Chapter 102 Wrestling
After returning home, Gu Yihan quickly washed up and lay in bed thinking about what had happened at the hospital.
Gu Yihan herself didn't believe her own fabricated excuse. She murmured to herself, "Lu Huailin actually believed it?"
The little hamster suddenly spoke up, interrupting Gu Yihan's thoughts: "You've already smuggled the little bottle from your spatial dimension into your lunchbox bag."
"That country bumpkin Lu Huailin would never know you have a spatial ability, no matter how hard he tries."
Gu Yihan's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the little hamster.
She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Hmph, if you hadn't said anything, I would have almost forgotten about you."
“You stole my space to upgrade your cheek pouch space; taking without asking is stealing.”
The little hamster suddenly bristled, pacing back and forth in the space, shouting, "Who stole it? Who did you say stole it?"
Gu Yihan lay there and said calmly, "Shouting so loudly, isn't it just because you're guilty?"
The little hamster was so angry it felt like its lungs were about to explode: "When I was living in this space, you hadn't even recognized me as your master yet."
"If you hadn't suddenly recognized me as your master, how could I have ended up like this, with my psychic abilities dropping to level one?"
Gu Yihan was so angry at the little hamster's robber logic that she laughed.
She suddenly slipped into the space, her gaze fixed on the little hamster.
She said sarcastically, "A rat is a rat. Even if it turns into a demon, it can't change its original nature."
"Stealing other people's things and then acting so self-righteously, like a thief crying 'stop thief!'"
The little hamster was startled by Gu Yihan's sudden appearance and took a few steps back. It hadn't forgotten that this ugly woman had hit it with a rolling pin.
Upon hearing Gu Yihan call it a little beast, it flew into a rage and jumped up to charge at the other creature.
Gu Yihan didn't even lift her eyelids, and simply waved her hand in the air, causing the little hamster's body to crash into the inner wall of the space.
The little hamster stood on its two short legs, waving its tiny paws, and roared at Gu Yihan, "I won't let you get away with this!"
Gu Yihan looked at the hamster's comical appearance, wanting to laugh inside, but her face remained indifferent.
She said, "It's one thing for you to steal other people's things, but you also disguised yourself as a system to deceive me."
The little hamster knew it had done something wrong, but still stubbornly insisted, "I've already made it up to you, and I even saved you."
The little hamster's momentum was no longer as strong as before.
Gu Yihan got angry just thinking about it and snapped at the little hamster, "If it weren't for you..."
"I was kidnapped by human traffickers before, so why can't anyone enter my space?"
"I had a perfectly good space, with mountains, water, and land, and look what you've done to it by absorbing all of it?"
Gu Yihan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she went on and on about what to do with the little hamster for over an hour.
The little hamster stared blankly at Gu Yihan with its big mouth agape, having never seen a human so talkative.
It glanced at Gu Yihan's cramped space, then at its own cheek pouch, which had absorbed the other's space and become boundless.
The little hamster could only weakly interrupt, "Things have already come to this, so tell me what to do."
Gu Yihan rolled her eyes at the little hamster and said, "As compensation, you need to give me all the potions in your space."
The little hamster shrieked, "No! This is robbery!" It truly hadn't expected Gu Yihan to have such a large appetite.
Gu Yihan suddenly laughed, looking at the little hamster and saying coldly, "Look how hypocritical you are!"
"You took other people's things without their permission. Don't you know that taking things without asking is stealing?"
“If I discuss compensation with you, just say I robbed you.”
The two negotiated until late into the night, and finally both sides compromised, with Gu Yihan taking 70% of the potion from the other's space.
Early the next morning
Gu Yihan left the family compound early. She wanted to ask for two days off to take care of Lu Huailin so that others wouldn't guess that his injury had healed.
When Liang Qing from HR saw Gu Yihan standing at the office door, she asked her with a puzzled look, "Little Gu, is something the matter?"
Gu Yihan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Sister Liang, my husband is injured, and I would like to ask for two days off."
Liang Qing immediately took out a leave application form, filled it out himself, stamped it, and said to Gu Yihan, "Take good care of your lover."
In this era, ordinary people generally hold soldiers in high esteem and admiration as heroes.
Therefore, Liang Qing agreed very readily.
Over the next few days, Gu Yihan prepared various nutritious soups and broths for Lu Huailin to drink.
In the ward
Lu Huailin drank the chicken soup that Gu Yihan had cooked. The chicken meat had been shredded into strips and placed in a small bowl.
When Shen Yujie made his rounds, he came to Lu Huailin's ward and saw him eating happily.
Shen Yujie clicked his tongue and shook his head, chuckling softly, "Where's your sister-in-law? Isn't she watching over you in the ward?"
Lu Huailin swallowed the food in his mouth and said slowly, "I sent her home to rest. I'm not disabled."
"You insist on having her come with you. Do you need her for something?"
Shen Yujie glanced at Lu Huailin, as if he had guessed something.
He said, "Now I know why you married your sister-in-law."
"Look at how well I've taken care of you. I'm so envious."
As soon as Shen Yujie finished speaking, Lu Huailin's face turned cold instantly.
He stared at her, his voice icy, and said, "She served me so well? That's because she cares about me."
"What kind of thinking is that? I married her because she deserves it, not to be served by others!"
"If I hear you disrespecting her again, don't blame me for turning against you despite our years of friendship."
Shen Yujie also got angry and retorted to Lu Huailin, "Lu Huailin, what do you mean? We've been friends since we were kids."
"You're willing to turn against me for the sake of a woman?"
Lu Huailin grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at Shen Yujie's head: "What do you mean by 'a woman'? That's my wife, the one I'll spend my life with."
Shen Yujie was hit squarely on the head by a pillow. Although it didn't hurt, he still felt that Lu Huailin had changed since they got married.
Lu Huailin, who usually had an icy demeanor, was actually acting coquettishly towards Gu Yihan, which made him wonder if she was a completely different person.
Thinking of Lu Huailin's words, Shen Yujie scoffed, "Spend your life together? Your parents have never even met Gu Yihan!"
"You've accepted her? You're turning down a woman who's a good match for you, and instead you're going after Gu Yihan, who's unloved by her parents."
Shen Yujie's dismissive attitude towards Gu Yihan infuriated Lu Huailin.
He sprang up and quickly jumped off the hospital bed.
He punched the other man in the face, and Shen Yujie retaliated, and the two began to fight in the ward.
