16 Chapter 16: Am I Sick?
Translator: 549690339
âAh!â
In the early morning, accompanied by a scream, Xiao Qian woke up from her dream.
She unhurriedly opened her wardrobe, and while listening to Chu Xueâs loud crying downstairs, she began to choose clothes.
This wardrobe was pitifully empty.
There were only a few plain clothes with simple designs.
She casually picked a white dress, neatly pulled her hair up, and then remembered she was no longer a capable doctor. She let her hair down and combed it into a ponytail.
Without dark circles under her eyes, she looked energetic and radiant even without makeup.
After tidying up, she opened the window, which faced the backyard of her house.
Chu Xue and Chen Lin were standing face to face, with Chu Xue crying loudly.
âWoo woo woo, brother-in-law, do I have a terminal disease?â
âWhatâs the matter?â Chen Linâs tone was also unpleasant.
His daughter-in-law didnât come home all night. He lost quite a bit playing mahjong until late, and after returning, he was troubled by Chu Xue. Before he could figure out what was going on, she started crying loudly, making him feel annoyed and confused.
âToday⦠my urine is red!â
Xiao Qian leaned on the window, silently watching the scene, and pushed up her glasses.
Oh, Chu Xue does have good luck. Such a low-probability event happened to her; itâs even more satisfying than having diarrhea.
âHow could this happen?â Chen Lin was already impatient.
âCould it be that my kidneys are sick⦠brother-in-law, would you accompany me to the hospital for a check-up?â
âNo time for that. I still need to go pick up Xiufang.â Who knows what gossip that woman might be spreading about him at her motherâs house.
Ah, the love between husband and wife. Xiao Qian covered her teeth, feeling a little sour.
Not sure which neighbor it was, but they turned on their TV really loud in the morning, and the opening theme of the hit TV series âYoung Bao Qingtianâ resounded loudly. It was quite fitting.
âAbove my head is a clear sky, in my heart is a conviction. I am not ignorant, I simply donât fear challenges. Seeking clarity in everything is my nature.â
Fearing people might see, Chu Xue and Chen Lin separated, while Xiao Qian quietly hummed along.
âAs long as the truth is revealed, I have nothing to be ashamed of.â
Chen Lin went to pick up Jia Xiufang, and Xiao Qian sneaked into their bedroom again, rummaging out the familyâs camera before going downstairs.
Seeing Xiao Qian coming downstairs, Chu Xue put down her mirror.
âQianâer, youâre awake.â
âHmm, your mourning voice is so loud; itâs hard not to wake up.â
A cold look appeared in Chu Xueâs eyes. This damned girl.
âNow that youâre about to get married, things are really different. Itâs a pity that once you marry away, youâre like water thrown away. Qianâer, you can act this way at home and snap at me, but at your mother-in-lawâs place, tsk tsk.â
The facade of pretense was torn off, and her words became barbed.
Xiao Qian ignored her provocation, walked directly to the counter, and pulled Chu Xue aside. She opened the drawer and grabbed a handful of change.
âHey! What are you doing? Iâll tell your dad if you do this!â Chu Xue tried to snatch the money, but Xiao Qian kicked it into her pocket and glanced at her.
âHavenât you had enough of your clothes being torn?â
These words brought all of Chu Xueâs painful memories from last night to the surface.
People, as long as they have some trauma in their hearts, can be easily deterred by a little provocation. Xiao Qianâs tearing clothes and burning table yesterday had scared the whole family.
âBy the way, I heard that red urine is a sign of a urinary tract infection, which is mild compared to glomerulonephritis, kidney stones, or bladder tumors⦠Tsk, your stomach seems a bit protruding; is that from a tumor?â
Successfully deceiving Chu Xue and scaring her pale, Xiao Qian walked out of the house nonchalantly.
Well, she estimated that Chu Xue would be mulling over this matter all day. What goes around, comes around.
With money in her pocket, she found a breakfast shop, ordered a bowl of fragrant wonton, and filled herself up so sheâd have the energy to settle accounts.
After breakfast, she went to the post office, bringing her university admission notice. The school would hand over the admission notices to the post office after the college entrance exam. The students would then extract their files with the admission notice and mail their files directly to the admitted school through the post office.
All this was not part of her past life.
If she couldnât retrieve her files, the post office would return the files to the school after the given date. In her previous life, when she repeated a grade, her files had already been transferred back to the school. Ni Jianrenâs family had done everything they could to prevent her from retrieving her files, almost forcing her to repeat school and causing the school to reject her.
Fortunately, she had help from the mysterious benefactor. When she wrote a letter saying she wanted to give up, the person asked what had happened. In the end, they replied with four words: âRest assured and go for the exam.â
And then everything was settled.
Speaking of which, that person was a true noble in her past life.
Although they had met once, Xiao Qian couldnât remember what he looked like. She was too heartbroken at the time, wanting to jump into the river. The man held her back and listened to her story of what happened. She was too sad and cried constantly, her eyes blurry from tears, forgetting what her rescuer looked like.
But she remembered his handwriting, which was very beautiful, and the name he used for remittance, which she also secretly kept in mind. But when she finally had the ability to repay him, he vanished, and his name didnât match his person; he had used someone elseâs name for the remittance.
If he didnât want to see her, she couldnât find him and didnât know where to start repaying him.
When she needed help the most, he saved her life, gave her money, and helped her confront Ni Jianrenâs family. He quietly withdrew when she had become independent, perhaps not wanting her to repay him. He was a good person.
After mailing her files, Xiao Qian stood at the entrance of the post office, thinking. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It would be a few months before she met her kind-hearted benefactor in her past life. She would always remember that day. When the time came, she would go back to the river pretending to jump in again, hoping to bring her rescuer out. In this life, she would take the opportunity to repay the kindness she didnât have a chance to repay in her past life.
She was a vengeful person, but she couldnât forget those who had been kind to her. Without that person, there would have been no Boss Xiao from her past life.
After getting all this done, Xiao Qian went to the high school she had attended. She greeted the security guard at the gate, saying that her homeroom teacher had asked for her, and entered the school honorably.
It was summer vacation now, and the campus was empty. The dormitory for teachers was located behind the teaching building.
In the empty campus, a small whirlwind blew across the ground. When they were students, her classmates often joked that the school used to be a graveyard, and then it was transformed into a school. Thatâs why there were often these mysterious little winds.
Xiao Qian didnât believe in ghosts, but she was reborn. Now, when she looked at these little winds, she wasnât afraid at all.
Whether they were ghosts or gods, could they be worse than a person with a rotten heart?
For example, her father who hid her admission notice, and her high school homeroom teacher who cooperated with her father. These people were completely rotten.
Her grudges with her homeroom teacher went beyond just cooperating with her father in saying she had failed. Now, she was going to settle the score.
