms, not knowing where it came from as he was eating it.

Seeing him enter, the other man spat out the grape skin from his mouth and said in a somewhat lazy voice, “Doctor Mu, I’m in pain.” 

……

On the other hand, Song Zhi Xu carried Lin Ran all the way to the parking lot.  

Both of them naturally attracted the attention of many people on the road and Lin Ran felt the ogling eyes of people around him as he lay on Song Zhi Xu’s shoulders.

But he only hugged Song Zhi Xu’s neck tighter and buried his cheeks in the side of his neck, not daring to raise his head. 

Until they entered the car and Lin Ran sat on the front passenger seat, when it was only he and Song Zhi Xu were left in the space, Lin Ran bit his lip and said in a low voice,

“They are all looking at Ran Ran.” 

Song Zhi Xu had been the centre of attention in the crowd since he was a child, so he naturally didn’t care about the gazes of the onlookers and only said indifferently when he heard Lin Ran’s words. 

“No need to care about it.” 

Song Zhi Xu said he didn’t need to care, therefore Lin Ran really ignored it.

They drove all the way to the supermarket, and this time Song Zhi Xu took Lin Ran straight to the vegetable section before releasing him. 

Song Zhi Xu took out his phone and compared the things he needed on the nutritional menu and started putting them into the trolley.

Lin Ran followed beside him and followed his example, picking up the radishes on the shelf as he looked around, picking it out, but he couldn’t see the difference. 

The supermarket attendant next to him, came over and recommended something to him.

“This is radish fruit, it just arrived at the supermarket. It’s still fresh, crispy, sweet and juicy. It’s really delicious. Buy some?” 

Lin Ran blinked, his eyes lit up when he heard that it was delicious.

Without even thinking about it, he held the radish and bit on it and chewed on it a few times. The spicy hot taste of it, made him frown.
