"I disagree," Xu Qinghe pursed his lips and said, "Nianhua is just a freshman, there’s no rush to be dating."
"Qinghe, I’m serious, what if Uncle Du really has this idea?"
Previously, Ji Ying hadn’t given it much thought, but now that it was brought up, she seriously considered it. Pei Yicheng had taken especially good care of their family, and was impeccable towards Nianhua. For instance, during this visit home, Nian’an had mentioned that Yicheng took care of Nianhua in every possible way, even the chicken soup was stewed by Pei Yicheng himself.
"Well..." Xu Qinghe looked at Ji Ying, silent for a long moment.
Ji Ying thought for a while and said, "Honestly, in our village, no, even in our county, I haven’t seen any young man who is more outstanding than Yicheng."
"It’s true that Nianhua saved Yining, but Yining also took care of him throughout, and also, as Nian’an said, when there was no blood available, it was Yicheng who humbled himself to ask someone to go for a blood test."
"During that time, Nianhua drank quite a lot of nourishing soups, all personally made by Yicheng. He, actually could have chosen not to do it himself," Ji Ying said more and more convinced that Pei Yicheng was a good kid.
Xu Qinghe interrupted her, saying, "What kind of mother are you, hoping eagerly to marry off her daughter?"
Ji Ying didn’t speak but just gave him a meaningful look.
Xu Qinghe thought of something and sighed, asking, "Nian’an has made another appointment for us to check our blood type tomorrow, what should we do?"
"I have to go back to the factory tomorrow and you also have to go back to the factory, so that settles it?" Ji Ying rolled her eyes, shifted onto her side in the bed, and just after stretching lazily, said, "Stop overthinking it, Panda Blood is so rare, there’s no way we have that. As for Nianhua, I should buy her more blood-nourishing things these days."
"And red dates, buy lots of those to keep around her, she can snack on them, and they’re good for her health," Ji Ying said while yawning, repeatedly telling herself in her mind to buy red dates tomorrow.
The next day, early in the morning, Ji Ying and Xu Qinghe, using the excuse of needing to go back to the factory, left home early.
Xu Nian’an didn’t even have time to speak before the couple had left early.
"Big brother, do you have time to come with me today?" Xu Nian’an turned to Xu Nianji, earnestly saying, "This is really important. If the little sister isn’t Panda Blood, then we wouldn’t need to check, but since she is, being family, we could very likely also be Panda Blood."
"Ok, let’s go together," Xu Nianji said, and just then, went along with Zhou He to get Zhuangzhuang vaccinated.
"Little sister, are you coming?"
Xu Nian’an asked while packing up things.
Xu Nianhua also wanted to know what their blood types were.
Xu Nian’an looked at the blood type report and repeatedly confirmed, asking, "Nurse, you didn’t mix up our report, did you?"
He was Type O, he had already checked while at school.
The little sister was Type AB RH negative blood, the legendary Panda Blood, which is rarer compared to the ABO blood type, and Type AB is a bit rarer still.
But, big brother Xu Nianji and his nephew Zhuangzhuang, both had Type B blood.
That meant, among the three siblings, there were three different blood types, he seriously thought about the patterns of blood type inheritance.
"What’s wrong? Is there something incorrect?" Xu Nianji didn’t understand anything about blood types.
Xu Nian’an felt his mind wasn’t sharp enough, were the things he remembered clearly before now suddenly confusing?
