Chapter 15

Before long, footsteps came from outside the door. Song Chisui quickly put the clothes back, then turned and went into the bathroom to rinse her mouth.

“I’m so full.”

Deng Li pushed open the door and walked to the bed in a few steps, then lay down on it as if nothing had happened.

So comfortable.

The velvet quilt, the silk-like fabric—lying on it felt like lying in the clouds, so blissful she could ascend to heaven.

There was also a faint scent of sunshine on the headboard, mixed with the hidden fragrance of someone’s camellias.

Lying on a mattress worth millions really did feel different.

Deng Li instantly did not want to get up.

She spread herself out in a starfish shape, both feet exposed outside the quilt, and recalled the brief moment she had lain in this blanket that day. The lingering feeling still remained in her heart. How wond bailiantales.com erful would it be if she could always sleep on the bed?

Before she could enjoy it for long, the sound of wheelchair wheels came beside her ear.

Very soon, Song Chisui’s small figure appeared before her. From this angle, the other woman was just looking down at her, her eyes cold as blades.

“Xiao Sui.”

“Get up.”

Simple and cruel.

“Can I sleep here from now on…”

“No.”

That face beneath the straight bangs was clearly cute, and the way she dressed was like an approachable little sister next door. How could her heart be so vicious?

Those eyes stared at her from top to bottom. Seeing that Deng Li did not move, [bailiantales.com]Song Chisui took action.

She grabbed Deng Li’s sleeve and pulled outward with all her strength.

Perhaps Deng Li was too heavy, or perhaps Song Chisui had no strength. Deng Li did not move at all.

“That won’t work. You have to pull my wrist.”

Hearing that, Song Chisui looked toward her arm. Bluish veins stood out on that lotus-white, slender wrist, giving off the aura of a healthy body.

She pressed her thin lips tightly together. Her pair of small hands gripped Deng Li and pulled downward.

“Get up.”

The icy hands pressed against her. Deng Li shivered, and the positive value in her mind rose rapidly.

“System, why is the speed so fast?”

“Because she is the one actively pulling you, so the points are increasing at double the rate.”

“Why didn’t you say that earlier?”

“You didn’t ask.”

She enjoyed being dragged, enjoyed the increase in positive value, while begging Song Chisui, “Xiao Sui, touch me more. I like it.”

The other woman’s face was cold, but visibly, during this struggle, her cheeks had turned faintly red. She released Deng Li’s hand and maintained her cool, aloof air.

“You’re not getting up?”

The air froze at once, so silent a falling needle could be heard.

Song Chisui had a cold, gloomy aura. When she reached the point of eruption, even a little sun would be frozen three feet deep.

Deng Li reluctantly got up from the bed, arranged the bedding with both hands, and even made an inviting gesture.

“Xiao Sui, do you need me to carry you up?”

“No need.”

Deng Li slunk toward the bathroom, sighing as she went. Xiao Sui was so cold. It seemed she had never seen her smile before.

But then again, how would a villain protagonist smile? Deng Li was not Jian Qiuyu, her white moonlight.

That was true. After today, she had to work even harder to save up positive value. Now that the sprout of love had risen in Song Chisui’s heart, it was only natural that she hated Deng Li.

Deng Li had to get close to her, but the other woman would not let her get close. Was this not a dilemma?

After standing in place and thinking for a long while, Song Chisui stared at her with icy eyes.

“Aren’t you going to bathe?”

“I’m going now.”

Finally, things quieted down.

Song Chisui let out a breath of relief and looked toward the figure in the bathroom.

Under the bathroom heater, Deng Li’s shadow looked extremely bright. She was taking off her top and kicking off her pants. Her long, slender body was like a silhouette, and when she stood sideways, there were curves in front and behind, along with the finishing touch at her chest.

Song Chisui’s lashes trembled, and she quickly looked away.

She could not understand why Deng Li had secretly saved her. Shouldn’t Deng Li hope that she died sooner, so she could inherit the estate?

Could it be…

She remembered Sister Lan’s words: “She said she missed you.”

Song Chisui’s lashes trembled, and her breath hitched.

At that moment, Deng Li, who was humming a tune and washing her hair in the bathroom, suddenly paused.

“What’s going on?”

She was bathing, but the screen in her mind lit up. She saw that her positive value had suddenly risen by 20 points!

“Youqian, what’s going on?”

She had not touched or kissed anyone. Why had the positive value suddenly gone up? Truly joyous news.

The system calculated briefly.

“Oh, this is the other party’s psychological change value. Just like the first time, when she resisted you, your points were deducted. If she develops positive emotions toward you, naturally, points will be added.”

In other words, Song Chisui’s heart had undergone a change, and it was a positive one.

Deng Li was delighted.

“Then what positive emotion did she have because of? Was it because I found a doctor for her, sent her to school, or something else?”

“That isn’t clear.”

What use was this system?

Forget it. She would stop asking.

She had only been happy for a short while when the positive value that had just gone up suddenly dropped by 10 points with lightning speed.

“What happened now?”

“Ahem. It’s because her emotions toward you are unstable. She remembered the bad things about you, so the positive value dropped again.”

“It can do that too?”

What a small little head with such big twists. No, such complicated twists.

Still, something was better than nothing. Those 10 points stabilized after a long while.

Song Chisui returned to bed.

She pinched that button, unable to believe Deng Li’s nonsense about liking her or missing her no matter what.

Then there was only one reason. Perhaps Deng Li had not yet found a better opportunity to make a move against her.

She took out a blue box, placed the button inside, and hid it in the bedside cabinet.

Toward Deng Li, she still could not lower her guard.

They slept peacefully through the night.

The next day, the doctor arrived.

She was a woman in her forties, a doctor of medicine. She wore gold-rimmed glasses, her hair tied up, and a professional white coat.

She sat by the bed, using advanced instruments to conduct a simple examination of Song Chisui’s body.

“Does it hurt?” She pressed Song Chisui’s head. “Here.”

Song Chisui said, “It doesn’t hurt.”

“What about here?”

She pressed against her chest.

Song Chisui shook her head.

Du Jinyue was Song Chisui’s private doctor. She had followed her for eight years and knew Song Chisui’s body like the back of her hand.

So there should not be any problem with her examination.

Deng Li stood to the side. Only when she saw Du Jinyue put down the stethoscope did she step forward to ask, “Doctor.”

The woman in the white coat turned to her.

“My surname is Du. You can call me Doctor Du.”

“All right, Doctor Du. How is her body?”

Doctor Du said, “From an initial look, there’s nothing wrong. If you insist on a further examination, you can take her to get scans. That will be more reassuring.”

However, scans involved radiation.

Deng Li nodded.

Doctor Du turned to look at Song Chisui.

“You’re far too thin. If this continues, it won’t be good for your…” Her gaze swept over Song Chisui’s legs, then quickly withdrew. “You understand, don’t you?”

Song Chisui nodded as if intentionally and unintentionally.

“I have been eating.”

Doctor Du was helpless.

“In any case, your body is your own. The next time we meet, if I see that you’re still this thin, I won’t take responsibility for your condition anymore.”

This doctor had personality too. Patients who did not listen would not be treated.

She swiftly wrote something in the medical record, her words also very cold and merciless. She was definitely not some gentle female doctor.

After saying that, she turned to look at Deng Li.

“You’re her newlywed wife, aren’t you?”

Deng Li nodded.

“We only got married not long ago. Less than a month.”

Doctor Du’s gaze lowered. She looked Deng Li up and down.

“It hasn’t even been a month, and you’ve already tormented her into this state?”

Deng Li’s ears rang, as if she had heard something extremely suggestive.

Song Chisui also coughed dryly, half her face turning red.

“Pay attention. Her bones are small. She’s not as sturdy as you.”

After saying that, Doctor Du even patted Deng Li’s shoulder.

“If this happens again, I’ll hold you responsible.”

Deng Li had no words to defend herself.

“I know to be careful, Doctor.”

“Mm. You need to understand. Everything needs to be fed. You can’t only care about one mouth.”
