15 The heroic woman met the clinging man again
The young master's muscles had atrophied severely, especially in his lower body. His thin legs were hunched, as if a spring connected his legs to his hips, and the slightest movement would cause his legs to spring back. So whether in a wheelchair or in the bathtub, he always remained seated, looking like a solitary bat, or a lonely marionette...
But his face was so handsome, pale, cold, aloof, with eyes so sharp that they seemed to see through people at a glance. If he had a nice hairstyle, a shirt and suspenders, he would be a universe-class overlord...
After eating crayfish in the evening, Ni Yue came home and went straight to the kitchen. He took out a bottle of sweet water from the refrigerator and drank a few gulps. Then he sat down at the dining table, burping and writing a bathing diary.
Today's diary entry is the most informative. I wrote about my heroic feat of shoveling shit, a rare moment of self-praise. When I wrote about the scene where the young master and his mother waved goodbye to everyone, my nose immediately got sore and I felt a little sad...
The two thumbs danced diligently, and the emotions fluctuated accordingly.
Until a WeChat message pops up at the top of the screen.
点进去一看，是今天刚加为好友的AI头像：粉面小生，戴着黑框眼镜，梳着三七分港风油头，提着一边嘴角玩世不恭地笑，拽拽的样子很欠揍。
She couldn't help but chuckle.
Chen Yuang: I went home and had a long sleep, and just woke up.
Ni Yue: Ha, who asked?
Chen Yuang: Errrrrrrrrrr, actually I want to ask, did we forget something today?
Ni Yue was stunned and didn't react. "What's the matter? Don't tell me you want to... ask me for a commission?"
Chen Yuang: ??? Aren’t we meeting here today to eat Yakitori to discuss business?
"Oh, I forgot!" Ni Yue blurted out. She had completely forgotten about that matter.
"Why are you so startled?"
Zhang Chenling was sitting opposite as usual, updating her client form on her laptop, when she was startled by Ni Yue's exclamation.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. My period is about to come, so I get easily excited. Hehe..." Ni Yuedong babbled and passed it off.
"You're yelling so late at night, be careful or the aunt downstairs will come up and scold you!" Zhang Chenling scolded, then buried her head and continued typing on the keyboard.
Her face was highlighted by the computer screen, and her sparkling eyes reflected the colorful and densely packed Excel spreadsheets. Her two stubborn eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she looked serious and persistent.
Ni Yue stared at his cousin, the smile on his lips gradually fading.
There was no need to mention that matter to Chen Yuang, let alone tell his cousin. Ni Yue already had the answer in his heart.
——She decided to stay in Shangshanruoshui and not abandon her teammates in the most difficult times.
In fact, before asking the "Lantern Goddess" to meet him, Ni Yue had secretly planned this in his mind, but his will was not firm enough. He was still attached to her and could not let go of his job in education.
She thought that if the "Lantern Goddess" opposed her as before, she would also go against the goddess as before; if the goddess stood on the same front with her for the first time, she would slap her thigh and take the initiative to resolve the past conflicts, and by the way, become sworn sisters with her good sister!
Unexpectedly, the meeting process was full of twists and turns. First, she found out that the goddess was actually a male nurse. Then, Xiao Ma Ge was hospitalized with bloody stools, and everyone helped the young master take a bath. This series of episodes completely disrupted her previous plan.
Perhaps, this is fate?
She smiled with relief, lowered her head and wrote a reply to Chen Yuang: Thank you, it's okay.

Caught off guard, a WeChat call came in at the same time
——The one you can't mess with
Her mother Wu Xia!
I was shocked. A phone call so late at night, could something have happened at home?! Aren’t there enough weird things going on every day?!
Ni Yue didn't bother to think about it and answered the phone in front of Zhang Chenling.
"Mom, what's wrong?" The last word trembled, almost in sync with the accelerated heartbeat.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xia's loud voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yue'er, Mom just came back from playing mahjong at the neighbor's house of your second aunt's cousin's niece. I have some big gossip to tell you. Your cousin Zhang Chenling has returned to Shanghai from Hainan. She is broke now and is giving people baths and massages!..."
Oh my god! Ni Yue quickly covered his phone and ran to his room.
Haha, Zhang Chenling heard it clearly, and a calm smile crept up the corner of her eyes.
Ni Yue returned to the room, climbed onto the bed, and buried himself in the quilt, saying angrily, "Mom, are you bored and bored at this time of night?"
"What's wrong with me?" Wu Xia never thought there was anything wrong with herself.
Ni Yue was ready to speak out, no longer hiding anything. He spoke directly, "Mom, let me be clear now. First, what my cousin does is her private matter. Please respect it and don't spread rumors! Second, I'm officially informing you that I've moved from Beijing to Shanghai and am now living in my cousin's house! Third, tomorrow afternoon, my cousin and I have a bath. The client is a 70-year-old man. It's just a bath, no massage!"
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line. Ni Yue thought the signal was bad. "Hello? Hello? Mom, are you listening?"
"Old Ni! Old Ni!" Suddenly, there were cries like a pig being slaughtered. "I can't take it anymore! Where are our heart pills?"
Then came Ni Daming's drunken voice, "Inside the vest I wore when fishing... I fell asleep, don't call me..."
Ni Yue's head was buzzing with excitement from Wu Xia's howling. After hanging up the phone, she lifted the quilt and remained silent for a while before getting up and climbing out of bed.
I guess her cousin heard what Wu Xia said, and she must apologize to her cousin.
When I returned to the kitchen, I saw Zhang Chenling still sitting in front of the computer with a happy look on her face.
He also changed his sitting position, crossing his legs. The upper foot was shaking unconsciously, making the chair and the floor creak.
Ni Yue was stunned. This... According to the saying in their hometown, men who tremble are poor and women who tremble are cheap. Why did her cousin suddenly tremble?
Never mind all that, let me apologize on Wu Xia’s behalf first!
He walked over and sat down next to Zhang Chenling, "Cousin, I'm sorry, my mother just..."
"Oh, it's okay!" Zhang Chenling interrupted her with a beaming expression, "I heard it all. These are just the noises in our lives. They don't matter. They really don't matter!"
"Huh?" Ni Yue was surprised. Why did her cousin suddenly act like she had won a scratch-off lottery? She was so happy just by making a phone call?
Seeing Ni Yue's bewildered expression, Zhang Chenling waved her phone in front of her. "Cousin, do you know what "there's always a way out" means? I've been posting job ads everywhere these past few days, but haven't received a single resume. I thought we were out of people... But just now, someone contacted me on Xiaohongshu, saying they want to join Shangshan Ruoshui! Tell me, is this a sign of "there's always a way out?"
"Really?" Ni Yue smiled and immediately put Wu Xia's matter out of his mind.
"Of course! We don't have any orders tomorrow morning, so I've arranged to meet this person and chat. I'll try to get her into the group and have her take a shower with us this afternoon!"
Ni Yue's eyes rolled, "Oh, by the way, Xiao Ma is having a colonoscopy tomorrow morning, so should we still go to the hospital?"
"Right!" Zhang Chenling rarely let it slip. "How about we split up tomorrow? You go to the hospital to see Xiao Ma, and I'll go to the interview. After it's over, I'll come back to the hospital to see you guys. How about that?"
The next morning, the two sisters finished their breakfast, went out and went their separate ways.
Ni Yue ran to Huajin Hospital. Xiao Ma Ge was doing a colonoscopy in the endoscopy room, so she waited outside with his wife.
Sure enough, halfway through the examination, the doctor called Xiao Ma Ge's wife in and told her that the patient had a tumor with a diameter of five centimeters in his colon, which was already congested and ulcerated. The doctor would first take a sample for pathology, but no matter whether the test results showed that it was malignant or benign, surgery would definitely be required.
After she came out, her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground. Ni Yue quickly reached out to help her, but she climbed on top of him and started crying, saying that she had a bad life, that she didn't enjoy happiness for many years after marriage, that the family didn't save much money, and that her husband ended up like this.
Ni Yue had to use all his words to coax her tears back.
After a while, Xiao Ma Ge woke up from the anesthesia and was pushed back to the ward.
He was very upset and said that he had not liked to exercise or eat fruits and vegetables for many years. He always ate spicy hot pot and barbecue, and in the past year or so he often stayed up late because of anxiety. It really proved the saying "no zuo no die".
Ni Yue hurriedly said, "Pfft, pfft, pfft! Intestinal disease is not a big deal! The human intestine is seven or eight meters long, even if you cut off a piece, it won't cause any harm. And fortunately, it's the colon, not the rectum, far from the anus, so there's no need for a fistula..." He said a lot with a dry mouth, and finally encouraged Xiao Ma Ge, saying that they would fight together after he recovered!
Xiao Ma Ge smiled bitterly and said, this is the only way, please ask them to keep him in the Shangshan Ruoshui WeChat group and not kick him out.
Ni Yue said, "Of course! There's no need to ask Zhang Chenling about this. She's the one who makes the decision!"
Before saying goodbye, Xiao Ma Ge took the initiative to mention the van. He knew that Zhang Chenling didn't have a car, so he lent it to them. Anyway, his family had a private car.
Ni Yue quickly expressed his gratitude and secretly glanced at Xiao Ma Ge's wife, feeling that she was a little unhappy.
When they left the hospital, it was almost eleven o'clock. Ni Yue's phone had been silent the entire time. She couldn't help but wonder, why hasn't my cousin contacted me yet? Does an interview take so long?
When Zhang Chenling pushed the door open and entered the room, Ni Yue was lying on the sofa like Ge You, with the remaining duck necks piled on the coffee table in front of him.
Seeing her cousin come back, she jumped up and said, "Why did you come back just now? How was the interview? Tell me!"
Zhang Chenling, however, had a cold expression on her face and took out a resume from her bag and threw it over.
Ni Yue hurriedly picked it up and looked at it. "Xu Zhiqian? Judging from the name, it seems he's a man?"
"Yeah, a man!"
"That's perfect, we're just in need of a man!"
The next second, Ni Yue received a WeChat message on his phone, which was a web link.
"You can go to his personal website, there is more information there." Zhang Chenling said as she went to the kitchen to get some water.
“Oh my god, is the job market so competitive now that I have to build my own website?” Ni Yue put his resume aside and clicked on the link.
"I was also shocked! I knew nothing about this person before the interview. I thought that this industry didn't require any experience and everyone worked based on passion and conviction. So I didn't even ask for his resume. I didn't even ask for his name, age, or gender. I just sent him a private message on Xiaohongshu to arrange a time and place to meet. I didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly, the heroic woman met another clingy man.
"Oh my god! This guy is so outstanding!" Ni Yue exclaimed, staring at his phone. He immediately straightened his back and turned into a newscaster. "He received a full scholarship to Shanghai Jiaotong University. He majored in computer science and minored in philosophy. He once gave a speech as an outstanding graduate representative. He has been independently developing wearable devices since college. He holds 13 personal patents. After graduation, he joined a major internet company..."
Below are some Martian terms that she doesn't understand.
Scroll down further, "Actively participated in charity and social work activities, volunteered to help the elderly in Minhang Community, and once went to the mountainous areas of Yunnan for a short period of time to teach..."
Scroll to the bottom of the photo gallery, and you’ll find photos of his various highlights from the past.
He is quite handsome.
"...Does this person really want to join us?" Ni Yue looked incredulous.
"Why don't you ask me if I really want to take him in?"
"Really? This kind of person probably works as a bath assistant just to experience life, like teaching in the countryside. He definitely won't last long! So you decided not to take him on?"
"I don't want him. The concept of being kind and like water doesn't suit him."
Zhang Chenling stopped and coughed a few times, choking on the water.
"But I still made a verbal offer. Even if he doesn't stay long, he can still help out temporarily. After all, we can't possibly bother your nurse friend over and over again, right?"
Without waiting for Ni Yue to answer, Zhang Chenling returned to her room, closed the door, leaned against it, and let out a long sigh.
