Chapter 44
Lin Zaozao had just finished speaking and drifted off to sleep in an instant. From working hard since morning, her body was extremely exhausted.
Gu Shan held Lin Zaozao's wrist as he listened to the loud snores beside him. After a while, he let out a long sigh.
Because Lin Zaozao was too fat, the excess flesh on her body pressed down on her internal organs.
If she kept gaining weight like this, regardless of whether she was poisoned or not, her body wouldn't be able to take it.
Gu Shan looked at the sleeping Lin Zaozao beside him who was sleeping soundly. After covering her with the quilt, he waved his palm to put out the oil lamp. He had been used to the dark since he was young so at night he didn't need the oil lamp at all. If it wasn't for Lin Zaozao's sake, he wouldn't have brought the oil lamp from Ruo Qiu's room over to his room either.
When Lin Zaozao was in deep sleep, Gu Shan propped himself up on the bed and leapt out of the room using his internal energy through the roof beams.
Outside the room, Lin Zaozao’s other four husbands had been waiting there for some time. When they saw Gu Shan mobilizing his internal energy and flying out, their eyes were filled with complexity.
“Gu Shan, is the little fatty asleep?”
“She’s tired from working the whole day and is sleeping soundly.”
Gu Shan sat down next to Ji Fantian and said coldly.
Ignoring Gu Shan’s aloofness, Ji Fantian held his wrist. After a while, he slowly said,
“Gu Shan, did Lin Zaozao come into contact with you again today?”
“We were together just now.”
“I'm not talking about that. I mean, did she give you medical treatment again? The poison in your body has been reduced again. If this speed continues, in just three months, your legs will recover.”
“Is that so?”
Gu Shan looked at his legs that had lost sensation. At this moment, he was no longer as happy and eager as before.
Because when his legs recovered, it would be time for him to leave.
“You're not happy?” Murong Hai asked in puzzlement.
“No.” Gu Shan answered lightly.
“Ye Yi, Ji Fantian, no matter what plans you have for the future, I'll say it again now. Once you leave, you absolutely must not harm her.
Also...”
Gu Shan looked at Ye Yi, his eyes cold as he said, “Ye Yi, I don't know why Lin Zaozao brought those two wolf cubs back. But keep an eye on them. If they ever bite someone, I'll be the first to slaughter them.”
“Gu Shan, have you fallen for the fat and ugly Lin Zaozao?” Ji Fantian asked in disbelief.
“Ji Fantian, you guys don't need to fool me. I promised to help you with that matter, so I will definitely see it through. When I’m done with what I promised, then we'll be even. So my personal matters are none of your business.”
Having said that, Gu Shan stared coldly at Ruo Qiu and said, “Ruo Qiu, if I ever catch you sneaking into Lin Zaozao’s room to seduce her again, whatever your identity is, I'll throw you into the male servant's quarters.
You should know clearly that Gu Shan always keeps his word.”
Without even waiting to see Ruo Qiu's reaction, he propped himself up on the floor with his palm and flew straight back to his room.
Only after Gu Shan had shut his door did Ji Fantian and the other three involuntarily sigh deeply.
Gu Shan was a heartless man, and even more so a tool in the hands of those in power.
A tool shouldn’t have feelings.
The moment the blade gained emotions, that would be the moment it got discarded. Hopefully when that time came, things wouldn’t turn too rigid.
When Gu Shan returned to his room, Lin Zaozao was sleeping spread out across the middle of the bed, snoring loudly.
Seeing Lin Zaozao’s unrestrained sleeping posture, he flew and sat by the bedside, and with nimble strength, pulled Lin Zaozao’s arms to position her properly.
But Gu Shan had just lain down when Lin Zaozao rolled over and put her entire weight on top of him.
Feeling the weight on him, Gu Shan’s body tensed up, and his eyes also flashed a hint of helplessness.
No wonder when Lin Zaozao had run to Ji Fantian’s room yesterday she had irritated that usually unflappable man to near madness.
But when Gu Shan had just pushed Lin Zaozao off, after not even a moment, she rolled over and lay on top of him again.
Listening to the loud snores beside his ear, Gu Shan subconsciously blocked off his five senses. He didn’t even bother with the weight on him and just went straight to sleep.
Anyway, ever since he was young he had slept in all kinds of filthy and terrible environments, so sleeping together with an unrestful, loud snoring young girl was nothing.
And so, amidst Lin Zaozao’s loud snores, Gu Shan slept soundly through the night.
Although it was noisy beside his ear, his heart was calmer than it had ever been before.
The next morning at daybreak when Lin Zaozao groggily opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Gu Shan’s cold face.
Unconsciously moving her hand, the slightly warm and wet sensation on her hand told her things seemed a little awkward.
Lin Zaozao lowered her head to see her entire body pressing down on Gu Shan's. While Gu Shan at this moment was lying there motionless, not moving a muscle as he slept.
Looking at Gu Shan's gently heaving chest, she wondered if she had crushed Gu Shan to death!
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Zaozao hastily rolled off of Gu Shan. After steadying her breathing, she stretched out a trembling hand to Gu Shan’s nose.
Fortunately, he was still breathing.
But why was Gu Shan still not moving at all?
Could it be... he had fainted from her crushing him?
Thinking this, Lin Zaozao rolled out of bed without even putting on her shoes and raced towards Ji Fantian’s room.
When she got to Ji Fantian’s door, Lin Zaozao didn’t even bother knocking. She rammed it with her shoulder and sent Ji Fantian’s door flying open.
The moment the door slammed to the ground, Lin Zaozao came face to face with the naked Ji Fantian.
Without even giving Ji Fantian time to be shocked, Lin Zaozao dashed over to his side. She grabbed the quilt on his bed and threw it over him. Then she hugged him by the waist and ran back towards Gu Shan's room.
“Ji Fantian, hurry and save Gu Shan. I've crushed him unconscious!”
“Lin Zaozao, you fat ass woman, put me the fuck down!”
Ji Fantian shoved Lin Zaozao’s ugly face away, unable to endure it any longer as he exploded with curses. In all his life up till now, this was the first time he had ever swore at someone!
But unexpectedly today he would be angered by this crazy woman Lin Zaozao to such an extent.
“Little Fantian! How can you walk around naked! Gu Shan's already passed out. Just bear with it for now! After making sure Gu Shan is fine, I'll find clothes for you!”
Speaking, Lin Zaozao looked at Ji Fantian struggling incessantly in her arms. Losing her temper from impatience, she tucked Ji Fantian under her armpit with one arm and slapped his butt with her other hand.
“Stop struggling! I'm asking you to provide medical treatment, why are you so unwilling! And Gu Shan regards you as a good friend.”
As expected, after one slap Ji Fantian stopped struggling. He stared blankly as he felt the pain in a certain part of his body.
Although it didn't hurt much, it was very humiliating.
He would kill Lin Zaozao!
But before he could react, Lin Zaozao had carried him to Gu Shan's room.
However, when Lin Zaozao opened the door, she saw Gu Shan sitting on the bed looking quizzically at the two of them.
“Gu Shan, you’re alright!”
Carrying Ji Fantian, Lin Zaozao slowly walked to stand in front of Gu Shan and gingerly asked.
“Why wouldn’t I be alright? Lin Zaozao, why did you run so fast just now? Also...what’s this?”
“Oh him!”
With a flick of her hand Lin Zaozao dumped the quilt-wrapped Ji Fantian onto Gu Shan's bed. When she met Ji Fantian's eyes that were nearly spewing fire, she scratched her head awkwardly.
Damn! Just now in her anxiousness she had overdone it a little huh! After all Ji Fantian was still a man, he valued face too!
Even though Ji Fantian was blind, his gaze now still carried immense pressure. Lin Zaozao was truly a little scared by him staring at her. So to make up for her mistakes, she yanked Ji Fantian's quilt, exposing his naked body. Then she swiftly ran for the door.
“Little Fantian! Sorry about that! I'm heading back now to return your quilt. Don't be mad, be the bigger person!”
As Lin Zaozao was hugging her quilt running out the door, she was followed by Ji Fantian's furious roar.
"Lin Zaozao, you're dead!"
"Oh my! Why are you so angry? I was just returning your quilt wasn't I?"
Lin Zaozao quickly ran into Ji Fantian's room, threw the quilt in her arms onto his bed, then randomly grabbed a piece of clothing and ran towards Gu Shan's room.
By the time she returned to Gu Shan's room again, Gu Shan was already fully dressed sitting in the new wheelchair she had bought yesterday.
Ji Fantian, on the other hand, was curled up in Gu Shan's quilt like a quail.
"Little Ji Fantian, I'm sorry! I thought I had made Gu Shan pass out from pressure just now, so I was a bit violent towards you. Here, I brought you your clothes."
Having said that, Lin Zaozao threw Ji Fantian's clothes in front of him. She tossed them instead of handing them over because she was afraid of getting beaten.
Ji Fantian gritted his teeth as he took the clothes Lin Zaozao had given him, but when he opened it to take a look, his eyes nearly spat fire.
"Lin Zaozao, why is there only a top and no pants?"
"Ah! No pants, I'll go get them for you right away."
Flashing an apologetic smile at Ji Fantian whose whole body seemed to be on fire, Lin Zaozao turned around again and headed towards Ji Fantian’s room.
This time, when taking the clothes, she deliberately shook them open. After making sure they were pants, she carried Ji Fantian’s pants and ran towards Gu Shan’s room.
"Gu Shan, can you send these pants to Ji Fantian? I'm afraid he'll beat me up after putting them on."
Seeing the pants Lin Zaozao handed over pitifully, Gu Shan suppressed the smile in his eyes and could only reach out to take them.
After seeing Gu Shan take the pants, Lin Zaozao flashed him an apologetic smile then swiftly ran out towards the yard gate.
Oh my! If not run now, then when? If she gets caught by Ji Fantian later, she would either die or at least lose a layer of skin!
After all, that skinny Ji Fantian can be quite painful when beating people up.
