"Be a good girl, baby. Are you feeling unwell? We'll go to the hospital right away."
Seeing Shen Nanyi crying, Zhao Shuyan got anxious too. She held Shen Nanyi in her arms, cooing and comforting her, feeling extremely heart - broken.
Since she was born, Shen Nanyi rarely cried. She would only cry when she was hungry or had a wet diaper, and would stop crying and smile right away after being taken care of. Such intense crying had never happened before, which worried Zhao Shuyan sick.
As she said this, the couple quickly packed up and prepared to take Shen Nanyi to the hospital.
Shen Nanyi stopped crying. With her big eyes, she looked at Zhao Shuyan, hoping that Zhao Shuyan could understand her. She really had nothing wrong with her!
"Husband, look. The baby is so unwell that she can't even cry. Let's hurry to the hospital!"
Zhao Shuyan did notice the change in Shen Nanyi and got even more anxious. She didn't bother to pack up the rest of the things and rushed out of the door.
"..."
Snuggled in Zhao Shuyan's arms, Shen Nanyi felt quite melancholy. When she cried, she was considered sick; when she stopped crying, she was still considered sick. What kind of logic was this?
She forced herself to stay calm and not to speak, otherwise she would be regarded as a monster. Shen Nanyi started to brainwash herself.
Going to the hospital was okay. It was also spending money on herself and could help her complete the task. It wasn't that bad!
After spending a full half - hour doing mental preparation, the moment she smelled the disinfectant at the hospital entrance, Shen Nanyi's mental defense collapsed. She really didn't like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital!
This time, Shen Nanyi really cried, and she cried heart - rendingly.
She really was just thinking! She wasn't sick!
"Wait a moment, baby. It'll be our turn soon."
Sitting outside the emergency room, Zhao Shuyan was on tenterhooks. She held Shen Nanyi in her arms and kept looking at the ward door, hoping that the patient inside would come out quickly.
In all her long life, this was the first time Shen Nanyi had to queue up when going to the hospital. This rare experience gave Shen Nanyi a sudden burst of energy, and her crying softened a bit.
Finally, it was Shen Nanyi's turn. The doctor examined her for a long time but found nothing wrong. He said that the child was in good health.
Finally, someone could prove that she was healthy. Shen Nanyi let out a long sigh of relief. But Shen Yi and his wife were still not at ease and demanded a comprehensive examination. The doctor had no choice but to agree.
Shen Nanyi was completely desperate. What on earth could she do to make people believe that she was healthy and not sick?!
At first, Shen Nanyi comforted herself that she just had to endure it. But when she saw the blood - drawing station, she couldn't stay calm anymore.
God knew that although Miss Shen was afraid of nothing, she was afraid of blood. She tightly grabbed Shen Yi's arm with both hands, pinning all her hopes on Shen Yi, hoping that he could understand her.
"Be good. It'll be over soon."
Gently removing Shen Nanyi's little hands, Shen Yi thought that she was scared.
"..."
Shen Nanyi finally understood what despair felt like. She tightly closed her eyes. The moment the needle went in, a voice sounded in Shen Nanyi's mind.
"Consumption of 200 yuan is successful. The remaining target is 1,999,800 yuan. The progress is 0.01%."
Although Shen Nanyi should have been happy that there was finally some progress, she couldn't be happy at all. After making such a great sacrifice, it was only 0.01%?!
The moment they walked out of the hospital, Shen Nanyi let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, the ordeal was over.
"I know a very good traditional Chinese medicine doctor. How about taking Nanyi to see him?"
Looking carefully at the examination report in her hand, Zhao Shuyan was still not at ease and wanted to take Shen Nanyi to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
"..."
Shen Nanyi really wanted to say that it was completely unnecessary. Now she finally understood what it meant to have sufferings that one couldn't tell.
Fortunately, Shen Yi didn't quite agree. He said that they should wait and see. The child was still too young to take traditional Chinese medicine.
Shen Nanyi almost knelt down in front of Shen Yi. With teary eyes, she looked at her father.
There was a lottery shop at the entrance of the community. When Shen Nanyi saw the lottery shop, she couldn't take her eyes off it. She tugged at Shen Yi hard, trying to make Shen Yi understand her intention.
After all, they had won 500 yuan last time. Maybe they would be luckier this time, and then the task would be saved.
"Our baby is so smart. We haven't redeemed the prize from last time, right? Let's go redeem it now."
Gently patting Shen Nanyi, Shen Yi really carried her into the lottery shop.
"You're really lucky. How about buying another lottery ticket?"
The owner of the lottery shop was a chubby middle - aged woman. She smiled as she spoke and quickly redeemed the money for Shen Nanyi.
Hearing that they were going to buy a lottery ticket, Shen Nanyi got excited and babbled.
"Okay, buy one. Make it a random one."
Feeling Shen Nanyi's joy and curiosity, Shen Yi readily bought a lottery ticket and walked out with it.
The smiling Shen Nanyi suddenly burst into tears and reached out her hand to grab the shopkeeper.
Even if she was lucky, it was not certain that she would win with just one ticket. Buying a few more would be safer.
Shen Yi stopped in his tracks because of the sudden crying, and then Shen Nanyi stopped crying.
After several rounds of such testing, it was always the same. When he walked, she would cry.
"How about buying another one?"
Zhao Shuyan tentatively suggested. She thought that might be what Shen Nanyi meant.
The lottery shop owner quickly printed out another ticket and handed it to Shen Nanyi. Clutching the lottery ticket, Shen Nanyi smiled, and her smile melted the shopkeeper's heart.
"I didn't know you were a little lottery fan."
Pinching the tip of Shen Nanyi's nose, Shen Yi didn't dare to use any strength for fear of hurting the little girl.
Originally, they thought they could finally go home. But unexpectedly, Shen Nanyi started crying again when they reached the door. This time, Shen Yi understood immediately and quickly carried her back.
Snuggling in Shen Yi's arms and whining, Shen Nanyi felt no shame at all.
She was still a child. Crying was perfectly normal!
Shen Yi understood right away this time and quickly bought another ticket. The lottery shop owner looked at Shen Nanyi with such friendliness. She was like a little money - making god!
Finally, the lottery shop owner felt embarrassed and even gave Shen Nanyi a free ticket.
Holding a full 100 lottery tickets, Shen Yi felt like a big lottery - buying tycoon for the first time. Look at this grandeur. How many ordinary people could have this?
Shen Nanyi was smiling happily. She had bought lottery tickets before and always won. She was a lottery expert. She just had to wait for the lottery draw in the evening. Shen Nanyi was extremely looking forward to the evening.
In order to achieve her great goal, Shen Nanyi stayed on the living - room sofa after getting home. No matter where they tried to take her, she wouldn't go. She was waiting for the lottery draw.
So, at the time of the lottery draw in the evening, the whole Shen family sat neatly on the sofa watching the live broadcast.
Because there were so many lottery tickets, Shen Yi specially took out a small notebook and planned to write down the numbers.
After 10 p.m., the lottery draw started on time. Shen Yi felt a little excited for the first time.
With so many lottery tickets, they should at least win back the cost, right?
At this moment, Shen Yi and Shen Nanyi had high hopes for the lottery, not fully aware of their bad luck.
It was only when the lottery draw results were out in the evening that they understood what it meant to experience great ups and downs and to be extremely unlucky.
