Chapter 139: Seafood Allergy

~8 min read 1,588 words

It starts with itching all over; this is the first stage. If one takes anti-allergy medicine at this time, it can be stopped very quickly.

But he did not; he just didn't want to affect Shi Youxuan's sleep, and he endured the stage of thousands of ants crawling on his body.

After enduring the unbearable itching, his whole body immediately began to swell and became burning hot...

Keeping his eyes open until nearly dawn, Shi Youxuan finally turned over and "let him off."

He leaped up, rushed silently and quickly to the bathroom, and turned on the light to look—it was a ghastly sight.

His face was swollen, and one after another, dense red spots had broken out.

This face wouldn't be better for two or three days. Sheng Hanyu smiled bitterly at the mirror, wondering if that little woman would be startled when she woke up?

"Heavens! Sheng Hanyu, what happened to your face?"

After daybreak, Shi Youxuan woke up, saw Sheng Hanyu, and was indeed startled.

But she quickly reacted: "It's an allergy, Sheng Hanyu, you're allergic to seafood... I'll go buy medicine." Still wearing her pajamas, she was about to run out.

Sheng Hanyu grabbed her: "No need to go, I've already taken medicine."

Shi Youxuan's tears were almost falling out of heartache; tears welled up in her eyes and swirled around, and her fingers gently stroked his face: "Does it hurt? It's all my fault; if it weren't for me, your face wouldn't have become like this..."

No, she suddenly pulled open his lapels.

Sheng Hanyu wanted to stop her, but it was too late; her hands were too fast, and there was simply no time to prevent it.

The skin on his body was also covered in dense red rashes, even more than on his face. Shi Youxuan began to cry, and large tears fell down.

She stubbornly insisted that he must go see a doctor.

"Really, no need to go; it's just a common allergy, it'll be better in a day or two," Sheng Hanyu comforted her.

Sheng Hanyu did not tell anyone about his seafood allergy, but the news leaked out anyway.

Yun Zhe Hao and Sheng Zerong brought gifts to watch the fun... no, to visit the patient!

"Oh my! Your face is swollen like a pig's head. Big Young Master Sheng, shall we go out for a walk?" Yun Zhe Hao was blatantly gloating, but he was mostly curious.

"You were allergic to seafood before, but it was never this serious. What happened this time? How much seafood did you eat?"

"Get lost. You're just here for the spectacle. Now that you've seen enough, hurry up and leave."

Concise and to the point, this already expressed all of Sheng Hanyu's thoughts.

Leave the gifts, the people can go back; go back and do whatever they need to do, don't stay here and be an eyesore.

Although his body suffered a bit, he felt very comfortable in his heart this morning.

Because of guilt, Shi Youxuan kept hovering around him, asking after his well-being, serving tea and water, and showing the utmost concern.

Shi Youxuan had never been this "obedient" before. He enjoyed it, but he had only been enjoying it for a short while when he was met with two "uninvited guests."

The two sat for a while and then left. Before leaving, Sheng Zerong told Shi Youxuan some unpleasant news: "Jian Yining is going abroad. He says this trip abroad is to settle down, and he won't be coming back unless something major happens."

Shi Youxuan didn't believe it. If Jian Yining was going to leave, why wouldn't he say goodbye to her?

She called him, and he answered quickly on the other end, admitting: "That's right, tomorrow's flight... Don't worry, I've already hired a professional manager in the country, you don't need to worry about company matters."

Shi Youxuan was not good at handling the specific affairs of the company; Jian Yining had thought of every possible problem and arranged everything clearly.

He even used a joking tone to tell Shi Youxuan that if the person he hired had any problems, she should just use Sheng Hanyu; since he was a ready-made person, she might as well use him.

Shi Youxuan agreed to everything, but she felt very upset inside.

Ever since she met Jian Yining on a forum at fifteen, the two of them had been able to talk about anything for so many years.

Now that he was going to settle abroad, he hadn't even told her about such a big matter.

Sheng Hanyu saw that Shi Youxuan was in a bad mood and took the initiative to suggest: "You should go to the airport to see him off tomorrow."

She thought so too, but she was worried about leaving Sheng Hanyu alone at home, so she asked him: "Are you going?"

He pointed to his face: "I won't go. If I go see A Ning looking like this, he will mock me mercilessly, and I won't give him that chance." In fact, this was just an excuse.

Sheng Hanyu knew that Jian Yining liked Shi Youxuan, and it would be inevitable for true feelings to be revealed during tomorrow's farewell.

Saying a few words of affection or giving a hug would be normal, and his presence would make Jian Yining uncomfortable, so it was better not to go!

The next morning.

Jiangzhou International Airport.

Shi Youxuan, Yun Zhe Hao, and Sheng Zerong all came to see Jian Yining off.

Jian Yining was in sportswear, with a very large hiking backpack on his back, a wide-brimmed cowboy hat on his head, and a pair of Gucci sunglasses coolly perched on the bridge of his nose.

He didn't look like he was going abroad to settle down, but rather like a mountaineer preparing for an adventure!

The three of them didn't recognize him when they first arrived at the airport; it was Jian Yining who greeted them: "Yingzi, I'm over here!"

Shi Youxuan ran over, looked him up and down for a long while, and concluded: "A Ning, this outfit doesn't suit you."

Jian Yining laughed. Although his tone was relaxed, his smile was a bit bitter: "I'm starting over, aren't I? So I'm changing my outfit to change my mood."

"Yingzi, thank you for coming to see me off."

The other two didn't crowd forward, leaving them space to talk freely.

Shi Youxuan pouted: "Jian Yining, you don't keep your word. You said you would never leave again after returning to the country, why are you leaving again?" After saying this, her eyes filled with tears, which could fall if she just blinked.

She was truly heartbroken; Jian Yining was her only good friend.

Back then, she was naive and reckless when she broke into the investment world; if she hadn't met Jian Yining, she wouldn't have been able to achieve what she had today.

Shi Youxuan was only fifteen at the time, and besides knowing how to make money, she didn't understand anything else!

This was both a strength and a weakness.

It was only by meeting Jian Yining that the two of them could have today's results.

If the person she met back then hadn't been Jian Yining, but someone else with ulterior motives who used her and then kicked her away, Shi Youxuan would have had no way to deal with it.

Back then, Jian Yining had lost his sister and was in the most painful period; it was Shi Youxuan's appearance that gave him new hope and helped him get out of the pain as quickly as possible.

Shi Youxuan is an investment genius, Jian Yining is a management expert, and Pegasus was co-founded by the two of them; neither can be missing.

The two of them have shared hardships, and the bond between them has long surpassed that of ordinary business partners, going even deeper than friends!

Yet it is limited to just that.

It is not just Shi Youxuan who is sad; Jian Yining is even sadder inside.

But he does not want to leave sadness for the other person at the moment of parting; he wants to make Yingzi happy and blissful, and wants to see the way she smiles.

"What are you doing? It's not like I'm never coming back after going abroad; we can still keep in touch via QQ, just like before." He took out a tissue to help her wipe her tears.

Although Yingzi is rumored to be very formidable outside, Jian Yining knows she has the mindset of a little girl—she laughs when happy and cries when sad.

That she can remain pure and kind after suffering so much hurt is the most precious thing, and also the thing he likes most about Yingzi.

It is just a pity that his liking can only stop at liking!

"Mm, I won't cry..."

She said she wouldn't cry, but she was still sobbing.

At this moment, the airport broadcast sounded, urging Jian Yining to go through security and prepare for boarding.

Jian Yining opened his arms and said to Shi Youxuan, "Goodbye, Yingzi."

Shi Youxuan hugged him, and Yun Zhe Hao and Sheng Zerong also came over to hug and say goodbye one by one.

Jian Yining finally whispered to Sheng Zerong, "If she is wronged, please tell me immediately; I'm counting on you."

"No problem."

Sheng Zerong never imagined that he was just agreeing offhandedly, but later, his words would become a self-fulfilling prophecy!
