Chapter 333: Former Rivals Become Best Friends
"I'm just setting my sights on your daughter, what can you do to me? Anyway, in your heart, I'm already a villain who loves to poach, so I'll just keep poaching. If I don't, I'd be letting you down."
Sheng Hanyu was surprised to discover, how did these two women suddenly become as close as best friends?
Although they kept bickering, there was no hatred in their eyes, just simple, playful arguing.
He didn't understand a woman's mind, but he knew that getting involved between two women was never a good thing; of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is best, to avoid getting burned.
"I'm full, I'll come back tomorrow." Sheng Hanyu put down his bowl and chopsticks, ready to leave, completely disregarding that he was wearing pajamas.
"Don't you go, I'll go."
Jian Yixin prepared to leave, to give some space to these two.
"Let him go, you don't go." Shi Youxuan grabbed Jian Yixin: "Aren't we going to the jewelry building to look at jewelry today? I'll go with you."
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a bit afraid of being alone with Sheng Hanyu. She couldn't say what she was afraid of, but just thinking about being a lone man and woman together made her heart race like a startled deer.
"For you, I can postpone it until tomorrow." Jian Yixin brushed her hand away and walked off with a beaming smile.
……
Whatever she feared came to pass; it was still just the two of them left alone.
Fortunately, Shi Ran woke up and was very happy to see Sheng Hanyu.
"Uncle, when did you come back? Does your wound still hurt? I'll blow on it for you." The little one puffed out her cheeks and blew twice at Sheng Hanyu.
So he covered his chest with his hand: "Much better, thank you, Ranran."
Just blowing on it like that made it much better?
He could fool a child, but while he could fool Shi Ran, he couldn't fool Shi Youxuan.
Shi Youxuan commanded: "Undo your clothes, let me see."
He had been soaked through just a moment ago; if the wound hadn't healed, it would be very easy to get an infection.
Sheng Hanyu hesitated: "That wouldn't be good... men and women should not touch, and besides, I'm not anyone to you right now. It's not good, I think it's very not good."
……
Now he knows it's not good?
Why didn't he say it wasn't good when he forcibly kissed her in the United States?
When he was pestering her, thick-skinned, and insisting on staying at her house without leaving, why didn't he talk about men and women not touching?
Shi Youxuan wasn't so easily fooled. She sank her face: "Less nonsense. If you don't let me see, that's fine, leave my house immediately and don't come again."
Sheng Hanyu didn't want her to see because he was afraid she would worry.
Leaving immediately was fine, but it had to be a temporary departure; not being allowed to come back later wouldn't do.
"Fine, I'll let you see..."
Sheng Hanyu said to the child: "Ranran, be good, go to the room and watch cartoons."
"I want to watch too."
Shi Youxuan rudely interrupted the child: "What are you watching? Go back to your room."
Although the little one wasn't very willing, she was still afraid of her mother and didn't dare disobey her mother's words, so she obediently went back to her room.
"Take off your clothes," Shi Youxuan commanded.
Sheng Hanyu: "Can't you be a bit more tactful?" Although he said that, he hesitated and refused to undo his clothes, as if he were very afraid of her seeing.
Shi Youxuan: ……
So she simply stopped talking and went straight for it; the more he feared it, the more she wanted to see.
"Hiss—"
Shi Youxuan gasped.
"How did you get these?"
There were dozens of scars of all sizes on Sheng Hanyu's body, mostly old ones, yet they still looked shocking.
Some were even overlapping, on both his chest and back. Was this man fighting life-and-death battles with people?
It really was.
"It's nothing, they were all from being careless in the past..." He tried to downplay it as much as possible, fearing Shi Youxuan would worry.
But the scars were right before her eyes, clearly visible; it wasn't easy to cover them up.
"Careless? Do you think I'm stupid? You have nothing better to do than go bump into knives? Is your skin itching?" Shi Youxuan still had a sharp tongue, but tears were falling uncontrollably.
So Jian Yixin hadn't been exaggerating.
So everything she said was true.
So Sheng Hanyu really had been torturing himself like this for her sake; he was living his days as if enduring a slow execution!
And Shi Youxuan had been completely unaware of all this.
"Don't cry, I don't think you're stupid, you're not stupid at all..." Sheng Hanyu didn't know how to comfort her as she cried.
So he clumsily used his large hand to wipe away her tears.
His other hand didn't forget to pull his clothes shut.
"Undo it, let me see if the wound is inflamed." She composed herself and took gauze, iodophor, and absorbent cotton balls out of the medical kit.
The gauze on his chest was already dirty; he must not have changed the dressing for several days.
He didn't undo it, and subconsciously pulled his clothes tighter: "No need, I'll just go to the hospital to change it."
"That's fine, I'll go with you."
"You don't need to accompany me, you stay home and keep the child company. I'll come back after I change the dressing."
Shi Youxuan: "Once you've changed it, don't come back; just go straight home to your own place to rest."
Sheng Hanyu: ……
In the end, he compromised and let Shi Youxuan accompany him to the hospital to change the dressing.
It wouldn't do to leave Shi Ran home alone, so Jian Yixin had just arrived home when she was called back by a phone call.
Sheng Zerong came with her, but the moment Sheng Hanyu saw his third younger brother, his eyes suddenly "went bad."
He winked and made eyes at Sheng Zerong.
However, he only made things worse.
Sheng Zerong: "Big Brother, what's wrong with your eyes? Did you get hurt by the fire?"
If Shi Youxuan weren't still there, Sheng Hanyu would have really wanted to kick him out.
"Fire? Where was there a fire?" Shi Youxuan spotted the loophole in his words.
Sheng Hanyu didn't say, but Jian Yixin reminded her: "Look online, it's the headline on the entertainment page."
Now it couldn't be hidden anymore.
Shi Youxuan went online to look, and good heavens, the internet was about to explode, yet she was only just finding out.
On the plane that Sheng Hanyu and the others were on, there was a popular celebrity, and a crazy fan had actually chased them all the way to the tarmac to pursue the star.
Chasing them wouldn't have been a problem, but a brainless person had actually stood on the runway with arms outstretched as if trying to stop a car, self-intoxicated, thinking that if they could stop the plane, they would be a hero.
When the brainless fan rushed over, the plane was already preparing to land.
The control tower gave the pilot an emergency order to land early.
The plane eventually landed safely, but because it was an emergency landing, the wing suddenly burst into a raging fire.
Fire trucks rushed over to spray water and dry ice onto the plane...
Shi Youxuan finally understood why he was covered in water.
An infected wound was no small matter, and now was not the time for complaints; she pulled Sheng Hanyu out to go to the hospital, leaving the child to be accompanied by that unmarried young couple.
Shi Youxuan drove the whole way, with Sheng Hanyu sitting in the passenger seat.
"Xuanxuan..."
"Hmm?"
He still called her "Xuanxuan" affectionately, but this time she didn't object, and Sheng Hanyu was secretly delighted.
"I want to have Ranran acknowledge me, do you think it's okay..."
"No."
Sheng Hanyu was rejected, and rejected without a moment's hesitation.
"Fine, if you don't agree, then forget it; I'll listen to you." Sheng Hanyu was very easygoing and agreed; he hadn't expected Shi Youxuan to agree right away anyway, he just wanted to bring it up while she wasn't too angry to leave an impression.
Then, whenever she was in a good mood, he would bring it up to air it out; if he mentioned it enough times, it would naturally come to fruition.
Sheng Hanyu then brought up another matter: "When you weren't in the country, I was afraid Ranran would get upset missing you, so I promised that when you came back, the three of us would go to Disney to play... It's not good to break a promise to a child, please agree."
Shi Youxuan considered it for a moment, then said: "Fine."
"Great, I'll book the tickets."
Sheng Hanyu's "conspiracy" had succeeded, and he was incredibly pleased with himself.
To ensure Shi Youxuan wouldn't have a chance to go back on her word, he immediately used his phone to book three tickets to Disney online, leaving tomorrow!
