Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten-Chapter 190: The Same Illness

The doctor looked at the report in his hands. “Since that’s the case, I won’t prescribe any medication for Second Miss. Medicine always has side effects, so if you can regulate it yourself, that’s the best option.”

Jiang Qian’s lips parted slightly. “No, prescribe something. Just give me some calcium tablets, but take off the label. And don’t tell anyone about this, especially my sister and Xiaomeng.”

The doctor, understanding that this was an embarrassing matter for a young girl, nodded. “Alright, I’ll find some medicine. Please wait a moment.”

With that, he left the room.

Outside the examination room, Jiang Jingshi and Fang Meng stood together.

Jiang Jingshi frowned anxiously and asked Fang Meng, who had some knowledge of both Chinese and Western medicine, “The doctor mentioned that high dopamine levels can cause neurological disorders. That sounds really serious. Should I be worried?”

Fang Meng recalled the monitor readings from earlier and had a vague suspicion of what was going on. However, since she had left the room before the results were fully explained, she didn’t want to jump to conclusions.

“Don’t worry, Miss Jiang. The doctor will be out soon. I don’t think it’s anything serious. I could understand some of the monitor’s readings earlier, and they definitely weren’t at the level to cause neurological disorders.”

Jiang Jingshi felt somewhat relieved. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, it’s definitely not that serious. The data doesn’t lie.”

Just then, the doctor opened the door and stepped out. Jiang Jingshi and Fang Meng immediately approached him, with Jiang Jingshi quickly asking, “How is my sister?”

The doctor smiled, and with that, most of their worries dissipated.

“It’s nothing serious. She’s probably just been overworking herself and hasn’t been getting enough rest. Her body is a bit fatigued. I’m getting her some medicine, and she should recover in a few days.”

Jiang Jingshi pressed for details. “It’s just exhaustion?”

The doctor nodded. “Yes. Her focus on certain matters has been too intense, leading to mental fatigue and an increased heart rate. It’s not a medical condition.”

Hearing this, Jiang Jingshi finally relaxed completely, and Fang Meng also let out a sigh of relief.

After thanking the doctor, they went back into the room. By now, Jiang Qian had composed herself and stepped out.

Jiang Jingshi asked, “The doctor said you’ve been too exhausted lately? This is the first time you’ve pushed yourself to the point of going to the hospital. Looks like I can’t let you bury yourself in studying all day anymore.”

Jiang Qian felt her face burn with embarrassment but quickly put on a cold expression and responded, “It’s nothing serious. I’ve just been too focused on the college entrance exams and haven’t been resting properly. Once the exams are over, this won’t happen again. By the way, why are you here?”

“As soon as I got Xiaomeng’s call saying your heart was acting up, I dropped everything at the company and rushed over. Good thing it was just a false alarm.”

Seeing her sister’s concern, Jiang Qian felt a warmth in her heart. Though the two often bickered at home, family was still family.

“I’m really fine. You should head back to work. I’ll go home and rest for a bit.”

Jiang Jingshi nodded. “Wait for the doctor to bring your medicine, then go home. If you’re feeling too tired tomorrow, you don’t have to—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Jiang Qian immediately interrupted, “No! I’m going!”

Opportunities to spend a long time with Lin Zhengran were already rare. But tomorrow, not only would she be performing on stage with him, but they would also be giving a speech together. On top of that, a male classmate was planning a confession.

She would practically be spending the entire day with Lin Zhengran. There was no way she was missing that—not even if a zombie apocalypse broke out. Even if the world was ending, she’d pilot a helicopter to that graduation ceremony if she had to.

Jiang Jingshi saw her sister’s determined expression and didn’t argue further.

However, a small sense of suspicion grew in her mind. When the doctor returned, she asked, “Will attending the graduation ceremony tomorrow be okay for my sister?”

As the doctor handed over the medicine, he naturally agreed. “It’ll be fine. In fact, it’s better if she goes—it won’t affect her daily life.”

Jiang Qian took the medicine and left the hospital with Xiaomeng.

She practically fled.

This whole situation was just too humiliating. Not another second could she stand in that place.

Who the hell gets hospitalized for lovesickness? She needed to get home and lie down immediately. If word of this got out, she’d never be able to show her face again.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jingshi stayed behind.

She turned back to the doctor, her expression serious. “What’s really going on? You said she just needed rest, but then you also said attending the graduation ceremony would be better. What exactly caused my sister’s heart discomfort? You weren’t completely honest with me earlier, were you?”

The doctor hesitated, his smile turning awkward.

He could see that Jiang Jingshi wasn’t someone he could brush off with vague answers. On top of that, this hospital was partially funded by her investments—she was technically one of the shareholders.

But he had promised Second Miss that he wouldn’t tell anyone.

So, the doctor chose an alternative solution—he let the nurse explain.

If the nurse said it, then technically, he hadn’t broken his promise.

The young nurse leaned over and whispered the whole story into Jiang Jingshi’s ear.

Jiang Jingshi’s initially serious expression slowly shifted into something strange. Her eyes widened in shock.

“Lovesickness? That’s considered an actual illness?”

The nurse nodded. “Yes. Miss Jiang Qian’s focus is naturally stronger than most people’s, and lately, she has been missing a certain someone far too much, which led to today’s situation.

“Dopamine secretion naturally causes excitement. Second Miss probably had a certain kind of dream last night or did something that triggered excessive dopamine release, which is why her heart was affected.”

Jiang Jingshi paused for half a minute before suddenly bursting into laughter.

She covered her mouth with the back of her hand, trying to suppress her amusement. “My sister is way too funny.”

The doctor chuckled awkwardly. “Just so you know, I didn’t tell you this. I promised Second Miss I wouldn’t say anything, so please don’t tell her it was me.”

Jiang Jingshi glanced at him, cleared her throat, and composed herself. “Don’t worry. The nurse told me, not you.”

She then smirked. “No wonder what you said earlier didn’t add up. So the cure for lovesickness… is just more rest?”

The doctor nodded. “Yes. But while rest helps, the best solution is to see the person she misses. That’s why I said attending the graduation ceremony would be beneficial.”

Jiang Jingshi nodded. “Got it.”

Just then, a nurse handed the doctor another report. He glanced at it and was suddenly surprised.

“Wait a moment, Miss Jiang. I just noticed you’ve scheduled an appointment with one of our doctors for the day after tomorrow? Are you feeling unwell? If you have time now, we can do a check-up immediately.”

Jiang Jingshi hesitated. “Lately, I’ve been having trouble sleeping. I feel sluggish during the day and….”

She suddenly realized something.

Lately, she had been dreaming about Lin Zhengran a lot.

Because of the college entrance exams, Lin Zhengran hadn’t been at the company much. Even when he came in, he only looked at documents before leaving. He barely stayed.

On the day of the exams, Jiang Jingshi had been delayed by a company meeting and arrived a few minutes late, missing the chance to see him before the test began. That had left her feeling even worse, and her insomnia had only gotten worse over the past few days.

Thinking back now… did she have lovesickness too?

Was she also suffering from this just because she missed Zhengran?

Jiang Jingshi’s laughter died instantly. Her expression grew awkward. “It’s nothing. I probably just haven’t been resting well lately.”

The doctor offered, “If it’s just sleep issues, I can check your pulse. If nothing else is wrong, I can prescribe you some herbal medicine.”

Jiang Jingshi slowly nodded. “Alright.”

The doctor respectfully gestured for her to sit down.

As she extended her arm, a realization struck her.

She, the older sister, had ended up suffering from the exact same lovesickness over the same guy as her little sister.

This was…

Jiang Jingshi took a deep breath and sternly warned the doctor, “Don’t tell anyone about my sleep issues. Especially not Qianqian or Xiaomeng.”

She turned to the nurse. “And you too. Keep it a secret. No one must know.”

The nurse and doctor both nodded immediately.
