Chapter 2724: He Probably Thinks I Poisoned the Soup

“No. He just drank a little soup. He even vomited all up. He probably thinks I poisoned the soup.”

Mother Ai looked a little pale. “Don’t go to see him anymore. He’s crazy. What if he hurts you?”

Ning Shu nodded in assent, but she knew she’d still be going to see him again.

Cheng Fei had to be dealt with.

Cheng Fei didn’t trust her. He ate the food she made but vomited it out later.

She was really speechless.

Since Cheng Fei vomited all over the room and made a huge mess, the nurse wouldn’t let Ning Shu bring any more things since she was annoyed by the mess.

Cheng Fei really knew how to play people.

Sometime after that visit, Ning Shu started to work as an academic advisor at the university. As an advisor, she basically had to handle everything including the students’ studies, mental health, and life overall.

She served the students in all aspects of their student life.

Ning Shu was still a little overwhelmed at the beginning. However, after a few days, she’d learned the ropes and wasn’t as flustered as she was before.

The students began to come to her for any trouble and headaches they had.

To be an advisor, a person must also be outstanding in a certain field. Professor Ai had reported that Ning Shu was outstanding in foreign languages.

Fortunately, Ning Shu knew some foreign languages.

She would’ve ended up exposed otherwise.

Ai Yun, the original host, had been fluent in several foreign languages.

The days were pretty fulfilling. Sometimes, one worked not only for survival but also so one could realize their self-worth.

On the weekend, Ning Shu went to the mental asylum again.

Her bank account suffered another hit.

This time, the nurse didn’t take Ning Shu to Cheng Fei’s room, but to the yard.

Cheng Fei was sitting on a bench there. His eyes were slightly closed. There were lunatics running and laughing all around him.

Cheng Fei turned a deaf ear to them.

Ning Shu walked over and stood in front of Cheng Fei, blocking his sunlight.

Cheng Fei’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes. Ning Shu was standing with her back against the sun, so it was difficult for him to see Ning Shu’s face.

“You’re here.” Cheng Fei scooted away and made room for Ning Shu to sit next to him.

“How’s it going?” Ning Shu asked.

“How do you think it’s going in a mental asylum?” Cheng Fei asked back.

“In any case, you’re definitely not suffering like an actual insane person.”

Cheng Fei smiled. The sunlight hit his face and gave his face a golden hue.

Ning Shu stared at Cheng Fei’s hair and said, “Let’s continue pulling out your white hair.”

Cheng Fei shook his head. “I don’t want to.”

“Come on. Don’t be stubborn, alright?” Ning Shu stretched out her hands towards Cheng Fei’s hair, then yanked it.

Cheng Fei hissed. “It hurts.”

“No worries, there’s plenty more to come.” Ning Shu yanked hard and Cheng Fei gave a muffled groan.

Ning Shu blew at the white hair on her hand. “Looks like you’re aging much quicker than I am. Why don’t you fossilize yourself first?”

“I don’t care about my beauty. As long as you’re more beautiful than me,” Cheng Fei calmly said.

“Haha, you’re too polite. You’re so much more handsome than me, so if someone’s gotta die, it should be you first.” Ning Shu pulled Cheng Fei’s hair again.

“Are you prematurely aging?”

Cheng Fei smiled. “It doesn’t matter. Everyone goes through this anyway.

“Do you want to hear about my past?” Cheng Fei stared at Ning Shu.

Cheng Fei had lost weight and grew some stubble. He looked like he’d gone through a lot.

“I don’t. No need, not interested,” she said.

Cheng Fei was a little surprised. “Weren’t you really interested in my past?”

“Not anymore, so no need to tell me about it.” Ning Shu pulled out another white hair from Cheng Fei’s head.
