204: Chapter 203: It’s All Your Fault!
(Revised Chapter) 204: Chapter 203: It’s All Your Fault!
(Revised Chapter) Before they knew it, the eastern sky was already showing the first light of dawn.
Ye Chuxue nestles in Li Chen’s arms, sweetly asleep.
At this moment, the ringtone of a cell phone suddenly went off.
Li Chen, without checking whose phone it was, casually pressed the answer button.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Li Chen, why is it you?
Isn’t this Chuxue’s phone?”
Li Chen, still groggy from sleep, pushed Ye Chuxue directly and said, “Xue’er, it’s Aunt Tang’s call!”
Ye Chuxue rubbed her sleepy eyes and instinctively called out.
“Mom, it’s early in the morning, do you need something?”
On the other end of the line, Aunt Tang felt somewhat disheveled.
Hearing her daughter’s sleepy and languid voice, it was clear she was not yet awake… Any sane person could guess what was going on, let alone the highly educated Tang Lan.
Sigh, these kids are really not making it easy for us parents.
Seems like I’ll have to find some time to have a proper talk with the two of them.
Actually, Tang Lan was not against her daughter being with Li Chen.
What worried her was that they were both still too young, not yet emotionally mature, and indulging too soon could adversely affect their future lives.
Tang Lan is not only a Doctor of Medicine but also has a Master’s degree in Psychology.
She knows well the principle that it’s better to guide than to block when it comes to teenagers with rebellious attitudes.
Therefore, she didn’t blame Ye Chuxue and Li Chen over the phone, only reminding them that the H7N9 virus was rampant in the city these days, with more than a dozen cases of people falling ill and perishing.
She warned them to be careful and to avoid consuming chicken, duck, pork, and other meats during this period.
And if symptoms like fever and cold arise, to go to the hospital for a check-up right away.
Regarding Aunt Tang’s numerous cautions, Li Chen took it as if it was a breeze brushing past his ears.
What a joke, in his previous life he was the Immortal Emperor, how could he possibly be afraid of the minor H7N9 virus?
However, Ye Chuxue was looking quite worried.
It was not the virus she was concerned about, but due to what her mother had said earlier, she felt uneasy.
After all, she had been the image of a well-behaved girl from childhood.
Now, under Li Chen’s influence, she had started to “go bad” bit by bit.
Ye Chuxue swung her fist and punched towards Li Chen’s chest.
“Hmph, it’s all your fault for leading me astray!”
Li Chen caught Ye Chuxue’s wrist with one hand and, with a pull, drew her into his embrace.
“Xue’er, what have I done?”
Ye Chuxue said, “I think my mom has figured out what’s going on between us!”
Li Chen looked innocent and said, “We haven’t done anything between us, purer than pure milk!”
Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes and said, “Please, holding a beauty like a jade in your arms but claiming innocence, who would believe that?”
Just then, there were only the two of them in the room.
With Li Chen silent, Ye Chuxue found the situation somewhat awkward and casually turned on the TV.
At that moment, the TV station was reporting on the H7N9 virus, at the location of the interview—Aunt Tang’s hospital, the First People’s Hospital of the city.
There were also some relatives of the patients, surrounding a bed covered with a white cloth, crying heartrendingly, touching and moving to the listener.
Aunt Tang stood there, her face weary, her eyes filled with helplessness and guilt.
“The flu virus is really terrible, killing so many people.
If only there was a specific medicine that could save their lives.
Then mom wouldn’t have to work so hard!” Ye Chuxue’s eyes reddened as she talked to herself.
Li Chen’s eyes darted around and inadvertently landed on the nearly completed Cloud Mountain Formation.
The main reason that the human body gets infected with the flu virus is the lack of corresponding antibodies; low immunity allows the virus-laden red blood cells to invade and cause widespread pathological changes in healthy cells, resulting in organ failure and ultimately death.
If the Spirit Water is refined through the Cloud Mountain Formation and given to patients, as long as it’s not too late, a recovery is almost certain.
Thinking of this, Li Chen briefly shared his thoughts with Ye Chuxue.
Ye Chuxue was overjoyed and asked excitedly, “Really?”
Li Chen nodded and said, “Yeah, there’s a ninety percent chance.
