Chapter 28
The dean's attitude caught everyone present off guard.
Gu Qi'an looked around in confusion, wondering how it had gotten to this point. Wasn't everything fine just now?
There was dead silence all around, and no one could answer his question.
In the silence, only a loud "shift" was heard.
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on that domineering figure.
"It's not your turn to discipline my woman."
Fu Yan stood up to protect Su Yin, staring at Xie Lingxu with cold eyes.
He is the only one who can take care of his woman, no one else can even think about it.
"Bodyguard, throw this man out!"
Since the noise came from the yard, the bodyguards have been on standby, but the boss's order...
They looked at the dean standing next to them, then at the boss who was obviously in a bad state, and did not dare to move.
"Shift, are you deaf!"
No one had ever dared to disobey him like this, and Fu Yan's eyes burned with rage.
In contrast, Xie Lingxu was exceptionally calm. "Take your boss back to rest."
Bodyguard: “This…”
On one side is the boss but he has a mental illness attack, on the other side is an outsider but the director of the mental hospital, this...
Xie Lingxu looked at the foreman among the bodyguards and asked indifferently, "Do you still want your boss to be used as a tool outside?"
These words were extremely harsh, and Gu Qian'an and Tian Xiao subconsciously looked at Su Yin.
The person's face was shrouded in shadow and his expression could not be seen clearly.
The bodyguard who was deceived by Su Yin also looked at the woman protected by the boss behind him, his head buzzing.
What the hell is going on?
Fortunately, savior came soon.
Fu Yan's assistant rushed over. He had been sleeping soundly, but was awakened by the news from the dean. His mind was not fully awake yet, and he relied on his willpower to get here.
When I first arrived, my eyes went dark when I saw the scene in front of me, and I almost thought I was still dreaming.
Why is the guy from Courtyard No. 3 here again!
After he finally entered the door and saw everyone inside clearly, he stumbled and fell headfirst to the ground. Fortunately, the bodyguard next to him pulled him up and avoided a tragedy.
Courtyard No. 2 had never had so many 'guests' before. The assistant felt as if his soul had left his body, with only a physical body left to mechanically deal with the aftermath.
"Mr. Fu, let's go back." He was so anxious that he almost cried.
"Why are you replying? This is Fu's territory."
assistant:……
This is not it, this is Xie’s.
But then he heard the real owner of the land say, "You are right."
"Have you had enough of the trouble? If you have, go back." Xie Lingxu's eyes swept over Gu Qian'an and Tian Xiao one by one. Those who were seen lowered their heads awkwardly.
His words were not actually harsh.
Apart from the initial few questions he raised to Su Yin, his attitude remained very calm. Some of his words seemed angry, but in fact, he had no emotional ups and downs at all, giving people the feeling that... he only said those words because of his status.
But this didn't stop Gu Qian'an and Tian Xiao from feeling scared.
"What are they doing? They are following me."
Su Yin, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, her voice somewhat sarcastic, "Didn't you say it yourself? Why involve innocent people?"
After saying that, she thanked Fu Yan who had been protecting her, and pulled Gu Qian and Tian Xiao out.
The moment the two women disappeared behind the wall, Fu Yan, who had been feeling depressed just now, seemed to have a switch pressed. All his anger disappeared completely, and he stood there in a daze, as if he had entered a detached state.
Xie Lingxu said to his assistant, "Excuse me for trouble."
"Don't worry, Dean."
He nodded, and as he walked out, he closed the door behind him to prevent the man from seeing him and having an attack again.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard Su Yin's whisper: "Why are you so obedient? Just run away. Why are you standing here as punishment?"
Gu Qianan hesitated: "But the dean..."
"Who cares?"
Su Yin felt a nameless and complex anger in her heart. She wanted to roll her eyes when she thought of that face, but she held it back and continued to persuade the two overly honest children, "Besides, he said to go back, so let's go back. Isn't this just listening to him!"
"Young, Young Sect Master..."
"What?"
"Dean..."
"Don't mention him, it's bad luck."
These two words made Gu Qian'an shudder, and he finally finished speaking, "Young Sect Master and Dean are behind you!"
Suyin: ...
She slowly turned her head and, as expected, saw that extremely deadly face again.
The eye roll that he had been suppressing for a long time finally came out.
Xie Lingxu pretended not to see it and said, "Go back."
Su Yin clicked his tongue, "You tell me."
After going around in circles, the atmosphere between the two returned to what it was at the beginning.
This is a fight between gods. The remaining two people are watching their noses and their hearts, lagging behind by several steps, trying their best to minimize their presence.
When returning from Courtyard No. 2, the first path he passed was the path leading to the dean's office. However, Xie Lingxu did not look around and had no intention of stopping.
Gu Qian'an, who was following at the end, asked Tian Xiao in a low voice: "Isn't the dean going back?"
Tian Xiao hesitated for a moment, "Maybe we should send the young master back..."
Although their voices were low, they could be heard in the quiet night.
Su Yin slowed down his pace and soon walked in line with them. "He's not sending me off. He's afraid that I'll cause trouble again, so he's personally guarding me."
She casually picked a flower from the roadside and plucked the petals, pulling them off one by one. "Don't worry, he's only targeting me. It has nothing to do with you two. It's getting late, so go back to bed."
"Then, then our previous..." Gu Qian'an wanted to ask about the plan for Courtyard No. 1, but when he caught a glimpse of the man in front of him, he suddenly stopped talking.
Su Yin threw away the flower stalk in her hand, which was left with only a bare stem, patted his shoulder, and had no hope for his colander-like mouth.
"We'll talk about it next time."
Xie Lingxu, knowing she hadn't given up yet, turned around and stood in front of her. "Will you be satisfied only if this place remains forever in turmoil?"
Su Yin was stunned. Never at peace?
What a familiar word. The last time I heard it was in a town. I saw two kids fighting and thought it was interesting, so I went over to watch for a while. Then, I was recognized by Zhengdao who was passing by.
They said—
"No wonder there have been strange beasts appearing in this area recently. It turns out she is here."
"Even the children were affected and started fighting. Does this witch have to make people feel uneasy to be happy?"
"Evil ways are evil ways. People like her are evil to the core."
The insults she had heard before and Xie Lingxu's questioning came to her mind at the same time, and she subconsciously asked: "What did I do?"
"Haven't you done enough?"
So what did she do?
Su Yin looked up blankly, but what she saw was his cold eyebrows and eyes, which were particularly glaring.
She suddenly laughed, "Yes, that's right, that's who I am."
"I am cruel, tyrannical, and callous. I will not be satisfied until this place is in perpetual chaos."
Su Yin raised her chin, her eyes challenging, and said word by word: "So what?"
Without waiting for Xie Lingxu to respond, she withdrew her gaze and took a step forward.
At the moment their figures crossed, one person stopped and lowered his eyes, while the other strode forward.
Xie Lingxu paused for a moment, then stood up and walked in the opposite direction, confirming Su Yin's words. He did come to look after Su Yin, and it had nothing to do with Tian and Gu.
Seeing that the dean was about to walk away, Tian Xiao mustered up the courage to stop him and asked the question she had been wanting to ask since a while ago: "Why do you say that to the young master?"
Xie Lingxu stopped and said indifferently: "What does the patient have to say?"
Tian Xiao was a little stressed by his bland reply. "W-what kind of brilliant opinion do you have? What qualifications do you have to criticize her? Just because you're the dean?"
"But Dean, did you ever care when Dr. Lin treated me like a prisoner? Did you ever care when I was trapped in the four-square pen and almost depressed?"
Xie Lingxu turned his gaze back and re-examined this patient whom he had almost only seen in the archives.
He was puzzled: "That's the doctor your parents arranged to come in."
Tian Xiao said softly: "So you actually know, right?"
"You knew it, but you didn't care."
She wiped away the tears that had flowed out of her eyes, her voice choking but firm, "Young Sect Master was the only one who cared about whether I wanted to be happy or not. It was Young Sect Master who pulled me out of that isolated and helpless situation. Only with her did I feel that this sanatorium was not a disguised prison."
"What's the point of being restless? I only found peace after she appeared!"
Tian Xiao almost shouted this.
Gu Qian'an widened his eyes in astonishment. Normally, this soulmate of his would blush in embarrassment if he said a few more words to her, but now he actually dared to loudly question the dean in person for the sake of the Young Sect Master!
He secretly watched the person's reaction.
The dean seemed to be stumped by the question, frowning, his eyes filled with turbulent emotions, dark and unclear. Perhaps he himself was not aware of how solemn his expression was.
Tian Xiao now regretted proposing that plan to the Young Sect Master. He was simply not worthy of such a good person as the Young Sect Master. "You really disappoint me."
After saying that, she turned and ran in the direction Su Yin left.
One more person was missing, leaving only Xie Lingxu and Gu Qian'an at the scene.
"Dean..."
Xie Lingxu turned sideways.
Gu Qian'an swallowed hard, a little nervous, "Dean, I like the Young Sect Master too. Those doctors and nurses seem to be obedient, but they don't believe me. I know they are trying to coax me, but the Young Sect Master is different. She's not coaxing me, she really believes in me."
He was a little incoherent and didn't know what he was saying in his panic. He only knew that he had to tell the dean what he thought and that the young master was not what he said.
"Young Sect Master is very good, she hasn't disturbed our peace."
Xie Lingxu closed his eyes, and the words of the two people defending Su Yin repeatedly appeared in his mind, disrupting his originally clear thoughts again and again.
"What on earth do you want to do tonight?"
Gu Qian'an rolled his eyes and said, picking out the key points: "The Young Sect Master said that everyone in the sanatorium is bored in the courtyard, lonely and deserted. This is not good, so he wants to get close to the people in Courtyard No. 1 and Courtyard No. 2 and play together in the future."
These words were probably processed, and Xie Lingxu knew it. But even though he knew it, he still stood there in silence for a long time.
…
Courtyard No. 2.
After those people left, Fu Yan gradually woke up. After what happened before, he was no longer sleepy. He sat in the office with the documents that had not been processed at night in his hand, but he did not put pen to paper.
After a long time, he suddenly said, "Go and get Xie Lingxu and the patient from Courtyard No. 4."
The assistant woke up from his sleepiness instantly, was stunned for a moment, and even wondered if he had heard it wrong.
It’s okay if it’s the dean, but isn’t the one in Courtyard No. 4 a woman?
Could it be that Mr. Fu found another true love while he was away?
It shouldn't be.
…
He began to doubt whether Mr. Fu was still sober.
The always efficient assistant didn't respond. Fu Yan put down his pen and looked at the assistant sharply, "What's the problem?"
The messy thoughts in the assistant's mind were instantly cleared, "Yes!"
This familiar pressure must be from the sober Mr. Fu.
Fu Yan calmly ordered, he wanted to prove an idea, "Bring them to me separately and observe if I show any signs of illness. You know the specific steps."
"yes!"
The assistant was very efficient because so many things happened tonight and several parties involved were still awake, so he was hired quickly.
When walking on the same road with Xie Lingxu, Tian Xiao deliberately kept a distance. After the initial enthusiasm passed, she no longer had the courage to face the dean directly, but that did not prevent her from thinking that the dean was bad.
Fu Yan completed the experiment very quickly.
Because the first time Tian Xiao walked in, he said, "How do you do things? Throw this evil-doing woman out now."
The assistant didn't listen and turned around to invite the dean in.
In just a short while, Fu Yan's words changed from "You don't deserve it" to "Woman, what means did you use to bribe your assistant?"
Tian Xiao remained silent. Fu Yan cursed inwardly and looked up to see Xie Lingxu. He sneered, "Hurry up and take the people from your courtyard out. You're too naive to try to use women as spies, Xie Lingxu."
Xie Ling preface:.
I've been treated as a love rival for so long that at first glance, his words now sound... quite normal.
The assistant looked at Mr. Fu's condition and roughly knew what to do. He took Tian Xiao out with an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry, Miss Tian, this is Mr. Fu's illness."
"It's okay, it's okay." Tian Xiao waved her hands hurriedly, then asked hesitantly, "He... he is... the boss?"
The assistant was surprised. "You know?"
They obviously did a good job of keeping it secret!
Tian Xiao smiled sheepishly, "I can tell."
It's too classic.
She then asked, "Does your CEO have a lover who ran away with the ball after a one-night stand, a white moonlight who has been abroad for many years, a substitute who was taken away by force, or a childhood sweetheart?"
!
The assistant stared in shock. This guy is so knowledgeable, he has all the necessary elements!
He resolutely defended his boss's reputation, "Absolutely not! Our President Fu hasn't had even a female mosquito around him in the twenty years since he became ill!"
Tian Xiao slowly opened her eyes. Recalling the scene in the yard, she regained her confidence and whispered to her assistant, "He's a good man who upholds male ethics. I will work hard to get your President Fu the top spot!"
assistant:?
What the hell?
He looked back at the silent office, thought for a moment, and took Tian Xiao to the corner, "Tell me in detail."
…
Only Fu Yan and Xie Lingxu were left in the room.
Without the presence of the opposite sex, Fu Yan's symptoms gradually faded away, and he leaned back in his chair to relax for a while.
During this time, Xie Lingxu just stood there waiting.
More than ten minutes passed, and when he raised his eyes again, his vision had returned to clarity.
Strictly speaking, after moving in together and cooperating for so long, except for meeting at the negotiation table, this was the first time that Fu Yan had met privately with this well-known young master of the Xie family while he was sober.
Compared to the person who was unassuming at the negotiation table in my memory, he seemed a little different.
"Thank you, Dean."
"Mr. Fu."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Fu Yan stood up.
"Sit down." Xie Lingxu's status was worthy of him standing up to greet him.
"No need, just say what you want to say."
Fu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.
This is quite similar to my memory.
There's no need to beat around the bush when talking to an intelligent person. He got straight to the point, "I just did an experiment on my illness."
"The result is that when the person from Courtyard No. 3 isn't around, I become ill with all members of the opposite sex. But if she's around, I only become ill with her and you. I don't become ill with other members of the opposite sex, and the symptoms tend to lessen."
Fu Yan's mind was clearer than ever before. Over the years, his illness had stumped countless famous doctors and experts. They had tried all kinds of methods, but there had never been any signs of improvement.
But now there has been a turning point, and he has a hunch that this might be an opportunity for recovery.
He concluded, "I should have more contact with her."
“…”
Xie Lingxu felt that his symptoms did not improve, but became worse.
"Even if there's a chance of physical and psychological harm during contact?"
He suspected that this man had forgotten how he was ridden and beaten by that woman on the first night.
"She didn't know about my illness when we first met, so her behavior was understandable. As far as I know, she just has some delusions, which don't affect her thinking. This situation doesn't mean we can't communicate."
Xie Lingxu did not comment on his statement.
"I want to contact the person in Courtyard No. 3 more frequently." Fu Yan knew that Xie Lingxu was now Su Yin's attending physician and the dean, so he asked for his opinion in advance.
"Please."
Xie Lingxu said casually, and after a moment added, "You'll be responsible for any accidents."
"Nothing will happen." Fu Yan looked at his partner deeply. "You seem to have a deep prejudice against her."
This was the third person who brought up this tonight. Xie Lingxu thought woodenly, is that not possible?
Couldn't he be prejudiced against the disciple of the evil cultivator who killed 130 villagers including his parents for no reason, and against the daughter of the sect leader who sheltered the evil cultivator and allowed him to roam free?
