Chapter 47: Encountering Feng Yuli Again
A tender childish voice suddenly rang out in the hospital room, startling everyone present. They all turned their gazes to Nan Yuanman, not noticing that Lin Chenyi’s expression suddenly stiffened when he heard the words “weasel.”
The woman who had been lying by the hospital bed sobbing lifted her head, her eyes red as she glared at Nan Yuanman with annoyance and disgust. “It’s you again!”
“Lin Ge, this kid is really weird. Just now when you were in a coma, she suddenly rushed in with a copper coin sword, mumbling something in her mouth. So full of bad luck! Hurry and chase her out!” Shen Mengjie gripped Lin Chenyi’s hand and shouted loudly.
The smile at the corner of Meng Qinian’s mouth suddenly faded.
The others in the hospital room furrowed their brows and spoke up in disagreement. “Miss Shen, mind your words. This little girl was brought by Mister Meng. She means no harm to Lin Ge.”
Someone muttered softly, “Don’t old women often say kids have their heavenly eye open and can see things adults can’t? Maybe what she said is true…”
It wasn’t that they were superstitious, but Lin Chenyi’s sudden coma this time was too weird, not to mention that after a full body check, they still hadn’t found the cause of the coma.
“Xiao Hao, this is a scientific society now. Don’t mess with feudal superstition.” Lin Chenyi suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, smiled at Nan Yuanman, and said friendly and gently, “Little friend, could it be that you saw wrong?”
“I didn’t see wrong, big brother.” Nan Yuanman’s clear black-and-white pure eyes stared straight at Lin Chenyi, then slowly turned to look behind him.
A wisp of a weasel’s soul was clinging to Lin Chenyi’s back, containing deep resentment. It was risking the danger of never reincarnating to take his life, which showed that he must have offended a weasel spirit in the past.
Nan Yuanman tilted her head slightly in confusion. But why did this weasel have a red thread with this big brother?
Can a person and a demon fall in love?
Lin Chenyi noticed her gaze, and his body suddenly stiffened. His breathing seemed to become even more difficult, and he completely didn’t dare to turn his head to look back.
Nan Yuanman even pointed at his back. “That weasel is right on your back. Big brother, you’d better find someone to deal with it, or you’ll still die.”
Lin Chenyi’s pupils shrank suddenly. Shen Mengjie got annoyed and reached out to push Nan Yuanman. “How does a little brat like you talk!”
Meng Qinian didn’t give her hand a chance to touch Nan Yuanman. He grabbed her with one big hand and lifted her up behind him, glaring at Lin Chenyi with an especially cold voice. “My little sister has been able to see things others can’t since she was young. She was just kindly reminding you. Believe it or not, up to you.”
A forced smile appeared on Lin Chenyi’s face. His mouth opened and closed, wanting to deny it again, but facing Nan Yuanman’s eyes that were too clear, as if they could see through everything, he couldn’t say a word.
The atmosphere in the hospital room suddenly became oppressive. Meng Qinian tsked impatiently, cursed under his breath while holding Nan Yuanman as he left. “Jiang Lixuan really has bad taste in people. Doesn’t he do any background checks when hiring employees? He dares to hire someone with such poor character. Does he think he has too much money and nowhere to spend it…”
The studio employees who heard his cursing looked quite embarrassed. Connecting it to what Nan Yuanman had just said, they all felt the hospital room was eerily gloomy.
“Well, Lin Ge, you rest well first. We’ll go back to eat and train.” The yellow-haired youth coughed lightly, hurriedly left a sentence, and quickly left the hospital room.
The others also found excuses to leave one after another.
Shen Mengjie looked indignant. “What kind of people are they! Not a shred of brotherly loyalty. Lin Ge, you took such good care of them before, and now that you’re sick, not one stays behind!”
Lin Chenyi didn’t speak, slowly moving his shoulders. He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt his back was heavy, and his breathing was becoming more and more difficult.
His eyes flickered, and he spoke hoarsely. “Forget it, Mengjie. I didn’t have anything serious to begin with. Them staying would just waste training time.”
Shen Mengjie pouted unhappily, then turned to see Lin Chenyi’s troubled expression and quickly said, “Lin Ge, you don’t believe that little brat’s words, do you?”
“This is a scientific society now! All that ghost! Demon! Stuff is just feudal superstition to fool you!”
“I think that little brat was sent by the rival team to mess with your mentality, so you’ll lose the next match.”
Lin Chenyi didn’t speak. The hand under the blanket slowly clenched into a fist. After Shen Mengjie finished speaking, he finally spoke hoarsely. “Mengjie, do you still remember… Xueyan?”
Shen Mengjie’s indignant expression suddenly froze, a trace of unnaturalness appearing on her face. “W-why bring her up suddenly?”
She lowered her eyes. “I get it, Lin Ge. You’ve never really forgotten sister Xueyan, have you? But that’s normal too. Any man loved so passionately by sister Xueyan wouldn’t forget her easily.”
“It’s just…” Shen Mengjie sighed softly, lifted her eyes to look at Lin Chenyi, and said with extra heartache, “Lin Ge, sister Xueyan has been gone for over half a year now. You need to move forward.”
Lin Chenyi hummed in acknowledgment, inwardly finding himself ridiculous. How could that be? How could Huang Xueyan possibly be a weasel spirit?
Thinking this way, Lin Chenyi’s mind flashed to the thing he encountered a year ago when he returned to his hometown and got up at night to use the toilet…
After he angrily said those words to it, Huang Xueyan appeared in his life…
Was it a coincidence?
It must be a coincidence.
–
“The dog bites Lu Dongbin! Doesn’t know a good heart!” Meng Qinian was still cursing under his breath. When he was holding Nan Yuanman and about to take the elevator downstairs, his stomach suddenly rumbled a few times.
Meng Qinian’s expression changed, and his long legs clamped together. “Hiss…!”
He panic-strickenly looked left and right while holding Nan Yuanman, then placed her on the corridor bench. “Yuanman, my stomach hurts. I need to use the toilet. Sit here obediently and wait for me, okay? I’ll be right back!”
Nan Yuanman nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Meng Qinian was still worried. Before leaving, he went to the nurses’ station to instruct them a few times, then borrowed some paper and rushed straight to the toilet.
Nan Yuanman sat on the corridor bench. She was small, her legs not reaching the ground, so she sat there swinging her feet idly. From time to time, she put her hand into the shoulder bag to play with Xiao Cao. The wait wasn’t boring at all.
Perhaps her shoes had been worn too long and didn’t fit well. As Nan Yuanman swung her feet again, one foot slipped, and her old cloth shoe flew off with a whoosh.
Feng Yuli, who had just settled his old father and was about to grab something to eat, happened to pass by. He was smacked on the calf by a small cloth shoe.
Feng Yuli’s steps paused. He slowly lowered his head to look. Lying in front of him was a brown children’s cloth shoe, clearly handmade, very old with many patches.
He turned his head and met the gaze of the young cub sitting on the bench, legs dangling, looking a bit dazed.
The moment he saw Nan Yuanman, Feng Yuli’s expression froze.
This little girl’s features… how were they a bit like the old man?
