Chapter 298 - Hiccup
Chapter 298: Hiccup
Su Yayan burst out laughing. “How long have you been hiccuping? You’ve been hiccuping ever since you entered.”
Xu Yanjun opened her mouth and was about to say something when she couldn’t help but hiccup again.
The courage that she had worked so hard to build up was instantly deflated by this hiccup. She said pitifully, “It started a few days ago. At first, I didn’t take it to heart. I didn’t expect it to get worse these two days. Burp ~ ~”
Xu Yanjun burped as she spoke. It was fine when she did not speak earlier, but now that she did, it was as if a switch had been turned on. She would do it every few seconds.
Without hiccuping once, Xu Yanjun could not stop shaking. She looked so funny and pitiful.
“The symptoms of hiccups are also known as Er Ni in Chinese medicine. There are many reasons for the hiccups. It could be due to fear of the cold, or it could be due to gastric fire. Give me your hand and let me take your pulse.”
“You know how to read her pulse?” Ye Qiliang exclaimed. He stared at Su Yayan as if she was a talking doll.
Su Yayan was speechless. “…I just know a little.”
When Xu Yanjun heard Su Yayan’s words, she subconsciously glanced at her teacher and realized that he wasn’t paying attention to her at all. She turned to look at her senior for help.
Peng Jiazhi’s expression changed slightly when he saw the junior’s pleading gaze. He comforted her softly, “It’s okay, we’re all here. She won’t do anything to you. Our dean is an authoritative figure in this area. If she doesn’t have any real talent and dares to exaggerate in front of the dean, isn’t she just seeking her own death? Besides, didn’t you also watch the livestream’s recording earlier? Maybe she really has a way.”
After hearing him say so much, Xu Yanjun’s heart calmed down slightly and she reached out her hand.
Su Yayan pinched her wrist and examined it carefully. She soon came to a conclusion. “Did you eat something cold recently?”
“Something cold?” Xu Yanjun thought back to the food she had eaten in the past few days and asked, “Is crab… counted?”
“Yes.” Su Yayan retracted her hand. “Your body is weak to begin with. You’re congenitally deficient and have a weak constitution. It’s winter now, and crabs are cold food, especially sea crabs. The effect is even better. When you eat sea crabs, did you not even put in any garlic ginger?”
Xu Yanjun was stunned and nodded subconsciously.
Her uncle was a businessman who ran a business. When he came back from the seaside city at the end of the year, he brought along a few especially huge crabs. He said that they were especially delicious, and each family shared a few to try.
That thing looked scary, and her mother did not know how to cook it. She just boiled some water, steamed it, and added some salt.
Now that Su Yayan mentioned it, she suddenly remembered that the night she had eaten the crabs, her stomach had indeed felt unwell. It had pulled twice.
The next day, he started hiccuping!
“It’s best to add ginger, vinegar, and baijiu when eating seafood. Otherwise, it won’t only taste fishy, but it’ll also be cold and hard to suppress.”
Xu Yanjun looked embarrassed. She had not eaten seafood for the past few years, so how could she know about these taboos?
She did not think that this would have anything to do with her uncle. After all, her uncle had good intentions and indeed shared some with each family.
Other people would have no problem eating it, but she was the only one who had a problem eating it. This could be considered a bad thing.
“It’s not a big problem. I’ll give you an injection first and get someone to prepare some medicinal cuisine to warm your stomach.”
