“Lin Qing, what are you looking at?” A classmate asked Lin Qing who was looking around, curiously.

Lin Qing raised his head lightly. “Oh, nothing. You all can go first. I still have things to do.” After he finished talking, he carried his bag and ran forward without caring about the classmates behind him.

He seemed to have seen Auntie just now, and it seemed that she was doing something urgent. Secretly, he followed behind Xia Ruoxin and had a distance of fewer than ten meters between them.

As Xia Ruoxin was in a rush, she did not notice that someone was following behind her.

It was here. She found a deserted warehouse and did not know why Shen Wei was here. She hurried in, and other than the rust smell from the old machines, there was an unexplainable smell of blood in the air.

“Shen Wei, is that you? Shen Wei?” She yelled carefully.

“I… am here…” Shen Wei called out weakly. Xia Ruoxin rushed over to the direction of the voice. Indeed, a person was lying behind a bunch of machines.

“Shen Wei?” Xia Ruoxin carefully shouted again.

“Here…” A familiar voice sounded—it was Shen Wei’s.

Xia Ruoxin walked over, and from the dim light coming in through the window, she found Shen Wei with her hair in a mess, leaning against the machines. Her hand was on her stomach, and there was not much color on her face.

“What happened to you?” She opened her bag and took out a handkerchief. This was for her daughter to wipe her nose, but she did not think that Rainy had used it today.

“It’s clean; you can use it.”

“Thank you.” Shen Wei took the handkerchief but did not wipe her face and placed it on her stomach instead.

Xia Ruoxin sniffed.

The smell was… blood.

“Shen Wei, are you injured?”

“Mm,” Shen Wei replied gently before pointing towards her stomach. “Here. There’s a big hole, and my intestine almost came out. It looks weird and gross.”

Xia Ruoxin was frightened until she broke out in cold sweat. Hurriedly, she pulled Shen Wei’s arm. “Come, I’ll bring you to the hospital.”

Shen Wei really could not move, and when Xia Ruoxin helped her stand up, she could only move slightly with much difficulty. Xia Ruoxin stopped in her tracks. “How could I forget? I should call for an ambulance instead.”

“It’s okay.” Shen Wei pulled her hand down.

“My injury can’t be seen by people. When the ambulance comes, it might cause unnecessary trouble. You can just bring me to a small clinic.”

Xia Ruoxin could not do anything about it and could only bring her to wherever she said. After all, regarding Shen Wei’s identity, even though she did not know much; she knew that Shen Wei did some illegal businesses. Also, Shen Wei could not return to Jiangnan probably because of some underlying reason. She did not ask and just listened to whatever Shen Wei said.

When they were about to walk out, the light from the outside landed on Shen Wei’s small body that had not seen the sun in a few days. This caused her eyes to hurt, and she used her hands to block her eyes. There were still bloodstains on her fingers, and at that time, the blood was dripping down, drop by drop.

Xia Ruoxin wanted to say something, but Shen Wei shook her head.

Xia Ruoxin could only clench her teeth. No, this could not go on.

She walked forward and bent down. “Come, I’ll carry you. If this carries on, you’ll die from excessive blood loss.”

Shen Wei peeled her lip with much difficulty and lay on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders.

“Thank you, Ruoxin.”

Xia Ruoxin smiled. “What are you saying? If it was not for you at the start, I’m not sure what kind of situation I would be in now. I’m still waiting to trade your story for mine.”

“I’m thinking…” Shen Wei looked up and saw the sky from afar. Even if the corner of her eyes were stinging—even if her eyes were tearing, she could still look at the scenery and smile.

“We can exchange our stories real soon, but perhaps mine would be more interesting.”

“What’s the use of being so interesting?” Xia Ruoxin walked forward, step by step. “The more interesting it is, the more hurt it brings. Wouldn’t it be better if we just lived normally and peacefully?”

“That’s true…” Shen Wei placed her hand on her stomach and closed her eyes. The pain was making her lose consciousness.

“You haven’t seen my daughter in a long time, right?”

Xia Ruoxin kept talking to the woman on her back from time to time. She could feel that her back already had a wet patch, but it was not sweat. It was blood—Shen Wei’s blood.

She was afraid that if this carried on, Shen Wei would die from blood loss.

Perhaps Shen Wei’s life was not meant to end. Just nice, they found an isolated clinic. Xia Ruoxin told them that they were hiking, and Shen Wei had fallen down from the mountain. When they found her, she was already in that state; and they had lost their phones so they could only come here.

In the clinic, there were only two people and was owned by a couple. Even though it was small, they had decent facilities: all sorts of medication and even a small surgery table.

She waited outside while Shen Wei was inside getting her wound treated. After about an hour or so, the doctor walked out.

Then, he told Xia Ruoxin. “Don’t worry, she’s fine. Even though her injury was serious, she doesn’t have an infection and would recover after injection for a few days.”

Xia Ruoxin finally heaved a sigh of relief. She walked in and saw Shen Wei on a drip, and her abdomen injury was handled already.

Xia Ruoxin pulled open Shen Wei’s blanket and saw the many bandages on top of her wound. There was no longer blood seeping out so it was a good sign for all of them.

She took out her phone and felt that she would not be able to go back today. Just that, there was no one taking care of Rainy and Lin Qing. After much thinking, she gave Du Jingtang a call to ask him to pick the children up and look after them for a few days.

“Sister Ruoxin, where are you now?”

Du Jingtang was naturally excited to pick up Rainy to go home. Their family loved the little cutie, unlike his aunt who viewed silly Chu Xiang as treasure.

“I…” Xia Ruoxin looked at Shen Wei who was in a coma and shook her head. She said, “I’m at a friend’s. She’s sick, and I can’t leave her.”

“Oh, okay. I know. Don’t worry.” Du Jingtang did not ask further. “I’ll bring Little Cutie and that boy over. However, Sister Ruoxin you can give my Brother a call. Aren’t you two…?”

Actually, he wanted to say that they had reconciled and could almost re-marry. However, he took back his words in the end and did not continue further.
