Chapter 15 For Me?
Seeing Shen Ci's dusty and hurried appearance, Zhou Yang looked strange: "No, Shen Ci, even if Xie Yu is in the hospital, why are you running?"
Shouldn’t the person Xie Yu is talking to be hoping for Xie Yu to die soon?
Shen Ci paused and didn’t answer: “Where’s Xie Yu?”
Zhou Yang pointed to the ward and said, "Inside the room, trying to persuade Lin Yin."
The door of the ward was closed. There was a rectangular decorative glass in the door, through which one could vaguely see inside. Shen Ci looked inside and saw Xie Yu sitting on a small round stool with high legs. He had nowhere to put his long legs, so he could only cross them aggrievedly. At this moment, he was peeling an apple with a knife and leaning over to talk to Lin Yin.
"I'm not here to persuade you," Xie Yu held up three fingers, "He Zhiyuan probably has this amount of cash on hand. The He family can give twice as much. It's up to you to decide how much you can get."
Lin Yin was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale, her eyes flickering: "You came to me to talk about this?"
Xie Yu sneered: "He beat someone up, so there should be some price to pay."
Xie Yu was fed up with He Zhiyuan. If it weren't for his personality, he would have beaten this good-for-nothing long ago.
The two of them really had nothing to say, so Xie Yu placed the peeled apple on the table, said a few nonsensical words, and pushed the door open to leave.
Zhou Yang looked up: "How was the persuasion? Did he give in?"
Xie Yu shrugged: "She didn't give in. I'm not familiar with her, so of course I can't persuade her."
Zhou Yang then turned to Shen Ci: “You have spoken to Lin Yin, so go and persuade her as well.”
Xie Yu frowned: "Where is he going?"
Chen Ci and Lin Yin are in similar situations, both are playthings under the hands of young masters, and Xie Yu's reputation is even worse than He Zhiyuan's. Now Lin Yin is lying in the ward with injuries all over her body, and asking Chen Ci to persuade her, what kind of explanation is this?
Shen Ci originally said nothing and stood silently by the side, but suddenly said, "I can try."
Xie Yu was startled, and looked up, but saw that Shen Ci had his eyes half-closed, his emotions hidden under his eyelashes, and he couldn't see clearly.
After saying that, he really pushed the door and went in.
Xie Yu then sat down on the bench and thought to himself, "Strange."
After five or six minutes, Shen Ci came out of the ward and nodded slightly: “She agreed.”
Zhou Yang was surprised: "Agreed?"
Xie Yu raised his eyebrows and checked the system: "Is there such a thing in the original text?"
The system flipped through the novel: "No, in the original text, although He Zhiyuan also beat people, he didn't beat them in the street. This time he was drunk and lost control."
Xie Yu laughed: "The novel was not out of control, but it is out of control now?"
System explanation: "It's like this, he wanted to deal with Shen Ci before, and he succeeded in the original text, but now you took him away on the cruise ship, he is very unhappy and has been drinking these two days."
Xie Yueyue found Shen Ci's behavior strange. According to the personality of this person who directly sent the original owner to a mental hospital in the later period, now not only did he not let He Zhiyuan go to jail, but he helped persuade Lin Yin, and succeeded?
He looked at Shen Ci calmly. Assistant Shen stood quietly beside him. His body wrapped in a shirt was thin and upright. He lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, looking unusually obedient.
Under Xie Yu's silent gaze, Shen Ci's face was calm, but his fingers were hidden in his sleeves, and his fingertips were slightly twisting, as if he was nervous.
Xie Yu retracted his gaze and said nothing: "If you still have classes, go back to school first. Zhou Yang and I will discuss something."
Shen Ci paused for a moment, wanting to say something, then nodded, turned around and left. His back was straight and his steps were slightly stiff.
Xie Yu flipped through the novel, and when the others were almost at the end of the corridor, he suddenly thought of a plot point, and he said, “Wait a minute, Assistant Teacher Shen, are you going to substitute for the class on Wednesday?”
Shen Ci paused and stopped: “Yes.”
As the end of the semester approaches, undergraduates have a Q&A class. Shen Ci is a teaching assistant and is not responsible for giving lectures, but he is still responsible for answering questions in class. The entire morning on Wednesday is filled with his classes.
Xie Yu said: "Okay, I'll come see you before your class on Wednesday."
There is a plot point on Wednesday, so I need to prepare.
Shen Ci's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he said, "Okay."
He walked away quickly.
After the people left, Zhou Yang said with a sigh, "What the hell are you doing? How did I offend you? You want to teach him a lesson. When you just mentioned Wednesday, his face turned pale."
Xie Yu: “Nothing.”
The original text has a perverted plot, but it doesn’t matter, he will make the plot less perverted.
Zhou Yang laughed: “You also see that there is something wrong with Shen Ci’s persuasion of Lin Yin?”
Among the three people in the original text, Zhou Yang was the only one with a brain. Lin Yin initially refused to give in and wanted a huge amount of compensation. It didn't make sense that Shen Ci was convinced by just a few words. It could only mean that Lin Yin had other intentions, and He Zhiyuan was not done with this matter.
Xie Yu pretended to be confused and said perfunctorily: "You think too much, I don't think it's necessary."
He Zhiyuan, an 80's male supporting character in the novel, has a low IQ and a bad character, and can be called a fighter among trash. Xie Yu is about to pack up and go traveling, so he doesn't bother to care.
Zhou Yang: “Shen Ci thinks you’re going to teach him a lesson for this, and he’s scared enough.”
Xie Yu: “That’s not the case.”
He walked around Zhou Yang and said, "I'm leaving too. I rushed here so early in the morning and I'm so sleepy."
He is usually still sleeping at this time.
He walked downstairs instead of taking the elevator. His good mood throughout the morning was ruined by He Zhiyuan's troubles. He wandered aimlessly along the ward and came to the special treatment area.
This area was invested by Xie Yu's father, Xie Yuanshan. It is a semi-private ward of the public ward, which is in direct contact with foreign teams and is used for clinical trials of some drugs that have not yet been launched on the market. According to the background of the novel, Shen Ci's grandmother should live here.
The novel does not focus much on this old woman, she is just the background of the whole text, and her illness is also the beginning of Shen Ci's suffering. Xie Yu suddenly wanted to see what this old woman looked like.
Shen Ci had classes and was in a hurry, so he didn't have time to stay in the hospital for long. He stayed here for a few minutes and then left. Xie Yu slowly moved to the front of the ward and looked inside through the glass visiting window.
This is a single VIP ward. A haggard old woman lies in white bedding, looking so weak that she may die at any time. Beside her are many instruments whose names cannot be told, displaying incomprehensible waveform graphs and scanning curves. An IV drip is placed high up beside her, and medicine is being injected into her blood vessels at a uniform speed.
Judging from the bone structure alone, this old man does look somewhat like Shen Ci.
When reading the novel through the screen, all the characters are like background boards, and their life and death are insignificant. But now standing in front of the window, Xie Yu vaguely felt that this is indeed a living person, and the pressure on Shen Ci is not the vague reasons for posting pornographic articles, but the real burden of life.
The weather is already very cold now. The air Xie Yu exhaled sticks to the glass and forms a white mist. He raised his hand to wipe away the mist, but suddenly met a pair of eyes.
The old man in the house was looking at him.
Those brown eyes were about 70% similar to Shen Ci's, with clear gaze. She looked at Xie Yu, slightly confused at first, then she showed a kind smile.
Xie Yu paused and smiled back. Then he wiped the glass clean, pretended to be unintentional and left.

On Wednesday, three days before the final exams at University A, a drizzling rain fell in Jiangcheng.
Every autumn rain brings a chill. After the rain, the temperature drops sharply. There are many more people wearing windbreakers and cotton-padded jackets on the streets. Some are fully armed, wearing hats and scarves, and covering themselves tightly.
Shen Ci took one last look at the course lesson plan and closed the file.
He packed his things into his bag and didn't go into the classroom. He just stood at the door of the teaching building. Many students knew him and greeted him politely. Shen Ci nodded one by one. Some students came over to talk to him and asked him why he didn't go in when it was so cold.
Shen Ci just said to wait for someone, and after about ten minutes, a Bentley slowly drove in and stopped at the gate.
This car was too eye-catching, with headlights, double exhausts, and a length of five meters. It looked extremely expensive. Many classmates stopped to watch, and some took pictures with their mobile phones. Not long after, the car window was rolled down, and Xie Yu waved from the driver's seat. Shen Ci pursed his lips slightly and leaned into the car in public.
The car door closed and the discussion suddenly became louder.
This is not the first time Xie Yu has come to school. Many of the second-generation people who took photos of his car recognize him. His identity has been exposed in the campus forum, and even Shen Ci has been implicated. All kinds of comments have emerged one after another. Those who say that Shen Ci is a pretty boy are considered good, and most people say that he is climbing up the social ladder and selling himself.
Shen Ci never cared about these things. He and Xie Yu had an agreement relationship. What the pretty boy said was true, so there was no need to refute it. But when so many people got into the car, he was still a little hesitant.
Xie Yu was dressed warmly today, wearing a gray-brown scarf, and the lines of his profile were sharp in the shadows.
Shen Ci's fingertips moved slightly, a little nervous.
He was too careless to talk to Lin Yin. Xie Yu was right at the door, and if he asked around later, he might be able to guess most of the truth. It was not a wise move, but he had an inexplicable feeling that even if Xie Yu knew what he said, he would not do anything to him.
This feeling was inexplicable and irrational. Master Xie valued brotherhood the most. He Zhiyuan had known him for nearly ten years. In comparison, what was a toy that could be replaced at any time? But Shen Ci did it anyway. He didn't think so much in the hospital, but now sitting in the car, he suddenly became nervous.
Will Xie Yu... be angry? Did he come to punish him today?
But this tension was slightly different from the countless times before. Although I was nervous, I did not feel pain or despair. I even had some indescribable anticipation.
What did Xie Yu want him to do?
Xie Yu didn't let him guess for too long, and just handed him a box: "Here, wear it to class."
This is the original line.
The packaging box is square and has a gold-plated logo on it.
Shen Ci paused: "What is this?"
Xie Yu swallowed the lines of the plot expressionlessly, cursed the original text countless times, and only said: "You will know when you open it."
The name of this chapter is "Completely Shattered".
After going through the previous plots, beatings, torture, and games on the boat, the novel has reached this point, and what needs to be accomplished is a complete mental torture.
Shen Ci in the novel is extremely stubborn and refuses to give in. What could be more torturous than beating, scolding and punishment?
Degrade his self-esteem in front of his relatives and friends, dissolve his personality in public, make him wear something he cannot accept, finish the class at the podium, and then you can appreciate the beauty's complete collapse.
Because of the thick mosaic, Xie Yu couldn't even finish reading this chapter.
Shen Ci pursed his lips, held his breath, and gently opened the lid of the package.
It's a scarf.
The golden brown scarf is made of wool, soft to the touch, and has a beautiful houndstooth pattern.
Xie Yu pinched the steering wheel irritably: "Put it on, and don't take it off during the whole class, otherwise you know the consequences."
Shen Ci said nothing, his eyes swept across Xie Yu's neck. The two scarves were exactly the same in shape and style, and they looked like a couple's item designated by the merchant.
He held up the soft fabric, like holding up a cloud: "... for me?"
The author has something to say:
