Chapter 142: Entanglement
After eating dinner, everyone extinguished the bonfire and returned to their rooms.
Su Yaoguang was just about to lie down when she suddenly remembered that among the patients there was a three-year-old child who had been vomiting and having diarrhea today, and she didn’t know how the situation was. She felt a bit uneasy and immediately got up.
All the female relatives of the Su family were sleeping here, with her in the middle, so she had to move carefully when getting up to avoid waking the others. At this time, the others had already fallen asleep fully clothed, with even breathing and a tired look between their eyebrows.
The men, that is, Zhou Wangshu, Wang Huanzhi, and the Zhen Yuanfang brothers, were living in the next room. If there was something, a shout would bring them over.
She put on her clothes and went out, lit a lantern, and lightened her footsteps as she headed to the children’s area among the patients.
So many patients were not only divided into areas by severity of illness but also by age, such as children’s area, young and middle-aged area, and elderly area. The children’s area was further divided into mild illness area and severe illness area; the young and middle-aged area was not only divided into mild illness area and severe illness area but also into men’s area and women’s area; the elderly were the same, with distinctions between mild and severe, and men and women separated.
The children’s area was the closest to the place where Su Yaoguang and the others were resting, and the environment there was also the best. This was because children are relatively fragile, and there absolutely could not be any negligence; they must be given priority attention.
Just as Su Yaoguang went out, someone in the next room opened their eyes. Listening to the footsteps, he recognized it was Su Yaoguang, quietly got out of bed, and followed her out.
“Luckily, nothing’s wrong.” Su Yaoguang touched the child’s forehead, confirmed he was no longer feverish, and checked his pulse.
Since she was here, she had to check on the other children too. Su Yaoguang checked each child’s situation one by one, her face full of gentle color as she looked at the peacefully sleeping children.
At this moment, she was like she was covered in a layer of silver light, the whole person like a fairy descended to redeem the world.
Zhou Wangshu stood in the doorway, watching her tuck in the quilts for the children and check each one’s pulse and body temperature. He suddenly felt that this scene was too beautiful and didn’t want to disturb it at all.
After Su Yaoguang finished all this and went out, she yawned and was about to return to her room to rest. Suddenly, someone darted out and blocked her path.
“Yaoguang…” Xiao Yanci was wearing a set of white underwear, his hair disheveled, blocking her like a sick beauty. “Why haven’t you come to see me? I’m almost dying of illness.”
Su Yaoguang looked at Xiao Yanci with a half-smile and kicked him. With a bang, Xiao Yanci knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her.
“Ah…” Xiao Yanci cried out in pain.
Su Yaoguang looked at him indifferently: “Xiao Scholar, has your illness rotted your brain? I’m not your mother. What does your illness have to do with old lady? And you still want old lady to come see you? The only reason you’re allowed to stay here is that I don’t want to be criticized. If possible, I’d rather put you with the beasts.”
“Yaoguang, how can you be so heartless?” Xiao Yanci looked at her unwillingly. “I am the one you love, why have you changed your heart?”
“Heh… what kind of thing are you to become old lady’s sweetheart? Listen clearly, Xiao Ci, you’re so ugly, not even worth one finger of our Wangshu. Don’t humiliate yourself anymore.”
She kicked out from behind, and with that kick, Xiao Yanci’s body lurched forward, crashing into the pillar opposite. With a bang, Xiao Yanci’s consciousness fell into chaos, and he lay there motionless.
Su Yaoguang looked at this scene in astonishment and looked up at Zhou Wangshu who walked out from the darkness: “When did you get here?”
Zhou Wangshu was wearing an undergarment, his hair also disheveled, his refined features adding a touch of mysterious haze in the night, like a seductive vixen.
“I wanted to go to the outhouse, heard a commotion here, and came to check, but unexpectedly saw this shameless thing. Why does he always think you like him? What did you do to him?”
Su Yaoguang: “…Maybe because I often cause him trouble, he has a illness and got addicted to being abused by me.”
Zhou Wangshu touched his chin, showing a thoughtful expression: “So he has that kind of quirk.”
Su Yaoguang looked at Xiao Yanci lying there, pondering his psychology in her heart.
This Xiao Yanci really had no shame, utterly shameless.
Since he had rebirth, he should stay far away from her. After all, in her previous life, she died by his hand.
In the last moment of her previous life, though he didn’t swing the knife, that invisible knife stabbed into her heart again and again, making her wish she were dead.
In this life after rebirth, she hadn’t provoked him. She’d already ‘let him go’ like this, so he should tie himself to that cheap woman forever and not come to harm others.
Why did he still dare to shamelessly come find her and say these inexplicable things?
Could it be that he didn’t have the memory of that final part?
Because he didn’t know she died by his hand, he shamelessly entangled her, thinking she should pay out for him like in the previous life, with her heart and eyes full of him?
Su Yaoguang seemed to understand.
Zhou Wangshu leaned close to her ear and asked, “Good-looking?”
Su Yaoguang came back to her senses and looked puzzled at the youth beside her: “Hm?”
As she turned her head, she saw an enlarged handsome face, those peach blossom eyes emitting bright light in the darkness, more mysteriously dazzling than the stars in the sky.
“Good-looking.” She said instinctively.
Zhou Wangshu: “…”
He glared at her fiercely, cheeks puffed up in anger.
He strode away, his steps like the wind.
Su Yaoguang hurried to catch up: “Hey, you misunderstood, I meant you are good-looking, not the pig lying on the ground…”
Zhou Wangshu slowed his steps.
This temple was full of people everywhere, inevitably there would be a few blind scoundrels. Though she was as strong as an ox, she was still just a young lady, not invincible in the world. If she met a ruthless one, she’d only suffer. Yet she didn’t realize this, always liking to step forward no matter what, charging ahead regardless.
Su Yaoguang caught up to Zhou Wangshu and said, “Today another eight patients recovered. After recovering, they didn’t leave in a hurry but stayed to care for the other patients. At this rate, all the patients will recover soon.”
Zhou Wangshu looked at Su Yaoguang who was glowing all over: “What do you gain from doing all this?”
Su Yaoguang looked at Zhou Wangshu: “In life, not every thing you do has to have your own purpose. Such a natural disaster can’t be resisted by one person, but if everyone unites, then man can conquer nature. Besides, who doesn’t know about our Peach Blossom Workshop now? Doing good deeds, building reputation, and accumulating merit like this—why not do it?”
“Great Benefactor Su, get some early rest. Tomorrow we continue doing good deeds and accumulating merit.” Zhou Wangshu opened the door for the female relatives, watched her go in, then closed the door.
