Perhaps it was unintentional, or perhaps it was a trick of fate. He had been feeling dizzy and swollen last night, and he didn't know what had happened. He had somehow ended up walking into this courtyard.
Tang Chen saw that although he was awake, he was staring at him motionless, like an idiot. Thinking that he had just stopped bleeding, he might be feeling a little uncomfortable. He quickly rubbed his hands to warm them up and carefully helped him up. "Do you want to wipe your face first, or eat something first?"
Wang Yanzhou stared at Tang Chen, and before she could react, he grabbed her left hand and lifted her sleeve. Tang Chen felt pain in her hand and suddenly became angry. If she hadn't seen that he was hurt, she would have punched him.
"Hiss, you did it on purpose!"
Wang Yanzhou looked at the blood-stained gauze on Tang Chen's wrist and asked distressedly, "...Does it still hurt?"
Tang Chen quickly pulled his hand away and said, "It didn't hurt much just now, but it hurts a lot now."
Wang Yanzhou sighed slightly. If he had explained it to her yesterday morning, it would have been fine. If he hadn't heard the conversation between those people and her last night, he wouldn't have known that his momentary concealment had caused her to hurt herself. "I'm not the person they're looking for, don't worry."
Tang Chen was startled for a moment before he breathed a long sigh of relief. While serving him pigeon soup, he said as if he was reporting on his work, "I'm glad you're okay. You don't know Lin Feng. He's really ruthless when it comes to doing things. Don't worry about your injury. When I left earlier, I told Chen Xin about your situation. Someone should be coming to pick you up soon. Your injury is not light. I'm afraid that I can't take care of you and will only make your illness worse."
Wang Yanzhou knew that Tang Chen had an injury on her hand, so he didn't let her ask. He took the bowl first and said, "You are much smarter than before."
"Okay, okay, stop praising me. I'm really not used to it."
However, half a month passed, and it was unclear whether Chen Xin was too busy, had forgotten, or if someone had deliberately done this. Wang Yanzhou's health had gradually improved, but no one from Liuxiang Tavern or Qingliang Valley had come to pick him up. The more Tang Chen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. After sleeping on the floor for half a month, he issued an ultimatum to Wang Yanzhou.
"So, do you really have the heart to let a wounded soldier like me sleep on the floor for another half a month?"
Wang Yanzhou, with an innocent look on his face, wrapped himself up like a hibernating caterpillar, lying on Tang Chen's small bed and refusing to move. He even argued in a somewhat rogue manner: "I didn't say I wanted to occupy your bed. You did it voluntarily. This is what they call, it's easier to invite a god than to send him away."
Seeing him like this, Tang Chen smiled bitterly and slapped his forehead: "Wang Yanzhou, are you still the Wang Yanzhou you know? You are so shameless. Aren't you a mysophobe? Aren't you afraid that there are fleas on my bed!"
Wang Yanzhou saw how frustrated she was and wanted to tease her even more: "I'm tired and want to find a place to rest. Your place is great, I've requisitioned it from Qingliang Valley."
"My temple is small!"
“……”, Wang Yanzhou ignored her, turned over, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Tang Chen was afraid that if he didn't control the severity of his attack, he would cause him secondary injuries, so he could only stand in front of the bed, beating his chest and stamping his feet: "Why do I hate him so much!"
A few days later, Tang Chen thought, "New Year's Eve is only three or five days away. This man is the head of a valley after all, so he won't spend the New Year with her." Just as she was about to order Wang Yanzhou to leave, someone knocked on the gate again.
"Tang Chen, open the door!"
Tang Chen knew who was coming the moment she heard the voice. Thinking it was bad, she quickly found a thick cloak and threw it over Wang Yanzhou, then pulled back his blanket. She knew he was just pretending to sleep. This was a critical moment, and she couldn't let that woman see Wang Yanzhou here, or she'd have no peace of mind.
"Well, you're going to have to climb onto the roof beam! No, no, no, the roof beam isn't safe either. Go to the kitchen! Yes, the kitchen. There's a stove there, so you won't freeze to death. Hurry up!"
Liang Shuyi kicked Tang Chen's gate and asked unhappily, "Why did you take so long to open the door? Did you do something shameful? Your door is usually not closed during the day."
Tang Chen knew she would ask this, so he quickly rolled up his sleeves and explained, "I injured my hand a while ago, and I was just changing the dressing. How did you find time to come here today?"
At this point, Liang Shuyi felt a little dry in the mouth and unhappy: "I always feel like I have nowhere to vent my anger, so I thought of coming to you to calm down. You are injured and can't drink, which is a pity."
After Tang Chen poured her a cup of hot tea, he asked helplessly, "Who made you unhappy again, Miss?"
After Liang Shuyi drank the tea in the cup, she crushed Tang Chen's cup with a snap: "It's still that Lin Chongrong. She thinks that she can be arrogant to me just because she entered the palace as a concubine. How ridiculous!"
"Yes, yes, you're right." Speaking of which, Tang Chen and Liang Shuyi's enigmatic friendship was completely unpredictable. Originally, after being teased by her, it was like a mouse meeting a cat. But unexpectedly, after getting used to each other, they inexplicably established a connection.
Until one day, Tang Chen forgot why the two of them had a few drinks together. Then, when she woke up, Liang Shuyi not only apologized to her for the previous incident, but also insisted on becoming her sworn brother. Oh, women, they are really unpredictable.
After Liang Shuyi scolded Lin Chongrong for two cups of tea without using a single curse word, his anger subsided a lot, and he started gossiping about Tang Chen again: "Well, ahem, where is the person I met at your place last time?"
Tang Chen was stunned. She had quite a lot of customers. Which one was she talking about? "Who are you talking about?"
"That one, tall and thin, with star-like eyebrows and sharp eyes, and a crabapple-shaped jade pendant on his waist."
"Are you talking about Lin Feng?"
"Yes, yes, that's him!"
"Why are you asking him for no reason? Are you planning to take advantage of him?"
Liang Shuyi stretched the muscles in his hands and explained, "Of course not. I saw that he has good kung fu skills, so I wanted to ask him to be my thug."
Tang Chen held her forehead and sighed. After all, she was a young lady from a wealthy family, so she had to pretend in front of her friends. This guy was always talking about hitting someone, and his anger was even greater than hers: "...I'm the captain of the police, I don't get involved in fights. Also, if your father finds out about this, you'll be in trouble."
Liang Shuyi knew this truth too. Otherwise, her Liang family wouldn't be short of thugs. Okay, she'd just endure it for a bit today. When she found the chance, she'd have to fight Lin Chongrong sooner or later to vent her anger. "Forget it, just go out with me for a walk and relax."
