Chapter 256 Missing Soul
When Ye Wanxi received Du Yihuan's call, she was busy preparing the things she would need for Soul Fusion. She was a little surprised to see the caller ID on her phone screen.
"Yi Huan?"
"Sister-in-law, are you free now?"
Ye Wanxi didn't answer her question directly, but only asked in a low voice, "Is there something you need?"
"That's right, Caiyi was attacked by her suitor, Senior Gao, today and is in the hospital now."
"She's injured?" Ye Wanxi asked, puzzled. She had clearly given the girl a protective charm, so she should be fine.
Thinking this, Ye Wanxi did some quick calculations and suddenly realized, "Her brother is injured?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed, and Mr. and Mrs. Wen widened their eyes in surprise.
If Du Yihuan hadn't stayed at the hospital since arriving, they would have all thought she had tipped off Miss Ye and conspired to deceive them.
"Yes, yes, Caiyi is fine. Her brother was cut by a knife while protecting her. Fortunately, it was just a superficial wound and he is not in life-threatening danger."
"Well, that's good."
"Sister-in-law, I just wanted to ask you, the amulet in the little tag you gave Caiyi seems to have been burned. Will Caiyi be in danger again after this?"
"Has that senior student been arrested?"
"They've been arrested."
"That's alright. The Peach Blossom Curse has passed, but she was entangled with that man for too long, so she inevitably picked up some of the curse energy. Originally, she might have been unlucky for a while after this, but not for long, maybe a week or two. But her blood relative was injured while saving her, and his blood energy neutralized the curse energy, which can be considered as warding off the disaster for her, so this matter is over."
"So, she'll be alright, right?"
"Um."
Du Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief. When she turned her head, she saw Wen's parents gesturing excitedly at her, making a eating gesture, and pointing at her phone.
Du Yihuan immediately understood: "Sister-in-law, I'm at the hospital now. Caiyi's parents are here too. They already know about Caiyi's situation and that she's safe and sound thanks to you. They wanted to thank you in person and treat you to a meal, what do you think..."
Hearing her say that, Ye Wanxi seemed to understand something: "Tell them that I thanked you and that the meal is on the house. Caiyi is your friend, and I can't just stand by and do nothing about it, both morally and logically. It's a small matter, don't worry about it too much."
Ye Wanxi's words indirectly told everyone that she was helping Wen Caiyi because of Du Yihuan, and if they really wanted to thank someone, they should thank Du Yihuan.
She was clearly the one who deserved the most credit, but she didn't take any credit for herself and even voluntarily gave the credit to Du Yihuan.
The Wen family was stunned for a moment, then looked at Du Yihuan's eyes, which were shining with admiration because of Ye Wanxi's words, and suddenly understood why Du Yihuan liked her, his sister-in-law, so much.
Du Yihuan blushed slightly and was about to say something when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from the other end of the phone.
"Who's calling?"
Ye Wanxi turned her head in surprise and found that Feng Tianyu had walked up behind her at some point.
"Are you done taking a shower?"
"Um."
Du Yihuan on the other end of the phone: "???"
What...what's going on? Why is her brother at his sister-in-law's place, and he even took a shower? What's he doing taking a shower? Could it be...could it be...?
Du Yihuan almost couldn't help but scream like a chicken on the spot, while the others looked surprised and embarrassed. They never expected to get such a big piece of gossip just by making a phone call!
The two people who caused all this were still unaware of what had happened. Feng Tianyu walked to Ye Wanxi's side and asked again, "Whose call was that?"
"Yihuan, she wants to ask me something."
"Have you finished asking?"
"That's about it." Ye Wanxi asked into the phone, "Yihuan, is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up now. I have some things to take care of in a bit."
Du Yihuan felt like her heart was being scratched by cat claws; she had a lot of questions she wanted to ask.
I want to ask if her brother is at his sister-in-law's house now, and I also want to ask what Ye Wanxi needs to deal with later, and whether it's the one she's thinking about!
Fortunately, her last shred of reason pulled her back at the last moment.
"It's alright, it's alright, sister-in-law, you go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore. Let's make an appointment again next time."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Du Yihuan spoke a few more words to the Wen family members before leaving with Zhang Xiaoxiao.
She had barely stepped out of the hospital when she couldn't wait to call Feng's mother.
"Auntie, is my brother not coming home today?"
"Yes, your brother isn't coming home today. Did he call you, or did you call him?"
"No, no, no, I just called my sister-in-law about something, and I heard my brother's voice on the other end of the line."
After a moment of silence, Feng's mother calmly said on the other end of the phone, "I know that. Your brother said he was going to stay at her place tonight, so it's not surprising that you heard his voice on the phone."
"But I also heard my sister-in-law ask my brother if he's finished taking a bath? Do you think they might...sleep in the same room tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Feng's mother could no longer maintain her composure: "Really?"
"Absolutely true!"
“Hehehe…”
“Hehehe…”
The "mother and daughter" who had thought of each other chuckled knowingly.
That smile gave Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side, goosebumps. She stammered, "Yihuan, what's wrong with your brother and sister-in-law? Why are you smiling so...sleazy?"
Du Yihuan, who was smiling in a "lewd" way, suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
Ye Wanxi never imagined that her casual remark would lead to such speculation, almost sealing the fate of what was to come for them tonight.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Wanxi turned to look at Feng Tianyu. He had just finished showering, and his hair was still wet with water droplets. His face was also slightly pale, and his hands were as cold as ever.
Are you feeling unwell?
"fine."
Ye Wanxi looked up at him, pursed her lips, and said solemnly, "I'm about to say something that may seem unbelievable, but I can assure you that everything I say is true. I hope you... can believe me."
Feng Tianyu met her gaze and responded by reaching out to pull Ye Wanxi into his arms, saying in a hoarse voice, "I believe whatever you say."
“You have been frail since childhood, with cold limbs, and you feel particularly uncomfortable on the night of the full moon. It’s not because you are sick, but because… you are missing a part of your soul.”
Even though Feng Tianyu was mentally prepared, he was still stunned for a few seconds by Ye Wanxi's bombshell.
"The soul... is missing?"
"Yes, you should have heard that people have three souls and seven spirits, and none of them can be missing. If a person's soul or spirit is missing, the worst outcome is that they become mentally unstable and delirious, or the worst outcome is that they become weak and sickly and are very likely to die young."
