Chapter 138 : Eat Your Medicine, You Dunce! 19 (1/2)
The group of parents looked at each other. They naturally knew that that these people belonged to the Fu Family. Upon learning that Fu-shao was also in the mountains, the parents had felt reassured that the Fu Family would do everything it could to rescue him in the shortest time possible, meaning that the children of the other families would soon be found along with him.
Just a while ago, the Fu Family had sent helicopters into the mountains.
Not much time had passed, and even the rescue teams’ helicopters hadn’t arrived yet! Just seeing how the Fu Family’s helicopters had already arrived showed the family’s influence.
But… the parents had actually blocked off Fu-shao?
Any thoughts about the identity of that arrogant young lady flew out of everyone’s minds. After all, how could someone who followed Fu-shao be a normal person?
……
A helicopter brought Fu Qin to the hospital. Shi Sheng was fine aside from looking somewhat disheveled, and felt much better after getting cleaned up and changing her clothes. She had been planning on leaving the hospital when System issued another quest:
[Chain Quest 20: Accompany Fu Qin.]
‘Fuck! Why don’t you just get me to marry[note]The word she used here was actually implying he’s the one getting married to her, like how girls usually marry into the guy’s family. FL Ci…[/note] him while you’re at it?! These quests make me want to kill some people!’
The doctor was in the middle of discussing with Uncle Jian when Shi Sheng reached Fu Qin’s ward.
“Since Fu-shao took medicine in time, there aren’t any major problems—only a slight fever from being drenched in the rain. He’ll be fine after it subsides.”
“How is the Young Master’s condition?”
The doctor fell silent for a while before continuing in a heavier voice, “Ol’ Jian, as your friend of many years, I’ll be honest: Fu-shao’s condition… even if he takes his medicine, he won’t last long.”
“At least give me an estimate.” Uncle Jian looked as if he had aged over a decade.
“Ai… If Fu-shao takes his medicine regularly, around half a year. If he doesn’t, though, then he would only have around two months.”
The doctor shook his head, sighing as he left. Uncle Jian stood there for a long while, only lifting his head when Shi Sheng walked over. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
He simply opened the door to the ward and gestured for her to enter.
Fu Qin was still unconscious. Laid out on the pale hospital bed, he looked even more sickly than before.
“Ms Bei.” Uncle Jian tucked in Fu Qin’s sheets before turning around and speaking solemnly, “I have something to request of you.”
“Don’t push him on me. I decline.”
‘I don’t want to take care of retarded children!’
Uncle Jian, “…” ‘Why is she always so… unexpected?’
“Don’t start narrating any tragic backstory either. I’m not listening!” Shi Sheng hurriedly added.
Uncle Jian, “…” ‘Is she a worm in my belly [note]He’s basically asking if she’s read his mind. Because supposedly only something inside him will know how he ticks?[/note]?’
He glared at Shi Sheng and completely gave up on his plan. ‘With her personality, it would be a miracle if the Young Master survived a month!’
……
The rest of the students at Mt. Shaoyang had also been rescued, and other than Bei Ze whose waist had been injured and Ji Xiaoyu who had caught a cold, everyone else had come out unscathed. Bei Ze’s parents rushed back from abroad. Their souls had nearly been scared out of their bodies when they saw their son lying on the hospital bed.
“Where’s Bei Zhi?” The first person Bei Ze asked about was Bei Zhi and not Ji Xiaoyu.
Ji Xiaoyu’s expression changed. “She’s fine. She’s accompanying Senior Fu Qin upstairs right now.”
Bei Ze’s expression darkened. ‘Fu Qin…’
“Ah Ze, I heard that it was Xiaozhi who brought Senior Fu Qin off the mountain,” Ji Xiaoyu said in a small voice. “Are they dating?”
“Get lost!” All of a sudden Bei Ze lost his temper. Father Bei and Mother Bei had just walked in and they halted at the doorway.
“What’s going on?” Mother Bei smiled, attempting to resolve the situation. “The two of you had a fight? Xiaoyu’s a girl so you have to give in to her more, kiddo.”
“Get out!” Bei Ze launched his pillow at the doorway. “All of you, get out!”
The rims of Ji Xiaoyu’s eyes reddened, and she ran out sobbing. Father Bei and Mother Bei looked at each other. With their son’s current state of mind, all they could do was leave.
