Chapter 66 Twice in a row, you're really something!
"Then this blood..." Seeing that Huang Ying was alright, Shi Yu was also confused.
Then, as if struck by a thought, she shifted her gaze to Lu Yizhou's face and tentatively asked, "Is this blood yours?"
Lu Yizhou's face was somewhat pale.
He pursed his lips, gave Shi Yu a deep look, and turned away without saying a word.
Shi Yu's pupils twitched.
Just as Lu Yizhou turned around, she clearly saw blood slowly seeping from between his fingers as he covered his arm.
It turned out he was injured.
Was it because... he was injured while saving her?
"Girl! Go take a look!" Shi Yu was hesitating whether to chase after her to see what was going on when Huang Ying gave her a push.
"……oh oh!"
Coming to her senses, Shi Yu followed suit.
She reached out and helped Lu Yizhou.
Lu Yizhou paused for a moment.
He turned his head, glanced at her, his eyes deep and filled with a strange, complex emotion.
Their eyes met.
Shi Yu's eyes flickered, and the next moment, she quickly looked away.
They had been ignoring each other before, but now, he was injured saving her, and she was supporting him, standing so close to him...
I feel a bit awkward about it.
Lu Yizhou noticed Shi Yu's unease and, not wanting her to feel burdened, said, "Shi Yu, don't overthink it. The situation was so critical just now; I couldn't possibly stand by and watch her die."
"What if it were Shi Jiaojiao?" Shi Yu asked, almost as if possessed, pursing her lips. "You would definitely rush over there immediately, right?"
"Of course!" Lu Yizhou didn't catch the hidden meaning in Shi Yu's words and answered subconsciously.
Although he didn't like the sassy Shi Jiaojiao, she was still a life, and he couldn't just stand by and watch.
Shi Yu lowered her eyes.
No one could see her expression clearly; she simply fell silent and stopped speaking.
They remained silent the entire way.
And so, Shi Yu helped Lu Yizhou all the way to his doorstep.
“We’re at your house now, so I won’t go in. Lu Yizhou, thank you anyway.” Shi Yu looked up at Lu Yizhou and said calmly before letting go of his arm.
His cool expression carried a hint of indifference.
But who knew...
Before they could even make a move, Lu's mother suddenly rushed out of the yard.
With a stern face, she pushed Shi Yu away. "In broad daylight, what kind of behavior is this, a man and a woman pulling and tugging in the street? Let go of her!"
Shi Yu was too weak at the moment. When she was suddenly pushed, she swayed and staggered back two steps.
"careful!"
Lu Yizhou quickly reached out to help her up.
Then, he looked at his mother and questioned her with some displeasure, "Mother, how could you suddenly push someone?"
Seeing how much her son cared about Shi Yu, Lu's mother was about to explode with anger.
She forced a glare at Shi Yu without showing any emotion, and said righteously, "I'm doing this for her own good. How can a young lady like her get married if she doesn't pay attention to her lifestyle?"
"What family would want someone like that!"
Shi Yu shook off Lu Yizhou's hand and looked coldly at Lu's mother, "His arm was injured, so I helped him back."
"Please figure out what's going on before you start spewing insults!"
"What? Yi Zhou, you're injured?"
Upon hearing this, Lu's mother immediately became anxious. Forgetting about continuing to argue with Shi Yu, she exclaimed and quickly grabbed Lu Yizhou's arm to check.
Blood immediately stained her fingertips.
"Son, what happened to you?!"
"Elder Jin! Elder Jin! Could you please come out for a moment? Yi Zhou is injured!"
Mother Lu turned around and shouted anxiously into the inner room several times.
"What's wrong?" Hearing the voice, Old Jin quickly came out.
"The wound has reopened?" Upon approaching Lu Yizhou, Old Jin rolled up the sleeve of Lu Yizhou's right hand to take a look.
Sure enough, fresh blood gushed out from the gauze.
Looking at Shi Yu beside him, Old Jin immediately understood everything. "No need to say anything, kid, you must have been injured because of Yu girl again."
"You got hurt in the same place twice, that's really something."
"But I have to warn you both, if you injure your arms a third time, you might not be able to save them!"
He deliberately teased the two of them.
"Alright, Mr. Jin, you talk too much!" Lu Yizhou said reproachfully, glancing at Shi Yu.
Shi Yu was stunned.
The same spot was injured twice?
Is it all because of her?
I don't know when it was my first time.
Compared to Shi Yu's confusion, Lu's mother's old face instantly darkened, becoming even darker than the bottom of a black pot.
She stared intently at Shi Yu.
If looks had the power to kill, Shi Yu would have been torn to pieces by now.
"Come inside, I'll re-bandage you." As Old Jin helped Lu Yizhou into the house, he didn't forget to call out to Shi Yu, "Yu girl, come in too."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu ignored the murderous glare from Lu's mother and followed after only a slight hesitation.
I have doubts.
She wanted to understand.
"Damn it!" Gritting her teeth, Lu's mother quickly entered the house.
...
Old Jin took out alcohol, gauze, and anti-inflammatory medicine from his box.
He could tell from Shi Yu's expression that she didn't know what was going on, so he disinfected and bandaged Lu Yizhou while explaining the situation.
“You were falsely accused about the freshwater pollution incident last time, and it just so happened that Lu Yizhou’s mother fell ill. He had to go to the county to buy medicine for his mother, and he was worried about you and was anxious to return.”
"That's when I got into a fight with some thugs on the ship and got injured."
"After I came back, I was afraid that you would feel guilty, so I didn't mention my injury at all."
"Old Jin!" Old Jin's mouth was too fast; Lu Yizhou wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Then, he noticed that Shi Yu's gaze had fallen on his face.
Stunned, shocked.
As dazzling as a vast galaxy, it carries an overwhelming sense of scrutiny.
Even someone as powerful as him was finding it difficult to cope at this point.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." Lu Yizhou's expression became unnatural. He coughed lightly twice, turned his head, and avoided Shi Yu's gaze.
At this moment, Shi Yu's feelings were incredibly complicated.
"Alright, since you're here, why don't you stay and have dinner with us? Sister-in-law Lu, you won't blame me for making this decision, will you?" Old Jin smiled at Lu's mother.
Lu's mother clenched her fists so tightly they made a "crunching" sound.
I was furious.
Of course I mind! How could I not mind?
But not wanting to offend Old Master Jin, Madam Lu could only grit her teeth and force out three words with a forced smile: "I don't mind!"
Even Shi Yu felt a pang of sympathy for her expression.
"Oh, right, Mom, let's cook the piece of pig's head I brought back last time for dinner!" Lu Yizhou chimed in.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Lu's mother's heart skipped a beat, and she froze on the spot.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yizhou asked, puzzled, noticing her unusual behavior.
"N-nothing..." Mrs. Lu's eyes flickered guiltily, trying to find an excuse to brush off the matter of the pig's head meat, "That piece of pig's head meat..."
