Elbowing each other, an unusually chaotic scene I'd be a dog if I trust you again, madam

You could hear a pin drop.

The hospital ward fell into an eerily quiet state once again, inexplicably making Ye Cheng feel panicked. Every time it got quiet, he was about to run into bad luck!

Su Su looked at the inexplicably familiar young girl in front of her. She couldn't shake the feeling that she had seen her somewhere before.

She just couldn't recall exactly where at the moment.

Lin Baizhi at the door didn't care about all that. After finishing her piece, she walked straight in and confirmed that a certain arrogant woman and the problem child were not in the room. Excellent.

Only the old hag would be a bit troublesome!

In the span of a few breaths, Lin Baizhi had already integrated the information and resources in her mind and launched her attack!

Du Wanyi's eyes went wide and round. Looking at the "little green tea" in front of her as if she wanted to eat someone, she hurriedly grabbed Ye Cheng's hand, stood up, and blocked Ye Cheng.

To be more precise, she blocked Lin Baizhi's path, preventing her from advancing any further.

Although she verbally claimed that childhood friends were outdated and only fit to eavesdrop at the door, Du Wanyi knew better than anyone else in her heart that no matter how outdated eavesdropping at the door was, it was still countless times stronger than her Little Hanhan's so-called "classmate relationship."

She couldn't even rank high enough to eavesdrop at the door!

Little Hanhan, you absolute NPC!

Every time she thought of her daughter's bot-like behavior, Du Wanyi wished she could take the field herself and show off what it meant to be a "Galgame" master!

Yes, that's right, Du Wanyi was also a gamer, and an incredibly badass one at that. Basically, all the various games on the market were ones Du Wanyi had already beaten and tossed aside.

She was a pro gamer!

Of course, that was just a nicer way to put it. If she were in an ordinary family, Du Wanyi would be described with another term: idle and lazy.

A total street loafer!

She went to school for a couple of days, found it boring, and stopped going; her family directly hired teachers to tutor her at home. Later on in college, she went over and messed around for a couple of days, served as the student council president for a while, and then ran off again when she found it boring.

The rest of her time was spent wandering around without doing any proper work.

After she finished wreaking havoc in one place and got bored, she would run to the next place to wreak havoc, and along the way, she managed to bag Brother Doudou...

We won't go into details here, but anyway, Brother Doudou pretty much got what he deserved. Instead of being the proper "Qilin son" of the Shen family, he ran off to fool around with Mrs. Du, insisting that it was love at first sight and that he liked her type.

Now look at him, going from the "Qilin son" of the Shen family to Brother Doudou, getting beaten up every other day—totally well-deserved!

After wandering around, Du Wanyi spent the rest of her time playing games all day. Dating sims were among Du Wanyi's favorites, but later she found them less interesting than her own Doudou, so she stopped playing them.

The rich, handsome guys or second-generation mobsters gave her no feelings whatsoever.

True, those were made for ordinary people to play. Du Wanyi didn't need to play games; she was directly playing "Earth Online," so naturally, she found them boring.

Don't be fooled by Shen Ming's low family status, sitting at the same table as Da Hei. In his youth, he was an absolute killer among the young ladies in their circle. As for now... he was a killer of young women or wives.

He was too handsome, wealthy, loaded with cash, had a good personality, and a great family background... Shen Ming had maxed out almost every stat you could think of. He never lacked admirers. Even now, there were still quite a few aging young ladies in their circle hoping that Shen Ming would change his mind and escape Du Wanyi's demonic clutches...

A heart-piercing fact.

The white moonlight you could never obtain was nothing more than someone else's Doudou...

Du Wanyi was full of girl-chasing skills, but unfortunately, she didn't "have the hardware," possessing all that technique for nothing... But it didn't matter. Now, to protect the happiness of her bot daughter, she, this great Mama-chan,

The "Galgame" master was striking hard!

Du Wanyi blocked the way, not letting Lin Baizhi get even a step closer. The two of them had another "clash of talents"!

Su Su: "..."

What were these two doing?

Su Su was slightly silent, but she still understood the current situation. So... was this girl, who was about the same age as their Zhixia, also a target deceived and bewitched by this detestable phoenix man?

"Auntie, you're blocking me. Please step aside, thank you." Lin Baizhi knew she couldn't out-argue the old hag in front of her, who was full of brute strength and raised on God knows what, so she changed her tactics.

If Du Wanyi had the guts, she could just poke through this final layer of window paper.

Then everyone would self-destruct together!

Lin Baizhi was actually very afraid of her identity being exposed. After all, she hadn't farmed her affection points back up yet. But she couldn't care about that much now. Her brother was lying right here; if she did nothing, how could she face her brother?

Besides, this was also a great opportunity—a chance to take care of her brother and let their feelings heat up!

She couldn't let it pass!

Furthermore, Lin Baizhi knew that Du Wanyi wouldn't dare. She wouldn't dare tear through this final layer of window paper. Otherwise, with the eldest miss's personality, she would definitely end up like a stray on the roadside...

Auntie?

The expression on Du Wanyi's face stiffened, and she spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"You just wait, you little green tea..." Du Wanyi's gritted teeth could be heard.

Lin Baizhi was taken aback, thinking Du Wanyi had self-destructed. But looking at Su Su's expression next to her, she realized the other party hadn't heard what Du Wanyi just said. Her brother's side was also normal; only the two of them could hear it.

This old hag had this kind of trick up her sleeve?

Ultimately, Du Wanyi stepped aside, or to be precise, was "squeezed aside." Du Wanyi stood to the side, her teeth itching with hatred, seemingly considering from what angle she should club this detestable "little green tea" over the head.

If a path is blocked, open it with your fists!

"Hahaha, this little girl's mouth is as sweet as honey, hahaha..." Du Wanyi forced a fake smile.

Ye Cheng: "..."

Madam, do you know that you're smiling very eerily right now!

Ye Cheng was also stunned into silence. It looked like these two had some beef?

No way, right?

Did they know each other privately?

Lin Baizhi found a spot and held Ye Cheng's hand. Her hand was ice-cold, while his was warm, even a little hot, just like the two hands that used to hold each other when they were kids. It was still that familiar feeling from the past.

"Classmate, do you still remember me?" For some reason, Lin Baizhi's nose felt a bit sour when she said this.

Ye Cheng: "..."

My dear sister, your brother took a knife to the back, not the brain. What the hell do you mean, 'do I remember'...

"Cough, cough, I..." Ye Cheng started with his usual "battle cry," preparing to make a statement.

"Did you wash your hands before touching him? Can't you see he just finished surgery and is lying in bed? What are you touching!" Du Wanyi shouted at the top of her lungs, smacking Lin Baizhi's hand with a slap and swiftly tossing it aside.

Lin Baizhi: "..."

You old hag, you! @#￥%...

Su Su: "???"

Was it her illusion?

Why did she feel that the demoness's attitude was different from before?

Tap, tap, tap...

As the two argued, Ye Cheng suddenly heard familiar footsteps approaching. Was this... the Student Council President?

Not again!

Ye Cheng decisively played dead and went completely offline. He had been fully conscious just a moment ago, but now he acted delirious, closing his eyes to go into hibernation mode. Su Su saw all of this unfold right in front of her.

Su Su: ???

What was this scheming social climber up to now?

As footsteps gradually approached, Su Su instinctively turned her head and saw her daughter standing there, frowning, looking rather displeased.

Zhi Xia! Su Su's eyes widened. She suddenly seemed to understand why Ye Cheng had started playing dead.

This guy... something was definitely off about him. How did he know to start playing dead when the footsteps were still so far away?

Moving at lightning speed, Su Su hurriedly stuffed the check she had just taken out back into her bag, hiding it behind her for fear of being seen. If her daughter saw that thing, she would absolutely blow her top.

Fortunately, she packed it away cleanly, and... Dongfang Zhixia's attention wasn't actually on her mother right now. Thanks to both factors, she managed to gloss over the situation perfectly.

From the moment she walked through the door, Dongfang Zhixia's gaze had been locked onto Lin Baizhi, her eyes narrowing sharply.

She looked the girl up and down, as if sizing up an enemy.

Why was she here?

Dongfang Zhixia's brow furrowed tightly. This situation was shaping up to be even thornier than dealing with the Eldest Miss.

Students aren't allowed to just wander in here. Dongfang Zhixia directed her spearhead at Lin Baizhi, testing the waters!

After speaking, she glanced over at Ye Cheng lying on the hospital bed. She wanted to see his attitude; she needed to know if he had recognized this little childhood sweetheart standing right in front of him!

Lin Baizhi came prepared. Madam President, I am just here to visit my friend. Is that not allowed?

With a polite smile on her face, Lin Baizhi threw the question right back intact. Whether the answer was yes or no, she wouldn't lose out. If the answer was yes, she would stay.

If the answer was no... perfect. It would show her brother just how mean and unreasonable a certain arrogant woman could be. He would never be happy with a woman like that!

He would only be happy if he was with her!

The heavy scent of gunpowder permeated the hospital room. Du Wanyi, always eager for some drama, wished she had a handful of sunflower seeds to snack on. This was great! The little green tea and the naturally wicked brat from the Dongfang family were going at it. Fight, fight! Pull her hair, strip her...

The atmosphere in the room grew intensely heated.

Only Ye Cheng, lying on the bed, was sweating more and more profusely from his forehead, looking as if he were trapped in a terrible nightmare.

Gradually, his skin began to turn bright red...

The second wave of the medicine's effects was kicking in!

Ye Cheng: ...

Damn it, again?!

Ma'am, if I ever eat anything you give me again, I am a dog!

Gradually, Ye Cheng's body temperature rose higher and higher. White, steam-like mist continuously emanated from his body as if some special effect had been turned on. All of this was seen clear as day by Dongfang Zhixia standing at the door.

Dongfang Zhixia: ???
