Chapter 88 - The Plague

When Lin Sitong walked out of the sickroom, Gu Ming looked at the woman on the sickbed and said, "Mom, the discharge procedures have been completed, we can go back now."

The woman nodded. She stood up and couldn't help but look at the door to the ward. It was already empty.

Wu Yakke followed the woman's gaze and looked over. He could not help but ask, "Mom, what are you looking at?"

The woman shook her head and withdrew her gaze.

After a while, she hesitated and said, "You guys say …" Is there a person who looks very similar in the world? "

Wu Yakke answered without thinking, "Someone who looks very similar must be related by blood."

The woman paused for a moment and murmured thoughtfully, "Blood relations huh …"

"Mom, what's wrong with you today? "It's weird." Wu Yakke was a little doubtful.

The woman lifted her eyes and hesitated for a moment. She shook her head and said half-heartedly, "It's nothing …"

Nan Nan, who was in her embrace, once again chirped that he wanted her to accompany him out to play. Wu Yko lowered her head and coaxed him patiently, and very quickly, she tossed this matter to the back of her mind.

Lin Sitong took the medicine and walked toward Xia Xiao An's sickroom. Along the way, she saw doctors and nurses running towards him as if they were hiding from some kind of plague god.

Lin Sitong had already been numb to this scene for the past few days. The first day would be strange, but it would become common.

As Lin Sitong walked closer, she couldn't help but sigh when she saw the figure of the man in front of the sickroom.

It really was a god of pests …

In the past few days, whenever Lin Sitong came over, she would always see Feng Ye silently standing at the ward's door.

The imposing man stood there, so frightened that both the patient and the nurse and the doctor took a detour. However, it was as if he had never noticed the people around him. His cold and deep gaze never left the small piece of glass as he looked at Xia Xiaoshan who was in the ward.

He didn't seem like a mafia lord, but an ordinary man trapped in love.

Lin Sitong had pretended not to see it the previous few times, only seeing the sparsely populated corridor. She could not help but sigh, "Why not go in?"

Feng Ye looked at Lin Sitong with his sinister eyes, and did not speak.

"All right. We can arrange for her to leave the hospital today. " Lin Sitong did not plan to continue asking, he opened the door and walked in.

"Little An, how are you feeling today?"

Lin Sitong came in with the medicine and saw that Xia Xiao An had already sat up. Even though her face was still somewhat pale, it was already better than a few days ago.

Upon seeing Lin Sitong enter, Xia Xiao An revealed a bashful and beautiful smile towards Lin Sitong.

These past few days, had been taking care of Xia Xiao An. After a few days, the two of them gradually became more familiar with each other, and even the way they addressed each other became "Santong" and "Xiao An".

Regarding this, Pei Qingheng was extremely jealous.

"Why did she call you Lotton so soon?"

And he was very sincere about it.

"You can consider treating me like you treated Miss Xia."

However, Lin Sitong could only reply to him —

"Hur hur."

How could the friendship between girls be easily seen through by men like you?

Lin Sitong also smiled at Xia Xiao An, "Have you eaten something this morning?"

Xia Xiaoshan nodded slightly. With a slight frown, she said, "Every meal is fish soup …"

Seeing Xia Xiao An's vexed expression, Lin Sitong couldn't help but laugh. "Are you tired of eating?"

Xia Xiao An nodded with some annoyance.

"Let's talk to Mr Feng at noon and ask the kitchen to change some light fruits and vegetables." Lin Sitong suggested.

Xia Xiaoling paused for a moment before shaking his head. "It's alright …" This way is also fine. "

While Lin Sitong was quickly giving Xia Xiao An fluids, she casually chatted, "Today, this is the last bottle of medicine ~ Once you hang it up, you'll be free from the hospital."

He had thought that Xia Xiaoshan would be happier upon hearing this news. He hadn't expected Xia Xiaoshan to lose all spirit. "So soon?"

Lin Sitong looked at Xia Xiao An in shock, "What's wrong?"

Xia Xiao An shook his head and forced a smile, "No, I just didn't expect it to be this fast."

But your expression doesn't seem like you're fine at all... Lin Sitong muttered in his heart, and probed: "You … Don't you want to go home? "

"No …" Xia Xiao An's fingers moved nervously as he held onto the quilt. "Then …" "It's not my home either."

"You and Mr Feng …?" Lin Sitong frowned slightly. Seeing Xia Xiao An's pale face, she said, "I'm just casually asking. If you don't want to say it, then don't mention it."

Xia Xiaoshan pursed her lips, her long eyelashes quivering slightly. "It's not something that cannot be said …"

After saying that, Xia Xiaoshan became silent again.

Lin Sitong sat beside Xia Xiao An's sickbed, and for a moment, was extremely regretful why she had raised this question.

After a long while, Xia Xiaoshan finally spoke, "Actually... My relationship with Mr Feng is not what you think. We... Not a couple, not even a lover. "

Xia Xiao An's hand tightly held onto the quilt, but her calm tone of voice made Lin Sitong feel somewhat uncomfortable. It's a mortgage to Mr Feng. "

Mortgage?!

Lin Sitong was dumbstruck for a moment. In this society ruled by law in the 21st century, there was such a thing as a mortgaged population?!

When Xia Xiao An saw the expression on Lin Sitong's face, he smiled bitterly: "You didn't hear wrong, it's just a pledge."

Xia Xiao An lowered her eyes and continued, "My ex-boyfriend owes Mr Feng a lot of money. When he first started working in society, he borrowed money and bought a car. He told me that he would let me live a good life … I believe it. "

A faint smile appeared on Xia Xiaoshan's face, but his eyes were filled with tears.

"Later on, he started to borrow money to treat his friends to a meal and buy expensive gifts for others. I advised him to stop doing this and he refused to listen either … After that, the more money he owed, the more he owed. In order to repay the money, he started to borrow money nonstop. The more money he owed, the more he owed. In the end, he could no longer afford to pay. He wanted to sell me to a creditor, and then … "

Xia Xiaoshan thought back to that day when he was on the verge of despair. A tall, cold, and cruel man had suddenly appeared. It was as if he was the savior of the world and had pulled the creditor away from him.

At the beginning, the creditor still dared to clamor, "Who are you people? "How dare you disturb my interest?!"

Feng Ye sat on the only chair in the room and looked down at the man from up high. His eyes were sinister and he looked at the man as if he was an ant: "Which hand touched her?"

"Not only did I touch her, I even want to fuck her!" The creditor's attitude was extremely arrogant.
