Chapter 636 The terminally ill rich girl (1)

Shi Yi woke up and was choked by the pungent smell of disinfectant in the hospital the moment she breathed. She opened her eyes.

Her best friend Wei Lan helped her sit up, glanced at the door, and said slowly, "He's here."

Shi Yi turned her back to him, making her attitude clear.

Wei Lan understood what she meant, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and walked out.

"Is she awake?" The young man in the white shirt came up to her with an anxious look on his face.

"She needs to rest. You go back first." Wei Lan blocked the door to prevent him from seeing into the ward.

Zou Xiu Yu took a step back with regret and whispered, "She doesn't want to see me."

"Mr. Zou, go back first. She will contact you when her condition gets better." Wei Lan gently closed the door and returned to Shi Yi's side.

Shi Yi had already figured out her current identity.

She was the only heir to the Wan Group, but unfortunately she had a congenital deficiency since birth. Wei Lan was her only friend since she was a child. Her private doctor said she might not live past the age of 25. So, when she turned 25, she went to the countryside to recuperate and live. Here, she encountered the disaster of her life - Zou Xiuyu.

Zou Xiuyu was a poor young painter who created countless works but did not sell any of them. Therefore, even though he had been in love with Zhu Jin, the only female college student in the village, for two years, he could not get the consent of Zhu Jin's family from beginning to end.

Zhu Jin's mother died early, and she was supported by her rich aunt since birth. She had a delicate personality but really liked Zou Xiuyu. After learning that Wan Shiyi, who suddenly settled in the village, was a rich girl, and accidentally learned that Wan Shiyi was suffering from a terminal illness, she had an idea. She asked her boyfriend Zou Xiuyu to approach Wan Shiyi. When Wan Shiyi died naturally, he could inherit the estate and then come back to marry her.

Zou Xiuyu liked Zhu Jin, and in order to get married and for the future of the two, he agreed to her plan.

Later, their plan went on normally. Wan Shiyi really fell in love with Zou Xiuyu and wanted to marry Zou Xiuyu. In order to give Zou Xiuyu a surprise, she secretly went abroad for treatment for half a year, which relatively extended her life for a period of time. Zhu Jin and Zou Xiu Yu revealed their true colors. When the three of them were traveling, they pushed her off the bell tower, pretending that she had accidentally fallen and died.

Now, Zou Xiu Yu has been in contact with her for a month, and knows that she has developed ambiguous feelings for him. He is preparing to listen to Zhu Jin's words and accompany her when she is sick to win her favor.

They calculated so much, and she naturally would not do as they wished.

Didn't Zou Xiu Yu want her to fall in love with him? Then, she would let him know who is the real hunter and who is the little white rabbit.

"Is he gone?" Shi Yi turned around and looked at Wei Lan beside the bed. She was also a friend who had been thinking about her wholeheartedly since childhood, and was also a good friend who collected her body in the end.

Wei Lan held her hand and whispered, "If you don't want to leave, why do you have to drive others away? You don't know that he has been staying outside since last night."

"Wei Lan, you are the one I don't want to leave the most in my heart." Shi Yi pinched her fingertips, and a mischievous smile appeared on his pale face, "Since he is willing to wait, let him wait a little longer."

"You." Wei Lan's finger poked her nose and gently scraped it down, and understood, "So it was a test."

"I'm hungry and want to eat soft-boiled eggs." Shi Yi wrinkled his nose and acted like a kitten, "Only add one spoonful of sugar and two spoonfuls of honey."

"Honey is so sweet, two spoonfuls are enough, and it will be sweeter if you add sugar." Wei Lan put her hand on the quilt and went to the cabinet to touch her wallet.

This is a rural area, there are no big restaurants, she can only go to the farmers outside and pay them to cook a bowl for her.

"I always feel that it won't be sweet without sugar." Shi Yi smiled and put his hand in the quilt.

In front of her most trusted friends, she can show her truest side.

"Okay. Just as you say. Two spoons of honey, one spoon of sugar, it'll be so sweet that you'll die." Wei Lan tapped her forehead with her finger and turned to go out the door.

Shi Yi lay quietly on the bed, lamenting that if Wei Lan wasn't around, he didn't know what to do.

When Zou Xiuyu saw Wei Lan coming out, he wanted to beg again to go in and see Shi Yi, but Wei Lan raised her hand to stop him. He sat back in his original position quietly and a little lonely.

He didn't know what happened to Shi Yi. Obviously, when she didn't have an attack yesterday, the two of them were still talking and laughing together and having a lot of fun.

Wei Lan looked back at the man sitting on the bench and shook her head slightly.

How could he be so cowardly if he really liked a girl? No one locked the door of the ward. If he was braver, he could just go in directly.

————

After eating the soft-boiled eggs, Shi Yi yelled that she wanted to be discharged from the hospital. Wei Lan knew that she didn't like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital. She advised her a few words but she didn't listen, so she stopped talking and annoying.

Shi Yi was helped out of the ward door by Wei Lan. Seeing the young man dozing on the bench, she turned her head to look at her friend beside her. When their eyes met, Wei Lan instantly understood her thoughts - she didn't want Zou Xiuyu to know that she was discharged from the hospital. So, she helped her turn around and walked to the back corridor.

Zhu Jin saw him accompany Wan Shi Yi to the hospital last night. Today, she went to his residence several times and didn't see him come back, so she knew that he was in the hospital with Wan Shi Yi. She was madly jealous, but she endured it.

If he succeeded in making Wan Shi Yi fall in love with her and then got Wan Shi Yi's inheritance, then her aunt would definitely agree to her marriage with him. Then she and he could leave this village and live in a wider place.

"Zhu Jin, why are you here?" She turned her head when she heard the voice, but she happened to see Wan Shi Yi and his good friend who were supposed to stay in the hospital smiling at her.

"I..." She thought for a moment and quickly found an excuse for herself, "I came here to see a sick relative and will be leaving soon." Her eyes fell on the thin woman and said with concern, "Ms. Wan, are you feeling better?"

"An old illness. Nothing much." Shi Yi took her hand enthusiastically and took the initiative to invite her, "You are the first friend I met in the village. Since we have the opportunity to meet today, you should come back with us and I will bake you an apple pie."

Faced with this sudden enthusiasm, Zhu Jin's body stiffened. She tried her best not to appear too resistant and politely refused, "No, I have a cough recently and I want to go to the hospital to see a doctor later." After that, she coughed a few times to suit the occasion.

Wei Lan was afraid that she would infect Shi Yi with her cough, so she quickly pulled Shi Yi away from her and said politely, "Then I'll invite you to my home next time I have the chance. Your cough is a bit serious, so you should go to the hospital as soon as possible."
