Li Weidong breathed a sigh of relief, took the medicine, and carried Zhou Xiaoye home.
The sanitation workers also came to get their medicine. Seeing him like this, they teased him, "Weidong, you're over twenty this year. You've set up a sixteen-year-old girl for yourself. You can see her every day but can't have her. Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"
The doctor laughed along, "A sixteen-year-old girl who can have children, Wei Dong has really made a profit."
Li Weidong frowned as he listened, mumbled a few words, and then hurriedly left.

Li Weidong stood nervously to one side, holding Zhou Xiaoye's hand, and silently prayed in his heart.
I really hope nothing bad happens to my little wife!
Before the first round of soul retrieval was finished, Zhou Xiaoye woke up.
