USWHC -Chapter 60 The Big White Jade Radish (Part 10)

“What’s all this screaming and howling?” A low voice suddenly sounded, carrying an unmistakable note of annoyance.

In the next moment, the room lit up. The weak light flickered like a small bean, barely illuminating the shadowy face of a hawk-like man, smoke curling around him as if he were hidden behind a misty veil.

Yet, despite this, Elder Brother Ji showed him extraordinary respect. He forcibly suppressed his fear, deliberately baring his teeth in a fawning smile, bowing slightly while rubbing his hands together: “Doctor Sun, you’re here!”

Through the smoke, a faint glow flickered again. This time, however, Elder Brother Ji could see clearly—Doctor Sun was holding a small smoking pipe, puffing away.

Elder Brother Ji greedily inhaled twice, as if simply breathing in the smoke were a privilege he could take.

Doctor Sun shot him a look of disgust and asked, his voice barely coming through his nose, “What do you want with me?”

Elder Brother Ji gave an awkward laugh. “Doctor Sun, my mother sent me to ask you for a favor!” He lowered his head and glanced cautiously at Doctor Sun, who remained completely indifferent, as if he hadn’t heard a word.

But Elder Brother Ji shamelessly continued, “A woman in our family is pregnant, and my mother asked me to have Doctor Sun check how many months it’s been!”

Hearing this, Doctor Sun’s already cold expression darkened instantly. He gave Elder Brother Ji a free, full-on glare and pushed the smoking pipe onto the floor, slowly rising from his recliner.

Elder Brother Ji assumed Doctor Sun would accompany him, but to his surprise, Doctor Sun didn’t even look at him. He simply turned and walked into the inner room. Panic rising, Elder Brother Ji called out anxiously, “Doctor Sun! Doctor Sun!”

Doctor Sun spat coldly and said in a chilling voice, “I’m not going!”

It was crisp, direct, and detached—proudly indifferent. Yet Elder Brother Ji wasn’t angry at all. He had already anticipated this answer. Everyone within ten miles knew Doctor Sun had a fierce temper; whether he treated someone depended entirely on his mood.

Elder Brother Ji sighed. Looks like Doctor Sun isn’t in a good mood today.

As Doctor Sun entered the room, he froze for a moment. Moonlight revealed a figure already standing by the window.

Doctor Sun didn’t speak immediately. He tilted his ear, listening carefully, and once he confirmed Elder Brother Ji had stepped out, he lowered his voice and called, “Sir!”

The figure in the room turned slightly and gave him a single, faint glance. In a surprisingly succinct tone, he said, “Go examine him.”

Doctor Sun blinked in slight surprise, immediately bowing respectfully. “At once, sir!”

His disdain and coldness vanished. Now, he looked even more reverent than Elder Brother Ji. In this freezing weather, he even knelt on the ground to salute.

Before he could rise, the figure at the window added, “No matter how many days the child has been, you can only say two days.”

“Two days?” Doctor Sun was taken aback, unable to resist questioning: “Can pregnancy be detected in just two days?”

Instinct as a physician made him skeptical. Two days was impossible; even the legendary Hua Tuo wouldn’t have managed it. Among these ignorant village women, two months would make sense, but two days?

“Yes. The child can only be two days,” the figure at the window said decisively.

Doctor Sun cautiously looked up, studying the man by the window. Cold brows, piercing eyes, lips pressed thin—there was an undeniable aura of authority. Though still skeptical, he obediently replied, “Understood!”

The man at the window finally smiled lightly. Only in that smile could one realize it was Ji Yi. Yes—this relaxed smile still carried a trace of his original, simple charm, but it was faint, no longer foolish, but rather a clever, knowing smile.

Seeing him agree, Ji Yi said nothing further. He pushed open the window and leapt out, vanishing into the dim, snowy expanse with a single, graceful bound.
