Mei Mengzhen shook her head gently, refusing to go, while holding onto Liang Xiao and rubbing the arm she'd just pinched red earlier. Her eyes were filled with guilt.
This only made the situation even more awkward. Mi Liang said, "How about I take you to get it checked? Since Dr. Chen said you should go to the hospital, it's probably necessary. Let's go now."
Mei Mengzhen waved her hand, insisting she wouldn't go, then opened her mouth and forced out, "Not going."
The two words Mei Mengzhen managed to get out were slurred and unclear, but somehow everyone present still understood her.
Dr. Chen continued to ask, "What's wrong? Are your parents not available? If not, forget it. Teacher Mi, it's actually not that serious, but you still have to tell the kid and her parents—her tongue is hurt like this, she's going to have to be really careful eating for a while, only eat soft foods, those details need to be explained."
