Xu Qingzhu could never win an argument with her, so she felt embarrassed and slapped Xu Qingya's arm, saying, "You talk too much. Go to sleep. Watching horror movies in the middle of the night, who else would be scared if not you? Stop talking nonsense to me."
Xu Qingya clutched her arm, glaring at Xu Qingzhu with displeasure. She shoved the bottle of wine into Xu Qingzhu's hand, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "You're so mean. You're clearly doing something improper, and you won't let me say anything..."
"Do you even know what shyness is?" Xu Qingzhu was speechless. "Can't you act like a girl?"
"Who says girls can't discuss these things?" Xu Qingya said, "You two have a marriage certificate. As long as you don't do anything explicit in public, you can do whatever you want in your room, okay?"
As she spoke, she handed another bottle of wine to Liang Shi, "Sister Liang, don't be shy, do your best! I'm entrusting the task of making my little niece to you!"
Xu Qingzhu: "...Get out of here."
Xu Qingya curled her lip and said, "Tsk."
As she was heading back to her room, she kept encouraging Liang Shi, "Sister Liang, go for it!"
Liang Shi: "..."
After Xu Qingya returned to her room, the living room became much quieter.
The main problem was that neither of them knew what to say.
In the end, Xu Qingzhu spoke first, "I'm going back to my room now."
Liang Shi followed.
Xu Qingzhu took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned around. Liang Shi was almost stopped and stepped on her.
She hurriedly pulled her foot back, her eyes darting around, "What's wrong?"
Xu Qingzhu handed her the wine, saying, "Put it back, thank you."
Liang Shi carried the two bottles of wine back to the kitchen.
Her discomfort worsened, likely due to the rash. Her body felt heavy, as if something was pulling her down.
Even my head started to feel dizzy.
When she returned to her room, Xu Qingzhu was leaning against the bed scrolling through her phone.
Upon seeing her return, Xu Qingzhu asked, "Are you alright?"
Although he didn't know why she asked that, Liang Shi nodded, "I'm alright, just a little sleepy."
"Let's go to sleep." Xu Qingzhu placed her phone on the bedside table and slipped into the covers like a fish.
The romantic feeling I had just experienced in the room and downstairs has completely vanished.
Liang Shi turned off the bedside lamp before getting into bed, plunging the room into darkness, but turned it back on after she got into bed.
Xu Qingzhu asked, "What's wrong?"
Liang Shi felt his throat was dry, his voice was not very clear, and he could not open his eyes wide, but he still forced himself to say, "I really want some light."
"Are you really alright?" Xu Qingzhu had already turned around, and the two people, separated by a blanket, looked at each other as if they were separated by the Chu River and Han Border.
Liang Shi felt that Xu Qingzhu's vision was also blurry. Her head was dizzy, and she felt like there were little bees buzzing in her ears. She raised her hand and casually placed it on her forehead. Her voice was tender and soft, with a hint of coquettishness, "I'm just a little sleepy."
"Are you sure?" Xu Qingzhu said, "You have a rash on the back of your hand."
Liang Shi frowned slightly, turned his hand around, and placed the back of his hand on his forehead. His voice was still soft, "It's nothing, just an allergic reaction."
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
She downplayed her allergy, as if she didn't care at all.
Xu Qingzhu had seen it downstairs before, but initially didn't pay any attention to it.
Liang Shi was allergic to milk, but she was used to drinking milk in the morning. Not long after they got married, she prepared milk for Liang Shi for breakfast. Liang Shi, who was hungover, didn't see it clearly, took a sip, and spat it out. He scolded her harshly and said that milk should never be in the house again.
Even though she only took a sip, she broke out in a rash all over her body, except for her face.
It was just a rash, and it faded away after a day.
It was never this serious before.
Liang Shi's face was flushed. Xu Qingzhu wanted to look at her hands, but Liang Shi pushed them away as soon as she reached out. She pressed the back of her hands under her body and muttered, "Too ugly."
Slightly childish.
Xu Qingzhu looked at her, her gaze filled with a mixture of inquiry and helplessness.
It can be confirmed that Liang Shi was indeed allergic to milk.
Xu Qingzhu reached out and touched her forehead; it was burning hot.
"You have a fever." Xu Qingzhu immediately stood up. "Let's go to the hospital."
Liang Shi was feeling hot and bothered. She pinched her earlobe, then covered her ears. "I'm not going."
Her voice was low, tinged with a hint of grievance from her physical discomfort: "I'll feel better after a good night's sleep."
“If this burns continue, you’ll become an idiot.” Xu Qingzhu had already taken out her and her own coats from the cabinet. “Get up, I’ll take you to the hospital.”
"Let me sleep for a while." Liang Shi didn't want to move.
Her consciousness was already somewhat hazy.
The symptoms came on very quickly; from the moment she touched the soft bed, her body felt as if it were falling into the deep sea, constantly plummeting.
Her consciousness could not resist the weight of her body.
Xu Qingzhu nudged her, "Liang Shi, get up."
She went to help her up, but her body was limp and Xu Qingzhu couldn't lift her by herself. Yet she still said, "Really, I just need to sleep for a while."
Her bright red lips moved slightly, but unless you listened very closely, you couldn't hear what she was saying.
Xu Qingzhu struggled for a while before finally realizing the truth.
She put Liang Shi back on the bed, went outside and shouted downstairs, "Xu Qingya."
A few seconds later, Xu Qingya ran out in a panic, "What? Is there a fire or an earthquake?"
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
"Come up here and do me a favor," Xu Qingzhu said.
Xu Qingya was taken aback, and muttered as she walked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid of waking up Sister Liang with such loud noise? Besides, instead of working hard to create the next generation of humanity, why are you calling me? I can't help you with anything."
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
She said coldly, "So all that's left of the duck when it dies is its beak?"
Xu Qingya: "...If I'm a duck, what are you? Sister Duck?"
Xu Qingzhu: "Shut up."
As soon as Xu Qingya followed Xu Qingzhu into the room, she saw Liang Shi lying motionless on the bed, his face turned towards the balcony, looking like... dead.
She was shocked. "Xu Qingzhu, what have you done? You didn't kill someone and ask me to help you dispose of the body, did you? This is too much! My God, I have to uphold justice and call the police immediately!"
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
After a long silence, she said quietly, "Are all the people in your grade idiots?"
Xu Qingya didn't understand. "What do you mean?"
"How could someone like you be allowed to get first place?" Xu Qingzhu asked sincerely.
Xu Qingya: "..."
She rolled her eyes and retorted, "Talent."
"Come quickly and help," Xu Qingzhu said. "She's having an allergic reaction."
"An allergic reaction?" Xu Qingya immediately ran over. "Is it that serious? What did you eat?"
"Milk," Xu Qingzhu said calmly, and then helped Liang Shi put on his coat with great effort.
“Milk? Is there really anyone in this world who is allergic to milk?” Xu Qingya said in a rapid-fire manner as she helped Xu Qingzhu up Liang Shi. “Sister Liang was so calm downstairs just now. Didn’t she know she was allergic to milk? And with this level of allergy, she would usually learn her lesson after just one time.”
Xu Qingzhu remained silent.
The two helped Liang Shi downstairs.
Xu Qingya stopped abruptly at the door, her tone serious and earnest, "Sister, so you knew she was allergic to milk, yet you still let her drink it?"
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
She just wanted to test it out.
To everyone's surprise, Liang Shizhen remembered nothing and calmly drank the glass of milk.
"Sister," Xu Qingya angrily questioned, "why didn't you stop her? Severe allergies can be fatal. If Sister Liang really died, that would be murder, do you understand?"
Xu Qingzhu glanced at her coldly, offering no explanation, and said in a chilling voice, "You help her, I'll go get the car."
Xu Qingya: "..."
//
It was already late at night.
The white Porsche sped along the wide road and quickly arrived at the hospital.
Xu Qingzhu called Zhao Xuning on her way there. It happened to be Zhao Xuning's night shift today, so as soon as she entered the hospital, Zhao Xuning had already brought people over and took her directly to the emergency center.
Tests revealed a severe allergic reaction, which triggered the high fever.
Zhao Xuning first gave her an antipyretic injection, then gave her an IV drip and prescribed medicine.
It was already 2 a.m. when everything was finished, and even the hospital had quieted down.
Xu Qingzhu booked a room for Xu Qingya at a nearby hotel, and considering that she had to go to school the next day, she told her to go and rest first.
Xu Qingya glanced around the ward and condemned Xu Qingzhu's cold-blooded behavior, calling him a "cold-blooded animal!"
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
She did not defend her actions, but only told Xu Qingya to leave quickly.
Xu Qingya looked at her distrustfully, "You don't mean to drive everyone away and then secretly smother Sister Liang to death, do you?"
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
She glanced at Xu Qingya coldly, her voice icy, "Murder is a crime."
Xu Qingya snorted, "It's good that you remember."
