Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Must Not Do Anything to Let Him Down
Aunt Xue followed behind Yan Qianyi, “Miss, who is he? How co I don’t recognize him?”
The miss’s friends were mostly known to her.
Yan Qianyi stopped, “Just an ordinary friend I t outside. Aunt Xue, go and cook, I’m starving.”
“Okay, I’ll go right now.”
Yan Qianyi tightened the robe she was wearing and walked out.
Hei Zai was standing outside, clad in a thin casual outfit, rubbing his hands together from the cold.
Seeing Yan Qianyi coming out, he imdiately brightened up with a smile, “I’ve been waiting for you for quite a while.”
Yan Qianyi, however, gave him an annoyed glance, “Didn’t I tell you not to co looking for again?”
“My parents found out the hotel I was staying at, now they’re looking for everywhere. I really have nowhere else to go, please let stay for a bit,” Hei Zai said with a pitiful face.
“You can’t stay here, my husband will get angry, and if he finds out about you, he will definitely investigate you. Then, my Cat Immortal identity will be impossible to conceal!”
“Don’t worry, he won’t find out about .”
Yan Qianyi frowned, really wanting to beat this botherso Hei Zai to death.
Hei Zai added, “How about this, let stay for lunch, have so hot soup, and then I’ll leave. Your husband probably isn’t ho right now, right?”
Yan Qianyi thought for a mont, after all, Aunt Xue had already seen Hei Zai.
“Well, this is the last ti. Eat and then leave quickly.”
Hei Zai’s face broke into a broad smile, “Great, great, great!”
“If you blow my Cat Immortal cover, I’ll kill you!”
“I promise it won’t happen! I swear!”
Yan Qianyi opened the courtyard door and let Hei Zai in.
She also reminded him uneasily, “Rember to call by my real na, you know my real na, right?”
“Yeah, yeah, I know.”
“If anyone asks, just say you are my patient, and you’re here to seek dical help.”
Hei Zai paused, “Do I look like a patient? Others probably won’t believe that, right?”
“Don’t worry,” Yan Qianyi sneered, “You look even more like a patient than a real patient.”
Due to Hei Zai’s face being pallid from lack of sunlight and his gaunt appearance,
he was the spitting image of the frail boy in a manga.
Hei Zai touched his own face, “I’m clearly full of life and brimming with sunshine. I suspect you’re cursing .”
“Stop talking nonsense and get inside already, it’s freezing out here.”
Yan Qianyi tightened her robe again and headed inside the house.
As she reached the doorway, she stopped, turned back and looked at Hei Zai, “By the way, what’s your na?”
Hei Zai paused.
“If it’s inconvenient for you to tell , I’ll just give you a random na, don’t complain about it being ugly.”
Though it would surely be better sounding than his nickna ‘Hei Zai’.
“Xia Ziyu.”
“Blind Fish?” Yan Qianyi chuckled, “Great, that na is even worse.”
“…” Hei Zai’s face darkened, “Xia, Ziyu!”
“Next ti you tell soone your na, make sure to pronounce it clearly; otherwise, they will really think you chose such a terrible na, wasting your good looks.”
Yan Qianyi went through the door and into the house.
Xia Ziyu, with a grim face, followed behind her.
He was convinced she was doing it on purpose!
He was a local, his pronunciation was obviously standard, how could she possibly misunderstand!
Aunt Xue ca out of the kitchen, her gaze sizing up the unfamiliar man following behind Yan Qianyi.
Yan Qianyi hastily introduced, “Aunt Xue, he is one of my patients, nad Xia Ziyu, he’s going to have lunch here. Please set an extra place for him.”
“Blind fish?” Aunt Xue was puzzled—such a handso boy, why would he have such an ugly na?
“…” Xia Ziyu almost spat out blood and died on the spot.
Her pronunciation was even less accurate!
But since it was their first eting, he had to make a good impression.
His mouth ford a smile, revealing a charming grin as he waved at Aunt Xue and obediently said, “Hello Aunt Xue, my na is Xia, Ziyu, it’s nice to et you. Please take care of .”
After speaking, he even gave Aunt Xue a bow.
All her life as a housekeeper, it was the first ti soone had bowed to her.
A pleasantly surprised smile appeared on her face, and her wary gaze suddenly beca friendly, “Hello.”
After the greeting, Aunt Xue imdiately pulled Yan Qianyi to the side and whispered:
“Miss, you can’t do sothing to betray your son-in-law, he has been so good to you, we can’t be heartless.”
“???” Yan Qianyi frowned.
“If Madam were still alive, she would never allow you to do this!”
“What are you talking about, Aunt Xue? I told you, he’s one of my patients.”
“Do you think I believe that? You never bring patients ho, especially not such a good-looking man. Alright, you don’t have to hide it from , I won’t tell the son-in-law. But after the al, you have to send him away quickly, you can’t make one mistake after another and fall deeper.”
She knew Miss all too well, from an early age Miss always liked good-looking people.
“…” Yan Qianyi was speechless, “You’re mistaken, he truly is one of my patients. He’s very unfortunate, diagnosed with a terminal illness, not long to live, and doesn’t have money for treatnt, that’s why he ca here.”
“Really?” Aunt Xue looked towards Xia Ziyu standing not far away.
Xia Ziyu heard Yan Qianyi’s words.
He resisted inwardly, unwilling to admit it, but still kept a smile on his face, nodding at Aunt Xue.
Yan Qianyi also nodded, “Really.”
Aunt Xue’s eyes suddenly filled with sympathy as she looked at Xia Ziyu, “Oh, that really is quite pitiful.”
“Right? After all, he ca all this way in the cold weather, and it’s almost alti. I couldn’t possibly send him away, could I?”
Aunt Xue shook her head, “No, you couldn’t. Madam used to say, ‘Doctors must have a compassionate heart.'”
“Then shouldn’t you get cooking? Look how skinny he is, if he doesn’t die from the illness, he might just starve to death.”
“I’m on it.”
Yan Qianyi let out a long sigh of relief.
She turned back and gave Xia Ziyu a helpless look.
What a troublemaker!
During the al, Xia Ziyu truly ate like soone who had run away from a famine area—wolfing down food voraciously.
Yet, even his voracious eating seed elegant, as if he had been taught strict etiquette from a young age.
Aunt Xue ate while watching her light screen, occasionally letting out a sigh.
“What’s wrong?” asked Yan Qianyi.
Aunt Xue quickly put away the light screen, “Miss, I just saw a news piece that made my blood boil.”
“What news?”
“A girl reported her stepfather for attempted rape, but the surveillance footage was deleted by her stepfather, and now the girl can’t bring forth any evidence. Her stepfather denies it all, claiming the girl is making it up because she doesn’t want to accept him as a stepfather and is trying to ruin their family’s harmony.”
Aunt Xue had nothing better to do usually and loved watching these kinds of news stories.
Xia Ziyu said, “If the surveillance was deleted, just have the tech people recover it, it’s not a big deal.”
Aunt Xue said, “It happened a year ago. The girl was afraid of being shad and didn’t report it. Recently she found her stepfather peeking at her while she bathed and got worried he might do sothing like that again, so she finally found the courage to report him.”
Xia Ziyu replied casually, “Even that can be restored.”
