The Cultivator's Reborn to 1970s-Chapter 190 - 156

Fingers caressing Zhou Yuwei’s face, he looked at her with deep affection and loyalty, "You must remember your identity, get your position straight, what you should say and what you shouldn’t, keep in mind. You’re smart and don’t need me to remind you. Just as I could pull you out from the health clinic, I could also kick you back there, the kind with no chance of turning over. For me, this is just a trivial matter. Or do you want to go back to the health clinic?"

Zhou Yuwei shook her head violently, her eyes showing a plea for mercy.

"I thought you definitely don’t want to go back. Behave well from now on, don’t make your own decisions. I like obedient girls. Do the tasks given to you properly, don’t meddle in other affairs, and ruin my big plans. The consequences are not something you can bear." His tone became ruthless toward the end, with a piercing coldness in his eyes.

Zhou Yuwei’s jaw was held tight by Chu Yang, unable to speak, she nodded and then shook her head, signaling that she would definitely obey in the future.

Chu Yang nodded in satisfaction, released her, and walked back in front of the mirror to tidy up his appearance, glancing at Zhou Yuwei through the corner of his eyes, "You just mentioned Lan Tian, she came to the hospital? How did she get the news?"

His reflection in the mirror was once again that of a graceful, elegant, and refined nobleman.

"I didn’t tell her, I have no idea how they came to know," Zhou Yuwei didn’t dare mention that she had deliberately boasted to Su Qing, Jiang Xiaoshan, and others. If Chu Yang found out, he would certainly kill her.

She quickly glanced at Chu Yang in the mirror then lowered her head to say, "Maybe they saw her when Su Qing and the others came to the hospital last time. I remember Ma Juanjuan mentioned that Su Qing seemed to be a scout, maybe through some unknown means they knew Junhua was being treated in the hospital. I don’t know what they were thinking, going to Shanghai to pick her up. I wouldn’t have known they brought her here if I hadn’t seen her today, right?"

Afraid that Chu Yang would vent his anger on her again, Zhou Yuwei made up a story and as she continued, she got smoother as if that was the truth.

"Such a big incident happened and you didn’t tell me, are you brain-dead? Apart from flirting with men and being lovey-dovey, can’t you think of anything else? No wonder Mo Junhua looks down on you." Chu Yang was almost driven mad, pacing back and forth in the room. It seemed this matter could no longer be hidden.

Just a step away from success, due to this woman’s ignorance, all previous arrangements became wasted effort. If only the secret could be kept for a few more months, things would have been set, and it would not matter anymore whether Junhua wakes up or not.

"Leave for now, don’t come looking for me in the next few days. I will come to you if there’s anything." Chu Yang was frantic, not in the mood to pay attention to Zhou Yuwei. If the higher-ups knew he messed up, they would definitely not let him off lightly.

To hitch a ride with those above, he had gone to great lengths, and his family had supported him with all their might, not to mention the financial and material resources spent, all aiming for future success, to just touch the Dragon’s success slightly, so that in the future, the family could advance from a third-rate to a first-rate family in Shanghai.

Not to mention being the absolute ruler of Shanghai, but at least they would have a standing in Shanghai and a voice.

Wanting a girl, wasn’t it just a word from him? Unlike now, he had to put so much effort into it and she hadn’t even given him a proper glance.

What’s so good about Mo Junhua, anyway? One after another, eyes are fixed on him. Zhou Yuwei could be dismissed, a piece of trash just for fun, but what made her it worth her fixation on him?

Rubbish!

A murderous look flashed across Chu Yang’s eyes.

Zhou Yuwei, as if granted a great pardon, lowered her head and tiptoed carefully along the wall, stepping out ever so cautiously, for fear of making a sound and waking Chu Yang. She hurried away as soon as she stepped out of the room.

It was like something terrifying was chasing after her. Perhaps out of extreme fear, she wasn’t watching her step and accidentally bumped into the wooden rack for clothes at the door, her face turning pale with fright.

Lost in thought, Chu Yang was startled when he heard the noise at the door. Seeing her pale and pitiful look, his gaze from the shadows of his gloomy eyes was dark.

Since the secret could no longer be kept, he might as well change the plan and called her over, "Come here, I’ve got something good to tell you."

...

The hospital was suffused with the faint smell of disinfectant, which Lan Tian disliked. It reminded her of things from her past life when she lay alone on the hospital bed with only the vast expanse of white ceiling above her and the sympathetic gazes of the nurses.

Outside the window, the bright moon was pure and clear, mirroring Lan Tian’s current mood, cool and sorrowful.

Turning around, she saw the person sleeping peacefully on the other bed and couldn’t calm her feelings. She pulled out a silver needle and pierced Mo Junhua’s Tanzhong acupoint. Seeing the person on the bed suddenly frown, a hint of pain escaping his lips in the silent night, Lan Tian felt relieved.

Her own pain was nothing compared to his. To build her joy upon the pain of others was exhilarating, especially when that person was Mo Junhua. She went back to bed and quickly fell asleep.

In the morning, Lan Tian got up to wash up, and Jiang Xiaoshan had already bought breakfast and was waiting at the door. Seeing Lan Tian come out, he called out with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I’ve bought breakfast. Not sure what you like, so I got a bit of everything—steamed buns, stuffed buns, fried dough sticks, and porridge."

"You haven’t returned to the army." At this time, the army would be doing morning exercises. Jiang Xiaoshan had just come down from the frontline and it was a busy period. How come he could still afford the time to stay in the hospital?

"The battalion commander gave me half a month’s leave, saying that we’ve been hopping around too much on the frontline and should rest up well. There won’t be time to rest later, and there’s nothing much to do in the barracks. It’s boring, but at the hospital, I can look after the battalion commander."

Lan Tian gave him a glance, "Where is Su Qing?"

"He’s gone to Shanghai to pick up Comrade Chunhua."

"Come in first!"

There were many early risers in the hospital, and the two of them talking at the door—one man and one woman—would easily attract attention. Lan Tian turned and headed inside, with Jiang Xiaoshan following her. The door remained open upon entering, so one could see the corridor outside, and people outside could also see in.

"Take a seat. I’m going to get water." She picked up the thermos to leave, realizing it was empty and that there wasn’t even water to offer a guest.

Jiang Xiaoshan put the breakfast on the table, feeling somewhat embarrassed after hearing Lan Tian’s words.

He and Su Qing were both straightforward men who didn’t pay attention to these details. After several days in the hospital, it had never occurred to him to go fetch water; when thirsty, he would just drink tap water directly.

"Sister-in-law, I’ll get the water. You start with your breakfast." He came over to take the thermos from Lan Tian.

"Just eat first," said Lan Tian, looking at Jiang Xiaoshan who was about to leave. "There’s no rush to get water after we’ve eaten."

Jiang Xiaoshan, holding the bottle at the doorway, was caught in a dilemma—neither advancing nor retreating.

Within the Sleeve Universe, there were several Storage Basins that Lan Tian had refined. Later, when she had a chance, she returned to the Taohua Valley and transferred a lot of spiritual soil into the Storage Basins. The older Gathering Spirit Grass was also moved into the Storage Basins and planted according to the Spirit Gathering Array.

The Spiritual Energy in the Storage Basins was rich, allowing for the cultivation of fruits and vegetables that mutated into Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Vegetables, with a wide variety. Lan Tian ordinarily snacked on Spirit Fruit and made salads with Spiritual Vegetables, seldom touching food from the outside world.

Buying her breakfast early in the morning—this thoughtfulness was truly precious.
