Inside the ward.
It was dead silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The only sound was the continuous beeping of the heart rate monitor attached to Ye Cheng. Honestly, Ye Cheng wanted to smash the damn machine.
Damn it, beeping all day long, what is the point of this monitor's existence?
Ye Cheng had gone so crazy that he was starting to project his stress onto a machine. It could not be helped. Given the current situation, even Ye Cheng, who prided himself on having a big heart, could not quite handle it anymore.
Heaven knows why the eldest miss, who had been sitting perfectly fine, suddenly stood up and kicked the door. The loud bang scared him half to death. Thankfully, Shen Qinghan was not paying attention to Ye Cheng at that moment, otherwise she definitely would have seen a Mount Everest pitching on Ye Cheng's side.
That kick definitely had some personal grudge mixed into it.
The head maid, who witnessed the whole thing from the side, shuddered in fear. Of course, she was not scared by the eldest miss kicking the door, but by the Mount Everest on Ye Cheng's hospital bed. If her miss turned around right now, he would die instantly.
Similarly, the head maid subconsciously imagined the door in front of her as her own young miss.
Her young miss was so tiny; if she took a kick like that...
Head Maid: ...
NO!!!
The head maid's face paled several shades. Standing to the side, she did not dare make a sound, quietly watching the ruthless underworld heiress perform her one-woman show.
Recalling Ye Cheng's words about there being trouble, the head maid finally understood what he truly meant. It indeed was trouble, and a massive one at that.
One was already this hard to deal with, yet Ye Cheng had provoked two. The scariest part was that these two had actually run into each other. In this kind of situation, how could her young miss even intervene?
If she went over and was not careful, she would be finished off like a minion.
After closing the door, Shen Qinghan took the medical records back to the bedside. She glanced at Ye Cheng's heart rate. It seemed... slightly higher than before?
A normal fluctuation.
Shen Qinghan did not suspect anything. She lowered her head and continued studying the report in front of her, frowning. Many of the terms were specialized medical jargon that she needed to look up online, otherwise it would not make sense to her.
Because the hospital's standards were so high, the medical records were extremely detailed. Only a monster like Ye Cheng could read them without any hurdles.
Whether it was the head maid or the eldest miss, they both needed to look up information to slowly chew through it. Naturally, this took time, which in a way was actually not bad.
After all, staring at medical records was much better than staring at the heart rate monitor or the Teletubby lying in the bed...
The head maid somewhat admired Ye Cheng. Being in such a high-pressure environment every day and still managing to live so cheerfully made him a superman. A normal person would have cracked long ago.
Two eldest misses—running into either one of them was unbearable enough, yet Ye Cheng had managed to take on both at once.
However... it seemed that a certain inhuman guy was not having an easy time right now either. He did not even dare to wake up. According to the plan they had discussed earlier, he was supposed to wake up when the two met and the situation escalated.
He should have woken up long ago, but... who knew the eldest miss would lock the door!
Not only did she lock it, but she also repeated her old trick of kicking the door. Anyone who did not know better would think she was stacking up rage points... Under these circumstances, the fact that Ye Cheng could still lie in bed so calmly—was not that its own kind of badassery?
At least, the head maid was thoroughly convinced.
It turned out that those posts she had read on the school forum earlier were all true. Moreover, reality was even more surreal than the posts.
If nothing unexpected happened, the one outside was the eldest miss of the Dongfang family who was bewitched, as mentioned in the posts. Judging by the current situation, she was indeed bewitched, but... the problem was that the one inside had not escaped the spell like the posts claimed.
This one did not seem much better than the one outside, did she?
The head maid could not figure out how someone could be so despicable, actually posting a smokescreen and spreading fake news, nearly getting people killed.
The person who wrote those posts was incredibly despicable!
Just as this thought crossed the head maid's mind, a certain madam thousands of meters away sneezed without any warning.
Achoo~
Could it be that Little Hanhan is thinking about me? Hehe...
Du Wanyi grinned, shifted into a comfortable position, and continued lying on the sofa watching the brain-dead short drama playing on the large projector screen in front of her. Mmm, so good, she loved watching it!
In the hospital corridor.
Let me go, you demon! Let me go, you idiot... Xia Tongxin struggled continuously, her soft and sweet voice echoing.
Head Maid: ???
A giant question mark popped up over the head maid's head inside the room. Her expression stiffened. Just as she was about to walk over and open the door, she heard the eldest miss's voice from the side.
You had better not make any reckless moves, such as... opening the door. Shen Qinghan's voice was cold. She did not even look up, still completely focused on studying the medical records in her hands.
Head Maid: ...
What a devil!
Forgive me, young miss, hang in there!
The head maid could not help herself; she had no way to go over and open the door. Outside, Xia Tongxin's pitiful voice continued. The head maid truly experienced what it meant to feel like a knife was twisting in her heart.
The head maid never expected that she would experience a day of eavesdropping by the door... She somewhat understood the male protagonists in those movies now.
It hurt, it hurt too much.
Outside the door.
Xia Tongxin was caught by Dongfang Zhixia. With both her hands pinned against the wall, Dongfang Zhixia kept pinching and pulling at Xia Tongxin's cheeks. Xia Tongxin had a stubborn look on her face and tried to bite Dongfang Zhixia from time to time, but unfortunately, she missed.
She could only continuously attack the Student Council President with trash talk. It was a pity that Xia Tongxin's insults sounded more like whining and lacked any real attack power. Even if they did have power, it would mean nothing to Dongfang Zhixia.
Dongfang Zhixia tugged at Xia Tongxin's face while looking at the cowardly little maid to the side: You guys should have a spare key, right? If not, I cannot guarantee whether something will happen to your young miss.
Little Maid: ...
A demon!
There was one inside the room and another outside. She could not afford to offend either of them. It was not that the little maid had not resisted, but... she was tossed aside by Dongfang Zhixia with a single hand.
Her strength was terrifyingly huge!
In a sense, Dongfang Zhixia could be considered a heroine among women. She was well-rounded and did not specialize in just one area like the eldest miss. She had started training since childhood, working out 365 days a year without ever taking a break, so naturally, she was strong.
That was exactly why the eldest miss called her a brawny female gorilla.
Compared to other women her age, she was indeed overwhelmingly strong, way beyond the standard. Getting into a physical fight with her meant almost zero chance of winning. Of course, she could not be compared to professionals, but it was more than enough to handle the eldest miss.
It was a breeze, just like right now—taking on two at once, and still being able to pin down a certain pink-haired, highly arrogant little thing to teach her a harsh lesson!
"I'll give you five minutes to get the key, or have your people come and kick the door open. Figure it out yourself. Either way, if this door isn't open in five minutes, I'm killing the hostage."
Dongfang Zhixia said as she pinched the pink-haired Xia Tongxin in front of her. Hearing the words "killing the hostage," the little maid trembled in fear, her soul nearly flying out of her mouth.
Nooo, don't treat the young miss so roughly, boohoo...
"Crying? Crying counts against the clock too. You've already wasted half a minute. You have four and a half minutes left." Dongfang Zhixia raised an eyebrow, looking coldly at the pitiful little maid in front of her.
The little maid: "!!!"
Boohoo, she's a demon, boohoo...
Not daring to delay, the little maid hurried off to grab the spare key. Her footsteps gradually faded away, leaving only Dongfang Zhixia and Xia Tongxin, who was pinned against the wall, in the hallway.
Hmm... it looked exactly like a "Defeated Young Miss" CG from a video game.
"You big stupid pig, let me go! You demon, idiot, milk cow!" Xia Tongxin put on a "fierce" face, acting tough all over.
Dongfang Zhixia: "???"
The first few insults were whatever, but what the hell was with "milk cow"?
Dongfang Zhixia froze for a second, looked down at her own chest, and realized. Oh... so that's what it was. This little thing sure had a way with words, heh.
"Jealous?" Dongfang Zhixia's lips curled up into a devilish smirk.
Xia Tongxin looked stubborn. "Not jealous at all!"
"Oh? Actually, I have a way to make you just like me. I was going to tell you, but since you're not interested, sigh, never mind then." Dongfang Zhixia sighed.
Xia Tongxin's little face stiffened.
"You, you're lying! There's no such method!" Xia Tongxin puffed her cheeks, seemingly trying to hype herself up and brainwash herself.
"Ah, right, right, right. You're right." Dongfang Zhixia was extremely dismissive, completely ignoring what Xia Tongxin said. The more she acted like this, the more anxious Xia Tongxin became. After a brief silence, Xia Tongxin couldn't hold back anymore.
Xia Tongxin asked tentatively, "Are, are you telling the truth? Is there really a way to make me like you?"
"I don't know, I was just lying. There's no such method, hm hm hm..." Dongfang Zhixia replied casually, throwing Xia Tongxin's exact words right back at her. The role reversal was quite dramatic.
Well, the door wasn't open yet, so Dongfang Zhixia had nothing better to do than tease the little pink-haired thing in front of her. Hmm... she was pretty fierce, but quite fun to play with.
Xia Tongxin grew anxious, thinking Dongfang Zhixia was keeping the good stuff to herself, and hurriedly spoke up.
"I can give you money! I can give you gifts, buy you lots of things! Just tell me, please?"
Dongfang Zhixia: "..."
This little pink-haired girl was seriously gullible. She actually believed that?
"I don't want money or gifts. I just want you to answer my previous question seriously. Otherwise, even if I tell you, my method won't work for you. It has to come from the bottom of your heart, understand? If you lie, it won't work."
Dongfang Zhixia spoke with a deadpan expression, sounding incredibly serious as she laid out the conditions.
Xia Tongxin believed whatever she was told, nodding vigorously to show that she would definitely tell the truth!
"Mhm, mhm! I won't lie!"
"Alright, then back to the question from earlier. Are you jealous? Do you want to be like me?"
Xia Tongxin looked down at herself, then looked at the President, her eyes filled with determination. "I'm jealous! I want to!"
"Well, keep wanting it then, you idiot! Hahaha!!!" Dongfang Zhixia burst into laughter, her unbridled cackling echoing down the hallway.
Xia Tongxin looked absolutely dumbfounded. She quickly realized that Dongfang Zhixia was tricking her and pretended to put up a strong front. "Heh, I knew you were lying all along. I was just tricking you just now. You didn't think I actually believed you, did you? I didn't really want to know anyway..."
"Dammit, boohoo..."
She still couldn't hold it in. Her tears flowed out in defeat, and she burst out crying loudly. At this very moment, in Xia Tongxin's eyes, Dongfang Zhixia was the most despicable, wicked woman in the world!
The Head Maid: "???"
Shen Qinghan: "..."
Ye Cheng: "..."
