Chapter 18 part 1
Looking at the braised hairtail dish, Yu Li felt inexplicably afraid.
He normally did not find the fishy smell intolerable, but now he always felt the flavor was too intense, and he even dared not to breathe.
Did the chef not handle it well today?
"Yu Li, are you okay?" Yan Sui looked at Yu Li's rapidly paling face with concern.
"I'm fine." Yu Li covered his mouth, looked at his three roommates, and stood up. "I'll go downstairs to buy some medicine, you guys eat first."
Without caring about their reaction, Yu Li hurriedly fled the dormitory.
There was a pharmacy downstairs, and Yu Li bought some gastrointestinal medication. As he walked out, he saw a certain brand of plum juice in the convenience store's refrigerator.
He often ordered this plum juice when dining out with his roommates for hotpot or barbecue - it was quite expensive, 10 yuan per cup, but the sour-sweet taste was refreshing and could help with the greasy feeling.
Recalling the smell, Yu Li couldn't help but walk into the convenience store and buy a cup.
Sitting on a bench by the tree-lined avenue, Yu Li took a big sip of the plum juice, and the urge to feel nauseous and sick seemed to be suppressed a bit.
But it was only a little, and soon he still felt nauseous and weak, his body also breaking out in cold sweat.
Yu Li sighed lightly, leaning back on the bench and looking up at the leaves overhead.
The scenery on the tree-lined avenue was nice, with tall camphor trees on both sides, the foliage dense enough to block the glaring sun at noon.
With his eyes closed, Yu Li endured the discomfort, his body slightly trembling.
In a daze, he heard the sound of a car stopping, then felt someone walking in front of him.
Yu Li slightly opened his eyes, first seeing the person's black custom-made suit, then looking up to see Yan Shiting standing against the light.
That handsome face was without a single expression, the brows furrowed, the thin lips pressed tight.
Yu Li was not sure why Yan Shiting was here, and with such a cold demeanor.
He bit his lip, lowered his gaze, and wanted to get up and leave with his medicine and plum juice.
However, as soon as he moved, the nausea hit him again.
Yu Li had to run to the nearby trash can, bending over to vomit a few mouthfuls of gastric juice.
This morning, he had only drank a bowl of millet porridge, and now aside from gastric juice and bile, he couldn't vomit anything else.
Yu Li couldn't control the tears flowing down his face.
He bit his lip, silently crying, when suddenly someone handed him a bottle of water and a pack of tissues.
He didn't need to think to know who it was.
"I'll take you to the hospital." Yan Shiting's voice was icy cold.
Yu Li didn't want to have any more contact with him.
He straightened up, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and said, "It's not necessary, it's just a gastrointestinal issue, I'll go to the infirmary."
He turned to leave, but the next second, Yan Shiting grabbed his arm, then reached under his knees and lifted him up in a bridal carry.
Yu Li had no strength in his body, and before he could resist, he was carried by Yan Shiting towards the Bentley parked by the road.
Yu Li was completely stunned.
When he was placed in the backseat, he saw Yan Shiting getting in, and tightening his fist, asked in bewilderment, "Didn't you promise me...?"
Yan Shiting raised the partition between the driver's seat, and replied, "I did promise you that nothing happened that night."
Yan Shiting gave him a cursory glance, his voice still low, "But I didn't promise to not care about you."
Yu Li didn't understand.
Care about him in what capacity?
Apparently sensing Yu Li's inner thoughts, Yan Shiting averted his gaze and said, "Because you are Yan Sui's good friend, since he said so, I won't ignore you."
Yu Li pressed his lips, "Yan Sui asked you to come?"
Yan Shiting hummed in affirmation, turning his head without further comment.
Although Yan Sui had only asked the butler to send over a meal.
But he was still worried.
Yu Li also didn't say anything else.
Yan Sui didn't know what happened between him and his brother, so he was just being kind.
The car had already left the Y University campus.
Yu Li was already nauseous, and the swaying of the car made him feel even worse.
He leaned against the car window, dozing off. After a while, he felt the car slowing down and driving steadily.
Yu Li sighed in relief, lightly drifting off to sleep. When he woke up, the car had stopped in front of a hospital.
He followed behind Yan Shiting and entered an office, where he saw the person sitting inside and slightly hesitated, "Doctor Xu?"
Why was he seeing Doctor Xu, the Yan family's family doctor, here?
Doctor Xu adjusted his glasses and smiled, "Young master."
Yan Shiting closed the office door and said, "He's having gastrointestinal discomfort, do a checkup for him."
"What kind of discomfort?" Doctor Xu gestured for Yu Li to sit down.
Yu Li looked at the standing Yan Shiting, then described his symptoms.
"Sounds like gastroenteritis, let's do an ultrasound check."
Doctor Xu wrote a requisition form, then got up and led Yu Li to the adjacent ultrasound room.
As he guided Yu Li to lie on the examination bed, he said, "This ultrasound room is specially set up for the Yan family members, after all, it's a hospital under the Yan Group."
"You can do the examination here, I'm sure the Young Master won't mind."
Yu Li listened quietly, then lifted the hem of his T-shirt, seeing Doctor Xu take out the coupling agent and transducer, and was surprised again.
"Doctor Xu, you can do this too?"
Doctor Xu smiled proudly, "Humbly, I am a master of all medical fields."
No wonder he was qualified to be the Yan family's specially hired family doctor, with such a high salary.
Yu Li couldn't help but chuckle a little, his tense and nervous mood gradually relaxing.
Doctor Xu applied the coupling agent to the transducer and began the examination.
However, as time passed, the previously proud and self-assured Doctor Xu's expression gradually became one of confusion, his brow furrowed as he remained silent.
When the report was printed, Doctor Xu was still frowning and did not speak.
Yu Li looked at him like this, his heart also starting to feel afraid.
As the saying goes, it's not doctors joking with you that's scary, it's when they frown and shake their heads in front of you.
Could it be that he had some kind of terminal illness?
