Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 39: Which University?

An'an looked at Chu Xia with a pair of watery eyes, shook her head, and instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Then Mom will take you inside to take a look." Chu Xia smiles even more amiably.

Cen Zhengnian finally realized Chu Xia's purpose, turned his head to the side, and made a fist near his lips, blocking the smile that escaped from the corners of his mouth.

He cooperates with Chu Xia and says, "Yes, An'an goes in with Mom to have a look."

Cen Huai'an, unprepared, was led into the small clinic by Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian, each holding one of his hands.

The small clinic was extremely poorly equipped, with patients and doctors all in one room, without even a partition.

The waiting patients sat on a long, weathered bench, covering their mouths, watching the doctor use forceps and a dental drill inside the patients' mouths, making a buzzing sound.

When they heard the sound of the door, the doctor didn't even look up and said, "Dental checkup; sit there and wait in line."

Chu Xia didn't bring Cen Huai'an to sit down but instead pulled him closer to the doctor. Afraid that he wouldn't be able to see clearly, she turned her head to Cen Zhengnian and said, "You hold him up."

Cen Zhengnian did as he was told, with a knowing smile on his face, making sure that Cen Huai'an could clearly see the scene of the doctor working on the teeth as he picked him up.

An'an, did you see it? The doctor will do the same to your teeth later. First, they use that dental drill to drill on your teeth, drill, and drill. Don't worry; they will give you anesthesia, so it won't hurt; just feel a bit tingly. Then they'll open your mouth wide, like this, and put something on your teeth. Teeth that are fixed like this can last a long time if done well, but if not, they'll fall out quickly, and you'll have to get them fixed again."

"This isn't the scariest part. The scariest part is that if you don't take care of your teeth, they will deteriorate even more, and you'll be in excruciating pain, rolling on the ground, and you'll have to get your teeth pulled out. Do you know how that's done?"

Cen Huai'an feels like he has a bit of a toothache because of what Chu Xia said; his heart is jumping seven times, gulping, and a bit uneasy.

"How to pull it?"

Chu Xia smiles, "It's very simple. First, they break the bad tooth into pieces."

Just as Chu Xia said the first sentence, Cen Huai'an covered his mouth. She smiled even more gently, as if she didn't see Cen Huai'an's movements, and continued.

"Then, they clean out the broken bad tooth little by little, make an incision next to the tooth, and use a pair of pliers to grasp the tooth and pull it out. Usually, teeth don't come out all at once; it takes a while to clean them out. By the time they pull the tooth, the blood flows out from the patient's mouth..."

Cen Huai'an covered his mouth more tightly, as if he had seen the passage of his own tooth extraction, especially when the doctor in front of him happened to pull out a tooth, and so much blood flowed out of that patient's mouth.

He instantly couldn't hold it together and shook his head in panic: "Mom, I'll never eat more candy again!"

He doesn't want to continue to have bad teeth; he doesn't want to have his teeth pulled.

The fact that Cen Huai'an didn't cry from Chuxia's frightening description was already quite brave. Although he looked so scared that he was on the verge of tears, he still clenched his teeth tightly to endure it, his body tightly shrinking towards Cen Zhengnian's arms.
