Chapter 57: Outbreak

Li Jiaci really couldn't control himself this time, he directly roared out.

If it were his previous life, he would have already killed this woman.

But times are different now; he still has things to do, and he still wants to bring his brothers to live good lives.

He also will never let his life be ruined again by this trashy woman.

Next.

Li Jiaci didn't even look at Li Qinglan, he directly reached out and grabbed Wang Yingna's wrist, and together they walked into the room.

Gazing at the tightly closed door ahead.

Li Qinglan tightly bit her lips, her eyes mixed with sadness, grievance, resentment, anger and several other shades.

And finally, all the colors in her eyes turned into venomous spite.

"Li Jiaci..."

"You wait for me..."

"I will definitely make you regret..."

Li Qinglan wiped her tears and then walked downstairs.

Perhaps she had too much on her mind.

She didn't notice what was ahead at all; having just come out of the hallway, she bumped straight into someone.

"You..."

Li Qinglan opened her mouth to curse.

But the person opposite spoke first, shouting: "Sister-in-law?"

"A Lan?"

Li Qinglan stared, then reacted: "How are you here?"

"I was hungry, so I came down to buy something to eat."

Wang Lan lifted the bag in his hand, then asked: "How did you come? Are you here to find the eldest brother?"

Li Qinglan pursed her lips and said nothing.

Because he is the youngest among the brothers.

Before, Li Jiaci often gave him pocket money through Li Qinglan.

So, Wang Lan still has a good impression of this sister-in-law, and he doesn't understand why his eldest brother suddenly broke up with her.

Seeing Li Qinglan's expression, Wang Lan glanced at the room where his eldest brother lived, then asked: "Did you see the eldest brother?"

Li Qinglan narrowed her eyes, then followed Wang Lan's gaze and glanced, speaking in a dim tone: "Whether I saw him or not, what's the point? He already has someone else with him."

"You mean Wang Yingna?"

"Eh! She just has something she wants the eldest brother to help with."

Wang Lan chuckled and said: "Once her matter is settled, she should leave."

"Ah?"

Li Qinglan startled, a flash of bright light flickered in her eyes, but quickly returned to plain.

"So that's how it is."

"Yes."

"Moreover, she's only been here a few days."

Wang Lan said: "The eldest brother specially instructed us not to talk nonsense with outsiders."

"Oh..."

Li Qinglan drew out an "oh" with deep meaning, then leaned close to Wang Lan and asked: "So what exactly is she asking the eldest brother to help with?"

"This..."

Wang Lan scratched his head: "I'm not sure either; it seems to be some kind of illness, and apparently only the eldest brother can treat it."

"Treat illness?"

Li Qinglan raised her eyebrows: "Does your eldest brother also treat people's illnesses?"

"I'm not sure about that either."

Wang Lan said: "The eldest brother never told us, and we never asked him."

Li Qinglan gave him a deep look.

Seeing he didn't seem to be lying, she then gradually withdrew her gaze.

"Well then."

"Sister-in-law, I have things to do, so I'll go first."

Li Qinglan reached out and patted Wang Lan's head, saying: "If you ever need help, just come find me, sister-in-law, and let's go upstairs to eat."

"Hmm."

"Sister-in-law, goodbye!"

Wang Lan politely bade farewell to Li Qinglan, then went upstairs.

Li Qinglan stood downstairs, staring straight at Wang Lan's back, a strange smile forming on her face.

……

That night.

Li Jiaci lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Whenever he closed his eyes, he would see the scene of his previous life's brothers leaving one after another.

Since his rebirth, this had never happened before, but now it appeared again, making Li Jiaci feel vexed.

Finally, he simply gave up struggling, got straight up from bed, and went to the side ventilation window to smoke.

The dense smoke flowed into his lungs via mouth and throat, the icy wind hammered his face, and only then did it drag him out of those painful memories.

Li Jiaci couldn't help but let out a quiet sigh.

I really don't know when these painful memories will finally vanish from his mind completely.

"Li Jiaci!"

Just as Li Jiaci was lost in thought,

Wang Yingna suddenly poked her head out from behind the curtain.

Li Jiaci snapped back, turned his head to her, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The, the house is really cold."

Wang Yingna's face was pale, her voice trembling as she said, "Do you still have any blankets at home?"

Seeing her like that,

Li Jiaci then knew that this guy was about to enter the most unbearable stage.

"Yes!"

Li Jiaci casually pulled the blanket from his own bed and threw it to Wang Yingna.

"Tha, thank you……"

Wang Yingna wrapped the blanket around herself, her voice trembling as she replied.

Li Jiaci pressed his lips and said, "If you feel you've reached your limit, just take the medicine."

"I won't……"

Wang Yingna shivered as she said, "Anyway, as long as you're here, even if I can't endure it, you'll save me."

"……"

Li Jiaci was somewhat speechless.

"Even if I could save you."

"I also need to be able to find you first."

Li Jiaci pointed outside the window and said, "It's the middle of the night; I still need to sleep."

"I, I don't care……"

Wang Yingna said, "If you don't save me, I'll die beside you, and then you'll have to wait for my brother to come cause you trouble."

"You……"

Li Jiaci pondered for a moment and could only say, "You're awesome."

"And finally."

He also really didn't sleep.

He just kept sitting by the bedside, watching Wang Yingna's condition.

In the first half of the night, Wang Yingna, just as she had promised herself, was presumably relying on her own willpower to persist.

But as her body's movements grew larger, her consciousness began to become confused.

"Pain, cold……"

"I, I hurt, I hurt so much, so cold……"

Wang Yingna curled up in the blanket, muttering nonstop, "I, I don't want to quit anymore, it's too, too painful……"

Seeing her like that,

Li Jiaci let out a quiet sigh, then went to her side and pulled her out of the blanket.

Wang Yingna grabbed Li Jiaci's arm in one grip, her voice trembling as she pleaded, "Please, please help me find some……"

"Sure."

Li Jiaci curled the corner of his mouth and said, "As long as you behave, I'll help you find them."

"Okay, okay, I, I'm good, I'm good."

Wang Yingna nodded earnestly, over and over.

Li Jiaci casually pulled the bedsheet from his own bed, tore it straight into several pieces, and then used the sheets to bind Wang Yingna's hands and feet.

Wang Yingna was just like a puppet, not struggling, letting him do as he pleased.

Until she saw Li Jiaci stand up.

Only then did she ask Li Jiaci, "You, you can now go help me find them, right?"

"Sure."

Li Jiaci agreed readily, then fetched a neatly folded towel and handed it to Wang Yingna's mouth: "Bite on it!"
