A Snow Biscuit
Chapter 214 Shiniang's Weeping
As the roller coaster was about to reach its peak, Chen Yuan noticed that Old Mo next to him had a strange expression. It wasn't ordinary fear, but a pathological reaction.
Acrophobia?
Or perhaps…
Just as Chen Yuan was pondering this, the roller coaster reached its highest point and suddenly plunged down. The feeling of weightlessness threw Chen Yuan into a state where he couldn't think at all.
But he didn't feel any tension or excitement.
Even when the people behind him screamed their heads off, he felt no empathy.
After a series of twists, spirals, and drops, they finally reached the next slow ascent. Chen Yuan saw Old Mo beside him, his face contorted in pain, clutching his chest.
Eyesight!
Because Chen Yuan wasn't wearing his glasses, he could see straight through his skin. He wanted to go deeper, to see the heart directly, but just as he was about to penetrate, the roller coaster started to plummet again.
Crap, a heart condition.
Chen Yuan remembered.
When he had the ability to see lifespans, he discovered that Old Mo's lifespan was different from others, fluctuating by about 1 depending on his emotions.
At that time, he wanted to remind Old Mo, but since his lifespan was normal, he didn't say anything.
What if the daughter calling him "Dad" really did make him happy and increase his lifespan?
But now it seemed that wasn't the case at all.
Not good, not good at all.
So, after the roller coaster stopped, Chen Yuan immediately looked at Old Mo, who was clutching his chest in agony, and asked anxiously, "Teacher, are you alright?"
"..." Old Mo continued to frown, without saying a word. At the same time, his breathing became erratic.
"So exciting! So much more thrilling than the roller coaster in the park!"
"I want to play it again! So awesome!"
"Too scary, I dare not play it."
"Here!" Chen Yuan suddenly raised his hand and said loudly, "Quick, lift this up, someone is not feeling well!"
Chen Yuan's words shocked the people behind him.
When several students from Class 18 of Eleventh High School realized the problem, they all panicked.
Old Mo looked extremely pained!
The safety personnel hurriedly raised the safety restraint device, and Chen Yuan directly unbuckled his own seat belt and then unfastened Old Mo's. Then, together with Liu Yan, they carried the somewhat dazed Old Mo off the roller coaster and placed him on a chair in the waiting area.
As soon as they put him down, Old Mo collapsed onto the bench.
"Does anyone have nitroglycerin pills!" Chen Yuan shouted to everyone.
But the people on the ride and the disembarking tourists all looked at each other in confusion. After all, those who rode roller coasters didn't have heart problems, so how could they carry such things with them?
"I'll go find someone to borrow them from!" Then Tang Jian ran out of the roller coaster station, down the stairs, and started asking passersby at random.
Zhou Yu was worried that he wouldn't be enough on his own, so he followed him down, and they split up.
"I'm a medical student!" At that moment, a female college student raised her hand and ran over, standing next to Chen Yuan, and asked, "You're his student, right?"
"Yes," Chen Yuan nodded.
"Is he definitely having a heart attack?" the female college student continued to ask.
Sudden fainting could be caused by several things: low blood pressure or anemia, heart disease, or epilepsy.
Each situation required a different response.
And the most serious of these was heart disease.
"Medicine? Does he have medicine with him?" the female college student continued to ask.
"No," Chen Yuan had already used his vision and said with certainty.
Honestly, in his eyes, the medical student was already stark naked.
So he was very sorry.
But there was nothing he could do, life was more important than anything, and he didn't have time to get his glasses from his bag.
"Then..." Looking at Old Mo, the medical student was a little nervous. It wasn't that she didn't know what to do, but she was somewhat limited by public opinion.
"Liu Yan, record a video," Chen Yuan said to Liu Yan quickly.
"Okay, okay!" Liu Yan immediately did as he was told.
When Zhang Chao realized what Chen Yuan meant, he said, "Senior, I'm the class monitor, and we, the students, are willing to testify for you. Please, save our homeroom teacher."
With a video recording and so many witnesses, the medical student felt a little safer.
"Take off the teacher's shirt and lay him flat on the ground."
Seeing that the person had already gone into shock, the female medical student didn't delay any longer. She immediately squatted next to Old Mo, listened to his heartbeat with her ear, and said, "The heart rate is a bit low, and the rhythm is irregular. It should be myocardial ischemia..."
Hearing this, everyone started to worry.
Several girls in the class covered their faces, some even crying out of fear. They were really worried that Old Mo would die just like that...
It was really scary.
"Hello, 120? Yes." Although He Meng was also scared, she remained calm and called the ambulance, accurately describing the situation, "Middle-aged man in his forties, fainted after riding the roller coaster, slow heartbeat, irregular rhythm, seems to be myocardial ischemia... They went to borrow nitroglycerin pills, yes, okay..."
"We need to do CPR."
The female medical student's forehead was covered in sweat from nervousness. She wiped it with the back of her hand, then knelt next to Old Mo, placing her hands on his chest near the nipples and started chest compressions...
Activate Lifespan Vision!
Chen Yuan finally used this ability.
But after using it, he found the progress bar was very short, extremely short.
Only about half an hour.
Old Mo was going to die?
No.
Impossible!
He could live for a long time.
He still had his Xiao Dou Dou, Teacher Che Shujun couldn't live without him, Class 18 hadn't become the strongest parallel class, and the title of special-grade teacher that originally belonged to him hadn't been obtained yet...
Give it a try!
Chen Yuan stared at Old Mo's chest and decided to use Eyesight!
So, at thirty seconds, he saw the bloody heart, beating slowly.
Ugh… A feeling of nausea, about to surge up.
But Chen Yuan didn't shift his gaze, because doing so would refresh the Eyesight, and he would have to wait another half a minute to see inside again.
Calm down!
This is humanity!
Your favorite Xin Yu, your beloved parents, and Old Mo, who is like a mentor, all have blood and organs inside their bodies, connected by blood vessels, intertwined in a chaotic yet orderly manner.
Don't be afraid!
What you should fear most is death!
Releasing the hand covering his mouth, Chen Yuan continued to look at the man.
Then, he noticed that with each compression, the blood in the blood vessels, like a water pipe in a well, gurgled upwards a bit, flowing towards the right ventricle of the heart, but after the compression, the flow slowed down again. The blood supplied to the heart was still insufficient.
Was there a problem with the strength?
Was it too little?
But she was a professional medical student, and he should listen to her.
But she would also be afraid, nervous, and cautious.
Then, leave it to me and Chaozi!
"Let me do it."
As the medical student anxiously listened to the heartbeat and found no improvement, Chen Yuan suddenly appeared next to Old Mo, squatted down, and continued to stare at his heart.
"This requires a more professional technique..."
"You teach me the technique."
"Okay." The female college student also felt that she wasn't using enough strength, so she didn't continue to insist, nodded, and handed it over to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan followed her guidance and pressed down on the outside of his chest with both hands.
Progress bar, activated.
The strength used slowly increased, although it looked no different, it was actually twice as strong as before.
Sure enough, the blood flow suddenly accelerated. Like pumping air into a balloon, the speed of filling was greater than the speed of leaking.
Then, continue.
No, too fast.
When he saw that the blood flow was too fast, causing the heart to beat too violently, Chen Yuan adjusted the force again.
The use of the progress bar needed to be coordinated with Eyesight, otherwise it would be like a bursting balloon, causing even more serious damage.
Continue.
Peaceful, forceful, rhythmic, continuous compression...
It could be seen that the blood, like water from a faucet, gradually increased in speed and flowed smoothly.
Chen Yuan found the most suitable force, allowing the blood supply to Old Mo's atria to gradually return to normal.
And the heartbeat gradually accelerated, and was no longer as slow and irregular as before.
"How many times does the heart beat per second, is that reasonable?" Chen Yuan asked without looking up.
"Once a second, or three times every two seconds," the medical student replied directly.
Thump, thump, thump.
After counting, Chen Yuan found that Old Mo's heart was beating more than once a second.
But not three times within two seconds.
It was a median value.
Then, he activated Lifespan Vision.
Then, a smile crept onto the corner of his mouth.
"?" The medical student was stunned, confused as to why this boy was smiling, wasn't his teacher still unconscious?
Just as she was thinking this, Chen Yuan stood up, walked over to his classmates, put his hands on his hips, closed his eyes, swallowed, and made a dry "Uh..." sound in his throat, as if he had just run a long race.
It really was draining.
Using two weakened superpowers continuously for so long, coupled with the high level of tension, and seeing such a bloody scene, his hands were shaking now...
"I, what's wrong with me?"
Just as everyone was wondering why Chen Yuan suddenly stopped, Old Mo slowly opened his eyes and asked.
"Ah! Teacher is awake!"
"That's great, really great!"
"Chen Yuan must have smiled because he felt the heartbeat return to normal..."
Old Mo was a little dazed, and after being helped by Liu Yan and Zhang Chao, he slowly sat down on the chair. Then, he embarrassedly took the clothes handed over by a girl, put them on, and buttoned them up...
"I haven't drunk from it," He Meng said, seeing Chen Yuan looked thirsty, and handed him a bottle of water.
"Thank you."
Chen Yuan took the water, opened the lid, took a sip without putting it to his mouth, and then returned it to He Meng.
Then, he closed his eyes again and slowly breathed a sigh of relief...
Old Mo almost died.
Luckily there was Chaozi.
Dou Dou, Shiniang Che Shujun, the important people in your lives, won't leave suddenly.
Damn it, this was much more dangerous than saving Xin Yu that time.
"Nitroglycerin pills!" Tang Jian and Zhou Yu ran back and hurriedly gave the medicine to Old Mo.
Old Mo was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Teacher," the medical student asked, "Didn't you know you had heart disease?"
"Ah?" Old Mo asked in confusion, "I don't have heart disease. I have an electrocardiogram every year during the employee physical examination, and I'm fine."
"It's not like that," the female medical student explained, "There are many heart diseases that don't show up clearly on an electrocardiogram. For example, some mild coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, etc., won't have a clear diagnosis on an electrocardiogram."
"So, I just fainted?" Old Mo asked blankly.
"Shock."
Hearing this word, several male students gathered around, with Zhang Chao taking the initiative to apologize, "I'm sorry, Teacher, we shouldn't have forced you to ride the roller coaster. We didn't know you had heart disease..."
Hearing this, Old Mo immediately became serious, "What does this have to do with you! I didn't even know about it myself, how could you know? Go play, I'm fine."
Zhang Chao and the other boys were still worried, "But..."
"Zhang Chao, take them to play, He Meng, you take the girls, go."
Old Mo waved his hand, drove the students away, and swallowed a few nitroglycerin pills. He gave an apologetic smile and said to the medical student, "Thank you, you saved me, right?"
"No."
The female medical student shook her head and replied, "I didn't discover that you had heart disease. I did try chest compressions, but they didn't improve anything. It was that boy who did it."
The girl wasn't taking credit, and she was very surprised.
This teacher didn't even know he had heart disease himself, so he definitely hadn't told anyone else.
So why was this boy so sure that he had heart disease?
Also, he smiled just now because the heart rate returned to normal.
In other words, he didn't even listen, and just estimated that the teacher's heartbeat had subtly improved based on his sense of touch.
Normal and regular.
Wasn't that…
A natural medical prodigy?!
"That boy?"
Old Mo was a little confused, then slowly turned his head and saw Chen Yuan standing next to the track, staring blankly, his hands still trembling slightly.
He didn't ask for credit, nor did he shout excitedly like the other girls, but he had an expression of ‘lucky to be alive’ rejoicing, as if he was really afraid that he was going to die...
Only lingering fear.
"Well, Teacher, I'll go first," the medical student waved her hand, intending to leave.
"Wait, I haven't thanked you yet, at least leave a contact..."
"Forget it." The medical student smiled and said somewhat embarrassedly, "My skills aren't proficient enough yet, so I won't embarrass my alma mater."
"How can that be, you must..."
"You sit down and rest! Don't get up, I'll go."
And just like that, the girl left.
And Old Mo looked at Chen Yuan and slowly opened his mouth, "Chen Yuan."
"Ah?" Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, turned around, put his hands in his pockets, looked at Old Mo, and nodded.
"Just now..."
Old Mo was about to say something, but a phone call came.
It was still from Teacher Che Shujun.
He was a little nervous and didn't dare to answer.
"Shiniang would be very worried if she received news from the hospital, right?" Chen Yuan said.
Hearing this, Old Mo immediately answered, not delaying for even a second.
"Teacher Mo, what's wrong? The hospital called me and said you fainted?" Teacher Che Shujun's voice trembled.
"This..."
"Tell the truth so people don't overthink." After thinking about how Xin Yu would react, Chen Yuan added.
Old Mo, who was just about to lie, was exposed and could only helplessly respond, "I know."
"Know what?" the person on the phone asked in confusion.
"Me ah..." Old Mo was about to say something, so he unconsciously looked at Chen Yuan, actually waiting for him to remind him. But Chen Yuan also received a call, smiled, and gave himself a thumbs-up, then went down from the platform and left.
"What's wrong? Say something," Che Shujun was anxious and almost cried, her tone becoming more and more worried.
After adjusting slightly, Old Mo said, "Haven't I always been afraid of heights? Then I rode a roller coaster today. Because I was a little scared, and my heart was a little messed up, I panicked for a while..."
"Would the hospital send an ambulance just because you panicked?"
"...Okay, I'll tell you, but don't worry."
"Tell me."
"I went into shock for a while."
"Shock?! Then, then, then... are you awake now?"
After Che Shujun finished speaking, she realized how stupid she was and quickly added, "No, what am I saying? What I mean is, what's wrong with you? You have a physical examination every year, and I haven't heard anything about your heart."
"I met a medical student, and she said that some heart diseases can't be detected by a normal electrocardiogram. Of course, I'm fine now, and I've taken nitroglycerin pills. Cancel the ambulance, we'll go to the hospital tomorrow to make an appointment and check it out again." Because the students weren't there, Old Mo said with a smile to reassure her.
"Are you really okay?"
"Do I sound like I'm having problems?"
"Then we'll go for a good checkup tomorrow."
"Yes, okay, don't tell Xiao Dou Dou."
"I know. So, the person who saved you, was it that medical student?"
"She helped to some extent, but..." Old Mo recalled the way Chen Yuan's hands were trembling, and said seriously, "But it was mainly Chen Yuan. He used the most timely CPR to wake me up. If it wasn't for him... it really would have been dangerous."
Chen Yuan wasn't here, so Old Mo could say these words.
If he was here, he would be embarrassed to some extent.
"Thank goodness, fortunately there was this child. I said before, he has a bit of a doctor's talent."
"You were talking about a veterinarian before..."
"Okay, give him the phone, I'll talk to him."
"This isn't necessary, I'll tell him..."
"Your way of expressing gratitude is too reserved, especially to students, give him the phone."
"...Okay, then wait a moment."
Old Mo hung up the phone, and then, under the nervous gazes of the staff, he walked out of the station and down the steps.
Then, he saw Chen Yuan standing under a sign, kicking the grass while talking on the phone...
Were you some kind of son-in-law visiting for the first time?
Old Mo walked over, ready to call him.
Then, he heard.
"I miss you, Xin Bao, I'm coming to find you now."
"It's okay, the teacher's not next to me. Even if he is, what can he do to me?"
"The school teachers are very snobbish, and they can't wait for every student in our school to have a Fourth High School female academic tutor."
"Cough cough." Old Mo coughed twice, as a reminder.
"..."
Chen Yuan froze, slowly turned around, looked at Old Mo, paused, and said, "Yes, our teacher is very capable."
Yes, I'm snobbish, I don't crack down on romance when it involves girls from Fourth High School.
"You talk first." Old Mo didn't bother Chen Yuan.
"Um, Xia Xinyu, I have something to do, I'll ask you for advice later."
Chen Yuan hung up the phone, then looked at Old Mo somewhat flusteredly, "Teacher, are you okay?"
Old Mo averted his gaze slightly, dialed the phone, and handed it to Chen Yuan, "Your shiniang has something to say to you."
"...Oh." Chen Yuan took the phone and walked to the side.
And Old Mo went to the sign, observing Chen Yuan while unconsciously kicking the grass...
"Ah, yes, it's me, don't cry, don't cry, it's alright now."
Don't cry, don't cry?
How did it sound like he was coaxing a little girl...
Old Mo felt that Chen Yuan was becoming more and more arrogant.
"Teacher Mo isn't being stubborn, it's our fault, we had to drag him to ride the roller coaster, he just didn't want to disappoint us, so..."
Hearing this, Old Mo blushed with embarrassment.
Then, he immediately pretended to greet a team leader, actively staying away from Chen Yuan, no longer listening to the phone call.
Why were you helping me clear my name, kid? Really, really unnecessary!
Old Mo really was a typical Xiong Da ghost, he couldn't stand listening to it, so he fled north in a hurry.
Trash, trash.
"I'm really grateful to you, Chen Yuan. When I think that Dou Dou and I wouldn't have Teacher Mo, I..." As she spoke, Shiniang started sobbing again, her tone filled with gratitude, "You saved so many people, without you... I really don't know what I would have done."
"Shiniang doesn't need to say that, Teacher Mo is just blessed by the heavens. Moreover, he is so responsible and dedicated to us, everyone hopes he is well," Chen Yuan said modestly.
"Xiao Chen," Che Shujun stopped sobbing and sincerely invited, "After Teacher Mo is checked out, come to my house for dinner, I'll make a big table of delicious food for you."
"Oh, this, this is really too much..."
"Listen to me!"
These three gentle and domineering words stunned Chen Yuan.
Wait, why do I have to listen?
But strangely, I suddenly felt that I should listen...
I simply couldn't resist gentle people.
"Then, then okay," Chen Yuan said with a smile, "I'll take you up on that, Shiniang."
"Mm-hmm, that's a good boy."
"..." After being praised, Chen Yuan even wanted to be patted on the head.
Wait, I'm not Yu Zi!
Don't manipulate me, Shujun, I'm the pillar of the Chen family (Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu's home), the head of the household, I don't have any authority if you do this.
"Then give the phone to your teacher."
"Mm, okay."
Chen Yuan did as he was told, walked to Old Mo, and returned the phone to him.
The person on the other end of the line took the phone, said something, and then hung up.
Looking at this serious man, he was a little afraid.
And a little embarrassed.
It was very difficult for men to express their feelings.
Saying too much or too little would be a little awkward.
Especially Old Mo, it would undoubtedly be difficult for him to elaborate on anything outside of teaching.
Even when this kind of person cared about people, they would use that serious face.
Giving you a shopping card, he would say that he didn't have time to go, instead of saying that students had it hard and should use it to improve their lives.
Driving you somewhere, he would say that he was just passing by, instead of saying that it was too much trouble to take the bus and there was a seat in his car.
Even if he was giving you special tutoring, he would have to justify it with a ‘this is the school's special assistant student system.’
This kind of person, unable to express their feelings with words, or even with inner monologue.
They used action.
Just as Chen Yuan was thinking this, a rough hand, worn smooth by holding chalk for too long, touched the back of his neck.
Then, Old Mo smiled completely for the first time and said, "Bring Xin Yu and come to my house for dinner on Sunday."
