After her plan failed, she went to see Zhong WenYu, Yue Yue was laughing heartily.
"Aunty, I'm actually very afraid of snakes, for the sake of Chi Cheng, I endured everything silently. I also like small animals, I also raised cats and dogs, I know how it felt when pets died. But I really couldn't take it anymore, ever since coming back from business trip, I have went to the hospital thrice, just take a look at these papers."
Yue Yue took out medical records from her bag, the record clearly showed the doctor's diagnosis of Yue Yue's phobia.
"Last time when I accompanied him on a business trip, he went out to make a called in the middle of the night, talking for a whole night, leaving me and that snake in a room. I didn't know what provoked it, but it rushed toward me and strangled me, I had bruise on my neck but it had already faded," she told Zhong WenYu and pointed ah her neck.
Zhong WenYu listened to her teary complains, naturally sympathized Yue Yue.
"I understand your feeling, I'm also afraid of snakes, I will get goose bumps if I see that thing. Because of this, I'm hesitant to see my son, every time I go to his place, I feel extremely scared. My son didn't even feel bad, in order to keep a pet, he had to live in a rundown basement, what do we do to suffer this hardship?"
Yue Yue held Zhong WenYu's hands, barely squeezed out a smile.
"Aunty, I'm fine, I feel at ease after talking to you. Don't tell Chi Cheng that I come to you, I don't want him to think that I am the kind of person who talk behind someone's back."
"Then I have to see him." Zhong WenYu said firmly, "it won't work with just a nice talk."
"Aunty, don't be like this. It is my fault, I feel guilty coming to you, I might have a dispute with Chi Cheng."
Zhong WenYu said sullenly, "How come it's your fault? I have to get rid of that snake, really, just for a snake, how many days have he been missing?"
Yue Yue pleaded, "Aunty, don't go, if he insisted on breaking up, there's nothing you can do to persuade him. It's alright, even if we break up, I would still come to see you. I just didn't know if you still want me to accompany you shopping and if you are willing to accept things that I give you..." she said and cried.
Zhong WenYu touched Yue Yue's hair lovingly, she looked determined.
"Don't worry, aunty will get an explanation on your behalf."
Yue Yue still wanted to say something, but Zhong WenYu stopped her.
"Aunty will go out and buy some foods, let's have dinner together."
Yue Yue quickly got up, "I have something to do tonight, I don't want to trouble you."
Zhong WenYu kept on persuading her, Yue Yue was too shy to refuse, and nodded.
Chi Jia Li was in another room trying to coax her children to sleep, after her children fell asleep, Zhong WenYu had already went out, she stood in front of a door, and looked at Yue Yue with a sneer.
"So nice! You really know how to pick the easiest one."
Yue Yue hid her guilty conscience, pretending to look confused.
"Jie, what did you say?"
Chi Jia Li casually used a hair clip to put up her hair, naturally revealed her [1] elegant side.
[T/N: [1] lit. a woman who is elegant without having to try acting as one.]
"[2] Celestials, humans, three realms' demons, intermediate demons and lowly demons are also divided into various ranks, not to mention it was also integrated into 'human', do you understand what this jie is talking about?"
[T/N: [2] what savage CJL was trying to say was YY is a demon with a human mask, i.e. her inner soul is rotten.]
Yue Yue's face stiffened, her hands trembling, and she couldn't utter anything.
Sleeping in the intensive care unit for a whole day, Wu Suowei finally regained his consciousness.
Chi Cheng went out and followed the doctor, there was only Jiang XiaoShuai looking after him at the ward, although Guo Chengyu had forcedly sent him home last night, but Jiang XiaoShuai couldn't sleep a wink last night. Now he was supporting two dark circles, and he kept on yawning.
Wu Suowei called out coarsely, "XiaoShuai."
Jiang XiaoShuai startled, and instantly flew in front of Wu Suowei.
"Woke up? How do you feel? Tired? Feel uncomfortable? Want to have a drink? Do you want me to find a doctor to take a look at you?"
Wu Suowei grasping around with his hand that was inserted with an intravenous catheter, and finally he caught Jiang XiaoShuai's hand.
Jiang XiaoShuai looked at Wu Suowei's dull eyes, his heart ached, and he asked concernedly: "do you feel extremely unwell? Sigh...usually there will be a headache, I feel the pain just by looking at it, not to mention with your condition now. "
Wu Suowei moved his lips, struggled to squeeze out a few words.
"The merchant had been caught?"
Jiang XiaoShuai's temple twitched, after all the things that happened Wu Suowei was still thinking about that money.
"Don't worry, he was caught yesterday."
Wei Suowei gathered his energy, and asked hurriedly: "Can I get my money back?"
"What do you think? He also took Chi Cheng's money, will he dare to not give it back? I had asked around a while ago, your assets loss inspection is 20 thousand. Boy, you really made a profit."
Wu Suowei also secretly thought of it, but still pretended to be reserved.
"Not that bad."
Jiang XiaoShuai unknowingly laughed.
Besides anxious, Wu Suowei also thought about Chi Cheng.
"Where are others?"
Jiang XiaoShuai said, "Followed the doctor, must be talking about your condition."
"Oh yes, what is my current situation?" He just thought of asking.
Jiang XiaoShuai's expression sunken, "bad."
Wu Suowei was anxious, he had injured his chest, and there was a painful expression on his face.
"Ai, I'm teasing you!" Jiang XiaoShuai hurriedly soothed him, "you fractured your ribs, and some skin trauma around your neck, if everything goes well, you will be good in a month."
Wu Suowei felt at ease, and felt slightly thirsty after talking, hence Jiang XiaoShuai gave him a glass of water to drink
Jiang XiaoShuai said while bringing him water: "A friend in need is a friend indeed! You didn't see Mr. Muscle's face, he was anxious and worn out. I'm telling you, he killed a snake that he really loves for you! You should make up nicely for his loss."
Wu Suowei scrunched his thick eyebrows, he unknowingly felt hurt.
"His snake bit me, why shroud I compensate him? If he didn't hesitate to kill it, will I get strangled until fractured?"
Jiang XiaoShuai inserted a straw into Wu Suowei mouth, "drink quickly!"
Wu Suowei was suffering from neck injury, hence it was really difficult to swallow, and would have to take a small sips now and then.
"Xiao Shuai, you are amazing, I heard what you said to me in the car. Do you know? With you beside me, my heart is really at ease."
Chi Cheng just arrived at the door, and nonchalantly heard those statements.
Jiang XiaoShuai felt a dark aura looming behind him, and he knew that person is back.
Chi Cheng went to bed quietly, he didn't say anything, and stared at Jiang XiaoShuai. In a few second, Jiang XiaoShuai's willpower collapsed, the cup ended up being placed on the counter, and he left in a flash.
Wu Suowei looked straight at Chi Cheng with a straw dangling from his mouth.
Chi Cheng also looked straight at him.
After a while, Wu Suowei finally couldn't take it.
"Faster!"
Chi Cheng still didn't say anything.
"I haven't finished drinking yet." Wu Suowei chirped in.
Chi Cheng finally spoke, "Want to drink what? [3] Your mouth is really thirsty, so that next time you will know what to say, and what not to say." His jealousy was getting stronger, and deliberately looking for trouble.
[T/N: [3] this is like saying one is so thirsty until he utters stupid thing and asking for a beating.]
Wu Suowei made a move, stretched out his hand to take a hold of the cup, and pretending to hurt the wound.
"Behaved and wait for it!" as expected he was lectured.
In a spilt second, a cup was brought toward him, the straw was inserted into the cup, and a sweet liquid flowed into his mouth, and gave his dried tongue and adequate moisture. Slowly, sip by sip, he swallowed strenuously, and then once again he swallowed slowly...Unknowingly, Chi Cheng had been holding the cup for more than ten minutes.
Finally, Wu Suowei looked satisfied.
Looking at Wu Suowei drinking with a lot of difficulty, the fire in Chi Cheng's heart was extinguished.
"Your neck still hurt?" Chi Cheng asked.
Wu Suowei said, "it's not that painful."
"Chest?"
"It wasn't that painful, just feel a little suppression, and feel like I'm still being strangled by something."
Chi Cheng grabbed Wu Suowei's hand, and he looked distress.
"Your ribcage fractured, you are wearing a rib belt."
Wu Suowei said bitterly, "[4] then it didn't hurt that much."
Chi Cheng finally smiled, "let me examine with my fingers if it's okay."
[T/N: [4] WSW used a slang蛋疼that means something that hurt so much and CC is using it as literally. 蛋疼 when reading character by character (lit) is 蛋dàn 'egg' 疼téng 'aching/pain'. Hence his words above.]
Once he said, his hands went toward the bed, explored all the way to Wu Suowei's legs, Wu Suowei's body was very weak, he couldn't move, and could only let Chi Cheng took advantage of the situation.
"This is bad." Chi Cheng was reluctant, "One is shriveled."
Curses rolled out from Wu Suowei's mouth effortlessly.
Chi Cheng smirked, "Want to make it bulging back? It's very unsightly when one is bulging and another one is shriveled!"
Wu Suowei frowned and bared his teeth, and he looked furious.
"This [5] yé is really strong!"
[T/N: from the title and [5], the usage of yé 爷 (lit. lord) is same like lǎoyé 老爷 and lǎozi 老子. In this line, it refers to his balls lol.]
Chi Cheng was amused with Wu Suowei, smiled brightly and all those dark cloud looming around scattered away.
