KEIGHTY: Special thanks to VitaB for the ko-fi donations! (Extra chapter 2/3)
The bus closing time was at 9:30 pm, and He Yu had to transfer to another bus later. He also had to walk for about 10 minutes to go to Fu Chenshan’s house from the bus stop that was close to his residence. Despite having a nice front, the high-end community is actually somewhat desolate.
He Yu walked close to the wall. The dim light from the street lamp shone from behind, dragging his long shadow. He was a little distracted as he looked at the shadow under his feet. He suddenly noticed someone approaching him from behind.
The man’s steps were very light, and his movements were fast. He suddenly moved up behind He Yu, pressed a knife on his lower back, and said in a trembling voice, “Don’t make any sound; take your money out.”
Most of these robbers on the road would target single women carrying bags, and they would point knives at them and rob them. He Yu thought that he was probably panicking because he was thinking about money.
He Yu stopped and said calmly, “I don’t have money.” The man obviously didn’t believe it.
A hand reached out from behind him and dug into his pocket. When he found nothing, he turned to his trouser pocket.
He Yu’s money and mobile phone were placed in the inner pocket of his jacket. There was also a wallet in his trouser pocket that only contained his ID.
The man took out his bag and opened it. Seeing that there was no money, he threw it aside and asked, “Where’s your money?”
He Yu said, “I really don’t have it. I live nearby. I simply went for a walk after dinner and didn’t bring any money with me.”
The man didn’t make a sound for a while. Only his heavy breathing could be heard, as if he were thinking about what to do next.
He Yu did not provoke him, hoping that he would just stop and leave.
Who knew that the next second, the man raised his knee and hit He Yu hard on the back. He Yu stumbled and took two steps forward. He turned his head and saw the man raising the knife to stab his back. He quickly stepped aside. At the same time, he held the man’s wrist with one hand and pulled him forward.
The man lost his balance and fell forward.
He Yu turned around and kicked him in the thigh, almost knocking him down.
The man put one hand on the ground, swung the knife with the other hand, and slashed He Yu’s leg hard. His trousers instantly tore open, and the skin on his calf was torn as well.
He Yu took two steps back. The man immediately got up and ran away.
He Yu leaned against the wall. He gasped for a while as he limped over and picked up his bag. He then continued walking to Fu Chenshan’s house while holding on to the wall.
His leg seemed to be bleeding all the time. The street lights were too dim for He Yu to see clearly. He only felt that his pants seemed to be a little wet. But fortunately, the pain was bearable.
He Yu wondered if Fu Chenshan had any gauze at home to stop the bleeding.
As he opened the door with the key, the first thing He Yu saw was a pair of golden high heels placed at the door. They were the high-profile style that Ling Zhilu usually liked.
He Yu hadn’t reacted at that time yet. When he walked to the living room and saw Ling Zhilu’s coat still on the sofa and Fu Chenshan’s closed door, he suddenly realized something. At that moment, he felt as if his head had been punched, and his head began to buzz.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
He Yu lifted up his trousers and looked at his hideous wounds. Not caring about anything else, he reached out and turned on the headlight on the ceiling of the living room. He began to rummage through the cabinets to find a medicine box at Fu Chenshan’s home.
He couldn’t find it under the coffee table or the TV cabinet. He Yu went to rummage in the bathroom cabinet instead. Suddenly, the sound of smashing glass came from Fu Chenshan’s room. He Yu was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that he might have been too noisy, which made Ling Zhilu unhappy, so she lost her temper and broke things.
After a while, Fu Chenshan came out of the room wearing pajamas and asked He Yu, “Why are you back so late?”
He Yu did not answer him but asked, “Do you have a medicine box at home?”
“Medicine box?” Fu Chenshan walked closer. “Why are you looking for the medicine box?” As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the blood stains on He Yu’s legs. He quickly squatted down at He Yu’s feet, reaching out to lift his pants’ legs.
He Yu subconsciously took a step back.
Fu Chenshan still held his ankle. When he saw the torn pants and the wound on his leg, his expression changed. He asked nervously, “How did you get hurt?”
He Yu said, “It’s okay. I accidentally rubbed it when I was going back here.”
“How can such a big wound be caused by just rubbing it?” Fu Chenshan stood up, crossing past He Yu as he opened the locker on the bathroom door. He then took out a white box.
There is a clean gauze inside.
He Yu sat down and let Fu Chenshan help him bandage the wound.
Then Fu Chenshan stood up and said, “You should go to the hospital with me.”
He Yu raised his head and looked at him; the smile on his face looked a little pale. “It’s okay, it’s not that serious.”
Fu Chenshan’s expression was serious as he reached out to pull He Yu’s arm. “Get up, let’s go now.”
Fu Chenshan’s door opened from the inside. Ling Zhilu wore Fu Chenshan’s white shirt on top of her lace pajamas. She stood at the door and looked at He Yu coldly. “What’s wrong?”
Fu Chenshan said in a gentle tone, “He Yu is injured. I will take him to the hospital.”
Ling Zhilu’s brows furrowed. “Why are you injured? Did you cause trouble by fighting outside?”
Fu Chenshan came over and took Ling Zhilu back to the room. He Yu heard him gently advising her, “It was an accident. I will accompany Xiao Yu to the hospital now. You can rest well at home; you don’t have to wait for me.”
Ling Zhilu snorted coldly.
Fu Chenshan whispered again, “Go back to bed and lie down. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
Ling Zhilu sneered, “You always have too many things to do.”
Fu Chenshan didn’t say anything else. After a while, he changed his clothes and came out of the room, closing the door.
“Let’s go,” he said, walking to the sofa and helping He Yu up.
He Yu stood up by supporting himself with his other arm and said, “It’s really okay. You should stay at home with your wife.”
Fu Chenshan did not respond to his words; rather, he firmly supported He Yu as they walked out.
When the two of them were in the elevator, He Yu sighed. Leaning against the elevator wall, he muttered, “I’m so sorry for causing you so much trouble and making my sister-in-law angry.”
Fu Chenshan looked at him. He reached out and touched his head. “Nonsense.”
He Yu curled his lips and smiled lightly.
Fu Chenshan drove He Yu to the hospital. In fact, there was a community hospital not far from the community. It only took a few minutes to get there by car.
He Yu leaned on the back of the chair; the lights on the roadside shone on his face, flickering brightly and dimly. He suddenly regretted it. He should have gone directly to the hospital instead of going back to disturb Fu Chenshan.
He went to the hospital, where he received seven stitches. The doctor ordered another tetanus shot.
Fu Chenshan then went to pay for the medicine. When he came back, He Yu was still lining up outside the injection room.
Fu Chenshan sat down next to him and said, “There are so many people at this late hour.”
He Yu responded, “Yes.”
Fu Chenshan turned his head sideways, looked at He Yu’s sharpened chin, and uttered softly, “Be careful in the future; take good care of your body.”
He Yu smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious.”
The two fell silent.
The nurse came out to call him. It was He Yu’s turn to get the injection.
When He Yu stood up, Fu Chenshan quickly reached out to help him. He Yu gently pushed him away. “No, I can walk.” Then he limped into the injection room.
After the wound on his leg was treated, Fu Chenshan still drove He Yu back.
He Yu suddenly said, “I will move out after a while.”
Fu Chenshan almost hit the brakes. Then he slowed down the car, drove slowly along the roadside, and asked, “Why do you want to move?”
He Yu answered, “It’s not convenient; it’s too troublesome for you.”
Fu Chenshan replied, “What troublesome? Zhilu doesn’t usually live here. Please don’t misunderstand. Today, she said she had a quarrel with her father and didn’t want to go home, so…”
“It has nothing to do with Miss Ling,” He Yu interrupted him. “I can’t live in your house forever. I found a job—which may not be very respectable in your opinion—but the boss doesn’t dislike me, and I can always do the job. I will make other plans in the future as well.”
Fu Chenshan asked, “What job?”
He Yu was silent for a moment and then said, “Helping my friend’s restaurant.”
Fu Chenshan asked again, “Then where will you live?”
He Yu: “I’m still looking for that. If I finally find the right one, I’ll move out as soon as possible.”
Fu Chenshan listened and drove forward silently. After a while, he said again, “I still have a house in the city. It’s a small house. How about…”
“No,” He Yu interrupted him, “thank you for your kindness.”
“Xiao Yu…”
“It’s okay, stop talking!” He Yu suddenly became a little irritable. What’s this? To compensate? He really doesn’t need this, and if possible, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with Fu Chenshan anymore.
The car fell silent.
He Yu stretched out his hand to press down on the car window. His mood gradually calmed down. He thought, why did he lose his temper with Chenshan again? He obviously tried to be kind, he shouldn’t blame him.
“I’m sorry.” He Yu apologized.
Fu Chenshan raised his hand and touched He Yu’s head. “I’m just sorry for you.”
What’s the use of talking more about this? It makes no difference to He Yu now.
When he got home, Fu Chenshan’s door was kept tightly closed. Ling Zhilu should have fallen asleep.
He Yu went to the bathroom to wash up briefly. Fu Chenshan told him at the door not to come into contact with water.
He Yu nodded. “I understand. Go to bed quickly.”
Fu Chenshan asked again, “Are you still going out to work tomorrow?”
He Yu soaked the towel with water and covered his face. He thought for a while and said, “I will ask for a leave.” His foot was injured, and he definitely wouldn’t be able to do his work properly. Going to Li Tang would only cause trouble for him.
Fu Chenshan was relieved. “We’ll talk about other things after your injury is healed. Have a good rest for the next few days.” After saying that, he added, “I’ll order takeout for you at noon, so don’t go out.”
He Yu agreed, “Thank you.”
Fu Chenshan stood quietly for a while and said, “I’m going to bed.”
He Yu nodded. “Good night.”
The author has something to say:
I suddenly had two collections with a few clicks. I feel so happy… The gong will appear in the next chapter.
KEIGHTY:
Volume 2: Reunion will start in Chapter 10! I’m looking forward to seeing you guys on the next volume, lovelots <3
Maybe my dislike for Fu Chenshan is too stroung but I don’t think he’s helping He Yu out of kindness or guilt. I think he’s trying to keep him near himself to keep an eye on him and make sure He Yu doesn’t decide to tell the truth to someone some day and ruin his life. He seems like a very cunning person who will do anything for money and power.
Thank you for the chapter!
Fu chenshan is too scheming. I also think he keeps he yu close just to monitor his every move and not let the truth out. Which explains why he idiotically suggested he yu come back to work at lingyun
Our MC is slowly losing it! I honestly want him to show his anger and frustration at FC. He really deserves a few slaps. I’m just so happy our ML is about to show up.
I really can’t stand this awkward relationship anymore, really have to restrain myself from jumping straight to chapter 10!
