Chapter 5: The Most Difficult to Endure the Favor of a Beauty

Lin Shishi turned around to look at Xiao Yu and said, "Can you... wait for me here?" Xiao Yu understood the implication behind her words and nodded, saying, "Alright, to be honest, I feel a bit sensitive whenever I hear the word 'hospital' now, so it's better for me to wait for you outside!"

Lin Shishi tested the water temperature and brought the cup to Xiao Yu's lips. Xiao Yu smiled mischievously and said, "Why are you being so nice to me?" Lin Shishi's face turned red at his question and she replied, "Thank you for saving me..." Xiao Yu touched the rim of the cup with his lips and then pulled back, deliberately saying, "I can't reach it!" Blushing, Lin Shishi picked up a spoon from the bedside and carefully fed the water to Xiao Yu's mouth.

Lin Shishi's eyes were somewhat red. She did not sit beside Xiao Yu, but instead opened the back door and took a seat in the rear. It was evident that her mood was quite low. Xiao Yu started the car, realizing that sometimes it is better to remain silent.

The tail wore a look of grievance.

"Oh! Your face is flushed; could it be that you have fallen for the tail?" Xiao Yu said with a mischievous smile.

"Yi Jie is just Yi Jie. When I, Xiao Yu, lift my butt, you will know how many donkey droppings I have!" Xiao Yu was flattering Ma Xinyi, and Ma Xinyi couldn't help but laugh: "A Yu, stop talking nonsense with me... Hehe..."

Lin Shishi nodded and got into the car with Xiao Yu

The tail widened its eyes: "Brother Yu, I truly admire you. How could you guess that it was Master Tan on the phone?" Xiao Yu chuckled. In fact, from the moment Long San's whip was taken by Master Tan, he had already suspected that Master Tan had arranged for Lin Shishi to arrive at the venue. As the leader of the Qinglong Gang, he had to provide an explanation to Xiao Yu regarding the organization. As Liang Baichen's cousin, he also had to face his wife and family. Master Tan must have understood the entire situation. This punishment, which seemed severe, was actually a covert favoritism towards him, and Xiao Yu felt deeply moved.

Xiao Yu closed the car door: "You can take a taxi back by yourself, I'm feeling annoyed!" The tail thumped against the car door.

"Get lost!" Xiao Yu said irritably

Xiao Yu... I... woke up and couldn't see you, thinking something had happened to you again... I was so... scared..." Lin Shishi's tears could not help but flow down. At that moment, she noticed Ma Xinyi beside her and couldn't help but blush. Ma Xinyi saw her embarrassment: "A Yu, I should be leaving now, I won't interrupt your conversation. You can rest assured about the New Year charity fundraising; I will take care of everything. You just enjoy your festival!"

As she pushed open the door, Lin Shishi happened to return from outside, and with a mysterious smile directed at her, hurriedly left.

Lin Shishi finally saw Xiao Yu, her eyes revealing a look of surprise, which quickly faded away.

Lin Shishi smiled at him and walked inside, while Xiao Yu, feeling bored, turned on the radio to search for interesting programs. At that moment, the phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the number and realized it was his mother, Fang Xiaoyun, calling.

Lin Shishi whispered: "Because you are my lifesaver"

In the afternoon, Ma Xinyi came to see him. Lin Shishi, as it seems, was truly exhausted, still lying in bed sound asleep. Upon seeing Lin Shishi on the bed, Ma Xinyi gave a mysterious smile to Xiao Yu and tiptoed over. She placed a bouquet of carnations at the foot of the bed, carefully pulled a stool in front of Xiao Yu, and whispered, "Ah Yu! You have quite the fortune with women!" Xiao Yu deliberately put on a helpless expression and replied, "A man with charm is really quite bothersome!"

The tail stuck out its tongue: "I have the utmost admiration for you, Brother Yu. The little knowledge I possess is laid bare before you. I won't take up your rest time; I shall take my leave..."

The place Lin Shishi is going to is not far; it is Anhe Hospital, which is less than a five-minute drive from here. Xiao Yu learned from the hospital's introduction that this is a hospice care facility, and he does not understand why Lin Shishi wants to come here

Lin Shishi has resigned! The tail bravely said.

"Why not? If I can run a marathon, driving is no problem. Get in the car quickly; I'll take you back to Champs-Élysées first, and then I'll go home myself"

Xiao Yu!" Lin Shishi anxiously called out his name. Ma Xinyi and Xiao Yu simultaneously looked towards the hospital room. Lin Shishi seemed not to have noticed Xiao Yu's presence, and she was on the verge of tears.

Lin Shishi inexplicably arrived at the bedside: "Why is Tail Brother laughing so strangely?" Xiao Yu chuckled: "He said he has fallen in love with you!" Lin Shishi blushed and retorted, "You’re talking nonsense, he is doing well with Sister Lina!"

So simple

Lin Shishi! She is wearing a white pure cotton stand-collar shirt on her upper body, paired with sky-blue denim overalls on her lower body, and brown suede leather shoes on her feet, simple yet charming. She is holding a bouquet of freshly picked wildflowers, walking towards the sunlight, with the midday sun perfectly outlining her beautiful and flawless silhouette

Xiao Yu raised his fist and said, "Are you asking for a beating, kid?" The tail handed over a note: "Lin Shishi's phone number and address!" Xiao Yu immediately changed his expression and smiled, saying, "Are you deliberately messing with me, kid?"

I want to tell you something. I just met a girl who is really nice to me. The reason I am not leaving this time is because of her

The foolish leopard placed a multi-layered lunch box on the bedside table: "The royal chef of the Lion King Palace specially prepared bird's nest porridge for you, along with four exquisite stir-fried dishes!" Xiao Yu smiled broadly: "Please thank him for me!"

I just want to see you

When Xiao Yu woke up again, he found himself lying on a hospital bed. The ward was spacious and quiet, with a pale pink ceiling and light blue walls. A vase full of fresh flowers was placed on the bedside table, and the window curtains were sky blue, adding an extra touch of elegance

Xiao Yu had not yet fully recovered, and after taking a few steps, he had to stop to catch his breath and rest. When he happened to lift his head, he suddenly saw a pure girl walking towards him.

Xiao Yu finally managed to get into a wheelchair with the help of Ma Xinyi from www.hetushu.com. Ma Xinyi quietly pushed him out the door and onto the grass in front of the building. After all this effort, Xiao Yu was drenched in sweat; he wiped his forehead with a towel and let out a long sigh, saying, "I could hardly breathe." Ma Xinyi laughed and replied, "Ah Yu! Even though you are lying in the hospital, you still have a beauty by your side, enjoying the pleasures of life. What are you complaining about!"

Xiao Yu hurriedly called out to her: "I am fine, just a bit tired. Please help me raise the bed a little!"

What’s wrong? Are you feeling down? I’ll treat you to lunch at noon and we can have a good chat!

Lin Shishi had already fallen asleep beside him, a crystal tear lingering on her cheek. Xiao Yu's subtle movement startled Lin Shishi awake. She instinctively wiped her tears and, upon seeing that Xiao Yu was already awake, revealed an immensely relieved smile

Xiao Yu squinted his eyes and shouted loudly: "Beautiful woman!"

"Today is already the twenty-seventh day of the year, do you still plan to return to Beijing for the New Year?" Fang Xiaoyun asked with concern

The tail smiled and said: "Brother Yu, to be honest, I can't even get close to that level of meeting. Lin Shishi kept asking me to take her to find you; she was crying so pitifully. Fortunately, a phone call came in at that moment. Can you guess who it was from?"

Xiao Yu noticed that Lin Shishi's eyes were slightly puffy, and he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. "Shishi! You look tired too; why don't you take a nap on the bed next to me?"

Xiao Yu turned around to look at Ma Xinyi and said, "Sister Yi, it seems that I will have to lie down for at least a week this time. You will need to put in extra effort for the New Year charity fundraising!"

Xiao Yu did not insist, parking the car at the intersection: "Well... I won't see you off today!" Lin Shishi nodded, waved goodbye to Xiao Yu, and turned to walk home

"I received it. Your return makes me happier than any gift!" Fang Xiaoyun said, her voice trembling as she felt a wave of emotion.

Xiao Yu laughed so hard that his wound hurt, while Lin Shi Shi shyly lowered her head. Lina playfully scolded the tail: "You think everyone is just like you!" The tail laughed and hugged Lina: "If you think my character is lacking, then I’ll go buy a good set to improve it later!" Lina gave his head a light knock: "Improve your dead head." Yet she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Lin Shishi slightly raised the bed and brought over a soft cushion for Xiao Yu to rest his head on. Xiao Yu noticed that Shabi and the others were not here, and he asked curiously, "Where are Brother Bao and the others?" Lin Shishi poured a glass of water for Xiao Yu and replied, "They went to see Liang Baichen!" Xiao Yu frowned slightly.

How could I dare? I originally wanted to tell you in the car, but who knew you, Yu Ge, would prioritize beauty over friendship! Now you have to take me back!" Xiao Yu laughed and waved goodbye to the tail: "Sorry, brother, I'm in a hurry!" With a press of the accelerator, the Citroën sped away, leaving the tail fuming and stamping his feet behind.

Xiao Yu glanced at the calendar in the car; he had been lying in the hospital for these days and truly had not paid attention to the date. "I guess I won't be able to go back. I'm quite busy here. By the way! Have you received the gift I sent you?"

Leaning closer to his ear, he whispered, "Yu Ge! This girl Lin Shishi is really quite remarkable. You have been in a coma for two days, and she has stayed by your side for those two days. No matter who offers to take her place, she refuses. For you, she has even cried her eyes swollen..." Xiao Yu shot him a glare, saying, "Damn! Are you being ridiculous? Did Lina put you up to this?"

Where is this

Ma Xinyi suddenly recalled something: "Ayu, the matter between you and Liang Baichen has already attracted the attention of many people in the martial world. There is something I must remind you of: sometimes it is better to be low-key in life!" Xiao Yu nodded, knowing that Ma Xinyi's words represented not only her personal opinion but possibly also the thoughts of Song Laohui. His conspicuous behavior after joining the Qinglong Gang had certainly raised the vigilance of many.

Ma Xinyi almost laughed out loud. Xiao Yu had been lying down for two days and was already somewhat impatient. He pointed to the wheelchair in the room, indicating for Ma Xinyi to help him sit up.

You are awake, I will go notify the nurse

Xiao Yu asked with great interest, "What is so mysterious? Let's open it and take a look!" The tail laughed and said, "You asked me to say it!" He and several other brothers spoke in unison, loudly declaring, "It's nothing but tiger whip, deer whip, dog whip, seahorse... all of them are potent aphrodisiacs. May our Brother Yu ride swiftly, with every whip in place, and possess an extraordinary masculine charm that surpasses the past!"

Xiao Yu still appeared somewhat unsteady while walking. The tail wanted to assist him but was rejected. Xiao Yu limped as he opened the car door and took a seat in the driver's position

"So you must have fallen for someone else?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile, "Tell me who that guy is, and I'll take care of it for you!" Lin Shishi then realized that Xiao Yu was deliberately teasing her, and she glared at him in anger.

The door suddenly opened, and a large group of people, including Shabao, Weiba, and Lina, squeezed in, carrying a big pile of gift boxes. As soon as Lina entered, she exclaimed: "I have said long ago that Yu Ge is pretending to be ten times more ill than he actually is. You all said he was seriously injured, but it turns out he was secretly hiding here enjoying a world for two!" Her words made Lin Shishi's face turn red to the roots of her ears, and the water from the spoon accidentally splashed into Xiao Yu's nose, causing him to choke all over his face and body, which made everyone present burst into laughter.

It's over, there's no chance for us!

"Tail! Tell me the truth, how did you take Lin Shishi to the club?"

Ma Xinyi's reminder gradually calmed Xiao Yu, who had just joined the club with fervor. In the recent conflict with Liang Baichen, he relied more on his personal courage and an arrogant disregard for everything. However, if that day Shalao and Weiba had not intervened in time, he might have been the one to fall. Perhaps it is time for him to consider whether there are better ways to handle such crises.

I won't pay attention to you anymore, hetushu.com! Lin Shishi angrily walked to the side

Of course ... ... Lin Shishi evaded Xiao Yu's gaze and came to stand behind him. Xiao Yu noticed that Lin Shishi was a particularly shy girl, but he wondered why such a girl would choose to work in a nightclub. After some thought, he ultimately decided not to ask, as everyone has their own secrets they prefer to keep hidden. If she did not wish to speak about it, his inquiry might only provoke her wariness and resentment.

Lin Shishi has resigned! The tail repeated it once more

Lin Shishi felt her long eyelashes shyly droop when she heard Xiao Yu call her so affectionately. She gently responded with an "mm," raising her head: "But you have to... wait for me to feed you the bird's nest..."

Little Universe

Since Xiao Yu was able to get out of bed and move around, Lin Shi Shi's visits gradually became less frequent. Each time she came, she would only hurriedly exchange a few words with Xiao Yu before leaving the hospital. It seemed as if their relationship had reverted to that of a boss and an employee.

I will give this to you!'' Xiao Yu pointed to the car in the distance

I apologize, but I have something to attend to at noon. You can just park at the intersection; I will walk back myself. Lin Shishi coldly declined Xiao Yu's kindness.

"How did you come here?" Lin Shishi made a concerted effort to slow her pace, yet Xiao Yu could still discern her inner turmoil from the sudden change in her rhythm

Xiao Yu chuckled: "Alright, Sister Ma, please don't belittle me. My brother got beaten up so badly that he looked like a rotten pear, and he almost started squeaking like a cricket!"

The tail placed the gift box on the empty bed beside it: "These are all from the brothers, and I have already written the names. Later, Brother Yu, you can open it yourself and take a look!"

Xiao Yu widened his eyes: "What? What did you say?"

Ma Xinyi gently patted Xiao Yu's shoulder: "A Yu, that girl seems to really love you..." Xiao Yu waved his hand in the direction of Lin Shishi

As he watched Lin Shishi's figure disappear into the depths of the alley, Xiao Yu couldn't help but curse himself: "I'm such a fool, coming all this way just to see someone with a cold face!"

Xiao Yu chuckled: "During the New Year celebrations, you all are getting sentimental here. I truly have matters to attend to. How about this: you and Uncle Pang go buy a computer, and let that kid Tang Liang install the video for you. I will definitely come to wish you a Happy New Year on the first day of the lunar new year!"

Mom! Since arriving here, the relationship between Xiao Yu and his mother has suddenly become much closer

After being cooped up in the hospital for a full seven days, Xiao Yu finally awaited the day of his stitches being removed. Fortunately, being young and strong, he recovered quickly. Aside from the two deeper knife wounds on his back, which might leave scars, the rest of his body had basically returned to normal. Shalao had originally promised to pick him up, but due to a last-minute issue, he had Tail to drive over instead.

The tail smiled and said: "Brother Yu! Are you sending me off or going to see someone?"

"You little rascal, stop disgusting me!" Ma Xinyi scolded with a smile

Xiao Yu turned on the speaker, and coincidentally, a CD of Faye Wong was playing. Xiao Yu skillfully changed the subject: "I think your singing is better than hers!" Lin Shishi remained silent.

This is hetushu.com. It is the largest private hospital in Tainan, Jici Hospital. I heard that Mr. Tan holds a significant number of shares here. Xiao Yu felt relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about the police coming to interrogate him. Having a lot of money is truly wonderful; everything from food, clothing, and entertainment to medical care is all taken care of in one go. At his current level, he could only go to the Jingde Clinic for medical treatment.

Lin Shishi saw Xiao Yu and hurriedly ran over, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears

Xiao Yu glared at him and said, "Why do you have so much nonsense, you brat?"

"Pah! You even deny your own mother for her?" Fang Xiaoyun appeared psychologically unbalanced, then laughed again. After a while, she asked, "So... you and Xiaoyue..."

Lin Shishi explained, "It is Mr. Tan's intention!" Xiao Yu nodded, glancing out the window. Below was a lush green meadow, where many patients were strolling with the accompaniment of nurses.

"Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier?" As soon as Xiao Yu heard this, he became anxious, his eyes seeming to blaze with fire, while his tail playfully wagged as he attempted to jump into the car

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Tan!"

He saw Lin Shishi's face turn towards the window through the rearview mirror. She occasionally wiped the corners of her eyes with a tissue, looking as if she had been crying very sadly

Xiao Yu, panting and laughing, said: "I came all the way here, you have to invite me to your home for a visit, right?" Lin Shishi's face turned slightly red: "My home is at the end of the street, but... I just happen to have something to attend to..."

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Shishi with affection and asked, "Why are you so nervous about me?"

Xiao Yu arrived at a place called "Liuyun Alley" according to the address on the note. This is a quaint little street that embodies the charm of the water towns in Jiangnan, with ancient and elegant arcades on both sides. The winding pebble path, smoothed and gleaming from the night dew and gentle rain, adds to its allure. The air carries a refreshing cleanliness, and Xiao Yu parked his vehicle in the spacious area in front of the "Banshan Teahouse" before walking towards Lin Shishi's home.

Fang Xiaoyun sighed: "In fact, that girl Xiaoyue is quite good..." Xiao Yu fell silent. He suddenly noticed that Lin Shishi had come to his side at some point and quickly said: "Alright! Let's leave it at that for today. If we continue, your grocery money for this month will be gone!" He hung up the phone

Xiao Yu dialed Lin Shishi's number while driving, but the other party's phone remained switched off. Lin Shishi's home is located in the suburbs of Tainan City, near the university town. It took Xiao Yu nearly forty minutes to drive from the city center to there

When they left, Xiao Yu kept the tail behind, as there was a question he had always wanted to ask it. Lin Shishi noticed they had something to discuss and took the opportunity to step out and inquire about Xiao Yu's condition, avoiding the situation for a moment.

Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to extend your holiday

Brother Yu! Are you capable of this?" The tail was filled with skepticism.

She carried a beautiful fruit basket and placed it beside Xiao Yu: "Brother Yu, this is a gift from all the young ladies of Xiang Xie Li She for you. Although it may not be valuable, it is made by all of us sisters with our own hands!" Xiao Yu nodded, touched.
