Chapter 58 Pork bone soup is such a perfect match!

To Wen Han's surprise, he had been waiting for Gu Cheng to "teach him a lesson," but in the end, he was unharmed, while Liu Chuanze got into trouble.

Jing Yu went out during evening self-study and came back looking rather grim. Wen Han took the note he had written.

Yanagawa Sawa was in a car accident.

Wen Han was tormented. After evening self-study ended, she said to Jing Yu, "Let's go to the hospital to get checked out."

On the way to the hospital in a taxi, Wen Han asked, "What happened?"

“He was hit on his way home from school.” Jing Yu handed the phone to Wen Han. “He’s not seriously injured, but he needs to be observed in the hospital for another day.”

A reckless middle school student rode a motorcycle without his parents' knowledge. Luckily, there were no traffic police on that stretch of road, and Liu Chuanze reacted quickly, noticing a car behind him and swerving in time. However, the middle school student, realizing he was about to hit someone, panicked and overturned his motorcycle. Liu Chuanze, not expecting this, was accidentally injured by the overturned motorcycle, and both ended up in the hospital.

This accident seems to be just that Liu Chuanze was unlucky to run into such a clown. But if it were just a simple car accident, Jingyu wouldn't have made a point of mentioning it.

That junior high school student is only 13 years old. He is usually well-behaved at school and at home and has never caused any trouble. How come he suddenly dared to go out on a motorcycle?

*

After entering the ward, Wen Han first looked Liu Chuanze up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Liu Chuanze's limbs were intact. She really couldn't imagine what would have happened if something was missing.

Liu Chuanze lay in bed watching TV, showing no signs of having been in a car accident. Liu Ruyan was heartbroken for him. Before going to the hospital, Wen Han even dragged Jing Yu to the restaurant across the street to buy bone broth.

"Where did you fall?" Wen Han asked, noticing that he wasn't wearing any plaster cast or bandages.

"I broke my head." Liu Chuanze lifted his bangs on his left forehead with one hand, revealing the wound.

Wen Han frowned unconsciously. Liu Chuanze let his bangs down when he saw him coming. Wen Han reached out and brushed his bangs aside, then leaned closer to look. Liu Chuanze had just had a stitched-up wound above his eyebrow, a full length of his little finger, and it looked painful.

Wen Han asked worriedly, "Won't this leave a scar?"

Liu Chuanze stared intently at his face: "I don't know, but what if he gets disfigured?"

Liu Ruyan wiped away her tears: "No, the doctor said that Alphas have strong recovery abilities and won't be disfigured."

Yanagawa Sawa: "......"

"The soup's getting cold." Jing Yu gently pulled Wen Han away and said considerately, "Why don't you sit down and rest?"

"Oh, I forgot." Wen Han let go of her hand. The aroma of the bone broth was so strong, and it wasn't cheap either. "I thought you had broken your bone, so I bought you some bone broth."

The large bowl of soup was full of pork bones; she had specifically paid extra to have more. Seeing Liu Chuanze eating with relish, Wen Han asked, "Is it good?"

"tasty."

Wen Han said with relief, "Then you should thank Jing Yu. He paid for it." It was a soup that cost over a hundred yuan a serving. If it wasn't good, Wen Han would hold them accountable.

Liu Chuanze suddenly felt that he was full.

As Liu Ruyan went to pay the fee, Wen Han asked, "Do you know that junior high school student?"

“I don’t know him.” Liu Chuanze shook his head. “But he and I went to the same school.”

Seeing Wen Han deep in thought, Liu Chuanze said easily, "It's nothing, it should just be an accident."

Wen Han always had two attitudes: if Gu Cheng encountered something like this, it must be divine retribution; if Liu Chuanze encountered something like this, it must be Gu Cheng's doing!

Jing Yu said, "His father is an accountant at the Gu family's branch office."

Wen Han walked over and whispered, "Could it be that Gu Cheng threatened him?"

Threatening a middle school student is despicable. Gu Cheng is truly pushing the boundaries of Wen Han's perception of him.

“He doesn’t have that much ability yet, and besides, how could Gu Cheng know a junior accountant at the branch office?” Jing Yu felt that Gu Cheng wasn’t that hardworking and ambitious.

"If it's not Gu Cheng, then it must be—Gu Yuan?" Gu Zong doesn't seem like the type to use such low-level tactics, so it can only be his stupid younger brother who is just as stupid as Gu Cheng.

"Making his son risk his life, this father is really ruthless. But he's just a lowly accountant, what could Gu Yuan possibly have done to him?"

“The trouble an accountant can get into can be quite big.” Jing Yu smiled at Wen Han’s troubled look, then shifted his gaze to Liu Chuanze, who was expressionless, and said, “This time you can only suffer in silence.”

Wen Han retorted, unconvinced, "Shouldn't we settle accounts with them?"

"At most, we'll lose money, since we don't have evidence of their transactions. Even if we did, we can't tell anyone."

After all, that's Gu's own business.

“Gu Zong is well-informed; he should already know,” Jing Yu said calmly. “Only he can handle this matter.”

Wen Han glanced at Liu Chuanze. Although nothing happened today, the troubles he would encounter in the future would definitely be considerable.

"We must meet less often from now on and only communicate online." If Gu Zong knew that the Jing family was behind this, he would definitely be wary of Liu Chuanze.

Liu Chuanze looked at Wen Han expectantly: "Can't you hang out with me anymore? We're still a couple."

Wen Han thought for a moment: "If all else fails, just tell me that I broke up with you so I could focus on my studies."

Liu Chuanze wanted Wen Han to stay a little longer, but Liu Ruyan advised, "Your brothers have to get up early for school tomorrow, how can they play around with you? You should go to sleep early, it's already so late."

Liu Chuanze's wound throbbed with pain. Jing Yu bid farewell to Liu Ruyan with great politeness, a proper smile still on his lips.

Liu Ruyan escorted them to the ward and watched Jing Yu and Wen Han's departing figures, sighing, "Oh, look how well these two kids match."

"How could you be worthy?" Liu Chuanze retorted, unconvinced.

"You're still young, of course you don't understand." Liu Ruyan turned off the light for him. "Don't stay up late, or you'll stunt your growth."

——

Wen Han sat on the bed, feeling very melancholy. Beside her lay the fat cat, Fei Nai'er, fast asleep. This fat cat lived a much more comfortable life than Wen Han; it woke up later and went to bed earlier than her. No one dared to bother it at home; if it was unhappy, it would just swat at her. Wen Ruan was studying when she heard the sound of bed sheets being rubbed against a washboard coming from the bathroom. When Wen Ruan returned, she found a small gift left on the bed sheet by Fei Nai'er.

From now on, it will only be up to Liu Chuanze to work hard. Wen Han believed that with such a unique name, he would not be easily defeated.

Worried that they might be thirsty, Wen Qingke poured a glass of water for Wen Han and Wen Ruan. Seeing that Wen Han looked downcast, he asked, "Hanhan, is it too hard studying at school?"

What a joke, how could studying possibly trouble him like this? Wen Han yawned, took a sip of water, and was about to go to sleep when there was another knocking sound from upstairs.

"What's going on?" Wen Han complained. "Haven't things been quiet for just a few days?"

Wen Ruan looked up: "They separated."

It was expected.

"I guess they're going to ask for child support again."

Wen Han chuckled twice, knowing he would most likely leave empty-handed.

But what if the other party gets angry and hurts the child when you take the child to ask for child support?

The sound of a door closing came from upstairs, and not long after, there was a knock on the Wen family's door. Wen Han had a bad feeling, and sure enough, when she returned, Wen Qingke was carrying a child.

Wen Qingke said awkwardly, "Hanhan, it's not easy for someone to raise a child alone. If she doesn't ask for money, what will the child eat? Milk powder is so expensive these days."

Considering that the other party is a single parent and it's not easy for them, Wen Han had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

Wen Ruan was quite happy to take care of the child. The child had big eyes, and Wen Han leaned over and sighed, "What if they start stabbing each other with knives and start arguing? What will you do if no one adopts them?"

Wen Ruan exclaimed in disbelief, "Wen Han!"

"How did they break up?" They were so poor yet dared to get married, and they argued every day but were so shameless that they made the neighbors take care of their child. Wen Han thought they would continue to be inseparable.

“That male Beta is rich, but he was kicked out of his family for eloping with his first love. The woman only recently found out that he had another child outside the marriage.” Wen Ruan teased the baby with a toy. “Since the man’s family is rich, the mistress brought the child to his parents. His parents were still angry that their son had run away, but they didn’t expect it to turn out like this. They were overjoyed and decided to abandon their son and raise the younger one instead. The man is an only child and always thought his parents would forgive him in the end. Now he’s panicked and immediately abandoned them and ran home to beg for forgiveness.”

Wen Han was silent for a while, wondering if he was speaking Chinese.

For those interested in ancient Chinese BL novels, you can check out the pre-orders in the author's column. The protagonist is a very cute, non-venomous snake [pity][pity]. Here is the synopsis [dog head with rose in hand]:

"You're the real Bamboo Leaf Viper!"

Liu Liu is a three-month-old green snake, the sixth child in her family. Her greatest love is for jewels and rare treasures, and her biggest dream is to cultivate into human form so she can enjoy wealth and luxury. She is obsessed with storybooks and hopes to one day meet a benefactor to whom she can repay her debt of gratitude.

Cultivation is hard work. Liu Liu secretly went down the mountain to play without telling her parents, but when she peeked out to watch others argue, she was mistaken for the neighbor's bamboo viper and almost got hit to death with a hammer.

You are the real Zhuyeqing, your whole family are Zhuyeqing!

When Liu Liu, with a swollen head, fled back to the mountain in a sorry state, he couldn't hold back any longer and found a cave to start howling, only to encounter another group of people.

Liu Liu: ...Mom, I'm not going back for dinner.

Just when Liu Liu thought he was about to die, his benefactor saved him. Liu Liu was mesmerized by the jade pendant at his benefactor's waist and immediately clung to it, refusing to let go, but he fainted due to his injuries. When Liu Liu woke up, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had transformed into human form and was still tightly holding a jade pendant in his hand.

Completely naked, Liu Liu was taken away by a kind young master. The master's house was drafty, but he gave Liu Liu a beautiful dress. The master was a scholar, and Liu Liu, having read too many stories, wanted to be a virtuous wife. However, one day the master told her that he was actually the mistress of an official, but he was only interested in pursuing fame and did not want to return to that house.

To repay the young master for the clothes and food, Liu Liu voluntarily took his place in the Yue family mansion, and from then on, he became Yue Zhongyun.

---

The Yue family recently brought home that illegitimate son of the concubine, whom they couldn't keep in the sight of. The First Madam thought his pupils were too dark and that he must be harboring evil intentions! As time went on, everyone discovered that he was nothing more than a good-for-nothing with a dull mind and handsome looks. In order to humiliate him, they ordered him to be the legitimate son's study companion.

Yue Zhongyun wanted to cry. Ever since he entered the manor, everyone had been targeting him. He used to be a snake and could eat meat often, but now he ate vegetables and tofu every day. He had never seen a snake that ate vegetables! One day, he found a dead rat and was about to eat it when he was caught by the eldest son and his cousin.

The rat was eventually stolen, and Yue Zhongyun was scolded. Thinking that the eldest son always deliberately made things difficult for him, Yue Zhongyun harbored resentment and wanted to push him into the water, but ended up falling into the river himself.

Glug glug...

Wait, I'm a snake, I should be able to swim! He twisted a couple of times, trying to swim ashore, when someone pulled him out.

Yue Zhongyun spat out a few mouthfuls of water, and in his blurred vision, he suddenly spotted a jade pendant that was exactly the same as his benefactor's.
