Xi Ruzhu hurriedly fled the Xi family.
Afraid that those four terrifying Death Soldiers would catch up with her and take her life too.
She ran fast, and when she got to the hospital, no one caught up with her, finally allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.
Thinking now that Zuzi might already be in her dreams, being mercilessly handled by those ferocious bandits...
An inexplicable sense of ease filled her heart!
Her tense mood was also significantly soothed.
She was familiar with the place, took the elevator to Xi Yuanshan’s hospital room.
Pushing open the door, under the dim bedside lamp, Xi Yuanshan lay wearily against the head of the bed, his eyes half-closed, not knowing if he was asleep.
Xi Ruzhu carried a plastic box of five-yuan preserved egg and lean meat porridge from a street stall downstairs, ready to pour it into a slightly more refined bowl in the hospital room.
Suddenly, Xi Yuanshan opened his eyes.
The smell of congee made him sniff hard, and his strength returned to him as he said, "... Quickly, feed me..."
Xi Ruzhu said, "Wait a moment."
Before she could carry it over, Xi Yuanshan grabbed her small hand and, holding the plastic meal box, gulped down half the bowl of porridge in one go.
He choked and coughed.
Xi Ruzhu busily attended to him in a flurry.
After finally finishing feeding him a bowl of porridge, Xi Yuanshan revived a bit and, under the dim light, focused on Xi Ruzhu wiping the table.
The little dress had a V-neck.
Xi Yuanshan squinted, somewhat dazed, "Ah Mei...come over here..."
Xi Ruzhu was startled.
What, she had been tending to him for a while, and Xi Yuanshan still thought she was Fang Yumei?
Xi Yuanshan pulled her onto the bed, his face coming near like a headless fly groveling randomly.
Xi Ruzhu frantically protested, "I’m Zhuzhu, I’m not Fang..."
"You’re not Ah Mei? Then why are you here in the middle of the night? I see..." At this moment, Xi Yuanshan’s mind was filled only with his own pleasure, mumbling, "I know Zhuzhu, you’re the most sensible, unlike those women who only know money.
You’re loyal to me, aren’t you? Zhuzhu, serve me well, and I swear I’ll treat you well..."
Xi Ruzhu’s mind went blank.
He was now very clear on who she was?
After a brief moment of shock, she quickly regained her composure.
Wonderful, since Xi Yuanshan knew she was Zhuzhu and still treated her this way, this was... her golden opportunity to turn the tables.
She couldn’t miss it, even if it meant losing all shame; she couldn’t miss this chance to continue being the cherished one—
In the Nanshan Class classroom.
Classmates surrounded Xi Ruzhu, "Wow, Zhuzhu, where did you get this stationery? It’s so beautiful, it’s just as nice as what Miss Meng gave us yesterday."
Xi Ruzhu beamed, "My dad bought it for me."
"Zhuzhu, your family must be really rich, and your parents treat you so well!"
"Exactly, my dad’s so stingy, he never buys me stationery that costs more than five and a half yuan each, it’s outrageous! I really envy you having such a wonderful dad."
Xi Ruzhu felt even more delighted, her cheeks flushing like a shy bride’s, "It’s alright, my dad always fulfills my wishes."
"Ah, when dads spoil their daughters, it’s really a super spoil, they say it’s their previous life’s little lover..."
The classroom was filled with endless praises.
As Xi Rubao was passing by the Nanshan Class with Zuzi.
Hearing these few remarks, Xi Rubao couldn’t help but frown, "How disgusting, talking about a previous life’s little lover, don’t you find that analogy nauseating?"
Zuzi gave a faint smile and glanced nonchalantly at Xi Ruzhu, who was enjoying the attention like a moon surrounded by stars in the class, "Not really. Although, for some people, indeed... it is quite sordid."
