76: Chapter 74: Liu Shanshan’s Phone Call 76: Chapter 74: Liu Shanshan’s Phone Call After leaving the neighborhood and checking the ti, it was past midnight.
By now, Lin Feifei had probably already gone to bed.
Returning so late made Tangyu feel sowhat embarrassed; after all, it wasn’t his own house, and he couldn’t be too casual.
The feeling of living under soone else’s roof truly wasn’t very pleasant.
Even though it might be a luxury villa, there would still be many inconvenient restrictions.
Unfortunately, Lin Feifei wasn’t willing to fully cooperate with her treatnt.
Otherwise, her illness could have been cured quickly.
If that were the case, he wouldn’t have any ties holding him back, and could move out.
“A golden house, a silver house, is not as good as one’s own doghouse,” so goes the saying.
Shaking his head and preparing to hail a cab to return, his phone suddenly rang.
It was Liu Shanshan calling.
What did she want at such a late hour?
“Ah—Tang—Yu, I, I—ah, it hurts so much—” On the other end of the phone, there ca a weak, intermittent groan of pain.
Hearing this voice, Tangyu’s brows instantly furrowed, and he quickly asked with concern, “What happened, what’s wrong?”
“I, I don’t know, my stomach hurts so bad, it really hurts, ah—”
Such sudden, unbearable stomach pain, what was happening?
Had she eaten sothing bad, or was there so other health problem?
Liu Shanshan usually looked very healthy, and reasonably, her body shouldn’t have any issues.
However, at the mont, Tangyu didn’t have ti to think much, and imdiately said, “Endure it a little longer, I’m on my way.” After hanging up, it was hard to get a cab this late, especially since this wasn’t a bustling area.
Fortunately, the place where Sister Xin lived wasn’t far from Liu Shanshan’s, so it would probably take about fifteen minutes by foot.
Tangyu sprinted all the way there.
If anyone saw him at that mont, they would surely be shocked because his speed was unbelievably fast, almost like lightning.
Within three minutes, Tangyu had arrived at Liu Shanshan’s front door and called through.
“Liu Shanshan, open the door quickly.
I’m at your doorstep,” Tangyu said.
After a while, the door finally opened.
Liu Shanshan was holding her stomach, her face beaded with sweat and sowhat pale.
Her hair was slightly disheveled and damp, her pained expression causing imnse pity.
Tangyu quickly took in Liu Shanshan’s condition: her complexion was shades of pale, her lips turned purple, things didn’t look good.
Without hesitation, Tangyu entered and supported Liu Shanshan who helplessly collapsed into his arms, her eyes casting a few unusual glints at Tangyu.
She seed to want to say sothing, but her mouth opened and was overco by the pain.
Tangyu carried Liu Shanshan into her bedroom and laid her on the bed.
He reached out to her stomach, and Pure Yang Qi burst forth, seeping into Liu Shanshan’s body to alleviate the pain.
Almost imdiately, Liu Shanshan’s agony began to ease, and slowly, the pain faded away.
The color returned to Liu Shanshan’s face, and her eyes regained so life.
The look she gave Tangyu now held a different light.
There was gratitude, surprise, and even a bit of flirtation and admiration.
Which girl wouldn’t want a warm man by her side during tis of distress, vulnerability, and pain?
Such emotions often touched won’s hearts the most.
At that mont, Liu Shanshan’s gaze towards Tangyu carried a hint of flirtation.
“How do you feel now?” Tangyu asked, concerned.
Liu Shanshan replied, “I feel fine now, the pain is gone.
Tangyu, I really can’t thank you enough.
Are you trained in Chinese dicine?”
“Sort of.
Don’t move for now.
What exactly happened?
How did your stomach suddenly beco so painful?
My check just now didn’t indicate it was caused by sothing you ate.
Tell in detail what happened just now,” Tangyu said.
Liu Shanshan looked at Tangyu before she slowly began to speak.
After listening to Liu Shanshan, Tangyu nodded and said, “It seems the situation is pretty much what I expected; the weather isn’t cold, still over twenty degrees—though not hot.
Plus, your period is about to start, and at this ti your constitution might seem a bit weaker; you need to take good care of yourself.
You’ve been taking cold showers and eating ice cream, which naturally can cause problems.
Of course, if it was just for that reason, it shouldn’t have been enough to cause you this much pain.
I checked you earlier, and your digestive system isn’t very good, to be precise, it seems to be a kind of common irritable bowel disease, but it’s not a big problem.
As long as you don’t irritate it, it typically doesn’t cause any issues.
This little ailnt is probably related to your irregular eating habits in the past.”
Liu Shanshan nodded sowhat shyly, “When I was in university, I had part-ti jobs and worked as a tutor, so I often couldn’t eat on ti.”
“That’s it, but it’s not a big deal.
I’ll help you sort it out later, and as long as you can be a little careful in the future, there should be no problem.
Your body is quite healthy,” Tangyu said.
“Oh,” Liu Shanshan nodded, then suddenly added, “I’m sorry, Tangyu, for calling you out so late.
I was going to call 120, but it didn’t seem right.
I don’t know why, but I just dialed your number, I—” She stopped, her face flushing with shades of red.
Tangyu smiled and said, “What’s there to be embarrassed about?
If you have any problems, no matter how late, just give a call.”
“Thank you,” Liu Shanshan bead with a smile.
“By the way, Tangyu, how did you get here so quickly?
It seed like just a few minutes?” Liu Shanshan suddenly asked.
“It’s quite a coincidence.
Sister Xin got drunk and called to pick her up.
I had just taken Sister Xin ho and was about to head back when I got your call, so I rushed over here quickly.
Fortunately, I was nearby, otherwise you would have had to suffer a lot more,” said Tangyu.
Liu Shanshan nodded, rembering how it had felt as if she was dying from the pain, that she had even harbored thoughts of death.
Describing it as agony was hardly an exaggeration.
Liu Shanshan looked at Tangyu and felt an inexplicable surge of emotion, her eyes shimring as she said, “Tangyu, you are so kind.”
“Ahem, why does that sound so cheesy?
Liu Shanshan, you’re quite nice too,” Tangyu replied.
Could it be that Liu Shanshan had fallen in love with him all of a sudden?
Fortune seed too swift to block.
But Tangyu didn’t see it that way.
If Liu Shanshan fancied him and wanted sothing to happen between them, Tangyu would naturally be willing.
However, he had his own beliefs about love.
It had to be consensual.
If it was just a spur-of-the-mont thing driven by emotion, Tangyu would feel it wasn’t genuine, and he disliked that.
A man may love beauty, but there should be principles in pursuing it.
There was nothing wrong with taking a little advantage, but when it ca to matters of the sexes, one should not be frivolous.
Tangyu was well aware that given Liu Shanshan’s current state, if he really wanted sothing to happen with her, she probably wouldn’t refuse.
She might even be pushed into it half willingly.
But that wasn’t what Tangyu wanted.
Both maintained their silence, eyeing each other, creating an atmosphere thick with awkwardness.
At this mont, Liu Shanshan’s mind was in utter chaos, her thoughts tangled together, almost to the point where it felt like her head was going to explode.
She didn’t know what she was thinking, nor did she understand her feelings toward Tangyu.
Was this feeling moved, or was it liking?
If it was liking, had it co too quickly?
And if it was rely being moved, why did it feel sowhat different?
Especially looking into Tangyu’s eyes from such a close distance, it gave her an urge to look away, yet she couldn’t divert her gaze.
Very bizarre, and very subtle.
What exactly did it feel like to love soone?
Liu Shanshan was fuzzy on that concept and couldn’t articulate it.
Maybe she once knew, but at this mont, all was a jumble without reason.
Especially under such an atmosphere, it evoked so inexplicable impulses.
Complicated, struggling, and confused for a while, Liu Shanshan simply closed her eyes, as if leaving the next move up to Tangyu to decide.
When a woman closed her eyes, it signified a tacit consent.
Tangyu too felt a surge of heat rush inside him, like a volcanic eruption, making his blood boil in an instant.
He had already been enduring discomfort today, and now faced with such temptation, it was natural for him to let loose the floodgates of desire, wanting to release it all.
He knew Liu Shanshan was permitting him in her silence, but from her hesitant, flickering glances earlier and her tightly clasped hands now, Tangyu knew she wasn’t offering everything because of love for him.
To Tangyu, this undoubtedly felt a bit like taking advantage of soone.
Shaking his head, he put aside the impulsive thoughts and stood up, saying, “Liu Shanshan, go take a shower, you’re all sweaty.”
Liu Shanshan’s mind jolted, and she slowly opened her eyes, sowhat stunned as she looked at Tangyu.
She had thought she was going to give her virginity, preserved for over twenty years, to Tangyu today, yet he had made no move on her.
Was her allure not enough?
That obviously wasn’t the case, as she could see that Tangyu was indeed moved by her but had forcefully restrained himself from laying a hand on her.
That he could still control himself under such circumstances was truly surprising to Liu Shanshan.
Her view of Tangyu thus gained a few more layers.
She felt an increased fondness for Tangyu, a deepened admiration.
“Don’t zone out, go ahead,” Tangyu said.
Only then did Liu Shanshan nod, get up, grab so clothes, and rush into the bathroom.
Her shower was quick, and she erged after only half an hour, looking as stunning as a lotus flower rising from the water.
After a half-hour of cooling down, Tangyu too had regained his composure, but still made an effort not to look at Liu Shanshan’s body.
“Tangyu, it’s so late now, and it might be hard to get a taxi.
How about you stay here tonight?” Liu Shanshan suddenly said.
“What?” Tangyu’s eyes widened as he looked at Liu Shanshan.
Realizing how her words might be misconstrued, Liu Shanshan quickly explained, “You’re thinking wrongly, I’m not asking you to sleep with .
You can sleep on the sofa, and I’ll take the bed, how about that?”
Tangyu curled his lip and said, “And here I thought you were going to say I could sleep on the bed.”
Liu Shanshan replied, “If you’re on the bed, where would I sleep?
I’m really picky about my bed.
You don’t want to make sleep on the sofa, do you?”
“That’s not it.
Your bed is big enough for two people anyway.
You sleep on the left and I’ll sleep on the right—wouldn’t that be nice?” Tangyu said with a smile.
Liu Shanshan knew Tangyu was joking and simply smiled, saying, “Fine then, co on.”
“Ahem, alright, I’ll sleep on the sofa.
Then thank you for letting stay the night,” Tangyu got up and moved toward the living room.
Pfft—
Liu Shanshan burst into laughter and said, “You stayed because of , I’d feel ashad to make you sleep on the sofa, but my place is too small, so I’m really sorry to trouble you for the night.
Close your eyes, I have sothing to give you.”
Tangyu looked at Liu Shanshan and with a hidden smile guessed what it might be, closing his eyes.
Seeing that Tangyu had closed his eyes, Liu Shanshan quickly planted a kiss on his face.
“You’re ambushing , huh, leading the wolf into the house.
Be careful—I might not be able to resist doing bad things to you,” Tangyu said with a mischievous laugh.
Liu Shanshan, blushing, ran into her room, turned back to make a face at Tangyu and said, “You better not sneak into my room tonight.
I’ve locked it.
Goodnight,” and then she closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, Tangyu smiled, touched his nose, and thought, it’s just a simple lock—how could it keep him out if he decided to enter?
