Chapter 61: How could an accident cause such serious injuries that one had to use the life-extending lamp...
Shi Can originally wanted to cut a rose in the yard, but he had a guilty conscience. He felt that it was not innocent for someone to bring a rose to the door in the middle of the night. Even with the baguette as a cover, it would still be strange. After thinking it over, he decided not to bring it.
Why not invite Lin Zhuyue to your home someday, cut a few branches, and send them along with other miscellaneous flowers. This way it will look more natural.
He drove to dormitory building No. 2, carried the cat bag in front of him, and knocked on Lin Zhuyue's dormitory door.
Lin Zhuyue came over to open the door with a bit of pastry.
Shi Chan asked in confusion, “What is this?”
"Your mother sent these flower cakes. They're really delicious. Didn't you receive them?"
Lin Zhuyue put Shican into the dormitory, closed the door, opened the cat bag in front of Shican, took out the baguette, and said,
"Why did you bring a cat to my place?"
"I accidentally bumped it on the head while playing with it. I agreed to give it some freeze-dried food as compensation, but we're out of stock at home, so I came to beg for some."
Shi Can sat down on the sofa without hesitation, picked up the flower cake on the table, opened it, took a bite, and said,
"Let's discuss it. Give me some of the flower cakes too."
Lin Zhuyue held the baguette with a wronged look on his face and said:
"I saw two boxes of freeze-dried food in your warehouse the night before last. One box of staple food and one box of snacks. I was thinking of bringing two back."
"I didn't see it."
Shi Can was begging for food with a clear conscience.
"Since you're here, give them something to eat."
Lin Zhuyue has always been very tolerant of kittens. Even though she knew that Shican had some in stock at home, she had no intention of letting the baguette go home empty-handed.
She took several packages of freeze-dried food, lined them up in front of the baguette, and asked softly:
"Which one do you want to eat? You can choose it yourself, and we'll pack the rest for you to take home. Oh, you want rabbit tenderloin? Then we'll cut it up."
Lin Zhuyue spoke to the kitten in a sweet voice. Shi Can, who was sitting on the sofa eating flower cakes, felt a toothache for some unknown reason.
When Xiaoyu heard the sound of the freeze-dried bag, he quickly came over and tugged at Lin Zhuyue's legs, meowing.
Shi Chan asked, "Aren't you going to give it food?"
"No, I just gave it a lot."
Lin Zhuyue brought the freeze-dried food to the baguette's mouth and said,
"Baby, why are you eating so fast? Doesn't your dad give you food? It's okay. If he doesn't give you food, I will."
Shi Can picked up Xiaoyu from the ground, held her in his arms, and sat lazily on the sofa. Facing Lin Zhuyue's accusation, he did not refute it.
After Lin Zhuyue finished feeding the freeze-dried food, he put the baguette in his arms, kissed the baguette's furry head, and said:
"Give me a kiss, and the pain will fly away~"
Shi Can stayed in Lin Zhuyue's dormitory until very late.
He carried a cat bag on his back and various freeze-dried foods in his hands, and went downstairs to drive home. As soon as he got in the car, he sent a message to Ms. Cui:
Where's my flower cake? Was it lost along the way?
Ms. Cui’s reply made Shi Can feel the coldness of maternal love:
[No, I didn't send it to you. I heard you gained weight. Manage your weight well. If your abs disappear, no girl will like you.]
Shi Chan: [Did you give me this as a gift when you topped up your phone? ]
Cui Yi: [It could have been found in a trash can.]
Shi Can: [……]
Shi Can felt that it was no big problem. If Ms. Cui didn't send him the flower cake, he could eat Lin Zhuyue's.
He is truly a genius.
The next morning, Shi Chan arrived at the classroom. He had a laptop in front of him, and he was typing away on the keyboard, working on his assignment report while classes were still ongoing.
Lin Zhuyue sat next to him and opened a carton of milk.
Shi Can took the milk carton, took a look at it, and then returned it to Lin Zhuyue.
Lin Zhuyue asked: "What are you doing?"
“Make sure the sweeper doesn’t suck up expired garbage.”
Shi Can raised his hand and patted Lin Zhuyue's head, took out a box from his schoolbag, pushed it in front of Lin Zhuyue, and said,
"Otherwise, subsequent repairs would be very difficult. This is the reward the sweeper deserves for sucking in legal food."
Lin Zhuyue opened the box and found all kinds of cookies inside.
"I smell the sweets."
Ye Yangjia turned around and said,
"You baked it yourself again? Not bad, you're very handy."
Ye Yangjia picked up a cookie without hesitation.
Shi Can took the cookie back from Ye Yangjia's hand and asked:
"Can you smell the butter I use?"
Ye Yangjia felt that Shi Can was being long-winded, and said:
"Who cares where it's from? As long as it tastes good, that's all that matters."
Shi Chan said seriously, "You can't even smell this. That's just the way your taste is. You don't deserve this box of cookies. Go back to your book."
Ye Yangjia gave Shi Can the middle finger.
Lin Zhuyue also lowered his head and continued drinking milk.
Shi Chan asked, “Don’t you want to eat?”
Lin Zhuyue said very frankly:
"I can't smell what kind of butter you used either."
Lin Zhuyue does not have the talent to be a gourmet. Her taste buds and sense of smell are easy to deal with. She may never be able to smell what kind of butter Shican used when making cookies.
“That’s why I want to try it.”
Shi Can's eyes were filled with a gentle light. He held the cookie box in front of Lin Zhuyue and said,
"It should taste good, why not try it?"
Ye Yangjia, who was sitting in the front row: "..."
Lin Zhuyue picked up a cookie and took a bite.
The cookies were so crispy that they could be crumbed, and had a very distinct milky aroma. The fruity aroma of cognac and the milky aroma of butter blended perfectly, making the cookies taste rich and not too sweet. They captured Lin Zhuyue's taste buds in one bite.
Shi Chan asked, "Did you taste it?"
Lin Zhuyue shook his head and replied, "No."
Shi Chan coaxed gently, "Eat another piece."
Ye Yangjia gritted his teeth.
"Where's that teeth grinding sound coming from?"
Gong Yongyuan, who was sleeping on the table, cursed,
"Who brings their hamster to class?"
During the free time of the physical training class, Ye Yangjia and his classmates scolded Shi Can:
"Shi Chan is a dog! I've never seen him so hypocritical in my life!"
“I totally understand that.”
Wen Miyan came over holding a biscuit and said,
"Baking is quite troublesome. I work so hard and painstakingly to make something for someone else, and I wouldn't let anyone else get started first."
Ye Yangjia asked: "What are you eating?"
"Cookies, give me some each month."
Wen Miyan savored the cookies carefully and said,
"Don't mention it, it's really delicious. It would be a real shame if I couldn't have it."
Ye Yangjia asked: "Didn't Shi Gou get angry with you?"
"How could he have the energy to notice I was eating cookies?"
Wen Miyan pointed to the runway and said,
"I'm busy competing with my love rival."
In the direction Wen Mixian pointed, Shi Can and Feng Yuansi were running circles.
Feng Yuansi was originally the only one running, but Shi Can, for some reason, also joined the track and started competing with Feng Yuansi. The two chased each other, neither willing to give in. The competition finally ended when Feng Yuansi's shoes broke.
Shi Chan sat down in the stands surrounding the track and gasped for breath.
Lin Zhuyue handed over a can of eight-treasure porridge: "Replenish your water."
"Why are you giving me porridge?"
Shi Can took the jar of eight-treasure porridge and asked,
"Why is it still hot?"
Lin Zhuyue was also helpless and said:
"The vending machine is broken. I wanted to buy electrolyte water, but it only spit this out at me. If you don't want to drink it, forget it."
Shi Can dodged Lin Zhuyue's hand as he tried to take back the Eight Treasure Porridge:
"Drink, who said not to drink?"
At this time, Shi Can lowered his head slightly, looked at Lin Zhuyue's feet, and reminded:
"Your shoe laces are untied."
Lin Zhuyue's shoes were not very good, and the laces always came loose. When she walked, she could hear the laces swinging under her feet, and she had to squat down to tie the laces.
She plans to change her shoelaces.
Lin Zhuyue put down his water and was about to bend down.
Shi Can squatted down before her, reached out, tied Lin Zhuyue's shoelaces, and tied a beautiful bow.
"……Thanks."
Lin Zhuyue took out alcohol wipes from his pocket, pulled out one and handed it to Shi Can.
Shi Can wiped his hands and started eating eight-treasure porridge.
He actually didn't like canned eight-treasure porridge, always feeling it wasn't as good as freshly cooked. But today's eight-treasure porridge was unexpectedly sweet, so sweet that it even gave his recently rotten tooth a slight ache.
"Miyan said we'll have pickled seafood for lunch."
Lin Zhuyue sat next to Shi Can and said,
"She asked me to call you up."
Wen Miyan, a Zhejiang native with a Yuancheng household registration, has a Guangdong palate and is deeply fond of Guangdong's many delicacies. Morning tea, clay pot rice, pickled vegetables—there's nothing she doesn't love about delicious food.
In order to be able to enjoy Cantonese cuisine at any time, she even has two Cantonese chefs at home.
Shi Chan tells the family chef to stop cooking.
After school at noon, he and Lin Zhuyue went to Wen Miyan's house together.
Ye Yangjia was there too. He filled a bowl with marinade and handed it to Shi Can, saying:
"My partner said, if you can't taste the soy sauce, don't even think about having a bite of seafood for lunch today."
Shi Can took the bowl calmly, took a sip, and replied:
"Light soy sauce."
Ye Yangjia was stunned and asked, "You can even taste this?"
Shi Can patted Ye Yangjia's shoulder:
"You think I'm you?"
The chef pickled a lot of crabs and mantis shrimp, as well as oysters shipped from abroad. The sauce was divided into two parts, one without cilantro, and the other with lots of cilantro.
This was to cater to the tastes of Shi Can and Ye Yangjia. The two of them had hated coriander since childhood, and Wen Miyan often used coriander instant noodles to tease them.
Ye Yangjia made an explosive sound:
"If I ruled the world, I would ban the growth of cilantro anywhere in the world."
Master Shi was even more resolute than Ye Yangjia and said:
"Oh, if I had the final say, I would have the whole world grow coriander for me. After it's grown, no one is allowed to eat it and it must all be thrown away."
Lin Zhuyue ignored the two people. She was working hard to peel the crab and pick out the crystal clear crab meat from the raw and pickled swimming crab.
Wen Miyan took half a crab and squeezed it hard, squeezing the crab shell flat and squeezing out all the crab meat inside. She handed the crab meat to Lin Zhuyue's mouth and said:
“It’s easier to eat this way.”
Lin Zhuyue seemed to have opened up a new world.
The four of them ate their fill of raw and pickled food and then lay on the lawn in the courtyard to bask in the sun.
The afternoon sun was warm, and having just finished eating, the blood in her body was flowing towards her stomach, making Lin Zhuyue feel a little sleepy. She closed her eyes, turned slightly to the side, and drifted off to sleep.
Shi Can looked at Lin Zhuyue's sleeping face and felt itchy in his heart. He stretched out his hand and wanted to poke Lin Zhuyue's face.
Wen Miyan: "Cough."
Ye Yangjia: "Cough cough cough..."
"If you have a sore throat, get treatment right away."
Shi Chan withdrew his hand and lay quietly on the lawn.
"Don't wake my partner."
Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia both raised their middle fingers to Shi Can.
When they arrived at the academy in the afternoon, Shi Can went to the office to hand in his task report. Lin Zhuyue was still half asleep, so she got out of the car and followed Shi Can all the way into the office.
After seeing Fu Xingwei, she showed a confused expression and asked doubtfully: "Am I not on my way to the classroom?"
"I thought you came here specifically to accompany me to submit the report."
Shi Can connected the office printer, printed out the task report, handed it to Fu Xingwei, and said,
"Teacher, I didn't mean to say bad things about my classmates. I feel that Feng Yuansi's ideas seem to be different from ours. You should pay more attention to him. It's best to talk to him, otherwise sooner or later he will cause trouble."
"I looked for him this morning."
Fu Xingwei took the mission report and said,
"He doesn't seem to understand you very well. His ideas are indeed not right. I've already talked to him about it, and I'll keep a close eye on him from now on."
That night, Shican had a dream.
The scene in the dream seemed to be a riverside, foggy and shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see anything. He walked along the river for a long, long time, a distance as long as the time he had been trapped in the underworld.
As he walked, Lin Zhuyue's figure appeared before him.
The girl smiled at him gently, her eyebrows slightly curved.
She quickly turned and ran away.
Shi Chan also ran, trying to catch up with her, but there was no sign of her.
He woke up in a state of endless melancholy and sat there for a moment, bewildered. He wondered if it was because he'd eaten too many oysters at lunch that his body was reacting.
He went into the bathroom and took a cold shower.
The next morning, he was lying on the desk in the classroom with a red face, looking listless and without any energy.
Lin Zhuyue reached out and touched his forehead.
Lin Zhuyue's hands were cool and comfortable, and Shi Can couldn't help but rub them with his forehead.
"Ah, I have a fever. It seems to be quite severe."
Lin Zhuyue pulled Shican up from his seat and said,
"Let's go. No more classes. Let's go to the clinic."
Lin Zhuyue took Shi Can's cell phone and called the Shi family's driver, asking him to drive over to pick up their young master.
The car drove over quickly, Lin Zhuyue stuffed Shi Can into the back seat, and the driver took them to Yunze Medical Clinic.
Shican's temperature was nearly 39 degrees. The doctor gave Shican a small injection to reduce the fever, gave him an IV drip, and arranged for him to lie on the bed in the ward.
The IV drip on the back of Shican's left hand was not inserted properly. Less than twenty minutes into the injection, as expected, the fluid leaked and a big bump appeared on the back of his hand.
The doctor changed the procedure to the other hand.
Lin Zhuyue grabbed Shi Can's left hand and pressed the needle hole.
Shi Can lay quietly in bed, looking at Lin Zhuyue with a smile on his face. Perhaps because of his illness, his smile was particularly soft.
"What are you laughing at? How can you laugh when you're sick?"
Lin Zhuyue freed one hand and touched Shi Can's forehead.
"You're not crazy, are you? Your fever is clearly starting to subside."
Shi Can grabbed Lin Zhuyue's hand and said:
"Of course I can't burn myself out. If I burn myself out, no one will want me and I'll end up alone."
"You worry too much."
Lin Zhuyue said seriously,
"Your brain is only burned, not disfigured, and your family has a huge fortune, so someone must want you."
Shi Can: “…”
Shi Chan blinked and asked, “Do you want it?”
Even if Lin Zhuyue was after his face and money, he would accept it.
Children of aristocratic families generally have to marry each other, and there is no emotional foundation between the two parties. Shi Can felt that he could bear the suffering that others could endure.
Lin Zhuyue shook her head without even thinking:
"I'm not short of money, I'm just a little bit lustful, why would I need a fool?"
Shi Can couldn't laugh anymore.
Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia did not come to see Shi Can.
It's not that they are heartless, but they are burdened with heavy responsibilities and cannot spare the time.
Fu Xingwei assigned a task to Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia, and hoped that they could take Feng Yuansi with them.
Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia knew that according to Fu Xingwei's arrangement, most groups in the class would take Feng Yuansi on a mission, so they did not refuse and set off from Tiancheng with Feng Yuansi.
Lin Zhuyue was waiting for the Shi family's housekeeper to come.
The housekeeper came to take care of Shican, so she could go back to the academy for classes.
But for some reason, the butler never came.
Lin Zhuyue didn't dare to leave Shi Can, who looked particularly silly today, alone in the clinic, so she could only stay and look after him.
"Let me give you a lecture."
Shi Can felt a little guilty for asking the housekeeper not to come to the clinic, and said,
"I have prepared for the course and have learned it thoroughly. I can explain it no worse than the teacher."
Lin Zhuyue asked in surprise:
"Can you still give lectures? With your current brain, can you really listen to the lectures?"
Shi Can: “…”
Shican has a good physique and rarely gets sick.
The doctor didn't think his condition was a big deal. After giving him an IV and confirming that his fever had subsided, the clinic let him go home.
The cat in the dormitory was still waiting for Lin Zhuyue to take care of it, so Lin Zhuyue couldn't stay at Shican's house for long. She went back to the classroom and carried Shican's schoolbag back to her dormitory, planning to bring it back to the classroom tomorrow.
Lin Zhuyue took a photo of the flower cake and sent it to Shi Can:
【Do you want to eat? 】
The doctor told Shichan not to eat high-calorie foods.
Shi Can was silent for a long time.
He sent me a screenshot, which showed an order from Taobao. There were twelve flower cakes in a pack, and he bought one hundred packs. The recipient was Lin Zhuyue.
Shi Chan: [If you like it so much, eat more.]
Lin Zhuyue: [horrified.jpg]
Lin Zhuyue: [Quickly withdraw!!!]
Lin Zhuyue was already scared by the coconut cakes that Lin Lang bought, and she didn't want to face a hundred packs of flower cakes again.
Shi Chan: [A fool doesn’t know how to get a refund.]
Twenty minutes later, Lin Zhuyue brought Xiaoyu to Shican's house, snatched Shican's mobile phone, and returned the flower cake.
Shi Chan held the little fish in his left hand and the baguette in his right hand, and asked the two kittens:
"Do you want cat strips? Do you want them freeze-dried?"
Lin Zhuyue was lying on the floor of the cat room with a peaceful expression, as if his soul had ascended to heaven and only his body was left.
Shi Can asked Lin Zhuyue a question:
"If I'm not stupid, do you want it?"
Lin Zhuyue shook his head: "No, it's too tiring."
There was no seriousness in Lin Zhuyue's words, and she seemed to think Shi Can was joking.
Shi Can had a headache. He wanted to tell Lin Zhuyue that he was serious, but he was afraid of scaring her and ruining the partnership they had worked so hard to build.
"Eat something?"
Shi Can asked while feeding the cat freeze-dried food,
"We have fish skin dumplings at home. Can I ask the chef to make you a bowl?"
Lin Zhuyue said, "Food."
Shi Chan picked up his phone and was about to call the chef.
But Fu Xingwei's call came to his cell phone first.
Shi Chan picked up the phone.
"Shi Can, bring your Seven Star Life-Extending Lamp and come to the rooftop of the Spiritual Master Mansion. Hurry up."
Fu Xingwei's voice was very urgent.
"Something happened to Ye Yangjia, we need to rush over as quickly as possible."
The Seven-Star Life-Extending Lamp was a very precious item, and even among aristocratic families, it was difficult to find more than a few sets. Furthermore, even searching the entire Heavenly City would reveal only a few people capable of lighting a life-extending lamp.
Shi Can's pupils shrank, and he stood up and walked out of the cat room.
Lin Zhuyue heard the content of the phone call clearly. She was very worried about Ye Yangjia's condition. Although she didn't know what she could do, she still caught up with Shi Can from behind.
The housekeeper was about to enter the cat room, and Shican stuffed the freeze-dried bag into the housekeeper's hand and asked him to clean up the cat room and take good care of the kittens.
He hurried down to the third floor and entered a windowless room. There was an altar with many tablets on it. The room was neatly tidy, and it seemed to be a place for worshipping ancestors.
Shi Can didn't stay in this room for long. He pushed open a secret door.
The room behind the secret door is like a treasure trove.
Copper bells, umbrellas, copper coin swords...all kinds of props are lined up in the room, and almost every prop has a heavy aura.
Shi Can opened a cupboard, took out a wooden box half a person's height, and pulled Lin Zhuyue out.
He drove straight to the spiritual master's residence.
The helicopter has been preheated and is waiting for him and Lin Zhuyue.
After getting on the helicopter, Shi Can finally had time to ask:
"What happened to Ye Yangjia? How did he get injured to the point where he needed to use the life-support lamp?" Fu Xingwei said, "He was stabbed through the heart by a ghost, very close to his heart. The hospital is cauterizing the wound to stop the bleeding, but his condition is terrible, and his vital signs are declining."
"You didn't assign them any difficult tasks, did you?"
Shi Can felt that something was wrong and said,
"Ye Yangjia is not good at close combat, so he always keeps a certain distance from the ghosts, not giving them a chance to stab him..."
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Is the problem with Feng Yuansi?"
Fu Xingwei sighed.
His two students are very inspired, and it is not easy to hide anything from such people.
Moreover, he must tell Shi Can about the matter. He wants to use the life-extending lamp in Shi Can's home, so he must make the truth clear and cannot keep Shi Can in the dark.
"The worst has happened."
Fu Xingwei lowered his head and said guiltily,
"He forcibly sent the ghost away, and because of its obsession, the ghost returned. The ghost that was originally easy to deal with turned into a very powerful ghost, and the moment it returned, it seriously injured Ye Yangjia."
