After dinner, everyone put out the fire and returned to their rooms.
Su Yaoguang was about to lie down when she suddenly remembered that among the patients, there was a three-year-old child who had been vomiting and having diarrhea today. She wasn’t sure how he was doing and felt a bit uneasy, so she got up immediately.
All the women of the Su Family were sleeping here, and she was in the middle, so she had to be careful when getting up so as not to wake the others. At this moment, everyone else was already dressed and asleep, with even breaths and weariness etched on their faces.
The men, namely Zhou Wangshu, Wang Huanzhi, and the brothers Zhen Yuanfang, were staying in the room next door. If anything happened, a single call could bring them over.
She dressed up, went out with a lantern, and walked lightly toward the children’s area among the patients.
Not only were the patients divided into areas based on the severity of their illness, but also by age, such as children, young adults, and the elderly. The children’s area was further divided into zones for mild and severe illnesses; the young adult area was not only divided into mild and severe zones but also into men’s and women’s zones; the elderly were similarly separated by mild and severe and also divided by gender.
The children’s area was the closest to where Su Yaoguang and others were resting, and the environment there was also the best. This is because children are more fragile and cannot afford any negligence; they must be given focused attention.
As Su Yaoguang just stepped out, someone in the room next door opened their eyes. Recognizing her by the sound of her footsteps, they quietly got out of bed and followed.
"Fortunately, it’s nothing serious." Su Yaoguang touched the child’s forehead, confirming that he was no longer feverish, and felt his pulse.
Since she was here, she decided to check on the other children as well. Su Yaoguang examined each of the children, her face softening as she looked at them sleeping peacefully.
At this moment, she seemed to be enveloped in a halo of silver light, like a celestial being descended to redeem the world.
Zhou Wangshu stood at the doorway, watching her tuck the children in and take each of their pulses, checking their body temperatures. He suddenly found the scene so beautiful that he didn’t want to disturb it at all.
After finishing her rounds, Su Yaoguang exited, yawning, ready to return to her room to rest. Suddenly, someone sprang out and blocked her path.
"Yaoguang..." Xiao Yanci, dressed in white undergarments and with hair draped over his shoulders, blocked her like a sickly beauty. "Why don’t you come to see me? I’m nearly on my deathbed here."
Su Yaoguang looked at Xiao Yanci with a half-smile, then kicked him. With a thud, Xiao Yanci knelt on the ground and knocked his head loudly against the floor.
"Ah..." Xiao Yanci cried out in pain.
Su Yaoguang looked at him indifferently: "Student Xiao, have you lost your mind from illness? I’m not your mother. Why does your sickness concern me, and why should I come to see you? You’re only here because I don’t want to be talked about. If I could, I’d rather place you with the livestock."
"Yaoguang, how can you be so heartless?" Xiao Yanci looked at her unwillingly. "I am the one you love, why have you changed?"
"Heh... who do you think you are to be the one I love? Hear me, Xiao Ci, you’re so ugly that you can’t even compare to one of Wang Shu’s fingers. Stop shaming yourself."
A kick came from behind, forcing Xiao Yanci forward until he hit the opposite pillar. With a bang, his consciousness turned hazy, and he lay there motionless.
Su Yaoguang looked at the scene in astonishment and then raised her gaze to Zhou Wangshu, who emerged from the darkness: "When did you get here?"
Zhou Wangshu was wearing only a light garment, his hair also loose, and his delicate features took on a mysterious allure in the night, like an alluring fox spirit.
"I was going to the restroom and heard some commotion here, so I came to check it out. I didn’t expect to see such a shameless fellow. Why does he always think you fancy him? What did you do to him?"
Su Yaoguang: "... Perhaps I often give him trouble, and he’s got issues, getting addicted to my abuse."
Zhou Wangshu stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression: "So, he has that kind of kink."
Su Yaoguang looked at Xiao Yanci lying there, pondering his mentality.
This Xiao Yanci really has no sense of shame, utterly disgraceful.
Since he has been reborn, he should have stayed far away from her. After all, in the past life, she died by his hand.
In the last moment of her previous life, although he didn’t swing the knife, the invisible blades pierced her heart, making her life feel worse than death.
In this life, having been reborn, she hasn’t provoked him. She had ’let him go’ already, so he should be tied with that vile woman and not come to ruin others.
Why does he still dare to shamelessly seek her out, speaking nonsensical words?
Could it be that he doesn’t remember those final memories?
Because he doesn’t know she died by his hand, he thinks she should be devoted to him like the previous life, full of him in her sight?
Su Yaoguang seemed to understand.
Zhou Wangshu leaned in close to her ear and asked, "Is it nice to look at?"
Su Yaoguang returned to her senses, looking confusedly at the youth beside her: "Hmm?"
As she turned her head, she saw an enlarged handsome face, those peach blossom eyes glowing brightly in the darkness, more mysterious and dazzling than the stars in the sky.
"Beautiful," she instinctively replied.
Zhou Wangshu: "..."
He glared at her, puffing his cheeks in anger.
He strode away, as if a gust of wind was under his feet.
Su Yaoguang quickly caught up: "Hey, you misunderstood, I meant you are beautiful, not the pig lying on the ground..."
Zhou Wangshu slowed his steps.
In this temple, there are all sorts of unsavory types. Although she’s strong as an ox, in the end, she’s just a young girl, not undefeatable. If she encounters a tough opponent, she might suffer a loss. Yet she fails to realize this, always wanting to take the lead, charging forward without regard for consequences.
Su Yaoguang caught up with Zhou Wangshu, saying, "Eight more patients recovered today. They didn’t leave immediately after recovering but stayed to take care of other patients. If things continue like this, soon all the patients will be cured."
Zhou Wangshu looked at the glowing Su Yaoguang: "What are you working so hard for?"
Su Yaoguang looked at Zhou Wangshu: "In this lifetime, not everything we do has to have a personal purpose. Such natural disasters can’t be fought by one person, but when everyone unites, we can overcome them. Besides, who doesn’t know us at Taoyao Square now? Doing good deeds while gaining fame and accumulating virtue, why not?"
"Su Da, go rest early. Tomorrow we continue the good deeds." Zhou Wangshu opened the door to the women’s quarters, watching her go inside before closing it again.
